"Principal Su, hello! We've received the latest notification and are here to report for duty!"
Su Lin looked at the 50 elderly men and women in front of him.
This is what professionalism is all about. You can tell at a glance that they're leaders in their respective fields.
"No need to be polite, please sit down! Let me introduce myself first?"
"Yong XX, head of the Brain and Intelligence Laboratory at Tsinghua University,"
"Li X, Vice Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology,"
"Lin XX, Dean of the School of Power and Energy, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics,"
"Professor Lü XX, Lifetime Professor and Honorary Vice Dean of the School of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China,"
"Xie XX, Head of the Structural and Fire-Resistant Laboratory, South China University of Technology,"
"Wang XX, Head of the Wind Turbine Laboratory, National University of Defense Technology,"
........
Holy crap, no wonder it's the Oriental Scholars Project; no wonder it's so expensive at 100 million!
They basically recruited all the lab directors and top professors from the top science and engineering universities in China.
Su Lin distributed the information on the WS-15 engine to each of the professors, giving them a copy.
"This is the project we're developing this time, and our partner is the Northern Military Region of China."
Confidentiality Level: Top Secret. Professors, please take a look and familiarize yourselves with the basic information about the project.
When the 50 professors opened the materials, their eyes widened in shock.
"A vector turbofan engine??? Principal Su, are you kidding me? We haven't even independently developed a high-thrust engine yet, this design is way too advanced!"
"Maximum thrust exceeding 180 kN??? That's 50% higher than the F-110-GE-400 turbofan engine used in the American F-14?"
"Isn't the most advanced engine in China the WS-6 series? Why does the engine code shown in this document seem to be WS-15???"
"This isn't a shortcut to overtake; this is a move to strangle the Americans?"
"Principal Su, are there any errors in these design parameters? Currently, our domestic R&D technology and manufacturing capabilities..."
It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!
"The combustion chamber temperature reaches a maximum of 2200 degrees Celsius, using the best alloy material currently available for mass production in China."
Even they can't withstand such high temperatures!
Xie XX, head of the Structural and Refractories Laboratory at South China University of Technology, exclaimed in surprise.
"The high-pressure rotor speed is measured in revolutions per minute. The engine blades must withstand centrifugal forces at least ten thousand times their own weight."
The requirements for the material's plasticity and resistance to deformation are too high!
The meeting room suddenly became noisy.
Based on the assessment of these 50 professors, not to mention China, even the United States could not possibly manufacture such a powerful aircraft engine at present.
"Design drawings, schematic diagrams, material analysis, production lines, wind tunnel labs, high-temperature materials—there will be dedicated personnel to coordinate with you."
You only need to focus on production. Anyone who finds it too difficult can submit their resignation now and withdraw from the project.
I, Su Lin, will absolutely not make things difficult for anyone.
Su Lin scanned the 50 professors.
"By the way, all engineers involved in this project will receive a stipend of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan per year."
The Lanxiang Group will reimburse all expenses, including a 200,000 yuan settlement allowance, free medical care for the entire immediate family, and the child's pre-university education.
The schools they attended were the top universities in Jinan!
Su Lin, who had traveled through time, understood.
These scientists have dedicated half their lives to the development of the nation's cutting-edge technologies.
The compensation must be increased.
These days, even a minor celebrity like an 18th-tier star can easily earn over ten thousand yuan a month just by doing some gigs.
We definitely can't treat these professors unfairly!
"Let's do it! If we don't do it, are we going to let our descendants do it?"
"Exactly, is it any more difficult than developing the atomic bomb? It still came out of nowhere, didn't it?"
"We can't just keep copying the Russians' homework forever, can we? Principal Su is so determined, I'll do this project!"
"If we can really develop such a powerful engine, our air force can finally hold its head high!"
"Principal Su, we'll follow you!"
As expected, they are top researchers from major science and engineering universities. Provoked by Su Lin's words,
They all agreed!
"Alright! Let's show the Americans that they're not going to block us with technology!"
After a brief pep rally, Su Lin asked Uncle Liu to introduce the professors...
They arranged for us to stay in the best guesthouse.
Now all the frontline engineers and senior engineers are present.
They checked the heads of each R&D department.
Su Lin leaned against the window in her office, gazing at the cloudless sky.
A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed as if I could see the J-20 piercing the sky.
Truly graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon...
"Beep beep beep~ You have a new email, please check it!"
Su Lin walked to his desk and opened his email system.
The final piece of the puzzle has appeared.
"Dear President Su, on behalf of the Caltech Power Engineering Institute, I am very honored to receive your invitation."
I believe that by participating in this research and development activity, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve great success.
A tribute to Haisheng Hu, Dean of the Institute for Dynamics at Caltech.
Hu Haisheng? Su Lin had never heard of that name before. He opened the computer's search engine...
After searching,
Hu Haisheng, the youngest Panetti Prize laureate, is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Tenured professor at Caltech.
Isn't this the Panetti Scholar program I purchased through the system, which hires one of the world's top mechanics experts?
Su Lin just realized,
My inbox started buzzing incessantly; I checked and saw 17 new unread emails.
Upon opening it,
Chen Shih-Lin is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Turing Award winner.
American of Chinese descent, head of the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois.
Terence Tao, mathematician, foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and Abel Prize laureate.
Currently serving as the head of NASA's Aerospace Technology Division, specifically the Ames Research Center.
Scroll down further, and you'll find heads of top universities or national laboratories from around the world.
Based on the content of the emails, it can be deduced that they were all invited by Su Lin to participate in the research and development of the WS-15 turbofan engine.
Su Lin clicked to reply to all.
"Project Emei launched, return immediately!!!"
I quickly received replies to 18 emails.
"receive!!!"
There were 4 chapters today. I'll add two extra chapters to make up for the ones I missed, and two more extra chapters tomorrow.
To all the generous gift-givers, thank you for your understanding. I've been working overtime non-stop, and my boss is even considering cutting my paycheck!
