Peng Engui, motivated and determined, led his team in R&D to prove that, at least in the field of high-end alloy materials, he was the authoritative top expert.
This was also the best way to regain face.
Peng Engui held a eting with his team and cried out forcefully several tis; he seed to rediscover the feeling of his youth, filled with a spirit of striving against imnse odds.
He played a leading role.
The next morning, Peng Engui went to the data laboratory and took over the work left by Li Rongmao, beginning to continuously organize experintal data. In the morning, he also went to the R&D group to discuss problems with others.
Throughout the day, the team was engaged in organizing data and conducting arguntative discussions.
In the R&D of alloy materials, arguntation is most important.
The purpose of arguntation is to find "a thod that might yield results," and then to experint with it; regardless of failure or success, it’s necessary to organize data from the experintal process to support the next round of arguntation.
This process is like facing countless crossroads, where one must continuously make choices. The initial choice is very important, and subsequent choices will determine how far one can go. The purpose of arguntation is to select all the crossroads to be taken, walk straight through them, and after reaching the endpoint, see just how far one has gone.
If one can find the optimal solution in arguntation, then, obviously, results may continuously erge.
But it’s almost impossible.
In the developnt of alloy materials, arguntation is indeed very important, but it’s also very difficult, and it’s almost impossible to find the "optimal solution" solely through arguntation; one must continuously experint and re-experint.
During this continuous experintation, a large amount of funding is spent.
Therefore, research in alloy materials is very costly, but with sufficient financial support, one can continuously experint with new thods, potentially spending money to achieve the desired results.
It’s still a matter of probability.
Peng Engui hoped that "luck" would be on his side, and he was willing to put in the effort regardless of the hardship.
At the sa ti.
After over a week of preparation, Factory 307 finally anded the minor issues in the manufacturing process suggested by Zhao Yi. They even shut down a high-temperature furnace and the equipnt of an entire workshop, all for He Guilin’s team to conduct their experint.
This showed just how seriously Factory 307 took Zhao Yi’s suggestions.
He Guilin led his team to revise the manufacturing process for the K03A; after more than a week of work, the preparations were just sufficient to carry out a manufacturing experint.
Finally, the experint began.
The pre-modification raw materials were taken, and the manufacturing resud from the modified step. Technicians and workers ca to operate one by one; machines started running, and many others were there to take notes.
He Guilin was in the operation room the entire ti, following the progress of the experint, with high expectations for the final results.
Two days went by.
The production of K03A requires at least three days, and starting from the midway point took nearly two days. The experint’s operation room worked overti, operating around the clock, until finally a sample was produced.
Once the finished product cooled down, its performance was tested. Many people went to the testing site to watch, even the leaders of Factory 307 and directors in charge of other projects gathered to see.
This was a significant event.
K03A was one of the proud achievents of Factory 307, yet for nearly ten years, there had been no further improvents; it seed on the verge of being replaced by other alloy materials, and the people of Factory 307 were reluctant to let this happen.
So many people who were aware of the situation were paying attention to He Guilin’s R&D group’s experint.
Eventually.
The first test data ca out.
"It surpassed 1350!"
"Over 1400 already!"
"Surpassed it?"
"Definitely surpassed it, I saw it from afar. Wait a bit, ask that operator!"
The operator, knowing everyone’s eagerness, soon walked over from the distance and shouted, "Around 1430 degrees!"
As he ca closer, he said, "Between 1420 and 1440 degrees, it takes many tests to get an accurate result, but it definitely exceeded 1430 degrees!"
"Whoosh!"
The crowd imdiately erupted.
Among them, He Guilin’s voice was the loudest. Filled with excitent, he shouted, "Over 1400? Really surpassed it?"
"1420? Even 1420 is good enough!"
"Does this number match Country E’s? Catching up with the international standard! Our K03A can also reach the international level!"
"Haha..."
Many couldn’t help but get excited.
The high-temperature resistance of turbine blade alloy materials is very important; it can directly determine the maximum power of a turbine engine. While there’s no exact nurical standard for the international advanced level, ssages released by various foreign companies also give a rough idea.
degrees Celsius is a dividing line!
Below 1400 degrees is a very ordinary standard; many companies’ nickel alloys are developed to withstand temperatures between 1200 and 1400 degrees. However, surpassing 1400 degrees ans ’advanced standard,’ and only the top international manufacturers are able to produce nickel alloys with lting points over 1400 degrees.
Factory 307 could claim, regarding the manufacturing technology of nickel alloys, that they had reached the ’international advanced’ level.
...
He Guilin’s R&D group manufactured a second batch of K03A and conducted a two-day-long test to obtain accurate data, which they released internally in a confidential manner.
The confidential release was accessible only to superiors, relevant R&D groups, and the military-industrial departnts.
Results related to national defense and military-industrial affairs are first released internally in a confidential manner. Only after approval from the superiors do they release news externally, and the information made public is usually edited and abridged.
