Genius is just the threshold for me!

Around 6 p.m., the high-speed train arrived at Chengdu East Station.

Lin Dong and his group had dinner, and at 7 p.m., with the help of security personnel, they took a car back.

Wang Xingguo and his two companions each drove their own car, while Lin Dong and Xu Qingling drove their own car. Together with the security vehicles in front and behind, the group of six cars crossed the city and returned to the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base.

"Uncle Wang, is security this strong now?"

Xu Qingling looked out the window at the green lights all the way, with patrol motorcycles leading the way and guarding both sides, and no car could get close. She couldn't help but marvel slightly.

Keep in mind that it's 7 p.m., which is almost the peak traffic period.

This route crosses the city center under full traffic control, with regulations almost at their highest level.

"He doesn't go out much these days unless it's something important..."

Lin Dong shook his head. After the J-16D fighter jet took on six opponents at once, Wang Xingguo was assigned the same treatment.

However, Wang Xingguo wasn't particularly impressed with this treatment, feeling that while it was high-class, it wasn't as cool as flying a fighter jet.

Since then, unless there's an emergency, I've stayed at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base and haven't gone out.

soon.

Traffic was controlled throughout the entire route, and the journey that normally takes fifty minutes to cover more than 20 kilometers was completed in twenty minutes.

"Wow--"

"They're back! They're back!"

As soon as Lin Dong and his group entered the residential area, Su Yue, Li Tao, Huang Qingyao, and others, who were strolling outside, came over.

"Lin Dong, Qing Ling, you two have to buy me milk tea to console me for watching the military parade on TV while you're here in person!"

Su Yue cheered and was the first to run over, loudly announcing that she was going to forcibly take advantage of the wealthy.

"Tell Uncle Su to work harder, maybe it will be possible to do it in 19," Xu Qingling suggested with a smile.

"Yesterday, during lunch and dinner, I already used the 'motivational father' technique on Comrade Su," Su Yue replied repeatedly. "He has already promised me that he will strive to improve himself."

Although the 19 military parade has not yet been announced, everyone knows that there will be one every ten years based on the long-standing tradition.

"Lin Dong, Xu Qingling..."

At this moment, Li Tao stepped forward and whispered, "I heard you all went to a family dinner?"

Ok?

As soon as Li Tao said this, Huang Qingyao, Jiang Caiping, Zhang Yihao and others all turned their attention to him.

"I had a meal with Uncle Wang and his family."

Lin Dong nodded, not hiding anything.

He understood that by arranging for a car to pick them up from the hotel openly and legitimately, this family dinner also served to send a signal, in addition to the purpose of chatting.

As the saying goes, it's hard to find a dull person living in the capital.

Such a private car departs openly, picks up people, and returns openly; within half an hour, word will reach the eyes of a group of people with ulterior motives.

Then, some of them will find out who was invited, and by analyzing the identity of the person being invited, they can determine the information and attitude contained therein.

The military parade sends a signal to the outside world, and the family banquet sends a signal to the inside world... In layman's terms, it's like giving advance notice now, so everyone should think twice before doing anything and be careful not to cause trouble.

After all, for a new industry to develop, it's not enough to simply benefit the country and its people; there will inevitably be clashes of various interests involved.

There are representatives of old industries who don't want new industries to spread and take up space, local bullies who want to take advantage of the situation and make huge profits, and a lot of speculative capital, etc.

Balancing the interests of all parties and managing their forces requires not only strong power and resolute courage, but also a great deal of wisdom.

"hiss--"

Li Tao and Zhang Yihao gasped upon receiving the confirmation, while Huang Qingyao and Jiang Caiping also showed a hint of shock.

They are now in high school. Because of their family environment and their parents' upbringing, they can see a little bit about these things. Although they can't see everything, they can understand the significance of this family dinner.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Su Yue gave a thumbs up, then exclaimed in surprise, "Was the food at the leader's family dinner delicious?"

"It was delicious, I ate three big bowls."

Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh, glanced at the time, and waved, "Milk tea, one cup each, that's all. Huang Qingyao, you drank it all last time and even took some home..."

"You said you'd treat us, but you didn't specify how many drinks..."

Huang Qingyao's sophistry was completely unfounded.

After being extorted so many times, Lin Dong finally managed to get her money back once. If it weren't for the short shelf life of milk tea, she would have packed ten cups and put them in the refrigerator.

With that, the group of seven moved on to a milk tea shop.

Halfway there, seeing Zhang Yihao and Jiang Caiping, Li Tao and Su Yue walking together ahead, Huang Qingyao couldn't help but look up at the summer starry sky.

After a two-second silence, he decisively walked over to Lin Dong and Xu Qingling, who were holding hands, and pulled Xu Qingling away.

"My Qingling, I met her in kindergarten, give her back to me..."

"..."

Lin Dong's lips twitched as he looked at Huang Qingyao, but he was too lazy to argue with this single, resentful woman, and let the two of them go off to chat.

"Hey, brothers and sisters."

Upon arriving at the milk tea shop, the group ordered milk tea and went outside.

Li Tao had just sat down when he suddenly remembered something, looked up solemnly and said, "I have received definite news..."

"Brother Tao, what major news have you heard this time?"

Lin Dong sat alone to one side, drinking milk tea, looking at the starry sky and enjoying the cool evening breeze. Hearing this, he casually replied with a straight man's joke.

