116: Chapter 116 The Holiday Ends, the Disappearing Signal!

Back at the hospital, Zhao Jun swapped shifts with Zhaos Mother; it was his turn to watch over him.

Just then, Ma Huaqiang sent another message.

"Zhao Jun, I just went to check. They're planning to do a map update soon. If the opportunity is right when you go back, you can take pictures of the interior of the Xu's Heavy Industry plant and send them over."

"If they're accepted, you can just wait to collect the money, kid!"

Ma Huaqiang said, full of temptation.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile and immediately replied: "Okay! I'll take them as soon as I get back!"

Subsequently, he asked one more thing: "Do the pictures just need to be rough?"

In the villa, Ma Huaqiang sneered at Zhao Jun's question.

His eyes were deep, and his fingers typed frantically.

"Rough is fine!"

"Of course, the more detailed, the better, and the higher the probability of being accepted."

"If they see that your pictures are clear and detailed, they might even give you more."

"So, you decide for yourself!"

Zhao Jun: "OK, understood!"

Ma Huaqiang turned off his phone and lit a cigarette. The smoke curled, making him look much more solemn.

He picked up another phone, pressed the button five times to enter another system, and sent a message to someone codenamed 'Night Crow': "The mouse has entered the warehouse, stand by for news!"

...

Zhao Jun accompanied his father in the hospital for two days, and Zhaos Father finally woke up.

"Although the patient has woken up and all indices are gradually returning to normal."

"However, I still suggest that the patient stay in the special ward for a period of time for rehabilitation therapy before making any further plans!"

The attending physician stood in front of the hospital bed, checked Zhaos Father's body, and then suggested.

Zhao Jun nodded, "Then we'll listen to the doctor. Let my dad stay in the special ward for a while to get fully cured."

"Sorry to trouble you, doctor and nurses!"

Zhao Jun politely thanked the attending physician and the accompanying nurses.

The doctor and nurses smiled and left the ward.

Zhao Jun and Zhaos Mother sat by the bed.

Zhao Jun said to Zhaos Father: "Dad, just rest assured and receive treatment at the hospital. Relax and get better, okay?"

He held Zhaos Father's somewhat withered palm, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

His father was getting older, and this major illness made him look much more frail.

Zhaos Father wanted to say something, but seeing the determination on his son's face, and with Zhaos Mother on the side saying nothing, he thought for a moment and nodded silently, his voice hoarse: "Okay, Dad will listen to you!"

Zhaos Father had just recovered and was not in good spirits.

Zhao Jun and his mother didn't disturb him too much and quietly left the ward, letting him rest.

"Mom, I have to go back tomorrow. From now on, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Dad!"

Sitting in the lounge of the special care ward outside, Zhao Jun sighed.

Going back this time, he didn't know when he would be able to return.

After all, the research and development task for the sixth-generation fighter jet was tight.

If it weren't for Engineer Xu's kindness and understanding, they wouldn't have been able to get such a long vacation.

"Xiao Jun, just focus on your work. I'm here at home, don't worry."

"Besides, you deposited 500,000 in the hospital card, and there's still plenty left. You don't need to worry about medical expenses anymore!"

Zhaos Mother patted the back of Zhao Jun's hand, looking at him with heartache.

Her son had finally come back, only for Zhaos Father to become critically ill.

He hadn't rested for a few days before he had to go back to work.

Zhaos Mother couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Zhao Jun nodded.

That evening, knowing that Zhao Jun was leaving early the next morning, Zhaos Mother cooked a hearty dinner herself.

The next day, amidst Zhaos Mother's reluctance, Zhao Jun drove away.

Xu's Heavy Industry.

Employees who had left for the holiday returned one after another.

Xu's Heavy Industry also returned to its usual hustle and bustle, and the entire plant resumed operations.

A few days later.

After Zhao Jun finished his shift at the Underground Research Institute, he passed by the plant area and took a few photos.

After returning to the dormitory, he saved the photos to his new phone and sent them to Ma Huaqiang.

After sending them, Zhao Jun waited quietly for a reply.

"I hope they can accept this information; that way, I can earn at least 10,000 yuan!"

Zhao Jun thought with anticipation.

The Security Department branch stationed here suddenly captured a signal.

Just as the personnel was about to track it, the signal disappeared instantly.

"Strange, is it a signal malfunction?"

This security officer scratched his head, checked it a few times, found no abnormalities, and had to give up.

...

Meanwhile, the research and development at Jiangnan Aviation Group was in full swing.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo personally served as the head of the LG-Turbofan Engine project.

He divided the scientific research personnel into two groups.

One group was responsible for the day shift, and one group was responsible for the night shift.

They worked 24 hours a day, without rest, going all out on the development of the LG-Turbofan Engine.

The researchers had no complaints about this.

They understood the importance of this engine.

If it could be built, it would be a major technological revolution for their Jiangnan Aviation.

At the same time, according to General Manager Lu Zhiguo, there was a high possibility that they would have the opportunity to participate in the research and development of this engine later, and Jiangnan Aviation might even have the opportunity to produce it on their behalf.

This was a good thing for the entire Jiangnan Aviation.

As they delved deeper into the research and gained a better understanding of the engine's performance, the shock in their hearts became even more intense.

Several researchers looked at the dozens of drawings in front of them with fascination, as if there were dozens of bunny girls standing in front of them.

"It's too shocking. This kind of design is simply ingenious!"

"A great talent, a great talent! I've never seen such a design before; it's perfect!"

"Which Old Professor in our Dragon Country designed this? If there's a chance, I must meet him in person!"

"I'm afraid only those at the Dragon Academy of Sciences in Longdu could design such an engine."

The researchers sighed continuously.

They had been deeply involved in aircraft engines for more than a decade.

Although their technology might not be the top in Dragon Country, they had seen, and even handled, many engine drawings and even physical objects.

But this was the first time they had seen an engine like the one in front of them!

Currently, several military powers on Blue Star had top-tier engines.

Russia's NK-32 engine, the F119-PW-100 equipped on the FF-35 fighter jet, and the USA's newly developed GE9X engine.

Although the GE9X engine was designed for large civil aviation, if it were applied to military fighter jets, it would undoubtedly be a terrifying existence.

However, the researchers felt that the engine they had in their hands now was not inferior to the GE9X engine at all.

It could even faintly surpass it!

It was no wonder the researchers were so excited.

"A completely different internal design; it's not only bold and innovative, but it also greatly improves thrust and operating efficiency, reducing kinetic energy loss to a minimum!"

"It's a pity that there are only part of the drawings. If there were a complete set of drawings, how great that would be!"

"Yes, if we could participate in the research and development of the entire engine, our lifelong research career would be worth it!"

They sighed.
