AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Chapter 597: 238, can go home for a good New Year!_2 Chapter 597: 238, can go home for a good New Year!_2 “It should be you, after all, you are the chief engineer of the vector engine.”

Liu Limin clearly knew that there were definitely many eyes watching the military factory, and after the recent experiment, Grand Xia had indeed reaped tangible benefits and advantages.

Naturally, his own reputation would shine, and it would greatly help his future prospects.

After all, he had always been Lin Mo’s supervisor, and many dealings with the upper echelons were conveyed through him.

This was enough for Liu Limin; he did not wish to claim undue credit and take the research of the vector engine upon himself.

Academician Li said with a smile, “Xiao Liu is right, Chief Engineer Lin, don’t be modest.

Today’s ceremony is your moment.

Without you leading us all, it might have taken another three to five years for our country to have its own vector engine.”

“Chief Engineer Lin, go ahead!”

Who initiated the firing was a seemingly small matter, but it carried great symbolic significance.

…

Through the past half month’s interactions, Academician Li and the others had developed a high admiration for Lin Mo, and they understood that Lin Mo was still very young, and his achievements in the future would certainly be limitless.

If he could attain more honors and experience at his age, it would certainly be of great benefit to his future development.

Of course, this was because they did not know about the things Lin Mo had done abroad.

If they had, they would not think of this as much of an honor for him.

“Alright, since everyone insists, I won’t be modest.”

“Otherwise, we’ll be wasting time.”

Lin Mo did not say anything more, took a deep breath, and pressed the power button on the tablet.

Whirr…

whirring…

Almost the instant he pressed the button, the engine of the J-10 duck-wing fighter jet roared to life again, and the whole aircraft, like an ancient behemoth awakening, exuded an incredible sense of presence.

All eyes focused on the belly and rear of the fighter jet.

Under their gaze, the engine nozzles at the rear began to visibly adjust their angle slowly, while flames also started to burst forth from the underbelly of the aircraft.

The color of the flames deepened, and the roar of the engine grew louder and louder.

When the noise broke through a critical threshold, the body of the fighter began to tremble slightly, and then, little by little, it started to rise into the air.

This ascent was unlike the normal takeoff of planes, which sprint on the runway for a while until they gain enough speed and then use air lift to gain upward force.

This time, the flight of the fighter jet was more like the lifting method of a helicopter, with direct upward thrust being applied on flat ground, controlling the aircraft’s ascent.

In the professional field, this manner of takeoff is called vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and it is the best proof of having equipped a vector engine.

After all, traditional engines can only provide forward thrust, which is fundamentally different from vector engines.

The fighter jet was five meters above the ground, and on the vast runway, apart from the buzzing of the engine, no other sound could be heard.

No one spoke.

Even Liu Limin, who knew little about aeronautics, couldn’t help but tense up when he felt the anxious moods of the academicians and scientific researchers around him.

Just being able to fly was not the key.

Provided enough power, even a brick weighing twenty or thirty tons could manage vertical takeoff and landing.

This did not require much technology; sufficient engine horsepower would suffice.

The real challenge of a vector engine was in how to ensure that after taking off, while in a vertical orientation, it could provide forward thrust and control the aircraft to ascend to greater heights.

This was difficult.

If the thrust was too strong, the fighter jet might face issues due to the conflicting forces of upward and forward thrust.

At the same time, the thrust could not be too weak.

If the thrust was too weak, it would fail to overcome the downward force, leading to a potential stall in the fighter jet.

A stall was a very serious matter.

If a fighter jet stalled at ten thousand meters, the pilot and aircraft might still have a chance, but at a few hundred meters, or even the less than one hundred meters they were at now, stalling would undoubtedly result in the destruction of both plane and pilot.

Even the chance to eject would not exist.

It was precisely this assortment of tense emotions that made the atmosphere at the site so strained.

Soon,

the computer screen displayed that the Jian-10 Duck-wing fighter jet’s ascent speed had reached 80 meters, which was the standard height at which it could normally level out for stable flight.

But at this altitude, the plane began to rock slightly, and the likelihood of resonance increased more and more.

If resonance occurred, the subsequent scene was predictable, as it would inevitably lead to the destruction of the aircraft and loss of life, with absolutely no second possibility.

“Quick, level it out for stable flight!”

“Don’t wait, now!”

At the critical moment, Academician Liu’s voice rang out over the loudspeakers in the command center of the control tower.

The tower was filled with ace pilots, and only when they reached this level were they given the opportunity to take on the important position of test pilot.

Although today none of them needed to sit in the cockpit to control the aircraft’s flight, their work was not easy.

Controlling the fighter jet through a screen was definitely more difficult than personally sitting in the cockpit.

What’s more crucial was that they were operating vectoring jet engines for the first time ever, and the greater their concern about potential problems, the tenser they felt.

This was Grand Xia’s first trial flight of a vectoring jet engine, with its importance being no less than that of creating a new type of aircraft.

After all, the engine is the heart of a fighter jet; although the current model was the Jian-10 Duck-wing fighter jet, with a new heart installed, it had transformed into an entirely different fighter jet.

“Huff…”

“Don’t hesitate, follow Academician Liu’s command and level out immediately.”

“You all remember, this test flight is of great importance, we absolutely cannot afford any oversight.”

“The future development of Grand Xia’s Air Force relies on your performance now!”

Upon receiving the command, the control personnel decisively relayed the next steps in the flight plan to the captain and co-pilot.

Both of them were battle-hardened, and although they felt some nerves, they had faced countless dangerous moments and survived; perhaps their piloting skills weren’t the best in the world, but their mental toughness was surely very strong.

They rapidly adjusted the aircraft’s power distribution, increased the power at the tail, and pulled the throttle deeply downward.

Buzz…

Buzz, buzz…

The Jian-10 Duck-wing fighter jet let out a roar like a wild beast once again and, following that, rapidly powered up at nearly a hundred meters of low altitude, piercing diagonally into the clear sky.

The entire process was easier than imagined.

And when the fighter jet had taken to the sky and gradually disappeared from sight, the scene was such that many scientists and scholars on site began to get excited as well.

“It’s a success…

it really is a success!!!”

“Haha, I knew we could do it!”

“Chief Engineer Chen, I can’t thank you enough, thank you for bringing us such a wonderful experience!”

“Hurrah!”

“Hahaha…

Now I can finally go home and have a good New Year!”

The crowd began to cheer, they took off their hats, threw them into the air, waved their arms, and shouted loudly, expressing their excitement and releasing the pressure they had been under.

In just over a month, they had created a vectoring jet engine from nothing.

Such an achievement was more than enough for many people present to boast about for a lifetime!

Liu Limin was so excited that he grabbed Lin Mo’s hand, and said with immense gratitude, “Comrade Lin Mo…

thank you…

thank you…”

“Thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made for the country and the people!!!”
