Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 104: Quadruple-engine firing range, 5800 kilometers

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xingguo, seeing Lin Dong's questioning gaze, subconsciously gasped, his fingers trembling as he touched his hair, which had thinned considerably in the past few months.

Yup!

How to connect?

Although the Hot Spicy No. 6 had previously fought against the J-20, its variable ramjet engine attracted the attention of No. 606 and No. 624. At that time, in order to protect Lin Dong, his name was reported.

But family members know their own affairs.

If all he had to do was replicate the variable ramjet engine of the Hot Hot, he had spent the last few months working with 624 and the others on the engine project, reviewing his engine knowledge from back then, and combining it with his years of research experience.

With Lin Dong providing all the information and technical details, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But now Lin Dong has made it clear.

The diameter needs to be reduced, the design needs to be modified, and a four-unit simultaneous power supply solution needs to be adopted...

To know.

The engine is a holistic design.

Don't underestimate the effect of reducing the diameter slightly; this reduction in diameter requires adjustments to the parameters of at least 40% to 60% of the engine's components.

If you fully grasp and understand the techniques involved, you can make these adjustments with complete confidence.

It's as simple as a primary school student mastering multiplication, changing 5 multiplied by 6 to 3 multiplied by 8.

But for those who haven't fully grasped how multiplication works, this change is completely baffling, not to mention the possibility of a four-way multiplication scheme...

If you haven't fully grasped the technology, you won't even be able to explain it clearly.

"How about we push it..."

Wang Xingguo wanted to say "no," but he swallowed the words back before he could say them.

Although he wasn't involved in large-scale shipbuilding, he understood what it meant for a supersonic cruise missile with a range of 5800 kilometers, as Lin Dong had mentioned, to be deployed on a large ship.

Based on real-world data from modern missile interception systems, combined with model calculations.

亚音速飞弹成功率80％，1马赫超音速飞弹拦截率50％，3马赫的超音速飞弹拦截率就只有25％……

With a missile that cruises at Mach 4, attacks and penetrates defenses at Mach 7, and cruises at altitudes above 35000 meters, the interception rate would not exceed 10%.

Even with the most robust interception system, intercepting only one out of ten missiles, the success rate is still less than 65%. That means one out of every three missiles fired can penetrate the defenses...

Based on the conventional missile capacity of a large warship carrying 300 missiles, as soon as the warship goes to sea and disappears from satellite images, the whole world will immediately be on high alert.

If there are aircraft carrier battle groups that need escort, then bring more air defense and anti-submarine missiles for escort.

Without a carrier strike group and without the need for escorts, I'll just bring more anti-ship and cruise missiles and sail freely on my own...

This would significantly enhance strategic deterrence capabilities, especially the maritime deterrence capabilities that are most lacking domestically. How could he easily push it down?

If Lin Dong says no, then there's nothing we can do.

But now it can be resolved, and we have to find a way to resolve it no matter what.

"Go back and modify the engine first, then finalize the control scheme for the quad-engine..."

Wang Xingguo remained silent for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said to Lin Dong, "I'll handle this project coordination!"

Over the past few years, Wang Xingguo has come to know Lin Dong's abilities.

That is, for small engines that are not so complicated, there is almost no need to conduct actual experiments; data verification can be completed with just a brain.

Previously, the entire Hot Spicy was only tested twice in a wind tunnel, and the engine was never actually tested.

"Okay, the design revision will take about two months. I will send you the revised design drawings and the corresponding test equipment at that time."

Lin Dong nodded: "This isn't my Hot Spicy Ship, I just play around with it. This is going to be put on a ship, Godfather, you should arrange for two actual tests to make sure there are no problems."

"Two months?" Wang Xingguo's hand trembled, and he widened his eyes.

"yes."

Lin Dong explained, "Mainly because I have to go to school during the week and I need to work on perfecting my hot account, so it takes a little longer."

If you need it urgently, Godfather, I'll put aside other things and take a few days off, so three days will be fine.

Small engines aren't that complicated, and we still have prototype blueprints. Modifying the design and writing a control program for a quadruple-engine configuration is quite quick.

Today it is today.

As he acquires more and more knowledge, and his knowledge becomes broader and broader, his ability to utilize his spiritual vision becomes greater and greater, and his efficiency in various scientific research, improvement, and data verification also becomes higher and higher.

The initial subsonic turbofan engine for the Hot Hot was designed and tested during summer vacation when he didn't have classes, which took him almost half a month.

If it were today, he could redesign such an engine in less than two days.

