Chapter 27 New Supersonic Flight Machine

"Waaaaah!"

After waiting for almost half an hour, Li Tao finished using the restroom and completing the registration process. He exclaimed dejectedly, "I registered today, and classes start the day after tomorrow! Another winter break gone!"

"Don't worry, you still have about ten winter breaks before you graduate from university."

Xu Qingling added, standing next to Lin Dong and looking at Zhang Zihua and Li Tao: "Zhang Zihua, Li Tao, Lin Dong is coming to my house for lunch, you two come too, and invite Zhang Yihao as well. We can play games together after lunch."

"what?"

Li Tao was somewhat surprised and asked incredulously, "School's about to start, Xu Qingling, won't Uncle Xu and the others scold you for playing games?"

"No, my dad has always played games with me since I was little."

Xu Qingling asked curiously, "Will my parents scold me if I play games?"

"..."

Li Tao was suddenly struck dumb, and after a long silence, he could only sing a line from the adapted theme song of "Home with Kids": "Your childhood and my childhood seem so different!"

"How is it?"

Xu Qingling invited Zhang Zihua and the others again, saying, "Come to my house for dinner and games. My mom works the early shift in the morning, so she'll make us egg yolk pies and lots of snacks."

"Zihua, go."

At this moment, Lin Dong and Xu Qingling invited, "Uncle Xu and Aunt Zhou are very hospitable. I'll bring my computer over, and we can all team up to play games and relax."

"Then I'll go later and bring some things home." Zhang Zihua thought for a moment and finally agreed.

"No problem, I also have some things to do, I'll be there around 11 o'clock." Lin Dong nodded and told Xu Qingling the time.

"Okay, come over when you've got it sorted out. I'll text my mom now." Xu Qingling knew Lin Dong was going to the lab again, so she agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the school, Xu Qingling and the others returned to the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's residential area, while Lin Dong walked alone towards the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's base.

After crossing the auxiliary road outside the residential area and passing two visible sentry posts and one hidden one, Laboratory No. 78 came into view.

Compared to two years ago, the laboratory hasn't changed much, except that there's an extra sentry post and some 24-hour cameras around it.

After confirming the technical value of the Lin Dong Hot 001 model aircraft and experiencing Chen Weibiao's betrayal, Wang Xingguo also considered whether to set up a laboratory in the core area to better protect the confidentiality.

However, considering that Lin Dong was only a primary school student, entering the core area would be too conspicuous for him, so the idea was ultimately shelved.

They simply used Chen Weibiao's defection as an excuse to readjust the security of the entire base and add several more lines of defense to Laboratory 78.

"Eastern God!"

Just as I reached the laboratory entrance, a shout suddenly came from around the corner not far away.

Wang Rui ran over wearing a black down jacket, the zipper pulled all the way up to cover his neck, leaving only his buzz-cut head exposed to the early spring chill.

"Has Northwestern Polytechnical University not started school yet?" Lin Dong glanced at Wang Rui and asked curiously.

For more than two summers, Wang Rui and his two friends have conducted numerous studies and consulted with experts.

The final design resulted in a canard configuration and a low-temperature turbofan engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 5.8.

Thanks to the fuel economy of the small turbofan engine and the powerful maneuverability of the canard, the three of them made a killing in the model aircraft competition, flying all over the field and knocking down the model aircraft of a group of third- and fourth-year students.

From then on, the three of them opened up the path to doctoral studies, skipping directly to master's degree after completing their second year of undergraduate studies, and in another year or two they could go straight to doctoral studies.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. I just went for a walk and saw TVXQ, so I came over to say hello."

Although he is now a master's student at Northwestern Polytechnical University and can barely be called a professional, Wang Rui still maintains great respect for Lin Dong.

There was no way around it; the Hot 001 incident was under a confidentiality agreement, and he was put on a gag order. He knew all too well just how skilled Lin Dong was.

They still don't understand some of the technical details involved in Hot 001.

"I see..." Lin Dong nodded and said with a smile, "Want to come in and join us? I can help out."

"This..." Wang Rui's face showed a hint of interest.

But the next second, as if he had thought of something, he quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "Never mind, I have something to do when I get back to school tomorrow, I don't want to be left behind."

More than two years ago, the "Hot 001" team was put on a gag order for leaking classified information and was even taken to a security bureau for several days of security training.

Now, more than two years have passed, and no one knows what kind of high-tech aircraft Lin Dong will pull out next. If you accidentally take a second look, it's uncertain whether you can even return to school this semester, let alone tomorrow.

"Alright."

Seeing Wang Rui's expression as if he had encountered a monstrous flood, Lin Dong waved his hand and didn't insist, then went into the laboratory alone.

Di-

Lin Dong turned on the supercomputer in the lab, and the 32-inch monitor on the desktop and a 200-inch screen on the wall lit up at the same time. He then entered a 48-digit password.

A simulated aircraft with a canard configuration and a fighter jet-like posture, numbered Hot 002, has been revealed.

It has a main wingspan of 2.91 meters, a fuselage length of 4.92 meters, more than 5,000 parts, and a maximum takeoff weight of 2.05 tons.

This design is even lower than the Hot 001's three-meter wingspan, and with a longer fuselage, the fuselage and wingspan reach an astonishing ratio of 1.68.

This means the entire fuselage will have a smaller frontal area, revealing that this is an aircraft designed specifically for supersonic flight.

As for the internal avionics system, it is equipped with the latest small phased array radar, instead of the previous Doppler radar.

All other infrared sensors, communication modules, optical camera assemblies, etc., were replaced with the latest military-grade products.

In addition, an array of 12 chips was used to build a computing core with a computing power of 78 TFLOPS, which, together with the control system personally written by Lin Dong, constituted the brain of this aircraft.

It can be said that the cost of these hardware components alone exceeds four million.

"The battlefield ten years later has proven that the future belongs to drones. Now that I've been reborn, I'll be the one to usher in this era of drone dominance on the battlefield."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Lin Dong's eyes as he opened the blueprints for the aircraft's most crucial engine.

This is a drawing of a vector engine that uses a three-stage fan, a seven-stage high-pressure compressor, a single-stage high-pressure turbine, a two-stage low-pressure turbine, and a tailpipe nozzle whose size and direction can be controlled.

"The engine has a maximum diameter of 533mm, a length of 3845mm, a weight of 128.4kg, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 9.8, and a maximum static thrust of 24663N with a twin-engine configuration. It also adopts a variable overpressure design, and its maximum service ceiling exceeds 42000 meters..."

Lin Dong made a quick mental estimate.

Put a twin-engine aircraft with a static thrust of 24663 N into an aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of only 2.05 tons.

Even with a full fuel load right after takeoff, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the fuselage exceeds 1.2. Such a design can only be described as actionable.

That is violence.

"The design is fine, we can start production. We'll prepare two units this time..."

Lin Dong checked the design again to make sure there were no defects or omissions, and then encrypted all the drawings and sent them to Lin Weiliang through the internal secure line.

He was still young, and this hot drone, number 002, was still being produced in secrecy under Lin Weiliang's name.

As for the past two years, Lin Weiliang has been transferred to be in charge of the research and development of remote control communication technology, and has also been promoted to deputy chief engineer. How can he still have so much energy to design model aircraft and drones?

Yes, this must be why Chief Engineer Lin studies day and night, striving to become a master in a different field while not forgetting his original profession...
