Chapter 124 Outrageous Model Airplanes

After slapping his head, he then displayed the three virtual screens containing external data that he hadn't looked at in a long time.

【Dexterity (Humi Level): ··· "Proficiency: 126589/100000"

Upgrade Requirements: 1. All necessary conditions for the upgrade have been met, and the developed product has been recognized by users. 45876/30000

2. Users have a strong desire to upgrade, but feel their current accuracy is too low.

Do you wish to upgrade? Yes/No

[Analysis Eye (Humometer Level): ...]

Upgrade prerequisite: Dexterity must reach the nanometer level; this skill will automatically upgrade!

Virtual Laboratory (micrometer level): ...

Upgrade Requirements: Both "Skillful Hands" and "Analytical Eye" must be upgraded simultaneously; the Virtual Lab will also adjust its accuracy to the same level.

Upon seeing the descriptions of the three skills, he was surprised to find that these three skills, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, had already met the requirements for upgrading.

But this doesn't make sense. It hasn't even been upgraded yet, so why is the time flow in the virtual lab different?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he could only put it aside.

Upgrading skills is more important. This issue can be addressed later; it's a good thing for him anyway.

He then focused all his attention on skill upgrades, the root skill of everything: dexterity.

Looking at the upgrade requirements written above, he was puzzled, as he couldn't find any upgrade requirements at all.

I don't even know how I met these conditions; I was just confused when it suddenly said that I met the upgrade requirements.

This system is so inadequate; it doesn't provide any warnings whatsoever. If it weren't for the discovery this time that the time flow rate in the virtual lab is different...

He doesn't know when he'll start paying attention to whether his skills can be upgraded!

I don't understand the upgrade thing, but it's a good thing anyway. I wonder if this time it will be upgraded to the micrometer or nanometer scale.

But he guessed that given the system's shady practices, it wouldn't be such a simple upgrade of just one unit.

Thinking about all this, he reached out his hand to the virtual screen in front of him that displayed the skills.

The hand slowly approached the upgrade prompt and clicked on it.

After clicking, he didn't feel any change in the virtual laboratory, and his senses didn't register anything either.

Looking at the three skills in front of me again, I noticed that the suffixes of all three skills had changed.

[Skillful hands (micrometer level): ...]

The Eye of Analysis (Micrometer Level): ...

Virtual Laboratory (Micrometer Level): ...

"Surprisingly, nothing much has happened. This doesn't seem like the system's style. Last time it gave me an obsolete Humi; this time it shouldn't be this simple!"

After briefly reviewing the three skills, I began to examine them more closely.

Sure enough, there were a few small words after "micrometer level," which you might not notice if you weren't paying attention!

Micrometer level, current precision 0.05 micrometers.

What's going on here? Micrometer-level with a decimal point?

What was the precision again? I asked myself, while silently converting it to smaller units.

0.05 micrometers = 50 nanometers.

Fifty nanometers? That's such high precision? That means he can already achieve a precision of 50 nanometers!

What does 50 nanometers mean? To put it another way, Intel's 486 CPU manufacturing process is 1 micrometer.

Even in the new century, the Pentium dual-core CPU was still manufactured using a 45-nanometer process.

Keep in mind that this was considered a mainstream chip in 2009, and its manufacturing precision was only 0.05 micrometers.

With a little effort and the right tools, it is entirely possible to hand-craft a 50-nanometer precision chip.

For him, he already possessed all the necessary blueprints for the Buddha-14, including the electronic systems and other components.

With a precision of fifty nanometers, he could easily mold the electronic system of the Buddha 14 by hand.

This is such a pleasant surprise! Now he even feels like he could change his name someday.

Let's call it Li, the European Emperor, the humanoid CNC machine tool, the humanoid lithography machine, the humanoid... Zhenhua.

He has not only improved the precision of mechanical equipment manufacturing, but now he can even produce high-precision items such as chips.

If the conditions are right, manually manufacturing a chip is not a difficult task.

With this level of precision, I suddenly feel incredibly awesome!

It seems he'll need to buy some wafers after he goes out. He's already decided that he'll build his new model entirely by hand, even down to the internal circuitry.

Originally, I entered the virtual lab to figure out the issue of time flow, but now that has become a secondary concern.

The first thing to consider is the impact of skill upgrades on him.

