NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55
The next morning at 8 o’clock. In the huge conference room of the Northern Research Institute. Looking closely, there were more than a dozen old men sitting around the table, and behind them stood their assistants or personal guards who were responsible for recording. In front of these people were two test reports.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this meeting. Since this project is of great importance, I will make it short.……”
Wang Fengnian, Director of the Sixth Materials Office, said
“The test reports on Hongqi special steel and polymer glass have all come out. You can take a look at them first. Before that, you can draw a conclusion. The composite steel plate layer of the tank’s outer armor has made a major breakthrough because of this discovery, and the future prospects can only be described as rapid progress.”
Hearing Wang Fengnian say this.
The old experts and scholars present were all shocked.
Although they had briefly learned about the news before they came, they were still very surprised when they saw it in front of them!!
You know, this group of people are all the first-tier figures in the domestic materials industry, at the level of a national academy, and have discovered many scarce materials and made great contributions to various fields of the country. It can be said that not only the army tanks and military vehicles, but also fighter jets, aircraft carriers, and even the construction of space stations, all have the participation of these people present.
Many of them are in charge of other confidential research and development projects in other countries, and only a part of them came here today.
Of course, they know how difficult it is to make a long-term breakthrough in special steel materials.
Not to mention domestically, it may not be possible abroad.
These scholars immediately picked up the test report. After a careful inspection, it looked
“It’s too exaggerated. The hardness and torsion resistance of this special steel, including its toughness, are far beyond the standard. Moreover, at the same thickness, its density and weight are lighter than the currently used tank outer armor steel plate. This is incredible from the perspective of molecular structure.”
“The data has surpassed depleted uranium alloy”
“The process used to make steel is simply amazing!!”
After watching it, all the academicians and scholars present could not hide their praise for this special steel.
At the same time, they were also very excited.
It was hard to imagine that this was actually made by a car manufacturing company?
If they had not been informed before coming, they would even suspect that it was an experimental product of other confidential research laboratories in the country!
Or it was stolen from a military research and development base abroad.
The civilian science has surpassed the military industry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the opposite of the heavenly power!
Could it be that…these people are really old?
“Everyone, don’t be too surprised. I’m notifying you to come here.……”
At this time, the old man in his seventies with white hair sitting at the head of the conference table said that he was also the person in charge of this meeting. He was the dean of the Institute of Materials, a real leader in the domestic materials industry, and was known as the”Father of Materials Alloys” in China.
In terms of seniority and origin, he could be regarded as the teacher of many scholars present.
“In addition to the special steel layer of the outer armor, the most valuable discovery this time is the polymer glass from Hongqi……”
“According to the test report, the hardness of this glass is far higher than that of current aviation special glass. Not only that, it also has extremely exaggerated high temperature and extreme cold resistance, with a heat resistance of 305°C and a cold resistance of -40°C. Its properties will not change at all under extremely harsh temperatures.”
“The most valuable thing is that this polymer glass has a light transmittance of over 99%, and can block 97% of ultraviolet rays and 91% of infrared rays. You should know what this means.……”
The scholars present.
At the beginning, they could still keep a calm face.
Because China, as a major glass manufacturing and use country, has accumulated as much as other major countries in this area, and has mastered a very wide range of special glass technology. In terms of glass hardness and use, they think they are at the world’s top level.
But when they heard that this special glass has a high and low temperature resistance of 305 degrees to -20 degrees, their faces could no longer be held.
The raw material of the integrated cockpit glass currently used to manufacture the H-20 fighter is polycarbonate, and the temperature resistance is only 140C and -20C.
It is not difficult to make the glass hard.
But to ensure that the properties of the glass do not change at extreme temperatures, and to have such excellent light transmittance and ultraviolet and infrared isolation rate, it is extremely difficult to find better special glass after screening under these harsh conditions.
As we all know.
Whether it is a space station or a fighter windshield, it is extremely important.
The windshield on the H-20 fighter is, in a sense, the heart of the aircraft engine. In order to produce a piece of cockpit glass that can withstand extreme temperatures, has a high hardness, and can shield a large amount of ultraviolet and infrared rays, the domestic expert team has spent a lot of effort, more than ten years, and hundreds of millions of dollars.
The hard work involved can be written into a book.
And now.
The glass of this car factory has actually surpassed it directly? ? ?
Looking at the horror on everyone’s face, Mr. Chen nodded and said seriously:
“That’s right. According to the test report, this will be an extremely excellent aviation glass, including but not limited to fighter jets and space stations!!”
Based on Zhou Guoan’s discovery, the Institute of Materials also conducted detailed tests on polymer glass.
But it was soon discovered that this kind of glass is simply a natural resource for use in military vehicles. In terms of properties and various parameters, it is far superior to the aviation glass currently in use!!
“Wait, this car manufacturing company uses both of these materials to build civilian cars? ?”
“Do civilian cars need to be like this?”
Some experts couldn’t hold it in any longer!
This is ridiculous!
Tank body? Fighter cockpit?
This is still a car?
“How much of this kind of glass do they have on their production line now? How much is the annual output? Our aviation research institute needs a lot of this kind of glass!!”
An old academician stood up.
He is the person in charge of the domestic aviation and fighter aircraft research and development project, known as Yuan Lao
“Mr. Yuan, the output of this company’s production line in the next year has been directly reserved by our army department. This kind of glass will be used in the next generation of main battle tanks and all-terrain armored vehicles!!”
When this question was mentioned, Zhou Guoan replied.
When Mr. Yuan heard it, he was anxious:”You should give up the glass production first, I will report to my superiors, now the Air Force Department and the Aviation Department need this kind of glass more.”
The next generation of main battle tanks is indeed very important, but in terms of level, it is not comparable to the new generation of fighter jets and space stations.
We still have to make concessions in this regard. When
Zhou Guoan heard this, he thought to himself. You Air Force and Aviation Department have taken away the good things, so what can our army do? We didn’t have a chance before, but this time they have the first-mover advantage!
“This is the general’s suggestion, but the company is currently expanding the second and third production lines. It is said that although the production process of this glass is complicated, it is not impossible to further expand production capacity.……”
