Chapter 571: Lin Shengli: Good, truly worthy of being my son, Lin Shengli!

Lin Qinhua raised her head, took the ginger tea, drank a sip; the warm heat slid down her throat into her stomach, and her fatigue eased considerably.

She smiled and said to Zheng Juan:

"Thank you, Auntie, I'm not tired; I'll hold on a bit longer, fix this up, then I'll rest. Although this coating is only a slight change in gloss, if not handled well, it could affect the stealth effect during the test flight; we can't be careless."

Zheng Juan looked at her, shook her head helplessly, yet felt relieved in her heart:

"You child, you're just too meticulous, exactly like your father when he was young, you pursue perfection in everything you do. But it's precisely this meticulousness that lets you get things done well. Take your time, don't rush, I'll stay here with you."

After saying that, Zheng Juan sat on the small stool beside her, quietly accompanying Lin Qinhua, from time to time handing her a tissue to wipe the sweat from her face.

Lin Qinhua lowered her head and continued to apply the coating carefully, her movements still gentle and focused.

As she applied it, she silently recited the coating's ratio parameters in her mind, ensuring the thickness was even and it blended perfectly with the surrounding coating, leaving no trace.

Before she knew it, ten or so minutes passed; the coating with the slight gloss change was finally repaired. She stood up, moved her numb legs a bit, then carefully checked it again, confirmed there was no problem, only then did she relax and let out a relieved smile.

"Great, it's finally fixed." Lin Qinhua stretched, her tone carrying a bit of fatigue but more a sense of accomplishment.

Zheng Juan laughed as she stood up, helping to tidy her messy hair:

"All good, just rest a bit, drink some ginger tea to replenish your energy. There's still plenty of work this afternoon." Lin Qinhua nodded, took the ginger tea, gulped it down, and her smile became especially bright.

Lin Shengli didn't stay in the workshop all morning; he went around the workshop, confirmed everyone was working in an orderly manner, then returned to the office to organize the relevant materials for the test flight preparations.

He sat at his desk, thick documents spread before him, a pen in hand, occasionally marking something on the papers, his brows slightly furrowed, expression solemn.

He knew in his heart that detail optimization was only part of the test flight preparations; next, there were many things to do—draw up a detailed test flight plan, train the test flight personnel, inspect the test flight site's equipment, prepare emergency response plans; each task was crucial, allowing no margin for error.

He picked up a checklist for inspecting the test flight site, examined it carefully, checked each item one by one, fearing to miss any detail.

"Dad, why are you alone in here? Why not go check the workshop?" Lin Zhengcheng walked into the office, seeing Lin Shengli's focused expression, asked softly, still holding a summary report on detail optimization. Lin Shengli lifted his head, put down his pen, and rubbed his throbbing temples.

"With you all in the workshop, I'm at ease. I'm here organizing the test flight preparation materials; there's still a lot to do, so I need to prepare in advance, can't cram at the last minute."

Lin Zhengcheng nodded and placed the summary report on the desk:

"Dad, this is the summary report of detail optimization from all teams this morning; all parameters meet the requirements, no major issues were found, only a few extremely minor details, which we'll continue to optimize this afternoon."

Lin Shengli picked up the report, examined it carefully, nodding as he read: "Excellent, you've done a thorough job; details decide success or failure—only after we resolve these minor issues can the test flight proceed smoothly."

"I know," Lin Zhengcheng nodded, sitting in the chair opposite Lin Shengli, "this afternoon we'll continue to comprehensively test the navigation, avionics, coating, and other systems, ensuring all parameters remain stable at their optimal state. Besides, I plan to organize a meeting tomorrow for everyone to sort out the subsequent work arrangements, clarify each person's responsibilities, and ensure the test flight preparations proceed in an orderly manner."

Lin Shengli nodded approvingly:

"That's a good idea; early planning and preparation prevent omissions. Test flight preparations must be meticulous, considering every step and drafting response plans for any possible contingency, with no room for luck. Whether our great Xia nation's first stealth bomber can soar the blue skies depends on you young people."

"Dad, rest assured, we will give it our all, we won't let you down, we won't let the country down."

Lin Zhengcheng's tone was firm, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

These days, he and the team have been burning the midnight oil, overcoming difficulties together; he has already integrated his personal aspirations into the nation's defense cause, defending home and country, letting the stealth bomber soar the blue sky, which has become their shared belief.

Lin Shengli looked at his son, a relieved smile appearing on his face:

"Good, well done, truly worthy of being my son, Lin Shengli. You also need to look after your health, don't overwork yourself—your body is the capital of revolution; only with sufficient energy can you work better. Also, Xiao Ran, that girl, has been very thoughtful toward you; you should also care more for her, not always focus on work and neglect her."

Lin Zhengcheng's cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded.

"I know, Dad; once this busy period is over, I'll keep her company properly. This period, I've also owed a lot to her—she's silently supported me, brought me breakfast, stayed up late with me, and helped share the pressure." Mentioning Zhang Xiaoran, Lin Zhengcheng's eyes filled with tenderness, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up—having Zhang Xiaoran's company, no matter how hard or tiring, he finds it worthwhile.

Father and son chatted a while longer about work, then Lin Zhengcheng got up and returned to the workshop.

At that moment, the workshop's testing work proceeded in an orderly manner; Xiao Zhang had already completed the navigation system test in a high-altitude complex signal environment, all parameters meeting standards;

Chen Mo's team also finished the final comprehensive test of the avionics and weapons loading systems, with smooth command transmission and stable delay; Lin Qinhua was conducting a final overall inspection of the aircraft's coating, ensuring no minute damage or gloss variation.

"Brother Cheng, the high-altitude test of the navigation system is complete; all parameters meet the requirements, the signal is very stable, with no abnormalities."

Xiao Zhang saw Lin Zhengcheng return and immediately went up to him, smiling, his voice full of accomplishment.

Chen Mo and Lin Qinhua also came over, reporting their respective work progress.

"Great, everyone did well." Lin Zhengcheng looked at the few people before him, a relieved smile on his face, "This morning's detail optimization work, everyone was conscientious, with no omissions. This afternoon, our task is to conduct a comprehensive review test of all systems, re-check the details optimized this morning, ensure there are no problems, then collate all the test data to prepare for tomorrow's work meeting."
