Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Haha, Weiliang, your pet robot is still not smart enough."

Wang Xingguo, Su Ruohua, and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

"Brother Lin, we're one short for mahjong, let's start..."

Xu Ziming ignored Lin Weiliang's joke and waved to Lin Weiliang, urging him to make sure they were one player short.

But when she suddenly saw Lin Dong sitting there holding Xu Qingling's hand, she fell silent for half a second before looking back at Lin Weiliang.

"There's no rush for mahjong during the New Year, how about... Brother Lin, you play a game first? If you don't discipline your child on New Year's Eve, you'll have to wait until next year."

"You can do it too."

Lin Weiliang replied irritably, then looked at his little white dog, which was still flying in the air showing off, and turned to Lin Dong to give instructions.

"Remember to add privacy protection features to this robot. Don't make it like those stupid robots developed by civilian companies on the market that blurt out everything they hear."

"This feature has been around for a while now, Dad. Go play mahjong, I'll answer the study questions they sent me today."

Lin Dong nodded.

I opened the learning progress email that Engineer Huang replied to at noon today.

Because tomorrow, Friday, is the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone received their study assignments in advance.

[Wang Xingguo]: Mr. Huang, you need to continue to study and understand the latest silicon carbide high-voltage platform technology in more depth.

With breakthroughs in silicon carbide mass production technology, future fighter jets will need to better adapt to extreme environments. Silicon carbide, as a wide-bandgap semiconductor, inherently possesses high-temperature resistance and radiation resistance, making it an essential choice for future fighter jet power supply platforms. The following are the learning tasks for the new week…

Lin Dong glanced at the learning email that Huang Weibing had reported.

He typed and replied in less than two seconds, followed by a study outline for the following week and more than thirty paper numbers.

"Yes, Uncle Huang is quite capable; he reported that he had completed 76% of his learning tasks a day and a half ahead of schedule..."

Lin Dong sent the email, smiling and nodding in satisfaction: "If you can do this for several weeks in a row, we can add more tasks next time."

"Dongdong..."

Looking at the smile on Lin Dong's face, Xu Qingling handed him some shelled sunflower seeds and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that when you grow up and your true identity is revealed, Uncle Huang and the others will find out the truth?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just teaching and imparting knowledge. In the future, they'll have to call me Teacher Xiao Dong, just like Uncle Jiao."

Lin Dong took the melon seeds and ate them in one gulp. He then moved the mouse to open the second email from Xia Tianqiang, glanced at it, and continued replying.

[Wang Xingguo]: Xia Gong, aerospace manufacturing and engineering are closely linked to the real industrial system. You should pay close attention to the latest reports on intelligent manufacturing and industrial upgrading. In the future, aerospace manufacturing and space assembly engineering will almost have to guarantee zero error tolerance.

Such projects require all conditions to be calculated in advance on the ground, and related parts must also use smart manufacturing to create a twin data file, completing all parts matching work on the ground to ensure zero errors...

You've completed 89% of your tasks this week, which is excellent. Here are your learning tasks for the new week!

Lin Dong quickly prepared a study outline and reference papers for the following week, but paused for a moment just as he was about to send the email.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingling noticed Lin Dong's reaction immediately.

"If we continue learning like this, there won't be enough published papers soon."

Lin Dong frowned and said, "Even in Xia Gong's specific field of expertise, he can only study for another three months."

The core team of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) is itself deeply involved in the forefront of their respective industries.

At this point, further learning should be aimed at exploring new fields and new industries.

By then, there will be no academic papers to use as learning references.

Especially in the field of aerospace manufacturing, which is an extremely niche but also extremely high-end field, no one except for aerospace research institutes in the same field would publish papers in this area.

Unlike Huang's electrical systems, the domestic market sees a large number of cutting-edge papers and patents emerging every year.

Especially with the current development of new energy vehicles, the number of papers and patents in this field is exploding at a rapid pace, providing ample opportunity for Engineer Huang to continue learning and delving into the subject.

"...Then just point Uncle Xia and Uncle Cai in a direction."

Xu Qingling had a basic understanding of research and learning, and upon hearing this, she immediately smiled and said, "This way, they will encounter more difficulties, think more deeply, and achieve better learning results. At the same time, it will also better satisfy your interest in being a teacher..."

"OK!"

"You've learned to slander me too. What do you mean by 'satisfying my penchant for teaching'? I'm leading the entire team to progress..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong playfully pinched Xu Qingling's cheek, then said, "Then let's leave it at that. They'll all be heading into the no-man's-land, so let them explore it slowly..."

talking.

Lin Dong raised his hand and pressed the email send shortcut.

He then replied to some emails, closed his laptop and put it aside, and watched the Spring Festival Gala and fireworks with Xu Qingling.

Ring ring—

Just then, the doorbell rang, followed by Xia Tianqiang's voice coming through the intercom.

"Engineer Lin, Engineer Zhang..."

"They're here, they're here."

Zhang Xiali pressed the microphone button on the walkie-talkie and answered.

As she spoke, she went over and opened the door. Immediately, Huang Qingyao emerged first, accompanied by a gust of wind.

"Happy New Year's Eve, Aunt Xia!"

"Aunt Xia, Happy New Year's Eve..."

Xia Ran stood in front of Xia Tianqiang and He Ying and addressed them in the same way.

