Back Before the College Entrance Exam, I Became Popular in the Science Community

Returning to the time before the college entrance exam, Wu Tong decided to study hard to change the tragedy of her previous life and become her parents' pride. From being the top student in her gr...

Chapter 285: Building up momentum

As soon as they mentioned Cao Cao, he showed up. They had just mentioned Professor Feng Yuanyang, and now they ran into Feng Yuanyang who was doing the final inspection in front of the control room.

As the deputy chief designer of the project, he and Engineer Zhan arrived at the institute almost before dawn, leading engineers and research staff to conduct inspections over and over again until now.

The passion in their hearts makes them passionate from head to toe, as if they have endless energy!

"Old Feng!" Engineer Zhan greeted him with a smile and patted Feng Yuanyang heavily on the shoulder, reminding the old man to hurry up. They had worked together for such a long time, but this guy had never pointed it out!

He simply couldn't believe Feng Yuanyang didn't know his student's background. At his level, admitting a student wouldn't require him to check his entire family, if not his entire ancestry. At the very least, he could at least verify their social connections for three generations! Military academy admissions were always subject to social connections checks, especially with Wu Tong and Jin Xin. They were a close family relationship, practically reaching the level of direct relatives! There was no way he didn't know!

He is indeed a typical example of burying the meat in the bowl and enjoying it secretly.

Old Feng was a generation younger than him, a renowned genius back in the day, a hallmark of the National Defense University. However, the way they addressed each other was a matter of habit after they'd gotten to know each other.

"Engineer Zhan, General Manager Lu, this is... General Manager Wu, right?" Feng Yuanyang graduated from a military academy and is still following daily training. He is just over forty years old and is in the prime of his life. His back is straight and he looks energetic. One glance at him can give people a strong sense of military atmosphere.

Although the information circulating about Wu Tong has been on the hot search list many times, due to the control of the regulatory authorities, not much information or photos of Wu Tong have been leaked to the outside world so far.

Although he had never met Wu Tong formally, but seeing such a young person appear here, and Engineer Zhan just went out temporarily to pick someone up, and being treated so formally by Engineer Zhan and President Lu, he reacted quickly and realized that it was Wu Tong.

As Jin Xin's mentor and a leading expert in the industry, he had always followed Wu Tong. Especially since joining the H-20 project team and learning about Wu Tong's achievements, he was deeply impressed and looked forward to the opportunity to meet Wu Tong in person. His student didn't aspire to be as dazzling as Wu Tong in the future, but if he could surpass his achievements, he would be quite satisfied.

As for asking too much of Jin Xin? That's as it should be. That silly boy is so lucky to have such a super-smart sister and such a buggy cheat. If Jin Xin doesn't push him to achieve even greater success, he'll chase him down with a stick and spur him on!

"Hello, Professor Feng, I've long admired you!" Wu Tong smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Feng Yuanyang. She was not lying. Her younger brother was taught by this mentor. Every time she spoke to him, she would hear him talk about his mentor. Wu Tong had really admired him for a long time.

"I've long admired the name of Wushen!" Feng Yuanyang's smile widened. The title of Wushen had resounded throughout the nation, and he and Wu Tong were now legitimate family members. "That brat probably doesn't have a good reputation for me!" Don't think he didn't know that Jin Xin, that brat, called him the Devil Mentor behind his back.

Hey...if that kid wasn't quite promising, and had such good external resources, if he hadn't put a little more pressure on him, would he have been able to improve so quickly? Fortunately, although that brat was a bit of a worry, he was not the least bit vague in completing his homework and researching the mountain.

"No, the young man has great respect for you. He said that it was thanks to your keen eye that you discovered this talent and devoted your teaching to him. He will definitely not let you down!" Wu Tong smiled and summarized the praise Jin Xin had given his mentor behind his mutterings. ยทยทยท

"So, are you praising him, or are you praising him?" Feng Yuanyang raised an eyebrow. The brat still seemed under enough pressure, yet he still wanted to show off his eloquence! Back home, I could give him more responsibilities! His younger sister was already world-renowned. With the Fields Medal in hand, she had achieved remarkable results on the secret front, contributing to the design and development of two major fighter jets. How could he, as her older brother, feel so embarrassed to be so far behind?

Don't embarrass your sister. Congratulations to that brat. He's honored to be able to do the opposite of others!

Feng Yuanyang was happy just thinking about it. Fortunately, his silly apprentice was a big-hearted person. His sister Wu Tong also valued her brother wholeheartedly. She pulled the boy up from the level of a poor student to the provincial second place. She laid a solid foundation for him and developed his focused learning ability, which enabled him to enter the major he liked, tap into the boy's talent, and change his destiny!

There are many smart and talented people in this world, but many of them are born at the wrong time and miss the opportunity to explore their talents and continue to improve, and eventually become mediocre.

"Haha... Old Feng, you're quick, so just be happy! Don't make us jealous here!" Engineer Zhan rolled his eyes at Feng Yuanyang. This was a typical example of someone who talks without thinking. "Are all the preparations done?"

After a few casual words, Mr. Zhan got straight to the point.

"This is the tenth inspection. Another ten minutes and we'll be done. We'll start shipping shortly!" Turning to the main topic, Feng Yuanyang glanced at the time and confirmed with a serious expression. This matter was of such importance that they would rather waste time and energy than allow even the slightest error. The entire H-20 had been inspected and assembled component by component, and now they were repeating the flaw detection inspections, all for the ultimate success.

It's fair to say that these designers, more than anyone else, are eager to see the H-20 successfully soar into the skies and dazzle the world. To outsiders, it might seem unnecessary to conduct extensive testing. After all, development has been so smooth, and the Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute has already taken care of everything.

However, as the person in charge of R&D, Engineer Zhan still insisted on testing over and over again to ensure that everything was foolproof. This is the rigorous craftsman spirit inherited from the older generation, and it is also the spirit that scientific research should possess. As the new generation of leaders, Wu Tong and Lu Xiao also continue to adhere to this tradition and do not find it cumbersome.

There are no chances of accidents in scientific research, especially for bombers, which are destined to fly into the sky. They must be absolutely responsible for the country's funding and the safety of the test pilots.

Everyone's life is born from their mother and raised by their parents. The cost of training a pilot, especially a top-tier pilot, and the cost of developing and building a bomber are significant. The H-20 has been considered smooth and economical. The total R&D expenditure has exceeded tens of billions of dollars, all real money. They didn't waste the opportunity for trial and error! They also don't need another tragic cenotaph in the martyrs' cemetery!

Ten minutes passed quickly, the preparations were completed, and the H-20 test flight entered the countdown, ready to take off.

Following Engineer Zhan's instructions, the hangar gates opened.
