Chapter 802: A flash of inspiration, Zhou Tian’s guidance
It can be said that Zhou Tian’s research over the years, in terms of technical reserves alone, is enough to raise the current domestic production level to the 1980s and 1990s. The only thing restricting the development of domestic industry is still the lack of technical talents.
Therefore, although the government was originally planning to stop recruiting students for universities next year, it directly increased the training of students from technical secondary schools and built a number of new technical secondary schools across the country.
Unfortunately, the time is too short and the lack of talent cannot keep up with the development of the industrial level, which even led to the idea of opposing the suspension of university admissions.
Of course, he didn't know all this. After all, he was still worried about the coming storm and had never thought about how much impact his arrival would have on the future.
"Dean, after our improvements this time, using a lot of fiberglass materials, the data of this new submarine-launched cruise missile is not lower than the range of the submarine-launched cruise missile of the Bald Eagle Country. Moreover, because we improved the launch port, the range alone has reached more than 2,000 kilometers, which is nearly 500 kilometers more than the range of the No. 1 submarine-launched cruise missile!"
When Professor Shangguan talked about his discovery, his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement and he began to speak eloquently, while introducing the directions and ideas for improvement.
Zhou Tian nodded as he listened to Professor Shangguan's introduction. In fact, he had long known about the use of glass fiber materials to increase the range of cruise missiles. As far as he knew, the materials used by the Bald Eagle in its previous life, whether it was the Polaris series of cruise missiles or the later missile series, were all glass fiber.
He had originally planned to tell Professor Shangguan about this matter if he had no follow-up ideas after handing over the No. 1 submarine-launched cruise missile, or if the research reached a bottleneck. Unexpectedly, he thought of it himself. This was a good thing, as it saved him a lot of trouble.
After listening to Professor Shangguan’s introduction, Zhou Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he knew more about submarine-launched cruise missiles than Professor Shangguan, but now he deliberately pretended not to understand and kept listening to his various explanations. To be honest, this was also a tiring task.
Now that he had finally finished explaining, Zhou Tian thought about it and felt that it would be better to remind him again. After all, although adding some fiberglass materials to the cruise missile could indeed increase the range of the cruise missile, if the system was not working, it would still be quite a distance away from Bald Eagle's latest Polaris series cruise missiles.
If he remembered correctly, the maximum range of the Bald Eagle's Polaris cruise missile has reached an astonishing distance of more than 4600 kilometers. Compared with the more than 2600-kilometer range of the Type submarine-launched cruise missile that Professor Shangguan is studying, it is far inferior.
In order to achieve a range comparable to that of the Polaris cruise missile, at the very least, the technology required to achieve such a breakthrough is not trivial.
Thinking about it, he asked Professor Shangguan: "Professor Shangguan, although you used fiberglass as the outer shell of the missile and improved the launch port, have you ever thought about whether the thrust of the missile would be stronger if the power system used by the submarine-launched cruise missile was changed to electricity?"
"................"
As he spoke, Zhou Tian explained to him step by step the development ideas of future submarine-launched cruise missiles and some submarine-launched solid strategic missiles.
Of course, in the process of narrating, he also explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way the role and significance of such improvements, although some things were just the finishing touch for Professor Shangguan.
But if he didn't have Zhou Tian's advice, he would have to wait a long time if he wanted to make breakthroughs in these areas.
Sure enough, as Zhou Tian continued to explain, Professor Shangguan's eyes became brighter. Later on, he was afraid that he would not be able to remember, so he took out a notebook from his arms and began to record.
Only after Zhou Tian finished explaining all these development ideas one by one, Professor Shangguan looked at Zhou Tian and couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.
"President Zhou, listening to your words is worth ten years of study. I didn't expect that President Zhou is not only proficient in missile calculations, but also in design. It really makes Shangguan ashamed!"
God knows how excited he was when he listened to Zhou Tian’s story just now. Science is interconnected. Sometimes a flash of inspiration can break through the current research bottleneck.
Originally, he thought he had a flash of inspiration, got a new idea, and broke through the bottleneck of the current submarine-launched cruise missiles. He was already very lucky, but who would have thought that he actually got a bigger treasure from Zhou Tian.
Although he had thought about these treasures before, he had not yet experimented. Especially within the range of the cruise missile, he got new inspiration for the next step. This alone made him admire Zhou Tian very much.
No wonder people in Sijiu City say that Zhou Tian is comparable to someone in the northwest. He originally thought that others were exaggerating, but now it seems that this is not an exaggeration at all, it is clearly an derogation!
"Professor Shangguan, you are too kind. These are just some of my ideas, but if you want to make them a reality, you still need to do more experiments!"
Facing Professor Shangguan's praise, Zhou Tian smiled and said modestly that he had long been immune to such praise. If he had not been forced to do something against his will, he would not have left the Red Star Research Institute.
This caused his plan to fail. Although he didn't know who had insisted on transferring him away from the Red Star Research Institute, he knew very well that there must be some kind of plan behind it.
Now that he has come to the Fifth Research Institute, he dare not act so ostentatiously as he did before. Otherwise, he is afraid that the other party will transfer him away again, and it will be too late for him to regret it even if he wants to.
Next, he talked with Professor Shangguan for a while before leaving the Second Institute and visiting the First and Third Institutes respectively.
Everything is going on as usual in the First Institute, and the members of the Third Institute are also making rapid progress in their mastery of aerospace knowledge under the one-on-one teaching of Chang Weijun.
In Zhou Tian's opinion, in three months at most, they will be able to conduct some simple aerospace research. After half a year, the aerospace knowledge they have mastered will be no less than that of the technical personnel in some foreign aerospace research institutions.
After all, Chang Weijun's knowledge and abilities are not much worse than those of some foreign aviation executives today. The only gap is in the specific operations.
No matter how real the virtual space is, it is still somewhat different in reality, and this is also a test that Chang Weijun will face.