"Happy New Year's Eve! It's cold outside, come in quickly. Xiao Dong and Qing Ling are watching TV inside..." Zhang Xiali hurriedly brought out several pairs of slippers and invited them in.

"Yaoyao, Xia Ran!"

Hearing the noise, Xu Qingling came out and grabbed Huang Qingyao, asking curiously, "Yaoyao, why did you come with Uncle Xia and the others? Why didn't Uncle Huang Xinhua and the others come?"

"Tonight, everyone here in Lindong is either the chief engineer or a minister. Comrade Huang Xinhua, being just a director, is too guilty to come over..."

Huang Qingyao politely called out to Wang Xingguo, Lin Weiliang, and the others, then pulled Xu Qingling aside and said helplessly, "I heard that the fireworks have been moved to a different location this year. The balcony here in Lindong has the best view."

That guy in November insisted that I do a live video broadcast in the group chat for them, otherwise he would betray me and stop being my class monitor next semester…”

Xia Ran came in and politely greeted the adults. She then said to Xu Qingling, "She told me about this before we even had New Year's Eve dinner."

But I was too embarrassed to come alone during the Chinese New Year... so I waited until now to come and wish them a Happy New Year with us.

"The fireworks will start in two minutes."

Lin Dong came out at this moment, overheard Huang Qingyao's plan, took out a phone stand from the locker and handed it to her: "You can set up your phone in advance..."

"No problem, let's go!"

Huang Qingyao grabbed the phone stand and pulled Xu Qingling and Xia Ran to the balcony.

"I won! I'm not playing anymore. Everyone, let's watch the fireworks first. Xia Gong, you can play with these guys later..." At this moment, Su Ruohua won a hand and stood up to invite everyone to watch the fireworks.

boom!

Just as everyone reached the vicinity of the balcony, a huge flame rose from an open space 600 meters away from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base.

Immediately afterwards, thirteen smaller streaks of fire flew up...

"Fireworks are coming in the fifteenth of the month!"

Huang Qingyao shouted.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The whole world was instantly illuminated.

A firework with a diameter of 200 meters bloomed in the highest sky, its brilliant light and colors instantly covering the entire firmament. This was followed by thirteen smaller fireworks, and together all fourteen fireworks filled the world.

Lin Dong didn't go out onto the balcony. He stood in the living room watching the spectacular fireworks display in the distance. Then his gaze fell on Xu Qingling, who was standing with Huang Qingyao and Xia Ran, leaning against the railing and watching the fireworks.

next moment.

Xu Qingling seemed to sense something, turned her head to look over, and the moment her eyes met Lin Dong's, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After watching the fireworks and staying up all night, the new year quietly arrives.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Tao, Su Yue, and other children of different ages returned home one after another. In addition, with the launch of the J-20 fighter jet replacement project, the entire community once again returned to its lively and bustling state.

Lin Dong didn't join in the excitement. He handled project matters as usual, including study emails from Xia Tianqiang and others, as well as the progress of his new Hot Spicy Rotary Detonation Engine.

"Professor Xiao Dong, based on your suggestions, the control scheme has been optimized, and the rotating detonation can now achieve initial ground static stability..."

Laboratory No. 78

Lin Dong looked at the email Jiao You sent and first opened the attached video.

This is a closed testing workshop. A rough-looking prototype, about 420 millimeters in diameter but only about 1300 millimeters in length, is fixed on the test stand.

Carbon fiber tubing and high-voltage wiring for ignition are connected to the prototype of this engine.

Di-

At this moment, the engine started and spewed out a ball of blue flame.

The next second, the flames instantly turned into a beam of blue light.

Rumbling--

The entire device trembled incessantly, as if trying to break free from its fixed constraints, and the test stand, weighing over ten tons and rigidly connected to the foundation, also trembled continuously.

Lin Dong looked at it carefully for a moment, then opened the second video in the attachment.

This time, the video was captured by a high-speed camera at the engine's exhaust nozzle.

The footage captured by a high-speed camera at 100,000 frames per second is then played back at a speed that is 10,000 times slower.

What appears to be a blue, beam-like tail flame in normal vision is actually a series of flames burning and rotating in a detonation-like manner inside the nozzle.

"This device is really stable... It's a pity it's still a hydrogen detonation."

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, but then he shook his head with some regret.

Because hydrogen is a gas and has a lower combustion delay, using hydrogen as fuel in a rotating detonation engine is at least one to two orders of magnitude easier than using kerosene.

However, due to the safe storage conditions of hydrogen and the issue of hydrogen density, fighter jets simply cannot use hydrogen as fuel.

"However, now that we have static control data for hydrogen detonation, the next step is to break through the dynamic control of hydrogen detonation."

Once the entire hydrogen detonation process is successfully completed, we can then switch from hydrogen to aviation kerosene. At this pace, it should be finished by the end of the year…”

Lin Dong mentally estimated the details and then opened the third attachment.

Suddenly, a large amount of test data filled the 200-inch screen.

Lin Dong moved the mouse down and carefully reviewed all the data. He then picked up a sheet of draft paper and meticulously verified the data.

slam-la-

The pen tip made a rustling sound as it glided across the paper.

The densely packed formulas, symbols, and data from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and aerodynamics quickly filled the pages.

Lin Dong had been calculating for half an hour. When the last data appeared on the paper, his eyes paused for a moment, and then his brows slowly relaxed.

—We have the preliminary data for the dynamic control model!
