On the other side, inside 601.

After nearly three weeks of intensive work, according to the drawings provided by Chen Nian, the F-22, or the full-scale model of the J-22 that should be called now, was completed and sent to the wind tunnel laboratory immediately.

In the main control room, Lei Gang stared nervously at the screen. He wanted to talk to someone, but everyone around him was busy. On the contrary, he, the project team leader, seemed to have nothing to do.

So, he had to stand alone in front of the entrance of the wind tunnel, staring at the "airplane" in the wind tunnel in a daze.

Strictly speaking, it's not even an airplane.

It's just a "model airplane shell".

However, just this aircraft shell was an unattainable existence for his own group of researchers not long ago.

It's so beautiful.

Until this moment, Lei just now truly understood the concept of "weapon aesthetics" that Chen Nian mentioned earlier.

Those tough and smooth lines, those sharp wing angles, that aggressive nose

At first glance, every part of this plane seems to be born for blood and fire.

Although there is no record about it in this world, it is easy to know how this bird of prey will shock the world in the near future.

And its first target, will it be us?

This idea flashed through Lei Gang's mind.

If it was normal, he would probably feel a heavy pressure, anxiety, and even fear.

But today, he was extremely calm.

Because he knew that it wouldn't be long before a plane capable of confronting it would appear in the skies of this country.

And this plane will be born from his hands.

Thinking of this, Lei Gang rubbed his face with his hands, then walked to the operating table and sat in the command position.

In the wind tunnel, the "J-22" has been fixed, and the operators have also completed the evacuation.

All eyes turned to Lei Gang, waiting for him to issue that significant order.

The simulated data is only simulated data, and even the data generated by the previous small model is not completely convincing. Today's results will truly determine the life or death of this aircraft.

Lei Gang took a deep breath and said:

"Project 22, Test Machine No. 01, Wind Tunnel Test No. A01, start!"

As the voice fell, switches were turned on one by one, a huge roar sounded, and dense sensors recorded every gust of wind and every stream of air passing over the body.

This is where the intense work begins.

In this era when the performance of wind tunnels is relatively backward, this hurricane above Mach 2.0 will blow intermittently throughout the night.

Early the next morning, Chen Guo, who was still asleep, was woken up by the phone. He had just said "Hello" in a daze, when a loud roar from the phone rushed into his ears:

"It's done! Old Chen, it's done! The wind tunnel data is almost perfect. There is no problem with Chen Nian's design, and it can be used directly!"

"We have now completed the high-speed flow field experiment and simulated the cruising environment. We have done flutter, buffeting, and dynamic stability. We will do unsteady pressure later. From the current point of view, there should be no problems!"

"No, even if there is a problem, it is also a problem with the workmanship of our model. The design is absolutely accurate!"

Hearing Lei Gang's excited voice, Chen Guo sighed helplessly, and said:

"Old Lei, did you call me early in the morning just to tell me something that I already knew the result of?"

"What words! What are you talking about! You know the result, don't I know the result?"

"Do you understand the significance of the equal-scale wind tunnel experiment? Now that the body has been proven to be fine, I'm going to stuff the structure right away!"

"Give me two months, and I will be able to build the skeleton of this plane. Don't you know how fast this progress is?"

Lei Gang's tone was a bit unfriendly, and he secretly cursed in his heart:

Sure enough, people who are not on the front line are different. Chen Guo actually has an attitude of not caring about such a major development.

And Chen Guo obviously also realized that he said something wrong, so he quickly sat up from the bed, changed his tone and said:

"My fault, my fault, don't be impatient. It's not that I don't care about the project, I have confidence in you."

"I've read all the experimental data before. Don't say it's sure, it's sure. If you tell me now, I won't be surprised."

"However, this is indeed a major progress. The airframe design has been solved, and the next step is to leave avionics, hydraulics, power, and fuel."

"Well, do you have a plan?"

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Lei Gang snorted and replied:

"Your words sound nice, when will you come over to the office and help me with some work!"

"Anyway, I'm working on airframes. Those modules are out of my control, but I've made great progress."

"The 606 Institute has already started to model the F119 engine based on Chen Nian's data. I heard that it scares a lot of people. The data is too accurate."

"Now their biggest problem is the material. Although TC4 and the new nickel-iron alloy have the principle, the equipment is limited to the laboratory, and the output cannot keep up."

"In addition, the material of the fan blade has been solved, and the combustion chamber is basically no problem, but there are still two materials that have not been overcome, the flame retardant and the thermal barrier."

"I guess it will take some time, this matter can't be rushed."

Chen Guo on the other end of the phone nodded, and said with some regret:

"Our foundation is still a bit weak. The current situation can't keep up with Chen Nian's progress."

Lei Gang also sighed.

"Come on step by step. By the way, when will you come to the institute?"

"It won't pass in the short term——I have to follow Chen Nian, the superior's request. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, then you can do business first, and I will follow here first."

The two exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

Chen Guo walked out of the room and poured herself a cup of hot water from the thermos, secretly thinking about the flame retardant and thermal barrier materials mentioned by Lei Gang.

Although he has never set foot in this field, judging from the information he has learned from various aspects, the difficulty of these two materials does not seem to be lower than the two main materials given by Chen Nian before.

Possibly even harder.

This time, can he surprise himself and the project team in a short period of time?

Chen Guo shook her head amusedly.

It should not be possible.

It is said that Chen Nian is a genius and has great luck, but even so, it is hard for Chen Guo to imagine that he can help the project team overcome another problem.

Because, if this is the case, then the efficiency of his knowledge absorption and transformation is really frighteningly high.

After all, according to the intelligence of the security personnel, Chen Nian only started to look at materials related to ceramic materials three days ago.

After all, it would take him a month or two to digest the knowledge in the book before he could start his own research and innovation, right?

Is there a way to help him speed up?

Chen Guo scratched her head, and was about to call Hu Xu to ask about it, but when she glanced at the wall clock on the wall, she realized that it was only 6 o'clock, so she dismissed the idea.

Or wait until he wakes up to ask.

So, he lay back on the bed again, and fell asleep again in a daze.

But before he fell asleep completely, the phone beside the bed suddenly rang loudly again.

"Who is it?"

Chen Guo braced herself up to answer the phone, and on the other end, excited shouts sounded again.

"Old Chen, it's done! It's done! TBC is done!"

"What became it? Who? Hu Xu? What TBC?"

"TBC! Thermal barrier coating! Thermal barrier coating for aviation! It's done! Ceramic-based! Laboratory trial production is successful!"
