Chapter 229: Taking a drone to participate in the international air show [Please subscribe]

"Designing a serrated tail nozzle convergent fin for the engine and then applying a special coating scheme can give the engine low infrared and radar characteristics, which can be said to further enhance the stealth of the aircraft."

"Professor Xu's design is so ingenious. Why didn't we think of it before?"

In the discussion room of Xijing Aero-Engine Group in the morning, after listening to Xu Yuan's supplement, Chang Hanping looked extremely excited as if he had discovered a new world.

And he is not the only one who has the same behavior.

Several other engineers at the seats were attracted by the turbofan engine optimization plan proposed by Xu Yuan.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Then they talked about the aspects of Xu Yuan's plan that excited them.

“I personally think the most impressive one is the three-dimensional vector thrust technology that Professor Xu just mentioned.”

"Using this technology, the thrust can be adjusted in multiple directions, which can greatly improve the maneuverability and flexibility of combat forces."

As soon as someone finished speaking, someone else took over the conversation.

"Although these technical solutions have made the requirements for the engine more stringent, once they are successfully developed, they will definitely become the most advanced domestically produced turbofan engine in the world."

"The key is to equip such an engine to enhance the overall performance of stealth drones."

"We at Xifa are least afraid of difficulties. I agree to optimize the drawings."

……

After reading the design drawings completed by Chang Hanping and his team, Xu Yuan made several optimization suggestions based on the stealth drone. He did not expect that the results would make the engineers present so excited.

But after hearing these words, he was completely relieved.

He believed that Xifa would definitely not let him down.

We will definitely be able to successfully complete the research and development of this turbofan engine.

In the following time, he did not interrupt to join the round of speeches until Chang Hanping stood up and made a solemn statement.

"Professor Xu, you can rest assured that we will be strict with ourselves and improve and test this engine many times, which will definitely not affect the progress of your project."

“I also believe that Chang Gong and everyone here can definitely develop this domestically produced turbofan engine.”

Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this and took over the conversation with great trust.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became lively.

You can even see everyone rubbing their hands in anticipation, wishing they could get to the workshop and start taking action right now.

In the end, the technical seminar lasted for three hours and the design of the turbofan engine was basically determined.

All that’s left is to make appropriate improvements and conduct more tests to ensure the high reliability of the engine.

Afterwards, Xu Yuan stayed in Xijing for a few more days to study and discuss some specific issues about the engine.

He returned to Yanjing only after confirming that the research and development of the stealth UAV turbofan engine was officially on track.

It’s October in a blink of an eye.

For domestic people, the most anticipated thing in October is the seven-day holiday.

For college students who have signed up for the Higher Education Press Cup Mathematical Modeling Competition, it is time to announce their results.

It is also a relatively important event in the domestic mathematics community.

Wednesday, October 2011, 10, School of Mathematics, Qinghua University.

Xu Yuan was sitting in a chair, calculating the relevant formulas of Hodge's conjecture on a piece of draft paper with a pen.

When he saw Liao Fangyi and Tang Shihong coming, he immediately stopped writing, stood up and walked over to greet them.

"Director Liao."

"teacher."

"You haven't been here for a while, come in and sit down."

With a smile on his face, he warmly invited them to sit down, then went to the water dispenser to get two glasses of water.

Unlike these middle-aged people, Xu Yuan did not have tea sets in his office.

"I know you're a busy man." Liao Fangyi first laughed and teased, then thought of something and asked, "Did we disturb you today?"

"Don't disturb me." Xu Yuan waved his hand quickly.

He also knew that normally no one would come to his office.

In addition to the fact that he often travels on business, everyone is also worried that they will disturb him and affect his thinking.

Since Liao Fangyi and Tang Shihong came here together today, they must have something to discuss.

So he asked directly: "Is there something going on in the hospital?"

"It's not a big deal. This year's Higher Education Press Cup expert interview will be held in our college, and the college wants you to serve as an expert judge." Liao Fangyi did not keep the secret and directly explained the matter to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan is naturally familiar with the Higher Education Press Cup, which is a mathematical modeling competition for college students held every September.

It can be called a good mathematics competition.

He had previously been invited by Professor Qi Tongxiang to serve as a judge in the Luyang City competition area.

As for what Liao Fangyi said, it was a national expert interview, and those who were able to participate in the interview would win first prize.

Through this expert interview, the highest award, the Higher Education Press Cup Award, will be selected.

