Chapter 455 Because He Is Academician Zhao!

"Compared with the aircraft model in the science fiction movie, prepare a detailed analysis report? It also requires that for each part, the analysis is reasonable, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and whether it can be improved..."

"Why?"

"What's the point of doing this? Does Academician Zhao want to create an airplane similar to a toy model?"

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong looked at each other with confused eyes. They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. At the same time, they were both thinking about the reason why Zhao Yi asked them to write an analysis report based on the toy model.

Bao Enhong was fine, she couldn't think of it anymore. In fact, she didn't apply to come to the capital by herself. It was just that the project of the latest Wucheng Institute had just ended, and she was relatively free when she was asked if she was willing to come to the capital. Think about how she could be in the famous place. I worked under the illustrious Academician Zhao, and I also got some extra business trip subsidies, which was pretty good, so I agreed.

She had the kind of happy-go-lucky personality. She couldn't think of anything, so she just thought, "Maybe it's some idea of ​​Academician Zhao's."

"Anyway, just do the analysis."

Lei Yong is much more positive.

Half a year ago, Lei Yong followed the team to complete the design of an aircraft starting with the word "Hong". He made enough contributions in the process, and he was promoted to researcher due to his similar age and qualifications.

In an aircraft design research institute, it was actually a bit awkward for him to be promoted to researcher for the first time. It was difficult for him to lead a team on his own to apply for big projects, and he only continued to follow the team to do trivial design work. It seemed that his rating was improved or not. There is no difference, except that the salary is slightly higher.

Lei Yong hopes to go further. If the Aircraft Design Institute wants to go further, it must make enough R&D contributions and reach the level of designing alone in a team.

If you want to go further, you must have outstanding performance in design. For example, the famous J-10 and J-20 designers have become the country's leading aircraft designers, but even if they become top aircraft designers, There are also higher pursuits, such as evaluating academicians of the Academy of Sciences.

This is the highest pursuit in terms of ratings!

It is relatively easy to become an academician in some professional fields, but it is very difficult to become an academician in some majors.

Aircraft designers fall into the latter category.

Of course.

It is still too early for Lei Yong to be evaluated as an academician. He still hopes that he can take a step closer and accumulate enough qualifications to personally lead a team to apply for an aircraft design project.

If you continue to earn qualifications in a research institute and follow the team to do minor designs, it will be too difficult to earn enough qualifications.

Therefore, when he heard that he had the opportunity to go to the capital and join Zhao Yi's 'War Eagle Special Research Group', Lei Yong quickly applied for it. The 'War Eagle Special Research Group' was newly built and was not yet part of the aviation group's system. It was almost the same as 'Specially appointed experts' are almost the same, except that they are replaced by 'specially appointed teams'. But working with the famous Academician Zhao, even if there are no results, is much better than slowly gaining qualifications at the Aircraft Research Institute.

In addition, will Academician Zhao be unable to produce results?

No!

When many people in the institute discussed privately, most of them were still not optimistic about the War Eagle Special Research Group, but some people also thought that they could give it a try because Zhao Yi's scientific research resume is so gorgeous and he seems to be able to produce results in any field. , maybe it can also produce results in aircraft design?

That's what Lei Yong thought.

Several people from the Shencheng Aircraft Research Institute wanted to come to the capital to have a look. In the end, it was Lei Yong who took the initiative to find the director and got the chance to work for the first time.

Lei Yong is very much looking forward to joining the 'War Eagle Special Research Group'. He hopes to make some results with Zhao Yi, and also hopes that he can contribute to research and development. In short, he hopes to make something, and he has been happy along the way. After thinking about this issue, the results arrived...

Write an analysis report on the model?

Are you kidding me?

Lei Yong was full of confusion, but he still didn't say it out loud. Instead, he pondered over and over again about the reason.

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong still didn't say anything in the office. They just listened to Zhao Yi's arrangement of writing reports. Then everyone got the same model and walked out of the office with doubts.

After making sure it was far enough away from the office, Bao Enhong couldn't help but ask, "What do you think Academician Zhao means?"

She pointed to the airplane model in her hand and commented, "It's very exquisite and has a sense of technology."

"A show of force?" Lei Yong thought for a long time and came to such a conclusion.

Bao Enhong looked unconcerned and said, "Isn't it necessary? Academician Zhao, why do you want to bully us?"

