Chapter 479 The head of the wind
Seeing the chief of armaments like this, Professor Fu was startled for a moment, then reacted and jumped up from his chair as if pressed on a spring. He then stretched his body and put his ear next to the telephone of the chief of armaments.
At this time, the military chief had obviously not recovered from the shock. He held the receiver of the phone tightly and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it reliable?"
"Reliable, I just received the process declaration instructions from Baiyun Factory, which clearly mentioned that it can be used in the manufacturing of turbine blades for jet engines."
"What craft?"
“Investment Casting!”
Hearing this, the chief of armaments and Professor Fu looked at each other and saw a hint of impatience in each other's eyes. Fortunately, the chief of armaments responded quickly and immediately replied: "You can make arrangements now.
Professor Fu and I are going to Baiyun Factory tonight."
Three days later, Baiyun Factory casting workshop.
Professor Fu held a freshly cooled turbine blade sample in one hand and held the silver-white glasses frame in the other hand. He stared at the metal product with a slightly rough surface but a unique curved beauty. His pupils were somewhat dilated due to high myopia.
He suddenly shrank, and then nodded seriously: "Yes, the turbine blades are genuine, and the quality is pretty good."
"Can it meet the requirements?" The military chief standing nearby also wore a pair of reading glasses, staring at the curved piece of metal without blinking, and asked nervously.
"this……"
Professor Fu pondered for a moment, but still said: "For specific conditions, we have to take it to a laboratory in the capital to get accurate results, but from the current appearance, the quality is still very good."
"In that case, what are you waiting for? We will return to Beijing immediately."
The resolute head of the armament made the decision without saying a word, so much so that he even ignored the efforts of Baiyun Factory and local leaders to stay. He only said hello to Bai Yi and hurriedly took Professor Fu back to the capital like a gust of wind.
The accompanying leaders all stared at each other, wondering what kind of madness this war-torn old leader had. He came in such a hurry and left so impatiently that they were all caught off guard.
The leaders were caught off guard, but the casting workshop of Baiyun Factory, which is the place where investment casting technology is researched, was extremely excited, especially Wang Xiaodong.
The core member of the research and development team of the investment casting process was even more excited. If it were not restricted by confidentiality regulations and other regulations, he would have wanted to announce this exciting feat loudly on the factory radio station every day.
You must know that that is Professor Fu, the deputy director of the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory of MIT, a senior consultant for North American aviation, and a world-class aerodynamics expert. To be recognized by him, Wang Xiaodong, a "bumpkin" who graduated from an ordinary domestic university, is really as good as
Just like a dream.
As a result, after the armament chief, Professor Fu and others left, Wang Xiaodong still felt a little light-headed, standing behind the crowd and giggling.
However, before Wang Xiaodong could laugh happily, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. When he turned around, he saw Li Zhong staring at him angrily and scolding him in a low voice: "Why are you laughing? Are you complacent after getting some grades? Accurately.
The results haven’t come out yet, and there’s no telling whether it will work or not. How dare you be so proud? I think you’re really going to go to heaven.”
"Director...I..."
Wang Xiaodong wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Li Zhong waved his hand: "Go and write an examination immediately. The content must be profound, otherwise you still want to be a second jobber. Dream on!"
Wang Xiaodong's heart felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on him. The end of his excitement was swept away in an instant. He glanced sideways at Bai Yi who was standing in front of him. Even when facing the chief and Professor Fu, he was still so calm.
.
"Director Li is right. Even the engineer who created the investment casting process is not complacent. What does my achievement mean?"
Thinking in his mind, Wang Xiaodong secretly made up his mind and walked quickly towards the workshop technical room.
Li Zhong didn't have the mind to pay attention to Wang Xiaodong's thoughts. Now he was also full of question marks, so when Wang Xiaodong left, he hurried to Bai Yi's side and asked with some uneasiness: "Bo Gong, what do you mean by the sudden change of the leader this time?"
What does research mean?"
After listening to Li Zhong's words, Bai Yi wanted to say, "You ask me, I ask who is going to go." The sudden arrival of the chief of armaments even him, a die-hard subordinate who has a good relationship with the chief, was caught off guard.
The work requirements are strict, otherwise something will happen.
As a result, Bai Yi's heart was beating wildly now, so he really wanted to get rid of Li Zhong with a sentence of "I don't know."
But when he saw Li Zhong's nervous and hopeful expression, he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips, and then comforted him with a wry smile: "Probably the jet engine in Professor Fu's hand has encountered a bottleneck.
, it just so happens that our declaration will be helpful to them..."
"real?"
Before Bai Yi could finish speaking, Li Zhong's eyes widened and his face turned red as if he had drank two kilograms of Laobaigan. Although he knew that reporting the investment casting process would cause quite a shock, no matter what
I never expected that it would alert the chief of armaments and Professor Fu, who is in charge of the jet engine project.
"I think that's 80% true. Otherwise, why would the chief of armaments, the old man, come and go in such a hurry like a convulsion?" Bai Yi nodded thoughtfully, then remembered something, and murmured with meaning: "Maybe this
One idle move can really save the whole game."
"Xianqi? What Xianqi?" Bai Yi's voice was very low. Li Zhong on the side only heard a rough idea and asked casually. But Bai Yi only had a rough plan in his mind, how could he say it?
I knew it, so I laughed aloud and brought the topic to general-purpose firearms.
…
Bai Yi was right, the armaments chief was really having a fit now.
At least that's how it seems to those who know him well.
Not long after returning to the capital, he started a nationwide search for lost-wax casting craftsmen.
As soon as this news came out, the jaws of those who knew the chief of the armaments dropped. They thought to themselves: What is going on? Let’s lead the military production. He actually started to play with antiques. This is the same man who has the revolutionary ideal.
Are the military chiefs not willing to eat chaffy vegetables?
For a time, all kinds of comments were in full swing, and some leaders who couldn't stand it even went directly to the office of the chief of armaments to question him about what he was going to do.
However, in the face of various doubts, the armaments chief still went his own way, not to mention restraining himself. In the end, he simply sent all the craftsmen he could recruit to the capital.
