Chapter 142: That's Too Bad
It was the first time the factory built a helicopter, and even Chief Engineer Zhang couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Lin Xiangnan didn't want to answer Chief Engineer Zhang's question. He looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear it.
What everyone wants is not an answer, but a sense of security. Lin Xiangnan herself doesn’t even have that, so what can she say?
"Xiao Lin~ Say something, Xiao Lin." Chief Engineer Zhang turned to look at Lin Xiangnan.
"The weather is really nice today, with not a single cloud in the sky." Lin Xiangnan answered a question that was not related to the question.
Chief Engineer Zhang didn't mind and started chatting with Lin Xiangnan, "I picked a good day on purpose."
"Even if the weather is good, there will be strong air currents at a high altitude," said Lin Xiangnan.
After hearing this, Chief Engineer Zhang got nervous again and grumbled in disdain, "Why haven't those people who are watching the fun left yet? They have so much free time."
Although he was not the one being talked about, Lin Xiangnan still felt a little embarrassed because Gu Zhenhua was just there to watch the fun.
Today is the first test flight, and everyone is not very confident, so how can we dare to invite so many people to watch.
This group of officers including Gu Zhenhua came uninvited.
They dispersed into groups and chatted with each other. No one mentioned leaving. They were determined to wait and see the results. They didn't sympathize with the nervousness of Chief Engineer Zhang and others at all.
After a long while, when the buzzing sound of propellers was heard in the sky, Lin Xiangnan and the others finally felt relieved.
Chief Engineer Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if his soul had returned to its place. He then began to organize personnel to check the cabin and inquire about various situations with the test pilot.
"...I encountered a strong air current in the air, and the fuselage was shaking inexplicably, but I managed to stabilize myself later..." The test pilot talked about the problems he encountered in the air.
There was a minor problem, which was expected by Lin Xiangnan and his team. They will just make corrections later. As long as they can land safely, it will be the biggest success.
Seeing such results, Gu Zhenhua and Political Commissar Xu were also excited and cheered one by one.
Gu Zhenhua originally wanted to find Lin Xiangnan to share his happiness, but he and Lin Xiangnan couldn't even say a few words. He could only see Lin Xiangnan busying around, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, constantly taking notes.
Chief Engineer Zhang kept saying, "Xiao Lin, please remember this data... Xiao Lin, please pay special attention to this component..."
At this critical moment, Chief Engineer Zhang was most afraid of any omissions and he did not trust anyone else.
Lin Xiangnan was just worried about the test pilot's life safety, but now it is the time for her to focus on her work. She will do whatever Chief Engineer Zhang tells her to do.
Even when Gu Zhenhua left, she just waved her hand and went back to her own work.
When he was at home, Gu Zhenhua had never been treated like this before, and when he left, he was still a little depressed.
But his group of comrades were all very excited and chattered non-stop on the way back.
"It really flew. Awesome! Chief Engineer Zhang and his team are awesome."
"I know Chief Engineer Zhang is very capable. This is the first time I know that Xiao Lin's wife is so capable. Old Gu is quite good at hiding it, not a single word leaked out."
Gu Zhenhua's shoulders were slapped several times and almost became uneven.
"Be gentle! You guys are going to break my arms."
Gu Zhenhua kicked the person next to him twice and cursed: "Xiao Lin's work also has a confidentiality system. He never tells me about work when he gets home. What should I know?"
"You can't say anything if you don't know. You told us that Xiaolin didn't have a job after graduating from high school. And then he became a technical backbone of Factory 132."
"That's right. Looking at Chief Engineer Zhang's attitude towards my sister-in-law, I know that she is quite capable."
Gu Zhenhua was proud of it. He straightened his chest unconsciously and boasted: "Our Xiao Lin is really amazing. He even won the Model Worker Award this year."
"Everyone knows this. There are even people beating drums and gongs in the factory, so I came here specially."
When everyone was praising Lin Xiangnan, Captain Wang remained silent, feeling jealous.
Seeing Gu Zhenhua like that, Captain Wang said, "You'll have a hard time marrying such a powerful wife. It looks like you won't be able to keep your position as the head of the family."
"Xiao Lin has always been the head of our family. She has a higher education and a smarter brain than me. With her at the helm, our family will only prosper."
Gu Zhenhua couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth and couldn't help showing off: "And Xiao Lin has no other shortcomings, he is just too good to me, which makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Huh?" Captain Wang's eyes widened. "Being too good to you means asking you to wash clothes, cook, sweep the floor and take care of the kids?"
Anyway, he was not happy to do these things. Every time he saw Gu Zhenhua working, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Gu Zhenhua looked at him with disdain, "What do you know? Your thinking is a bit backward..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue over this matter again, Political Commissar Xu quickly changed the subject.
"I don't know when we can get this helicopter."
Gu Zhenhua's attention was immediately drawn, and he said, "It's just that the requirements for this pilot are a bit high."
"With the release of new equipment, we have to learn new things and study new tactics."
"I don't know when the leadership will arrange the next military exercise."
When a group of people were thinking about how to improve, Gu Zhenhua suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
He could ask Lin Xiangnan to give him secret lessons at home. When it comes to this new equipment, no one else knows it as well as Lin Xiangnan from the technical department.
Spending most of half a year on a project and building a helicopter from scratch, even an idiot can tell the whole story, let alone a smart person like Lin Xiangnan.
Gu Zhenhua and the other group of people who came to watch the fun left, but Lin Xiangnan and the others were still busy.
Lin Xiangnan was responsible for recording all the data on site and then classifying them. During the afternoon meeting, Chief Engineer Zhang handed the task to an individual, and Lin Xiangnan returned to a relaxed state.
Although the test pilot encountered some minor problems in mid-air, overall the test flight was successful. At least it took off and landed successfully.
Lin Xiangnan couldn't help humming songs after get off work.
She finally doesn't have to have those outrageous dreams at night anymore, and she feels relieved just thinking about it.
But when Lin Xiangnan passed by the grove, he once again saw the familiar figure of Jin Baoguang sitting beside the flower bed.
The back figure was twitching, which made Lin Xiangnan suspicious. Could Jin Baoguang be crying again?
She said that the pressure was too great and someone would go crazy.
Lin Xiangnan walked over silently, and before he could say anything, he heard the sound of Jin Baoguang blowing his nose.
Jin Baoguang first used a handkerchief to wipe his nose, then folded it in half and wiped the tears from his face, then wiped his nose again.
"Jin Gong, you are too rude." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but complain.
