The reason why the development of aircraft engines in ancient countries was so difficult was that there were three big mountains in front of them.
The first was design, the second was materials, and the third was processing.
The aero engine was known as the flower of the industry, and its design involved many aspects of the industry, not to mention its complexity.
Materials were the most important part of an aircraft engine. Materials were the main factor that determined the performance of the engine.
The West had always been in a leading position in the field of aero engines.
It was because they were more advanced than the ancient countries in terms of materials.
There was also the problem of processing.
Although the ancient country was an industrial country, it was not considered an industrial powerhouse.
Especially in terms of high-precision processing, there was still a certain gap compared to the West.
If Qin Yi wanted to replicate this low-thrust turbofan engine, he needed to solve this processing problem.
As for the design and materials, that was not a problem at all. After all, the ready-made blueprints were in front of him.
And processing was not difficult. In terms of high-end machine tools, the three major machine tool companies in the country had very strong strength.
The Taihang engine of the ancient country was the best proof.
When these three difficulties were no longer difficult, there was nothing that could become an obstacle to this aero engine.
Qin Yi led a team of more than a hundred people and began to attack.
With the help of detailed blueprints, many academicians, and aerospace engine talents, the progress was terrifying.
To build an engine that belonged to the ancient country from scratch, everyone was full of power, and many people took the initiative to stay and work overtime.
It was also in this working environment that the materials needed for various aircraft engines were successfully replicated.
The most basic problem of materials had been solved. The next step was to follow the process.
One by one, the parts were formed under the high-end industrial processing, and then sent to the newly built factory for testing and assembly.
The core engine's air conditioner, combustion chamber, and high-pressure turbine were all assembled.
The components of these three core machines had gone through various tests. After confirming that there were no problems, the cm-100 core machine that would make great contributions to the ancient country's aerospace engine industry in the future was born.
Qin Yi and several academicians looked at the prototype of the cm-100 core machine that the workers had assembled.
"Unbelievable, it's really unbelievable. Two months, it's only been two months, and we've already developed a core computer.”
Even though Zhou Hongyuan was already over fifty years old, he was still getting emotional.
As a core member of this project, he knew very well how powerful this self-developed core computer was.
Many of the advanced technologies were not mastered by the major foreign aviation giants.
"Immediately send it to the nearest ground test stand for ignition test.”
The ground test bench was a place specially used to test aircraft engines.
In recent years, the ancient country had been able to make major breakthroughs in the field of aircraft engines, and these ground test platforms had contributed greatly.
The arrival of the core machine was highly valued by the entire ground test center. This was an advanced core machine that belonged to the ancient country.
Its importance was self-evident. Perhaps with such a core machine, the ancient country could solve the root cause of heart disease.
After the assembly and inspection of the exhaust pipe, accessories, and pipes, the ground test center began the first ignition of the cm-100 core machine.
After spending two days in unsealing and cold operation, on the fifth day, the core machine began to roar and successfully completed the first ignition.
This was an important day for the entire ancient country's aviation industry.
Then, the core mecha began a series of experiments, especially after the second and third core mecha were transported over.
The entire ground test platform revolved around the cm-100 core machine.
Only under such a high-intensity test could the process be accelerated.
During this period, Qin Yi did not idle. Instead, he went to another project team to inspect.
This project team had more than 300 people, and their progress was slightly better than theirs.
The main frame of the entire body had been processed and was displayed on the assembly line.
Next, they only needed to assemble various components on it. The difficulty was lower than the aero engine project team.
At that moment, Yiren found him.
"President Qin, the semiconductor business department is asking for money again. This time, they need 10 billion yuan.”
"10 billion!"
Qin Yi could not help but feel a slight toothache.
Previously, Qin Yi had underestimated the ability of the ice engraving machine and carbon-based chips to swallow gold.
In less than half a year, they had already invested nearly 20 billion yuan. Now, another 10 billion yuan had been invested. Half of the money they had earned previously had been invested in this hole.
The reason why this project was so expensive was mainly because the ancient country's foundation in this aspect was too weak. There was no relevant mature industrial chain.
Moreover, the ice engraving machine was a brand new processing equipment. Many technologies and processing equipment were not available at the moment.
Therefore, they had to start from the materials until the processing equipment was completed.
An ice engraving machine had more than 200,000 parts and weighed more than 200 tons.
Of course, not all parts had to be so complicated. It was mainly because some parts with extremely high technical content were more expensive and time-consuming.
"Give, give!"
Even though he was heartbroken by the money, he still had to grit his teeth and sign the contract.
No matter how much money he paid now, he would have to pay it back hundreds or thousands of times in the future.
This thing might seem like a bottomless pit to others, but to him, there was a limit to the amount of money he could invest.
"Looks like I have to find some ways to make money. With so much investment in the semiconductor industry and so many projects, the remaining funds are simply not enough.”
Qin Yi had also thought of going to the bank to get a loan, but this could not solve the problem at all. He still needed a cash cow.
The God's Chosen System had always been Qin Yi's timely help.
When he encountered a problem, the Chosen One System appeared again and gave him a cash cow.
