On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Ji Youguo, accompanied by Wang Yuanqing, left the capital and went to the Air Force Base.

"The plane is ready and can take off at any time."

Ji Youguo nodded to Pan Yunsheng who came to receive the reception. "Hurry up and talk about it again when you get on the plane."

The group boarded the ready military transport plane, left the air base, and flew westward.

"The base has been contacted." Pan Yunsheng handed a document to Ji Youguo, "This is the information you want. According to regulations, one-quarter of the researchers took turns to take leave and went home for the New Year."

“Does it have any impact on scientific research?”

"There is basically no impact. Since last year, the number of researchers has been one-third more than the rated ones."

Ji Youguo nodded and opened the document in his hand.

Pan Yunsheng didn't talk anymore, took out a cigarette and called Wang Yuanqing aside.

In more than 6 years, Ji Youguo went to the National Physical Experimental Center, known as the "Eye of the Future of the Republic" for the first time, located in the northwest of the Greater West.

The document that Pan Yunsheng handed over to Ji Youguo is the development research report of the Physical Experimental Center.

Before the Fourth India-Pakistan War, Pan Yunsheng presided over the work at the Physical Experimental Center and supervised the first phase of research. He was then transferred back by Ji Youguo and continued to preside over the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

As far as the outside world knows, there are two research results in the first phase, namely composite batteries and superconducting motors.

In fact, there is only one research result in the first phase: metal hydrogen catalytic generation technology.

Whether it is a composite battery, a superconducting motor, or even a fusion nuclear power plant under trial operation, the core is the ability to catalyze metal hydrogen in the presence of "normal temperature".

The so-called "normal temperature and normal state" is just a comparison of the value without catalytic conditions.

Even if composite catalyst is used, metal hydrogen can only exist at 150,000 atmospheric pressures, and the maximum temperature for normal operation is 85 degrees Celsius.

The key is to act as a catalyst as a "multivariate special alloy".

There are only two people in the world who know the specific components of this alloy, namely Luo Yizu, director of the Physical Experiment Center, and Ji Xiaoji, head of the project.

According to the conclusion drawn by Western countries after studying composite batteries, "catalytic alloys" are composed of 78 elements, and only scientists in the Republic know about the proportion of each element, the distribution of elements, and the combination of elements. Because of the special proportion, distribution of circumstances and combination methods, imitating composite batteries has become impossible. In terms of the proportion of elements, the proportion of each element is between 50% and 10 billion parts, and 78 elements have hundreds of billions of ways to match them, and it is impossible to draw specific situations through experiments.

A catalyst determines the future of the entire world.

The metal hydrogen generated through catalyzing will definitely completely change the world's surface.

There is only one reason why metal is magical: superconductivity.

As an ideal superconducting material, metal hydrogen has the ability to store electrical energy hundreds of times that of ordinary electric storage materials, and is an ideal material for manufacturing superconducting motors. Superconductors are supermagnets, and a slight current can form a powerful magnetic field. The key condition for achieving a controlled fusion nuclear reaction is that they are sufficient to constrain electrons and protons.

It is not difficult to understand why composite batteries, superconducting motors and fusion nuclear power plants were first born in the Republic.

Everything comes from the "special substance" brought back from Africa 6 and a half years ago.

The first stage belongs to "basic" research, and the second stage belongs to "applicable" research.

According to the land plan formulated by Luo Yizu and Ji Xiaoji, the second phase of the research mainly conquers two key technologies, one is special alloy and the other is polymer composite materials.

According to performance, special alloys are mainly divided into high-strength alloys, wear-resistant alloys, plastic alloys and other varieties. High-strength alloys are ideal materials for making armor. If used to make tanks, they can not only reduce the weight of the tank ground by half, but also double the protective performance of the tank. Wear-resistant alloys are necessary materials for making electromagnetic gun grounds, and can also be widely used in various special fields. Plastic alloys can be widely used in the aerospace field, laying the foundation for future development of space and exploration of other planets.

Most applications in the military field can be converted into industrial productivity. Take high-strength alloys as an example. In addition to being used to make armor, they can also be used in various industries such as machining, medical care, and construction. Wear-resistant alloys can be used to make special equipment or tools such as drill bits, axles, milling cutters. Plastic alloys can be widely used in medical, construction, equipment manufacturing and other fields.

Polymer composite materials are also divided into many types and have wide application prospects in the military and civilian fields.

It can be seen that the main research projects in the second phase are closely related to national defense and industrial production.

After more than a year of hard work, the researchers at the Physical Experiment Center have achieved several very important results.

