Genius is just the threshold for me!

Di-

Once the file is opened, the entire interface is locked, and two password boxes pop up. At this point, you can't do anything except exit or enter the password.

Lin Dong was not surprised by this situation.

Because a test video of an engine can reveal some things, but not much, while the data from the entire test process can reveal most of the engine's true nature.

Therefore, the confidentiality and prevention measures for the two are definitely different.

Following the two sets of passwords agreed upon privately with Jiao You, he quickly typed them into the keyboard and then pressed the Enter key.

"Hmm? The test data is so complicated and tedious?"

Lin Dong glanced at the data above, and his expression immediately froze.

This test data is even more complicated and intricate than his first self-designed engine, the Hot No. 1.

This means that the programming algorithm controlling the Red Ghost engine, and the FADEC design that governs this engine, are utter garbage...

"I think I understand why the fuel consumption isn't up to standard..."

Lin Dong's expression turned somewhat strange. He scrolled down with the mouse and quickly found more than a hundred key data points in the vast amount of raw data. He then opened the control system of another engine in the attachment, quickly looked through it, and confirmed his guess.

That is, the engine control system, the design of FADEC, is not well matched with the engine's hardware design.

"Fortunately, it's just the control algorithm that's malfunctioning..."

Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the cause. As long as it was an algorithm and system problem, it wasn't a problem.

The engine for the Red Ghost project was his design, and 624 then carried out research and development. Compared with the Emei project, every detail of the design and every part was explored and developed by himself, so his understanding of the entire engine was definitely not as in-depth.

Furthermore, the 624's engine control algorithm and FADE design capabilities were still at a conventional level, ultimately resulting in a good engine design that could not perfectly deliver its performance.

"No wonder modern fighter jets need to be tested and adjusted for two to three years after they are rolled out before they can be officially put into service... Uncle Jiao has ascended to heaven, but his ascension is not yet complete."

Lin Dong shook his head, created a new file, and spent more than ten minutes writing an algorithm for the engine control system, as well as a framework scheme for the corresponding FADEC system. After encrypting it, he uploaded it to an email.

[Jiao, regarding the mismatch between the engine control system and the FADEC design, please refer to the attached algorithm and framework and rewrite the system to develop a new one.]

"All done, off work, time to work on my thesis at home..."

Lin Dong sent out the email, checked the emails from Engineer Xia and Engineer Huang regarding the project progress, confirmed that the project was progressing as planned, closed his email, took his keys, and went home.

Crack—

The sweltering summer wind rushed in through the open door, dispelling some of the cool air from the air conditioner.

Xia Ran, holding her unfinished milk tea, changed into a pair of slippers and was about to close the door and go inside.

At that moment, another elevator arrived.

Xia Tianqiang stepped out of the elevator and, seeing his daughter, immediately called out, "Hey! Ranran, wait until the doors close!"

"Dad, aren't you staying to work overtime today? You're leaving get off work so punctually?" Xia Ran turned around and asked Xia Tianqiang curiously, looking at him in his work uniform.

"I have something to do when I get back today."

Xia Tianqiang changed his shoes and went inside with Xia Ran.

Just then, He Ying heard the noise and came out, looking at the father and daughter curiously, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"I was invited to watch the parade on the side of the rostrum on September 3rd, and there was also a family member spot available for the viewing platform in the square..." Xia Tianqiang briefly recounted what Wang Xingguo had told him.

"Were you invited to observe the ceremony from the side of the city gate tower?"

He Ying's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and her eyes snapped towards Xia Tianqiang: "What exactly have you been researching for the past three years? What about the confidentiality regulations? Or did Engineer Wang and the others ask you to protect some kind of project?"

The most prestigious seats for watching the military parade are undoubtedly on the top of the city gate tower, followed by the viewing platforms on both sides of the tower, and then the multiple viewing platforms erected in the square...

The city gate tower is not something ordinary people can even dream of. Apart from political figures from various countries, normally only those who have received medals or made special contributions can go up there.

Those who can watch the ceremony from either side of the city gate are usually not ordinary people; they are either top dignitaries from various countries, top representatives from various fields, or top academicians.

Even the CEOs of multi-billion dollar corporations and heads of technology companies were invited to sit in the square, at most in a central location.

But now.

Xia Tianqiang, an engineer who wasn't even an academician and could at most be considered a deputy minister, was invited to be stationed on the side of the city gate...

It's important to understand that military research itself requires secrecy.

Although personnel in the military industry are also invited to attend the ceremony, most of the invitations are for people whose positions are publicly disclosed or whose positions are already publicly known.

