Chapter 181: A Little Thing About Liu Ranran
Inside the Dawn Factory, the situation is indeed as Aisen thought. The batch of high-end titanium alloys for aviation from Baoti Group have been in stock and have been used in part.
However, there are some facts that are different from what he thought.
That is, this batch of titanium alloys has not entered the finals at all and will not be used on new engines.
The strength and heat resistance of ceramic-based fluorescent iron-enhanced composite materials have passed the inspection. Based on this condition, Ye Zhou did not hesitate to ask the project team to overturn the original plan and start all over again and replace all the key thermal components with this type of material.
As for titanium alloy?
Let’s take it down. The processing is difficult, the accuracy is low, and the yield rate is also low. Instead of spending a lot of energy to work hard to improve the process and process, it is better to use new materials.
Although using new materials is almost equivalent to starting over, similar to Ye Zhou's usual style, this new material is extremely robust.
There is no need to accurately control the processing accuracy and process, as long as it can be made, it is basically available.
Because the upper limit of new materials is too high.
According to the original design, each ge-9x turbine fan blade must be able to withstand tensile forces of more than 7 tons and high temperatures of more than 1,400 degrees. To achieve this goal, titanium alloy requires many harsh conditions during processing.
But when it comes to new materials, this situation does not exist.
It can withstand tensions of up to 12 tons and high temperatures of over 2,000 degrees. Even if various problems arise during the processing process, resulting in a significant reduction in its performance, it can still meet the most basic requirements.
After all, the overall design of the entire aircraft engine has not changed. In this aircraft engine, the materials are extremely prominent long boards. Even if this long board is accidentally cut off due to various negligence, it can still cooperate well with other parts.
Ye Zhou inspected the factory as usual. The last workshop he passed was the workshop where Liu Ranran was responsible for the production of fan blades. The new materials had been applied and everything was normal for the test. So he didn't say much, but just asked a few questions and planned to leave.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Ranran actually found him on his own initiative.
"Mr. Ye! Do you have time now?"
Ye Zhou looked at Liu Ranran in confusion and asked:
"If you have time, is there anything?"
"Uh... I just want to discuss something with you. That is, I have been working on a project here for three months and then accumulated some things, mainly about the impact of different material ratios on the creep model in various regions of the fan blade. I want to write a paper to publish it, but it will involve results related to you, so I want to ask your opinions."
When Ye Zhou heard Liu Ranran’s words for a while, he couldn’t help but feel a little funny.
After all, she is still a pure scientific scholar. After all, she is not skilled in interpersonal communication and wants to be more polite, but she has not formed that instinct.
It sounds funny and somewhat funny.
After pondering for a while, Ye Zhou replied:
"It is possible to write, but it is best not to get me involved. The part about the new material must be decrypted until the project is completely completed."
"I know, I know! But if you don't add your name, I feel like... this result is related to you after all, right? According to the normal process, you should be interested in important contributors."
Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:
"It doesn't matter. What you want to publish is not the material achievements, but just using the new material platform. I have not made much contributions, so don't care too much. In addition, I really can't sign the paper. You know, there are confidentiality requirements."
Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Liu Ranran opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
After hesitating for a moment, she spoke:
"Or...I'd better stop posting, right?"
"Why don't you post? It's really okay! If you really want to thank me, work overtime and make the fan blades early."
Ye Zhou replied laughing and crying.
But at the moment he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.
I've been killed, I've become a capitalist.
Fortunately, Liu Ranran did not respond much to this, but just nodded firmly and replied:
"Well! Master Ye, don't worry, we will definitely work overtime to ensure that the progress exceeds that of other workshops!"
"There is no need... The fan blade is a key component. You should experiment a few more times to ensure reliability is the first priority."
"Okay! Don't worry!"
"Just say 'you'. I've read your resume. We are the same age as you, so you're so awkward..."
After saying that, Ye Zhou left the workshop without caring about Liu Ranran's reaction.
In fact, he did not feel anything wrong with Liu Ranran's request.
He really doesn't care much about this kind of false reputation in scientific research results. What's the use of him?
He has entered the circle of the highest decision-making level, and has even been fixed as an anchor in major projects related to the country's destiny. Why are he doing these things?
Leave the opportunity to those in need.
It was exactly 12 o'clock when he walked back to the office, but walked straight towards the canteen.
The dining time of the canteen is 12:05. Every time he is the first to arrive and finish the meal. It is not for the sake of efficiency or inefficiency. It is purely because people who are not even active in eating have some problems with their minds.
In order to avoid the safety and health problems caused by Ye Zhou due to his diet, Chen Hao had assigned him a chef to cook separately and the ingredients he used were purchased separately. Ye Zhou had no objection to this.
No matter how cautious you are, you cannot be an exaggeration, because being responsible for your own safety is to be responsible for the security of the entire China.
However, he still eats in the cafeteria, mainly because it is not only a place for eating, but also a place where people who need it can communicate less officially. For example, sometimes he will find some engineers from the core workshop to sit together to eat, talk about recent issues, understand their trends, and adjust their subsequent work arrangements in a timely manner.
Chen Hao was very satisfied with this.
He thinks this is a good way to work - although sometimes it's awkward to chat and it doesn't feel useful, he can indeed find some problems.
He once told Ye Zhou that what he wanted was not a pure technician, but an all-rounder who could provide technology and control projects from a global perspective.
As the Nantianmen project gradually took shape, Chen Hao also realized a major problem. Among so many projects, if Ye Zhou only acted as a technical consultant, it would be detrimental to the progress of the project.
Now I can provide him with various resources unconditionally and fully support all his ideas, but what if the person in charge of the next project is not me? What should Ye Zhou do?
Even in the most perfect situation, everyone has no selfishness and everyone makes selfless contributions for the ultimate goal, but various differences will surely arise in the process, and even Ye Zhou will have conflicts with the project manager. At that time, where should the project go?
So, the only answer is that Ye Zhou must be the controller himself.
It must not only have absolute authority in technology, but also in project management.
You cannot just be a symbol representing technology, but must be a real cornerstone for the project to continue.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou raised his head and looked around, preparing to choose one of the familiar faces that had gradually entered the cafeteria, as the protagonist of today's awkward chat, but before he could choose a target, a storm figure ran to him with a plate.
"Mr. Ye, will I treat you to lunch?"
The person coming was Liu Ranran. She looked at Ye Zhou with anticipation, waiting for his answer.
This was the only way she could think of to repay Ye Zhou a little.
It is now the closed stage of the project and I can't go out. Having a meal in the cafeteria is a meal, right?
Ye Zhou looked at Liu Ranran with some amusement, signaled her to sit down, and said:
Chapter completed!
