Genius is just the threshold for me!

Holy crap!

On Riyue Avenue, in the direction of Huangtianba Airport's takeoff route.

The drivers stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief as the large bomber soared up from the right, and then felt the sky completely blocked out.

Before we knew it, the entire traffic flow had slowed down.

Many drivers rolled down their windows, listening to the gasps coming from below the road, and watching the bombers take off and disappear into the distance.

Some quick-reacting drivers even took out their phones to take blurry pictures, mostly obscured by the slanting rays of the setting sun.

A local military enthusiast forum in Chengdu.

Less than ten minutes after the bomber took off, the usually quiet Baidu Tieba forum suddenly saw a flurry of posts appearing.

[Holy crap—A massive bomb has descended, blotting out the sky!]

I was just passing by Riyue Avenue, right next to the Huangtianba test flight airport. The engine roared through the sky, and shortly after, this thing shot up right next to me, completely blotting out the sky. I thought it had gotten dark!

Two summers ago, the Huangtianba test flight airport began expansion, renovation, and reinforcement. During the winter break, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group suddenly mobilized its engineering troops to build workshops. I told you that a big machine was about to be launched, but you didn't believe me...

[Two years ago, during summer vacation, it's now December... Two and a half years, one strategic bomber... Are the planes still inhabited by humans at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group? Didn't they say the development cycle for these things was measured in decades?]

[This is insane! The forums exploded, and Weibo is almost overwhelmed too. This thing flying into the sky is outrageous! It seems like it could be seen not just in the entire Qingyang District, but across half of Chengdu!]

I was fortunate enough to see it nearby. Because of the setting sun, it wasn't very clear, but I could still make out the general shape. I estimated the wingspan to be 35 to 38 meters, with a twin-tail delta wing configuration, a blended wing-body design, and a wing surface of approximately 600 to 650 square meters. The wing sweep angle of 55° to 58° is standard for supersonic design. This aerodynamic configuration is definitely lower than the B-1B Lancer, which the US claims is semi-stealthy...

[The wingspan is 600 to 650 square meters. My house is only 102 square meters. It's like six of my houses flying in the sky!]

Brothers, for decades, wasn't Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (XAC) the one developing bombers? Now they've moved to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC). So what is XAC doing?

[Oh my god, don't make connections to things that haven't even been released yet... don't get my account banned because of this.]

[Guys, the first flight is mainly for safety assessment, so the flight envelope will be strictly limited, and the time is generally limited to 20 minutes to 1 hours. I'm driving to Huangtianba now, waiting for a return landing.]

I'm still fishing...

[What's the point of fishing? Watching bombers is much more relaxing than fishing. Air Force enthusiasts, come and see the latest air force equipment...]

……

"Dongdong, dinner's ready."

At 6:30, Xu Qingling, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen to help. Seeing Lin Dong sitting at the dining table with a laptop but also playing on his phone, she noticed the content on his phone and asked with a puzzled expression, "...The online comments...it's really an uproar?"

"Heaven cannot hide it from us."

Lin Dong shook his head and said with a smile, "These military enthusiasts can be quite impressive sometimes."

With a single glance, the wingspan and wing surface area can be estimated. Then, based on the wing angle, it can be determined that it is a supersonic design. Finally, based on the twin-tail delta wing layout, the approximate parameters of C can be determined...

This level of insight and analytical ability was something he, as a second-generation military industrialist, couldn't achieve even in his previous life.

If he had seen this scene of a giant bomb taking off in his previous life, he would have just shouted, "Awesome!"

talking.

Lin Dong casually placed his phone on the table, put away his laptop and returned it to his study, then washed his hands and returned to the dining table.

When he saw the twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, stir-fried cured pork with red oil vegetables, and a pot of Jianyang mutton soup that Zhang Xiali and Xu Qingling brought out, his eyes immediately fell on Xu Qingling.

"You even cooked?"

Because of the maiden flight of the bomber, Xu Ziming and Lin Weiliang were both unavailable, and Zhou Xiaoyan also had to go to the test flight site as a core staff member of the test flight department. Tonight, Xu Qingling came back directly with Lin Dong and had dinner at Lin Dong's place.

"Uh-huh."

Xu Qingling nodded and asked happily, "Guess which one I made?"

Lin Dong smiled, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of red cabbage and put it in his mouth along with the cured meat, tasted it a few times and praised, "Not bad, it's as good as my mother's ten years ago, but this red cabbage will taste even better after a few frosts."

"You were just starting elementary school ten years ago, do you still remember that?"

Zhang Xiali laughed and scolded, then ladled a bowl of mutton soup for Xu Qingling, knowing she didn't like fatty meat, and specially picked out two pieces of lean mutton to put in the bowl: "I think Qingling's cooking is better than mine..."

"I'm just starting out with Aunt Xia..."

