Chapter 1181 Scaled Wind Tunnel

The big picture that Chang Haonan painted brought extraordinary morale to the entire project team.

After the first working meeting, all units began their respective research and development work according to the previously agreed division of labor.

In particular, several institutes directly involved in the development of the double-cone verification missile have started the overclocking mode under the overall responsibility of the 2006th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and the Aviation Power Group. They plan to complete the first seeker working test within half a year and launch the first complete missile before the end of .

After all, a lot of mature technologies are applied, and the ultimate goal is not to equip troops, so many designs based on tactical considerations can be put aside.

So the whole schedule seems quite tight.

Of course, from the very beginning, this verification missile was intended to fill the approximately two-year window period required for the JF14 wind tunnel development. If too much time is delayed on this, it would become a matter of missing the forest for the trees.

From another perspective, this also puts a certain amount of pressure on the mechanics responsible for wind tunnel development.

Therefore, after returning to the unit, Jiang Zongli, who was responsible for the design of the shock wave reflection structure and the wind tunnel control system, quickly assembled the R&D team and prepared to start targeted technical research.

At the beginning, Deputy Gao Yunliang asked in a worried tone:

"Boss Jiang, I see that Researcher Chen and his team have been working very hard since about three or four days ago, but there has been no movement on our side, and the comrades are a little worried..."

The technical staff below have basically heard about the differences between Jiang Zonglin and Chen Hong on the direction of the next stage of work.

Therefore, although there have been rumors that the two sides are conducting research simultaneously, seeing that their competitors have already taken action, they can't help but worry that they will be eliminated and become a spare tire.

"Do not worry."

Jiang Zonglin turned on his computer and gave his subordinates a reassurance:

"The overall resources obtained by the institute this time are relatively rich, so we plan to achieve long experimental time, high reproduction accuracy, and shock wave reflection type forward detonation drive in the next wind tunnel, that is, to directly come up with a mature product with complete engineering value!"

With these words, the emotions of the people around them instantly became high.

There was even a cheer.

After the atmosphere calmed down again, he continued to explain:

"You know, in this way, although both sides are working simultaneously, the burden on our shoulders is much heavier than that of Researcher Chen and his team... So in the past few days, I have been verifying a new design idea. Now I will introduce it to you..."

The reason for saying this is not because Jiang Zongli has any prejudice against Chen Hong's work.

The latter task does not involve too many hardware changes and is relatively easy.

On the one hand, the absolute workload is less.

On the other hand, and more importantly, Chen Hong and his team can rely on the existing JF10 wind tunnel to conduct technical testing, which is relatively controllable in terms of both cycle and cost.

Even if some problems are found in the process, there is still a chance to remedy them.

On the other hand, Jiang Zonglin himself had to build and test both the shock wave reflection chamber and the auxiliary detonation section.

If something goes wrong, I will be the sinner of the entire project...

While speaking, Jiang Zongli had already projected the PPT onto the screen.

Internal meetings of the research group do not need any fancy stuff.

Therefore, this PPT has no additional decorations and no additional opening remarks.

The first thing to do is to fill up the calculation content.

Gao Yunliang next to him opened his notebook as usual, then looked up and glanced at the contents on the screen.

then……

"Boss Jiang, this..."

The smile that was on his face just now slowly froze.

"This is the optimized design method of the forward detonation drive." Jiang Zonglin pointed behind him:

“I know the following part may be complicated, but for a long time to come, our work will revolve around the contents of the PPT… So, if you don’t write down the key contents I marked in red, please tell me at that time…”

Although he had been prepared in advance, this level of intensity was something even Jiang Zongli himself could not stand when he heard Chang Haonan introduce it.

Not to mention his men.

Less than ten minutes into the session, someone told me to speak slower, otherwise they would not be able to follow my thoughts.

Fortunately, most people just need to follow the steps to apply it, and it’s not a big problem even if they don’t know why…

"To be honest, Professor Gao, I have been a graduate student in the institute for four years, and I never knew that Researcher Jiang's mathematical skills were so strong..."

During the break, when several people including Jiang Zonglin went out to smoke, a doctoral student named Zhou Kai whispered to his supervisor Gao Yunliang beside him.

After hearing this, the latter also showed a trace of confusion on his face:

"Don't mention you... I started working at the Institute of Mechanics in early 93. It's been more than twelve years now, and I didn't know that Researcher Jiang was so skilled..."

However, he soon found a reason for himself:

"Otherwise, how could he become the leader of our group? I'm afraid he has put a lot of effort in this area over the years."

"Zhou Kai, you should also learn from Researcher Jiang's spirit of lifelong learning and lifelong progress. You should not limit your research direction because of your professional background..."

"..."

Gao Yunliang was so busy teaching the students that he didn't notice that Jiang Zongli had come back from outside after smoking a cigarette a few minutes ago.

The latter naturally heard all the flattery from both of them throughout the whole process.

At the beginning, it was inevitable that I felt a little complacent.

But in the end, I couldn't listen anymore.

"Cough-cough-"

Jiang Zongli felt his face getting a little hot, and he pretended to choke on the cigarette and coughed twice.

Then he returned to his seat and said in a tone that was half talking to himself and half explaining:

"In fact, the theoretical research above was done by Academician Chang. I just added the calculation method related to wind tunnel design..."

The scene was a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, as a young junior, Zhou Kai is more suitable to liven up the atmosphere in such occasions.

"Academician Chang, the one from the year before last..."

Jiang Zonglin nodded:

"The fact that this project suddenly received so many resources is largely due to Academician Chang."

Although much of Chang Haonan's work has not yet been made public, the name itself is convincing enough based on the honors he has received so far.

Zhou Kai pointed at the notebook in front of him that was already filled with words:

"Then Researcher Jiang, does this mean that as long as we follow this method, we can design a forward detonation drive that meets the requirements?"

Based on past experience in developing the JF10 wind tunnel, the driver, as the core component of the equipment, generally needs to go through several rounds of design and test iterations before it can enter normal working conditions.

Even after the wind tunnel is started, further debugging and improvements are needed based on actual needs.

But now, although the content on the PPT is very complex in terms of calculation, the whole project is still going so smoothly that it is somewhat unbelievable.

However, Jiang Zonglin hesitated:

"Although Academician Chang's theory is definitely correct... including my subsequent supplements, it should be fine, but after all, it is an engineering matter, so we still have to be cautious."

"I plan to use this design method to conduct a test in the JF-X scale wind tunnel... If the experimental results match the calculation results, I will then scale it up to the actual project..."
