Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 80 had a very strong reaction.

Wang Xingguo carefully put away the brown paper bag, and without lingering, left Laboratory 78, visited several other laboratories, and finally returned to the heavily guarded Emei Project site, which was also the office of Teams 624 and 606.

"Jiao Gong!"

Wang Xingguo spotted Jiao You in a conference room, gave the old man a wink, and then walked into the chief engineer's office.

"The design of this turbine blade is not good enough."

Jiao You glanced up but ignored Wang Xingguo, pointing to a drawing on the screen and carefully discussing: "The gas adhesion loss at this angle is too high. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the combustion chamber will 'stick' to the blades."

This will increase the physical wear of turbine blades, reduce thrust efficiency and performance, and shorten engine life... Our current materials are already inadequate, so this issue must be taken seriously.

"But Mr. Jiao, if we don't make it at this angle, the turbine power will not meet the standard."

"This will reduce the front-end air intake and compression ratio, resulting in insufficient front-end air pressure, which in turn will cause combustion gas backflow, ultimately resulting in greater loss of thrust and efficiency, and the engine will also be at risk of surging and stalling."

No sooner had Jiao You finished speaking than a researcher from 624 raised his opinion, his tone filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Turbojet engines use the Breitle cycle with isobaric combustion.

The four processes of an engine—intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust—occur simultaneously, with the internal gases flowing continuously without any physical separation.

For the engine to operate normally, the pressure at the front end of the combustion chamber must be greater than the pressure at the rear end of the combustion chamber.

By creating a pressure wall through pressure difference, the combustion gases can only be injected into the tailpipe to do work, instead of flowing back into the front of the combustion chamber, causing the engine to surge and stop.

The pressure value at the front end is determined not only by the design of the compressor but also by the power of the turbine connected to the front end.

Turbines have high power and stable pressure walls, but excessive pressure can reduce efficiency.

If the turbine has low power and the pressure wall is unstable, the engine will start to jerk and stop.

Balancing turbine power and the pressure difference between the front and rear ends of the combustion chamber is one of the most critical requirements in jet engine design.

"The angle of the blades will remain the same, but the surface treatment of the blades will be modified."

Jiao You tapped the table with his fingers, the knuckles striking the surface with a dull sound: "Last time, Chief Engineer Wang proposed a new technology for micro-honing the blade surface, which can greatly reduce the adhesion of gas to the blade. Some technical details have been uploaded to the server."

"You guys should look into this, find a lab to measure the actual data, and then revise the blade design."

Micro-honing of the blade surface?

Or was it a new technology proposed by Chief Engineer Wang?

The researchers were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances, all revealing a hint of shock...

How come Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, a company that makes aircraft, is more advanced in engine development than them, always using new technologies?

Jiao You ignored the researchers' reactions, reminded them to keep things confidential, rubbed his stiff neck, and went to the chief engineer's office.

"Mr. Wang, didn't you leave work? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

Jiao You pushed open the door and went in, glancing at the drawn curtains and the activated anti-eavesdropping device on the windowsill. He casually closed the door and raised an eyebrow: "Any new developments?"

"I need your help to expedite the verification of some classified information."

Wang Xingguo picked up the teapot and poured Jiao You a cup of tea. Then he took out the brown paper bag he had brought, pulled out the blueprints inside, and handed them over.

"This is from a comrade on the covert front. Three days ago, he obtained a 2008 engine design blueprint and a 2009 engine test device blueprint from the Americans..."

The blueprints just came back. I looked at them; three combinations, super cool.

"I'm just a little unsure, so I wanted you to see the authenticity of these drawings and the technological advancements contained within this experimental device."

"A super high-energy trio? From the Americans?"

Jiao You was stunned for a moment, then, without even taking a sip of tea, he snatched the blueprint, adjusted his glasses, and began to study it intently.

He read some pages quickly and others slowly, constantly analyzing and verifying the data in his mind.

"this……"

Beads of sweat seeped out from between his sparse, graying hair.

Jiao You flipped to the last set of blueprints for the experimental apparatus, studied it carefully for two minutes, his fingers trembling slightly as he gripped the edge of the blueprints. He looked up, his voice trembling, and said:

"These are drawings from 08? They only announced the project in 07... How come the progress is so fast?"

