Chapter 134 No more pretending, I’m showing off my cards
"In May, General Luo of the General Staff issued an instruction to start the design work of the domestically produced J-5.
A few days ago, General He also requested that the J-8 be completed as soon as possible.
Next month, in September, design work will begin in full swing.
Are you interested in participating?"
Just when Fang wanted to sigh that the country's basic technology was lagging far behind.
Professor Li suddenly said something, interrupting Fang Xiang's thoughts.
"I admit that I underestimated you before.
Your understanding of the WP-6 engine is a little exaggerated.
It is already the best in the country.
Regardless of whether your idea can be implemented.
At least, in terms of theoretical argumentation, it is still very insightful.
Therefore, on behalf of Shenfei, I would like to invite you to participate in the subsequent research and development of the J-8's WP-7 engine."
Professor Li saw Fang Xiang's surprised expression and gave some explanation.
"Follow-up? Is it almost finished?"
Fang Xiang grasped the key point. In the early stage of the 8th generation, there was no doubt that it was equipped with the WP-7 engine.
Initially, WP-7 was also designed specifically for Type 8.
However, I didn’t expect that the design work has reached the advanced stage.
"In fact, the design work has been completed. At present, the theoretical verification work has also been fully completed.
It’s just because the materials required are complex and the standards are high.
So we are still in the stage of making prototypes.
If nothing unexpected happens, we will start ground test runs early next year.”
Professor Li talked about the current situation of WP-7.
"We've already reached the stage of prototype manufacturing. What do you want me to do?"
Fang Xiang asked subconsciously.
Aircraft engines are absolutely high-tech.
The top class of high-end manufacturing industry.
It can even be said that it is more difficult than a rocket engine.
After all, with a rocket engine, you can make bricks fly with violent force.
It is not completely impossible even if the speed and high temperature resistance cannot be achieved.
It's just that the speed design is lower and the fuel-propulsion ratio is lower.
If the intercontinental standard cannot be reached, then long-range can be used. If long-range is not possible, then medium-range can be used.
Once it is made, it can be put aside and slowly upgraded according to the development progress of the basic materials.
Climb the technology tree step by step, improve basic material technology, and upgrade medium-range to long-range, and then to intercontinental.
After all, missiles are a deterrent force in the Rabbit family and are rarely used.
Even if it is just a decoration, it can make the whole world tremble with fear and ask around about the data of your missile.
As for the actual parameters, who knows?
Unlike North Korea, which exhibited a new waverider missile.
It scared the whole world, and even made people think of rabbits involuntarily.
Are these two having any private PY transaction?
But only an expert can see the clue through the connection between the bullet and the body.
This thing is definitely a knockoff.
It is still a fake knockoff that is completely copied by visual inspection.
But this is not the case for aircraft engines, as the objective factors and conditions they require are more complex and stringent.
If you say no, it means no.
The airplane can't even fly into the sky, so what you build is not even as good as a toy.
Even if we manage to create one that can fly into the sky.
Either it cannot fly for long before having to be dismantled and repaired, or the speed does not meet the standard.
Then others won’t be afraid of you.
"Of course, I will participate in the subsequent research and development work. At present, the WP-7 is only the initial version.
Various performance parameters just meet the design indicators.
But the J-8 will certainly continue to improve and raise requirements over time.
WP-7 will also be upgraded.
Before, Professor Xu told me that you are the most talented engine genius in the country, but I didn’t believe it.
Now it has been verified, especially your perspective on the future development of engines.
The description is very clear and the logic is correct.
Therefore, research work on the subsequent models of WP-7.
I think it is very necessary for you, who are already very familiar with WP-6, to participate.
How about it, would you like to consider it?"
Professor Li saw that Fang Xiang was interested, so he expressed his idea to him.
"Yes, I cannot refuse to serve my country."
Fang Xiang nodded, finally waiting for this moment.
All the preparations I have done before were just to be able to participate in aerospace projects.
