51: First test of an anti-gravity plasma engine!

The moment Lin Chen made his choice.

A large number of design blueprints for the 7th-generation aerospace fighter jet.

Performance parameters and manufacturing processes!

Flooded into his mind like a tide.

The entire set of technical data was incredibly detailed.

Even down to the material formula for every screw.

And brand new stealth material formulas!

Beyond Visual Range 3D Visible Radar!

Ultra-advanced AI piloting.

New weapon payload technical solutions.

Terrifying speed and payload capacity!

"This aerospace fighter jet is going to defy the heavens!"

Lin Chen was deeply shocked after receiving all the technology.

According to the parameters of the 7th-generation aerospace fighter jet.

It would be a dimensionality reduction strike against all current fighter jets on Blue Star.

With this technical data.

This aerospace fighter jet's various indicators surpassed imagination.

Not only did it possess the ability to cruise in space for extended periods.

Within the atmosphere, it was an invincible existence.

More crucially, this fighter jet could perfectly adapt to the Anti-gravity Plasma Engine.

Unleashing the engine's performance to its fullest.

"Now, the Air Force of the Great Xia Country is truly about to take flight!"

Lin Chen's eyes gleamed with fervent light.

He seemed to already see 7th-generation aerospace fighter jets streaking across the sky.

Becoming the most dazzling existence above Blue Star.

After digesting the 7th-generation aerospace fighter jet technology.

Lin Chen couldn't wait to start working in the Inheritance Space laboratory... Half a month later.

Xia Academy of Sciences Aviation Laboratory.

A silver-white Anti-gravity Plasma Engine sat in the center, its streamlined casing gleaming coldly.

Its appearance alone was full of sci-fi flair.

It was fundamentally different from traditional aero-engines.

Li Jianguo, wearing reading glasses, walked around the engine three times, not daring to touch it.

His eyes were filled with excitement, his voice trembling:

"This is the Anti-gravity Plasma Engine?"

"It's actually been built?"

He hadn't expected a brand new engine.

To go from design to prototype assembly in less than two months.

This speed was simply outrageous!

When they were developing turbofan engines back then.

It took them over three years, and they only managed to create a preliminary prototype.

Now, this Anti-gravity Plasma Engine.

Only took a little over a month!

And it involved anti-gravity technology, a world-unsolved problem.

It was simply a miracle in the field of aviation.

Lin Chen stood beside him, nodding:

"Old Li, the engine is fully assembled."

"Now, we just wait for the test."

The Academicians and Engineers around them all showed irrepressible excitement.

Their gazes were fixed on the silver-white Anti-gravity Plasma Engine.

Someone couldn't help but whisper:

"I can't believe we actually built a groundbreaking aero-engine within a month!"

"Indeed! Who would have thought such a miracle would happen right here among us?"

"It's all because of Chief Designer Lin; he led us to accomplish this epoch-making feat!"

"Exactly! Without Chief Designer Lin, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today."

In the laboratory, everyone looked at Lin Chen with admiration.

Through more than a month of working together.

They had learned too much useful technical knowledge from Lin Chen.

Many people's scientific research capabilities had significantly improved during this period.

Lin Chen quietly watched the excited expressions of the crowd.

"Xiao Lin, let's start the test and see what the specific parameters are like!"

Li Jianguo walked over to Lin Chen, his voice filled with excitement.

Lin Chen nodded and began to instruct:

"Proceed with the final inspection immediately!"

"Once confirmed correct, begin the test!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The Engineers, who were still excited moments ago.

Immediately entered work mode.

10 minutes later.

"Chief Designer Lin, inspection complete, no omissions!"

"Good!" Lin Chen nodded, "Then let's begin the test!"

"First, test the thrust!"

"Target: Simulate 50 tons of thrust."

"What?" Li Jianguo was directly shocked, "Xiao Lin, directly test 50 tons of thrust?"

Other Engineers were also shocked.

To start, they would directly test a 50-ton load.

Anyone familiar with aero-engines would know.

Eagle Country's most advanced XN-100 engine.

Had a maximum thrust of only 220 kilonewtons, about 22 tons.

This was an instant doubling.

Was this going to defy the heavens?

