Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 107 What a terrible thing to do!

The next morning, the May sunlight streamed into the living room through the window.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Dong took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Qingling.

[Lin Dong]: Qingling, is Uncle Xu home today?

[Xu Qingling]: Yes, I'm at home reading. I'm going fishing with my friend later.

[Lin Dong]: I'll go over there now.

After confirming that Xu Ziming was home, Lin Dong took the blueprints he had finished the night before and prepared to go over.

But just as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, went back and got two bottles of wine and two packets of tea, which he put in a gift bag.

"Hmm, that makes it easier to start."

"I brought him gifts and even gave him a big reward, so Uncle Xu can't possibly give me a hard time, can he?"

Lin Dong glanced at the packaged wine and tea, nodded, and left with his things.

Di-

Each building in the community is separated by department, and there are no direct connecting passages between them.

Lin Dong took the access key given to him by Zhou Xiaoyan, swiped it to open the door of the building next door, and then went into the elevator and pressed the button for Xu Qingling's floor.

Ding Dong!

The elevator had just arrived at the floor when Lin Dong stepped out.

Xu Qingling, already wearing a Holley Kitty pajama set, opened the door, poked her head out, and waved happily.

"Lin Dong!"

Xu Qingling took a pair of Lin Dong's personal slippers from the shoe cabinet, and looked at the document bag and gift bag in Lin Dong's hand, a hint of doubt showing in her eyes.

"Didn't you say you were busy when you got back? Why did you come today?"

"I need to talk to Uncle Xu about something."

Lin Dong changed into slippers, looked at Zhou Xiaoyan who came out after hearing the noise, and politely greeted her, "Aunt Zhou."

"As long as the person comes, there's no need to bring anything else."

Zhou Xiaoyan scolded when she saw the gift bag, then took the bag from her and pointed to the living room: "Your Uncle Xu is inside, just go in."

In the living room, Xu Ziming was studying some books and papers on materials science when he saw Lin Dong coming over with gifts. He frowned and was about to say something.

But the next second, when he saw the file bag in Lin Dong's hand, his heart skipped a beat.

Something is wrong!

When did this kid start bringing gifts when he came here?

Xu Ziming recalled that Lin Dong had brought two bottles of Shuijingfang cigarettes and two cartons of cigarettes to Wang Xingguo to become his godfather, and then Wang Xingguo started to take the blame for him. Xu Ziming suddenly had a bad feeling.

Uncle Xu.

Lin Dong sat down on the living room sofa, greeted them politely, opened the file bag, took out the design drawings inside, and handed them over with a sincere expression.

"I've developed an engineering solution for a jet engine intake precooling device, but there are some parts I don't understand. I'd like to ask Uncle Xu for some guidance."

Engine intake pre-cooling?

Is this guy trying to make a hypersonic engine?

As a core engineer at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Xu Ziming was naturally familiar with the pre-cooling device technology. He frowned and took the blueprints.

But the moment he saw the name on it, his expression froze...

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaoyan followed Lin Dong in and heard his sincere words. Then she saw Xu Ziming take the documents and remain silent. She couldn't help but say, "It's rare for Xiao Dong to come to you for advice, so please just answer it."

fart!

Is he asking me for advice?

He's trying to find someone to take the blame!

Xu Ziming gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and carefully reviewed the entire plan drawing.

Upon seeing the process parameters and the flow formulas and data marked on the screen, he couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Dong.

"When was it made?"

"I came back last night," Lin Dong answered honestly.

"Don't you usually help Chief Engineer Wang with some things?" Xu Ziming asked, as if he were guessing a riddle.

He was referring to the fact that 606 and 624 came together to tackle the WS-15 high-thrust engine.

Although Zhou Xiaoyan's rank was raised because of Lin Dong, she was still aware of it.

However, since it was not closely related to Zhou Xiaoyan's work in the General Affairs Department, Xu Ziming would abide by the confidentiality regulations and not disclose it.

After all, it's not that the more you know about these things, the more powerful you become; rather, the more dangerous it is.