With improved precision, the products manufactured in the future will be more seamless, to the point that no gaps can be seen with the naked eye.

He speculated that the change in the flow of time might be related to the skill reaching the upgrade requirements.

The accuracy has been determined, and then we looked at the upgrade conditions.

His pupils then contracted, and he sighed.

"Sigh, that's typical of the system, they really know how to stir things up!"

[Upgrade conditions: You'll find out when the time comes!]

"Oh shit……"

Putting that aside, and after figuring everything out, he withdrew from the laboratory.

Lying in bed, the precision of fifty nanometers made him think a lot, especially about the effects of nanotechnology on the human body.

He couldn't help but imagine that if the precision could reach the picometer level in the future, he would be able to create nanorobots.

If we have nanorobots, then we will have a way to remove tumors and the like from the human body.

Moreover, it's not just for tumors; it can also be used to remove blood clots or repair ruptured blood vessels in the heart and brain using nanorobots carrying materials.

In any case, it is a particularly promising area of ​​discovery, and the possibility of a significant increase in human lifespan in the future could be closely related to nanorobots.

Thinking about this made me a little excited, but then I came to my senses.

"I'll dream about those things later. Even if I do, it's all for nothing without the right precision. I should think about how to improve my current model aircraft."

After finishing their morning exercises, the two of them took a shower and had breakfast. Li Yun went to the company, while he continued to plan his career at the hotel.

The first problem to solve is the engine, specifically the turbojet engine.

Air enters the compressor through the intake duct, and after being compressed by multiple stages of compressor impellers, it reaches the combustion chamber.

The mixture and fuel are ignited in the combustion chamber, and then expanded by the turbine, resulting in high-temperature and high-pressure gas being ejected from the tail nozzle to generate thrust.

No matter how advanced a turbojet engine or a turbofan engine is, their operating principles are the same.

The problem with engines has never been their design, but rather the materials used in them.

High-temperature and high-pressure resistant materials that can withstand multiple pressures such as high temperature, high pressure, and combustion and explosion.

Materials are the key to an engine. Kyushu has never lacked smart people, but in some areas, Kyushu has indeed been developing rather late.

This also led to a critical problem in Kyushu's fighting strength, which eating alone could not solve.

After letting his mind wander, he came to a lot of ideas. But once he brought his thoughts back, he decided to finally begin the engine development.

The chosen approach is to start with the materials.

Knowing what he should do, he then exercised his body and leaned back on the comfortable sofa, closing his eyes.

The virtual lab wasn't set up in a very large space; it was more like a small, medium-sized lab.

In the empty room, with a wave of his hand, the room was filled with various devices.

The equipment he manifested all came from the laboratories of Hujiang Science and Technology.

And the research equipment related to materials that he had come into contact with when he followed his teacher to various companies.

Research on high-temperature alloy materials has begun, and this research has made significant progress compared to previous methods.

That method wouldn't work for him because it uses computer simulation.

In a virtual laboratory, a computer can be simulated, and then the computer can be used to simulate materials research and development.

This is essentially a nested doll; the virtual laboratory, in his guess, is built upon his own mental constructs.

If he were to build another computer and perform massive calculations, he felt his brain would likely overheat and burn out.

Given these premises, he didn't even have the idea of ​​trying it.

Therefore, the research and development method could only be the old method. Fortunately, he had materials from the WP-5 turbojet and the Puhuifu 110 as references.

Having a reference provides direction, which means making improvements based on the original formula.

Instead of developing a material from scratch, the difficulty of research and development is reduced dramatically.

Returning to the topic of simulation, what he is doing in the virtual laboratory is essentially a computer simulation!

With the approach determined, the first step was to study the core materials of the WP-5 turbojet engine.

Everything should be done step by step; it's impossible to understand the materials of the Foshan 110 engine all at once.

After going around in circles, he returned to materials research and development, which prevented his original profession of materials science and engineering from being wasted.

Various rare metals materialized before him, each one a finished metal powder.

With the equipment and raw materials in hand, his research began.

Inside the high-pressure reactor, various metals are added according to the specified ratio, and then the reactor is started to operate.

Powdered metals gradually melt inside the reactor, and under high pressure, many different metals are tightly bonded together.

After a long time, the reactor finally stopped under his control.

The metal inside the controller flowed out, and after a series of operations, it finally produced a half-meter square metal block that emitted a silvery luster.

