After listening to Yang Xing memorizing textbooks, although Ke Youli and Fan Wei did not have the same plug-in as Yang Xing’s “Baidu Niang” in his previous life, they understood the meaning of Yang Xing’s intention to use aviation materials as a breakthrough to build the main products of the aviation industrial park. In the modern aviation industry, there are many parts, but the ever-changing changes are inseparable from the most basic materials. Just like the petrochemical industry cannot leave crude oil, and the steel industry cannot leave iron ore.

Moreover, Yang Xing is not just talking, he has also taken specific measures. He introduced that the core technology of aviation materials research in China is the Aviation Materials Research Institute under AVIC, which is recognized as the leader in the research of airframe composite materials and engine high-temperature alloys in China. However, the common problem of domestic research institutions is that they are advanced in theory, but the industrial transformation capabilities are very weak. Many technologies that can catch up with the world's advanced level are lying in the filing cabinet after winning the award because they cannot win the favor of enterprises in time.

Yang Xing gave an example. High-temperature alloys made by aircraft engines include many technical categories. In addition to the nickel-based alloy manufacturing he talked about, there is also a kind of powder high-temperature alloy manufacturing technology that is also the pearl that countries are competing for research and development. Powder high-temperature alloy refers to high-temperature alloys prepared by powder metallurgy technology. They are indispensable in the manufacturing of turbo discs of core components of advanced aero engines. They have been widely used in the third- and fourth-generation advanced fighter engines being developed by various countries. Internationally, it is believed that if the fourth-generation stealth fighter wants to meet super maneuverability and supersonic cruise capabilities, the thrust-weight ratio is more than 10 aircraft engines. The preferred material for the turbine disc of this engine requires powder high-temperature alloy technology.

As early as the 1980s, AVIC Aviation Materials Institute successfully developed the first generation of powder high-temperature alloys and nickel-based single-crystalline high-temperature alloys, and then developed the second and third-generation products, with the quality meeting the A-level standards of international similar alloys, greatly narrowing the gap with foreign technology. Similar situations also occur in the research and development of carbon fibers, which are the most widely used in the body composite materials, and AVIC Aviation Materials Institute has made outstanding achievements.

But that's it. Although we have broken through some key technical difficulties, due to the low overall manufacturing level, these technologies have been unable to be put into practical use. The first thing we pursue in the aviation industry is reliability and stability. After all, this carries many living people flying in the air. There is no flaw. As a result, these technologies are trapped in the laboratory and cannot be promoted on a large scale. The small scale of the industry in turn causes the performance of domestic advanced aviation materials to be unstable compared with foreign products, which is more cost-effective and has weaker competitiveness.

Yang Xing saw this and wanted to build a bridge between advanced technology and enterprises. Jiudu Aviation Industrial Park was of great significance. Before coming to Jiudu, he had asked researchers from Xingdou Research Institute and Xingchen Manufacturing to go to research units such as China Aviation Aviation Materials Institute to learn from and dig for treasures, and applied to the central government to establish a special fund to support the industrialization of high-tech aviation. Yang Xing proposed that it would rather spend ten years to pay 10 billion US dollars than to narrow the gap between domestic aviation engines and similar foreign products to a few years. He believed that with the intelligence of the Chinese, there was no reason not to be able to do it!

When Ke Youli heard this, he couldn't help but be impressed by Yang Xing's determination to improve the country's overall manufacturing capacity at all costs. He was also a little confused. With Yang Xing's current wealth, he could immediately retire from the world and ensure that he would never spend it in his lifetime. Why did he always feel a sense of urgency and want China to catch up with developed countries in a short period of time?

Fan Wei knew a little bit. He and Yang Xing had a long talk in Beijing and asked the same question. Yang Xing only answered two sentences, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country;" "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Only Yang Xing understood privately. As his rebirth date approaches, the advantages he has are decreasing. In this life, he can say that his personal goals have exceeded the completion, but these two sentences have been repeated in his heart.

He told Fan Wei that he felt that he had the ability to help more people. Why not help his compatriots? After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many promising young people in China worked hard to revitalize China and sacrificed their lives. Although our living environment is very different now, the country still has many backward places. In this great era, they can fully expand their talents. Yang Xing believed that he would not be able to recover his skills and was not a scientific genius. His only strength was his business ability. The industry served the country and helped the country take off, which was his wish.

In addition, Yang Xing understood that the day when his rebirth advantage was exhausted, he said that he was standing on the same starting line as other competitors. He didn't feel that he really had the level of challenging people like Bill Gates and Jobs. So he planned ahead, handed over the shift early, and listed the basic technology industries that were related to the future development of Zhongxing Group and could lead one step ahead, and took advantage of the first-mover advantage to occupy market share. As the country's most competitive aviation industry in the future, it was in the big game he planned.

