Genius is just the threshold for me!

Crack—

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the door lock turned and Xu Ziming and Zhou Xiaoyan returned home from get off work.

I had just entered the door and hadn't even changed my shoes yet.

Hearing the television in the living room and seeing Lin Dong's shoes, Xu Ziming frowned and looked at Zhou Xiaoyan, asking, "When did this kid get here?"

"Around nine in the morning, you went to work around that time..."

Zhou Xiaoyan said with a smile, "Brother Lin and Xia Li went back to their parents' home, and Xiao Dong is coming to stay for a few days."

"Still want to stay?"

Xu Ziming's face darkened immediately upon hearing this: "Does he really think this place is his home?"

"Isn't it the young master?"

Zhou Xiaoyan chuckled, "Xia Li said that Qingling can stay there for a few days next time..."

"She's dreaming."

Xu Ziming snorted, changed his shoes, and walked into the living room.

At a glance, you can see the laptop on the coffee table and two guys huddled together on the sofa watching TV.

"dad!"

When Xu Qingling saw Xu Ziming return, she exclaimed happily. Before Xu Ziming could respond with a smile, she picked up a plate of snacks and said, "Put some melon seeds in my bowl..."

"..."

Xu Ziming's smile froze halfway through.

But seeing her daughter's happy and expectant eyes, she still went over, took a plate, filled the snack cabinet with some melon seeds, and placed it in front of Lin Dong.

Their family doesn't particularly like sunflower seeds; these sunflower seed snacks are almost all prepared for Lin Dong.

"Uncle Xu..."

Lin Dong noticed Xu Ziming putting down his sunflower seeds and giving him a somewhat unfriendly look. He looked up from the TV and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He understands the importance of balancing work and rest.

The Ghost Ship's live-fire exercise ended two weeks ago, and considering that everyone has been busy for two and a half years.

He hasn't been assigned any particularly heavy work for the past two weeks, planning to postpone anything until after the New Year...

"...I chatted with your godfather for a bit today during the test flight of the new J-20 fighter jet."

:

Xu Ziming glanced at Lin Dong a few times, but ultimately didn't cause any trouble. He pulled up a stool next to him, sat down, and said...

"Headquarters knows that the J-20 fighter jet has been successfully equipped with the WS-15 turbofan engine, and it seems that they are analyzing and speculating whether the wingman system of the Ghost aircraft can be transplanted to the J-20 series of fighter jets."

The wingman system has been transplanted to the J-20 fighter jet... a two-seat version of the J-20 fighter jet?

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately thought of the J-20 fighter jet, which was scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2022.

In the past, the first domestic application of the loyal wingman system for manned/unmanned cooperative combat was on the J-20 two-seat fighter jet.

This was also an early experiment for the sixth-generation fighter system in his previous life. He drew inspiration from this when designing the loyal wingman platform for the Ghost.

"With the current level of industrial technology, the difficulty of developing this is still quite high."

Lin Dong frowned slightly.

Lin Dong had heard Lin Weiliang mention the J-20 fighter jet's loyal wingman system in his previous life, and he had even looked it up at the time.

The earliest use of this combat system in the past was by Boeing Australia's M-28 Phantom Bat experimental aircraft, followed by the US-made -58A Valkyrie experimental aircraft, and then by China's J-20 fighter jet...

Of course, the J-20 fighter jet also boasts the most powerful design and performance in this regard.

Because the possibility of operating drones was considered during the research and development process, the entire rear cockpit display and control system, as well as the mission computer itself, are designed for commanding drones, which can better unleash the power of the wingman system.

But regardless of the country, the Loyal Wingman program originated in 2021.

Even with the advanced industrial upgrades in this lifetime, transplanting the loyal wingman to the J-20 fighter jet in 2016 would be extremely difficult at this stage.

Because the loyal wingman system is not something that can be solved by a single decision-making algorithm.

It also requires massive hardware computing power, high-speed data link modules, and higher power loads, all of which, with current industrial capabilities, undoubtedly exceed the carrying capacity of a fighter jet.

