Chapter 567: Tackling the Details

Two days later, in the early morning, the deep‑autumn sunlight dispelled the thin mist, and through the Research Workshop's glass windows it fell onto the silver‑gray Stealth Bomber, whose matte skin glowed with a soft yet firm sheen, as if narrating the joy of yesterday's Full System Integration success and bearing everyone's anticipation for the test flight.

Lin Zhengcheng was still the first to arrive at the workshop, still carrying the breakfast Zhang Xiaoran had delivered, but today the insulated bag also contained a small box of pickled vegetables she had made herself, said to be eaten with mantou for extra refreshment.

He didn't dive into work as usual, but instead walked slowly around the airframe, his fingertips brushing the skin's joint again, and scenes from the Full System Integration two days ago flashed in his mind—Lin Qinhua's focused stare on the coating data, Chen Mo's steady rapid circuit inspection, Xiao Zhang's meticulous tightening of connectors, as well as Lin Shengli's reminder and Zheng Juan's silent guardianship; each image was warm and powerful.

The joy of the integration's success had not yet faded, and he knew in his heart that the real test was only just beginning; those overlooked tiny details were the key to the test flight's success or failure.

Before long, Chen Mo, Lin Qinhua, Xiao Zhang and others arrived one after another; the fatigue on each face had lightened considerably, the red veins in their eyes had lessened, yet the vigor in their gazes remained full.

Unlike the tense bustle of the day before, today everyone's pace was a bit more composed, yet also more meticulous—according to yesterday's agreement, today's core task was to investigate the tiny detail issues uncovered during the integration, optimize system parameters, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent test‑flight preparations.

"Everyone, gather in the conference room first; we'll sort out the detail issues discovered in yesterday's integration and clarify today's assignments."

Lin Zhengcheng placed the breakfast on a temporary table, his tone steady, "Yesterday's Full System Integration went smoothly overall, but there are three details that still need focused optimization: First, the navigation system's signal stability under complex conditions; although we promptly fixed the loose wiring yesterday, the interface still needs further reinforcement and the anti‑interference algorithm refined; second, the Stealth Coating's reflectivity fluctuation under high‑temperature extreme conditions—Lin Qinhua's compensation parameters adjusted yesterday performed well, but must be retested repeatedly to ensure absolute reliability; third, the coordination between the avionics system and the weapons mounting system, which requires further reduction of command response latency to guarantee precise weapon‑mounting commands during the test flight."

The group quickly gathered in the conference room, and Lin Zhengcheng projected the organized list of detail issues onto the screen, each item annotated with a specific problem description, investigation direction, and responsible person.

"Chen Mo, you will lead a team responsible for the avionics‑weapons mounting system's coordinated optimization, focusing on testing command transmission delay and ensuring the delay stays within 0.002 seconds; Lin Qinhua, you will continue handling the Stealth Coating's extreme testing, simulating higher‑temperature conditions, refining compensation parameters, and also checking the coating for any minute damage; Xiao Zhang, you and the technicians will handle the navigation system's interface reinforcement and anti‑interference optimization, simulating several complex signal environments to ensure signal stability; I will oversee the overall coordination, synchronize each segment's progress, and address any emergent issues at any time."

"Understood!" the others replied in unison, their tone firm, without any hint of slack.

Yesterday's integration success made everyone even more convinced that as long as they work together, no difficulty is insurmountable. Especially Xiao Zhang, whose wound on his hand still throbed faintly, yet he still volunteered eagerly, his eyes full of unyielding tenacity:

"Brother Lin, don't worry; leave the navigation system's optimization to me. I guarantee repeated testing and will leave no hidden risk."

Lin Zhengcheng looked at Xiao Zhang, nodded appreciatively:

"You've worked hard; balance work and rest. If the wound on your hand hurts badly, take a break first, don't force it."

"It's fine, Brother Lin. This small injury is nothing; compared to getting the bomber to test‑fly smoothly, this hardship is negligible."

Xiao Zhang smiled, waved his hand, grabbed his tools and hurried toward the navigation module, diving straight into work.

The workshop soon returned to its usual bustle, the hum of instruments, the crisp clicks of fingertips on keyboards, and the faint clatter of tools intertwining into a march of determined progress.

Lin Qinhua reconnected the coating inspection device to each monitoring point on the airframe, systematically checking for minute coating damage while activating the high‑temperature simulation system, gradually raising the temperature to 520 °C and monitoring reflectivity data in real time; his fingertips worked swiftly on the keyboard, continuously refining the compensation parameters, and every set of data was recorded meticulously and accurately, leaving no room for carelessness.
