Chapter 573: Reviewing to Gather Strength, Awaiting Flight

At dawn, the door of the Research Workshop was gently pushed open; Lin Zhengcheng was still the first to arrive, only today he had no breakfast brought by Zhang Xiaoran—last night he had worked until late, Zhang Xiaoran felt sorry for him and let him sleep an extra half hour this morning, and she would bring breakfast later.

The workshop still retained last night's residual warmth; the equipment remained on standby, the screens still showing the final set of data from last night's review test. The silver-gray Stealth Bomber stood silently in the center of the workshop, appearing especially steady in the morning light.

Lin Zhengcheng did not immediately activate the equipment, but first walked around the fuselage, checking each system's interface and coating one by one; the tail coating repaired yesterday afternoon had perfectly blended with the surrounding skin, leaving no trace; the navigation system's interface was firmly reinforced, showing no signs of looseness;

The weapon mount interface was also wiped clean, seamless.

He lightly brushed his fingertips over the skin, feeling especially reassured; these days of hard work had not been in vain—every detail was steadily advancing toward the goal of 'foolproof'.

He walked to the control console, sat down, opened the computer, and called up last night's review test data, going through and checking it point by point. Yesterday afternoon's review test showed all systems performing stably with no abnormalities; the navigation system's positioning accuracy, the avionics system's command delay, and the stealth coating's reflectivity were all stable at optimal levels.

But Lin Zhengcheng let down his guard not at all; he knew that the smoother the flight preparations, the more caution was required—even seemingly perfect data had to be repeatedly checked to ensure nothing was omitted.

Not long after, Chen Mo and Lin Qinhua arrived, each holding their own work notes, their faces still showing some lingering fatigue—evidently they hadn't rested well last night either.

"Brother Cheng, you're here so early?" Chen Mo walked up to Lin Zhengcheng, put down his notebook, his tone tinged with fatigue yet still earnest: "I've reorganized last night's avionics test data once again, found no issues; the command delay has remained steady at about 0.0017 seconds, even better than expected."

Lin Qinhua also placed her notes on the table and said with a smile:

"Me too; I rechecked all the fuselage coating monitoring data from last night three times—under normal temperature, high temperature, or complex environments, the reflectivity remained steady with no fluctuations; the tail coating that was repaired also underwent repeated testing and does not affect stealth performance at all."

Lin Zhengcheng lifted his head, looked at the two, and a relieved smile appeared on his face:

"You've worked hard; take a break, drink some water, and wait until Xiao Zhang and the others arrive—then we'll hold the review meeting to sort out the past two days' detail optimizations and clarify the upcoming flight preparation tasks." Saying this, he poured a cup of hot water for each and handed it over.

Chen Mo and Lin Qinhua took the cups, took a sip, sat in the nearby chairs, and rested a bit.

Chen Mo rubbed his throbbing temples and spoke softly:

"These past two days have been tiring, but seeing all parameters meet standards has put my mind more at ease. Just thinking about the upcoming test flight makes me a little nervous, after all this is Daxia Guo's first Stealth Bomber—there's no room for error."

"I'm a bit nervous too," Lin Qinhua nodded, her tone carrying a hint of apprehension and anticipation, "but I'm more confident—with so many of us pulling all-nighters to tackle the challenges, we've polished every detail; as long as we follow the set plan, the test flight will surely succeed smoothly."

Lin Zhengcheng nodded, speaking with deep feeling:

"I understand how you feel; I'm nervous too, but confidence outweighs it. We're not fighting alone—we have the team's united effort, Uncle Lin's guidance, and the quiet support of Xiaoran and the aunties; as long as we maintain this rigor and earnestness, no obstacle is insurmountable."

Just then, Xiao Zhang and the other technicians arrived one after another, each holding test reports and work notes, their faces showing fatigue but their spirits high.

Xiao Zhang's wound on his hand had healed considerably, no longer as painful as before; he walked over to Lin Zhengcheng and said with a smile:

"Brother Cheng, I've organized all the navigation system test data; whether at low altitude, high altitude, or in complex signal environments, the positioning remains stable, with error never exceeding 0.3 meters, fully meeting the test flight requirements."

"Good," Lin Zhengcheng nodded, "everyone has prepared their work notes and test reports; let's now start the review meeting, going through the past two days' work point by point—any problems or suggestions can be raised, we'll discuss them together and nip all potential issues in the bud."

Everyone gathered around and sat down; the review meeting officially began.

Lin Zhengcheng first gave a brief summary of the past two days' detail optimizations, then had each person report their work progress, problems encountered, and subsequent plans in turn.

Xiao Zhang spoke first, holding his work notes and speaking clearly:

"Over the past two days, I mainly handled fine-tuning of the navigation system—reinforcing the interface and optimizing the anti-interference algorithm. After repeated tests, the navigation system operates stably under all conditions, positioning is accurate, with no signal loss or excessive error. Going forward, I plan to conduct a full test of the navigation system daily to ensure parameters stay stable, and I also want to coordinate with Chen Mo and the others to test the coordination between the navigation and avionics systems, ensuring smooth command transmission."

Lin Zhengcheng nodded, signaling him to continue, then turned his gaze to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo set down his cup, picked up his notes, and spoke slowly:

"My side mainly focuses on optimizing the coordination between the avionics and weapon mount systems; over these two days of testing and adjustment, the command response delay has stayed within 0.0017 seconds, and the transmission of weapon mount and release commands is also smooth, with no stuttering. Going forward, I will continue to refine the command transmission algorithm to further reduce delay, while also coordinating with Xiao Zhang to test the coordination between avionics and navigation systems, and with Qinhua to ensure that avionics signals do not affect the coating's stability."

Next, Lin Qinhua also reported her work:

"Over the past two days, I've mainly been responsible for testing and repairing the stealth coating; I inspected the coating on all parts of the fuselage and fixed the slight gloss change on the tail. After repeated testing, the coating's reflectivity remains stable across all temperatures and environments, with no abnormal fluctuations. Going forward, I will conduct a full inspection of the coating daily, focusing especially on the area around the engine bay, as high temperatures make it prone to issues—I will monitor it closely. At the same time, I will cooperate with Brother Chen to test the effect of avionics signals on the coating, ensuring stealth performance is not affected."
