After a new round of simulation tasks in Shen Ye's group was completed, the data was submitted again.

Compared with the last time, the amount of data this time is more detailed, and basically all nickel-based alloy coatings of different specifications have been simulated.

Having said that, in essence, the experiment has not made much breakthrough.

Fan Liangzhong once again tactfully conveyed to Shen Ye that Su Yiguo was not satisfied with the simulation results.

Shen Ye had no choice but to consider changing to a different nickel-based material and conduct the simulation experiment again.

On Xu You's side, he once again had a new idea about titanium-aluminum alloy.

Xu You tried to add other elements to the titanium-aluminum alloy to improve the properties of the alloy.

Other elements that Xu You can think of include chromium, silicon, nickel and so on.

After adding new elements to the titanium-aluminum alloy, Xu You also performed the material simulation again.

According to Xu You's theory and simulation results, the addition of these elements can not only properly reduce the aluminum content, promote the formation of a uniform and dense Al2O3 oxide film, but also effectively prevent the diffusion of oxygen elements to the substrate.

Moreover, it is also less brittle and more plastic than the binary titanium-aluminum coating.

In this way, titanium alloys can be used at higher temperatures.

After completing the simulation test of material performance, Xu You turned to Xu Zhou again, asking Xu Zhou to help conduct real material experiments.

After all, the simulated situation may not be exactly the same as the actual experimental phenomenon.

It is possible that due to the inaccuracy of the simulated conditions, there may be different degrees of differences from the actual experimental results.

Of course, the benefits of simulation are also obvious.

If the simulation is accurate enough, a lot of experimental funds can be saved, and there is no need to conduct many unnecessary experiments.

After Xu Zhou received Xu You's request, he readily agreed to Xu You again to help Xu You conduct experiments.

Although there are more types of materials designed this time, because Xu You has passed the simulation in advance and limited many conditions to a small range, the amount of the entire experiment is still not large.

Not many days later, Xu Zhou fed back the experimental data to Xu You.

As Xu You expected, after adding these elements to the titanium-aluminum alloy, the performance of the coating material is indeed much better.

With the addition of different elements, the characteristics of the materials are not the same, but they are all very positive optimizations.

After receiving Xu Zhou's conclusion, Xu You finally had the confidence to achieve a better coating effect by changing the material.

Xu You just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to report his achievement to the superior.

On this day, Fan Liangzhong came to Shen Ye's office again.

Seeing Fan Liangzhong approaching, Shen Ye also smiled wryly, knowing that Su Yiguo must have asked Fan Liangzhong to remind him of the result.

"Professor Shen, Mr. Su means that if it doesn't work, you can try other materials. If nickel-based alloys don't work, there are other alloys that you can study."

Shen Ye was also a little helpless when he heard the words.

"Fan Gong, the nickel-based alloy coating is definitely the most mature coating now. Other types of coatings are not impossible, but if it is researched, the required period must be very long. Maybe several months It doesn’t necessarily produce any results.”

Fan Liangzhong was already prepared for this.

"What Mr. Su means is that time is not a problem. Anyway, our future projects will be in a period of several years, or even more than ten years. We can't always stick to the same material."

Shen Yexin said, that's not what he said when he kept urging us.

"Okay, I see, then let's prepare for the research and development of new materials."

Xu You has been by the side, listening carefully to the conversation between the two.

At this moment, Xu You felt that the time was ripe, so he no longer hesitated.

"Fan Gong, Mr. Shen, can you consider titanium-aluminum-based alloy coating?"

Hearing Xu You's voice, everyone subconsciously looked at Xu You.

Because Xu You usually seldom speaks in the office, this sudden speech really surprised everyone.

Fan Liangzhong had never heard Xu You's voice at all before, but had only seen Xu You's face, and had some basic understanding of Xu You's affairs.

"Ah, Fan Gong, this is Xu You, an intern from Ji University, a very outstanding student."

Shen Ye was worried that Fan Liangzhong didn't know Xu You, so he explained it to Fan Liangzhong.

"Well, Mr. Shen, I know him. It's really not easy for the leaders of the space agency to invite him here in person."

Although Fan Liangzhong said so, the words were mostly polite.

After all, I'm just a freshman, and I'm not majoring in aviation. I'm here for an internship, and it's more like a visit.

At this time, Hu Shucheng also signaled Xu You with his eyes vigorously, telling Xu You not to ask more about these things.

Hu Shucheng knew that Xu You must want to provide some help for the project.

Hu Shucheng himself, why doesn't he want to do this?

But in their identities, most of them are just going up to add to the chaos, and they will be criticized in the end.

What they can think of, those big bosses above must have thought about it too.

Sure enough, after Fan Liangzhong finished complimenting Xu You, the topic changed immediately.

"Xu You, you are right. Titanium-aluminum alloy can indeed be used as a coating for aero-engines. But it also has some limitations, such as not being able to withstand high temperatures, so in terms of overall performance, nickel-based coatings are better. It's easier to use."

Fan Liangzhong's answer met Hu Shucheng's expectations.

Hu Shucheng knew that Xu You had read a lot of books these days, so he must have a certain understanding of aviation knowledge.

But compared to experienced aerospace engineers, Xu You's knowledge is definitely not enough.

Xu You was already prepared for Fan Liangzhong's answer, and then said:

"Then what if some other elements are added to the titanium-aluminum alloy?"

Hearing Xu You's words, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it is indeed an idea. Professor Shen, I think it is indeed possible to explore in this direction."

Fan Liangzhong also affirmed this, but he didn't know if he was sincere or just joking.

Hu Shucheng vaguely felt that Xu You didn't seem to say these words on the spur of the moment, but more like he had prepared them long ago.

Because according to Xu You's personality, if he was not fully sure, he would never be so rash.

Several doctors in the office did not dare to express their thoughts easily.

They all remembered that Xu You had created CFD software by himself before.

This student, who was many years younger than them, had powerful abilities far beyond his age.

At this time, Xu You also planned to show his cards directly.

"I have done some research recently, Mr. Fan and Mr. Shen, please give me some advice."