I guess I have joined.
The country would not have wasted so many years in the field of aerospace engines.
There is no need to cross the river by feeling the buttocks of the Eagle Sauce. There is no need to buy foreign blueprints at high prices.
The sooner Mr. Bay can take to the sky, the country's airspace will be better protected.
"it is good!
Then pack your things and come with me to Shen Fei to report next week."
Professor Li smiled, although he had already expected Fang Xiang to join in.
But when Fang really wanted to nod, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Ah? Go report to Shen Fei?"
Fang Xiang was stunned for a moment.
Doing scientific research projects and drawing blueprints are no problem.
But going to Shenfei was beyond Fang Xiang's plan.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that I spent so much money to buy and renovate the courtyard.
And Liu Shuying, who had just tasted the sweetness of success, made him unable to give her up.
"Otherwise, do you think you will stay in the capital?"
Professor Li immediately understood Fang Xiang’s idea.
I thought Fang Xiang was a selfless young man dedicated to serving the country.
Unexpectedly...
“If it’s just design, I can definitely stay in Mizuki.
What kind of drawing do you need? Just tell me and I'll draw it and hand it in. Isn't that enough?
Moreover, Professor Xu asked me to be his lecturer and help him to substitute for the class. "
Fang Xiang scratched his head and gave a reason that was not really a reason.
"you!
How can you be so selfish! You only think about your own interests.
But they have thrown the interests of the country behind them? ! "
Professor Li's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Fang Xiang, looking as if he felt sorry for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit.
"No, Professor.
What is my identity when I go to Shenfei?
I am currently a sophomore at Shuimu University and have not yet received my diploma.
Even his professional title was just a Level 9 engineer by chance.
A person of low status has little influence.
In Shenfei, what do you think? What difference does it make whether I go or not? "
Fang Xiang looked at the angry Professor Li and knew exactly what he was thinking.
Just come clean, present the facts and reason with them.
Professor Li fell silent.
What Fang Xiang said was correct.
A student who has not yet received his diploma and is still a sophomore who has not yet started school.
Even if he was a level 9 engineer, he would go to Shenfei, where there were top engineers everywhere.
Even if what Fang Xiang said was right, how many people would be willing to listen?
Professor Li himself is only involved in research and development work as an academician.
The chief designer of the project itself is someone else.
If it was Professor Li who stood up, others might give him some face because he is an academician.
What if it was Fang Xiang, a man with no beard on his face?
These people have good manners if they don't kick him out.
“How about this.
When you are not in Shuimu, I will also substitute for you.
Problems arose during the subsequent development of WP-7.
Or if you need me, just tell me. Let me handle it, is that ok with you?"
Fang Xiang looked at the silent Professor Li.
I also felt a little uneasy.
After all, WP-7 is a state-led project, and the initiative is not in Professor Li's hands.
Fang Xiang was able to participate only because Professor Li was able to participate.
By the way, I can bring Fang Xiang with me and learn the most advanced concepts and technologies.
As for whether it can play any role.
Professor Li himself probably doesn't have too high expectations.
But the problem is that Fang Xiang doesn't need to learn at all.
Moreover, such an important project must have gathered many top experts in the country.
The coordination work alone is enough to give the person in charge a headache.
It was impossible for Fang Xiang to get the right to speak.
I can only choose to come up with the right answer at the right time in the name of Professor Li.
What's more, this project of Mr. Ba.
However, it was not until the mid-80s that production officially began.
It's only 65 years now. Do I have to spend 7 years on the Shenfei Turbojet 20 project?
"It seems that you don't believe me. Then I will draw a design of the WP-7.
Take it back and discuss the feasibility with Shen Fei. And then we'll talk about it?"
Facing Professor Li who was still silent and even a little disappointed.
Fang finally realized that he had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
He would completely lose this opportunity and lose Professor Li as his guide.
Just stop pretending and come clean.