"Right……"

Lei Yong thought about it carefully and it was impossible. He was just an ordinary aircraft designer. He was a researcher in the institute. His status was very different from Zhao Yi. The difference in level was so big that there was no need to do anything. 'Showing off' kind of thing.

"Could it be..."

Lei Yong said another possibility, "Academician Zhao just loves to play? Academician Zhao is indeed very young. He likes science fiction movies? Now he is researching and designing aircraft. He wants to design an aircraft similar to the one in the movie?"

"this……"

Bao Enhong thought about it and said, "Academician Zhao shouldn't be so naive."

"Right."

Lei Yong thought about it and felt that what Bao Enhong said made sense. How could someone with naive ideas achieve such high achievements? Academician Zhao is definitely very mature and has his own ideas about research and development.

"So……"

Lei Yong suddenly realized and said, "I know, actually, Academician Zhao may just want to test us!"

"test?"

"Yes, we have just come to this group, and no one else knows what our level is. Academician Zhao must have wanted to come up with a question to test us and see our level, so that we can understand before entrusting us with the work."

"That makes sense!"

Bao Enhong followed the train of thought and thought carefully, and felt that Lei Yong's analysis was reasonable, so she immediately gave him a 'powerful' look.

Lei Yong was immediately very proud. He seemed to have become the leading figure, and he immediately said, "We all have to show our true level. Analyze and discuss as much as possible, and write down everything we know and relevant. If we can get the approval of Academician Zhao, Maybe with the design work on the Warhawk aircraft, we can become the main force.”

Bao Enhong nodded and said, "If there is anything I don't understand, Lei Yong, please tell me."

"No problem." Lei Yong patted his chest hard.

…

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong officially joined the company.

After completing the entry procedures and dealing with daily chores such as accommodation, the two officially entered the working state. Because they were not tied down by life, they seemed to work very hard. They were bored in the office for more than ten hours a day. Others passed by and paid attention, and found that the two of them were in the same state many times--

Look carefully at an airplane model!

The others immediately started gossiping, and Zhou Qing was a very gossipy one. "Captain Yuan, have you noticed the two newcomers? They seem to be engaged in aircraft design. They are really professional."

"What's wrong?" Yuan Haitao asked strangely.

"Look, they've been looking at the airplane model on the table all day long, and they have one each, exactly the same." Zhou Qing said and came over mysteriously, "Let me tell you, I know that model, it seems to be some science fiction From the movies, Star Wars? Guardians of the Galaxy? Or something..."

"Anyway, it's that kind of foreign movie, very sci-fi... What's the name of the movie? Why can't I remember it?"

Zhou Qing said, lost in thought.

Yuan Haitao doesn't care what kind of movie it is. He just thinks it's very interesting. "Perhaps, aircraft design is like this. Science fiction movies represent the future and imagination. They need inspiration."

"Right."

Zhou Qing kept nodding as he listened, "It's like designing an engine. I often look at pictures of top foreign engines!"

"You are just a repairman, why are you talking about designing an engine? Do you want shame or not?" Yuan Haitao said with a corner of his mouth.

Zhou Qing said depressedly, "If we don't design it, it won't work even if we look at it. I just hope that I can repair that kind of engine in the future. But having said that, I have learned a lot today. No wonder the designs of airplanes now are more and more like those in the movies. It's close, I read news reports two days ago, and Country Y released a concept drawing of a sixth-generation aircraft, which is not even comparable to the one in the movie."

"You said the opposite."

Yuan Haitao emphasized, "It should be like the one in the movie, and the plane in reality."

The two immediately started arguing about the issue.

In fact, as Yuan Haitao said, the design of the aircraft in the movie will take into account realistic factors, and the existing aircraft will be designed to be more technological, so that the audience will have a feeling of "that is the aircraft of the future" , and immediately felt very powerful and advanced.

If the design of the plane is completely divorced from reality, the audience will not know what it is when they see it, and the movie will be in trouble.

From the daily discussions between Yuan Haitao and Zhou Qing, we can actually see that the War Eagle group is relatively idle as a whole, and there are only three people who are really busy, Bao Enhong, Lei Yong, and Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had been thinking about where to start. At first, he wanted the aircraft designers who came here to come up with a plan. After thinking about it, he gave up because the aircraft designers who came here would definitely be limited in their thinking and have no imagination. If they don't have enough power, they will lack creativity. The plans they give are probably no different from other design plans. Even because of their level, the design logic may be conservative or have other problems.

