"Brother Lu, please teach me!" Lu Xiao had said so much. Any further refusal would have seemed hypocritical or timid. Wu Tong stopped refusing and turned to the main topic.
This was her first time serving as Chief Designer of a fighter jet, and she needed to learn more from her mentor, Lu Xiao. Wu Tong always listened to others' advice and didn't mind learning more, such as team management and experience in developing large-scale projects. As long as others were willing to teach her from their strengths, Wu Tong was happy to learn.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "No problem, I will tell you everything I know, and we'll have a pleasant cooperation!" Wu Tong is in charge of core research and development, and he is responsible for monitoring and arranging the progress. With these two swords combined, they will surely be invincible and create the world's most powerful carrier-based aircraft!
"It's a pleasure working with you!" She and Brother Lu had collaborated several times, and each one was a pleasure.
"The higher-ups have already allocated research funds to the J-35 project team!"
"Brother Lu, you should arrange the allocation of funds!" After preliminary study, Wu Tong decided to leave the overall planning to Lu Xiao, who was more proficient in it, and she would learn from him first.
"Okay, I'll check in with you about the large transfer! I'll transfer the initial material R&D funds to the Interdisciplinary Research Institute account first. I'll be waiting for your good news on the material upgrades!" Lu Xiao had experience as a deputy before, so he quickly got into the swing of things. Wu Tong's recent focus was on material upgrades and engine R&D upgrades, and Lu Xiao took over the initial planning without hesitation.
Led by Wu Tong, the team has completed all the R&D and design. It is just a material upgrade plan that needs experimental verification. Naturally, there are no major problems. The two project teams are running in parallel. With the accumulation of time, they can get two-way results in one or two days, and then spend several days repeating the preparation to verify and fine-tune the process... The implementation is very smooth.
Each achievement shocked the participants to the point of numbness. Lin Yanan and Li Yungui, the new replacements for the core team, were even more amazed.
When did scientific research become so easy? They just go through trial and error, trial and error, and more trial and error! But Mr. Wu treats his problems as if they have known answers. Just follow the steps, and as long as there are no operational errors, the results are basically transcendent.
One of them had previously performed outstandingly among the researchers in Mr. Cheng's team, and was as capable as any man. The other was recommended by Zhang Shaoming, a capable student he had mentored in recent years. They also joined the institute after its establishment and had been working in an ordinary team for several months. They had enough experience and were noticed by Mr. Cheng, who then reported them to Wu Tong, who screened and tested them and allowed them to become new members of the core team.
The candidate team members recommended by all parties have basically entered the institute. Most of them are from the disciples of Mr. Cheng or his old friends. The old man rarely speaks, and all those who have a friendship with Mr. Cheng or have been taught by him have been carefully screened and recommended. After multiple checks by the security department, those who can enter the institute are all sufficiently reliable candidates.
Tao Ran and others have already achieved their own results, which have widened the gap between them and ordinary researchers. After entering the institute, these people were not immediately included in the core team. They are like seeds, nurtured in the big environment, sprouting and breaking through the soil. Only those with outstanding performance can enter the core team. This is an inevitable process.
Although Wu Tong's core team is small in number, they are elite and have a reserve base at the lower level of the research institute, so there is no rush to expand.
Within twenty days, under the leadership of Wu Tong, the main materials needed for aircraft engines had completed the overall material preparation experiments and process cycle confirmation.
Data records, process records, core ratios... a lot of important information was gathered into a matchbox-sized USB drive, carefully placed in a titanium alloy safe, and directly buckled on the wrist of the leader who came to pick up the materials.
"Mr. Wu, the escort personnel are in place and can set off at any time!" As Wu Tong's prestige gradually became established, Cai Yi and others spontaneously changed their addresses to honorifics again.
Once the improved materials were complete, the process data needed to be sent to Factory 114 for production and processing. Cai Yi also clutched an encrypted safe, which contained the WS-B1's most core R&D data, top secret among the top secrets!
She, meanwhile, was heading to the 614th Institute simultaneously. General Yang Wei had been eagerly awaiting this opportunity. The preliminary design drawings for the WS-B1 variable cycle engine had already been escorted to the 614th Institute by security personnel.
However, even after thoroughly understanding the design theory, they still have many difficult and confusing issues, and they urgently need the personal guidance of Wu Tong, the R&D creator. At the same time, if WS-B1 is to meet expectations, Wu Tong also needs to personally supervise improvements and optimize material matching.
"Mr. Wu, we finally have you here!" At a military-commercial airport in Chang'an, as soon as Wu Tong stepped off the special plane, Yang Wei immediately came up to him with a beaming smile.
"Teacher Yang, you can just call me by my name. It's nice to see you again!" Wu Tong shook hands with Mr. Yang and greeted him. It can be said that her foundation in aviation engines was laid from Mr. Yang's WS-15 research and development materials. Although they did not have a teacher-student relationship, Wu Tong respected Mr. Yang as her instructor from the bottom of her heart.
"I'll take you to see where I live first, and then have a simple meal!" Yang Wei invited warmly.
They figured that since Wu Tong had come all this way to teach them, to bring them new technologies and advancements, they had to provide him with a good reception first. On the first day, no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't immediately pull Wu Tong along to answer their questions; they had to give him some time to rest.
"Teacher Yang, there's no need to rush about these things. It's still early. Let's go to the research institute first and talk about it in detail!" Accommodation and meals. For Wu Tong, having a place to rest and decent food is enough. She is not picky about these. She just needs to ask Mr. Yang to arrange someone and bring Sister An to help bring the luggage to her residence. Since she has arrived at Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation, she will directly start the discussion and development of WS-B1.
Those formalities can be put aside for now. As for the J-35 project, who said there is no requirement for how long it will be completed? However, Wu Tong is used to high efficiency in research and development. Now it is mid-November. If possible, she hopes to complete this research and development task before the New Year. On the one hand, it is the New Year, and she wants to give a gift to the motherland.
The second is to fulfill my small wish of returning home safely and spending the New Year with my family.
Last year, she spent the New Year with the project team. While there was nothing wrong with that, it was a lot of hard work for her parents to travel thousands of miles, through Qinzhou and Xizhou, to accompany her. She felt bad for making her family worry!
"Okay, let's go!" Wu Tong was completely absorbed in R&D, so Yang Wei naturally wouldn't hold him back. He was also a R&D geek, the kind who got carried away at the mention of R&D progress. Immediately, they cleared Wu Tong into the car and headed straight for Institute 614.
Following General Manager Yang into Institute 614, Wu Tong took note of the institute's location as he explained the institute's brief layout along the way.
