Genius is just the threshold for me!

Lin Dong went into the study, drew the electromagnetic shielding blackout curtains, turned on all the lights in the room, and took out the confidential notebook from the drawer.

Plug in the intranet cable, connect to the laboratory via the intranet line, and find the supercombustion engine blueprints stored on the server.

"The data from the last supercombustion test has been thoroughly digested and improved... It's time to conduct the second supercombustion test."

Lin Dong opened the data from the last supercombustion test and compared it with the design parameters of the internal central support plate, concave cavity, and ramp that had been optimized and improved over the past few months on the supercombustion drawings.

Moving the mouse with his right hand, Lin Dong pondered for a few minutes and determined that this parameter was the current limit; there was no data to support further optimization and improvement.

"Yes, based on the current design, we'll build a new test device and ask Chief Engineer Jiao You to help us conduct a second supercombustion test."

Lin Dong opened a new design interface, confidently and quickly drew a brand new super-exciting device, then opened Jiao You's email address on the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's intranet, copied it, and sent it over.

[Uncle Jiao, if you have time, could you please help me conduct a supercombustion test and collect all the necessary test data? Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group will pay for the related expenses as a top-secret project.]

Now that Jiao You knows his identity, there's no need to go to Wang Xingguo anymore, or bring up the blueprints for the American SR-72 project.

Ding-dong-

Less than two minutes after the email was sent, Jiao You replied.

[Teacher Xiaodong, received. I'll arrange things tomorrow and go back to the research institute to personally complete this experiment... As for the cost, forget about it.]

Communication within a purely intranet environment is secure, but cross-departmental fund settlements can create traces and increase risks. We have a dedicated fund within our 624 department to handle these special matters.

Thank you, Uncle Jiao. Is there any progress on the Emei project lately?

Regarding the hollow air-cooling solution you provided last time, we have already resolved the turbocharger overheating issue. There were some follow-up challenges, but they can all be solved. We haven't encountered any insurmountable problems yet...

If there are any difficult problems, I will try my best to let the team overcome them. If there is really no other way, then I will ask Teacher Xiaodong for help. Otherwise, the team will be ruined.

Lin Dong smiled as he looked at this.

Jiao You, as expected of a senior who had taught students at Northwestern Polytechnical University, understood that having powerful connections was one thing, but having powerful connections was another.

However, ensuring the team's potential and ensuring the business has successors is also a strategic priority.

Although Wang Xingguo also has the awareness of cultivating a team, he doesn't pay attention to it all the time, and it's not a high priority in his mind.

Sometimes when I'm studying and my head is spinning, I can't take it anymore, so I just want to come here and get the answers.

Lin Dong chatted with Jiao You for a while.

Soon, the clock struck nine. Since Wang Xingguo hadn't sent a message or made a phone call to report the problem, Lin Dong knew that the other party was already in place, so he quickly switched to Wang Xingguo's email account.

[Wang Xingguo]: Engineer Cao, hello. Regarding the motion model of the three-dimensional vector nozzle in module 197 of the design scheme, you need to communicate with the process department to initially build an actual structural scheme, and at the same time test and collect a complete set of data, sort out the optimization route... For details, you can refer to the experience of the three-dimensional vector control of the J-20, and combine it with the paper ag798-341 on the internal network.

[Wang Xingguo]: Engineer Zhang, regarding the preliminary aerodynamic layout and control of the plan, you need to build a completely new avionics and flight control system that can simultaneously meet the demands of 10 Tbps reconnaissance data transmission...

[Wang Xingguo]: Engineer Sun, this project is a hypersonic aircraft. The FADEC system response needs to be improved to meet the requirements of hypersonic waverider flight. The timing response adjustment of engine power and vector angle... If we lack experience in this area, we can contact Shenyang Aircraft Corporation to learn.

time flies.

Emails were sent out one after another.

Soon, Lin Dong sent out more than 30 emails, breaking down the entire design of the WZ-8 into more than 30 large modules, and handed them over to the team and laboratory below.

"Next, I'll just have my godfather keep an eye on the progress and give me feedback every three days. I'll also help resolve any difficulties that I can't handle."

"Once all modules are designed and the overall data is obtained, I will do a final integration and optimization to resolve the issues of fit, coordination, and balance among the modules. At that point, the WZ-8 design will be 99% complete and we can begin the actual manufacturing and testing phase..."

"Well, the chief engineer takes overall control and tackles the core technical issues, but the WZ-8 does not involve uncharted territory and there are no technical difficulties... All we need to do is assign people to do the work."

It's not particularly difficult, just quite tedious, which fits the definition that 99% of modern scientific research is boring.

After sending all the emails, Lin Dong realized it was still less than 9:40 AM and drew some insights from his experience as chief engineer.

It's not difficult, but quite tedious; it mainly involves assigning tasks.

Based on the current progress, his initial estimate of eight months is actually quite late.

If the lab and team below put in some effort, it's only been a month and a half now. If we give them another two and a half months, we might be able to finish in four months.

"So, the main problem is that our reconnaissance system will be held hostage?"

"The 607 Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics are not doing a good job... The mass production process for gallium nitride has been completed, but there has been no accurate response regarding the radar and instruments."

Lin Dong carefully reviewed the progress of both sides.

