Genius is just the threshold for me!

buzzing-

At 10:20, accompanied by the sound of the high-speed train's generator, the G89 high-speed train, a new benchmark for direct high-speed rail service from the capital to Chengdu, which had been in operation for less than a month, quickly departed from the Capital West Station.

Lin Dong and his group boarded the last, confidential carriage of the train.

Wang Xingguo gestured to the train attendant not to come over, and instead locked the door and took out the equipment to test the entire carriage.

Finally, he turned on the anti-eavesdropping device, looked at a faintly discernible mountain peak in the distance, and then at the scenery rushing past the window, a hint of emotion on his face.

"Sigh, after piloting fighter jets for decades, now that this high-speed rail line is open, I won't be able to fly fighter jets anymore unless it's an emergency..."

"Godfather, if Godmother hears you say that, she definitely won't give you a good look."

Lin Dong, sitting in a spacious seat looking at his laptop, immediately laughed upon hearing this and said, "Last time, your godmother had you changed your J-10S flight to a Shenyang Aircraft Corporation J-11BS flight..."

The J-10S is a medium-sized fighter jet with only a single engine. If the engine malfunctions, the risk factor will be extremely high.

The J-11BS is a heavy fighter jet with a twin-engine configuration. If one engine fails, the other engine can take over and complete the landing, making it safer.

Compared to traveling by fighter jet, high-speed rail special trains are safer, though of course, they aren't as prestigious.

"Don't even mention it. Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's crappy fighter jets, designed like they were for archaeological digging and grave excavation, are awkward to sit in and out of place." Wang Xingguo's comment was a biased criticism.

"Dongdong..."

Xu Qingling watched Lin Weiliang and Xu Ziming working on their laptops on the other side, and then listened to Lin Dong and Wang Xingguo's conversation. Suddenly, she thought of something, leaned over to Lin Dong, and asked with a curious and slightly strange expression.

"I saw a rumor online that the only high-speed trains that originally ran directly from the capital to Chengdu were the G307 and G308 trains, which pass through 20 stations."

The G89 train, which only stops at four stations, was scheduled to open in two years, but suddenly someone requested that it be sped up and opened earlier, and the opening date was changed...

"Ask your godfather about that."

Lin Dong smiled and pointed at Wang Xingguo.

"Why do you ask me? I don't want to take the high-speed rail. If this thing opens, I won't be able to ride in a fighter jet until I'm not even sixty years old..."

Wang Xingguo replied, but seeing Xu Qingling's curious gaze, his lips twitched and he fell silent, saying, "A few months ago, the leader mentioned it, and I, as a representative, proposed it, and it was approved ahead of schedule..."

talking.

Wang Xingguo looked at Lin Dong and said irritably, "Now the entire domestic military industry system, and even the entire scientific research community, are saying that I, Wang Xingguo, am arrogant because of my achievements, and my arrogance is about to reach the sky."

Spending millions on fireworks every year is one thing, but you can also call it employee benefits.

Now they say they want convenient travel and meetings, they don't want to fly on military planes or fighter jets, and they even want to interfere with the planning of high-speed rail lines...

Wang Xingguo felt a lot of resentment when he talked about this. He could forgive the guy for taking the blame for technical and research problems.

Now we're taking care of this kid's safety on the go, and we're even making him take the blame and act like a self-satisfied egomaniac...

"Like this..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingling took a bottle of water and handed it over, smiling happily, "Uncle Wang, you've worked hard."

"See, Qingling is the most sensible one."

Wang Xingguo took the water and said with a smile, "When did you become so thoughtful, kid...?"

"Should I bring two bottles of Maotai to my godfather tomorrow?" Lin Dong asked.

"You'd better not come..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xingguo quickly took two steps back. His nightmare of taking the blame began with two bottles of Shuijingfang liquor, and now it had escalated to Maozi (a type of Chinese liquor), which was going to kill him.

"See, you don't want it even if I give it to you."

Lin Dong replied curtly. After reviewing the latest feedback data from the Red Ghost project in front of him, he pondered for a few seconds before looking up at Wang Xingguo and speaking.

"Godfather, the Red Ghost Bomb will be offline around mid-to-late November."

Following the procedure, after two weeks of repeated ground tests, the test pilot from the Air Force was asked to conduct the first flight, followed by repeated test flights...

This way, by mid-January, the military can coordinate an exercise to initially verify the combat effectiveness of the Red Ghost. If there are no problems, it can be handed over to the military for in-depth testing.

"So quickly, they've given it to the military for in-depth testing?"

Wang Xingguo looked somewhat surprised: "Can it really go this smoothly?"

As the chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC), Wang Xingguo is extremely familiar with the test flight procedures for fighter jets.

Apart from the "Hot Spicy" drone and the WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lin Dong, the entire test flight process for the other new fighter jets is calculated in years.

Once a fighter jet rolls off the production line, the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's technical department and flight test department conduct five to two weeks of ground testing. If any problems are found, the aircraft must be improved and verified again.

If there are no problems, the test pilots from the Third Test Flight Squadron of the Test Flight Regiment stationed at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group will be asked to conduct the first low-speed maiden flight.

At this time, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's own flight test department will also get involved, providing technical support and collecting data from the fighter jet's flight tests.

Any problems encountered during the process must be paused until the issues are resolved before continuing. This process continues until three consecutive low-speed test flights proceed without any issues before moving on to the next stage. This process includes high-speed test flights, long-range test flights, high-altitude test flights, supersonic test flights, nighttime tests, and, as needed, ocean test flights.

