Chapter 117: then translation of title

This time Li Mingyang's experience was completely different from last time; last time he was able to participate in the Water Molecule Bomber project mainly out of respect for Teacher Wang Qiang's face.

But this time, Li Mingyang came because he was invited, serving as an external assistant; his position is certainly different from when he first joined the Water Molecule Bomber project.

As soon as he arrived, in order for Li Mingyang to quickly understand the problems they were facing, there was absolutely no need to apply for anything like that.

Under the guidance of a group of top experts, Li Mingyang thoroughly toured the entire design and manufacture of the sixth-generation aircraft.

Without exaggeration, relying on Li Mingyang's excellent memory, even just this one round of touring would allow him to replicate a sixth-generation aircraft one-to-one after leaving!

After all, these experts were extremely considerate, fearing that Li Mingyang might not grasp some details, which could lead to errors.

When presenting the design and production details in every aspect, the explanation was extremely detailed, for fear that Li Mingyang would not understand even the slightest bit.

During this process, Li Mingyang also quietly raised some questions, which at first glance seemed to stem from his rigorous work attitude.

Afraid that his own design might mismatch the sixth-generation aircraft even slightly, Li Mingyang actually silently learned experience during this process.

The experts' design ideas still have many aspects that Li Ming can learn from at this stage.

Although Li Mingyang's research in the engine field is already impressive, not to mention he also has detailed technology of a shock burst engine in hand.

But if Li Mingyang truly wants to research something of his own, he still lacks considerable strength in the aircraft field.

And a national-level project like this is undoubtedly Li Mingyang's best learning opportunity.

After all, although several major countries have been shouting about the sixth-generation aircraft for years internationally,

but aside from domestic efforts, there is hardly any sign of any country or faction producing even a hint of such a product.

Therefore, the place where Li Mingyang is now and the surrounding team, in the field of aircraft research, are absolutely top-notch not only domestically but even globally.

It is often said that the easiest way to reach the summit is to stand on the shoulders of giants, and these enthusiastic old men surrounding him are undoubtedly the giants of the previous era.

Li Mingyang wants to achieve his desired results more quickly, and standing on the shoulders of these kind, amiable old men is undoubtedly a good way.

……

"How is it? Do you have confidence? It doesn't matter if you can't solve the problem right away."

"After all, the sixth-generation aircraft project is a national undertaking, not yours alone, so there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

"Such a major project has always required everyone's joint effort; if one person bears too much mental burden, aside from causing themselves great stress, it brings no other benefit."

Li Mingyang's treatment has visibly improved; for example, this time his dormitory is no longer a small single room but more like a small suite.

It not only includes his own room but also a living room and similar facilities; although the area isn't large, it's about fifty square meters.

But at least compared to when he was researching the Water Molecule Bomber, the living conditions are much better.

Looking at the earnest Teacher Wang Qiang before him, Li Mingyang's heart warmed involuntarily, although he didn't know what image this teacher held in the minds of other students.

But at least in his own eyes, Teacher Wang Qiang before him is absolutely a qualified teacher to the utmost, even with a hint of favoritism.

One could say that Li Mingyang's smooth progress so far is absolutely inseparable from the help of Teacher Wang Qiang before him.

"Teacher, rest assured; I already made it clear on the phone earlier that our goal this time is only the semi-detonation engine."

"Just like the engine of the previous H-20 bomber, it does not belong to a true shock burst engine."

Naturally, the engineering difficulty in all aspects is much lower, though many details need adjustment to make the engine design more suitable for fighter jet requirements.

Although there are some difficulties, for me they are not too hard; Teacher, rest assured, if it doesn't work out I will definitely communicate promptly.

Moreover, this engine cannot be made by me alone; we need everyone to cooperate.

Anyway, I definitely won't put too much pressure on myself, just as I said before; if it can't be done in a short time, I'll simply extend the work hours.

Although this is a very urgent task, technological progress isn't something that can be forced by pressure.

Compared to his teacher's somewhat worried expression, Li Mingyang appears much more relaxed and at ease.

Even so relaxed that it gives rise to an illusion, making one wonder whether Li Mingyang hasn't even taken the engine manufacturing task to heart.

Although engine manufacturing hasn't even officially started yet, Li Mingyang's thoughts have already drifted to other matters.

If we talk about the world's most famous aircraft, representing the pinnacle of global technology, besides bombers and fighters, there is another kind that cannot be ignored.

That is the rocket!

Compared to the previous two, which mainly operate within the atmosphere, the rocket is truly humanity's first step into space exploration.

However, Li Mingyang is truly lacking in knowledge of this area!

Recalling his goal in mind, Li Mingyang feels that if he gets the chance, he can certainly make up for this knowledge.

After all, to achieve his goal, Li Mingyang must become an all-around player; and if he can find connections, he should first pick up some ready-made knowledge.

This would allow Li Mingyang to avoid starting from scratch step by step, saving him a lot of time.

It could also let Li Mingyang borrow many ideas and approaches, helping him take fewer detours on his journey to the stars and seas.

"Teacher, I don't know if you have any acquaintances in the rocket field; if convenient, I'd like to study this knowledge for a period."

"If I could personally participate in a major project, that would be perfect."

Hearing this, Teacher Wang Qiang first fell silent; he truly couldn't understand his own little disciple, even though the latter's achievements were nearly surpassing his own.

But Teacher Wang Qiang always felt that his little disciple's goals went far beyond this; even from the start, the disciple had a clear goal and has been striving toward it.

Before, Teacher Wang Qiang still couldn't figure out what his little disciple wanted to do.

But after hearing this request now, Teacher Wang Qiang suddenly came to his senses, unable to help a wry smile and also unable to refrain from sighing:

Indeed, the world now belongs to the young, and their ideas are all so wildly imaginative.

However... since this is his little disciple's ideal, Teacher Wang Qiang naturally has no reason not to support it.

"For now, focus on the engine work; I'll contact you about what you just mentioned, and if there's any news I'll inform you immediately."

……

In the blink of an eye, two and a half months passed; originally Li Mingyang thought he could finish it in at most one or two months.

But when he actually got hands-on, he discovered many things that didn't match his imagination, so he settled down to slowly learn and study.

After all, such an opportunity is rare; still, even so, by now it's time to verify the results!

Thanks to the joint efforts of all researchers, big and small, at the base, the Chilong No. 2 engine was finally officially rolled out this morning.

Like the previous Candle Dragon No. 1, this is also considered a semi-finished engine.

Although it possesses strong explosive power, compared to a true Shock Burst Engine, it still falls short a bit.
