He traveled back in time to 1955 and became a member of the national scientific research team. The West has completely blocked technology, and we have nothing. And he has a "all things analysis system" in his mind - he can see the arrangement of atoms, the distribution of stress, and the points of defects. Then he started building things.
The story begins with a cracked furnace of heat-resistant alloy.
In 1955, the West imposed a total blockade. Precision instruments were not sold, formulas were not provided, and even the crucibles used for smelting were stuck in the export license. The country is in urgent need of engines made of domestically produced heat-resistant alloys. All twelve furnace trials cracked, and the project is about to be stopped.
Lin Xu traveled through time. A doctor of materials science in his previous life, and a young researcher at the National Research Institute in this life.
He reached out and touched the break.
In the field of vision, the metal structure unfolds layer by layer - grain boundaries, segregation, inclusions, and stress distribution are all clearly visible. He could see through the source of the cracks that no one had found out in twelve furnaces.
Then he picked up the chalk and wrote the new process plan on the blackboard.
What he failed to accomplish in twelve furnaces, he accomplished in one furnace.
Is the West blocking high-temperature alloys? We make it ourselves.
Is the supply of imported crucibles out of supply? We match it ourselves.
High sulfur nickel materials cannot be used? We modify the process ourselves.
An old induction furnace that had been out of service for half a year, a few blocks of lime, and a few refractory pottery shards—he used the existing domestic conditions to create a path for technological breakthrough.
Once a data line is opened, a hole will be opened in the entire country's technological blockade.
