Chapter 216 Crisis, Python, Shelter(1/4)
Bang bang bang!
In space, once again, the experiment failed, and the material did not meet the expected standards.
Previously, Zhou Jimin had developed a high-temperature resistant material suitable for aircraft engines, and the high-temperature resistance was even high.
However, this material has flaws, including insufficient strength and unsatisfactory corrosion resistance.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin could only look for other alternative materials, or synthesize them with other metal materials.
The process is complicated and requires a lot of experiments.
No, it just failed again.
As a result, the research and development progress of titanium-aluminum alloy single crystal composite materials has been as slow as a turtle crawling.
In fact, if the titanium-aluminum alloy single crystal is dealt with, then Zhou Jimin can do it much faster in terms of other materials.
After all, the titanium-aluminum alloy single-crystal blades are at the front end of the turbine and are the core component of the entire aeroengine.
The requirements for this part of the turbine blades are very high. First of all, they must meet the requirements in terms of high temperature resistance.
The most basic one is two thousand degrees. Once the titanium-aluminum alloy single crystal is successfully developed, it may be able to withstand high temperatures to at least more than 3,700 degrees.
This data is absolutely unprecedented.
After all, the turbine blades can withstand temperatures of more than 3,700 degrees, which means the aeroengine’s thrust is more powerful.
"Ma Dan, labor and management don't believe it. There are tens of thousands of matching plans in this plan. There must be one that can achieve the desired results, right?"
Zhou Jimin was so disheartened by the experiment in front of him that his mentality almost exploded.
This is because research and development is conducted in space, and everything is controllable.
If in the real world, these experiments on synthetic materials would definitely not be so easy to explain, and they might hurt people.
For the next period of time, Zhou Jimin was still busy with research and development in space, occasionally taking his children and little goldfish to dig for medicinal materials.
Although the weather outside is very hot, the children will not stay at home all the time, and the little goldfish always wants to dig for medicinal materials from time to time.
The main reason is that Zhou Jimin said before that he dug up century-old ginseng.
Therefore, she also wants to dig up such ginseng, then make some money and buy a house!
Her fourth brother has already bought a house, and he chose it near Nanjianzi Hutong. It is very close, only a few hundred meters away.
It is a courtyard with one entrance and one span, about 500 square meters.
Although it's not as big as her elder brother's house, the little goldfish is very envious of it.
She used to dream of owning a house of her own, but now she dreams of owning a house of her own.
But she is only ten years old now, and there are very few, if any, ways to make money.
Therefore, she can only pester her elder brother to see if it is possible to dig up ginseng that is hundreds of years old, and then exchange money to buy a house.
It's a pity that throughout July, she followed her brother around for a long time, but she couldn't find the century-old ginseng.
In fact, I have never seen ginseng that is thirty years old. I have only dug up ginseng that is more than ten years old.
Ginseng of this vintage is not worth much.
The little goldfish was very discouraged.
In addition to these, Zhou Jimin also pays attention to the research and development progress of supercomputers, the development of Internet speed, the progress of self-research of automation equipment of Red Star Company, etc.
He just paid attention and did not participate.
Originally, he thought that the rest of his life would be such an ordinary day, but who knew that on the last day of July, he received a letter from a small island in the south.
So, he left home for the first time and drove to the Third Shoe Factory.
The Third Shoe Factory is completely different from last year.
Compared with the old and small shoe factory before, Zhou Jimin was completely unrecognizable to the shoe factory in front of him with its super gate and a huge stone as its facade.
The eighty-year-old man standing guard at the door has disappeared, replaced by four energetic security officers.
"Comrade, please show me your work ID. Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"
Zhou Jimin in the car looked very surprised.
He looked at the clerks standing guard, handed over his work permit, and said:
"That's it. I'm looking for your factory director Chu. Where is he?"
In just six months, he didn't know that the third shoe factory would undergo such a big change. It was simply beyond his expectation.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, when he approached the Third Shoe Factory and asked for help in producing fluorescent children's shoes, the Third Shoe Factory at that time only had a total of more than 150 people.