And the Innovation Award, which was considered the runner-up.

With this thought in mind, Xu Yuan had no reason to hesitate and agreed immediately.

"no problem."

After all, this expert interview was conducted at Qinghua School of Mathematics, and as a senior professor of the School of Mathematics, he should have attended as a judge.

What's more, the entire expert interview only takes half a day, so it basically won't waste any time.

Seeing Xu Yuan agreed, a smile appeared on Liao Fangyi's face again.

"Well."

"I'll send you the specific process later."

After saying that, he stood up immediately, not intending to stay any longer.

At this time, Tang Shihong next to him smiled and said, "After the expert group interviews are finished in the morning, the Higher Education Press Cup Awards will be announced in the afternoon, and the official media will report on it at that time."

In his opinion, Xu Yuan is essentially a mathematician, and the entire mathematics community is paying attention to Xu Yuan.

I want to see the outcome of Xu Yuan’s challenge to Hodge’s conjecture.

As a result, all the activities Xu Yuan attended were in the aerospace field, so he would naturally show up more in the mathematics field if he had the chance.

Although Xu Yuan has never participated in the Higher Education Society Cup as a student, he is familiar with the corresponding procedures and regulations.

After hearing what Tang Shihong said, he nodded immediately.

-

three days later.

The winning teams from various universities came to the School of Mathematics of Qinghua University in groups.

When arriving at the rest area to wait for the interview and defense, many teams also started communicating with each other.

The most discussed topic was the judges of this expert interview.

"Which school are you from? I heard that Professor Xu is one of the expert judges this time. Will this make the interview more difficult?"

"Mr. Xu is a professor at Qinghua School of Mathematics. This interview will be held at Qinghua School of Mathematics. Mr. Xu should be present as a judge."

"I hope the questions Professor Xu asks later won't be too difficult."

"I would really like to be asked questions by Professor Xu. I don't usually have the opportunity to meet my idol."

"look forward to."

“It’s worth it even if I’m not selected to be interviewed by a Fields Medal winner.”

……

For those teams that won the first prize, they are often more interested in mathematics.

And they are also known as academic masters in the class.

Because of these labels, everyone basically regards Xu Yuan as an idol in life.

After all, Xu Yuan is so outstanding.

It is undoubtedly an exciting thing to be interviewed by your idol.

However, some people expressed concern about this, believing that given Xu Yuan's achievements in mathematics, the questions he asked would certainly be much more difficult, and they would definitely not be able to perform normally if they really encountered such questions.

In this way, the probability of winning the Higher Education Press Cup Award is low.

While the participating teams were anxiously waiting in the waiting area, the expert jury was also happily communicating.

The expert judges for this meeting were Xu Yuan and Tang Shihong from Qinghua, while Academician Ma Zhiming was naturally in charge from Yenching University.

And the selected members of the Mathematics Council.

By the way, Xu Yuan has already been a director of the National Mathematical Council, and after Ma Zhiming retires, he will sooner or later become the chairman to promote the development and progress of domestic mathematics.

"I've heard that you were going to study the Hodge conjecture, but I didn't have time to ask for the details."

"Any progress now?"

Backstage, Ma Zhiming asked Xu Yuan about Hodge's guess, his eyes and expression revealing strong expectations.

Hearing this, the other people nearby also looked towards Xu Yuan.

no way.

The allure of Hodge's conjecture is too great.

As the most abstract mathematical problem in the world, whoever can prove it will leave a significant mark in the history of human civilization.

The key point is that by then, the authority of the domestic mathematics community will once again undergo new changes.

It is completely at the forefront of mathematics and leads the development of mathematics in human civilization.

They were all looking forward to Xu Yuan's completion.

Xu Yuan was not surprised when Ma Zhiming asked him about Hodge's conjecture.

After all, his challenge to the Hodge conjecture was basically no secret in the overseas mathematics community.

However, most mathematicians are not optimistic about his choice of research on the Hodge conjecture.

Deligne is an exception.

Although his research on the Hodge conjecture is currently in trouble, it is not something to be embarrassed about.

So he organized his words a little and began to answer.

"We are still looking for more suitable proof ideas and methods. It is not so easy to solve the Hodge conjecture."

"I discussed this with Professor Deligne before, and I gained something."

"Next, I will continue to look for ways to derive it."

Ma Zhiming nodded repeatedly as he listened to Xu Yuan's words.

