Chapter 887 The Status of Scientific Research Work
This test does not exist because there is a problem with the engine, but because the professors of the test can't help it. They want to see what the state of the engine is. They actively stop the engine running in the full afterburner state, and then checking.
The results of the inspection surprised them a little. After 3 hours of full afterburner operation, this engine theoretically has no major problems with all the structures! This all explains a little!
That is, when its structure and materials cooperate with each other, the structure of this engine is extremely stable, which is why it is so abnormal.
In short, it's like a computer at the end of the last century. When installing it, you need to prevent dust, prevent static electricity, etc., and you need to bring foot covers in the computer class.
But what about today's computers? If you don't clean the case for a few years, there will be a lot of dust inside, but your machine is still running steadily without any problems.
This is what a component's structure and material life can achieve when it has outlived environmental damage. They don't know if the Wraith's engine will be able to maintain this performance after breaking the thermal barrier, but in regular air and at regular speeds, it means that its structural and material stability has surpassed all existing engines.
After obtaining such data, these professors immediately made another decision, that is, go directly to the high-altitude test bench and then perform a destructive test, and perform a full afterburner test on the high-altitude test bench.
The conventional test results of the previous high-altitude test bench have far exceeded the data of all other domestic engines, and the good is simply outrageous.
The full afterburner test on the high-altitude test platform also made everyone extremely satisfied. In the process of simulating the high-altitude environment, its full afterburner state lasted for 3 hours. The only difference is that in 3 During the inspection process after hours, some of the materials inside were slightly deformed for the first time, and some of the states changed.
After seeing the problem with the engine, the old professors in charge were slightly relieved, because the engine without the problem is so unreal! If things go on like this, several old professors will have problems themselves and can't stand the stimulation.
While the engine test is in progress, other designs of the Phantom and various components are constantly undergoing various tests, especially the composite material, which can still be built by the state, although the cost is very high.
However, countless tests of composite materials have been carried out. The test of materials is relatively simple, and there are many ways to test the limit of various environments, but the more you test, the more you can understand the power of this material.
After knowing the strength of this composite material, China even adjusted the relevant industrial structure, mainly to strengthen the investment in the manufacturing process of this composite material, because it can be seen from this aspect that the main The research direction is composite materials.
It has to be said that some domestic systems in this regard are better than foreign ones. This system of concentrating efforts on major events can make breakthroughs in related technologies very fast.
Didn't we just use this model to catch up in the past?
The overall design of the Phantom fighter has also been completely completed. The version given by Jiang Yanhai is not complete, especially some details. These aspects are directly completed by the collective efforts of various professors, and also in the internal structure design. Re-optimized.
These designs and optimizations have been discussed and demonstrated with Jiang Yanhai, and the verification of all these has continued until the end of September.
After more than 3 months of continuous testing work, other parts of the Phantom are easy to say, including the electronic system, which can actually use the electronic system of some J20 fighter jets. After all, the J20 is not completely finalized now, and all the equipment inside has been completely updated.
In the past 3 months, the test of the engine has not stopped. A total of 10 engines have been maintained on different test rigs to maintain various tests. The funds spent in the middle are almost used in running water every day. computational.
There are 8 engines that have been damaged in 3 months, and the cost of a single engine is 12 million US dollars. The cost of 18 engines is 220 million US dollars, equivalent to about RMB 1.5 billion. This does not count the fuel that these 18 engines consume almost continuously in 3 months.
This is a terrifying figure. Although the fuel is directly calculated at the cost price, the price of this new type of mixed fuel is about 4,200 yuan per ton because there is an oil refinery purchased by Li Yunfeng himself.
In the past three months, the 18 engines have been undergoing various tests at any time, and their total test time has exceeded 13,000 hours.
Moreover, many test strengths are even several times higher than the previous test strengths, because during the test, it is found that if the test is performed according to the previous standard, it will be meaningless and will not get its limit, so it begins to increase its test. strength.
In three months, the engine test, other parts of the phantom test, etc., a total consumption of nearly 3 billion RMB! This means that Li Yunfeng paid the bill without any hesitation, otherwise, these small research countries would not be able to play at all!
This is still the case when Jiang Yanhai has provided almost all the drawings, and the necessary tests alone will cost money. If there is no tens of billions of funds for research and development from beginning to end, it is impossible to develop it.
After all, it cost 10 billion yuan to develop an assembled car with more than 90% of the components purchased from other foreign auto companies. Where do you go to make sense?
In this comparison, the price is really too low.
At the end of September, Jiang Yanhai turned 21 and turned 22, but his birthday has not passed, and Li Ruobai has no time recently.
Li Ruobai has also joined forces with these electronics research institutes to carry out the last step of research. The reason for the research is that at this moment, Jiang Yanhai and Li Ruobai are in front of this fighter jet!
A Phantom fighter in the original color of the material and undergoing final assembly!
That's right, the Phantom has been created! The speed was much faster than Jiang Yanhai thought! The main structural materials, including the engine test, have been completed. The engine test of more than 10,000 hours has exceeded too many standards, especially the strength of many of the tests here is too abnormal.
The reason why I chose to build it at this time is because this year is quite special. It is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. There will be a military parade at that time. Now I choose to build it as a gift for the National Day!
Of course, for things like the military parade, Jiang Yanhai and the others don't even think about it, it's impossible, they just have to take a look inside the base.
In such a scene, every soldier wants to go, but they all know that they have more important tasks.
Another important impact of the production of the Phantom is that both Jiang Yanhai and Li Ruobai can stand in front of this stealth fighter at the moment.
