"Now that the model has been verified, let's find a way to do it as soon as possible. Are there any difficulties now?"

Lei Gang looked at Chen Guo excitedly and asked.

"Then there will be more difficulties... The first is the problem of parts, which needs Chen Nian to solve - of course, we also need to form a project team to explore and verify."

"The second thing is the materials. If you look at the structural design, it's obvious that special materials need to be used in certain areas, otherwise they won't be able to withstand high temperatures and pressures."

"Our foundation is still very weak in this area, and it is very difficult to create a truly functional body."

"But of course, if we only do wind tunnel verification, the technology on hand is enough. Anyway, it's just a shell."

Chen Guo replied with some regret.

What a pity, what a pity!

Chen Nian's design has saved China at least 10 years of time, but due to material problems, it had to be delayed for several years.

Sure enough, the development of science and technology is consistent with the bucket theory. Even if there is only one shortcoming in a complex application technology, the entire system will not be able to move forward.

"Then let's do the wind tunnel verification first...but the subsequent problems must also be solved."

"We have to find ways to get more funds and build a team."

"If Chen Nian can solve macro and overall problems, then we have to solve the 'implementation' problem."

"You can't expect him to do everything, right?"

Lei Gang noticed Chen Guo's slightly disappointed expression, so he continued to comfort him:

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so there’s no need to be greedy.”

Chen Guo shook her head and replied:

"I'm not greedy, on the contrary, I feel ashamed."

"Our basic technology is really too weak. We are sorry for Chen Nian's design this time, but what about next time?"

"Not just in the future, but in fact, this kind of thing has happened many times in the past."

"Perhaps, many talents have been buried by us."

"Thinking of this, I feel... ugh."

Lei Gang nodded silently.

In fact, why couldn't he understand Chen Guo's thoughts?

Even for himself, several studies have been shelved due to insufficient infrastructure and insufficient resources.

"What you say makes sense, but this is not a problem we can solve... Everyone has their own jobs, and what we can do is do a good job at what we are doing."

"Okay, don't be sad about the spring and autumn. Let's arrange the next work plan."

Chen Guo nodded and said:

"The first step is to report to the superiors and get the project team together."

"As for funding...for the time being, we will apply at the level of tens of millions. The bottom line is thirty million."

"Although we can't use truly suitable materials, the existing materials are not cheap, and there are also personnel costs and platform costs."

"Thirty million is probably barely enough to spend - but after the results are achieved, it shouldn't be difficult to increase the amount."

After a pause, he continued:

"In addition, we need to get in touch with Chengdu Aircraft, and I mean get in touch with their management team."

"At this point, we can no longer afford to be self-conscious."

"We have to share these technologies, but we need to pay for them."

"They have much more funds than we do. By exchanging technology for resources, we can feed back our own projects."

"But one thing is, the money in exchange can only be used on the 'F-22' project."

"That's a good idea!"

Lei Gang looked happy. They both belonged to Shen Fei's system. In the past few years, Shen Fei had lost all face in front of Cheng Fei. Now he could finally have a chance to feel proud.

"However, if this is the case, then Chen Nian's request must be implemented properly... This project needs a strong core."

"Otherwise, it is likely to turn into a so-called 'foreign exchange earning project' in the end."

"If the money gained from the technology is used to reskin those Russian aircraft, I really can't help but do it!"

"Yes, that's what I think too...Have you thought about how to write the report?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. What's your suggestion? Should it be more exaggerated or more realistic?"

"Let's be realistic."

After Chen Guo thought for a moment, he gave his answer.

However, he didn't know that even if he reported it truthfully, it was actually an exaggeration...

.......

Two hours later, a report was sent to the office of Lin Yongming, the direct superior unit of Institute 601, the chairman of AVIC Group One.

Lin Yongming frowned at the report and couldn't help complaining to the secretary beside him:

"Xiao He, was this report sent by Lei Gang and others?"

The secretary named He Qicheng nodded quickly and replied:

"Yes, it was just sent here. It's an urgent document."

"It's strange. Lei just sent it here. There shouldn't be any problem with its credibility. Why did you come up with such a thing..."

Lin Yongming murmured to himself.

He is originally from a technical background and has high attainments in the field of aircraft design. Of course, he will not be unable to understand the report in front of him.

But it was precisely because he could understand that he was even more surprised.

The results of this report are a bit too good.

It was so good that it almost surpassed all the design plans they had come up with before.

It's as if this report really took the F-22 structural diagram and copied it!

It should be said that this was a huge surprise.

If it was Lei Gang's team or Institute 601 that produced this result, he would definitely apply for bonuses and award them honors without hesitation.

But the problem is, Lei Gang specifically stated in the report that this thing is the result of a freshman!

what's the situation?

Can a freshman come up with something like this?

Like Chen Guo, his first reaction was "spy".

But the demonstration process and principle explanation on the drawing are not something that spies can produce.

Therefore, for a moment, he was a little at a loss.

There's no way someone would use this kind of thing to pave the way for that student named Chen Nian, right?

If that's the case, it's really an exaggeration...

Lin Yongming shook his head and put down the report in his hand.

"Xiao He, help me check the latest schedule."

"I'm going to go to No. 601 and talk to Le Gang and the others in person."

"It's best to do it as soon as possible. If there are unnecessary matters, push them back first."

He Qicheng on the side nodded quickly, while Lin Yongming fell into deep thought again.

Needless to say, this stuff must be good.

However, if it is not the result of a mature research team, then he has to carefully consider the resources invested in this project.

Of course, this is not out of discrimination against "qualifications", but because he is worried, what if this is just the so-called "flash of inspiration" of a genius?

Designing a fighter jet is a complex, long-term task. If subsequent stable technical output cannot be guaranteed, it is impossible to support a project with just a flash of inspiration.

Therefore, he had to go and see it in person to confirm the feasibility of this project...