Of course he knew that Xu Yuan would not be able to solve the Hodge conjecture so quickly, otherwise it would not be recognized by the mathematical community as the most abstract problem in the world.

Mainly, he wanted to see Xu Yuan's confidence and whether he would give up when faced with difficulties.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan is very determined in this regard.

"The Hodge conjecture is the most abstract of several difficult mathematical problems in the world. Many famous mathematicians in history have tried to prove it but failed, so it is normal that there has been little progress in a short period of time."

"But I believe you can achieve results."

"Take it easy."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xu Yuan listened to everything Ma Zhiming said, then nodded and responded in a deep voice.

"I see."

Then Xu Yuan exchanged a few words with the others, and when the time was about to start, they went to the judges' seats together.

In this year's Higher Education Press Cup Mathematical Modeling, the two undergraduate questions were the analysis of heavy metal pollution in urban surface soil and the setting up and dispatching of the traffic police service platform.

Xu Yuan had already taken time to look at the questions and the group modeling paper for the expert interview two days ago.

There is no pressure at all to be a judge.

As the expert interview officially began in the morning, Xu Yuan also asked questions to the participants from some important angles.

And I will also add my own guidance.

The normal expert interview went on and was completed relatively smoothly.

In addition, the final list of this year's Higher Education Press Cup Awards was determined through the joint decision of the expert jury.

and the Runner-Up Innovation Award.

Then at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the list was officially announced.

At this point in the process, the students in each participating group also relaxed.

They all pulled Xu Yuan to ask for autographs and take photos.

In contrast, around other judges such as Ma Zhiming, it was hard to see even a single student.

But they were in a good mood. Several people gathered together and looked very happy when they saw Xu Yuan who was surrounded in the middle.

Who made Xu Yuan so famous and we are of the same age?

Naturally more popular.

Xu Yuan felt everyone's enthusiasm and was not stingy. He signed autographs for every student.

This unusually harmonious scene was also captured by reporters on the scene.

As the news about the Higher Education Press Cup awards came out, netizens' attention also fell on Xu Yuan.

Not only did it quickly become a hot topic, but it also increased everyone's attention to the Higher Education Press Cup.

Because Xu Yuan has a drainage effect.

There were even quite a few students who did not sign up for the Higher Education Press Cup and expressed their regret in the comment section.

"Professor Xu actually served as an expert judge for the Higher Education Press Cup this year. If I had known this, I would have signed up to participate."

"I can even ask for autographs and take photos with you. I'm so envious."

"I regret it!"

"Don't you think that if you sign up, you will have a chance to get a spot in the panel expert interview?"

"I signed up with my classmates, but unfortunately I only won second prize."

……

The Higher Education Press Cup can only be regarded as a small episode. After the announcement of the list of Higher Education Press Cup Awards and Innovation Awards, this year's College Students Mathematical Modeling Competition has officially come to an end.

As time passes by.

This year, Xu Yuan returned home for the Spring Festival again, accompanied his parents to buy New Year's goods, and posted Spring Festival couplets and burned incense to worship his ancestors on New Year's Eve.

But I don’t know if it’s because I’ve grown up, but I’m not as excited about the New Year as I was when I was a child.

It's more like going through a process.

As for the period after the New Year, he and Chen Yuran did not stay long. After returning to Yanjing, they went to pay New Year's greetings to their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

During this period, he was naturally and inevitably called to the study by Chen Jianfang.

"This year, the Space Technology Research Institute will launch a lunar rover for the first time, and will then solicit names for the rover from the public."

"This launch is a key step in the second phase of the lunar exploration project and is of great significance to the development of the entire lunar exploration project."

Chen Jianfang sat on the chair in the study and introduced the projects carried out by the Space Technology Research Institute to Xu Yuan in a deep voice.

After all, although Xu Yuan is a researcher at the Space Technology Research Institute, he does not stay in the institute every day, so he cannot always know the research and development progress of some projects.

The full name of the lunar rover is the Lunar Surface Probe, which is capable of traveling on the surface of the moon.

Complete his tasks of exploration, investigation, collection and analysis.

The most important thing is to achieve the ultimate goal of the lunar exploration project.

Manned landing on the moon.

The lunar rover is the essential key.

Currently, the construction of the Tiangong space station is in full swing, and is mainly undertaken by the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute.

The Space Technology Research Institute has successfully launched the Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 lunar probes, and its technology can be said to be relatively mature.

This time, Chang'e 3 will carry a lander to successfully send the lunar rover to the lunar surface.

