Although Xiao Yi could begin the research at any time, Wang Changhong later told him that it would be conducted at another materials research institute under the military, near Jinling. After all, Jinling was home to the Eastern Theater Command, so there were naturally quite a few research institutes nearby.
But Xiao Yi obviously could not stay at the institute all the time. He still had classes to teach at the university, and as the director of Science Island Laboratory, he also had plenty of matters of his own to handle. On top of that, as the chief consultant of the National Fusion Company, he sometimes had to answer technical questions from the company and might occasionally need to visit the site.
Not to mention that his three students were about to graduate. Before they did, he still had to keep an eye on them as their teacher.
So in the end, Xiao Yi decided to visit the institute first. At the very least, he needed to find out what material they currently needed, see how far the research had progressed, and then think carefully about how to help them solve the problem.
In aircraft engines, material compatibility was indeed an extremely important property.
Material compatibility referred to whether different materials, when coexisting in a specific environment, would undergo harmful physical or chemical reactions, whether they would cause reduced material performance or structural damage. It reflected whether every material in an entire material system could effectively maintain its own stability and reliability.
This issue existed in all kinds of engineering. Even when building a house, one had to consider the compatibility between the materials used. Of course, in modern engineering, these materials already had systematic, established conclusions behind them, so they could simply be used as needed.
However, for a
