Chapter 110: Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to the dragon's roar!
At this moment, Li Mingyang's perpetually tense nerves finally relaxed, and in an instant a feeling of fatigue surged from all directions.
It completely enveloped him; just a second ago he felt full of energy, the next second he could barely keep his eyes open.
After forcing himself to finish his last words, Li Mingyang directly asked to leave.
Anyway, the engine prototype had already been produced; whether I stayed or not, the later tests would yield the same result, and my staying here couldn't help at all.
Since I'm tired, I should follow my heart and go get a good sleep, so…
"You stay here and keep testing; I've worked nonstop for so long, I feel that if I don't go sleep now I'll drop dead."
Having said that, Li Mingyang didn't give anyone a chance to respond, and strode straight back to his dorm.
……
This sleep was probably the best he'd ever had in his life; after all, he'd never before experienced being able to work around the clock for such a long time.
Before, it was that sense of anticipation and excitement that kept his body going; now, when everything had settled down…
Li Mingyang's surging fatigue made him sleep a full day and night; when he woke up, it was already the morning of the third day.
Seeing that a whole day had mysteriously vanished, Li Mingyang felt a bit bewildered, but he quickly figured out what had happened.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation; after so much time, the engine tests should be finished by now, right?
After all, this was the first truly national-level heavyweight equipment he had ever produced, and Li Mingyang was eager to see the final result of his engine.
Although Li Mingyang had full confidence in his work before sleeping, because he had already obtained the result in his mental lab.
But Li Mingyang couldn't suppress the urge to rush over immediately to see how his designed engine actually performed.
"Good news, our Chu Long One's data and performance are perfect in every aspect; it's currently undergoing final debugging and assembly."
"If you kid slept another day, you'd probably get to see the maiden flight of the first H-20 Bomber prototype!"
Seeing his little disciple rush into the lab in a hurry, Wang Qiang, who knew him well, hardly needed to ask to know what Li Mingyang had come for.
So without waiting for Li Mingyang to speak, Wang Qiang proactively gave an explanation right away.
Upon hearing that, Li Mingyang finally relaxed completely, sitting on the sofa with a big grin.
"Well, if I'd known earlier, I would've just slept an extra day in bed instead of having to wait another day like now."
"This feeling is like winning five million but not being able to claim the prize right away, having to wait a while before the draw."
By the end, even Li Mingyang couldn't help but sound a bit troubled; this feeling really is somewhat tormenting.
It's like a peerless beauty dancing a seductive striptease right before you, but you're separated by the world's toughest tempered glass.
You can only look but not touch…… it's practically the ultimate mental torture!
"You kid, instead of thinking about that, you'd better use this time to tidy up your appearance."
"Look at you now—you look like a mountain-top caveman; the official test flight can happen tomorrow morning at 8."
"For this test, the higher-ups attach great importance to it; tomorrow a big shot will come over, so you kid, tidy yourself up."
"We're not saying you need to leave a good impression, but at least don't leave a bad one."
"Of course, if you could leave a good impression, that would be perfect—it would really help your future research and prospects."
Saying this, Wang Qiang, worried his little disciple might be nervous, immediately added:
"But you don't need to worry too much; that person isn't some man-eating tiger."
"For us researchers, that person is quite easy to talk to and very respectful—let alone someone like you, a genius youngster."
"He's sure to be a future pillar of the state; when he sees you, he'll surely appreciate you."
"In short, you kid, go tidy up your appearance, put your mind at ease, and just wait calmly for tomorrow to arrive."
After hearing that, Li Mingyang nodded slightly, feeling a bit nervous; he wasn't an idiot, and he knew exactly who his teacher meant.
But Li Mingyang truly hadn't expected that he would actually get a chance to meet that person.
……
In the blink of an eye, when the time came to the next day, it was only just past six in the morning, the sky just beginning to lighten, and Li Mingyang couldn't help but get out of bed.
It wasn't nervousness; after his rebirth, Li Mingyang's innately big heart hardly felt any tension or similar emotions!
Li Mingyang's heart now filled more with anticipation, anticipating the moment when the work he single-handedly created—the crucial core—would soar into the blue sky.
He couldn't even wait for someone to notify him; he went straight to the test field on his own, looking at the huge aircraft painted yellow in the middle of the field!
A surge of hot blood boiled up in Li Mingyang's chest, making him feel his body hair stand on end.
This was an inexplicable, soul-deep sense of refreshment and fervor; ultimately all his complex emotions turned into a single thought in his mind:
Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to the dragon's roar!
