103: Chapter 103 The Mad Xu Hao, Fingertips Dancing!

Seeing Xu Hao's serious expression, General Manager Lu Zhiguo snorted inwardly with disdain.

What is he pretending for?

He thought to himself:

"Tsk, it's not like he's an Old Professor from the Dragon Academy of Sciences. Does he really think he can just design a technological product whenever he wants?"

"Even if an Old Professor from the Dragon Academy of Sciences were here, it would be impossible to whip up a new set of engine design blueprints in such a short amount of time."

General Manager Lu Zhiguo was somewhat annoyed with Xu Hao.

He had acted in good faith, following the official documents of the Dragon Kingdom to unconditionally and wholeheartedly provide materials for Xu's Heavy Industry.

He had invested heavily, hired research personnel at high salaries, and vigorously developed the engine.

In the end, Xu Hao directly dismissed the engine built by Jiangnan Aviation Group as poor and sub-standard?!

If it weren't for the good temper he had cultivated over years of experience in the business world, he would have started an argument with Xu Hao right then and there.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo let out a cold snort and reached into his pocket, wanting to pull out a cigarette.

But remembering he was in the research lab, he had no choice but to put it back.

Out of curiosity, he crossed his arms over his chest and walked up silently.

When he saw the sketches Xu Hao was drawing on the paper, his face showed a slight look of surprise.

"How is this possible! It really is an engine blueprint?!"

On the white paper were countless messy and complex lines.

Although they were somewhat irregular.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo was, after all, the chairman of an aviation group; his professional expertise was certainly not lacking.

So, he could tell at a single glance that this was an engine blueprint.

However, after the initial shock, he calmed down, and his brow relaxed.

"This can't be a new design scheme; perhaps it's just a minor adjustment to the existing engine design blueprints!"

General Manager Lu Zhiguo speculated in his heart.

An engine is a complex and profound module. Never mind designing a scheme on the spot; even drawing one based on an existing engine is incredibly difficult.

Xu Hao designing one on the spot?

It was simply a fantasy!

However, he did not speak up to disturb Xu Hao.

Instead, he sat quietly to the side, waiting, wanting to see what kind of results Xu Hao would actually produce.

Since he said the engine built by Jiangnan Aviation Group was sub-standard.

Today, he was going to make Xu Hao give him an explanation.

Otherwise, he would have to report this to the authorities in Longdu.

He couldn't just swallow this insult!

Xu Hao had no idea what General Manager Lu Zhiguo was thinking; his entire mind was currently focused on the design blueprints for the Turbofan engine.

His mind had long since been instilled with the complete set of 6th Generation Stealth Bomber design blueprints and theoretical knowledge by the [MOSS Technology System].

Among them was the upgraded Turbofan engine.

"To improve the performance of a Turbofan engine, the most important point is to increase the bypass ratio."

Xu Hao's brain was working at a frantic pace.

"The higher the bypass ratio, the less fuel the Turbofan engine consumes, while the thrust does not decrease, and the noise during operation is also much lower."

"At the same time, the bypass thrust of a Turbofan engine comes entirely from the thrust generated by the fan. This means the quality of the fan will directly affect the engine's performance."

"Higher RPM, high mechanical strength, longer blades, and lighter weight—these are the basic elements required for fan blades."

"Wide-chord, snubberless hollow sandwich structure blades! Undoubtedly the best choice!"

"Wide-chord, snubberless hollow sandwich structure blades mainly consist of the pressure side, suction side, and the core."

"The pressure and suction sides are respectively made of two thin Titanium alloy sheets, and between the two sheets is a 'core' also made of Titanium alloy with a honeycomb structure. The pressure side, suction side, and core are joined into a single unit using the active diffusion bonding method."

"The new blades achieve immense strength with extremely light weight. Such a 'Titanium alloy sandwich' effectively solves various blade problems!"

Xu Hao's brain was like a gear coated in engine oil, spinning frantically under the drive of a motor.

And the pencil in his hand was also jumping wildly across the white paper, like a dancing elf, incredibly pleasing to the eye!

Time passed minute by minute. The other researchers in the Research Institute had already left, leaving only Xu Hao, Wang Qian, and General Manager Lu Zhiguo.

Except for the scratching sound of Xu Hao's pen tip, the Research Institute was incredibly quiet.

...

On the other side.

Following the location address sent by his high school classmate, Zhao Jun found a KTV named 'Heaven on Earth'.

It was originally supposed to be in the evening, but several old classmates had to work the night shift, so it was changed to noon.

Zhao Jun followed the corridor and found Private Room 506.

Opening the door, several old classmates were already sitting inside.

The moment they saw Zhao Jun, these old classmates stood up one after another to greet him.

After a round of pleasantries, they all sat down, some singing and others drinking.

Meeting again after a long time, Zhao Jun chatted about daily life with several classmates he had been close with in high school.

"Zhao Jun, where are you working now? You look like you're doing pretty well!"

Luo Ze took a puff of a cigarette, slowly exhaled, and asked with a smile.

He had a buzz cut with two lines shaved into the hair near his ears, looking somewhat like a local hoodlum.

He was currently a bartender at a nightclub; his salary wasn't high, but it wasn't bad either.

Seeing Zhao Jun dressed respectably, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Oh, it's nothing much, just working at a government unit, just earning a living!"

Zhao Jun took a sip of beer and waved his hand dismissively.

"Not bad, Zhao Jun!" Tian Bin looked at Zhao Jun with a surprised face.

"Back in high school, you had the best grades. Now it seems you're doing the best, eating from the imperial granary—that's quite something!"

The other classmates also nodded, their faces showing surprise, envy, or a hint of jealousy.

Ma Huaqiang, sitting in the corner, had a slight flicker in his eyes upon hearing Zhao Jun's words.

Jiang Qingqiu, sitting to the side, gave Zhao Jun a peculiar look and pursed her red lips as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

"You guys are doing alright too! Like Tian Bin, you've become a boss, making a name for yourself."

"And Ma Huaqiang, with the way you're dressed, you look like someone who's made big money."

Zhao Jun looked at Ma Huaqiang sitting in the corner and complimented him.

"By the way, Huaqiang, where are you working now?"

Zhao Jun asked Ma Huaqiang.

Ma Huaqiang was not tall, nor was he strong.

His appearance was unremarkable, and he didn't attract attention sitting there.

If Zhao Jun hadn't been observing closely, he almost wouldn't have noticed him.

"Following a boss, doing some overseas business, it's exhausting!"

Ma Huaqiang shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face.

Then, he picked up his glass and clinked it with Zhao Jun's.

After finishing a glass, Zhao Jun filled up every classmate's glass.

Then he raised his glass and stood up.

"Classmates, it's been a long time. Come! Let's have a toast!"

Zhao Jun shouted loudly.

Hearing this, everyone stood up and toasted each other.

The group hung out from noon until evening.

It wasn't until Luo Ze spoke up, saying he had to go to work, that the group felt they hadn't had enough.

Many classmates didn't have each other's contact information.

Taking this opportunity, everyone added each other's new contact info.

Then they promised to meet again next time and went their separate ways.