"No, no, no, two months is fine, two months is fine."

Wang Xingguo's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Don't send them all at once in two months. Just send me a new progress report every three days."

Let me look into it first. I can't be sure if I can handle it yet...

He originally thought he had overestimated the speed of his research on Lin Dong, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated it.

Two months is already frightening, and this kid wants to throw it over in three days... When did strategic missile engines become so cheap?

"Godfather, come here..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately asked with some concern, "Godfather, can you handle this? How about I use an alias to make contact? Or like with the super-burning device, could we push it onto the Americans…?"

Wang Xingguo is now his biggest pillar of support.

Lin Dong was genuinely worried that the old guy might suddenly explode with rage.

"If there are bad guys hiding in the team, a single alias won't work. Someone has to be in charge of the actual communication and participation, and take on this technical responsibility."

"If it's just an alias and there's no actual person in charge to connect with them, then this sudden technical black hole will only attract more attention. Pushing it onto the Americans would be the same thing..."

Wang Xingguo shook his head: "The super-combustion experiment was because you were doing it yourself. No one else will know about it for two or three years. In addition, I approached Chief Engineer Jiao You privately, so I can push it to the Americans and don't have to worry about being exposed."

"Then... should I fabricate a fake identity?"

Lin Dong recalled his alias Zhang Tingsong and his fake age during this exercise.

He now understands that the biggest reason he can't reveal his age is his age.

Too small, too sensitive.

To outsiders, he was a monster.

If he were now a middle-aged player like Lin Weiliang, or an old player like Wang Xingguo.

Even if the Americans find out, at most they'll just say that this old man Deng is a late bloomer, and then arrange some targeted measures, but they won't go too far; they'll just strengthen security as usual.

Because age represents the upper limit. Even though people in their forties or fifties still have decades of prime time, their upper limit is already set.

Who doesn't have a bunch of white-haired chief engineers or white-haired research gurus in their family?

Unless it involves a super critical project, it's unlikely that they would go to such lengths as a decapitation strike.

But for eleven or twelve-year-old boys, it's different.

Seeing this age and these achievements, not only would Americans go crazy, but even Russia, which is now starting to band together, might have some ulterior motives...

"The use of fake identities and ages is only suitable for general technological achievements, not for strategic achievements."

"But the things you're working on now all have strategic value. Unless you go into hiding now, you'll have to find someone else to cover for you."

Wang Xingguo explained some knowledge about the secret front to Lin Dong, patiently saying, "Because identity and age can be faked, but you as a person cannot be faked."

A true strategic threat is one where the enemy won't believe superficial identity information; they will investigate thoroughly.

If the technological achievements Lin Dong produced weren't particularly crucial, a false identity and age would suffice to cover it up, since the cost of investigating them wouldn't be worthwhile for the enemy.

But the things Lin Dong came up with were all of strategic value.

Strategic value is equivalent to strategic threat.

In this situation, the enemy's operational budget is unlimited. They will investigate for decades to find out the details in order to ensure that their strategic security is not threatened.

If Lin Dong doesn't want to live in anonymity and cut off all contact with the outside world for the rest of his life, then someone has to step in to help him.

Otherwise, it would take at least one or two years, or at most three or four years, for the enemy to track down Lin Dong.

By then, we can roughly estimate Lin Dong's age and situation just by looking at his height, face, and photos.

"this……"

Lin Dong nodded silently: "Thank you, Godfather."

"Let's head back now."

Wang Xingguo waved his hand, then, as if remembering something, took out a secure USB drive and handed it to Lin Dong.

"I got the data from your new Hot Spicy design and the supersonic wind tunnel tests. Your dad wasn't at the base, so I got it for you. I changed the password to the same one as your lab's password."

"The wind tunnel is finished so quickly?"

Lin Dong exclaimed with some surprise. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he took the USB drive, picked up the paper and pen from Wang Xingguo's car, and quickly wrote down a series of book lists and thesis numbers.

There are books and papers on the military intranet, but most of them are materials that he encrypted and stored in Lab 78.

A few minutes later.

After Lin Dong finished writing, he picked up the paper and handed it to Wang Xingguo.

"Godfather, this is all the theoretical data related to the Hot Spicy variable ramjet engine. Take a look when you have time. I'll send you the first set of design drawings tonight."

"..."

Wang Xingguo's expression froze as he looked at the book list numbers that filled almost the entire page.

After a long silence, Wang Xingguo nodded silently: "The sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless. You are really good to your godfather."
