Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Wouldn't the large anechoic chamber we used for the stealth design of the J-20 be sufficient? It's big enough to fit a J-16D... Or could we disassemble the equipment for testing?"

Wang Xingguo frowned as he looked at the document, which stated that Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) needed one of the three large darkrooms in the country, and that the construction period, originally scheduled for September 2014, had to be brought forward to August 2013.

As a member of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) 001, he also had some understanding of microwave anechoic chambers, knowing that they were the core building for radar research and debugging, as well as the core building for various electromagnetic research projects, antenna equipment research and development, and communication equipment research and development.

In addition, when designing large stealth fighters for stealth, it is also necessary to conduct darkroom tests to collect various parameters such as the radar cross-section of the fuselage.

However, a typical darkroom is usually only a few meters in size, with larger ones being around ten meters in size, and at most thirty or forty meters in size.

When Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) was developing and designing the J-20 fighter jet, it used a large darkroom, more than 30 meters in size, from the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) to complete the stealth design of the entire aircraft.

However, the anechoic chamber here, designated by Lin Dong for the J-16D project's overall aircraft testing, requires a minimum length and width of 58 meters and a height of 20 meters, not counting the building's structure, radar-absorbing layers, shielding layers, and equipment space.

This means that developing an electronic warfare aircraft requires more than just the design and technical sophistication of the microwave anechoic chamber itself.

The building itself alone requires the construction of a super-large building, about 100 meters in size and 10 stories high. At the same time, this building can also support a fighter jet weighing tens of tons being lifted up inside and rolled around for multi-angle testing.

"Godfather, the J-20 fighter jet is just testing the stealth design. Testing electronic warfare aircraft still requires simulating various electromagnetic environments and electronic countermeasures."

"As for disassembling the equipment..."

Lin Dong paused for a moment and said seriously, "Electronic warfare aircraft have electromagnetic compatibility issues, which is the most critical problem in the development of electronic warfare aircraft. In the early stages, we can test in sections, but in the final stage, the entire aircraft must be tested and optimized as a whole."

With this optimization, the device is fully compatible and interference-free, allowing it to achieve 100% or even 200% of its performance.

However, if optimization is not done well, interference may occur between devices, which may only allow them to perform at 30% of their capacity. In severe cases, it may even cause electromagnetic conflicts between devices, leading to their self-burning...

"I see."

Wang Xingguo nodded seriously, looking at the document in his hand with a troubled expression: "Xiao Dong, I can handle this large darkroom. I'll communicate with headquarters today, and we can even snatch one for Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group."

But this fully functional giant darkroom... that's a matter of the construction period, and I don't know anything about civil engineering, so I wouldn't know how to push it forward.

"Uh... Godfather, it's actually still possible to push this forward."

Lin Dong opened a separate design drawing of a microwave anechoic chamber, printed two copies, and handed them to Wang Xingguo and Xu Ziming: "I've looked into it, and Shenfei's giant anechoic chamber has been under construction and renovation for four and a half years."

The main structure of the building and the external shielding layer have been completed, and the internal wave-absorbing layer is 56% complete. Now only the 44% wave-absorbing layer, the heavy turntable for carrying fighter jets, the crane, and the simulation testing equipment are not yet completed.

Their progress is so slow because they are relatively frugal and not very well-off. They estimate that the J-16D project will be completed by the end of 14, so they are not in a hurry for this giant darkroom.

Another issue is that the equipment layout plan for the simulation test was not completed. Several plans were designed, but after verification, none of them could accurately simulate the real situation of electronic warfare...

"You mean, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group will provide some funding and equipment for joint construction?" Wang Xingguo immediately understood Lin Dong's arrangement.

"Yes, I studied the design of the anechoic chamber last night and made an electromagnetic testing scheme for the J-16D fighter jet."

Lin Dong nodded: "With Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's funding, I estimate that the remaining construction of the wave-absorbing layer, turntable, crane, etc., can be completed by April."

"After another three months or so of installation, debugging, and testing of the equipment, the construction of the entire fully functional giant anechoic chamber should be completed around July..."

"You're really good at this... it's really easy for you."

Wang Xingguo was at a loss for words, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Lin Dong's plan was not a problem.

After all, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) is not like Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), which is poor and weak.

The swarm drones alone earned Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) enough funds to cover several years' worth of expenses, allowing them to rapidly build residential communities for employees and staff.

Moreover, as the practical effects continued to emerge, Xingdong Company was able to maintain a nine-figure export volume every month, helping every aerial photography dreamer around the world.

Spending a few hundred million yuan like this, working with Shen Fei and his gang of poor guys who spend all their time on archaeology and tomb raiding to complete this secret room was no problem at all.

Anyway, since I paid the money, Chengfei will get a share of this darkroom in the future.

In the future, there will be projects involving electronic warfare aircraft, or even large radars and large equipment. This will give us a legitimate reason to directly and openly seize business, and even that old Chen from the electronics industry can't say anything to him.

"Wait, Xiao Dong..."

