Chapter 2344 High Temperature Resistant Coating

in the workshop.

Yang Xiaotao stood aside, while Li Hongfeng, Han Sanfeng, Liu Daming, Chen Chonghan and others stood together, chatting while waiting for the experiment not far away to proceed.

On the other side, Wu Zhe was assigning tasks to An Zhongsheng. Around them, workshop director Shao Guangping was also assigning tasks to the workshop workers.

"This time Yang Bu is here in person, we have to perform well and not make a fool of ourselves later."

The workers in charge of the operation nodded quickly. They were all veterans of the workshop. This time, the workshop did not move out independently, but stayed in the headquarters. Naturally, they were the first to get the upper hand.

Besides, following Yang Bu, why worry about no benefits?

"Director, don't worry. If we don't do a good job, don't say anything. Just deduct our salary."

One of them patted his chest and made the promise.

These days workers rely entirely on their wages to support their families.

If the salary is deducted, the family will have to live in poverty and there will be conflicts in the family.

The workers dare to say this because they have the confidence.

However, Shao Guangping did not accept this, because he knew that what Yang Bu hated most was deducting money, and if he really committed a crime, deducting money would not be a big deal.

But if the money is deducted for no reason and Ministry of Personnel finds out, my impression of him will drop significantly.

So Shao Guangping just waved his hand and said, "No need to punish me. If I can't beat you, I'll lose face. I'll lose face in front of Yang's army."

Shao Guangping spoke lightly, but the others felt even more heavy-hearted after hearing it.

Might as well give some money.

Shao Guangping was giving instructions to a few workers when Wu Zhe came up to them and spoke.

"Director Shao, there's no problem here, we can start."

"Okay, we're ready too."

After Shao Guangping finished speaking, Wu Zhe nodded and walked up to Yang Xiaotao to explain the situation.

"Then let's get started!"

"Yes!"

Wu Zhe turned and nodded to An Zhongsheng who was waiting, and then a light blue steel plate the size of an arm was placed into the high-temperature reactor.

After a while, the temperature in the laboratory increased, and the temperature in the high-temperature reactor increased little by little.

"Yang Department!"

Wu Zhe came over and waited for the experimental results with everyone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Hongfeng pulled him aside and asked him about it.

Many people present knew something about Yang Xiaotao's plan.

But he knew nothing about these, especially the professional knowledge, he lacked a lot and was a little confused about this experiment.

"Xiao Wu, I have some questions to ask you."

Li Hongfeng asked and Wu Zhe nodded immediately. The deepest impression this first secretary gave him was his hard-working, simple and pragmatic work style.

After arriving at the Ninth Department, he rectified the discipline issues. The previous impetuous atmosphere was swept away, making the Ninth Department full of vitality again.

"Secretary Li, please go ahead."

"Ahem, it's like this, I don't know much about this area of ​​academics, and I'm afraid if my superiors ask me about it, I won't know how to answer."

"I just want to know, when this silicon was first manufactured, it was subjected to temperatures of thousands of degrees. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be just right for use?"

In literary language, Wu Zhe smiled and then explained, "Secretary Li, this high-purity silicon is different from the paint on the aircraft."

"High-purity silicon can withstand temperatures of up to a thousand degrees. However, when it is made into a coating, other substances are added to it, which will affect the high-temperature resistance of high-purity silicon. We need to find out the limit of this influence and the required proportion."

"It's possible that only half the ratio is needed to achieve the experimental effect, or even a very small amount."

"You also know how precious this high-purity silicon is. We have been accumulating it for so many days, but there is not much left. The Yang Department values ​​these very much."

After hearing what Wu Zhe said, Li Hongfeng immediately understood.

"That's it."

"What are you two whispering about?"

At this time, Yang Xiaotao came over. The two of them smiled when they heard the noise. Li Hongfeng even smiled and said, "Nothing, just some common questions."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Wu Zhe, "Is this the color?"

Wu Zhe nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, the original paint was white, but after adding high-purity silicon, it actually reacted and turned into this light blue color."

“Will there be any impact?”

“This has not been discovered yet.”

Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, "Divide the experiment into several groups and find the most suitable one."

"it is good."

Wu Zhe nodded immediately, "We have prepared two models, and we can mix and use them later to try to find the most suitable ratio."

"Sure, it doesn't have to be too high, 600 degrees is about right."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and gave an acceptable temperature.

With a surface temperature of 600 degrees, the aircraft would probably have to reach Mach 4. In that case, even if the aircraft could withstand it, the pilot would be somewhat inadequate.

"it is good!"

Wu Zhe chose to believe Yang Xiaotao's request without any hesitation.

Although Li Hongfeng was curious about why the goal was set at 600 degrees, he was too embarrassed to interrupt when he saw the two of them were talking about work.

I can only ask when I have free time.

While the two people were communicating here, the experiment was still going on.

Soon, someone came to report that the surface temperature of the object had reached 300 degrees.

Everyone immediately paid attention after hearing this.

Yang Xiaotao also walked aside to check the progress at any time.

Three hundred and fifty degrees, and the steel inside didn't change at all.

At four hundred degrees, everyone's eyes began to become solemn.

At 500 degrees, the steel remains the same.