When Zhao Yi was shopping with Lin Xiaoqing, he saw exquisite airplane models displayed in a toy store, and then he remembered where he could first buy airplane models.

The aircraft model is from a science fiction movie. It looks very technological in appearance. Some parts are designed to be very 'mysterious'. I don't know what they do specifically, but they can be analyzed in detail.

If there is a complete set of design discussions, the aircraft's appearance design can be adjusted based on the engine parameters.

This part is the most straightforward.

The War Eagle Group made some designs based on the WZ-A1 engine parameters.

For example, the most straightforward appearance.

Before other departments give specific component parameters, the appearance design cannot be finalized, but the main frame can be built and small details can be modified and adjusted.

This part of the design is mainly based on the engine, designing a framework that can best utilize the engine performance, and making the aircraft as flexible as possible.

The advantage of the War Eagle team is that they have all the parameters of the engine, can design the aircraft according to the parameters of the engine, and can maximize the performance of the engine.

As for whether the engine can achieve the desired effect, it is something that does not need to be considered at all.

This will not be a problem.

After the Kunlun engine prototype was designed, we have been debugging and solving problems. It seems that the debugging of the prototype is a big problem, but in fact, the War Eagle team does not have this problem, because their design is very complete, and 'finding problems' is still Zhao Yi's specialty , problems that may exist after the prototype is manufactured can only be caused by non-compliance in the manufacturing process.

Of course.

The manufacturing of prototypes may also encounter problems caused by material performance, but the possibility of this happening is not high because during the design acceptance process, the expert group of the aviation group took the material issues into consideration and conducted targeted demonstrations. , the argument may not be sufficient, but it is still ok to ensure that there are no major problems.

…

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong were both very capable. They worked for five consecutive days and searched for information to conduct various demonstrations on the aircraft model. Finally, they came up with a detailed discussion of 78 pages.

It was like a complex technical professional paper. No one could have imagined that it would be an analysis report on an aircraft model.

The two handed the report to Zhao Yi together.

Zhao Yi flipped through the report a few times, looked at the pages of the report, nodded with satisfaction, and commented affirmatively, "Well done."

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong were both overjoyed. They thought that Zhao Yi would be entrusted with important tasks next, but what they didn't expect to hear was, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's rest for the next two days and go around and have fun." I’ll give you two days off, it doesn’t matter if it’s longer.”

"ah?"

The two of them were a little confused.

Although it would be nice to be able to play around during the holidays, the prerequisite is that they get approval from work. They are not here for fun when they are on a business trip.

But...

Zhao Yi seemed to have no intention of reassigning work, but raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"

"without……"

"No more...Academician Zhao, let's go out first."

After Bao Enhong finished speaking, she tugged on the corner of Lei Yong's clothes, and the two of them walked out together in embarrassment. They both felt very puzzled. How could the report not be followed up after it was handed in?

Didn’t you just complete the test?

Or……

"Academician Zhao needs to take time to look carefully, so let us relax for two days?" Lei Yong guessed.

"yes."

Bao Enhong nodded, feeling that Lei Yong's analysis made sense. They didn't have anything to do. It seemed good to have two days off to play around.

In the end, the two of them still didn't go out to play.

One is that they are not in the mood, and the other is that they just want to take a walk around. They have just come to work here, and it seems more important to understand the working environment. Since they came here, they have been bored in the office most of the time, even their colleagues who will work together in the future. I don’t even know a few of them.

Three days.

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong still come over every day because they can chat with other people in their free time and get to know the working environment. In their opinion, the working environment is very poor and there is no equipment or experiments related to aircraft design. Like, even the workspace is an office.

At the same time, they were also surprised by the parameters of the WZ-A1 engine.

"This is really amazing. When I was in the dormitory, I heard about this engine. It seemed that it was aimed at the J-31? It is indeed an engine for a fifth-generation aircraft. It is better than foreign engines!"

“I don’t know when it will be perfected, but when it is actually used, it will be amazing!”

Lei Yong sighed repeatedly.

Aircraft design is restricted by engine parameters. They consider 10-14 tons of thrust when designing aircraft, which is the level of engines imported from country E, and thrust is only part of the engine performance.

Thrust, not all.

For aircraft design, the most important indicator of an engine is not its maximum thrust, but its explosive power and stability.

