Chapter 116: Sneakily learning! These are all precious experiences from the top‑tier masters!

Regarding this shock burst engine thing, Li Mingyang still hasn't fully researched it.

But over the past half year, whenever he had time, he would almost always squeeze in some time to read the documents provided by the system.

After all, once he had the mental laboratory, this thing was like a bug: whenever Li Mingyang had sleep time, he could enter it.

Even conducting experiments could be done easily inside, let alone merely studying the data on the USB drive.

However, Li Mingyang can only do this much; deeper, more concrete research still lacks his time and energy.

But speaking of understanding this technology, if Li Mingyang now calls himself second, absolutely no one in the world would dare claim first.

After all, the technology rewarded by the system is all mature tech that leads the current world and can be directly applied.

It's completely different from the mainstream armchair theorizing of today's world; it's not even the same thing.

So after hearing his own teacher's words, Li Mingyang immediately knew exactly where their difficulty lay.

He instantly grasped the crux, but to thoroughly solve this problem, unless Li Mingyang fully applies the technology he already knows in his mind to reality.

Otherwise, with the current industrial foundation, these materials and design, trying to produce an aircraft truly equipped with a shock burst engine……

Not saying it's completely impossible, but the difficulty can be described as scaling heaven; at any rate, it certainly can't be finished within the next two years or so.

In the phone call, there was no reply for a long time, and Li Mingyang also couldn't quite grasp his teacher's meaning—could this be a task handed down from above?

Must this brand‑new generation fighter necessarily use a fully realized shock burst engine? If so, then I must forgive Li Mingyang for being unable to help.

Now his own research institute is already at the final stage; even if he had to study that 'vibration treasure' engine thing, Li Mingyang would stay in his base to research the system‑given technology.

By then I will have made the engine, and only then consider its specific application.

Even Li Mingyang, after more than half a year of study and reading, having digested these materials thoroughly, has already produced many new ideas.

Although this engine is merely a pure engine technology, it seems more suited for use on fighters.

But that doesn't mean the engine will remain unchanged in Li Mingyang's hands.

Already having this mature technology as a foundation and with so many materials available, if Li Mingyang could fully master this engine technology……

Li Mingyang's heartfelt aspiration for the voyage of stars and seas could truly take humanity's first step into space via this epoch‑crossing engine technology.

"Teacher, could it be that my suggestion like this won't work?"

Li Mingyang couldn't help but ask directly; if his suggestion like this wouldn't work,

then he could only wait until his base is finished, after he completes the shock burst engine, to see if he can design an engine meeting the state's requirements.

As for now directly letting Li Mingyang go work elsewhere, spending who knows how long, it would likely take one or two years, even two or three, to finish an engine meeting the state's requirements……

Anyway, Li Mingyang himself is unwilling; with that time he would have already mastered his own engine technology and even produced several similar products.

Upon hearing Li Mingyang's words, Wang Qiang on the other end of the phone seemed to finally come to his senses:

"Sure! Of course we can; our goal is merely to research sixth‑generation fighters, not to research the shock burst engine."

"If, without a shock burst engine, our fighters can still become true sixth‑generation aircraft."

"Then that would naturally count as mission accomplished; there's no need to stubbornly cling to a fully realized shock burst engine."

Saying this, Wang Qiang's tone inevitably carried a hint of resentment:

"It's not because of you, kid, that this happened; last time on the water‑molecule bomber project you directly produced a half‑shock‑burst engine."

"And from design to completion you did it so quickly, it seemed to give us the illusion that shock‑burst engine technology is nothing more than that."

"So this time, when designing the sixth‑generation fighter's engine, we subconsciously leaned on that aspect."

"And as you also know, at least given the current situation, we're a bunch of people with our hands tied."

By now, Wang Qiang's tone was resentment mixed with deep helplessness.

"However, the facts prove this research direction isn't wrong; trying to reach sixth‑generation level with today's ordinary engine technology is almost as hard as scaling heaven."

"And in your description, kid, if we use shock‑burst engine technology, we don't even need a full shock‑burst engine to reach sixth‑generation level."

"But unfortunately, looking at the facts, our research into this technology is still not deep enough!"

After hearing these words, Li Mingyang finally let go of his last worry.

Although now, at the final moment of the base's completion, there are also many small troubles that often need his handling.

But even if he weren't there, handing these matters to others would be fine.

Li Mingyang never looks down on any top‑tier researcher, even if they're now stuck in engine production!

But their fighter design concepts are what Li Mingyang needs to learn, even though he previously participated in a water‑molecule bomber project.

But bombers and fighters, from the very start of design, have directly different purposes; for this fighter, which is a higher‑maneuverability aircraft……

Li Mingyang feels it's very necessary to go and properly learn from those top experts—after all, this is all precious experience from the top‑tier masters!
