When he heard this voice.
Beads of sweat could be seen on Engineer Zhou's forehead!
As an aircraft design engineer, he knew very well how serious the consequences would be if there was a problem with this turbine blade!
The core of the so-called turbine fan engine was the gradually shrinking turbine blades.
After the plane inhaled air through the air intake, the rotating fan blades accelerated the air. As the diameter of the fan blades gradually decreased, the air would be compressed many times!
When the same amount of air was compressed, the flow rate would increase greatly!
It was like blowing air with the mouth. The same lung capacity exhaled the same volume of air. When the mouth was wide open, one could almost feel nothing, but when the mouth was pouted, one could feel a gust of wind!
The air that flowed at an extremely fast speed would ignite after mixing with the fuel. Its volume would suddenly expand again, causing the speed of the jet to be extremely fast!
Only such a fast air flow could provide enough thrust!
It was precisely because of this.
In order to make the air flow fast enough, the step-by-step turbine had to provide enough compression force. In other words, the speed of the fan had to be very, very fast!
At a speed of more than 50,000 revolutions per minute, the centrifugal force at the end of the fan blade was quite terrifying!
At this moment.
The fan blade suddenly shattered!
The kinetic energy and flying speed of the shards were ten thousand times faster than bullets!
Engineer Zhou's heart was beating like a drum. Under the gaze of the other technicians, he took the ultrasonic probe and checked the fan again.
As expected.
There was no problem in other positions.
However, it was only at this position that the machine would emit a beeping alarm!
"What's wrong?"
" What problem did you find?"
Commander Gao walked over and asked Engineer Zhou.
Engineer Zhou hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the small screen of the ultrasonic flaw detector and explained to Commander Gao,"
"Look here."
"Logically speaking, the blades of the cold end of the air conditioner.”
"It's forged from pure alloy."
"The interior should be a compact and uniform structure.”
"It's absolutely impossible for there to be any cracks, bubbles, distortions, or other problems.”
"But from the feedback of the ultrasound, it seems that the patient is very weak.”
"This position of the fan has an ultrasonic reflection.”
"It means that there's a problem internally."
"For example, the stress release causes the metal to distort, or the metal molecules to break, and so on!”
"Commonly known as internal injuries!"
Battalion Commander Zhao, who was standing next to Regiment Commander Gao, couldn't help but feel proud. It turned out that there was really something wrong with the engine of this plane!
Moreover, it was a hidden injury that was difficult to detect!
But on second thought, an incredulous expression appeared on his face. How could Wang Ye hear the hidden injury that could only be discovered through the instrument after dismantling it when the two engines were working at the same time?
At this moment.
Although he had confirmed that there was a problem.
However, Battalion Commander Zhao couldn't help but agree with Engineer Zhou's words!
Was he crazy?
Would he believe that Wang Ye could tell that there was a problem with the engine?
Just as Battalion Commander Zhao was lost in his thoughts, Commander Gao asked again,"
"In other words,"
"Is there really a problem with the engine?"
"Zhiqian, that university student."
"Is his judgment correct?"
"Is this a serious problem?"
Commander Zhao smiled bitterly at Commander Gao's words. He nodded and said,"
"Although now."
"I still find it unbelievable!"
"But his judgment is correct."
"There is indeed a problem with this engine.”
"And it's a big problem!"
"Before this kind of internal injury erupts, it shouldn't be noticeable and there shouldn't be any problem.”
"But no one knows when it will erupt!”
"Once it explodes, the fan blades will shatter, and the debris will penetrate the engine or even the aircraft body. If it hits another engine or pierces the fuel tank, it will cause a fire.”
"It will be the outcome of a plane crash!”
Commander Gao and Commander Zhao felt a chill run down their spines when they heard Engineer Zhou's words.
If it weren't for Wang Ye, this problem wouldn't have been discovered. If the plane continued to fly, and if the internal injuries suddenly erupted and the plane crashed, the two of them, as the main leaders, would have to bear the responsibility!
After the explanation,
Engineer Zhou walked over and bowed respectfully to Battalion Commander Zhao.
"Battalion Commander Zhao."
"I want to formally apologize to you!"
"For what I said just now."
"You're right. An accident was avoided.”
"It also prevented the country and the military from losing property!”
"It also provided important help to our Zhan-8 fighter jet test!”
"Thank you!"
Seeing Engineer Zhou's sincere gratitude, Battalion Commander Zhao quickly waved his hand and said,"
"What are you saying?"
"This is also my duty!"
Although he said that, he was really very happy in his heart. The person who was scolding him just now was now bowing respectfully and apologizing to him. Moreover, he could imagine that he would definitely be rewarded for preventing the disaster!
In his heart.
Battalion Commander Zhao's admiration for Wang Ye was like a surging river. At the same time, he made up his mind to thank Wang Ye properly!
Commander Gao was more concerned about the aircraft. He asked Engineer Zhou,"
"Zhou Gong."
"What caused the internal injury?”
"Can you tell?"
Faced with this question, Engineer Zhou shook his head helplessly and said,"
"I can't tell."
"We have to bring it back to the factory for detailed research.”
"It might be accidental."
"We can't rule out the possibility that it's a problem with the manufacturing process of the fan blades, or even the overall design of the engine."
Engineer Zhou's expression turned even uglier. If it was an accident, then so be it. If it was the manufacturing process, then so be it. What if there was a problem with the engine as a whole?
That would be troublesome!
If the pressure on the fan blades was too great and caused internal injuries, the only way was to reduce the pressure. If the pressure was reduced, the power would be reduced, and the engine would not meet the design standards. This would directly affect the mobility and combat ability of the fighter jet!
Commander Gao's expression became more and more solemn.
Last year, Israel had a conflict with his neighbor, Syria, and the famous aerial battle in the Northern Block Valley broke out.
In this historic aerial battle.
Israel relied on the powerful third-generation fighter jet F-16/F-15 (4th generation Mao) to fight against a large number of second-generation fighters in Syria. They achieved a record of 104 to 0, which showed how terrifying the difference in fighter jets was!
It was also because of this battle that the Chinese military was afraid!
After all, in China, even the most advanced fighter jets that had not been mass-produced could only be considered second-generation (third-generation)!
Now.
What if the Battle-8's equipment didn't go smoothly?
The pressure on the Chinese military was too great!
More importantly, the higher-ups had already reached a consensus on reducing military spending and research funding. This was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for the military!
"But until now."
"I still can't believe it!"
"Although there are always people better than you.”
"But how could a university student hear such a hidden injury that hasn't erupted yet?”
"It still feels too unbelievable!”
"I'd rather he was just guessing!"
"Commander Gao."
"I want to meet this university student!"
In the end, Engineer Zhou still made this request.