Since Xinghai Trade entered the air cargo industry, Yang Xing has been intentionally improving the level of Zhongxing's penetration of the aviation industry. The production of rotorcraft and supersonic business passenger aircraft is just a small trial. The formal launch of the carbon fiber production line and the one-time procurement of 120 Boeing 737s was his clarion call for a full entry into the aviation industry. However, the aviation industry is a high-end industry controlled by the government in any country. Yang Xing wants to intervene in the aviation industry by relying on his private enterprise, and his policy difficulty is not small at all, so he first launched a general aviation pilot in Hainan, and focused on developing aviation materials in Jiudu to attack in a curve.

Yang Xing explained to Ke that when Zhongxing Group originally chose to introduce the carbon fiber production line that was launched not long ago among several major star cities, the main consideration was Tianjin or Chang'an, because there was a certain aviation industry foundation. But now that the central government can choose Jiudu as a pilot area for the aviation industry, for his personal emotional considerations, he is willing to leave this opportunity to Jiudu, and personally decided to set up a group's high-tech materials R&D center in Jiudu Central Star City, focusing on the research and development of composite materials mainly composed of carbon fiber and high-temperature alloys as the main material of aviation engines.

Yang Xing also said that of course he is not serving the country free of charge. In fact, high-tech materials are also of great benefit to improving the quality of Zhongxing Group's manufacturing products. For example, although carbon fiber is generally considered to be used in the aviation field, it is widely used in high-speed sports cars, sports bicycles, golf clubs, ultra-thin notebook shells, building concrete reinforcement and fire protection.

Zhongxing scientists are using the graphene patents they have mastered to develop it into a special carbon fiber cloth, combined with another shear-resistant material to trial produce an ultra-light and thin body armor material. Because graphene is the hardest nanomaterial found in the world, this body armor can have the same appearance as ordinary fabrics, and its bulletproof ability is no less than that of the US military's current body armor. Even if it is expensive, it still arouses the interest of many super rich people in the world. By the same token, if graphene carbon fiber is used on aviation fuselages, it is definitely not a fantasy to create ultra-light aircraft materials like paper.

Through cooperation with China AVIC Aviation Materials Institute, China Star Group also plans to implement large-scale industrialization of domestic high-temperature alloys at Jiudu High-tech Materials R&D Center, so that the civil gas turbines produced by the group and supersonic business passenger aircraft engines are no longer controlled by others. In the process of digesting and absorbing the Soviet secret gear brought back by Yang Xing, Xingchen Manufacturing has mastered the second-generation nickel-based single-crystal high-temperature alloy technology developed before the Soviet Union collapse, and trial-producing single-crystal hollow turbine blades on this basis. This technology is a key technology of aviation engines and has been monopolized by a few major world-class aviation technology developed.

Nickel-based alloys formed based on nickel, plus a small amount of copper, iron, tin and other elements generally can only withstand high temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. If you want to increase the temperature, a "natural" method cannot be found, and you can only rely on "artificial". According to nature, the boundary between the crystals of metal materials and crystals is very easy to break, just as the branches of a tree are always easier to break. The solution that scientists thought of is that if all crystals grow in one direction, it is like a bundle of neatly arranged chopsticks, and the firmness will be greatly enhanced. By artificially guiding the growth of crystals, we finally get a directional crystal that grows in one direction, which is a single crystal.

The single crystal blades of ordinary nickel-based alloys can withstand high temperatures of 1100c, which is very impressive. However, the high temperature resistance requirements in modern gas turbines and aircraft engines are up to 1500c. They can only be covered with various pores under uniformly distributed blades. At high temperatures, the pores can reduce the surface temperature of the blade by introducing air to form cold air. This involves many disciplines and advanced manufacturing processes, which require great investment and determination. Therefore, countries in the world that can produce aviation engines are the five permanent members of the United Nations.

Yang Xing gave an example. If the whole gas turbine provided by his Xingwei Resources for domestic power plants is purchased from abroad, one will cost more than one billion yuan. The most important one imported single crystal blade is about 400,000 yuan. After an intermediate agent sells it to a Chinese manufacturer, the price will be several times higher and it can be sold for tens of millions of yuan per piece. A gas turbine needs to be composed of several stages of turbine blades, and the first-stage turbine blades need to be composed of nearly 100 such single crystal blades. That is to say, the purchase price of the first-stage turbine blades is about 100 million yuan. It is no wonder that the entire equipment is so expensive.

Now if the domestic single crystal blades can be produced in China, the cost can be reduced to one-quarter of foreign products, which will undoubtedly significantly reduce the cost of using gas turbines in power plants, passenger aircraft, ships, etc., which is very beneficial to Zhongxing's cost reduction. Jack Welch, former president of General Electric, who was once one of the world's three major aviation engine manufacturers, is very clear about this and strongly supports Yang Xing...
