Chapter 901 The Dawn of T1500, Crushing the Opponent

Zhao Tianling agreed to Cao Yang's request.

This was also something Cao Yang expected.

However, Cao Yang also knew that if he made a direct request, the other party would be more or less unhappy.

In response to this situation, Cao Yang naturally had a trick.

"Mr. Zhao, AVIC should be promoting many new projects such as fighter jets and bombers."

"In addition to the ultra-high-end carbon fiber composite materials such as T1100 and T1200 that Nanshan Carbon Fiber has already started mass production, the T1500 carbon fiber material we are currently developing has also made significant breakthroughs."

"Now various confirmations have been completed in the laboratory state, and various preparations are being made for industrialization."

Cao Yang lightly threw out a heavy news, which immediately attracted Zhao Tianling's interest.

T1500 carbon fiber!

This was something he had never dared to think about before.

"The production difficulty of T1500 carbon fiber is very high. Have you solved all the problems?"

As the general manager of AVIC, Zhao Tianling is also familiar with the situation of carbon fiber composite materials used in large quantities in the aerospace industry.

Equipment running on the ground is not so sensitive to weight.

But things flying in the sky are completely different.

Especially for military equipment, every kilogram of weight reduction is very valuable.

The higher the grade of carbon fiber material, the better the weight reduction effect and the higher the strength.

This is definitely a material that all aerospace companies are looking forward to.

In the past, China's aviation industry was relatively backward, and the relatively weak technology in composite materials was also an important reason.

Since the emergence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, this situation has changed rapidly.

Now the fifth-generation fighters that are about to be mass-produced have already used a large number of Nanshan Carbon Fiber T800 composite materials.

Later, the use of T1100 and T1200 composite materials will be increased.

Now I didn't expect that T1500 carbon fiber is coming again.

This makes AVIC so happy.

"It is definitely not completely solved, but the main problems have been solved."

"Specialized production equipment is also being researched and produced, and there is no big problem in mass production this year."

"But it may take until next year to really improve it to be used on airplanes."

Cao Yang said with a slightly regretful tone, but for Zhao Tianling, this result is not only not regrettable at all, but very exciting.

Many materials can be studied in the laboratory, and the threshold is much lower.

But the difficulty of entering large-scale industrial production from the laboratory state is very huge.

It is normal that many materials take ten or eight years to mass produce, or even cannot be mass produced at all.

T1500 carbon fiber has only completed various laboratory confirmations this year, and it will be mass-produced next year, which is already a very ideal speed.

"Mr. Cao, I will take several heads of confidential projects to Nanshan Carbon Fiber for a while. If this T1500 carbon fiber can be used in our new products, it will have a huge impact on improving the combat effectiveness of related products."

For an aircraft, the weight of the fuselage accounts for the largest proportion of all weights.

If the weight of the fuselage can be greatly reduced, the weight reduction effect will be absolutely ideal.

In this way, the cruising range of some aircraft can be improved by one level, or the bomb load can be increased by one level without changing the cruising range.

No matter which effect it is, it is very important.

"You are welcome at any time!"

"Not only can it be used in your current project, but the large stealth bomber we cooperate on can also fully use T1100, T1200 and T1500 carbon fiber composite materials."

"By then, even if the size of our model is not much different from that of the B-2, the bomb load can be increased a lot."

Although the American B-2 bomber is very advanced, it is a product of decades ago after all.

It was the world's number one at that time, and it is still the world's number one now.

However, the use of some high-end carbon fiber composite materials above is definitely completely different from the latest research models now.

At that time, let alone T1500, there was not even T1100.

Even T300 carbon fiber composite materials were already the world's leading when B-2 was just started to be produced.

Unless the Americans start over, the performance of B-2 is destined to be much worse than the new products jointly developed by Venusstar Technology and AVIC.

The latecomer advantage is fully demonstrated at this time.

Similarly, there are similar situations in some projects that AVIC is developing.

