The Aviation Group and ST countries have negotiated a $1 billion engine procurement agreement, which is definitely an unprecedented event in China.

A $1 billion agreement doesn't sound like it's too much, but in fact, it's a big order in the international market.

The benefits for Kunlun Type 2 engine are very considerable.

The Kunlun Type 2 engine has invested less than 20 million US dollars in research and development, and it can be said that it has almost no cost. You can make a profit by selling a few units. The unit price of the sale is still very high, 21 million US dollars. Compared with the top engine F135 in M ​​Country, the price is still a little worse, but it is already very high.

From a purely commercial perspective, it can be said that the profit is huge, and even the research and development expenses of Kunlun engines have been made back.

The research and development time of Kunlun engine is very long, but the total investment does not exceed 500 million US dollars.

Of course, the procurement of aircraft engines can be said to be military orders. We cannot only consider it from a commercial perspective, but also other things.

For example, technical issues.

wz-a2 is a "relegated" version of Zhao Yi's engine design. Many "black technologies" in design have been abandoned and changed to traditional designs that can be understood. It can be said that wz-a2 is the pinnacle of domestic aero engines that follows the design technology of the former Su-Lian and independently developed.

Even with a higher-end wz-a1 engine, the pinnacle of original technology will definitely not be easily given to people.

sT country completed the first step of cooperation and purchased 50 wz-a2 engines. The next step will definitely hope to cooperate in depth, hoping to put the manufacturing site within sT country and the two sides will cooperate in manufacturing.

The advantage is that if you can learn technology, you may learn how to manufacture engines, and at worst, you can improve the relevant technology in your country.

However, from a domestic perspective, the consideration must be to limit manufacturing to the domestic market and prevent sT from learning technology.

Of course.

If sT country is really willing to bleed heavily and sign a super big military purchase order, it is not impossible to consider allowing them to take advantage of some manufacturing technology. After all, there is already a wz-a1 engine, and the wz-a2 engine will not have a big impact.

In addition, the cost to be considered is Zhao Yi’s own ability.

The cost of development of the wz-a2 engine is low, mainly because it is designed by Zhao Yi. We will definitely need to increase investment in the future to improve it, but the starting point of the engine is already very high.

Therefore, at the internal celebration meeting, senior leaders named Zhao Yi and expressed their affirmation and praise, and the Aviation Group also stated that the agreement funds would be 10 million to support the War Eagle Group.

This is not capital, it can be controlled at any time.

Zhao Yi expressed his gratitude on the spot.

He didn't care whether it was money or not. Ten million was nothing to him, but the rest of the War Eagle Group were different. They were just ordinary scientific researchers, but they didn't have such a rich family background. Going back with bonuses would probably make the people in the War Eagle Group more motivated to devote themselves to their work.

The internal celebration is not only a celebration, but also determines the future export direction.

Liu Jiankun gave a report, saying that he would accelerate the research and development and improvement of wz-a2 and analyzed the future export direction.

wz-a2 is the main export type, and the more you sell, the better.

The Aviation Group's plan is to sell at least 400 units. The sT country will definitely help digest some of it, and the others will also strive for Eastern Europe, South America, Central Asia and the most important Middle-East orders.

"If you can sell more than 500 units, the profit will become very considerable."

"After the technology is improved, we know that the production cost will be greatly reduced. With the current situation in the international aviation field, Kunlun Type 2 engines are enough to support exports in the next twenty years."

“…”

Zhao Yi attended the celebration and was very low-key throughout the whole process. He just stood up and said a few words when the senior leaders called it. He was just a spectator at other times.

There are many topics at the celebration, such as the J-40 and the wz-a2 engine, which are directly related to Zhao Yi.

However, Zhao Yi didn't feel much, because nothing unexpected happened.

The most shocking thing is the appearance of the J-40. Kunlun Type 2 engine is only included, but the performance of the J-40 is also very normal. During the first test flight, the J-40 can complete these actions, but Liu Jiankun was worried about the danger, so he did not conduct performance tests.

When everything is expected, there is nothing to be excited about.

Zhao Yi attended the celebration calmly and returned with the senior leaders.

halfway.

The senior leader asked strangely, "Academician Zhao, why do I feel that you are not excited at all...excited? J-40, but your hard work."

Zhao Yi said, "If I have a practical performance on orders, I will still be interested. It's just flying, and there is no improvement in the competition."

“…”

When the senior leader thought about it carefully, it was true that the news he got was that the War Eagle-1 was just installed with equipment and the original design had not changed.

Is this the reason to not be excited?

He was a little confused.

Zhao Yi said, "Actually, if the anti-gravity is exposed, it should be even more amazing, right?"

The senior leader nodded vigorously. He suddenly understood why Zhao Yi was not excited. Anti-gravity had been researched and several experiments were conducted. What's the big deal about the design of a fighter?

No matter how high-end the fighter design is, can it be stronger than the anti-gravity?

