Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chief Engineer Lin's son?

Xia Ran's eyes flickered, and she said calmly, "He's usually quite easygoing and likes to play games, but his godmother just gave him a game console, so I don't know what you're bringing."

However, it would be a bit presumptuous and awkward for you to go directly to his door. You should find a middleman... Dad could ask his supervisor, Minister Xu, or another colleague who has a good relationship with Chief Engineer Lin, to go and visit together. Otherwise, it would be awkward.

"...That's true."

He Ying nodded in realization, looking at her daughter's increasingly refined face and those eyes that were almost identical to her own when she was young. She suddenly asked, "Ranran, now that you're in junior high, are there any boys in your class that you have a crush on? Tell Mom, and I'll give you some advice."

"Mother!"

Xia Ran couldn't stand the question, her ears turning slightly red as she exclaimed, "How can you ask such a question? Aren't you encouraging people to date early? I'm not familiar with any of the boys in my class."

"Mom doesn't object to early romantic relationships."

He Ying smiled and said, "Your father and I also had a puppy love relationship. My mother had her eye on him since he was in the first year of junior high, but he was so focused on studying that he didn't realize it until he graduated from junior high..."

You've started taking biology classes in junior high. Girls are naturally more aware of things between men and women at a younger age. Good boys should keep an eye on things early on. As long as they don't cross the line, their mothers won't object.

"I see several boys around your age in the Chengfei residential area, including Engineer Li's son, Engineer Zhang's son, and Chief Engineer Lin's son..."

"Mom, please stop playing matchmaker."

Xia Ran suddenly became a little angry and said, "Lin Dong and Qingling are childhood sweethearts, and Qingling is my good friend..."

"Okay, okay, Mom was wrong," He Ying quickly backed down.

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Xia Ran didn't continue the conversation. She got up, said a few words, and went back to her room to get her clothes and take a shower.

At this moment, Xia Tianqiang heard the noise outside and came out of the study. He glanced at the bathroom where the sound of water was coming from, looked at his wife sitting on the sofa, and asked softly.

"How did the chat go?"

"There's a promising sign..."

He Ying rubbed her temples, looking troubled, and said, "Your daughter has been very talented since she was little. She has a clear mind and logical thinking, and it's hard to keep things from her."

But just now, when we were talking about Chief Engineer Lin's son, she got lost as soon as I turned a corner. Her words became incoherent, and her demeanor changed. But Chief Engineer Lin's son…”

She wouldn't be so troubled by other people; she could even teach them how to get along and handle relationships, and how to encourage each other while fishing.

After all, she and Xia Tianqiang had been through similar experiences, and as long as their bodies didn't cross the line, the couple had an open-minded attitude towards puppy love.

But Chief Engineer Lin's son... They had only been in the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's residential area for less than a week, and they had already heard about the betrothal between the two children.

I can't let my daughter interfere in someone else's relationship.

"Well... let's just let things take their course for now."

I've run into several children of Ranran's age in the residential compound this semester on their way to and from school, and I've paid close attention to them.

Although Chief Engineer Lin's son's grades were average, it was mainly due to his love of video games. He was the most composed person in the group, which was indeed somewhat attractive to Ranran's personality...

Xia Tianqiang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "We were busy with work in the past and didn't spend much time with Ranran. She has never been one to confide in us since she was little."

Now that teenagers are starting to develop rebellious tendencies, the more we interfere, the worse it gets.

"After you're transferred and less busy, spend more time with your daughter. Once you and your daughter are closer, find an opportunity to find out what she's thinking. Ranran has always been sensible, so this matter shouldn't be too bad..."

"I see."

He Ying paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "When Minister Xu returns from his business trip, ask him to let us go to Chief Engineer Lin's house to finalize the job transfer. I've already bought the necessary items."

"it is good."

Xia Tianqiang responded, "I'll follow up when the time comes."

As they spoke, the couple exchanged a knowing glance and both sighed.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, bringing us to mid-December.

Temperatures are dropping, and this morning even saw the first snowfall of the year.

Although the snowflakes melted less than ten minutes after landing, they added even more chill to Chengdu's already damp and cold winter.

Today is Saturday, no classes. Lin Dong and Xu Qingling hid in the heated laboratory No. 78 early in the morning.

Lin Dong carefully read a model paper on military-grade filtering schemes published by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation. After mentally verifying the calculations for a few seconds, he frowned and looked around.

"Here."

Nearby, Xu Qingling was peeling sunflower seeds while doing practice questions. Noticing Lin Dong's actions, she casually picked up a piece of confidential paper and a ballpoint pen and handed them over.

"Is this project difficult?"

Xu Qingling looked at the dense spectrum data and channel parameters on the screen and asked a question out of curiosity.

Since fourth or fifth grade, she has rarely seen Lin Dong use paper and pen when studying.

In most cases, no matter how difficult the content is, you can just glance at it, go through it in your mind, and then you'll master it.

This is also what Zhou Xiaoyan said about talent: she was a hundred-yuan millionaire in kindergarten, while Lin Dong was a multi-millionaire in society.

Aside from whining and protesting to her mother, she couldn't find any reason to refute her.