At this moment, Xu Ziming saw the design drawings Lin Dong had handed him and had a bad feeling: "We make aircraft. This darkroom construction has nothing to do with the R&D department and the final assembly department, right?"

"Uncle Xu, the darkroom itself isn't the problem, but the equipment is."

Lin Dong nodded: "With the breakthrough in gallium nitride electronics technology, all military radars across the country will need to be upgraded. The electronics industry is currently extremely busy, and it is estimated that they will not have any free time for the next one to two years."

Clearly, the electrical engineering department couldn't handle the darkroom equipment, and I didn't want to keep nagging them, so I decided to make it myself...

We happened to work on radar and reconnaissance equipment for the WZ-8 project last time, so the laboratory in the technology research and development department already has a foundation.

In addition, this gimbal, which simulates various electronic attack angles and is equipped with radar equipment, has high requirements for response speed and accuracy, so we have to make it ourselves.

Once the specific environmental parameters of the anechoic chamber are measured, I will provide the design drawings for this anechoic chamber equipment, which includes various simulated attack radars.

"But I only provided performance and parameter requirements for this gimbal; how to solve the problem is up to the R&D department..."

"Xiao Dong, we make aircraft..." Xu Ziming emphasized Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's business focus again.

He is now the head of both the technology research and development department and the headquarters. What difference does it make whether this is handed over to the technology research and development department or to him?

"This is so that we can build aircraft better and faster."

Lin Dong answered naturally, then glanced at the time and saw it was almost two o'clock. He stuffed the test paper next to him into his schoolbag, picked it up, and said, "Uncle Xu, godfather and godmother, I'm going to school. I made an appointment with Qingling. Remember to leave from this side later."

Done.

Lin Dong waved his hand and, without waiting for the adults to react, slung his backpack over his shoulder and left the laboratory.

Noon, Chunxi Road, Chengdu.

Groups of pedestrians and tourists continued to stroll around.

Some of these robotic dogs mingled with pet dogs, strolling down the street with their owners, their joints making soft hissing sounds as their limbs pulsated.

"Deng Qing, it's been more than ten years since I've been back to Chengdu. The changes here are truly amazing."

At a roadside beverage shop, a middle-aged man, around forty years old, wearing a floral down jacket and a high-quality replica of a green Submariner watch, put away his phone with a look of surprise.

She stared intently at the mechanical dog walking on the street, then watched as a drone landed at a milk tea shop across the street, and the drone shot into the sky as the shop assistant hung up the milk tea. Finally, she looked at a middle-aged woman across the street who was dressed simply, with her hair casually tied in a low ponytail, fine lines around her eyes, and calluses on her fingers. But through the marks of time, one could still vaguely see the pretty face she had in her youth.

"You should still have Li Yao's contact information, right? Help me arrange to meet him."

"Zhu Sheng, what do you want with Li Yao?" Deng Qing, who had been looking down at the drinks on the table, looked up when she heard this.

"What else can we do? Meet up with an old classmate."

Zhu Sheng shook his watch on his wrist, picked up his drink and took a sip: "It's rare for me to come back this time, so I wanted to meet up with some old classmates. I don't remember many of my classmates still living in Chengdu. You're one, and Li Yao is another."

talking.

Seeing that Deng Qing didn't respond, Zhu Sheng put down his cup and said with a smile, "I know Li Yao works at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group now. I'm also a native of Chengdu, and I know that this unit is quite sensitive. You can ask him to come out, and let him choose the place."

I won't hide it, the main reason I came back to Chengdu this time is because I have a project and need to consult Li Yao on some technical issues.

Of all the people I know, he has the best skills and knowledge. I know that he was your first love in middle school and you grew up together, so you must have his contact information.

Of course, we're all old classmates, and now we all have our own families and our own lives. If you feel it's not good to contact him like this, or if we really can't make plans, that's okay, I understand.

I'll try to find other people to see if I can get Li Yao's contact information.

I've made some money abroad these past few years, and I learned from other classmates that your husband passed away a few years ago, and recently your son, Xiaohu, was diagnosed with chronic leukemia. Since we bumped into each other on the street this time, I thought I'd do my part to help.

As Zhu Sheng spoke, he took out his phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to Deng Qing via mobile banking. While transferring the money, he added, "I got this bank account number from Chen Jiajia; that's how I found out about your situation..."

Enter your password to confirm the transfer.

Before Deng Qing could answer, Zhu Sheng picked up his glass, finished the rest of his drink, stood up, and said goodbye, "See you later, old classmate, until we meet again..."

Ding-dong-

Deng Qing's phone, which was on the table, rang, displaying a notification that a bank account had received a deposit.

Upon seeing the notification of the 50,000 yuan deposit, Deng Qing's eyes changed, and her expression became somewhat conflicted. In the end, she raised her head to look at Zhu Sheng, who was about to turn and leave.

"You're really looking for Li Yao to ask about technical matters?"

Zhu Sheng paused upon hearing this, a slight smile curving his lips. He then turned around and chuckled, "It's just some technical stuff on the project. We're old classmates, why would I harm him..."

"Then I'll ask around for you."

Deng Qing was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I will pay you back this money later..."