This made He Ying wonder what kind of equipment Xia Tianqiang had been researching over the past few years.

However, if they were researching some kind of strategic equipment, they would only increase secrecy and would not arrange for it to be shown in public like this.

Such a public appearance could only mean that the person is being treated as a protector of some clandestine strategic plan, and is deliberately exposing themselves to attract attention.

"I was already exposed..."

Xia Tianqiang looked at his wife's piercing gaze and didn't say what project he was researching. He just smiled bitterly and said, "The spies have already sent a younger version of you to me."

I even suspect that these spies believe that my rapid breakthrough in the J-16D project is directly related to another strategic project of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

As for the protection plan you mentioned…”

Xia Tianqiang glanced at Xia Ran as he spoke, but then continued, remembering that it was all public information: "I don't know if there's such a plan, but this time, besides me, three other people and their families from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group were invited to attend the ceremony."

"Engineer Wang, Engineer Lin, Engineer Xu?" He Ying immediately guessed who it was.

"right."

Xia Tianqiang nodded: "We are all being closely watched by spies."

"I know, Engineer Wang's spy daughter-in-law..."

He Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Engineer Wang and Engineer Lin are both going, then there's no problem. You're still insignificant in front of them. As for the family members' attendance slots, let Ranran go..."

As He Ying spoke, she looked at Xia Ran on the other side and said, "It's just in time for her to start school, so it will be convenient for her to participate."

"Mom, don't you want to go?" Xia Ran asked curiously.

"Even if I go, I can't sit with your dad. It's better if we sit separately."

He Ying shook her head and said with a smile, "This is a rare experience for you."

As a highly educated individual, He Ying naturally understood what such a quota of people attending the ceremony represented.

It's impossible for me to use it to give presentations or put it on my resume.

But as long as you appear on the list, the school will definitely know, and then there will be an invisible improvement in your treatment.

"it is good."

Xia Ran nodded, then, as if remembering something, said to He Ying and Xia Tianqiang, "Mom and Dad, I'm going out to play for a few days the day after tomorrow."

"Going out for a few days?" He Ying paused, then asked, "Where to?"

"Go to Lin Dong's hometown, to his grandparents' place."

Xia Ran explained, "Yao Yao, Qing Ling, Yue Yue, and Li Tao all went together. Lin Dong said he would cover all the expenses for food, accommodation, and sightseeing."

"Lin Dong's hometown..."

He Ying paused for a moment, glanced at Xia Tianqiang, and nodded, saying, "Okay, then Mom will prepare a gift for Grandpa and Grandma Lin Dong tomorrow, and transfer some money to you as well."

Lin Dong said he would cover the food and lodging expenses, but when going out for fun, guests would still have to pay for their own meals.

"Mom, I understand."

Xia Ran smiled and put the finished milk tea in the trash can: "I'm going to my room to read. Mom, call me when it's time to eat."

"it is good."

He Ying smiled and replied, watching Xia Ran turn and go into the room to close the door. Her gaze involuntarily turned to her husband beside her, and she whispered, "Tianqiang, you said Ranran's feelings for Lin Dong..."

"Don't overthink it."

Xia Tianqiang gently shook his head: "Ranran is much more cheerful now. When she goes to university in a few months, we won't see each other every day, but time will make her forget everything."

"It's fine if you don't mention Ranran going to college, but it makes me feel bad..."

He Ying's expression immediately fell, and her eyes reddened as she said, "I haven't even had a few years to spend with her before she skipped a grade and went to university."

"I really can't bear to part with you. Why don't you take a leave of absence and go to Tsinghua University to accompany me?" Xia Tian forced a smile and comforted him, "I can manage on my own at home."

"You're already in university, why are you still accompanying your daughter? People will laugh at you..."

He Ying replied irritably, sniffing as she said, "I'm just worried about her major. I told her to go to Northwestern Polytechnical University to study aerospace or aircraft design, and then come work at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group after graduation, but she wouldn't listen. Instead, she insisted on going to Tsinghua University to study some kind of engineering physics."

"I think this is pretty good."

Xia Tianqiang chuckled and said, "By the time Ranran graduates with her master's and doctoral degrees, we may have already surpassed the United States in aircraft design. At that time, the demand for this area will not be so urgent, and the development prospects will not be so good."

The future prospects of aerospace are promising, but as for professional matters, it's up to Ranran herself to decide what she likes; as long as it's not too bad, it's fine.

Engineering physics—that's the future direction.

Ranran is talented. She can pursue a career in semiconductors, nuclear fusion, cosmology, or particle physics...