"A little bit."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded: "The main reason is that I haven't learned this knowledge before, so I don't have enough accumulation and can't perform well in mental arithmetic. It's faster to calculate with pen."

His spiritual vision is that the more knowledge he acquires, the better the effect he can achieve.

In recent years, I've been working on aircraft, engines, lasers, radar, and flight control; these are the main areas I've studied.

Now they need to develop an electronic warfare aircraft, which is a field that is relatively unfamiliar to Lin Dong.

but.

Although it may seem unfamiliar, everyone ultimately aims for the same goal when it comes to fighter jets.

The design improvement from the J-16 to the J-16D, although the overall difficulty was no less than developing a new large fighter jet, the biggest challenges of electronic warfare aircraft are nothing more than a few points.

One is power supply and heat management.

Because it requires the use of high-power electronic warfare equipment, the total power consumption of the entire fighter jet is as high as 100 to 200 kilowatts, which is more than double that of the avionics and radar systems of ordinary fighter jets.

This requires meeting such a huge power consumption while dissipating the enormous heat generated by the equipment, which is the basis for the normal operation of electronic warfare aircraft.

The second is electromagnetic compatibility.

Because electromagnetic fields can interact, it is possible to integrate a complete set of electronic warfare equipment, such as radar, electronic reconnaissance equipment, high-power jammers, and full-spectrum pods, into a small fighter jet.

It is also necessary to ensure that they can work independently, while also being able to work together without interference when all of them are powered on at the same time.

The layout of various electronic warfare devices here, as well as the design difficulty of these devices, undoubtedly reaches an appalling level.

The third is the software and algorithms for the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft, as well as the development of various electronic jamming combat strategies...

Of these three core challenges, the first two require some learning, but the third is something Lin Dong can overcome directly.

talking.

Lin Dong picked up a pen and quickly wrote down formulas and parameters on the paper. A few minutes later, looking at the final calculated parameters, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"So that's how it is..."

"Has it been calculated?"

Xu Qingling looked at the familiar but incomprehensible symbols and numbers on the paper, and hearing Lin Dong's delighted voice, she smiled and asked a question as well.

"Yes, a difficult problem has been solved."

Clang—

At that moment, the door to the adjacent final assembly workshop opened.

Xu Ziming walked over and saw the two of them huddled together looking at something. His expression froze, and he coughed twice.

"Cough cough—"

"dad?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xu Qingling instinctively turned around.

Upon seeing Xu Ziming, she immediately ran over with cheers, grabbed his arm, and exclaimed in surprise, "When did you get back from your business trip?"

"I just got back not long ago."

Seeing his daughter's happy expression, Xu Ziming smiled despite his fatigue. He patted Xu Qingling's head and said with a smile, "I asked your Uncle Lin and found out you were here, so I came to pick you up."

"Where's Mom? Didn't she come back with us today?"

Xu Qingling looked curiously behind Xu Ziming.

Because she had to deliver the goods to the military base, Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't always get an external signal; she hadn't been able to get through on video calls for the past two days.

"No, it has to be Monday afternoon."

Xu Ziming smiled and said, "Next time Mom goes on a business trip, if you want to contact her, you can use Xiao Dong's phone to call her private number. But be careful not to talk for too long."

"oh."

Xu Qingling nodded with some disappointment when she heard "Monday".

But the next moment, remembering that it was already Saturday and there were less than three days until Monday, he immediately regained his cheerful demeanor.

"Uncle Xu."

Lin Dong picked up the sunflower seeds that Xu Qingling had peeled, looked at Xu Ziming whom he hadn't seen for over ten days, and asked curiously, "Has the hollow air-cooling structure for the turbine blades been solved?"

"Resolved!"

"Chief Engineer Jiao said that with this problem solved, the design work for the Emei project will proceed smoothly from here on out..."

As Xu Ziming was speaking, he suddenly noticed that the sunflower seeds Lin Dong was holding were peeled from the spot where Xu Qingling had just been sitting, and his face immediately darkened.

He took a deep breath, watching Lin Dong's cheeks puff out and then relax, but still gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to eat sunflower seeds, can't you peel them yourself?"

"Dad, Lin Dong is very focused when he's studying, so I just peeled a little bit for him," Xu Qingling explained from the side.

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziming's brow twitched, and his expression softened somewhat.

He knew how focused Lin Dong was when he was studying; he would become completely absorbed in his studies and would hardly be disturbed by the outside world except for urgent matters.

"What are you studying?"

Xu Ziming took two steps forward, looked at the paper on the screen, and frowned after carefully examining it. "Filtering and spectrum design... Is this Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's J-16D electronic warfare aircraft project?"

"right."

Lin Dong nodded, and as if he had thought of something, he popped a few melon seeds into his mouth, opened another document he had been compiling over the past few days, printed it out, picked it up and handed it to Xu Ziming.

"Uncle Xu, these are some technical and process issues related to the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft. You need to go back and check in advance how to test and improve them."

Because it is not a hypersonic aircraft, the manufacturing requirements for the J-16D fighter jet are not as high as those for the WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft.

However, as an electronic warfare aircraft, its internal structural design and heat dissipation design are more complex than those of the WZ-8, requiring the production and R&D department and the final assembly department to work together on these aspects.
