To cross the threshold into the Sea of Stars, advancing aerospace technology was the top priority—the very core of it all.
At present, Fei Yang's research in this field only involved the most basic materials. It was still starting from zero in propulsion, high-performance components, and integrated manufacturing.
According to Zhou Feiyu's plans, the first step would definitely be drones, which were also the direction of future development.
That would involve many areas, with the three foremost core concerns being materials, engines, and energy.
Materials went without saying; that was Fei Yang's old trade.
The Tungsten Alloy Cutter mentioned by the Artificial Intelligence "Galaxy" was Fei Yang's latest progress in materials research, as well as one of Artificial Intelligence "Galaxy's" outstanding research achievements.
However, unlike other materials that could be applied directly, Tungsten Alloy Cutters were used as processing tools.
Many high-performance drone components, such as fuselages, wings, engine blades, and so on, all had to be machined by machining centers. They could not be produced through forging, nor could they be printed with 3D printing.
To machine these high-performance components, advanced processing equipment was essential. One was the main machining center, while the other was the various composite cutters used for processing.
Among them, Tungsten Alloy Cutters were the backbone of processing tools.
In most processing fields, Tungsten Alloy Cutters were the mainstay, but the mid- to high-end products basically came from abroad—Siemens Company and Mitsubishi Group.
It was not as though there were no domestic companies making such Tungsten Alloy Cutters, but their products could only barely suffice.
Siemens' and Mitsubishi's Tungsten Alloy Cutters used the same materials, yet their performance after manufacturing was simply better than domestic products. Whether in sharpness, strength, toughness, or service life, they were far superior. As a result, most domestic manufacturers would
