Chapter 190 Progress
The plan that Carl and others had in mind was actually very simple.
That is, the aerodynamic layout of the MiG-25 will not be changed, but the materials of the MiG-25 will undergo a comprehensive upgrade and transformation.
They spent a week at Flying Fish’s headquarters before heading to Sea Snail New Materials in Negros Island.
Carl met Li Qingye here.
Li Qingye is currently conducting experiments here and guiding the company's technology transformation work.
Karl, with an excited expression, shook Li Qingye's hand and said, "Mr. Chairman, it's a great honor to meet you! I am Karl Lovsky."
"Hello! Are you Carl who came from Antonov Company before?" Li Qingye has a very good memory.
Karl woke up from his dream and quickly let go of his hand: “Yes, I came here recently to study and exchange.”
"You should have thought of the improvement plan for the MiG-25, right?" Li Qingye pointed to the breeding pool behind him.
Karl nodded: "Yes, I understand the chairman's intention. After discussing with several colleagues, I plan not to change the aerodynamic layout, but to upgrade the materials of the components."
Pah pah pah…
Li Qingye clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Very good, Engineer Carl, you understand my idea. At this stage, the company does not have much energy and scientific research capabilities, so we need to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."
His encouragement and recognition made Carl and others even more excited.
After talking for a while, Karl looked at the rows of cultivation pools of different sizes and said, "Mr. Chairman, are these pools where parts are produced?"
"Well, these cultivation pools can cultivate spare parts of various specifications. Currently, this base can produce 15 kinds of materials. Here is the list of materials. You can take a look."
Li Qingye glanced at the research assistant beside him.
The assistant quickly took out his tablet and handed it to Karl.
Karl didn't hesitate to take it and started flipping through it skillfully.
[Absorbing type—nano high carbon steel…], [Heat-resistant type—nano high manganese molybdenum steel…], [Strength type—nano high manganese chromium steel…], [Ultra-light type—titanium manganese steel…], [Heat-resistant type—iron-molybdenum nano-ceramics…], [Comprehensive type—nano titanium-zinc-aluminum…]
He looked very carefully, examining almost all the properties of each material before passing it to others.
"These materials are very good and can basically be used to modify engines and aircraft bodies, but we need to make secondary adjustments to the production line."
The transformation and adjustment of the production line is inevitable, after all, it is an antique from decades ago.
Li Qingye didn't care too much: "It doesn't matter, just follow your pace."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman. I will do my best to complete the integration of the production line before June." Carl replied very seriously.
Li Qingye didn't mention a fixed time because he didn't want to put too much pressure on them: "Take care of your health, don't push yourself."
"I'm still in good health and can serve the company for at least another 20 years." Carl was like a soldier.
"I feel your loyalty, but you can still take your leave as usual. This is an order."
"Yes, Mr. Chairman."
Li Qingye patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's take a look at the production process of the parts of these cultivation tanks!"
"It's my honor." Carl hurried to follow.
These cultivation ponds are divided into areas and divided according to specifications.
There are a large number of genetically modified corals inside. They grow tirelessly. With sufficient nutrient solution, and the induction of various specific hormones and pheromones, coupled with genes and molds, they grow rapidly along specific forms.
It can grow several dozen centimeters thick every day .
Some small parts can be grown in just a few hours.
Especially for ceramic-based materials, the growth rate is the fastest.
The scale of the entire factory is also expanding rapidly.
However, in order to reduce attention, the factory here has been fixed, and the new factory is set up on the other side of the mountain, connected by an underground tunnel. The factory there is also arranged under the green umbrella system.
At the same time, a second branch was opened in the mountains in northern Luzon Island.
In the future, the demand for spare parts in Hongsavadi will be met by setting up a third branch.
As he was browsing the area, Carl suddenly had an idea: "Mr. Chairman, these genetically modified coral polyps can be used to make composite materials, right?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" Li Qingye turned his head with a little confusion.
"In the future, is it possible to grow complete products directly in the cultivation pool? This way, a lot of unnecessary production lines can be reduced." Carl replied with an open mind.
Li Qingye smiled and said, "This is a direction for technological development, but it is too complex a product. There is still no way to achieve the level of complete cultivation pool generation in a short period of time."
"I believe in the talent of the chairman." Karl was full of confidence in Li Qingye.
The group studied new material cultivation technology, which had a very good inspiration for their future design of new aircraft.
It's like using a piece of tofu to make a simulated dish. No matter how well it's made, it's still just a piece of tofu.
And taking a piece of marbled beef, even if it is simply fried, can become a delicious dish.
The material basis actually has a huge impact on product design. Humans have many ingenious designs, but because the materials do not meet the requirements, they can only settle for the second best.
Now with so many good materials, even ordinary designs can achieve good results.
After having lunch together at noon, Li Qingye returned to his temporary manor.
As soon as he returned to the estate, Sanjibada Layal appeared before him.
"Sir, the hibernation chamber is ready."
"Um."
After taking a shower, he appeared in the basement hall wrapped in a towel.
There was a hibernation chamber on display here. He handed the towel to Sanjibada Layal, walked into the hibernation chamber, and slowly lay down.
Set the sleep mode to end at 2:30 pm and then start the sleep mode.
The transparent door of the hibernation chamber slowly closed, and suddenly a special light blue liquid flooded Li Qingye's body.
The special symbiotic virus hidden in his body was quickly activated by pheromones and began to produce a special polysaccharide. Every cell in his body quickly became silent, reducing life consumption to a minimum.
At this moment, Li Qingye was like a dormant tardigrade.
He used this method to replace sleep. The benefit of this hibernation is that his cells entered a state of minimum consumption. Combined with the maintenance of various drugs and nutrient solutions, the chromosome telomeres would hardly be damaged during the hibernation period.
This can effectively extend his lifespan. Before, Li Qingye had about 16 years left to live. After this treatment, he can now probably live about 21 years.
In addition, his high blood pressure, color blindness, and organ failure problems were also partially solved through biochips, new drug regulation, and transformative surgery, at least the symptoms were cured.
Li Qingye is not doing anything with his genes right now, mainly because gene therapy technology is too risky.
He also has clones as a backup plan, so he doesn't need to put all his eggs in one basket.
He also wants to try to restore the body by reversing the length of chromosome telomeres, which is currently the most promising option.
The hibernation capsule only borrows the special life mechanism of the tardigrade, and can only barely regain a portion of life from the sleep time .