For example, the fifth-generation fighter jets such as the J-20 use a lot of the latest high technology, and their overall performance is definitely better than that of the F-35. Even compared with the F-22, some performance can be surpassed.

After continuous technological iterations in the future, it is not impossible to become the world's most advanced fighter jet.

"We have given this project a name internally, called the H-20, just like another product we have just finalized, both use the number 20."

"If the H-20 really uses a lot of high-end carbon fiber composite materials such as T1500 as you said, and the bomb load and cruising range are greatly improved, it will definitely be very meaningful for improving the combat effectiveness of our relevant departments."

As a project with the closest cooperation between AVIC and Venusstar Technology, Zhao Tianling must be very concerned about the H-20 project.

Although the leadership of this project was handed over to Venusstar Technology, Zhao Tianling's attention to it has never decreased.

You must know that this bomber is a product that the relevant departments attach great importance to, and it is an important guarantee for the extension of China's air force.

For example, when something happens to the polar bears, their "White Swan" flies out for a circle, and the effect is more convincing than anything else.

By then, the effect of China's H-20 should not be worse.

The most important thing is the stealth performance of this product, which may be the most advanced in the world by then.

Many other countries can't detect it at all.

For example, if something happens one day, this aircraft will directly turn around in the east, or fly around in the southern sea area, and then "accidentally" let you take a photo or something, which must be very interesting.

If the radar can't detect it, it means that it can attack you at any time.

The key is this strategic bomber, which carries "Little Boy".

Its symbolic significance is very huge.

Look at the United States. Although they only have a dozen B-2s that can still fly normally, the strategic deterrence effect is very huge.

"H-20?"

"This code name is good."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. The bomber we jointly launched will definitely be the most advanced in the world."

"When the time comes, whether it is the use of carbon fiber composite materials, stealth performance, or engine power performance, it will not be worse than any opponent."

"The old B-2 has always boasted that it is the most advanced and technologically advanced stealth strategic bomber in the world. When our H-20 comes out, let them stand aside."

In the previous life, without the participation of Venus Technology, the performance of the H-20 was also very advanced.

Now with Venus Technology, the performance of all aspects is naturally more different.

Cao Yang has full confidence that it will become a product that amazes the world and hits everyone's soul.

A powerful "Nanshan Consortium" must need a strong country to support it in order to develop steadily.

Otherwise, the various suppressions of the United States can teach you a lesson in minutes.

Just imagine, if a company like Venustech appeared in Japan or Korea, if America wanted to suppress it, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

After being slapped on the left cheek, you might have to obediently turn your right cheek to be slapped.

This is the price of being a son.

"Mr. Cao, I feel relieved when you say this."

"There has always been a saying on the Internet, called 'Nanshan products must be fine products'."

"I believe this time is no exception."

Zhao Tianling couldn't help but flatter Cao Yang.

If the H-20 can be launched ahead of schedule and its performance is still so excellent, the credit from AVIC is naturally indispensable.

The most important thing is that such a product is indeed of extraordinary significance to China.

Zhao Tianling is a person with the kind of patriotism. Even if this project is led by Venustech, he hopes that the development of the project will be very good.

…

As AVIC learned about the progress of Nanshan Carbon Fiber T1500, Aerospace Science and Technology was no exception and soon learned about this huge breakthrough.

For them, the use of new technologies on some products is more bold.

For example, if AVIC wants to use the same T1200 carbon fiber composite material on an aircraft, it needs to verify various materials before slowly considering carrying it.

However, on the Aerospace Science and Technology side, a certain type of missile has been mass-produced and used.

The concept of using new technology on an aircraft and on a missile is quite different.

The impact on safety performance is also completely different.

After all, one is for passengers, and the other is not.

Even in order to pursue the ultimate performance, missiles dare to try many subversive technologies.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that you are cooperating with AVIC on a big project. Are you interested in doing a project with our Aerospace Technology?"