Normally, this flight test process takes four months to a year, or even longer.

Back then, the J-20 fighter jet underwent more than four months of test flights in this manner. Once it was confirmed that there were no safety issues, it was transferred to a local air force unit for in-depth testing of the fighter jet's combat system and all its details.

During the intensive testing phase, the flight test department must be involved throughout the entire process, collecting data and providing feedback to the technical department to improve any issues discovered. This process will continue for another one to two years before the fighter jet is officially finalized and put into service.

The J-20 fighter jet that Lin Dong shot down during an air combat exercise when he was in elementary school was still in the deep testing phase before being put into service, and had been transferred to the local air force for just over a year.

However, the Red Ghost bombarded the military and was taken offline in mid-to-late November. Lin Dong planned to conduct a live-fire exercise in mid-January, followed by in-depth testing at the military headquarters...

This means that from the maiden flight to the transfer to the military, there was only a little over a month, less than a month and a half.

This is completely unbelievable for a bomber with a million parts and a maximum takeoff weight of over two hundred tons.

In contrast, the US B-2 Spirit bomber took 7 years and 9 months from its first flight to its commissioning, with the test flight phase before in-depth testing taking five and a half years.

"From the time the system was taken offline to the time it was transferred to headquarters, it took about two months..."

Lin Dong smiled and said confidently, "As long as the test flight doesn't have any major problems, we'll have plenty of time."

"...Very well-off?"

Wang Xingguo's eyes widened, then he said speechlessly, "Now you're the chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, so you're in charge... Anyway, I haven't been the chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group for many years."

Although he was speechless at Lin Dong's generous words, he still trusted Lin Dong's insistence on the bottom line of manned fighter jet safety.

After all, given the previous emergency situation with the J-16D, he was thinking of completely trusting those guys at Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, believing that the overall design of the J-16D was safe, and planned to apply for a reduction in the number of ground tests and flight tests, go through the process once, and then send it to the East China Sea to start fighting.

However, Lin Dong insisted on completing the testing process, even considering staying up all night to test. Distracted attention would increase the risk factor, so the original three-test process was increased to five tests.

Lin Dong's plan to conduct live-fire exercises in mid-January, followed by in-depth testing by the military, is undoubtedly based on ensuring safety and preventing any issues.

"Godfather, once the Red Ghost completes its combat exercises, is it okay to do a special report on the J-20 fighter jet?"

Lin Dong looked at Wang Xingguo and earnestly explained his plan.

He hadn't forgotten the promise from headquarters that once the J-20 fighter jet project was launched and the actual combat was as planned, the project would be partially unblocked.

Now that the lockdown has been lifted, it would be even more effective to do a special report on it.

Since the J-20 fighter jet has already made its debut at this Victory Day parade, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Special Feature?"

Wang Xingguo was taken aback and looked at Lin Dong, asking, "Is this why you decided to conduct a live-fire exercise of the Red Phantom bombardment in mid-January?"

"Half and half."

Lin Dong didn't hide his thoughts and said with a smile, "If we finish this before the Lunar New Year, everyone can have a relaxing holiday."

The information about the J-20 fighter jet crash victims was not declassified until 2020. Lin Dongdu was already in university, and Zhang Zihua had graduated with a master's degree. Moreover, due to the need for secrecy, there was no widespread public reporting at the time.

This declassified document, eleven years overdue, completely immersing Zhang Zihua in his father's shadow, from which he never truly escaped.

If I could complete the declassification and release four years earlier in this life, and then produce a special report to help this increasingly silent close friend, it would be far more gratifying than undertaking a major project.

"……Can."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xingguo's eyes showed a hint of relief, and he nodded, saying, "I'll make the arrangements. We'll have multiple crews filming simultaneously, and it should be released by the end of the year without any problem."

However, those still on duty cannot appear in public, while others who have been transferred, are on sick leave, and their children, such as Zihua, can appear.

Although the biological program and the breakthrough in Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's scientific research have attracted attention, the spies' interest in the J-20 fighter jet, which has been under development for ten years, has dropped sharply.

However, maintaining confidentiality and protecting the information security of on-duty R&D personnel is a long-term task that cannot be relaxed.

"Those currently on duty definitely cannot be exposed, but they cannot appear on television. We can give them several months of performance bonuses."

Lin Dong agreed, then, as if struck by a thought, asked Wang Xingguo, "Should I call the leadership and ask them to broadcast it on Channel One?"

This kind of special report, which focuses on military industry and features the J-20 fighter jet, China's first fifth-generation fighter jet, is definitely qualified to be featured on TVB's main channel.

The filming took place in mid-January, and after editing, it wouldn't be finished until around February. However, February 7th is Lunar New Year's Eve, so it definitely wouldn't be released before the new year through normal procedures. We had to go through some back channels.

"..."

Wang Xingguo stared wide-eyed, speechless: "For such a small matter, you call your boss?"

"Otherwise, why would I need to talk to him?"

Lin Dong asked curiously, then thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll mention it next time he calls?"

"You'd better leave it alone, I'll handle this... wait!"

Wang Xingguo paused mid-sentence, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You should make the call. You have more influence. Just chat about everyday things, and then get down to business..."

"...Godfather, I'm still young. Don't teach me such scheming." Lin Dong rolled his eyes speechlessly, seeing through Wang Xingguo's little scheme at a glance.

"You know nothing, kid!"

Wang Xingguo reached out and slapped Lin Dong, saying irritably, "In your current situation, moral character is more important than anything else. This is your true intention, not an act..."