The Ghost could do this because it was a large bomber.

The huge interior space, the MA's load-bearing capacity, and enough platforms to fit inside.

"I don't know much about the overall design. You can discuss it with your godfather after headquarters makes its decision."

Xu Ziming shook his head. Everyone has their own expertise, and human strength has its limits.

From the beginning of his career, he has focused on engineering manufacturing and assembly, as well as completing single-technology research and development according to the requirements of the indicators. Except for being tricked by Wang Xingguo and Lin Dong a few years ago, he also gained the title of Academician of Materials Science.

His understanding of overall design and development, and the balancing of global solutions, is at most at the undergraduate or master's level.

"Why is that anti-ship special operations drone being deployed in such a hurry..."

After recounting the story of the loyal wingman, Xu Ziming, as if remembering something, asked Lin Dong with a grave expression, "Is it about the south?"

"Uh-huh."

:

Lin Dong nodded: "The headquarters' analysis suggests that a conflict may be unavoidable this year."

"Inevitable..."

Xu Ziming was silent for two seconds, then sighed and said, "We really can't avoid a fight. All this equipment was prepared for this day."

Even if you develop your skills and abilities without actually fighting a single battle, others will only think you got there by chance.

As an expert in the military industry, Xu Ziming has a deep understanding of the history of military industry and military affairs.

Looking back several decades, every major period of development since the founding of the People's Republic of China has inevitably involved conflicts involving guns and fire.

To put it bluntly, people are inherently masochistic; they only recognize force and not reason.

No matter how well you develop or how much reasoning you give, people will look down on you if you don't demonstrate sufficient physical strength.

"Ziming, come help me cut the meat." Before Lin Dong could answer, Zhou Xiaoyan called out from the kitchen after Xu Ziming finished speaking.

"it is good."

This novel was first published on [website name].

Xu Ziming responded and got up to go to the kitchen.

"Dongdong, will a conflict really happen?" After Xu Ziming left, Xu Qingling asked with a slightly pale face and a worried expression.

"Highly likely."

Lin Dong squeezed Xu Qingling's hand and smiled reassuringly, "But even if it happens, it will be a local conflict. They won't dare to spread it to the mainland. We are safe in Chengdu."

"Mmm." Xu Qingling nodded.

"Let's watch TV."

Lin Dong smiled, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Although everyone knows in their hearts that the other side will at most wage a conventional war to force the country to stop industrial upgrading, so that it can become their financial reservoir for the next few decades, allowing them to continuously reap benefits, rather than actually waging a full-scale war.

But everyone also understands that any large-scale war begins with the first sword and the first shot.

It's fine as long as this thing doesn't fire. But if it does fire, then it's very difficult to follow the plan and stop whenever you want.

At that time, overwhelming public opinion, soldiers eager for glory, and various interest groups involved will all drive the movement forward.

So either don't fight back, just endure it, suffer it, and suppress it.

If you're going to retaliate, then be prepared for a full-scale war, instead of waiting until you've fought for a while before realizing the situation is bad and then crying out for a stop...

Ding-dong-

:

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling watched a variety show for a while when an internal email popped up on the laptop on the coffee table.

Ok?

Lin Dong glanced at it and saw that it was an email in his own inbox. He immediately picked up his laptop and opened the email.

"Xiao Dong, the Long March 5 project has encountered some control problems and they've come to me for help in solving them. However, I've taken a look at it and it's also a bit tricky; I don't have a clue in the short term. Could you help me see if you have any good solutions?"

Long March 5? Long March 5?

Has this design not been finalized yet?

Lin Dong was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, the maiden flight of the Long March 5 was in November of this year, and it was almost February now...

"Hmm, it seems there's still time. For a large rocket like the Long March 5, the production cycle is now 4 to 6 months. We just need to finalize it before May."

Lin Dong considered the current industrial capabilities. Without upgrades, production testing would take six months, two of which would be for testing.

But now, with industrial upgrading, the production process has been shortened by one to two months, directly improving efficiency.