After obtaining the metal block, they immediately conducted various tests on this very appealing piece of metal.

Unfortunately, after testing, the metal he obtained this time did not meet the requirements of the original formula at all.

One failure may lead to countless more, but success will eventually come.

With this in mind, his journey to prepare high-temperature materials began.

It's just a lot of experimentation, and there might be some chance involved.

These coincidences may result in the production of metals that are more suitable than the required metals.

In his numerous experiments, the probability of chance occurrences increased significantly, and this chance became inevitable.

While he was studying the materials, the president and secretary of Shanghai University of Science and Technology had already been reprimanded by the higher education authorities over the phone.

After hanging up the video call, both of them felt a bit awkward. It was just a video call, but they never expected it to turn into such a passive situation.

"Secretary, what do you suggest we do? Should we fire Song Yigeng? Look, our superiors are already trying to talk to us."

"So Song Yigeng must already be on the leaders' radar. If we keep her around, things might get back to our school!"

The president of Shanghai University of Science and Technology looked at the party secretary opposite him and asked for his opinion, but the secretary did not speak.

But the way he tapped his hands on the table revealed his inner unease.

"It's open now, we have no choice but to open it. And what about Fang Fang? She introduced us to this teacher, how dare she spout such nonsense!"

The two leaders thus decided Song Yigeng's fate, and the secretary who resolved the matter...

Just as I was about to smile, I remembered the person who posted the video.

"Principal, have you contacted the person who posted the video? It has caused us such a huge negative impact; we need to get him to take it down immediately."

If that doesn't work, once you get in touch, give him some money as hush money!

After expressing their opinions, the two fell silent.

"Secretary, we haven't been able to contact the person who posted this video. We've made many calls, but they haven't answered!"

Furthermore, according to our investigation, this person was previously a student at our school. After the incident in the lab, our vice principal in charge of security took the blame for him.

The other party probably despises us, and even if we manage to contact them, we might not achieve our goals.

"Alright, go contact them first, and quickly issue an announcement to expel Song Yigeng. The right thing to do now is to appease these agitated students at the school."

After discussing their strategy, the two went about their respective tasks.

The school quickly issued a notice stating that Song Yigeng would be expelled and that they would sever all ties with him.

For the school, this matter may have simply passed, but for the vast majority of netizens, it's a different story.

Trying to smooth things over is never the first choice for online warriors. Seeing that the school's attitude of admitting its mistake was good, they shifted their attention to the main characters of the incident and the person who posted the video.

Gradually, thanks to the incredible doxxing skills of netizens, Li Zhenhua's personal experiences came to light.

At this moment, many netizens seem to have a new understanding of Hujiang University of Science and Technology.

No matter how innocent the previous announcements seemed, at this moment many netizens no longer believe the school is innocent.

The situation is still developing, not only regarding the video he posted, but also his own experiences and the comments of many public intellectuals.

Various comments flooded the internet, spreading like a war without gunfire.

Some observant netizens have gradually connected the people who started the incident, creating a vast network of connections across the internet.

After discovering this, these netizens did not make a fuss, but instead continued to follow the development of the incident.

In the virtual laboratory, another six months passed, and he finally mastered the key technology of materials.

He obtained an ultra-high temperature resistant alloy that is perfectly capable of handling the operation of turbojet engines.

The high temperature, high pressure, and high speed generated make it a raw material that is particularly suitable for manufacturing engines.

With the materials as a foundation, he then began the development of the engine.

The first problem to solve with jet engines is the combustion chamber, which is the most important component.

It's not that other parts aren't important; the combustion chamber is where the initial mixture of air and kerosene ignites and explodes.

As always, he chose to use a machine tool to mill the combustion chamber.

Under his hands, an engine combustion chamber with a diameter of sixty centimeters was milled out from a large piece of metal.

And they drilled out all the calculated holes in the combustion chamber at the same time.

He also made some innovations to the engine, choosing air bearings for the engine's main bearing.

He put a lot of effort into this air bearing, using his unique, externally optimized technology in many places.

With this air bearing, all the rotating parts inside the engine can rotate more smoothly.

After all the engine parts were manufactured, he assembled the engine with the help of the Eye of Analysis.

From the very beginning, we aimed for the highest level of precision, even adjusting the dynamic balance during assembly using our analytical eye.