"They can solve most problems if they just take some time out of their busy schedules..."

Lin Dong understood what Xu Ziming meant.

As he spoke, he glanced at the pile of materials science books and papers in front of Xu Ziming and wisely concealed the fact that he was actually helping to work on the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloy.

"I'll go wash some fruit for you."

When Zhou Xiaoyan saw Xu Ziming start playing riddles with Lin Dong, she immediately realized that what they were talking about was not something they should hear. She pulled Xu Qingling into the kitchen, leaving the two of them alone.

"this……"

Xu Ziming put down the blueprints for the precooling device in his hand, tapped them on them with some resistance, and said seriously to Lin Dong, "There are no plans for hypersonic aircraft in China at the moment."

This precooling device is compatible with all jet engines using the Brayton cycle and can improve the limits of all engines.

However, the only vehicles that truly benefit from this installation and are necessary to install it are hypersonic aircraft engines.

For medium or low supersonic speeds, the increased failure rate from installing this device outweighs any benefits it provides.

"Uncle Xu, the new Hot Aircraft I'm designing is a hypersonic aircraft. The country will eventually have plans for this..."

Lin Dong explained his purpose in doing this.

Simply put, this is both a hobby and a crucial contribution to the country's future planning and development in the field of hypersonic technology.

"..."

Xu Ziming's face twitched when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but seeing that Lin Dong still looked like a young man, he swallowed his words and put the blueprints back together.

"I'll ask Chief Engineer Wang about his plans; I've been quite busy lately."

Upon seeing those process requirements, those extremely complex flow calculation formulas, and the intake cooling model, Xu Ziming understood the weight of this project and genuinely didn't want to take it on.

But he couldn't very well refuse.

The only option was to bring in Wang Xingguo, hoping that he could take the fall for him given his current involvement in the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloy project.

As for whether Lin Dong's precooling device engineering plan is mature enough, and whether the current technology level can make it work.

Seeing that Lin Dong had already written his name down, and Lin Dong's comment that the matter of 606 and 624 could be dealt with in his spare time, he knew there was no need to ask.

He was quite aware that humans cannot be compared to monsters.

In his eyes.

If Lin Dong had been born in medieval Europe, he would have been put on a cross to experience human fire right after birth, and he would have lit the first fire.

I'm going out for a bit.

Xu Ziming changed his clothes, told Zhou Xiaoyan and Xu Qingling, and then left with the file folder.

"Oh, Dad, the mango is almost cut..."

Xu Qingling, wearing an apron, peeked out from the kitchen, but Xu Ziming had already closed the door.

His decisive and efficient actions made her blink slightly, then she turned to look at Lin Dong in the living room.

"What's Dad doing in such a hurry? Didn't he say he was going fishing later?"

"There's something I don't understand. I'll go ask my godfather."

Lin Dong gave a simple answer, then got up and went to the balcony to wash his hands. He then naturally walked to the kitchen: "Is there any fruit that needs peeling? I'll help too..."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As a core engineer at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Xu Ziming naturally understood that Wang Xingguo stayed in the core area of ​​the base on weekends. After his identity was verified by several security checkpoints, he was able to enter without any hindrance.

Ding-dong-

Press the doorbell outside.

After waiting for a while, a response came from inside.

"Come in, the door's unlocked!"

"Engineer Wang..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziming opened the door, but he was stunned by what he saw inside.

What comes into view is a pile of draft paper scattered on the floor like snowflakes, books lying haphazardly open on the dining table and sofa, and calculations filled with various formulas and data pinned to the blackboard wall.

Wang Xingguo held a pen in one hand and a printed document in the other, quickly calculating something on a blank draft paper.

With this much going on, I won't have time even on the weekend...

What big project is Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) undertaking now?

Xu Ziming's expression changed slightly, and he quickly went inside and closed the door to block the view from outside.

"Don't make that face."

Wang Xingguo noticed Xu Ziming's expression and explained simply, "It's not from here. It's a cruise missile shipboard project jointly undertaken by AVIC and the 701 Institute."