When Xu Yuan heard that the hospital was soliciting names from the public, he suddenly had an idea and responded.

"I think the name Jade Rabbit is quite suitable."

"Yutu..." Chen Jianfang muttered to himself when he heard it.

Then his eyes lit up and he said:

"This is a good name. I'll ask them to add it later and see which one netizens like."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly when he heard that, then he thought of something and asked again.

"Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Just focus on your own tasks this time." Chen Jianfang waved his hand and said, "We have experience in launching lunar probes. Although we will be sending a lander to the moon to transport a lunar rover this time, the relevant plans have been verified through simulations and we are confident that they will be a complete success."

The lunar probe was the project they were responsible for, and they had experience of two previous successful launches.

There's really nothing to worry about.

In addition, as the construction of the space station progresses, domestic aerospace technology is developing rapidly.

Perhaps we are still some distance away from achieving manned lunar landing, but other tasks are basically within our grasp.

After listening to Chen Jianfang's words, Xu Yuan didn't say anything. He didn't have to participate in the project of the Space Technology Research Institute for the time being. He could prioritize his time on the stealth drone project and the proof of the Hodge conjecture in the field of mathematics.

After that, Xu Yuan and Chen Jianfang talked about some work matters until Su Meihong and Chen Yuran called out from outside, and then the two of them went out and sat down to eat.

In the blink of an eye, it is May.

Thanks to Xu Yuan's efforts, the proof of Hodge's conjecture finally reached 20%.

Although we are still a long way from the final proof, it undoubtedly gives people hope.

I believe that as long as we continue to deduce, we may be able to complete the proof of the Hodge conjecture in less than two years.

On that day, Xu Yuan was in his office, reviewing a paper submitted to the Journal of Mathematics.

Perhaps he was not satisfied with some parts of the paper, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"The idea is clear and the logic is rigorous, but the method used is not very clever."

“There’s a lot of room for improvement.”

About half an hour later, he muttered to himself, gave his comments on the paper, and then put his hands on the keyboard to reply.

I hope the author of the paper can revise it, but I have not chosen to accept it.

Judging from the signature of the author of the paper, the other party is from Oxford University and is a doctoral student studying abroad.

Strictly speaking, this paper on differential geometry is not particularly bad.

It does have some value.

If it were the previous Journal of Mathematics, it would definitely be accepted directly and published in the latest journal.

But now the standards of the Journal of Mathematics have already been aligned with the four top journals in the field of mathematics.

The requirements are naturally much higher.

However, he would still be happy to let the Journal of Mathematics publish this paper if the other party could modify the application methods of the paper.

Just as he was about to review the next paper, someone suddenly knocked on his office door.

Hearing the sound, he had to stop what he was doing temporarily and slowly raised his eyes.

"Please come in."

The voice just fell.

Then two figures pushed the door and walked in.

Xu Yuan, who was walking in front, was no stranger to him. He was none other than Zhang Jin, the dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Yenching University.

It can be said that the other party’s help was indispensable in solving the problem of high-performance carbon fiber composite materials so quickly.

As for the other person, he is relatively unfamiliar.

The man looked to be about 40 years old. He was wearing a thin black jacket and a pair of narrow-framed glasses, exuding an elegant temperament.

But since Zhang Jin brought this person here, there must be something going on.

So he didn't ask anything proactively, but immediately stood up with a smile on his face, and greeted Zhang Jin enthusiastically.

"Hello, Dean Zhang."

Zhang Jin did not keep anyone in suspense about this. He shook hands with Xu Yuan and immediately started introducing them.

"Xu Yuan, let me introduce you. This is Professor Zou Jing, from your School of Materials Science and Engineering."

"A professor from our School of Materials?" Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard that.

Subconsciously, he looked at the other person again.

After all, he had been in Qinghua for several years. Although he didn't know all the professors in various departments of the school, he should have had some impression of them.

But I felt very unfamiliar with Professor Zou Jing mentioned by Zhang Jin.

Even though I searched my memory several times, I still couldn't find such a person in Qinghua Materials Institute.

As if seeing Xu Yuan's confusion, Zou Jing hurriedly took over the conversation with a smile and began to explain.

"It's like this. In the past two years, I was sent by the institute to an overseas laboratory for exchange and study. I just returned to China recently to start my research project."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly realized: "So that's what's going on."

"Professor Zou, welcome back to China."

"Thank you." Zou Jing stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Yuan.