"The control challenge..."

Lin Dong thought about opening the attachment; he also had some understanding of the design and control challenges of large rockets.

With a height of fifty or sixty meters and a diameter of five meters, ensuring precise manufacturing processes, and the core engine that propels this behemoth weighing hundreds of tons... let's not even go into the core challenges that test the hard power of industry.

Due to the enormous weight and thrust requirements, the connection point of each booster has an area of ​​less than 0.1 square meters, but it must withstand the core stage's own weight of nearly 200 tons and a huge bias force of more than 300 tons.

The requirements for materials and the overall mechanical design are nothing short of extreme.

Furthermore, once the rocket launches, it burns several tons or even tens of tons of fuel every second. The rocket's center of gravity and weight will fluctuate drastically due to this enormous fuel consumption.

In addition to controlling the flight of the massive rocket, the control system also has to constantly adapt to the drastic fluctuations in the center of gravity and weight. This control model and scheme is also extremely complex.

"...The algorithm and model are not perfectly compatible? Hmm, that makes sense. Many extreme conditions of large rockets cannot be simulated on the ground."

Lin Dong scanned the control test data that had been sent and quickly found the problem. Then he opened the raw historical data about rockets that Su Ruohua had sent.

Through years of study and seeking advice, several elders know that his greatest expertise lies in system optimization and algorithms.

At the same time, knowing that to ask him about algorithm and system model issues, one must prepare sufficient raw data...

Lin Dong quickly moved the mouse to look at the previous data, then opened the search bar and began searching for the key data.

After searching through hundreds of key data points, Lin Dong took out a pen and paper and calculated carefully for a few minutes. Just as he was about to reply to the email after seeing the final result, he suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Xu Qingling.

"Would you like to watch a rocket launch in the second half of the year?"

"what?"

:

Xu Qingling had just noticed Lin Dong was busy and turned the TV volume down when she suddenly heard Lin Dong's question. She turned around with a hopeful look on her face and asked, "Can we watch it too?"

"Of course," Lin Dong said with a smile.

As long as he remains unexposed, he can still enjoy considerable freedom within the country. All he needs to do is use the excuse that Wang Rui has found a spy girlfriend and provide some security to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

"Okay, then you make the arrangements..." Xu Qingling nodded happily.

"Alright then."

Lin Dong smiled, opened the email which listed four documents and two papers, briefly describing the algorithmic framework of the new control scheme...

[Godmother, please check... As payment, please give me a few viewing spots. I've never seen a space rocket launch before.]

Because it was Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's internal network, Lin Dong didn't use salutations in their emails like Su Ruohua had done in the Northwest.

Although ten years later, the launch of the Long March 5 rocket can now be viewed live by purchasing official viewing packages.

However, the first launch of the Long March 5 rocket was not open to the public. Only staff from the aerospace industry, family members and friends of the research and testing personnel, and some media were allowed to watch up close.

Other people who want to watch have to go to public areas that are further away, such as Longlou Town in Wenchang, Qishui Bay Beach, and Stone Park, where they have to watch together in crowded public spaces.

[Received... The Wenchang launch viewing center is quite large, and more audience seats will be opened in the future. The first launch did not open the audience seats, so there are more seats available. I will probably have 8 to 12 seats for my relatives and friends.]

If you want to go see it, invite Qingling and the other kids in the neighborhood to come and see it. Tell them to all study aerospace engineering in college.

[Eight to twelve spots for relatives and friends, the godmother is really something, she's got executive-level treatment! But it seems a bit inappropriate for you to poach your godfather's girlfriend like this...]

Lin Dong replied to the email with a smile.

Influenced by their parents, many of them will follow the same path in the military industry, and many will enter the aviation field.

By doing this, Su Ruohua is essentially trying to undermine Wang Xingguo's position in advance.

This is an objective strategic plan. By the time they graduate, the US will likely be surpassed, at which point the importance of aircraft will decrease, while the importance of spacecraft will increase further. You could also study overall aerospace design if you have some free time...