"That has nothing to do with you, Engineer Wang..."

Xu Ziming asked instinctively, but before he could finish, he saw an engine blueprint that looked nine-tenths familiar and stopped talking.

This is... Lin Dong's variable ramjet engine blueprint?

"Xiao Dong's Hot Spicy missile engine has been selected and, after verification, it is very suitable for this missile project."

Wang Xingguo let out a breath, looking tired but somewhat excited, and said: "A 500-kilogram warhead can be used to carry tactical nuclear bombs. At an altitude of over 35,000 meters and a supersonic cruise range of 5800 kilometers, we can easily strike Guam. If we use a H-6 bomber for air-launched attacks, we can even hit Hawaii."

If the enemy's defenses are too strong, it can also conduct low-altitude tactical cruises to evade radar detection. With a range of 5200 kilometers, the entire Asian continent is within its range.

Although studying and digesting these drawings was a difficult process, Wang Xingguo was excited and full of anticipation.

The more he researched and learned, the more he understood that this was a strategic weapon of mass destruction.

As one of the generation of swordsmiths, he persevered for decades. What he feared was not the hard work, but the inability to forge a good sword, and the lack of successors for the nation, leaving no hope for the future.

But now, Lin Dong has directly fulfilled his two simplest wishes.

"Is this kid...Superman? He's just pulling out one technology after another!"

Xu Ziming's eyes widened as he picked up the file folder he had brought: "These are the drawings he just gave me..."

"A pre-cooling device for the air intake of a jet engine? Xiao Dong actually solved this engineering challenge?"

Wang Xingguo took the document, opened it, and glanced at it: "Since Xiao Dong gave it to you, then expedite it. We shouldn't disturb his interest and growth."

One of this kid's ideas might be worth half a lifetime's worth of our work.

The air intake pre-cooling device is the foundation of our next generation of hypersonic technology. Now that we have mastered the hypersonic shock wave wind tunnel, this technology will be mastered and perfected sooner or later.

With this, you're practically guaranteed a place as an academician in the Chinese Academy of Engineering... Wait, you came to me because you don't want to do it, right?

"Boss, take a look at these process requirements, this flow formula, the intake cooling model..."

Xu Ziming couldn't help but say, "I'm having trouble handling this, I can't keep up, and I'm currently working on third-generation single-crystal materials."

"I'm also starting to feel the strain, but I still have to keep going."

Wang Xingguo pointed to his messy room and looked at Xu Ziming encouragingly, "Think about Engineer Lin Weiliang. He has already handled so many projects, and you're already like this on your first project."

"That's not the same. Engineer Lin is your biological father, and you're just my godfather." Xu Ziming still refused to accept it.

"You're practically a father to me too."

Wang Xingguo glared at him and said bluntly, "As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son to his father-in-law. I know about the betrothal between Xiaodong and Qingling, and the two of them get along very well."

Previously, other technical projects weren't related to your expertise, so there was nothing we could do. But now this air intake precooling device is exactly your expertise; if you don't step up, who will?

"fart!"

Xu Ziming suddenly became agitated, his face flushing red as he said, "I never agreed to this marriage!"

"real?"

Wang Xingguo immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up straight: "Since you say so, then as your leader, I'll lend you a hand and apply for you tomorrow, Monday."

Should we transfer your family, or Mr. Lin's family, to other units to sever this connection?

"I……"

Xu Ziming gritted his teeth and hesitated for a few moments, but ultimately didn't respond. He grabbed the file bag, turned around, and left.

"Close the door for me."

Wang Xingguo called out to Xu Ziming's retreating figure, and as he watched the other disappear from sight, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"This lazy person still needs to be pushed. Hmm, it's much more effective for the children to push them than for me, their leader, to do it."

After sighing, I realized I was still here on the weekend, looking at the table full of books and documents.

Wang Xingguo couldn't help but grab a handful of his already frizzy hair, letting out a long sigh: "What a disaster!"