It was discovered that by the time Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) had completed the entire fuselage and engine of the WZ-8, the gallium nitride reconnaissance system for the WZ-8 was most likely not yet in place.

"No way, are we really going to make a defective product for our first project?"

Lin Dong frowned, opened the internal network of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC), and carefully examined the laboratories and manufacturing plants under CAC, checking the types of equipment and various technical process indicators. He made a serious assessment in his mind... He took out his secure phone, found the number 001 in the contacts, and sent a message.

[56]: How about we make the radar and such? I checked the equipment and technology and they can meet the requirements. The lab hasn't had much work on this part recently. If we arrange it now, it can be tested and flown simultaneously with the fuselage.

【001】：Grandpa, stop rushing me. I just finished dealing with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation today. My J-10 fighter jet flight is tomorrow.

[56]: To be honest, their progress is too slow, and they are unlikely to keep up with our progress.

[56]: You guys used to work on the J-20 fighter jet. You made the fighter jet, but you didn't make the engine. It's still a fighter jet with congenital heart disease.

Now, with this reconnaissance aircraft project, we can't just build an empty shell, can we... Is Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group destined to be stuck with congenital defects?

【001】：What congenital disability? You can't talk about that when you're running a project…

【001】: I'll leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning and block their door before they start work tomorrow to urge them. If their progress is really lagging behind, we'll do it ourselves, okay?

[56]: Okay, then tell them that we can start manufacturing and test flights before December.

[001]: Manufacturing and test flight before December? Um... Actually, disability is also a kind of beauty. The J-20 is quite beautiful even with a heart condition.

[56]: As you said, their progress is lagging behind, so we will do it ourselves.

【56】: This is my first project, I can't set a bad precedent, what if it's like this all the time?

[001]: Ancestors, we are science, not metaphysics. Don't curse yourself...

[56]: Single-crystal high-temperature alloy materials, isn't that mysterious enough?

【001】: Hiss—I'll go ask tomorrow and talk to headquarters. My God, let's give them another chance.

Ding-dong-

Before Lin Dong could reply, an email popped up in the laptop's inbox.

[Chengfei Engineer Xu]: Engineer Wang! The latest test data for the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based superalloy is out. One set of data shows stable crystal plane growth and good crystal growth... It's going to be a success! The mass production technology for this material is about to be successful!

Is this... Uncle Xu's email?

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the time, which was about 10 o'clock... This was the first time he had seen Xu Ziming voluntarily working overtime to send emails at 10 o'clock at night.

"Is the mass production technology for third-generation single-crystal nickel-based superalloys about to be completed? No wonder they're so excited and voluntarily working overtime..."

Lin Dong glanced at the contents of the email, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

This project, which had been tedious and boring since he got involved, mobilized hundreds of high-end laboratories and thousands of supporting laboratories across the country, driving the power of the entire industrial behemoth to tackle the problem. But after more than half a year of holding back, the project is finally about to make a breakthrough.

Ring ring—

Just then, the secure phone that was in my hand, which I had just used to send the message, suddenly rang.

Lin Dong glanced at the connected phone, and before he could even speak, Wang Xingguo on the other end was already excitedly roaring, "Holy crap—it's done! Xiao Dong, did you see that? The third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature material is about to be completed! The Emei project has the material, and the heart problem of our J-20 fighter jet can be solved..."

"..."

Lin Dong moved his phone away about 10 centimeters, listening intently to his elder's excitement. After Wang Xingguo finished shouting, he smiled and said, "Godfather, didn't you just say that even with a heart condition, the J-20 is still pretty cool?"

"Uh...did I say that?" Wang Xingguo denied it immediately.

"Yes, I didn't say."

Lin Dong wasn't surprised by Wang Xingguo's answer at all, but simply pressed on, "Then, Godfather, tell me, isn't this single-crystal high-temperature alloy material mysterious?"

"Damn it! Damn it! If you want to build the radar yourself, then do it."

"If they can't keep up with the pace, let them fend for themselves. They can't even keep up with the technical demands, they deserve it..."

Wang Xingguo, still excited, exclaimed, "Damn it, once the Emei project is cracked and the J-20 gets its new engine, I'll dare to bang on the table and start a meeting at headquarters!"

"...I just made a few sets by hand in the lab to meet the project schedule. For actual mass production, we still need to build a factory. At that time, we will have to hand over this task to the CETC team."

Lin Dong only wanted to catch up with the project schedule and had no interest in taking business from other companies or in the subsequent mass production tasks.

talking.

He opened a new email and began to break down the manufacturing process of gallium nitride radar, assigning tasks to the classified laboratory under Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

"...If we hand over the mass production task to them, then there will be no problem at all. Xiao Dong, you can arrange it."

At this point, Wang Xingguo was clearly gaining confidence. After calming his excited emotions, he said, "I'm currently handling the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloy project, upgrading the laboratory level, increasing the personnel confidentiality level, and sending back some finished products for confirmation..."

Tomorrow at noon, you and Qingling will deliver lunch to Engineer Xu. You can also come with me to Engineer Xu's materials lab to check out the actual condition of this single-crystal material.

If there are no issues with the materials, you should now hand over the actual project details to Engineer Xu.

There are still a series of follow-up tasks, including the modification of mass production equipment, the design and planning of mass production plants, and the in-depth development of materials, all of which require someone to follow up and handle…”
