321: Chapter 321 Data Recording by the Expedition Team

Shen Fei was just talking, of course; he hurriedly sent the electronic version of the parameter sheet over.

Silence fell on the other end of the line once again!

This time it lasted even longer; Shen Fei could hear the sound of Zhang Shiqing and Uncle Wang's breathing growing heavier.

"...Is the data real?" Uncle Wang asked first.

"I stake the company's reputation on it." Shen Fei said very seriously, "Uncle Wang, you also know that while I might be carefree and joking around usually, I absolutely do not boast when it comes to technology."

Zhang Shiqing was still extremely surprised; he had only just been transferred to the position of Secretary, could he be getting transferred again?

After all, the engine Shen Fei brought out was enough to change many things.

Uncle Wang, on the side, also looked at Zhang Shiqing with envy. After a moment, he said something that Shen Fei hadn't expected:

"You brat, did you pull Chief Engineer Luo back from the gates of hell just to have him inspect this engine of yours?"

Shen Fei was stunned for a moment. Did he?

He just didn't want these "pillars of the nation" to pass away too early. After all, having spent their whole lives researching, it would be too regrettable if they couldn't see the day their products guarded the borders!

"Uncle Wang, you truly are worthy of this profession. It would be a waste if you weren't a scout with that deductive ability! I actually did think that way!"

"I was actually a scout back in the day." Uncle Wang snorted coldly, knowing that Shen Fei was just spouting nonsense.

At this moment, Zhang Shiqing coughed lightly; only Shen Fei would dare to do this in such a situation.

"Alright, enough nonsense.

I will contact the relevant departments immediately. You prepare on your end; someone will definitely arrive at your testing ground within two days.

If you dare to fire blanks this time, I will personally send you to the Bureau of Secrecy for tea."

"Don't worry! Dad, I definitely won't drop the ball."

Zhang Shiqing didn't take the bait and hung up the phone directly.

Shen Fei looked at the screen and muttered, "The old man's temper is still so impatient."

After a while, Zhang Shiqing sent another text message: "Pay attention to confidentiality."

One day later, three black Coasters and one military Mengshi vehicle arrived at the entrance of Shen Fei's Transsion Power Experimental Center.

Zhang Shiqing and Uncle Wang did not come; after all, the schedules of a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial Party Secretary were no joke, but the people who came were even more significant than the two of them.

Leading them was the Deputy Director of the Military Industry Office, a Major General from the Naval Equipment Department, a Chief Engineer from the Air Force Aviation Industry Bureau, and two technicians in white coats carrying briefcases.

This was a big deal; Shen Fei stood at the door to welcome them personally!

"Director Zhao, General Liu, Chief Engineer Qian."

Shen Fei took the initiative to go up and shake hands; he had immense admiration for these pillars of the nation.

Director Zhao was around 50, a classic older-generation cadre, the type who was wholeheartedly dedicated to their work.

After shaking hands, he asked Shen Fei anxiously:

"General Manager Shen, Secretary Wang didn't go into much detail on the phone, just telling us that there was a big guy he wanted us to come and take a look at."

Shen Fei nodded lightly.

"Thrust-to-weight ratio of 10.8, carrier-based full operating conditions? And vector nozzles?"

Director Zhao's face was filled with disbelief. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Shen Fei's technology, but because of his expertise, he found it hard to believe.

After all, these parameters were too luxurious, so luxurious that they didn't belong to this era.

"Director Zhao, things like data can only be verified through actual testing.

How about we turn it on now? If there are no problems with the test, then we can proceed, and then see if we want to place a large-scale order."

Facing Shen Fei's sales pitch, Major General Liu and Chief Engineer Qian looked at each other and nodded.

In the underground testing ground, the WS-15H lay quietly on the test stand.

The curved, high-bypass ratio, the gleaming high-temperature resistant ceramic matrix composite blades, the precision pivot structure of the all-directional vector nozzle—every detail silently declared how dazzling this pearl on the crown of industry was.

Chief Engineer Qian couldn't move once he came in.

He crouched beside the engine, took out a vernier caliper to start measuring the blade clearance, and kept muttering to himself:

"Incredible... this aerodynamic shape... this blade profile... how was this achieved?"

Shen Fei stood to the side without rushing him, just watching; Professor Wu, who was responsible for development, also walked over.

At the same time, the other two technicians in white coats had already started connecting the sensors and data collectors; the whole process was very proficient.

Major General Liu walked over to Shen Fei and spoke in a low voice: "Has Chief Engineer Luo seen this engine?"

"He saw a part of it yesterday." Shen Fei nodded, "The relevant parameters have already been sent to them. They are currently planning; for now, they are only replacing the engine and some avionics systems."

Major General Liu's eyes twitched.

Who was Chief Engineer Luo?

The father of China's carrier-based aircraft, the general director of the Type 15 carrier-based aircraft development site. They had already started preliminary modification work, which meant this engine was already a sure thing.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to seeing how much combat capability the Type 15 carrier-based aircraft would gain after being equipped with this engine.

Could the big flat-top unleash even stronger attack power!

"Begin!"

The test run began.

Ignition, idle, slow throttle, military thrust, throttle up, full afterburner.

The sound of the WS-15H went from low to sharp, and finally to a roar that almost tore the air apart.

The protective steel plates around the test stand were scorched red by the heat, and the vector nozzle made 20-degree, 45-degree, and 90-degree omnidirectional deflections under the control system's commands; the movements were crisp and clean!

Data poured continuously into the acquisition system.

Thrust of 17.2 tons was achieved, thrust-to-weight ratio of 10.8 was achieved.

Fuel consumption rate, pre-turbine temperature, compressor... every indicator was perfect.

The hands of the two personnel in charge of recording were shaking; the data was no longer as simple as just an ordinary engine.

Chief Engineer Qian was also shocked; his legs were weak when he stood up.

He looked at Shen Fei in disbelief: "General Manager Shen... when we gave you the military industry license, I thought it was unnecessary... but now... it was ultimately this old man who was wrong, sigh."

Seeing Chief Engineer Qian sigh, Shen Fei and Professor Wu hurriedly helped him up.

Professor Wu hurriedly said: "You are too kind.

This thing is just an accumulation of materials science, plus a little bit of algorithm optimization?"

"A little bit?"

Chief Engineer Qian almost choked on his saliva. Shen Fei was also shocked; he just came to inspect a project and got killed by saliva? That would be...

Chief Engineer Qian didn't doubt these details; he wiped his face and hurriedly said.

"Do you know how many teams have gone gray-haired just to increase the pre-turbine temperature by 50 degrees?

And that carrier-grade anti-salt spray coating, we spent a full 8 years overcoming that, and you tell me it's just a little bit."

Shen Fei stopped talking, and he didn't laugh.

Because he knew how difficult these problems were without cheating; they were truly built on people's lives!

Deputy Director Zhao answered a phone call, said "hmm" twice, and his expression changed.
