109: Chapter 109 Deep Cooperation? Let's Roll Up Our Sleeves and Get to Work!

The fourth day.

Xu Hao finally finished teaching the relevant technology and knowledge of the LG-Turbofan Engine to General Manager Lu Zhiguo.

"Engineer Xu, thank you very much for your explanations over the past few days!"

General Manager Lu Zhiguo closed his notebook, shook hands with Xu Hao, and said gratefully.

During the few days Xu Hao stayed at Jiangnan Aviation,

he had not only developed the superior LG-Turbofan Engine for him but also shared everything he knew, meticulously explaining the engine's structure and technical knowledge.

This allowed him to go from a lack of understanding at the start to having a complete grasp of the engine now.

Xu Hao smiled and waved his hand. "It's all for the national project!"

Xu Hao hadn't originally intended to provide this LG-Turbofan Engine to General Manager Lu Zhiguo during this trip.

However,

the technology and performance of their self-developed engines were simply too backward, failing to even match the engine models from the Xu's Heavy Industry Underground Research Institute.

He had no choice but to resort to this backup plan, reluctantly giving part of the design for the LG-Turbofan Engine to General Manager Lu Zhiguo.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, General Manager Lu Zhiguo nodded in deep agreement.

"It is truly the honor of the Dragon Kingdom to have talents like Engineer Xu, who possess both the technology and a heart for the country!"

This wasn't just empty praise from General Manager Lu Zhiguo.

The achievements of Xu's Heavy Industry over the past few months were obvious to all.

They had equipped the country with the A-225 Military Transport Aircraft.

They also took the initiative to cooperate with Tangs Heavy Industry to upgrade and iterate the large-scale agricultural machinery on the market.

Not only was the performance greatly improved, but the prices were also significantly reduced.

This allowed many farmers in remote mountainous areas to enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought by technology.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo now truly admired Xu Hao from the bottom of his heart,

both for his technical skills and his character!

It happened to be noon, so General Manager Lu Zhiguo insisted on keeping Xu Hao and his companion for a simple meal at Jiangnan Aviation Group.

Since they had been in the research lab for the past few days, he hadn't had a chance to properly host Xu Hao.

Taking advantage of finally completing the 'teaching' task, General Manager Lu Zhiguo intended to properly thank Xu Hao.

Furthermore, he had another matter he wanted to discuss with Xu Hao.

Instead of going to an outside restaurant, General Manager Lu Zhiguo took the two of them directly to the Jiangnan Aviation cafeteria.

Entering a luxurious private room, General Manager Lu Zhiguo specifically asked the head chef to cook over a dozen signature dishes.

For the past few days, everyone had been eating simple meals.

Now, with a rare feast laid out, everyone ate happily and was quite full.

After the meal, the three of them chatted at the table.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo's expression shifted slightly.

"Engineer Xu, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if it's convenient?"

General Manager Lu Zhiguo asked.

"Please, go ahead, General Manager Lu!"

Xu Hao took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Engineer Xu, the performance of the LG-Turbofan Engine you designed is obvious to everyone."

"At the same time, as you've seen, although Jiangnan Aviation has invested heavily, we suffer from a lack of talent and long R&D cycles. We haven't made any progress in high-end aero-engine research in recent years."

"Therefore, I would like to establish a deep cooperation with Xu's Heavy Industry to jointly exchange engine-related technologies."

"Of course, rest assured that all patent results of the core technology will belong entirely to Xu's Heavy Industry."

"In other words, Jiangnan Aviation would participate in R&D on one hand and serve as an OEM factory for Xu's Heavy Industry on the other."

"What do you think?"

General Manager Lu Zhiguo looked at Xu Hao with expectation.

The LG-Turbofan Engine had allowed him to see Xu's Heavy Industry's potential.

No! Rather, it was Xu Hao's true strength!

If such a high-performance LG-Turbofan Engine were to be mass-produced,

saying it would be world-class might be a bit of an exaggeration.

But in the Dragon Kingdom, it would absolutely be a unique existence.

In fact, except for a certain engine from the USA that equips some of their fighter jets, the LG-Turbofan Engine is not inferior to any other engine.