Qian Junfeng learned that Nanshan Carbon Fiber had developed T1500 carbon fiber, and then learned that the project leadership of the H-20 was handed over to Venusstar Technology. He personally flew from the imperial capital to Guangzhou to discuss a special cooperation with Cao Yang.

Although Aerospace Technology is mainly responsible for aerospace content, many of its products are also closely related to military industry.

This time Qian Junfeng just wants to cooperate with Cao Yang in this regard.

"What big project is Mr. Qian going to do?"

In recent years, China has invested more in the field of aerospace.

One big project after another has been launched, so if Qian Junfeng said that there is a new project being launched now, Cao Yang would not find it strange at all.

"It's not a new project. It's the hypersonic missile we've been working on before. We want to work with Venusstar Technology to see if we can produce the fastest missile in the world."

"As long as the speed is fast enough, even if others can find it, they can't intercept it."

"We already have some products, but they haven't fully met our expectations."

Since we're going to talk about the project, we must introduce some relevant information.

Given Cao Yang's status in China, it's obviously no problem to communicate with him if the information is not too exaggerated.

After all, the Nanshan companies themselves have a lot of secrets.

"Hypersonic missile?"

"This is really worth working on."

Cao Yang didn't hold it in there. After listening to Qian Junfeng's words, he directly expressed his interest in this project.

There are good aircraft and good missiles to fully exert their power.

Otherwise, it would be a pity to have a good platform but no good weapons.

A tiger without teeth is meaningless no matter how exaggerated it looks.

"Air-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-ship, ground-to-air, ground-to-ground, if this model of product is officially finalized, and there are supersonic models on various types of missiles, the deterrence will definitely increase dramatically."

Seeing Cao Yang's interest in letting Venustech participate, Qian Junfeng became more enthusiastic.

Venustech's rocket technology is so good that it has an advantage in developing large missiles.

But their micro missiles are also very good. If they are combined, they are simply the best partner for aerospace technology.

It is impossible to find any more suitable choice than Venustech in China.

Especially now that Venustech's brother company Nanshan Carbon Fiber's T1500 carbon fiber is about to be launched.

Everything in the future is full of expectations.

"Different types of missiles need to consider very different things. Should we focus on the development of air-to-ship and ground-to-ship hypersonic missiles first?"

Cao Yang naturally hopes that China can lead the world in missile technology in all aspects, but human and material resources are relatively limited.

If we roll out all of them, it will definitely affect the progress of the project.

It is better to focus on one or two products first, let people outside see the deterrence of China, and then consider the development of various products in an all-round way.

Qian Junfeng can understand this.

Soon, the two bosses reached a general cooperation.

Although this project may not make a lot of money and there is no way to sell it to the outside world, Cao Yang still attaches great importance to it and arranges a special team for Zhao Siyu to connect with it.

Just after the relevant information of T1500 spread in a small range in China, a paper published in Nature magazine made T1500 famous all over the world.

Ordinary people don’t know what the significance of T1500 is, but people in the carbon fiber industry and related fields such as aerospace are too clear about the significance behind this breakthrough in material technology.

With the publication of this paper, the three words JIANYING ZENG are also completely famous in the industry.

"Thomas, Nanshan Carbon Fiber has made a breakthrough in T1500 carbon fiber technology, but you haven't even brought out T1200."

"Is it possible to find a technological breakthrough through this paper?"

As the main customer of Hershey in the United States, Boeing is naturally very concerned about the development of carbon fiber materials.

In the past, although Hershey's carbon fiber technology was not the best in the world, it was on par with Toray.

Especially in the field of military carbon fiber composite materials, it is even more unique.

But after the emergence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, this situation began to change rapidly.

Now it is completely different from the original scene.

David knew that many aerospace products in China have begun to use T1200 carbon fiber, but Hertz has not even developed such a product, let alone let Boeing use it.

The most troublesome thing is that now they have gone a step further and developed the high-end product T1500.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger.

"I have specially arranged special personnel to study the paper in Nature."

"Although there are some performance data and processing methods of T1500 carbon fiber, those methods are some general methods, hiding some key parameters and settings."