Explosive force, that is, the instantaneous power increase speed, is like a car driving on the road. Some can accelerate to 100 meters in three seconds, while others require six, seven or even more seconds.

The speed of acceleration directly reflects the performance of the car's engine.

Of course.

To a certain extent, higher maximum thrust means higher explosive power. However, with high explosive power, there will actually be a negative impact, which brings about another important factor in measuring engine performance - -

stability.

Stability is very, very important.

Stability not only refers to the problem of flameout, but also includes allowing the engine to maintain the same working efficiency as much as possible in harsh environments. Fighters need to perform various actions, such as flying at low altitude, diving quickly or rising vertically, or rolling in the air. ,etc.

These actions will bring about changes in the airflow at the intake port, and even changes in the direction of the airflow. Changes in the airflow will affect the operation of the entire engine, making it difficult to maintain stability.

What surprised Lei Yong was that the WZ-A1 engine had the stability threshold in the design evaluation data. With the latest port piston design, coupled with the correction of the stator blades, the WZ-A1 engine could suddenly drop to zero at the air inlet. Under such circumstances, it can still continue to work stably for a period of time, and the compressor will not suffer a series of problems caused by internal pressure changes. It can also use the high pressure released by the piston to provide a second power to the aircraft.

Hearing the praises of Lei Yong and Bao Enhong, the others also puffed up their chests and felt very proud.

Although most of the designs were completed by Academician Zhao, they are still members of the War Eagle group and have contributed to the engine design. At the same time, many people also discussed Zhao Yi, "What is Academician Zhao doing?"

"He seems to have been bored in the office for more than two days, right?"

"Is it design?"

"It's impossible to do design, right?" Lei Yong said, "Academician Zhao seems to be reading our report." He added, "Maybe, I'm not sure."

"Yeah?"

"What report?"

"..."

Lei Yong didn't speak this time, and Bao Enhong didn't speak either. She hurriedly walked to the corner and sat down, as if to prevent others from noticing.

Others found that Lei Yong didn't answer and thought it was something confidential, so they didn't continue to ask. They were not worried about Zhao Yi because there was a female assistant named Qian Hong who was responsible for taking care of his life.

If something goes wrong, Qian Hong will definitely know.

In addition, Yuan Haitao has also seen Zhao Yi several times from outside the door, so there is nothing to worry about.

While everyone was still discussing, the door of the office suddenly opened, and Zhao Yi walked out. His expression seemed a little tired, but he looked bright and energetic as he stared at the printed paper in his hand.

"Everyone, come here."

Zhao Yi walked over and waved to everyone, "Everyone go to the conference room. I want to explain the work distribution issue."

"oh."

Everyone agreed and walked towards the conference room with a huff.

Yuan Haitao was relatively familiar with Zhao Yi. He leaned over and took a look at the paper in Zhao Yi's hand, and asked with some surprise, "This is... an airplane from what movie? It looks very nice!"

"The shape I designed."

Zhao Yi was also a little proud, "It's pretty good," he said, pointing to Lei Yong and Bao Enhong, "The aircraft analysis report is very good and it helped me a lot so that I could complete this appearance design."

"What?"

Lei Yong passed by and listened and opened his mouth in surprise, "Academician Zhao, you said you have completed the aircraft's shape design?"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yi was a little confused.

Everyone else looked over.

"No, when did you finish it, and why so fast? It's impossible..." Lei Yong fell into confusion for a moment. He also glanced at the airplane diagram in Zhao Yi's hand, "Besides, this... should be in some movie Right? So... powerful..."

Zhao Yi said with satisfaction, "You also think it's very artistic and technological, right? I think so too."

"Our War Eagle-1 has roughly this appearance. It is estimated that there will be revisions in the future, but there will be no major changes."

Lei Yong couldn't accept it for a while.

When everyone else had entered the conference room, he was still standing in a daze. Yuan Haitao was also standing next to him. He patted Lei Yong on the shoulder and said, "Have you noticed? Others don't care at all."

"Since you have come to the War Eagle Group, as an old man, I want to remind you."

"You must have a big heart. Don't be surprised when you see what designs and researches Academician Zhao has completed. You have to get used to it."

"It becomes natural if you get used to it."

"Do you think it's incredible that Academician Zhao completed the aircraft shape design so quickly? No, this seems normal to me. We can't do it, but he is Academician Zhao!"

"do you understand?"

"..."