"I only saw the blueprints tonight."

Wang Xingguo shook his head heavily: "So, this engine blueprint is genuine?"

As he spoke, Wang Xingguo looked at Jiao You's trembling expression and felt a pang of indescribable guilt.

But thinking of the numerous spy reports from the National Security Bureau over the past month, and recalling Lin Dong's extraordinary talent, he hardened his heart and steadyed his gaze.

"I don't see the problem."

Jiao You didn't notice the change in Wang Xingguo's eyes, but his throat was a little hoarse as he said, "But it is definitely a three-unit supercharged ramjet engine, and the overall design has been completed. We are currently working on overcoming the internal technical difficulties."

As for this scramjet test device, it is a device for verifying the creation of a shock wave surface and the changes in total pressure and intake/exhaust pressure inside the engine.

Judging from the shape and angle of the shock wave, this is a design that helps with fuel mixing and increases airflow stagnation, suggesting they intend to use aviation kerosene as fuel.

"Using aviation kerosene as fuel for scramjet engines... can this really work?" Wang Xingguo asked seriously.

"I have no idea."

"We've never made a supercharged engine before."

Jiao You shook his head, a hint of confusion and despair in his eyes: "We've been working on the high-thrust turbofan engine for six or seven years and still haven't cracked it. How come they're making such a fast progress on this supersonic engine..."

"Jiao, cheer up!"

"This is a protracted battle, and we cannot afford to lose our composure because of the enemy."

Wang Xingguo's expression turned serious, and he earnestly encouraged, "We've been catching up all these years. We've closed the gap that was much bigger decades ago, so this little gap isn't a big deal now."

If our generation fails, there's always the next generation...

When that day comes, we will definitely see it together, and witness it together.

"You're not cut out to be a political commissar. You don't have the same eloquence as that old guy, Engineer Yang."

Jiao You glanced at Wang Xingguo, took a deep breath, his eyes brightened again, and he picked up the kraft paper bag on the table and stuffed the blueprints of the supercombustion test device into it.

"Keep the engine blueprints safe. Institute 624 is focused on the Emei project and cannot afford to be distracted. I'm taking the blueprints for this supercombustion shock wave test with me."

"You don't have the equipment here to conduct an overburning test. We'll know in a week whether it's a paper tiger or a real tiger."

Done.

Jiao You didn't even drink the tea. He grabbed the brown paper bag, got up, and quickly left the office.

Watching Jiao You's departing figure, Wang Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were a little red as he smiled and said, "After a week, this old guy's fighting power is still fierce."

talking.

Wang Xingguo wiped his eyes, stood up, and looked out at the dark night sky, his eyes filled with an indescribable heaviness: "I wonder what the actual progress of the SR-72 is on the other side. I hope it can be a little slower..."

"Engineer Wang!"

At this moment, Chen Jianhua pushed open the door and walked in, handing over a confidential document with a serious expression: "The latest military exercise instructions from headquarters."

"Military exercise instructions?"

Wang Xingguo took the document and glanced at it: "The maximum number of swarms is limited to 800, the total number of 200,000 remains unchanged. Fully prepare for the exercise and fight with all your might..."

Besides the foreign observer group, companies like Poly Group, AVIC, and China Ordnance Industry Group will also be present. Will a formal announcement be made tomorrow?

After reading it, Wang Xingguo's heavy mood immediately eased, and a hint of pleasure flashed between his brows as he smiled and said, "It seems that today's training results have given headquarters a lot of confidence."

"By cutting the bee colony from 3,000 to 800, besides the military exercise's deterrent effect, they also want to make a fortune."

As a member of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (Chengfei 001), Wang Xingguo is certainly familiar with companies like Poly Group and China Ordnance Industry Group.

This is one of the few state-owned enterprises in China that owns a military trade company. Many of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's (CAC) export models of fighter jets are exported through them, making them a long-term and stable partner.

"Mr. Wang, when headquarters contacted us just now, they specifically asked about our R&D costs and asked us to provide a reasonable quote that everyone can accept."

Chen Jianhua emphasized the words "accept" and "reasonable," then said with a strange expression, "However, I heard a rumor that Yuan Li, the chief engineer of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, learned about this news and apparently reacted very strongly..."