"In this case, it is difficult for us to make any special progress simply by studying the paper."

Thomas's statement made David feel cold.

No reference?

Doesn't that mean that Boeing will have to wait a long time before using higher-level carbon fiber composite materials?

Boeing can wait, but his opponents won't.

"Relying on the industry-leading carbon fiber composite materials and other technologies, Venustech's development speed in the aerospace field is very exaggerated."

"If we can't catch up with the other party in carbon fiber composite materials and let them completely lead, then it will be very troublesome for us to catch up again."

"Look at Venustech's Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter. Why is the appearance and size of all aspects similar to our CH-47, but the load capacity and other performances are better?"

"One of the most important factors is the use of large-scale high-end carbon fiber composite materials."

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber has played a very different trick in this regard."

"This impact is very huge."

David frowned and said.

Although Boeing's overall technical level is still in the leading position in the industry, it is not afraid of competition from Venustech.

But if this trend continues, David will not have this confidence in a few years.

This situation is definitely not what he wants to see.

This is even something that will have a huge impact on the entire United States.

Of course, Thomas will definitely not take such a big pot.

"Although the various properties of T1500 carbon fiber are very outstanding, I think that developing it in the laboratory and entering large-scale industrial production are two different concepts."

"According to the analysis of our technical team, Nanshan Carbon Fiber is unlikely to put T1500 into industrial production in the next three years."

"Even their T1200 carbon fiber should be used in a very small range now, and the threat it brings to us is very small."

"We will develop carbon fiber products similar to T1200 within the next year at the latest, and put them into large-scale production in the next three years."

"By then, T1200 can fully meet the various needs of the aerospace field."

"What we need to do more is how to consider how to fully utilize the various properties of T1200 carbon fiber."

Thomas' statement is naturally not without reason.

After all, high-end carbon fiber is not only very expensive, but also cannot be used on a large scale on aircraft.

The key is that if the performance of others is good in some aspects, there will definitely be some performance declines.

This will also affect its application on some parts.

David understands this truth, but cannot accept it.

"Thomas, we at Boeing have been using Hershey's carbon fiber composite materials."

"But in fact, if we want to buy carbon fiber materials from other manufacturers, it is not very difficult."

"Even similar products produced by Nanshan Carbon Fiber in China can actually be bought on the black market."

"Our joint venture factory with AVIC in China has been asked to consider using Nanshan Carbon Fiber materials."

"If you can't keep up with the pace of industry development, it will be difficult for us to help you all the time."

When it comes to exerting pressure, David will not be soft at all.

If this pressure is not passed on, it will cause the pressure to remain here at Boeing.

Besides, he thinks what he said is not wrong.

If Nanshan Carbon Fiber is not a Chinese company, then Boeing has definitely purchased T1200 carbon fiber composite materials from the other party and has begun to consider using it in some products.

It just happens that this is the brother company of its main overseas competitor.

Boeing has always been thinking about how to suppress them.

So it will not easily use the other party's materials and parts.

Of course, when he communicated with Thomas, he would definitely not express this meaning.

Even if Thomas could guess this meaning, he would not admit it.

"David, the development of Nanshan Carbon Fiber has threatened the interests of all walks of life in America."

"The military industry is an industry in which we have a great advantage internationally, and we cannot afford to lose it."

"I think we can ask the relevant departments to come forward and see how to suppress Nanshan Carbon Fiber?"

Hearing David speak to him in such an impolite tone, Thomas also felt the pressure.

However, David was very unhappy when he heard him say this, and said: "Suppression! Suppression again! Haven't we used this trick of suppression before?"

"But in the end it didn't work, but made our opponents stronger."

"If we can find any effective method, we don't need to worry about it now."

After David said this, Thomas didn't know how to respond.

It seems that his idea of ​​asking Boeing for help is going to be shattered.

But passively waiting is definitely not an option.

It can be said that a paper from Nanshan Carbon Fiber has kept many people awake at night.