He hoped for deep cooperation with Xu Hao to jointly participate in the construction and R&D of the LG-Turbofan Engine.

After hearing General Manager Lu Zhiguo's words, Xu Hao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He stroked his chin, pondering the pros and cons.

It was true.

Xu's Heavy Industry had expanded its factory area and upgraded its facilities, now boasting a total of three thousand employees.

Moreover, there were various high-end technological products within the factory.

Besides the A-225 Transport Aircraft delivered to the military,

he also had the Doomsday Vehicle, Powered Exoskeleton Mecha, and the Surreal Large-scale Mecha sent to Longdu!

And now, there was the LG-Turbofan Engine!

If the true performance of all these technological products were revealed, they would shock the entire nation, and even the world.

Not only that.

Possessing the MOSS Technology System, he would design and build even more cutting-edge technological products in the future.

"However..."

Xu Hao thought to himself.

"Future technology blueprints aren't hard to come by; the difficulty lies in mass production after the design is finished."

He could easily accumulate exchange points to redeem these blueprints.

At the same time,

the MOSS Technology System would occasionally trigger random missions that rewarded him with technological blueprints.

So, obtaining blueprints was relatively easy.

The hard part was the subsequent physical design, construction, testing, and mass production.

These were his main concerns.

"Of course, Xu's Heavy Industry could build them independently, but..."

Xu Hao pondered.

After all, one person's energy is limited.

A factory's capacity also has an upper limit.

Moreover, most of the three thousand plus employees at Xu's Heavy Industry were only workers with general skills.

Less than ten percent were truly high-level technical personnel.

This resulted in a situation where,

even if Xu Hao wanted to teach the core technology, many people couldn't understand it.

It was impossible to teach them.

Under such circumstances, if there were another factory that could produce on their behalf,

manufacturing some of the key components for assembly,

it would save a lot of energy and time.

Furthermore, there would be no need to worry about the efficiency of mass production.

Xu Hao's eyes lit up slightly; he suddenly had some ideas regarding General Manager Lu Zhiguo's proposal.

However, he was in no hurry to reply immediately and instead said:

"General Manager Lu, this matter is of great importance and involves many factors. I still need to consider it carefully!"

Putting aside production issues, even General Manager Lu Zhiguo's background and identity would need a strict investigation by the higher-ups before Xu Hao would dare take the next step.

After all,

his technological products were all vital national treasures!

If he were careless and they were leaked by someone with ill intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if he agreed to cooperate with General Manager Lu Zhiguo, he would still need the approval of those above him.

"Alright! No problem. This matter was indeed brought up too hastily. It's only right that President Xu has some concerns."

General Manager Lu Zhiguo replied with a smile, not taking offense.

Being cautious was good. Xu's Heavy Industry was not what it used to be; it now possessed too many key technologies.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo could understand that.

"If General Manager Lu truly wishes to cooperate, I suggest you communicate with the higher-ups."

"At the same time, I will also exchange opinions with the authorities in Longdu."

Xu Hao spoke and then added:

"Of course, the most important point is that I hope General Manager Lu can design and build part of the LG-Turbofan Engine's structure as soon as possible, and then send it to Xu's Heavy Industry for assembly and testing to see if it matches."

Hearing this, General Manager Lu Zhiguo's expression shifted as if he understood something.

"Rest assured, we will definitely deliver on time!"

General Manager Lu Zhiguo guessed

that Xu Hao intended to see Jiangnan Aviation's true strength before making a decision.

In that case, they had to roll up their sleeves and work hard to show Engineer Xu what Jiangnan Aviation was truly capable of.

After seeing Xu Hao and his companion off, General Manager Lu Zhiguo returned to the company and immediately convened a seminar for all the core scientific research personnel.

Subsequently, they threw themselves into the R&D and construction of the LG-Turbofan Engine.

Jiangnan Aviation had to create the most perfect LG-Turbofan Engine.

Then, they would deliver it to Xu's Heavy Industry to give Xu Hao a fresh perspective on Jiangnan Aviation.

After all, General Manager Lu Zhiguo really wanted to cooperate with Xu's Heavy Industry!
