Chapter 13: A Big Surprise for the Whole World! Do You Even Deserve to Be a Dog? (Please keep reading, please collect!)

Only the data displayed on the large screen's PPT could be seen.

The F22-like model had transformed into a brand new J-20 design sketch.

Not only did it utilize a canard aerodynamic layout, but the materials used for the canards and other parts were also highlighted.

[New Type Ultra-High Strength Carbon Fiber Composite Material]

Xu Qing was overjoyed: “High-strength carbon fiber composite material?? They’ve even developed this!”

For the entire engine and fuel system project team, the most significant underlying concern, besides the outdated AL-31F turbofan engine, was composite materials.

Why had the lift coefficient not improved previously? Besides the poor engine performance, even the composite materials used in various critical parts were subpar.

They could only use materials like titanium alloys, which were much heavier for the same volume, further increasing the weight and making it even harder to achieve the target lift.

“Old Song, this is no laughing matter!” Xu Qing stared intently at Song Qinyi, asking nervously, “This high-strength carbon fiber composite material... what is its strength?”

They had previously calculated that if the carbon fiber composite material met the strength requirements, its use in the J-20 would reduce the mass of metal structures by 31.5%, decrease the mass of parts by 61.5%, and reduce the mass of fasteners by 61.3%; the composite material vertical stabilizer could reduce mass by 32.24%!

In other words, how much weight could a J-20 with a 17-ton empty weight reduce by using about 30% carbon fiber composite material?

Not only could the lift coefficient meet the standard, but the cruising range and bomb load could also see a significant increase. How immense was this significance?

“Don’t worry, its tensile strength is expected to be 5.5 GPa, with an elastic modulus of 295 GPa,” Song Qinyi decisively reported a set of data, then concluded, “Its comprehensive performance can rival Toray’s T800 strength-grade carbon fiber composite material.”

Upon hearing this.

“5.5 GPa tensile strength?? That’s enough, more than enough!” Xu Qing stood stunned in place, muttering to himself.

This was a carbon fiber composite material with the strength specifications of T800, which would be perfectly fine even if used in the J-20.

One of his two major concerns was suddenly resolved just like that. Xu Qing even felt as if he was dreaming at this moment.

Who said that without Neon Toray’s high-strength composite carbon fiber, Da Xia would never be able to build a fifth-generation stealth fighter?

Now, they had done it!

However, before Xu Qing could deliver his heartfelt remarks.

“Next, let’s look at the next technology.” Song Qinyi seemed to give him no room for thought, and a completely new image appeared.

“Hiss... There’s still new technology??” Everyone gasped.

What kind of day was today? Surprises came one after another; no wonder they heard magpies chirping outside when they left earlier.

A set of data was listed on the PPT on the screen.

[High Thrust-to-Weight Ratio Two-Dimensional Vector Turbofan Engine Technology.]

[Maximum (Military) Thrust: 116KN.] (≈ 11.8 tons)

[Afterburner Thrust: 156KN.] (≈ 15.9 tons)

[Thrust-to-weight ratio: 9.2.]

Instantly, the entire conference room fell silent.

Could this even be developed? Were they not dreaming?

Moreover, looking at these data, everyone felt increasingly strange, even increasingly familiar.

A two-dimensional vector engine with an afterburner thrust of 156KN? Even the military thrust reached 116KN!?

This data, how was it so similar to the F119 engine on the F22? Even the thrust-to-weight ratio data was identical!

However, these surprises and shocks were just the beginning.

[Nano Stealth Coating Technology]

[Avionics Integrated Core Processor Platform Technology.]

[Avionics Flight Control Technology.]

One technology after another was displayed on the PPT.

In this scene, several project leaders couldn't help but murmur: ‘First it was the F22’s aerodynamic layout, now it’s the F22’s engine... second-generation stealth coating technology...’

‘Did this BYD Old Song rob the Eagle Kingdom?’

The data for each of these technologies was world-leading, and the most outrageous part was that all these technologies were benchmarked against the F22?

“This data, this data... afterburner thrust 156KN, hahahaha!” Xu Qing stood in place, trembling slightly, and began to laugh heartily!

In such an important occasion, Song Qinyi would absolutely not joke with him.

This also meant that the technologies presented in these data were absolutely real and effective.

Although he did not know where these technologies came from, or how Song Qinyi obtained these engine technologies that perfectly matched the F119 on the F22 in terms of data.

But he didn't care; he only knew that the J-20’s engine was finally settled.

They finally no longer needed to use the grandfather-generation AL-31F engine, which was an engine from the early 1970s and severely held back the J-20.

The mood of all project leaders present was the same, despite some slight doubts.

But did it matter? It was completely irrelevant!

Possessing these technologies meant that the J-20’s stealth performance, maneuverability, speed, and all other aspects would see a significant improvement. Knowing this alone was enough for them.

“Everyone... with these new technologies, do you have the confidence to conduct the maiden flight of the demonstrator within half a year?” Song Qinyi gazed at everyone, asking a question with a smile.

“And test fly the prototype within one year.”

Maiden flight of the demonstrator in half a year??

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing slammed the table and stood up: “Old Song, as long as these technologies can be submitted, let alone within half a year.”

“Give me four months, four months is enough to build the first dual-engine demonstrator.” His eyes revealed a resolute determination.

Immediately, echoes of agreement filled the entire conference room.

With the support of these heaven-defying technologies, their research and development progress would be drastically accelerated, and four months was not too difficult.

Even with an optimistic estimate, by this time next year, the J-20 might even enter the mass production and finalization stage.

Upon hearing this.

“Good, I’ll give you four months.” Song Qinyi nodded.

Four months was just right; by then, that important day would be approaching.

They would strive to give the whole world a big surprise at that time!

Two days later.

Across the ocean, outside the LLNL National Laboratory.

Lu Ze was looking at the surrounding environment with great interest, admiring the lush scenery in the distance.

The laboratory was located in the Bay Area, and next to it was the world-renowned Silicon Valley, where the headquarters of tech giants including Intel, Google, and Apple were all located in that small valley nearby.

This was also the 'Bay Area' that people like Li Yijie yearned for and constantly dreamed of working in.

Yet, despite Li Yijie’s utmost efforts to participate in Duke University’s ‘social gatherings’ and integrate into their so-called group, he never had a chance to come here.

And Lu Ze, the isolated one, was deliberately transferred to this national-level laboratory.

However, regarding this, he could only express good riddance.

No matter how much these people fawned over the Eagle Kingdom, others wouldn’t even give them a proper look, probably only saying to him: Do you even deserve to be a dog?

However.

Lu Ze, standing at the main entrance, was currently pondering another question.

“Upon entering the laboratory, what should I prioritize replicating?”

The LLNL National Laboratory had many good things, and he was a bit spoiled for choice.

Although those high-level technological items were very tempting, replicating them would surely yield many achievement points later.

But Lu Ze’s heart couldn’t help but want to give Neon a shot, turning it directly into a three-dimensional entity.

Who made him kind-hearted? He couldn't let people be addicted to two-dimensional things!