Autumn came early this year, and the lingering heat of late summer died down early. By early September, it was already noticeably cool in the evenings.

"We at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group are building a large bomber!" Li Tao looked around and said softly.

"...You're only finding out now?" Su Yue, sitting next to him, was speechless upon hearing this.

"You found out?"

Please bookmark the only official website for Deqi Novels: www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Li Tao opened his eyes wide, then looked at Huang Qingyao, Zhang Yihao, and the others who didn't seem too surprised, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Read more books; you only ranked over 800th in the city on the high school entrance exam..."

Su Yue took a sip of milk tea and muttered, "Such a big workshop, and the Huangtianba test airport next door has also been expanded. IT Avenue has been moved outward by more than a thousand meters to make room for the airport expansion."

With such a huge undertaking and so much money being poured into it, even a fool would know they're building an enormous, super-sized aircraft; it's just that it can't be posted online...

An aircraft of this size is either a large civilian airliner, a large transport aircraft, or a large strategic bomber.

"Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group has already built the large transport aircraft. What's left are civilian airliners and strategic bombers? What do you think Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group is building?"

"I...how come I didn't notice these things?" Li Tao was a little confused. Goodness, it's the little lamp that's blind to what's under its own nose.

"Stop spending so much time on forums and online communities. You're living at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base, and you're not even paying attention to firsthand, on-site intelligence. You're just believing everything you read online..."

Su Yue reminded him irritably, "Don't get caught in a trap one day and become the second Wang Rui... Oh no, Uncle Li isn't high enough level. You can't even be Wang Rui if you want to. Lin Dong is a better option."

You've been phished; there's a high chance you'll fall for it and lose 150 million.

"Be careful, or I might betray you and turn you into a pile of cold, lifeless 150 million."

"I--"

Li Tao's eyes widened. He could usually argue with Su Yue for three hundred rounds, but at this moment he was completely powerless to refute her...

Soon, around 9 p.m., the group dispersed.

Lin Dong saw that Huang Qingyao was still clinging to Xu Qingling, holding her hand and saying that she would go over to sleep with Xu Qingling tonight, Saturday. He shook his head and ignored her, then said goodbye to Xu Qingling and walked home.

When she got home, Zhang Xiali and Lin Weiliang were still not back.

Lin Dong went into the study, accessed the intranet, logged into his authorized account, entered a video monitoring address, and then entered a security verification code.

Di-

Inside a massive workshop, a bustling assembly line was displayed on a 34-inch computer screen.

Wang Xingguo and Xu Ziming, who just returned today, and Xia Tianqiang, who returned yesterday, along with Chen Jianhua and dozens of other core researchers and engineers from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, led their respective teams of hundreds of mid-level engineers.

Everyone was wearing dustproof suits and five-point safety harnesses, standing on hydraulic mechanical platforms that were seven or eight meters or even more than ten meters high.

Following the design drawings, they discussed and operated various mechanical lifting tools, high-precision automatic riveting instruments, and high-precision laser welding machines to skin pieces of carbon fiber composite material with stringer structures, along with numerous sensors and various supporting precision instruments and equipment.

They were continuously installing an aircraft with a wingspan of 35.6 meters, a length of 37.5 meters, and a height of 11.3 meters in the center of the workshop. The wings and fuselage were integrated into one piece, forming a triangular shape, but it was still just an overall frame of the aircraft...

According to the procedure, this part of the final assembly should be completed by late November, at which time test flights can begin...

As for the exposure that Li Tao and Su Yue just mentioned, it's not a serious matter.

After all, the modern information society is not the last century, and the development of large strategic bombers cannot be kept secret from the enemy.

In order to meet the take-off and landing needs of bombers, the Huangtianba test airport next to the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base has expanded its runway length from 2500 meters to 3050 meters in the past two years.

The airport was originally planned to be renovated in 2013 and renamed Xiyuan Avenue, which is now IT Avenue. Not only has the renovation project been halted, but the road has also been demolished and moved thousands of meters away... These developments could not escape the attention and analysis of those who were interested.

But knowing about research and development, knowing that there are airplanes, is useless.

As long as the most core parameters and combat data are not leaked, simply knowing that there is a bomber does not pose much of a threat.

"Large strategic bombers... study sessions have all been cancelled, and final assembly will take two or three months..."

"Fortunately, we chose the whole-section manufacturing solution, with the core structure molded as a single unit. Otherwise, the high-precision docking of the wing sections, plus the final assembly, would have taken at least two years to complete."

As Lin Dong watched the bustling scene in the video, a sense of melancholy flashed in his eyes. He had little experience in this area and couldn't get involved, nor would anyone let him get involved.

Having served as the project's chief engineer for the past few years, he can clearly feel that the progress of modern technology systems and the development of modern industrial systems cannot be separated from the concerted efforts of a large number of elites.

An individual genius can only break through one or two steps, but if the team is not supportive, even the most talented genius will be pulled back when taking the third step.

"To truly reach the stars, it's not enough to rely on just one or two projects; it requires the collective improvement of the entire industrial system, countless industries, and countless talents..."

A flash of understanding crossed Lin Dong's eyes, and he gradually began to form ideas and plans for the next step in the industrial development.

"but……"

Thinking of this, Lin Dong suddenly realized something, his expression froze, and he said with a headache, "Going into business, this is like facing a golden retriever's attack!"
