58: Finally, the danger was overcome

Xu Ning couldn't help but applaud. Although this was only a J-7E, he felt as if he saw the shadow of the J-20 and heard the call of the future.

Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred.

The J-7E vibrated violently at high altitude, causing everyone to stand up nervously.

"What's going on?" Xu Ning asked urgently.

"I... I'm not sure..." Zhang Jianlong also panicked, unable to speak.

The J-7E turned its body and fell downwards, making everyone's hearts clench.

The plane descended rapidly, looking like it was about to crash.

Just a few thousand meters from the ground, the J-7E's vibration miraculously stopped.

Under Wang Zhendong's control, the plane slowly ascended, ultimately averting the danger.

Zhang Jianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a water cup to drink some water to calm his nerves.

His gaze kept drifting towards Xu Ning.

Seeing that he was completely focused on the plane, he quietly relaxed.

The J-7E slowly flew back from a distance, preparing to land.

After the plane came to a stop, Xu Ning immediately stepped forward and extended his hand to Wang Zhendong, who had just gotten off the plane.

"Xu Ning, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Facing this young man, Wang Zhendong was stunned. He turned and looked at Zhang Jianlong next to him with a questioning gaze.

"Oh, forgive my rudeness. He is our top test pilot, Wang Zhendong."

"And this is Chairman Xu of Shanhai Industry, the Boss of the group that is taking over our company."

Zhang Jianlong quickly introduced.

As soon as this was said, the executives who hadn't gone to greet them and Wang Zhendong were all surprised.

They found it hard to believe that such a young person was the Boss of Shanhai Industry.

Wang Zhendong was the first to recover and quickly shook hands in response.

"Wang Zhendong."

Although the other party's words were brief, Xu Ning didn't mind. He could feel the respect from Wang Zhendong's expression.

He felt that Wang Zhendong might be a man of few words, focused on his own field.

Only such a person could rely on skill to turn the situation around in a critical moment.

Xu Ning admired him greatly, so he asked.

"Excuse me, what happened just now?"

Wang Zhendong sighed and said.

"It might be a problem with the left aileron."

"Hearing you say that, has this problem occurred before?" Xu Ning keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes, but we haven't found the specific cause yet. It seems to only happen during high-altitude flight."

Speaking of this, he looked at the plane, his expression complex.

"If we had the funds to buy a vibration testing rig, this problem would have been solved long ago!"

Hearing this, everyone present lowered their heads. Clearly, they were well aware of this.

"What is the vibration testing rig he mentioned? How much does it cost?" Xu Ning asked.

Seeing Xu Ning inquire, Zhang Jianlong didn't dare to delay and explained.

"That's equipment used to simulate the vibration and impact experienced by aircraft during high-speed flight."

"However, this kind of equipment cannot be produced domestically and needs to be imported, with a price as high as 600 million yuan."

He shook his head helplessly.

"Our annual profit isn't even that much."

"I'll buy it."

"But please rest assured, Xu Zong, even without it, we will solve this problem..."

"This..."

Zhang Jianlong's eyes widened. He looked at Xu Ning in disbelief and asked with a trembling voice, "Wait... What did you just say?"

Xu Ning smiled and repeated, "I said I'm willing to pay for it, six hundred million."

Although Xu Ning still maintained that familiar smile, in Zhang Jianlong's eyes, this smile no longer carried that sense of aloof authority but was warm like sunshine.

Everyone around was stunned, looking at Xu Ning with faces full of disbelief. Zhang Jianlong swallowed hard, still finding it hard to believe. After all, that was six hundred million!

"You... Are you sure you're not joking? It's six hundred million!" Zhang Jianlong confirmed.

"Does six hundred million refer to US dollars or Renminbi?" Xu Ning asked, but even if the other party said US dollars, he was prepared to pay.

"Ren... Renminbi." Zhang Jianlong spoke almost tentatively.

"Oh, well then, buy two sets." Xu Ning replied calmly.

Zhang Jianlong felt like he could barely stand and was about to kneel down. You know, this was six hundred million! The largest amount they had ever seen was only this much, and Xu Ning actually wanted to buy two sets without batting an eye!

He barely managed to steady his trembling legs and quickly advised, "Xu Zong, one set is already enough."

"No, how can six hundred million be enough? This is for the country's fighter jetcause." Xu Ning looked at Zhang Jianlong seriously.

"We must increase funding!" Then, he turned to Tang Ziwei next to him, "Commander Tang, allocate ten billion from the account and fully support their research and development!"

"Okay, I understand." Tang Ziwei responded.

Hearing this, even the usually taciturn Wang Zhendong was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth. Everyone's gaze towards Xu Ning changed. There was no longer the initial suspicion, only shock.

"I only have one requirement, and that is speed!" Xu Ning patted Zhang Jianlong's shoulder and said.

"I hope that when I come to inspect next time, the J-7E will no longer have any problems!"

Zhang Jianlong's eyes became incredibly firm. He extended his hand towards Xu Ning and guaranteed, "Xu Zong, please rest assured! Once the vibration testing equipment is in place, we will solve the problem as quickly as possible!"

I promise, if we fail to meet your expectations when you come next time, I will resign voluntarily!"

Xu Ning held Zhang Jianlong's hand, and the two exchanged a firm look.

After receiving Zhang Jianlong's guarantee, Xu Ning nodded with satisfaction. Although he had the ability to immediately find and solve the problem through the simulator, he decided not to do so for now.

The company's current foundation is too weak. Even if they solve the immediate problem, they lack the ability for further development and upgrading.

Thinking that it took nine years for the J-7 series to evolve from the A model to the E model, Xu Ning decided to wait until the company's facilities were more complete before using the simulator for data collection and upgrading.

This way, they would have the ability to test the improved aircraft and continue to enhance it based on that.

During this time, if they could obtain data on the Su-27, especially its powerful AL-31F engine, it would greatly shorten the time required to upgrade the J-7 to supersonic cruise.

Perhaps, this could also accelerate the birth of the Mighty Dragon fighter jet, but the problem of stealth coating still needs to be solved...

Thinking of this, Xu Ning felt his heart race, because if these ideas could be realized, the immense power of the fifth-generation fighter jet would be immeasurable!

Night fell. Inside a hotel in the capital city, Zhang Jianlong was still immersed in the excitement of the day, constantly toasting everyone. Regardless of whether the other party accepted, he always drank first as a sign of respect, surprising everyone present.

Although Zhang Jianlong looked gentle and refined, this bold behavior seemed to suit Xiao Jianhao's temperament, so he also joined in and drank heavily with Zhang Jianlong.

Xu Ning sat quietly to the side, watching everything like an observer. At this moment, Wang Zhendong stood up, holding a teacup, and walked over to Xu Ning, saying, "Xu Tongzhi, I don't drink alcohol, so I'll use tea instead. Thank you for your support."
