Chapter 180 A Little Thing About Liu Ranran

Inside the Liming Factory, the situation is indeed as Eisen thought. The batch of high-end titanium alloys for aviation from Baoti Group has long been put into storage and part of it has been used.

However, there were some facts that were different from what he thought.

That is, this batch of titanium alloys has not actually entered the finals at all, and will not be used in new engines.

The strength and heat resistance of ceramic-based phosphor-reinforced composite materials have passed the test. Based on this condition, Ye Zhou did not hesitate to ask the project team to overturn the original plan and start over again, replacing all key thermal components with this type of material. Material.

As for titanium alloy?

Come on, the processing is difficult, the precision is low, and the yield rate is also low. Instead of spending a lot of energy on improving the technology and process, it is better to use new materials.

Although using new materials is almost equivalent to starting over from scratch, similar to Ye Zhou's usual style, this new material has ultra-high robustness.

There is no need to precisely control the processing accuracy and process. As long as it can be made, it is basically usable.

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 a pulling force of more than 7 tons and a high temperature of more than 1,400 degrees. To achieve this goal, titanium alloy requires many harsh conditions during the processing process.

But when it comes to new materials, this situation does not exist.

It can withstand a maximum tensile force of more than 12 tons and a high temperature of more than 2,000 degrees. Even if various problems occur during the processing, 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 material is the extremely prominent long board. Even if this long board is accidentally cut off due to various negligences, it can still be compared with other The parts fit together nicely.

Ye Zhou walked around the factory as usual. The last workshop he passed was the workshop where Liu Ranran was responsible for manufacturing fan blades. The new materials had been applied and everything tested normal, so he didn't say anything more. After asking a few questions about the progress, he planned to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Ranran took the initiative to find him.

"Ye Gong! Do you have time now?"

Ye Zhou looked at Liu Ranran doubtfully and asked:

"I have time, what can I do?"

"Well, there is something I want to discuss with you. That is, I have been working on a project here for three months, and I have accumulated some things, mainly about the creep model of various areas of the fan blade with different material ratios. I want to write a paper and publish it on the impact on this aspect, but it will involve results related to you, so I just want to ask for your opinion."

Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard Liu Ranran's words.

After all, she is still a pure scientific researcher. After all, she is not skilled in interpersonal communication. She wants to be polite, but she has not developed that instinct.

It sounds funny and a bit amusing.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhou replied:

"You can write it, but it's best not to involve me. The new material can only be declassified after the project is completely completed."

"I know, I know! But Ye Gong, if your name is not added, I feel like this result is related to you after all, right? According to the normal process, you should be listed as an important contributor."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"It doesn't matter. What you want to publish is not a material achievement, it's just the use of the new material platform. I don't have much contribution, so don't worry too much. In addition, I really don't have a way to sign the paper, you know. , there is a confidentiality requirement.”

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Liu Ranran opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After hesitating for a moment, she said:

"Why don't I stop posting it?"

"Why don't you send it? It really doesn't matter! If you really want to thank me, just work overtime and make the fan blades earlier."

Ye Zhou replied dumbfounded.

But the moment he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

Damn it, I became a capitalist.

Fortunately, Liu Ranran didn't react much to this. He just nodded firmly and replied:

"Well! Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we will definitely work overtime and make sure the progress exceeds that of other workshops!"

"That's not necessary. The fan blade is a key component. You'd better experiment a few more times to ensure reliability."

"Okay, okay! Don't worry!"

"Just say 'you'. I've seen your resume. We are the same age. It feels awkward to call you."

After saying that, Ye Zhou left the workshop regardless of Liu Ranran's reaction.

In fact, he didn't feel anything wrong with Liu Ranran's request.

He really doesn't care much about the false reputation of this kind of scientific research results. What's the use to him?

Leave opportunities to those who need them.

It was exactly 12 o'clock. Instead of returning to the office, he walked straight towards the canteen.

The cafeteria opens at 12:05, and every time he is the first to arrive and finish the meal. This is not because of any inefficiency, but simply because he feels that people who are not even active in eating will be mentally challenged. have some problem.

In order to avoid safety and health problems caused by Ye Zhou's diet, Chen Hao had assigned a chef to cook for him separately, and the ingredients used were purchased separately. Ye Zhou had no objection to this.

No matter how cautious you are about your own safety, you can't be too cautious, because being responsible for your own safety means being responsible for the safety of the whole.

However, he will still eat in the canteen, mainly because it is not only a place to eat, but also a place where he can have less official communication with people in need. For example, sometimes he will ask some engineers from the core workshop to sit Eat together, chat about recent issues, and learn about their trends so that we can adjust follow-up work arrangements in a timely manner.

Chen Hao was very satisfied with this.

He thinks this is a good way of working - although sometimes it is awkward to chat and feels useless, some problems can indeed be discovered.

He once told Ye Zhou that what he wanted was not a pure technician, but an all-rounder who could not only provide technology but also control the project from an overall 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 actually 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, where everyone is selfless and dedicated to the ultimate goal, various disagreements will inevitably arise during the process, and even Ye Zhou will have conflicts with the project manager. At that point, where should the project go?

Therefore, the only answer is that Ye Zhou must be the controller himself.

Not only in technology, but also in project management with absolute authority.

You can't 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 walked into the cafeteria as the protagonist of today's awkward chat, but before he could choose the target, a fiery figure appeared. She ran up to him carrying a dinner plate.

"Ye Gong, can I treat you to lunch?"

The visitor was none other than Liu Ranran. She looked at Ye Zhou expectantly, waiting for his answer.

This was the only way she could think of to repay Ye Zhou a little.

Now that the project is in a closed phase, and we can’t go out, eating in the canteen is considered a meal, right?

Ye Zhou looked at Liu Ranran funny, motioned for her to sit down, and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, is it possible that the food in our canteen is free?"
