Chapter 406 The speed is a bit low, only Mach 15!
Li Yang's words not only calmed Hua Yucai's anger instantly, but also made him look at the other party with a surprised expression.
"Mr. Li, what did you say?"
"You are also working on pulse detonation engines?"
He had some knowledge of this thing and knew some of its history.
Foreign research on the mechanism of pulse detonation began in the early 20s, and comprehensive exploration began in the 40s.
Later, due to lack of funding, exploratory research on detonation combustion as an alternative to air-breathing and rocket propulsion was terminated in the late 20s.
Subsequently, Helman, Sheeve and Eidelman proposed the concept of the modern pulse detonation engine.
In 1994, under the leadership of Professor Yan Chuanjun, Longguo Xi'an University was the first in China to carry out research on pulse detonation engines.
Over a period of ten years.
Professor Yan Chuanjun's team conducted a large number of experimental studies, using thermodynamics and detonation wave theory to scientifically explain the working principle of PDE and establish a method for PDE working cycle and performance analysis.
Heard it from Wu Xingguo.
The fundamental reason why Jiang Liqun was so interested in pulse detonation engines was that he saw the relevant literature written by Professor Yan Chuanjun and some of his scientific research results.
And we want to continue to work on his foundation and create a pulse detonation engine model that belongs to Longguo.
One day in the future, it will be actually used in Dragon Country’s fighter jets and aircraft.
But, obviously.
His grand goal was not achieved because of his hard work and perseverance.
He was even too obsessed with this field and ended up wasting five years of golden scientific research time.
And now...
Li Yang actually admitted it frankly.
He also conducted research in the field of pulse detonation engines, and his achievements are even higher than Jiang Liqun's?
This made Hua Yucai unable to comprehend the situation for a while.
real or fake?
Li Yang is secretly making a name for himself in another field?
As if he saw the other party's doubt, Li Yang said with a smile.
"This is not the place to talk."
"If Mr. Hua doesn't believe it, let's go to the laboratory to verify it after dinner!"
Hua Yucai had exactly the same idea and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't eat, I'm in a hurry now!"
He made a gesture to stand up, but Li Yang pushed him down and said helplessly.
"Mr. Hua, you are not hungry, but I am!"
Hua Yucai slapped his forehead.
"Ah, yes, yes!"
"You eat. If it's not enough, I'll give you this."
"You're still growing, so eat more. If you have any new projects in the future, remember to tell me in advance!"
After his anger subsided, he looked at Jiang Liqun with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Li Yang ate the meal with gusto.
Hua Yucai was so absorbed in eating that his mind had already flown to the laboratory.
Jiang Liqun was somewhat uneasy.
He always noticed the strange look in Mr. Hua's eyes from time to time.
After eating and drinking, Li Yang returned to the laboratory and recounted some of the test questions and problems from the morning.
Although Hua Yucai did not make any achievements in this field, he at least had some understanding of it.
After listening to Li Yang's lecture, I finally believed what he said.
Hua Yucai sighed.
"Mr. Li, what else can't you do?"
"There aren't many people working in the field of pulse detonation engines in the entire Dragon Country. The ability you have demonstrated so far probably exceeds that of many others."
After hesitating for a moment, he asked again.
"Engineer Li, tell me the truth, what is the possibility of producing a real product and having it officially put into service?"
Not only Hua Yucai was curious about this question, but Jiang Liqun who was standing next to him also wanted to know the answer.
Theory is one thing, but the key lies in actually creating something that can be used in fighter jets and aircraft.
And it plays a role in actual combat.
Hear the words.
Li Yang frowned and fell into deep thought.
It’s not that he can’t make the real thing, but because he has no reference, he doesn’t know what level the real thing will be.
So it’s not easy to answer this question right away.
However, his troubled expression seemed a little disappointing to Hua Yucai and Jiang Liqun.
Even if Li Yang takes action, there is no guarantee that the pulse detonation engine can be made into a real thing?
Especially Jiang Liqun.
Although I knew this would be the result.
Although I know that it will take time to develop a real pulse detonation engine.
A rough estimate is that it could be as short as ten years or as long as several decades.
But if I say I'm not sad or disappointed when I actually hear this fact, it would be a lie.
Hua Yucai rubbed his thumb and laughed dryly.
"Haha, I was too hasty."
"Other countries have been working on this for decades, but have yet to make any progress."
"You've only been involved for a short time, and you're already eager to get a specific time. I was being reckless."
Li Yang came to his senses at this time.
He looked at the somewhat embarrassed expression on Hua Yucai's face and saw Jiang Liqun's unconcealable disappointment, and immediately understood what was going on.
Li Yang spoke with a smile.
"Mr. Hua, Professor Jiang, what I was thinking just now is that the finished products currently developed in the world are actually not pulse detonation engines in the true sense."
"So, I thought that even if I created it, there would be no standard to compare it with, which was a problem."
"In my opinion, if the team is strong and progress goes smoothly, I can develop a pulse detonation aircraft engine that is suitable for the current Dragon Country fighter jets within two years."
"But since this is the first trial version, I'm afraid the flight speed won't be too high. The maximum flight speed can probably only be maintained at around Mach 15..."
The words fell.
The expressions on Hua Yucai and Jiang Liqun's faces suddenly changed.
Hua Yucai took a step forward and asked with a nervous and excited look on his face.
"How many?"
"In two years? Mach 15?!!"
Li Yang nodded.
"The first one is a test model. There are many technologies and structures that I need to test in the finished product before I can make further improvements."
"However, after the second version, it will definitely be more than Mach 15!"
He also thought that Hua Yucai was not very satisfied with the flying speed.
after all.
The other party has read relevant information and has some knowledge in this area.
According to common sense.
The flight speed should be Mach 17 to be considered acceptable.
however……
Li Yang obviously misinterpreted his reaction.
Hua Yucai held Li Yang's arms tightly.
"That's enough! That's enough!"
"At this speed, not to mention the latest fighter jets from the United States, even their missiles can't catch up with us!"
"Hahaha……"
He laughed heartily, feeling extremely excited.
in those days.
In order to hinder the development of Longguo, they tried to mislead the direction of Longguo's scientific and technological and military development.
The United States has developed a lot of PPT-type products.
Among them is the idealized pulse detonation engine.
they expressed.
If such an aviation engine is developed, it will no longer be a dream for humans to travel to and from space.
I’m afraid the United States would never have expected this.
Their PPT will become a reality in the near future!
Hua Yucai added.
"It seems that we need to contact the people of the Aviation Group and the Military Industry Group in advance and ask them to train some high-intensity astronauts and pilots in advance."
"Ordinary pilots can't handle this kind of flying speed!"
"Don't let the thing be built but no one uses it, that would be a huge joke..."