Lin Chen smiled, full of confidence, "This is just the beginning; you'll know once it's tested!"

"Good!" Li Jianguo calmed his excited mood, "According to Chief Designer Lin's request, begin the test!"

The Engineers immediately sprang into action.

After setting the simulated thrust.

They pressed the engine start button.

The indicator lights on the engine casing lit up sequentially, emitting a faint hum.

The entire engine startup process was unusually quiet.

Yet it contained a sense of power poised to erupt.

As all indicator lights turned green.

"Thrust simulation initiated, three, two, one, start!"

As the countdown ended.

Almost at the same instant.

The entire laboratory seemed to be shaken by a tremendous force.

Everyone could feel the slight tremor of the ground beneath their feet.

"Thrust data uploading, real-time monitoring..."

The thrust data on the screen began to jump:

100 kilonewtons!

500 kilonewtons!

1000 kilonewtons!

It instantly soared to 2000 kilonewtons!

Then completely stabilized.

Why didn't it increase?

Because it had reached the limit of the testing equipment.

Seeing the data displayed on the screen.

Li Jianguo and those Engineers were all dumbfounded by the shock.

Eagle Country's most advanced engine had a thrust of only 220 kilonewtons!

Now, the Anti-gravity Plasma Engine achieved a terrifying 2000 kilonewtons in its initial test!

And that wasn't even its limit.

Terrifying indeed!

Li Jianguo stared at the data, suddenly snapped back to reality, and urgently shouted for it to stop!

"Quick, stop it!"

"The thrust has exceeded the instrument's testing range; the instrument can't handle it anymore."

The Engineers came to their senses.

And quickly shut down the engine.

The surrounding Engineers instantly erupted!

"My heavens! 10 times the thrust on the first test!"

"This is too terrifying!"

"From now on, our fighter jets will be able to cruise supersonically at will, won't they?"

"This is still the limit of our testing equipment, not the engine's limit!"

All the Engineers were deeply shocked by the test data of 2000 kilonewtons.

Crucially, this engine only weighed 1 ton.

Which showed how terrifying its ultimate thrust-to-weight ratio was.

Whether it was a large aircraft or a fighter jet, it could easily break through to supersonic flight.

Li Jianguo came to Lin Chen's side and exclaimed, "Xiao Lin, it seems our testing equipment can no longer meet the demands of this engine!"

Lin Chen nodded, "It's fine! We can just install it directly onto an aircraft for testing then!"

"Next, let's continue testing its service life!"

"Target: Continuous simulated operation for 10,000 hours!"

"Good!" Li Jianguo no longer questioned it this time.

The simulated service life test began.

Time passed minute by minute.

The operating time on the screen continuously increased:

100 hours!

500 hours!

1000 hours!

5000 hours!

10000 hours!

All parameters of the engine remained stable, without any degradation.

Li Jianguo looked at the data, so excited that his eyes turned red:

"10,000 hours, and zero degradation?"

"Eagle Country's F-135 only has a lifespan of 2000 hours!"

"Ours has already reached 10,000 hours, and it's still like new!"

"If pushed to its limit, it's probably 50 times theirs!"

The surrounding Engineers were all moved to tears.

Lin Chen walked over and patted Li Jianguo's shoulder:

"Old Li, it's not over yet."

"Activate anti-gravity mode!"

Instantly.

All the Engineers were once again filled with anticipation.

This was the most crucial part.

Anti-gravity!

Whoever could break through this technology.

Would become the Eighth Wonder of Blue Star!

The Engineer pressed another button.

A pale blue light suddenly illuminated the bottom of the engine.

The entire engine slowly ascended.

Hovering one meter above the ground, perfectly still.

Li Jianguo looked at the floating engine, and tears suddenly streamed down his old face:

"It's done! It's really done!"

"We have our own advanced engine!"

"From now on, we won't have to rely on others anymore!"

The surrounding Engineers also applauded.

Some even jumped up in excitement.

After the excitement subsided.

Li Jianguo held the final data and said to Lin Chen:

"Xiao Lin, you've once again rendered great service to our Great Xia!"

"I'll go report to the Great Chief right away!"

"Let them also be happy!"
