Ji Yuan had just entered the National Security Department when a group of old men rushed over, nearly startling him.
"Leader, what is this?" Ji Yuan looked at the crowd surrounding him, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.
The leader hurriedly asked everyone to disperse; he didn't want his precious gem from the National Security Department to feel wronged.
"You, go brew a cup of Da Hong Pao! It's in my office drawer," the leader casually pointed to someone to give orders.
Ji Yuan's brow twitched; he thought to himself that offering favors without reason could only mean trouble.
"Why does this taste different from what my father makes?" Ji Yuan blew on the tea, took a sip, and exclaimed, "This tastes much better than what my father buys."
The National Security leader shot him a glare: "That goes without saying. Your father may have spent a lot of money, but he only bought inferior products. This is tea made from the mother plant of Da Hong Pao; the state allocates me two taels every year."
Ji Yuan smacked his lips, wanting to say something but ultimately lacking the courage.
"Don't worry! In a while, you'll also enjoy this treatment," the leader patted his shoulder with a caring expression.
Ji Yuan set the teacup down on the coffee table. "Alright, just tell me what you need; no need to beat around the bush."
Subtly, he glanced at the group of experts and professors, who looked serious yet somewhat old-fashioned.
"Hehe, we've encountered a problem here, and we were hoping you could help us out, Chief Ji," the leader of the National Security Department said with rare embarrassment. "You’ve only just had a few days off... but they really can’t handle it!"
Ji Yuan's expression turned serious for a moment. "What project?"
"Special Steel."
The National Security Department leader quickly added, "It's for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers."
"Our Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier has developed to this extent?"
"It's still early days!" The leader sat down next to him and vented his frustrations.
Research in this field is like that; once you hit a bottleneck, it can take three to five years to yield any results. But once inspiration strikes, everything can flow smoothly.
Ji Yuan understood. A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is no joke; it involves many advanced technologies. The core technologies can be broadly categorized into: shipboard nuclear power technology, electromagnetic catapult technology, and Electromagnetic Interception Technology. Besides the core technologies, the requirements for other peripheral technologies are also quite high. Blindly using structural steel materials is just one of the peripheral technologies.
However, the materials science of Eastern powers has always been one of their weaknesses. Even with long-term efforts to catch up, the situation remains grim!
Half an hour later, Ji Yuan walked into the laboratory with a group of senior experts. He approached the workbench, looking at the high-quality and abundant chemical materials and the brand-new precision instruments. Taking a deep breath, he began his preparations.
Steel used in aircraft carriers is generally divided into three categories: hull steel, armor steel, and structural steel. Among them, the most challenging to develop is the deck steel within structural steel because it is a critical component for aircraft takeoff and landing, which demands exceptionally high standards.
This is also why these experts have repeatedly struggled to break through this key step in aircraft carrier steel development. Ji Yuan didn't waste much time; he started up a small forging furnace and immediately got to work, continuously adding substances from his self-derived list of chemical materials into the molten steel...
As the furnace continued its operation, the transformation of the molten steel began to take shape. Once the steel was formed, Ji Yuan started testing it.
"The yield strength has reached 502 MPa!"
"This is almost comparable to the most advanced HLSA-115 Special Steel in today's world!"
"Unfortunately, it still failed. A slight deviation led to a significant error, and it still did not meet the requirements for the Aircraft Carrier deck Special Steel..."
When an expert makes a move, you can tell right away whether they have the skill or not.
In a short period, Ji Yuan forged materials comparable to the most advanced commercial Special Steel in the world, making a group of veteran experts as happy as children.
As for not being able to forge steel that meets the specifications for Aircraft Carrier deck special steel in one go, that was entirely within their expectations.
Experiments are filled with various uncertainties, and luck is undoubtedly very important in scientific research.
Relatively speaking, Ji Yuan's ability to forge steel comparable to HLSA-115 in such a short time was already beyond their expectations.
Ji Yuan took the material list and calculated for about half a quarter of an hour, making adjustments to each material ratio before starting the second round of steelmaking.
During the second attempt, Ji Yuan appeared much more familiar with the process and successfully produced steel with a strength of 602 MPa under excellent conditions.
Although it still did not meet the standards, it indicated that he was gradually finding his direction; achieving real results was merely a matter of time.
