118: Chapter 118: He held back a trick!

Xu Hao's attention was entirely focused on the LG-Turbofan Engine before him.

He was naturally unaware of what these researchers were thinking.

However, even if he did know, Xu Hao wouldn't care.

Looking at the semi-finished LG-Turbofan Engine before him, Xu Hao nodded slightly.

"Not bad."

Xu Hao praised softly.

Compared to the engine that Jiangnan Aviation had independently developed and built, this one was much better.

Just looking at the exterior craftsmanship, it was clearly much more refined.

It was evident that they had polished it with great care.

Upon hearing this, General Manager Lu Zhiguo's face instantly lit up with joy.

When the researchers heard Xu Hao's praise, they curled their lips, looking somewhat disdainful.

They mocked in their hearts: "Do we need your praise? This is the result of a month of hard work by us old fogies; of course it's good!"

Xu Hao put on dust-proof and anti-static gloves and stroked the LG-Turbofan Engine to examine more of its details.

"Hmm, you've built the low-pressure turbine very well here; it can capture the maximum amount of energy from the gas."

"The nozzle could be extended just a little bit more."

"Wait, is this your innovative design? Adding another rotor to the basis of a dual-rotor to form a triple-rotor structure."

"This way, the fan, high-pressure compressor, and low-pressure compressor each form their own rotor, and each has its own rotational speed."

"In this way, the fan and low-pressure rotor don't have to compromise with each other, but can each operate at their most optimal rotational speed."

"Subsequent designs for engine fan speed, fan diameter, and bypass ratio will all be much freer."

Seeing this new design, Xu Hao's eyes brightened slightly, and he praised it without reservation.

Schematic design is not about following steps or remaining rigid.

In the actual design process, there are often flashes of inspiration for positive designs.

Clearly, this new design added by Jiangnan Aviation was one such case.

Xu Hao highly commended this kind of bold and proactive design.

This also deepened his impression of Jiangnan Aviation significantly.

They certainly had the strength.

These words from Xu Hao, falling into the ears of these researchers, surprised them somewhat.

They, who had been a bit drowsy, now all lifted their heads and stared blankly at Xu Hao.

They exchanged glances, and a question emerged in their hearts: "Are inspectors these days this professional?"

Before their doubts could linger, Xu Hao continued to inspect the LG-Turbofan Engine, then spoke about the pros and cons of the internal structural design.

"Your triple-rotor design is a good idea. But at the same time, it has caused the internal structure to become more complex."

"And, look!"

Xu Hao pointed at the rotor structure inside.

Upon hearing this, not only did General Manager Lu Zhiguo lean in to look, but even the few researchers standing behind couldn't help but walk over to see what was going on.

Xu Hao continued: "Although you added a rotor, you neglected the strength of the coaxial rotor."

"The low-pressure compressor, intermediate-pressure compressor, and high-pressure compressor, from inside to outside, are arranged in an orderly fashion, just like an arithmetic progression."

"Since you added a rotor, you must strengthen the hardness and strength of the coaxial rotor to allow it to support the rotation of the three air compressors."

"At the same time..."

Xu Hao dissected it bit by bit, answering for General Manager Lu Zhiguo and the researchers present.

Listening and listening, the researchers became completely enthralled.

By the time Xu Hao finished speaking, they were completely shocked!

"Is... is this an inspector?"

"Which company's inspector could be this professional!"

The researchers thought in astonishment.

All kinds of professional knowledge were at his fingertips; he spoke with ease and eloquence.

Moreover, he was extremely familiar with the structure of the engine, almost as if he had designed it himself.

With such solid professional knowledge and technical skills, if someone said he was a researcher, they would believe it.

Thinking of this, their impression of Xu Hao changed slightly.

Regardless, just based on his professional level, he was already very impressive.

In any case, among the many inspectors they had met, the one before them was likely the most professional.

The researchers' eyes flickered, they nodded slightly, and one spoke up: "That's right, the points you just mentioned were indeed somewhat neglected during our R&D process."

The researchers admitted.

After all, time was tight and the task was heavy.

Although they chose to add many innovative designs, there was no extra time left for them to verify them.

So, this led to these oversights.

Xu Hao smiled, "But there is no doubt that."

"The innovative design you added, although the bearing fulcrums are almost twice as many as in a dual-rotor structure engine, and the support structure is more complex."

"But at the same time, what you gain in exchange is the simplification of the fan, compressor, and turbine."

"This point is definitely worth affirming."

"As for whether it can be utilized subsequently, we can discuss it further!"

Xu Hao said.

When every new design appears, it cannot be judged simply as good or bad.

It needs to be verified from all aspects and undergo multiple rounds of testing to obtain the most comprehensive results.

After this topic ended, Xu Hao signaled for General Manager Lu Zhiguo to bring over the design blueprints.

Upon seeing this, General Manager Lu Zhiguo hurriedly took the dozens of design blueprints drawn by Xu Hao from the cabinet and handed them to him.

Xu Hao picked out a few of them and said with a smile that carried a hint of profound meaning: "Actually, when I originally designed this, I intentionally left a few incorrect design points."

"But what is gratifying is that when I looked at the engine just now, I found that you have all corrected these minor error points."

"And, you have all perfected them. You did very well on this point!"

Xu Hao looked at General Manager Lu Zhiguo, then at the researchers, giving them affirmation.

Hearing this, General Manager Lu Zhiguo was already very delighted.

Looking at it now, Engineer Xu seemed very satisfied with the engine they had built.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo also gained a bit more confidence regarding the cooperation.

When the researchers heard Xu Hao's words, they also nodded happily.

During R&D, they had also noticed these few errors.

At first, they thought it was some novel design.

But after multiple attempts, they discovered that these places were likely incorrect.

So, they boldly followed their own methods and corrected them.

They didn't expect that it was actually a design error.

"Haha, these few errors were actually hidden very well." One of the researchers laughed and said.

Then, he suddenly seemed to realize something.

The smile on his face suddenly froze, and then he stared blankly at Xu Hao, shocked in his heart: "You... when you designed it?"

"This engine design blueprint was designed by you?"

This researcher swallowed, looking at Xu Hao with a face full of shock.

The other researchers also realized it at this moment.

They all looked at Xu Hao in unison, with expressions of disbelief.

"How is this possible?!"

"Such an awesome engine was actually designed by such a young man?"

Their hearts trembled, as if they had heard something incredible.