But what about now?
The factory is so big that even if Zhou Jimin stayed at the door for just a short while, several large trucks would already come in and out.
One can imagine how busy this third shoe factory is.
How many workers will there be in such a busy factory?
According to current estimates, Zhou Jimin thinks there are at least three to four thousand people?
At that time, after he came back from the southern island, he just gave the Third Shoe Factory a development plan and never looked at it again.
After all, he was already on vacation at that time, how could he take the initiative to take on these tasks?
The security officer at the door looked at his work ID card carefully and then stood in awe.
He also helped guide the location of Director Chu’s office, which was quite enthusiastic.
"Thank you, comrade."
After thanking the other party, Zhou Jimin drove inside.
Following the guidance just now, he found Director Chu's office.
Factory Director Chu, who is busy making phone calls, has a shiny face. He hasn’t seen him for half a year. He has gained more than ten kilograms, right?
Anyway, a face is at least a full circle.
When I looked up and saw it was Zhou Jimin, Director Chu was so excited that he hung up the phone without caring whether the person on the other end would be angry.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Jimin's hand with great excitement. He was shaking and almost speechless.
It wasn't until a while later that he said:
"Director Zhou, I have finally met you. You are really a great benefactor to our third shoe factory..."
The next time will be Director Chu’s performance time.
He said a lot of very excited words and said that he had approached Lu Qianxiang and wanted to thank Zhou Jimin in person.
But Lu Qianxiang said that Zhou Jimin was on vacation and would not bother him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The actual situation is that Lao Lin is anxious for Zhou Jimin to come up with the results of the aero-engine, so he does not want Director Chu to disturb Zhou Jimin.
After all, compared with supercomputer projects, inventions and creations such as aerospace engines that are immediately effective are what the mainland urgently needs.
Director Chu originally planned to find out where Zhou Jimin lived and then come to thank him in person.
Lu Qianxiang naturally noticed it, so he made a few cryptic remarks, and then gave up Director Chu's idea.
In addition to explaining this situation, Director Chu also talked a lot about the development of the third shoe factory.
Even before Zhou Jimin asked, the other party announced his family name, which saved him the trouble of asking.
When he came to the Third Shoe Factory, he naturally wanted to know about the situation of the Third Shoe Factory.
In the mainland, only the third shoe factory in Beijing is authorized for fluorescent children's shoes, and other factories are not authorized.
But even so, in just six months, the Third Shoe Factory swept the entire mainland and small island markets with a sweeping attitude.
When Zhou Jimin sold his technology to Kingsley, he did not include the mainland and small islands.
Therefore, the third shoe factory still dominates the market in these two places.
However, the actual situation is somewhat bizarre, which is why Zhou Jimin came to the Third Shoe Factory today.
Through Director Chu's narration, Zhou Jimin now also knows how terrifying the Third Shoe Factory is.
In December 1963, Zhou Jimin took 50,000 pairs of children's shoes to the southern island to look for opportunities.
In January 1964, the Third Shoe Factory received another order worth hundreds of thousands.
Under this situation, Factory Director Chu had to urgently apply to the superiors to expand the shoe factory.
The leaders are also aware of this situation and it is very urgent.
Therefore, the application was quickly reviewed and approved, and staff were dispatched to help coordinate. The subdistrict office and other units also assisted in coordination.
In just one month, it went from having more than 150 people to a large factory with more than 500 workers.
I originally thought that this situation might subside after the Spring Festival.
Who knows, it’s not like this at all, but an increase in orders.
After Zhou Jimin returned to the mainland at the end of January 1964, the sales work related to children's shoes was handed over to people from Dahua Company.
Dahua Company originally didn’t think that a pair of children’s shoes would sell well.
After all, at that time, Zhou Jimin sold tens of thousands pairs in a short period of time. They were still so expensive, and the market was almost saturated.
