Chapter 575: Each Performing Their Duty
Lin Zhengcheng looked at the busy Chen Mo, Lin Qinhua, Xiao Zhang and the others, smiling and called out:
"Everyone, pause for a moment, come have breakfast. After breakfast, keep working!"
Everyone stopped work, gathered around, picked up their breakfast and began eating heartily.
In the workshop, the aroma of food and everyone's cheerful chatter instantly filled the air, easing the tension and fatigue of recent days.
"Sister Xiaoran, your meat buns are delicious—better than those sold outside."
Xiao Zhang mumbled while eating, his face full of satisfaction.
Zhang Xiaoran smiled and said, "If it's good, eat more. I made extra, just in case you need more."
Chen Mo handed Lin Qinhua a meat bun, his tone gentle:
"Qinhua, eat more. You have to monitor the coating this morning—don't go hungry."
Lin Qinhua's cheeks flushed slightly as she took the bun, whispered "thanks," lowered her head to eat, her eyes full of shyness.
Everyone sat together, eating breakfast while chatting about the morning's work arrangements, the atmosphere relaxed and warm.
Zheng Juan sat to the side, watching everyone eat with relish, a relieved smile on her face, occasionally handing out napkins and reminding them to eat slowly, not to rush.
After breakfast, everyone took a ten‑minute break, then returned to their posts and dove back into the tense, orderly work.
Xiao Zhang and Chen Mo continued testing the coordination of the avionics and navigation systems, repeatedly sending commands, checking transmission channels, to ensure smooth cooperation;
Lin Qinhua, holding the detector, focused on monitoring the coating around the engine bay, watching the reflectivity data in real time, daring not to be the slightest bit careless;
Lin Zhengcheng, meanwhile, shuttled between the stations, checking each person's work, verifying test data, ready to handle any sudden issues;
The other technicians, following their division of labor, carried out their work in an orderly manner, and the workshop once again bustled as usual.
At noon, Zheng Juan and Zhang Xiaoran again delivered hot meals on time—still the home‑cooked flavors everyone loved: braised pork ribs, stir‑fried greens, tomato‑egg soup, and a pot full of millet porridge, simple yet warm.
Everyone sat together, eating while discussing the morning's work progress, their faces earnest.
"Lin Ge, the morning avionics‑navigation coordination test went smoothly—command transmission was fluid, no lag, and positioning was precise." Xiao Zhang reported while eating.
Chen Mo also nodded:
"Yeah, the coordination performance is excellent—better than expected. We'll run a few more tests later to ensure stability."
"My side is fine too," Lin Qinhua said. "The coating around the engine bay has been steady all morning—no fluctuation in reflectivity, and no damage even in high heat."
Lin Zhengcheng nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his face:
"Excellent, everyone did great. The morning work went smoothly; this afternoon we'll keep pushing, following the plan to finish the system coordination tests and routine checks, striving to complete all flight‑prep work as soon as possible and welcome the test flight day."
Everyone answered in unison, "Good!" Their voices firm, full of determination and anticipation.
The afternoon sun grew warmer, streaming through the glass windows onto the workshop and onto each person, making the sweat on their faces sparkle.
The hum of instruments, the clack of fingertips on keyboards, the clatter of tools, and the occasional chatter intertwined, becoming the workshop's most pleasing sound.
Lin Zhengcheng stood before the control console, his eyes fixed on the screen's parameters, then glanced at his comrades working side by side, and at Zhang Xiaoran and Zheng Juan standing guard nearby, his heart filled with strength.
He knew the flight‑prep work still had a long road ahead, many tough challenges to overcome, but he felt no fear.
Because he knew this group shared the same dream, held to the same original intention, aimed at the same goal, stepping forward together, striving hard. They polished every detail with youth and sweat, guarded the nation's hope with perseverance and responsibility.
As the sun set, its golden afterglow streamed through the windows onto the stealth bomber, gilding it with a warm edge.
The workshop's work proceeded orderly, without the slightest slack. That stealth bomber, bearing the sweat and hopes of countless people, stood still, as if gathering strength, waiting for the moment to soar into the blue sky, waiting for the moment to defend the land.
Lin Zhengcheng and his team will continue to hold to their original aspiration, pursue excellence, with unremitting effort complete every flight‑prep task, and with concrete actions write a glorious chapter in Daxia Guo's national defense research, so that the stealth bomber may soon soar in the blue sky, guarding this beloved land.