Although he has been living abroad for the past two years, he has heard the name Xu Yuan just as many times as in China.

Therefore, he admires geniuses like Xu Yuan very much.

Then, when several people sat down on the sofa, Zhang Jin took the initiative to explain in detail.

"The main reason why we are here today is that after returning to China, Professor Zou established a battery laboratory in the Institute of Materials, responsible for the research project on power battery technology."

"Originally, he found me because he wanted to cooperate with our institute in joint research and development."

"But I think of your talent in materials research and I think this project is most suitable for you."

"So I recommended you to Professor Zou."

Since Xu Yuan mastered the high-performance carbon fiber composite material technology in a short period of time last time, it can be said that he left a very deep impression on Zhang Jin.

I believe Xu Yuan can definitely be called a genius in the field of materials.

To a certain extent, the talent they possess is much higher than that in other subject areas.

After all, the research and development of each advanced material requires a huge sunk cost. Even if a lot of tasks are completed in the early stage, all the previous efforts will be wasted as long as one key step goes wrong.

Unable to obtain the desired materials.

So after seeing Xu Yuan successfully master the technology of high-performance carbon fiber composite materials, the first thought that came to his mind was that he hoped Xu Yuan could continue to delve deeper into the field of materials.

Develop more excellent basic materials and overcome the current problems faced by the materials field.

But the reality is that Xu Yuan no longer participated in material research and development projects afterwards.

This is undoubtedly a huge loss to the materials industry.

It was because of this situation that he learned about the project cooperation from Zou Jing.

Xu Yuan was recommended immediately.

The main thought was that since it was Qinghua's own project, the probability of convincing Xu Yuan to help was very high.

Zou Jing next to him seemed happy to cooperate with Xu Yuan as well.

Almost as soon as Zhang Jin finished speaking, he immediately took over the conversation and added something.

"If Dean Zhang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Professor Xu had made such great achievements in the field of materials."

"From the material testing data report provided by President Zhang, the performance of the high-performance carbon fiber composite materials you have developed has surpassed that of the most technologically advanced carbon fiber companies overseas."

Xu Yuan listened to the two people in front of him singing the same tune, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Thinking that the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute had just stabilized, he could devote himself to the proof of Hodge's conjecture, so he ended up getting himself a battery research project.

He really doesn't have time to rest.

But it must be said that studying power batteries at this time does interest him.

At present, the country is making every effort to promote the development of new energy vehicles. Not only has it provided subsidies and preferential treatment in various aspects, but it has also specially introduced Tesla, a well-known overseas electric car brand.

However, due to the insufficient battery life of new energy electric vehicles, related technologies are still in the exploratory stage.

In addition, people's mindset towards gasoline vehicles has not changed.

Although some domestic automobile brands have launched their own new energy electric vehicles, they have not caused much response.

For most car brands, new energy electric vehicles are not optimistic.

I always believe that the future will still be dominated by gasoline vehicles.

In such an environment, it is indeed rare for Zou Jing to establish a battery laboratory and study power batteries.

The thought stayed here, and after a slight hesitation he took the initiative to ask.

"Professor Zou."

"I wonder what direction you are researching?"

"Lithium iron phosphate battery." Zou Jing replied immediately after hearing this.

He added: "Although lithium iron phosphate batteries were developed in the 1980s, I think they still have great potential, so I want to increase their energy density and service life by continuing to study them."

After listening to Zou Jing's words, Xu Yuan was more in agreement with this point of view.

He is not unfamiliar with lithium iron phosphate batteries. It can be said that as long as all-solid-state batteries are not popularized, lithium iron phosphate batteries will be the mainstay of power batteries.

It has excellent performance in terms of battery life, lifespan and safety performance.

Of course, the current lithium iron phosphate technology is still relatively limited, and there is indeed great potential that has not been tapped.

"Lithium iron phosphate batteries are indeed the best choice for new energy electric vehicles in the next decade or so."

"I also believe that as new energy electric vehicle technology develops, its sales volume will gradually exceed that of traditional gasoline vehicles."

Recalling what he knew, Xu Yuan subconsciously responded to Zou Jing's idea.

But this sentence made Zou Jing excited.

Then he asked, "Professor Xu, are you also optimistic about lithium iron phosphate batteries?"

"I didn't expect that you also have research in the field of batteries. It's just right that we can cooperate in the research and development of this project." Zhang Jin couldn't help but reply after listening to the conversation between the two.

