Genius is just the threshold for me!

Ding-dong-

Lin Dong went into Xu Ziming's study, turned on the computer, and entered the password.

At that moment, two messages popped up on the secure phone that I had taken out and placed on the table.

【001】: There is no problem with a large microwave anechoic chamber. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has one that can be vacated for half a year. The anechoic chamber can be vacated in about three days. Then the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's test team can go there.

[001]: The headquarters will intervene to promote the construction of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's giant microwave anechoic chamber. First, the headquarters of AVIC will increase capital and coordinate the project, and then the assets and ownership will be transferred to Chengdu Aircraft Corporation at a later price.

"Sure, that's pretty quick..."

Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction upon seeing these two messages.

Although the headquarters cannot solve the technical problems of R&D projects, it can handle the industrial problems and resource allocation issues encountered by the projects much faster.

[56]: There's also electronic warfare equipment... The electronics department is busy upgrading radars, and they seem overwhelmed.

[001]: ...Are you really not afraid that I'll get mobbed at the next meeting?

[56]: This is true. In addition, they are still a little behind in mastering gallium nitride technology. The gallium nitride AESA radar reported was 28% oversized, which the J-16D could not accommodate.

You should call Chief Engineer Chen and ask if it's possible to integrate a little more, and also ask if our Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group project can be given priority... We'll start with politeness and then take action.

【001】: Ancestors, we aircraft engineers told Old Chen that their radar technology was poor. This is not a polite approach before taking action; it is a provocation before taking action.

【56】：You are the chief engineer, it's up to you now.

Now that Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has finally built a WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft that isn't inherently defective, and the project has been abandoned, military enthusiasts will soon be criticizing CAC as a "lame master," in addition to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) for being a "treasure hunter."

[56]: I've been reading. Keep it up!

Lin Dong quickly typed the last few words on the screen, smiled, locked his phone and put it aside, then began to check the new papers and cutting-edge scientific progress on the intranet.

"Academician Xue's team discovered that the combination of monolayer iron selenide and strontium titanate substrate can produce high-temperature superconductivity at the interface..."

Lin Dong opened the cutting-edge scientific paper, carefully reviewed it, took a few sheets of paper to do some calculations, and shook his head when he saw the final data.

"We have reached the forefront of the world, but the theoretical follow-up is difficult and the scope of application is relatively narrow... We still need to reflect and develop further."

talking.

Lin Dong closed the paper interface and opened a paper about the Higgs boson, which he began to study carefully.

The Higgs boson was detected in 2012 and confirmed in 2013. Even ten years later, it remains a topic of great interest to popular science professors.

"Higgs field, the foundation of mass for all things..." Lin Dong read it carefully and memorized some key information. Just then, a notification popped up with an email.

"Professor Xiaodong, I just met with Engineer Wang and know you're busy. You don't need to go to the lab later. I'll email you to let you know."

With the problem of hollow air cooling solved, the final design phase of the Emei project has entered the right track and is progressing smoothly.

Now, two-thirds of the staff at 624 are free to do other things. If your supercharged engine needs testing, we can mobilize resources to assist you..."

With the Emei project on track, two-thirds of the 624 team has been freed up.

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered the positioning of Institute 624 and understood the situation.

Among the major aero-engine military research institutes in China, Institute 624 is positioned to be responsible for the verification and research of core and key technologies, and to provide experimental verification and pre-research support to other units, without participating in the specific design of the entire aircraft.

Simply put, 624 is a combination of research and exploration, mainly focusing on exploring and solving technical problems.

The Emei project is now on track, and the entire project and design plan have been approved.

624 could then withdraw most of its personnel, leaving the remaining overall machine design and component design to 606.

After all, team efficiency has a boundary effect. Without technical challenges, having more R&D personnel will not only fail to improve efficiency, but will actually drag it down.

This is like doing three single-digit multiplication problems and then adding the three results together.

This is a simple problem that a middle school student could quickly solve, but it has to be divided among three middle school students, and then a fourth person has to add them together.

This adds several information transmission and communication costs, ultimately making the process longer, not shorter.

"Yes, that's great news."

A hint of joy appeared in Lin Dong's eyes. Without hesitation, he quickly and remotely accessed the server of Laboratory 78, found his Superburn Engine file, numbered the nearly one hundred issues that he needed to improve daily, and put them in his email. He also thoughtfully attached a list of materials.

[Uncle Jiao, there are currently many small projects that require data collection for the Supercharged Engine. Remember to break them down confidentially when assigning tasks.]

Secrecy breakdown is a fundamental skill for chief engineers working on classified projects.

The general process is to break down a classified experimental project into multiple smaller experiments that do not reveal core data, and then assign each smaller experiment to a separate team.

Once the experiments are completed, the chief engineer collects the data from these smaller experiments, then integrates and verifies the data or integrates the experiments to obtain the core data.

For some experiments that are truly impossible to disassemble, a dozen or more similar sham experiments are mixed in. Ultimately, all experiments must be completed, but only the chief engineer can determine which experiment's data is valid.

This classification of confidentiality is also the basis of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's hierarchical confidentiality system, ensuring that no secrets are leaked.

