260: Participate in the development of the sixth-generation aircraft?

Guo Hao met General Wang at the factory.

At this moment, General Wang was staring at some gray metal ingots in front of him, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Beside him stood many soldiers wearing various helmets, all of them with apprehension in their eyes.

Guo Hao's heart stirred.

"General Wang, you called me over so urgently, is something the matter?"

Guo Hao asked, looking at General Wang beside him.

"Professor Guo, you're finally here!"

General Wang, who was currently frowning in thought, immediately raised his head upon hearing Guo Hao's words, a look of pleasant surprise in his eyes, and called out to Guo Hao.

He quickly walked over to Guo Hao's side, making Guo Hao slightly stunned.

With a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he looked at General Wang in front of him and asked.

"General Wang, so what exactly happened? You look a bit anxious..."

"I was just about to tell you!"

General Wang said to Guo Hao with a wry smile.

"Please follow me."

Saying that, General Wang pulled Guo Hao to the side.

"Look at this metal ingot."

General Wang sighed slightly and said to Guo Hao.

At this moment, Guo Hao picked up a silver-gray metal ingot from the ground and weighed it slightly in his hand.

"Is it Titanium Alloy?"

Guo Hao turned his head to look at General Wang beside him and asked directly.

"You truly are a top expert in Materials Science, your eyes are sharp! Just taking it out is worth a lot of money."

"General Wang, with our relationship, there's no need for mutual flattery anymore! Although I can tell it's Titanium Alloy, before doing tests, I couldn't possibly know what type of Titanium Alloy it is.

The characteristics of Titanium Alloy are still very obvious, there's nothing strange about that."

Guo Hao said to General Wang with a slight sense of helplessness.

"This is Titanium-aluminum Compound, a material we plan to use for the fuselage structure of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft."

General Wang looked at Guo Hao with a serious expression.

Upon hearing General Wang's words, Guo Hao's eyes immediately widened.

What the heck, bro, is this a secret I'm supposed to know right now?

Sixth-Generation Aircraft??

The 5th Generation Aircraft only had test flights for two years and hasn't truly formed effective combat capability yet, and now the Sixth-Generation Aircraft is already being developed?

Moreover, this should be one of the highest level secrets... and I just found out about it so easily?

Guo Hao was so shocked he was speechless for a moment.

"I know you still have many doubts and questions, but you are indeed qualified to know this now. Currently, the conceptual blueprints for our simulator aircraft have been completed."

However, there's a big problem with the materials for the conceptual aircraft. These Titanium-aluminum Compound are far below the performance expectations we had for the fuselage of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft. If things continue like this.

It's very likely that our entire project will have to be canceled and the Sixth-Generation Aircraft will need to be replanned."

General Wang's eyes were filled with helplessness.

"If that's really the case, the loss would be too great! The development of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft itself is a huge System engineering project. The country has already invested too many resources and too much funding into this project."

At this point, whether we turn back or stop directly, the loss is just too great!"

Saying that, General Wang sighed.

"When Academician Liu told me about this before, I almost choked to death, but there's nothing we can do. No matter how our Engineers test it.

The Titanium-aluminum Compound cannot achieve the required performance. The theoretical performance in the Laboratory and the performance when we actually start building the model aircraft are too different. We initially thought it was a problem with impurities.

But later it was proven not to be. The Titanium-Aluminum Alloy we produced is always slightly lacking in high-temperature resistance and strength."

Saying this, General Wang showed deep weariness on his face.

It was clear that he had been busy for a long time because of this matter these past few days.

The design and manufacturing of such top-tier aircraft involve a huge amount!

It can be said that pulling one hair affects the whole body.

"I was truly at my wit's end, that's when I thought of Professor Guo. Do you have any research on this type of metal material?"

Saying that, General Wang looked at Guo Hao with a hopeful gleam in his eyes.

A trace of hesitation appeared in Guo Hao's eyes.

"I can give it a try."

As for metal materials, Guo Hao naturally had some understanding, but of course, he hadn't worked on them.

After all, he didn't really have three heads and six arms.

From getting involved in academia to truly doing academic work, up until now, it hasn't even been two full years!

Although he was a student of Materials Science, he actually didn't do much related to materials.

Guo Hao had basically never dealt with high-end things like Titanium-Aluminum Alloy.

Naturally, he didn't dare to give any guarantees.

However, General Wang was very good to him. No matter what, he had to at least try. If he really couldn't solve the problem, then they could discuss it further!

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing Guo Hao agree, a strong light of excitement appeared in General Wang's eyes.

"Then it all depends on Professor Guo!"

General Wang said, looking at Guo Hao.

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded and didn't say much more.

At this moment, General Wang roughly explained the experimental situation to Guo Hao while leading him to the Laboratory.

At this time, in the Laboratory, many people looked as if they had lost a parent, each one like an eggplant hit by frost, all listless and dispirited. It was very obvious.

This issue with the Titanium-Aluminum Alloy had made them a bit unconfident. After all, a perfectly fine Titanium-Aluminum Alloy, when produced on the industrial chain and production line, actually showed such a large discrepancy.

The key was that no matter how they tested it, they couldn't find where the problem lay.

This made many people question their lives.

Was the problem with the Laboratory? Or was the problem with the production line?

Or perhaps, was it a structural problem with the Titanium-Aluminum Alloy itself?

Everyone was looking for the problem.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment."

General Wang led Guo Hao into the Laboratory, a smile in his eyes, and said to the people in the Laboratory.

Everyone's gaze simultaneously swept towards Guo Hao and General Wang.

Academician Liu was also among this group of people.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.

General Wang really went to get help!

Academician Liu could be said to have deeply experienced Guo Hao's capabilities!

As long as Guo Hao was willing to take action, perhaps the problems currently troubling them could be easily solved!

After all, Guo Hao was someone who could process two years' worth of his own experimental data by himself in five days. This kind of ability was comparable to a computer.

Incredibly terrifying!

Perhaps, Guo Hao really could find where the problem lay!

As for the others, some recognized Guo Hao and had a slight curiosity in their eyes, but there were also some who didn't usually watch TV or use the internet and didn't recognize Guo Hao.

"Who is this?"

Academician Hua pushed up his glasses, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, looking at General Wang beside him.