Although Xu Yuan is interested in lithium iron phosphate batteries, he has not specifically studied battery technology.

So I thought about it and said:

"I'm really sorry, Professor Zou. Although I am optimistic about lithium iron phosphate batteries, I don't have any relevant research experience in this area."

He thought that after he said this, Zou Jing would choose to give up and find someone else to cooperate with.

As a result, instead of seeing any sign of giving up in Zou Jing's eyes, his gaze became even more determined.

Just as my thought stopped here, I heard the other party talking about this matter quite sincerely.

"The research on battery technology also includes mathematics, physics and chemistry. I believe that with the participation of Professor Xu, the research on the lithium iron phosphate battery project will be very smooth."

As Zou Jing said, the research on battery technology includes more than just the field of materials.

Xu Yuan's knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry can all be put to use in the research process.

Seeing that Zou Jing had already said so much, it would be inappropriate to refuse. After all, as they were both professors at Qinghua University, it was normal for them to cooperate and help each other on a project.

After a little thought, Xu Yuan finally agreed.

"OK then."

"When I have time, I will go to the battery laboratory in the institute and take a look. I hope I can be of some help."

"Thank you so much, Professor Xu. I'll send you a copy of the relevant information when I get back." When Zou Jing heard Xu Yuan's answer, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he responded excitedly.

As for Zhang Jin, who was sitting next to him, he was also very happy to see Xu Yuan getting involved in the field of materials again.

Before leaving, he did not forget to congratulate Zou Jing.

"Congratulations, Professor Zou. With Professor Xu's help, I believe your project will make progress in no time."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Zou Jing nodded with a smile.

……

It has to be said that Zou Jing's efficiency is indeed very high. Not long after Xu Yuan left the office with Zhang Jin, he received relevant information and progress on the lithium iron phosphate battery research project.

Thinking that since I had already agreed to help Zou Jing, I must take necessary actions.

So that afternoon, he began to study the information.

I even read some literature papers on lithium iron phosphate batteries.

that's it.

The next few months.

In addition to continuing to derive the proof of Hodge's conjecture, he would also visit the battery laboratory established by Zou Jing in the Institute of Materials from time to time.

Unfortunately, compared with the original performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries, the laboratory research did not show much improvement.

It is equivalent to being stuck in a research and development dilemma.

However, Xijing Aero-Engine Group brought Xu Yuan some good news.

After several improvements to the turbofan engine drawings, the performance of the turbofan engines produced was significantly improved.

And successfully realized three-dimensional vector thrust technology.

Although it is still under testing, it will probably not be delayed too long before it is officially delivered.

Thursday, August 2012, 8, Qinghua University.

“Based on current research, we want to improve the energy density of lithium iron phosphate batteries while taking into account battery safety and service life.”

"The most appropriate approach is to optimize the design of the battery structure, increase space utilization and extend battery life."

"In addition, the structural design needs to increase the heat dissipation area to reduce heat accumulation and ensure stable battery performance."

……

In a corner of the library, Xu Yuan was thinking about the optimization plan for lithium iron phosphate batteries.

As the design plan gradually became more complete, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

During the past three months, seeing that Zou Jing's project research had not made any progress, he wondered if he could help more, so he looked through the literature and research on his own.

Finally, with the help of the changes in the panel progress bar, a new structural solution was successfully designed for the lithium iron phosphate battery.

In his structural design proposal, he directly skipped the module and integrated the battery cells into a battery pack, so that the battery pack has more space to arrange the battery cells and the overall energy density can be increased.

In addition, the new structural design has a more reasonable heat dissipation area, which helps to ensure stable battery performance and increase battery life.

In addition, lithium iron phosphate material has very high thermal stability under extreme environments.

Not prone to thermal runaway.

Even if the battery is punctured or squeezed, it is less likely to smoke or catch fire.

Avoid potential safety hazards under high temperature.

However, the specific effect of this structural design scheme can only be known after actual experiments.

After seeing that the design plan was almost complete, Xu Yuan did not waste any more time. He put the things on the table into his backpack, and immediately stood up and walked towards the floor where the battery laboratory was located.

-

"Hello, Professor Xu."

"Professor Xu, you are here."

As soon as Xu Yuan arrived at the battery laboratory, he heard several doctoral students under Zou Jing greeting him.

After all, he had been here many times before and was familiar with them.

Hearing this, he responded to them with a smile on his face, and then started asking again.

