"Holy crap! What's that???"

"A helicopter? Or an attack helicopter?"

"Did our school mess with someone we shouldn't have?"

"Learning to operate an excavator and even getting to see helicopters—the tuition is definitely worth it!"

Early in the morning, Su Lin heard students making a fuss while doing morning exercises on the playground from his office.

A phone call was made to Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu, what happened? Aren't you going to enforce school discipline?"

"Principal Su, Major General He parked a Z-9 helicopter on our playground. How could these kids not get excited?"

Su Lin walked to the office window, pulled back the curtains, and looked out...

All the students on the playground gathered around.

These kids originally came from various towns and villages across the country. Before coming to the big city of Jinan,

The largest machine I've ever seen is probably a tractor.

Upon seeing the armed helicopters, everyone was so excited they almost jumped for joy.

"Alright, bring Major General He up first! Oh, and say hello to Major General He."

Let the students get a closer look, but absolutely no touching, understand?

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

The Z-9 is currently the most advanced attack helicopter in service with the Chinese Army.

This is a good opportunity to cultivate students' patriotism.

These children will be trained to become the next generation of aerospace engineers for China.

"Knock knock knock~~~~"

Major General He knocked on the door and came in.

"Brother Su!!!! It's been so long!!!!"

Upon seeing Su Lin, he unceremoniously sat down on the office sofa, crossed his legs, and...

"It's only been two days! Dean Miao asked you to come!"

"Yes, yes, yes! They said you wanted to visit our 031 R&D base, Brother Su."

That's why I personally flew here to pick you up!

As he spoke, he began to drink the tea on the table, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

"This tea is wonderful! Where did you get it, Brother Su?"

He gestured to the staff accompanying him, "Pack some up to take back."

"You little brat, you have no manners! Dean Miao asked you to pick me up, not for you to come and freeload tea!"

This is a school. Won't bringing an armed helicopter here disrupt the students' studies?

"What impact will it have? Patriotic education should start from a young age."

Men should know about military equipment. Don't even mention what I was doing when I came downstairs just now.

Your little brats are so excited!

"By the way, how far is Base 031?"

"It's very close, just in the suburbs of Jinan. How about I fly a private jet to pick you up?"

"Brother Su, when are we leaving?"

Time is running out for Su Lin. He heard at the last meeting that the Americans have started flexing their muscles in Philippine waters.

Knowing the Americans' nature, they definitely won't let this go so easily; who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause next.

"Let's go now!"

"Alright! Pack more, do you think our Brother Su is such a stingy person?"

As he was leaving, Major General He reminded his colleagues to take all the remaining tea leaves with them!

Accompanied by Major General He and two armed men,

Su Lin arrived at the playground.

The students quickly made way for them.

"They picked up our principal? Principal Su has such a powerful background?"

"I wish I could be like Principal Su. A man's duty is to protect his country!"

"You should study cooking hard, and become a cook after graduation! Hahaha!"

"What? Aren't cooks soldiers? I told my mom I'd enlist after graduation."

You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't join the army!

The helicopter slowly ascended, and the students below still looked longingly at the sky...

"Brother Su, I heard that this time we're developing an aero engine?"

"You're pretty well-informed, aren't you?"

"Of course! After Dean Miao finished his meeting and returned to the acting studio, he couldn't sleep every night. These past two days, he's been dragging me to his room for a couple of drinks."

I arrived at the 031 R&D base yesterday to wait for you!

Dean Miao may not excel at much else, but his hospitality is impeccable.

Knowing that Su Lin was going to inspect Base 031 today, he arrived early.

"You should learn more from your dean. This world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social skills!"

"Hehe! I'm following your Brother Su, aren't I? Brother Su, hold on tight, we're preparing for landing!"

Major General He Yunfeng piloted the Z-9 helicopter in a dive and landed on an abandoned airstrip.

Before I even got off the plane, I saw Dean Miao waving and running towards me.

"Principal Su, welcome, welcome! You've come to our 031 R&D base to inspect our work!"

Su Lin looked around.

The base is surrounded by mountains, and its foundation is located on a large plain.

Both its concealment and size perfectly meet the requirements for developing the WS-15 turbofan engine.

"This location is great!"

"Of course, Principal Su, how could I not take your request seriously?"

This area is over 500 acres; you could build a rocket there!

"Dean Miao, how long has it been since our Z-9 helicopters were upgraded? Why don't we develop one while we're at it?"

"Don't be so disrespectful. This research and development is directly led by Commander Tang. As long as the JX-10 series engine development goes smoothly..."

"Could Principal Su have forgotten about our Fifth Research Institute? Right, Principal Su?"

This is a perfect back-and-forth!

However, the upgrade and modification project for the Z-9 helicopter is also in Su Lin's plans.

Improving air force strength cannot rely solely on fighter jets.