He gradually built the turbojet engine in the virtual laboratory.

The engine was built. The entire engine is cylindrical, 250 cm long and 65 cm in diameter, making it a very slender engine.

Now that it's built, of course, the engine needs to be tested, but lacking a test stand...

Some data were simply impossible to measure; the only thing he could test was how much thrust the aircraft had.

The engine he built weighed a total of 300 kilograms. He didn't know it until he measured it, but when he found out the total weight, he was stunned.

With a total weight of 300 kilograms, it seems to have nothing to do with an aircraft model engine.

The final test showed a thrust of 3600 kg, which translates to a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12.

3,600 kilograms is 3.6 tons, meaning this engine can generate 3.6 tons of thrust.

The aircraft he designed was twin-engine, with a total thrust of 7.2 tons, which could be used as the power source for the monster he created.

It's worth noting that the afterburning thrust of the WP-5 turbojet engine is only 3.8 tons, which made him deeply suspicious of this engine.

What was his original intention? To build model airplanes, but with such a powerful engine, will the resulting aircraft still resemble model airplanes at all?

But we've already come this far, so we have no choice but to keep going. We can't just give up halfway!

As he manufactured it, all the relevant blueprints for this newly designed engine were also completed.

He also wrote a massive and complex process specification, and the moment he finished producing the process specification,

This proves that in reality, as long as he has the right equipment, he can assemble the engine according to the instruction manual.

He created an engine, and then with a wave of his hand, an identical engine appeared beside him.

With both engines in place, the next step is to consider the variable-sweep wing casing for the aircraft.

He had anticipated this; when manufacturing materials, he didn't simply extract the materials needed for the engine.

Instead, he sourced all the materials needed to build the airplane. It sounds incredible, but extraordinary lives don't need explanation.

Everything that seems illogical will eventually become logical with the help of cheat codes.

The structure of the variable casing was based on a scaled-down version of the internal structure of the Buddha 14, and then optimized based on the insights from the Eye of Analysis.

With the engine and variable-sweep wing technologies in place, there are no major challenges in developing other parts of the fuselage.

In the virtual laboratory, the trial production of model airplanes is in full swing.

Furthermore, he implemented weight reduction measures in certain parts of the aircraft; for example, the fuselage is entirely constructed from carbon fiber.

The most prominent characteristics of carbon fiber are its high strength and low density; low density means that this material is lightweight.

It also has high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, and good electromagnetic shielding performance.

The parts of the fuselage that don't need metal components are made of carbon fiber.

After he finished building the model airplane, he was impressed by the airplane he had built himself.

In terms of appearance, this aircraft is really cool, with independent tail rudders, twin vertical stabilizers above the engines, and circular exhaust nozzles that can change direction.

The robust landing gear, along with the unique air intakes on both sides of the nose,

Every part of the aircraft possesses unparalleled charm.

And this model airplane—well, let's just call it a model airplane for now—is now...

There is no pilot's seat at the nose of the aircraft; that is, the nose and cockpit of the model aircraft are currently just holes.

The space inside was used to house his avionics equipment; the absence of a pilot's cockpit meant that the interior space was now larger.

The larger the space, the greater the room for maneuver; there's also more room to install electronic control systems, allowing for complete freedom of action.

Looking at the model airplane in front of me, it was eight meters long and had a wingspan of eight and a half meters.

When transformed into a swept-wing configuration, the wingspan is 4.2 meters and the height is 2 meters.

The total weight was 5 tons. When he saw it, his heart was pounding.

"Damn it, what kind of monster have I created? This thing is practically indistinguishable from a fighter jet!"

Weighing 5 tons, just hearing that weight, you wouldn't think it's a model airplane.

If you attach missiles to it and improve its avionics, wouldn't it be an unmanned combat aircraft?

Holy crap, I've developed a fighter jet?! Was I out of my mind before?!

Feeling a mix of emotions, I stared blankly at the plane before me, thankfully this was in a virtual laboratory.

If this were outside, and he simply pulled out such a huge thing, the Kyushu Security Bureau would undoubtedly come knocking on his door.

Moreover, they would visit him wearing a silver bracelet, and might even invite him to the Security Bureau for tea or as a guest.

At this moment, he could only stare blankly at the fighter jet in front of him, wondering what to do!