"Where is your Professor Zou?"

"The instructor should be in the library right now." One of the doctoral students wearing glasses immediately replied.

Xu Yuan nodded: "Then you guys continue with your work, I'll be there by myself."

After saying this, without stopping, he immediately walked towards the nearby data room with familiar steps.

Soon when Zou Jing's figure came into sight, Xu Yuan did not keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point to state the purpose of his visit today.

"Professor Zou."

"The structural optimization design I mentioned earlier is complete. Do you think it is feasible?"

"It's done so quickly!" Zou Jing was suddenly surprised when he heard Xu Yuan's words.

Without any hesitation, he hurried over to take the plan document from Xu Yuan and studied it carefully with an extremely focused expression.

He had heard Xu Yuan mention this idea before. The biggest advantage was that he didn't have to worry about the materials.

However, it is not easy to design a better battery structure, so he prefers to find more suitable material alternatives to increase the energy density of the battery.

It is too difficult to take into account both life span and safety.

Otherwise the cost is too high.

But he never expected that Xu Yuan's efficiency would be so fast.

It seems that it took less than two months from the time this plan was first proposed to the completion of the structural design.

It's really eye-catching.

While once again confirming his genius status, it also shows that Xu Yuan is very serious about this project.

In this case, it will definitely be given extra attention.

Xu Yuan did not disturb Zou Jing at this time. He found a chair and sat down and waited patiently.

After all, he had the verification of the progress bar on the panel, so he was quite confident in his plan.

To some extent, he is taking a different approach.

Otherwise, if we really want to find a completely new material to replace it, I’m afraid it will take a long time from research and development to testing and then to commissioning.

By that time, the domestic power battery market will probably have been seized by overseas companies.

If that is the case, it would be better to directly research all-solid-state batteries and thoroughly promote the battery revolution.

Of course, all-solid-state batteries are still a long way off. Whether in terms of materials, technology or cost, there is no way to popularize all-solid-state batteries.

With the gradual development of science and technology, the revolution in the battery field must be completed at an appropriate time.

Zou Jing studied the battery structure design carefully. As time passed, the expression on his face changed significantly.

From the calmness at the beginning, to the constant flashes of surprise in the eyes, and then to the increasingly bright eyes at the end.

Another half hour passed.

Zou Jing suddenly raised his eyes and said excitedly, "Skipping the module and integrating the battery cells directly into the battery pack, plus the new battery structure and heat dissipation, this is simply a genius design."

"I'm going to conduct experiments right away. If all goes well, the battery performance is estimated to be at least three times better."

"This is a paper that can be published in Science Nature and can promote the development of our power battery technology."

After watching Zou Jing's performance, Xu Yuan also showed a faint smile on his face.

Obviously his plan was approved by Zou Jing.

If you think about it carefully, although he has published many academic papers in top journals in the field of mathematics, he has not published any papers in Science and Nature, the two most authoritative international journals.

It would be a good experience if I could be included based on this battery structure design.

However, he was unable to conduct the subsequent specific experiments with Zou Jing.

After all, the international air show is about to be held, and he will bring the institute's Wing Loong UAV to the exhibition and will stay in Zhuhai for the next week.

As for this international air show, both he and Liang Zhanjun and others from the institute have been looking forward to it since the beginning of the year.

In addition to the fact that the Wing Loong UAV will be officially unveiled and announce to the world what is the most advanced UAV in the world, the more important point is that after research and decision from above, the request for Wing Loong to sell to other countries has been successfully approved.

Everyone also hopes that the Wing Loong can become the sales champion at this air show and test its actual combat capabilities overseas.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yuan said truthfully: "I will attend this international air show next, so I can't help with the subsequent battery structure experiments and tests. I can only rely on you to complete it."

"Your ability to design this battery structure plan is already the greatest help to this project."

After listening to Xu Yuan's words, Zou Jing shook his head and said gratefully:

"Leave the rest to me. I promise to complete the experiments on the new battery structure and the related papers as soon as possible. I hope you won't mind having my name as the first author."

Now he finally understood why Zhang Jin had praised Xu Yuan, a mathematician, so highly.

Xu Yuan then discussed the details of the structural design plan with Zou Jing, and then returned to the office without further delay.

The next few days.

As discussions about this international air show gradually increased online.

The entire Wing Loong drone, which had completed its full body painting, was also safely transported to the International Air Show Center, waiting to shock the world on the opening day!
