135: Chapter 135 Wind Tunnel Test!

At Xu Hao's command, the entire Underground Research Institute began to bustle with activity once again.

Dozens of teams, working in cooperation, began the assembly of the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber.

Assembling the entire aircraft was a complex process that put the team's coordination and cooperation skills to the test.

Fortunately, the more than one thousand researchers had been working together for several months and were familiar with one another.

Furthermore, they were all researchers carefully selected from various Research Institute facilities, possessing solid professional skills. Through mutual communication, they began the assembly in an orderly fashion.

Xu Hao did not remain idle either; he personally got hands-on, completing the assembly tasks for the 6th Generation Bomber alongside the research staff.

"Everyone, be careful, especially when installing the engine; you must be cautious."

"This is the heart of the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber, there can be no negligence whatsoever!"

Xu Hao reminded them.

"Understood, Engineer Xu!"

"Rest assured, Engineer Xu. This big guy is the result of months of effort from over a thousand of us researchers; we will certainly be extremely careful."

The researchers replied with smiles.

Their faces were covered in sweat.

Their pant legs, clothes, and faces were stained with machine oil.

From head to toe, they looked grimy.

However, they had no complaints about this, working tirelessly at their tasks without a single grumble.

Seeing other teams burdened with heavy tasks, they would take the initiative to step forward and help.

You help me, and I help you.

The 6th Generation Stealth Bomber, this incomparably massive beast, was pieced together bit by bit through the efforts of the numerous researchers.

Seeing this, Xu Hao was moved beyond measure.

"These are the scientific researchers of the Dragon Kingdom. On the road to making the motherland powerful, they are forever the unsung pioneers who contribute silently!"

"The reason the Dragon Kingdom has been able to move forward step by step from the weathered, broken eras to reach the prosperous age of today is because countless predecessors carried the burden for us!"

Xu Hao thought emotionally to himself.

In these researchers, he saw the shadows of the predecessors.

Or rather, they carried the will of the predecessors!

Times may be changing, but the persistence and selfless spirit belonging to the people of the Dragon Kingdom are being passed down bit by bit from the departed predecessors to the scientific researchers of today.

"Phew..."

Seemingly fueled by the enthusiasm of the researchers, a fervent fighting spirit ignited within Xu Hao's heart.

"The 6th Generation Stealth Bomber is not the end. In the future, the Dragon Kingdom will burst forth with even more cutting-edge technological products."

"To ascend to the heavens to grasp the moon, and descend to the five oceans to catch turtles!"

"All of this will be realized one by one!"

Xu Hao thought to himself.

Possessing the [MOSS Technology System], he had every right to say these words.

"Let me be the one to light up the Dragon Kingdom's technology tree!"

Xu Hao smiled!

One week later, after the unremitting efforts of over a thousand researchers, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber was finally assembled.

At this moment, in the massive hangar of the Underground Research Institute, a colossal beast, entirely gray-black in color and filled with sci-fi aesthetics, stood on display.

The fuselage was 25 meters long, with a wingspan of 55 meters and a total wing area of 500 square meters.

The H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber adopted a tailless layout.

Its exterior was streamlined, like an elegant spacecraft, possessing a highly futuristic, sci-fi aesthetic.

It was full of avant-garde aesthetic ideas—simple, modern, and yet highly functional.

The fuselage utilized advanced composite low-visibility materials and radar-absorbing materials, capable of achieving both optical and physical stealth simultaneously.

Looking at this behemoth, the researchers standing before it could not help but feel a heavy sense of oppression, which exerted great pressure on them.

However, even so, they all felt extremely excited and happy.

"It's too beautiful. It's hard to imagine that such a piece of industrial art was actually created by our own hands."

"Appearance is justice!"

"..."

The researchers exclaimed one after another.

Professor Shen Hongcai and several other professors were also captivated by the 6th Generation Bomber.

Setting aside its powerful functions, just its domineering appearance alone was incredibly shocking.

It was so cool!

It looked as if it were an alien UFO, not an industrial product existing on Blue Star.

Xu Hao was equally excited.

Unlike the blueprints in the [MOSS Technology System], the actual object standing before him now provided an immersive shock that felt so real.

After a good while, Xu Hao slowly came back to his senses.

He said to the many researchers with a smile:

"Everyone, after one week of hard work, the assembly is finally complete."

"Next, we will move the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber to the wind tunnel laboratory to conduct an extra-long wind tunnel test!"

Xu Hao instructed.

No matter what type of fighter jet it is, before conducting formal flight experiments, it must undergo wind tunnel testing to understand the fighter jet's aerodynamic characteristics.

Wind tunnel testing is based on the principle of the relativity of motion, where a model or the actual object of an aircraft is fixed in an artificial environment on the ground, and airflow is artificially created to flow past it.

This simulates various complex flight conditions in the air to obtain experimental data.

This is the "green channel" for the research, finalization, and production of modern aircraft, missiles, rockets, and so on.

Simply put, a wind tunnel is artificially creating a "sky" on the ground.

Upon hearing Xu Hao's order, the relevant researchers transferred the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber to the wind tunnel laboratory.

This huge wind tunnel laboratory had been designed and built simultaneously when the Underground Research Institute was first constructed.

Now, it was finally being put to use.

"Engineer Xu, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber has been transferred to the wind tunnel laboratory and is ready for wind tunnel testing at any time!"

The voice of a researcher came over the walkie-talkie.

"Received!" Xu Hao replied.

Subsequently, he spoke again:

"Wind tunnel test team, pay attention. Adjust the Reynolds number, Mach number, and Prandtl number to similar criteria."

"Prepare to begin the wind tunnel simulation test!"

Xu Hao's expression became very serious.

Whether subsequent flight tests could be conducted depended on this wind tunnel test.

If the wind tunnel test was successful, flight tests in the blue sky could be conducted on another day.

After a while, the voice of the wind tunnel researcher came over the walkie-talkie again.

"All parameters have been adjusted to similar criteria, all work is ready, and we can conduct the test at any time!"

Xu Hao nodded.

"Wind tunnel test, begin!"

With a powerful roar, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's wind tunnel test began.

Wind tunnel testing is an extremely long process.

The first aircraft in the 1980s underwent as much as 100,000 hours of wind tunnel testing.

The purpose was to ensure the aircraft was safe enough.

However, Xu Hao did not want to conduct such a long test; it was too long, and there was no need.

Based on previous simulation tests, plus the individual thousands of tests of various components over the past few days.

Xu Hao directly reduced the wind tunnel test time to two days.

Because the [MOSS Technology System] gave him accurate simulation results.

As long as it was designed and built according to the drawings and data it provided, there would be no problems.

Conducting only two days of wind tunnel testing.

This was a very bold attempt, and Professor Shen Hongcai and several other professors were shocked by Xu Hao's boldness.

However, they chose to trust Xu Hao!

Thirty minutes passed, and Xu Hao pressed the walkie-talkie.

"Wind tunnel team, report the results of the first test!"

Following a burst of noise, the experimenter's voice sounded over the walkie-talkie.

"The H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber flight indices are all normal, all systems are running normally, and no faults have been found!"

His words made the researchers present breathe a sigh of relief.

A faint smile also appeared on Xu Hao's face.

"Initial success. Next, we must see the high-intensity wind tunnel test that will last for two days!"

Xu Hao said calmly.

Professor Shen Hongcai and others nodded silently.
