Chapter 55: Everything Should Align with the J-20!

After returning to his dorm, Li Mingyang continued to think about the design of his first model aircraft in his life.

As for specific details, Li Mingyang hadn't given much thought, such as the technology to be used.

The most important thing for a person is to see his own strength clearly; Li Mingyang's sudden idea mainly came from wanting to try his hand.

Being able to produce a not-too-bad model aircraft with my current level already counts as exceeding expectations.

Wanting to shock the whole nation at first try like in some novels is simply too far-fetched.

I don't have that much technical theory accumulated in my mind; this time I mainly want to train my hands-on ability.

By the way, integrate those theoretical knowledge in my mind into practice.

Li Mingyang had a feeling that, for his current major, doing as much hands-on work as possible while enriching theoretical knowledge would greatly help his study progress.

So Li Mingyang now thinks more about the appearance of the model aircraft; as his first in life, even a simple model carries considerable commemorative significance.

Therefore, regarding appearance, Li Mingyang does not intend to settle; he must make one with a sufficiently cool shape.

Of course, it must also conform to aerodynamics; otherwise, even if the aircraft can barely fly, its flight attitude won't be very stable.

Fortunately, there are already many ready-made templates for this, so Li Mingyang doesn't need to start from scratch and design slowly himself.

How to put it? If he doesn't directly use existing ones and designs from scratch, Li Mingyang clearly lacks the ability.

Of course, some basic designs are certainly possible, but designing an excellent appearance is beyond Li Mingyang's current capability.

This requires not only substantial theoretical knowledge support, but also substantial practical accumulation!

At Li Mingyang's current level, even if he barely designs a work, it would merely be a laughingstock.

After having the idea, the subsequent work becomes simple: just open the phone and see which existing aircraft in the world better matches his aesthetic.

Soon, the domestically produced J-20, which had just entered service less than two years ago, came into Li Mingyang's sight.

Although it has been less than ten years, the J-20 that now shocks the whole world will soon become the "goddess" in netizens' mouths.

But at this time, the J-20 is still undoubtedly the number one "cutie"!

Moreover, even after over ten years, the J-20's design remains at the forefront of the times, with no risk of becoming outdated.

Perhaps this is what is called a classic!

"Since the shape has been decided, the next step is...... to study!"

Making a model aircraft himself is merely a sudden whim in Li Mingyang's mind; for the current Li Mingyang, his reserves are still insufficient.

Therefore, the first thing to do next is not to go straight to the lab and start working, which would produce a weird oddity.

It is to first prepare a solid foundation and enrich his theoretical knowledge in all aspects.

The most important thing is that since Li Mingyang chose the J-20 as his first model aircraft, he does not want to just go through the motions.

For his first work in life, he must strive for perfection.

Although he knows it is a laborious and thankless task, Li Mingyang still hopes to align everything as closely as possible with the J-20's standard.

Naturally, the first thing to tackle is the engine aspect; Li Mingyang truly lacks knowledge and technology in this area.

Saying that Li Mingyang's existing knowledge and technology are insufficient to support him in producing an engine close to modern standards.

Don't be fooled by the J-20 being the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter; its engine employs an old technology.

Called turbofan engine technology, this was proposed as early as the 1930s of the last century and, after so many years of development, remains active in the aviation field.

However, with the progress of the times, the technology has undergone generation after generation of updates.

And Li Mingyang's undergraduate courses, even if they involve the so-called engine technology, are merely the most superficial stuff.

To put it simply, the technology Li Mingyang currently masters is not much different from when the turbofan engine was first born.

Therefore, Li Ming's next main task is nothing else but two words...... study!

……

"Junior apprentice brother, what do you need these things for? This shouldn't be a course you can access now, right?"

"Although studying under the teacher indeed entails a lot of pressure, but don't push yourself too hard."

In the blink of an eye, two weeks have passed; Li Mingyang continued to neglect sleep and food while researching various engine technologies in his undergraduate courses.

Not to mention that other stones can attract jade; although the engine technology in the undergraduate courses is not limited to just turbofan engines.

But as long as it is engine technology, Li Mingyang has studied each kind thoroughly, making his knowledge reserves sufficiently rich.

Perhaps at some moment, when he encounters a problem, a flash of inspiration could not only solve his difficulty but also likely yield some minor breakthroughs.

Li Mingyang still understands the principle that a towering building rises from level ground.

However, the undergraduate courses are after all simple; not to mention that Li Mingyang himself already has some foundation, if he is merely researching engine technology now.

Just two weeks' time has already covered most of the technology learning contained in the undergraduate courses.

And in the further courses, the links sent by the senior sister do not include them.

Although feeling a bit embarrassed, Li Mingyang still proactively asked the senior sister for some learning materials that only graduate and doctoral students can access.

However, as things stand now, it seems the senior sister misunderstood something, thinking she couldn't bear the pressure and thus started frantic studying?

Or perhaps she has begun to exploit and pressure herself?

Seeing the other's worried expression, Li Mingyang can only casually explain a couple of sentences; even if he explains further, the other likely would still doubt.

So he can only casually brush it off with two sentences; as for whether the other believes it, Li Mingyang doesn't really care.

As long as it doesn't affect Li Mingyang's own plans and actions, it's fine.