Xu Qingling smiled and replied, then sat down and took a sip of the mutton soup. Suddenly, she looked at Lin Dong and asked, "How could you guess that I made that dish before you even tasted it?"

"Because Comrade Zhang Xiali never plating dishes..." Lin Dong smiled and explained the reason.

In his memory, no matter what dish she cooked, where she was, or how it tasted, Xu Qingling would always arrange the food on a plate as soon as she took it off the heat, trying to make the whole dish look nicer.

Zhang Xiali, on the other hand, finished cooking, swung the spatula, and plated it up...

"It's enough that I can serve you food, but I also have to arrange the dishes. Only Qingling spoils you..." Zhang Xiali said to Lin Dong in an annoyed tone, and then put a piece of meat on Xu Qingling's plate.

"..."

Seeing this scene of preferential treatment as always, Lin Dong shook his head and looked at Xu Qingling: "How about we go to Xingdong Company's technology-themed pavilion together for New Year's Eve?"

"Um?"

Xu Qingling looked up in surprise: "You have time?"

"Today was the maiden flight, so the focus has shifted."

Lin Dong nodded. He only worked for an hour a day and always had free time.

Xu Qingling was worried that during the critical period of the project, Wang Rui's encounter with spies would be compounded, so she was hesitant to let him go out with her.

Now that the bomber has made its maiden flight, attention has shifted. In the enemy's eyes, the bomber has nothing to do with Lin Weiliang, the "King of the Army," so he might as well take a trip during the New Year's holiday...

"Okay!" Xu Qingling nodded happily upon hearing this.

"Have your uncle arrange transportation and security..."

Zhang Xiali, who was listening to their conversation, remarked, "You should still be careful."

From Zhang Xiali and Lin Weiliang's perspective, they were quite grateful that Wang Rui had found a spy girlfriend.

Using this incident, they launched a biological program that completely shifted the enemy's intelligence focus.

Furthermore, with this incident, Lin Dong can now have a suitable and non-suspicious reason to increase security whenever he goes out to play or do anything else.

Unlike before, when Lin Dong went out, there was no security, and everyone was worried.

Increasing security forces, given that Lin Dongming's public identity is that of an ordinary middle school student, aside from his father being the chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, could easily arouse suspicion.

As for Lin Weiliang, he is a semi-hidden tycoon, and Lin Dong is the son of a semi-hidden tycoon.

Now, after a series of actions, China's public security environment is already the best in the world, and this status is not enough to arbitrarily increase security forces...

After all, many wealthy people in China casually go out for late-night snacks or ride bicycles in the park, and people at most watch them with little regard for safety.

"I know, I'll ask my uncle to arrange some things..."

As Lin Dong spoke, he turned to Xu Qingling and said, "Don't call that Huang Qingyao. She'll be annoyed if she comes over as a third wheel and tries to steal my girl again..."

"Pfft—"

Xu Qingling couldn't help but laugh. She knew Lin Dong was referring to how Huang Qingyao had been pulling her away from time to time lately, leaving Lin Dong behind to chat. She immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand. I'll tell her."

After dinner, Xu Qingling helped wash the dishes.

A moment later, a roar echoed through the sky.

Lin Dong glanced at the darkening sky outside the window from the living room and realized that the Red Phantom bomber's maiden flight had ended and it was beginning its return descent.

"43 minutes..."

Lin Dong waited patiently for a while, but did not hear the terrifying explosion. He turned to look at the clock on the wall and confirmed the time from the first flight of the bomber to its landing.

He didn't set this time.

Instead, the on-site flight test department, along with Wang Xingguo and other core personnel, monitored the flight data of the bomber in real time and determined the timing based on the first flight test project.

"Dongdong, I went for a walk with Aunt Xia."

Xu Qingling then took off her apron and came out, following behind Zhang Xiali. She waved to Lin Dong and said that since it was the maiden flight of the bomber today, she knew Lin Dong must have something else to do.

"it is good."

Lin Dong nodded, went to the study, took out his laptop, connected to the intranet, and logged into Wang Xingguo's email. More than an hour later, at eight o'clock in the evening, a notification popped up with an email.

The maiden flight data for the Red Ghost bomber has been sent over.

"How is it?"

At this moment, Wang Xingguo and Lin Weiliang also opened the door and came in.

Wang Xingguo closed the door and came in, immediately asking, "We were there on-site and the maiden flight seemed to go very smoothly. Takeoff, landing, and all the core tests, including simple maneuvers, were all completed without any problems..."

"Godfather, don't rush, let me check the flight flutter data first."

Lin Dong did not draw any conclusions too early. The maiden flight was the least difficult test flight, and it was normal that the test went smoothly.

If there are problems on the first flight, then the whole project will be in trouble. At least many designs and systems will need to be modified and redesigned, and it will take at least six months to a year.