Next is six hundred degrees, six hundred and fifty degrees.

When the temperature reached 700 degrees, burn marks appeared on the surface of the steel, and the original light blue color suddenly turned black in some places.

Everyone knew that this was the limit. "Boss Yang, 700 degrees."

Wu Zhe came over to report the situation, and Yang Xiao nodded, "Continue the experiment."

"Then lower the ratio and make sure it's between 600 and 610 degrees."

"Too much, it's a waste."

Wu Zhe nodded and asked An Zhongsheng to continue the experiment, and then asked someone to re-determine the proportion of high-purity silicon.

Here, after the steel in the high-temperature reactor melts into a ball of molten steel, the person in charge of observation will report the final temperature.

One thousand six hundred degrees.

"Old An, what is the original melting point of this steel?"

"Yang Department, originally it was more than 1,420!"

"So, an increase of 200 degrees?"

An Zhongsheng watched the molten steel being moved out of the reactor under the control of workers, and then poured into the model again. It was a model embryo of a Baiju fighter plane.

“This can also be considered another alloy.”

"That's right. Let's record this data. It might be useful in the future."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he said to Li Hongfeng, Han Sanfeng and others, "Starting today, all high-purity silicon produced will be retained and used to make new high-temperature resistant coatings."

"Old Li, go and tell the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"I'm going to call Mr. Peng."

This experiment fully demonstrated the high-temperature performance of high-purity silicon added to the coating.

Now all we have to do is find the most suitable ratio.

After the task was assigned, Yang Xiaotao went to the office and picked up the phone.

After a while, a strange voice came from the phone. After Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, he waited for a while and finally heard Mr. Peng's voice.

"Boss Peng, I have something to report to you."

Yang Xiaotao knew Mr. Peng's temper, so he came up and explained the situation directly.

President Peng is busy working in the command center.

There has been a lot of commotion in the south recently, which has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially since Bei'an, who received funding, actually took the initiative to counterattack, he felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, Bei'an's most important task right now is defense.

Then the war will be delayed until summer or the rainy season, when they will strike back.

But they chose this time to attack. Although it was unexpected, in his opinion, they won in tactics but lost strategic advantage.

Unless, they have other plans.

At this time, the adjutant said that Yang Xiaotao was looking for him, which made him a little strange. Could something have happened again?
"You said."

Mr. Peng looked calm.

"That's right. When we were researching high-purity silicon, we found that it has very high heat resistance. We experimented and made it into aviation coatings that can withstand temperatures over 600 degrees."

When Yang Xiaotao first said that, Mr. Peng didn’t feel anything different.

He has also noticed the latest research results of the Ninth Department. It must be said that the first fire after the establishment of the Ninth Department has been started, and it is burning very vigorously.

High-purity silicon, calculators, each of these is a remarkable thing.

In particular, the emergence of calculators greatly shortened the time 701 took to decipher secret messages.

Originally, I thought that what Yang Xiaotao was talking about was related to calculators, but when I heard the end, I found out that it was actually related to airplanes, which immediately gave Mr. Peng a shock.

He has been keeping an eye on those little black birds.

In order to be able to eat my fill in one go, I had been enduring the first two times.

Now that 701 is able to decipher the telegram in advance, it means they can make preparations early.

But now, although Baiju's combat effectiveness is very strong, it is only half and half to say that he can completely keep Blackbird.

Last time, it was because the other party was careless.

Even so, Baiju could not maintain super-high speed flight for a long time.

That's why he asked for fifty white horses.

Because only after he has fifty white horses can he be sure to keep the little black bird.

But now Yang Xiaotao actually said that he could increase the super-high-speed flight time of the Baiju fighter. This was a big deal.

"Wait a minute, I'll go!"

Mr. Peng felt that it was difficult to explain it clearly over the phone, so it would be better for him to go to the Ninth Department in person to take a look.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Mr. Peng's car drove into the ninth department.

At this time, the third time was going on in the workshop.

Yang Xiaotao welcomed Mr. Peng to the workshop, and everyone was very excited about Mr. Peng's arrival.

"Boss Peng, after two experiments, we found that adding one-third of high-purity silicon to the coating can ensure that steel will not be affected at a high temperature of 640 degrees."

“Now, we are experimenting with a quarter of the paint!”

Yang Xiaotao pointed at the light blue steel inside the reactor. This piece of steel was lighter in color than the first time.

Mr. Peng just nodded and took the information handed over by Yang Xiaotao.

After reading it, he said, "How much silicon do you have now? Can it be enough to paint an airplane?"

"We currently have four kilograms of high-purity silicon in stock. In addition, we have stopped supplying from other places starting today. This has been agreed upon. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is very supportive of our work."

"Based on the production of half a pound a day, if the demand is normal, an airplane would need ten pounds of paint. That would take twelve days."

"Of course, if you work overtime, a week should be no problem."

As Yang Xiaotao spoke, President Peng nodded and then focused his attention on the reactor.

He thought a lot on the way here.

He could naturally think of what Yang Xiaotao and others could think of.

What he was thinking about more was how to ensure that the plan was foolproof.

Originally, we were planning to use numbers to increase our chances of winning.

But now it seems that there is a better choice this time.