If anti-gravity technology is exposed, public opinion will not be like this now, and the world will be in an uproar, because everyone will know that science and technology will usher in qualitative breakthroughs and people's lives will undergo major changes as a result.

In addition, there will be a large shock in the international community, and anti-gravity technology may be affected by nuclear technology, which will have a greater impact.

What Zhao Yi cares about is indeed anti-gravity, but what he cares about is not technology, but principles, and theoretical research is the root of everything.

After the emergence of photon anti-gravity, theoretical research on space and particles will definitely make explosive breakthroughs.

The senior management also knows this.

Therefore, the theoretical research of space has been given an absolute support attitude, not only experiments, but also full support for funds, but also the personnel involved in the research have also undergone very strict screening and the theoretical technology is kept confidential at the highest level.

There are now four people in Zhao Yi's theoretical research and development team, including Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Professor Yan Zhiping from the Institute of High Energy.

Yan Zhiping is a newly involved.

Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Yan Zhiping are all top scholars in the research of particle mathematics in China. They cannot be said to be the top ones, but compared with other academicians of mathematics and physics in the science academies, they have a common feature, that is, they are not of high grade.

Although it is not the golden age for R&D, it is only a peak decline when it is less than fifty years old, and experience is enough to make up for the gap in inspiration.

Zhao Yi does need experienced and energetic helpers, not inspiring young scholars, because he does not need any inspiration. His research ideas and directions are guided by him, and his work is arranged by him.

Research continues.

When Yan Zhiping reported on the research progress that day, he said an interesting idea. When all the technicians of Gao Energy discussed the anti-gravity force, they talked about putting the anti-gravity device under the sea.

When there is an anti-gravity device under the sea, the gravity of the sea water above will be reduced, and the surrounding sea water will press on the middle, just like an upward airflow will form on land, and the sea water will also spray upwards.

Then build a power station on it that uses seawater jet power. After the ejected seawater hits the motor, it will be dispersed and fall, which seems to form an eternal generator.

When this idea was proposed, several people from the Institute of High Energy participated in the discussion.

Yan Zhiping also argued, but the end result was simply impossible, but he still told Zhao Yi about it.

Zhao Yi chuckled and shook his head.

Of course it is impossible.

The engine formed by seawater jet force cannot drive the anti-gravity device at all. If the seawater is dispersed in the air, some of it will definitely stay. It will continue to rise under the driving force, and eventually it will form a column composed of seawater.

In addition, it is not technically possible. As long as it is above the anti-gravity device, it will definitely be affected by the anti-gravity force. The generator set cannot be pushed by the injection force. It is only by relying on the effect of the anti-gravity force that electricity cannot be supplied to the anti-gravity device.

Even anti-gravity technology cannot produce permanent power generation devices.

After Zhao Yi heard the idea, he had a related physical discussion with Yan Zhiping. After that, he suddenly thought of a question.

What is the anti-gravity effect, or what is the space barrier consumed?

Among the basic laws of physics mastered, energy conservation is the principle of the universe, but space does not include within the four major forces, and space barriers are fields created by specific movements of high-energy photons. But it is certain that during the anti-gravity experiment, it can be easily discovered that the energy of high-energy photons has not been completely converted into heat, and a large part of them have disappeared.

This problem was not noticed at the beginning because there was no relevant energy detection. Later, the relevant personnel made detailed calculations of the complex data reported and found that during the experimental process, it is very likely that some of the energy disappeared.

‘Very likely’ is a kind of calculation, guess, not a certain thing, because the outer layer of the anti-gravity device is exposed to the air and does not have a device that completely blocks heat. It is impossible to calculate how much heat is dissipated in the air.

No one else cares about it yet, but Zhao Yi is very sure.

After listening to what Yan Zhiping said, he thought of this question again and immediately felt that he could dig deeper.

The energy of the photon disappeared out of thin air and was no longer in line with the conservation of energy.

So where did the energy go?

"Does the space barrier itself also require energy consumption?"

"Or it can be understood that only by consuming energy to fight space squeezing can the space barrier effect appear..."

"From this perspective, space itself can also be understood as an energy..."

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully.

How to understand space is really hard to imagine. It can be understood as energy, or as ‘sea water’ and ‘air’. Existence itself has ‘pressure power’.

Zhao Yi thought for a long time but had no results. He simply told his thoughts to several people in the group and asked them to think about it together.

The way of understanding space is important, and it may be possible to find a new direction for the next step of research.

...

It still takes time and inspiration to come up with results in theoretical research in space.

Zhao Yi just does research casually. It is best to make progress. There is no rush to make progress. After all, theoretical research is a long-term thing.

He went to the medical center that day.

In the laboratory, he cared about several more projects. Dr. Chen Qian was there, so he followed and looked at the experiments Chen Qian had done on the Cancer Cell Research Institute.

Recently, Chen Qian has been studying hard, and she found that the research is different from what she imagined and there is no pressure.