Apart from the core members of the project team, 99% of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group employees actually don't know what they are doing.

Even if the data they handle is leaked, as long as it's not a large-scale leak or an interconnected leak, otherwise, if the enemy finds out about the isolated data, it's just a pile of useless data.

Ding-dong-

About forty minutes after the email was sent, Jiao You replied.

[Teacher Xiaodong, received. I have taken a general look at these experimental projects, from confidential disassembly to the construction of experimental devices, and then to the completion of the experiment.]

It will take about 25 to 30 days to complete, and the total cost of the experiment is about 60 million... I discussed with Mr. Wang how to handle this cost issue, and we decided not to go through inter-departmental settlement.

"Completed in thirty days? It seems 624's capabilities are stronger than expected. I originally thought it would take forty or even fifty days."

Seeing that he had solved a problem that would normally take at least three months by improving it daily, Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised once again.

Based on this speed, it would take him another year and a half to perfect the supercharged engine on his own, but he could complete it in less than six months.

"That's right, within reasonable limits, more people means more power."

"The industrial monster is unleashing its full power..."

Lin Dong gave a thumbs-up, picked up the keyboard, and quickly replied: [Okay, if Uncle Jiao isn't at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base when he gets back to 624, any questions about cross-unit issues can be sent to my godfather's email. Don't worry about the cost.]

Compared to testing ordinary engines, the cost of supercharged engine testing is almost double, but 60 million is still a small amount.

After all, money was just a number to him a few years ago.

Although he could forcibly calculate the core data by relying on his soul vision perception and his profound knowledge of engine science and aerodynamics without experimentation, simply by perfecting it every day.

However, improving it every day is too time-consuming and energy-intensive, and it is far more cost-effective to spend tens of millions to have 624 make experimental equipment and run it on the test bench once.

Sixty million a month, less than four hundred million in six months, and that's enough to conquer the supercharged engine technology...

Although it was just a small, super-exciting engine he used to create the Hot Number and play around with gadgets, it was enough to make people laugh out loud.

After all, once the technology is developed, medium and large-sized fighter jets will not be far off, and global fighter jets with Mach 10 scramjet engines will not be far off either.

Just then, a soft sound of a pot hitting the table was heard outside, and a rich aroma of mutton soup wafted in through the crack in the door, followed by Zhou Xiaoyan's shout.

"Lingling, dinner's ready...call Xiaodong to come out and eat."

"Okay, Lin Dong, you can eat now."

Xu Qingling cheered and rushed into the study like a gust of wind, calling Lin Dong to go out for dinner.

"Uncle Xu is back?"

Lin Dong logged out of his email, shut down his computer, stood up, and asked.

"I'm back. I came back with my mom at 5:30. I left work on time."

Xu Qingling responded and, without saying a word, picked up all the papers on the table and stuffed them into the shredder, regardless of whether they were written on or not.

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling went out to wash their hands and sat down in their usual seats.

A pot of milky white Jianyang mutton soup was already laid out on the table, along with some washed pea shoots, spicy tofu with minced meat (a common dish on the table), and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

At this moment, Xu Ziming, wearing a floral apron, brought out a plate of stir-fried cured pork with dried chili peppers and red oil. He casually asked Lin Dong a question.

"Xiao Dong, did your dad go on a business trip to the National University of Defense Technology today?"

"Yes."

Lin Dong took the bowl of mutton soup that Zhou Xiaoyan helped him serve and briefly explained the situation: "His project requires cooperation with the National University of Defense Technology. Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group alone cannot handle it, so headquarters has already helped coordinate it."

"I see."

Xu Ziming sat down and looked at Lin Dong, explaining, "That Xia Tianqiang, Engineer Xia, Guoan has been investigating for a few days without any problems."

There have been no signs of leaks in the two strategic projects he participated in at Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group in recent years. I have already told him today that he has joined the core of the project team.

The next part of the project involves the Technology R&D Department and the Final Assembly Department; you can send him a copy of that as well.

"So, Dad, does that mean you can go fishing again?"

Xu Qingling took a sip of soup and, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder you came home from get off work at 5:30 today."

"Cough cough cough—"

Xu Ziming was taken aback, but then calmly said, "I came back early to cook for you, otherwise your mother wouldn't be able to manage by herself."

Lin Dong wasn't interested in the personnel arrangements within the Technology R&D Department and the General Assembly Department. He picked up a piece of mutton with the skin on, took a bite, savored its tender taste, and nodded, saying, "Uncle Xu, the project's progress will be accelerated from here on out."

It's December 19th now, so in about a month and a half, the entire design plan needs to be finalized before the Spring Festival.

"So fast?"

Xu Ziming's face stiffened.

The J-16D is a large fighter jet with a length of 22 meters, a wingspan of 14 meters, and a height of 6.4 meters.

Although it involves the development of an electronic warfare aircraft and does not involve the development of the entire aircraft, the workload is much smaller than that of developing a large fighter jet from scratch. However, the overall mission is still much more extensive than the WZ-8 project, which is less than 12 meters long.

The elite team he hired simply couldn't handle completing the design in a month and a half. So, he still had to work overtime to step up.