In early 20166, the first wear-resistant alloy was released. Although its performance did not meet the set goals, it found the right direction for later research. After several months of hard work, three wear-resistant alloys were born in the laboratory. The performance of the last wear-resistant alloy has reached the research goals, and the researchers are doing the last work: looking for industrial production.

If the research is successfully completed, the first batch of electromagnetic catapults produced by the industry that are wear-resistant to the "Republic" aircraft carrier will be used to manufacture the body tube of the first orbital electromagnetic gun in the Republic.

In May 20166, the first high-strength composite material was born. The Physical Experimental Center completed industrial production research before the end of the year and officially put into production at the beginning of this year. According to the plan, the first large regional aircraft with a load capacity of 30/carrying 150 passengers developed by the Republic will use high-strength composite materials to make the main wing bearing framework. In the future, high-strength composite materials will also be widely used in other large aircraft and military aircraft.

The third result, namely, the first high-strength alloy, was launched at the end of 20166. Because the performance is somewhat different from the predetermined target and the industrial production process is also very complicated, the Center for Physics Experiment is conducting in-depth research and does not intend to put the obtained results into industrial production. There is no introduction in the document.

After reading the documents, Ji Youguo breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

"The progress is much faster than I expected." Ji Youguo put down the document, took the cigarette handed over by Pan Yunsheng, and said, "It seems that there is no problem with the 'Republic' serving on time. The large aircraft project that has been delayed for four years should have achieved results."

"Yesterday I asked specifically that the electromagnetic catapult developed for the 'Republic' was manufactured at the end of last month and could be delivered to the airline within half a year. The first regional passenger aircraft will be delivered to the airline in the second half of this year. Shangfei provided 75 additional scientific research funds to the Experimental Center, requiring the Physics Experimental Center to complete the plastic surgery design of the composite battery as soon as possible, and prepare to make the first prototype test flight at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, and launch the first fully electric regional passenger aircraft to the market within two years. Now twenty-four airlines have signed procurement contracts for all electric regional passenger aircraft with Shangfei, with a total order volume of more than 500. More than fifty airlines have signed purchase intention contracts with Shangfei, and the total order volume will exceed 1,500. If the fully electric regional passenger aircraft can be successfully developed, within 20 years, the total output will exceed the Boeing 737 series and become the world's largest production regional passenger aircraft."

"Shangfei has a big appetite, and he wants to kill Boeing and Airbus with one stick."

"The regional passenger plane is just the beginning. Shangfei has been calling for the launch of higher-level composite batteries to the civilian market as soon as possible." Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "According to the report submitted by Shangfei, if military-grade composite batteries are placed into the civilian market, a trunk-line large passenger plane with a range of more than 14,000 kilometers can be developed. If all-electric trunk-line large passenger planes are put on the market, Boeing and Airbus will have a hard time."

"It is not the time yet. Military models cannot be left out before developing a composite battery with better performance."

"I think at least part of it should be let go."

"What does it mean?" Ji Youguo glanced at Pan Yunsheng.

"The composite batteries used on the AIP conventional submarines we sell are better than those placed in the civilian market. Since military products can be sold, why can't they be used as civilian products?"

Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "You can study it carefully after you go back, figure out the situation before making a decision."

"No problem, I'll report it to you as soon as possible."

"Don't give it to me, just give it to Lao Zhao."

Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Okay, just give it to Lao Zhao. I still have some military product development projects. If you are interested, it is best to review them before leaving office."

"Why?"

"Lao Ji, you won't violate the rules you set, are you?"

This time it was Ji Youguo's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then he also shook his head with a wry smile.

As early as six and a half years ago, Ji Youguo set rules that except for the head of state and the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, leaders of other countries can only access all top-secret information related to the "Yanhuang Plan" if they are authorized by the head of state. The development of military products based on the "Yanhuang Plan" also falls within this category.

After Ji Youguo left office, he was not only not the head of state, but also not even the leader of the state, so he naturally had no right to interfere.

"Let me do this. After I go back, I will send the information to the head of state. You can take time to take a look."

Ji Youguo nodded. "Okay, I have a clear mind before leaving office so I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future."

Pan Yunsheng smiled and shook his head. He knew that Ji Youguo didn't want to leave at all, but he had to leave. He served the country for decades and left his job and went back to live a pastoral life. He would get sick in a few days.

The plane vibrated slightly a few times and began to slowly lower the altitude.

The destination is about to arrive, and Ji Youguo's mood has also calmed down.

For more than six years, Ji Youguo has always wanted to visit the Physical Experiment Center and visit the scientific researchers who burned their youth and sacrificed themselves for the interests of the country and the nation, but they have never been able to spare time.

If Wang Yuanqing hadn't mentioned this incident accidentally before the New Year, there wouldn't be a special itinerary for today.
