38: Chapter 38 Let's build aerospace fighters and make China a true master of the skies!
"Comrade Lin Mo, if you have any ideas, just speak them directly."
Lin Mo straightened his back.
He spoke with a serious expression.
"Leaders, I have some research and ideas regarding Aerospace Fighter technology that have already matured!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
Aerospace Fighter?
What is that?
Air Force Commander General Yun Feijie frowned and asked.
"Comrade Lin Mo, the Aerospace Fighter you mentioned, is it a fighter jet or a bomber?"
"The fifth-generation supersonic stealth fighter we developed—the J20 fighter jet—has actually caught up with the fighter jet technology of Eagle Country."
"Furthermore,"
"not only are we on the right track with fifth-generation aircraft, but our research into sixth-generation aircraft is also well underway."
"The latest J30 experimental aircraft has already preliminarily achieved the performance of a sixth-generation aircraft."
"It's just that the technology is not yet mature."
"To put it into mass production and meet the standards for service, it will take at least another ten years."
His words had a secondary meaning.
In the field of fighter jets, China already had mature research teams working on them, and the results were very outstanding.
Are you, Lin Mo, sure you still want to get involved?
Moreover, something like a fighter jet involves a massive engineering workload and numerous technical barriers.
While that Individual Exoskeleton Armor from before could indeed be researched by a single genius.
But for a fighter jet, even if you were given a team of dozens of top-tier talents to research it, it would at least take years.
Time waits for no one!
"Leaders, what I am talking about is neither a fighter jet nor a bomber; it is an Aerospace Fighter," Lin Mo corrected.
"What I plan to research is an Aerospace Fighter capable of entering space, which is completely different from a normal fighter jet."
After hearing Lin Mo's words, the leaders present were confused again.
An aircraft that can go to space?
Are you talking about... a space shuttle?
If one speaks of aircraft that can go to space, aside from manned rockets, there are only space shuttles.
Among all the countries on Blue Star, only Eagle Country has this thing, and due to stability issues, it hasn't been used for over a decade.
"Comrade Lin Mo, regarding this space shuttle," a leader with completely white hair spoke up, "it's not that I don't believe you, but I want to remind you."
"The aviation field and the aerospace field do share many common technologies, but they are two completely distinct technical domains."
"In recent years, China has made rapid progress in aerospace technology, and manned spaceflight has also achieved huge success."
"However, wanting to integrate aviation and aerospace technologies is something we currently have absolutely no confidence in."
"Even Eagle Country, which once formed a mature space shuttle system, completely phased out space shuttles after a fatal accident due to poor stability."
This person was none other than the Chief Designer of China's technological development, Chief Designer Bai Yannian!
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled lightly and said calmly.
"Chief Designer Bai, let me clarify once more: what I intend to research is an Aerospace Fighter, not that piece of trash that is a space shuttle, which explodes like fireworks in the sky at any given moment."
Lin Mo explained briefly.
"Leaders, I'm afraid you might not understand, so let me put it this way: you can consider the Aerospace Fighter as a seventh-generation fighter jet!"
Upon hearing this, the whole room erupted!
Everyone's expression changed.
"Comrade Lin Mo, do you realize what you are saying?" Chief Designer Bai Yannian asked urgently.
Lin Mo nodded and said.
"Actually, we haven't even officially released a sixth-generation aircraft yet. Calling it a seventh-generation or eighth-generation aircraft is just to illustrate that the Aerospace Fighter is epoch-making aviation technology."
Lin Mo smiled and said.
"Strategically, the Individual Exoskeleton Armor lacks a bit of a decisive impact."
"But the Aerospace Fighter is different. With the Aerospace Fighter, China will become the hegemon of the sky on Blue Star!"
"Truly achieving the goal that those who offend China, no matter how far away they are, must be punished!"
"Hostile entities to China, such as Eagle Country and Japan, will live in constant fear under the deterrence of China's Aerospace Fighter!"
Following Lin Mo's words, everyone fell into a reverie.
The hegemon of the sky!
Punished no matter how far away!
If the scene described by Lin Mo could truly be realized, China would truly rise, and the Chinese people would no longer be bullied!
"Therefore," Lin Mo continued, "our next focus in China should ideally be placed on the Aerospace Fighter!"
The leaders looked at each other and found that the eagerness revealed in each other's eyes was significantly greater than their concern.
If it were anyone else, even any academician, the top leadership would never have agreed.
But Lin Mo, this genius who has already created miracles... honestly, they were already tempted!
He was a super genius who, relying solely on himself, could outperform the research teams of the two strongest countries on Blue Star and independently develop the Individual Exoskeleton Armor.
What reason did they have not to believe?
Long Jianjun said solemnly, "Comrade Lin Mo, do you have confidence?"
Lin Mo straightened his back in his seat and responded earnestly.
"I am fully prepared and will definitely not fail the trust placed in me!"
Having received a positive answer from Lin Mo, everyone whispered to each other to discuss, and soon made a decision.
"Good!" Chief Designer Bai Yannian slapped the table and said solemnly.
"Everything is left to you, Comrade Lin Mo!"
Lin Mo stood up and returned a military salute.
Afterwards, at the meeting, everyone discussed all the matters regarding the upcoming national-level Aerospace Fighter project.
Under the suggestion of Lin Mo, this project was officially named the "Nantianmen Project!"
Watching the project receive unanimous approval from the top leadership, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel excited.
The wish that was not fulfilled in his previous life would now be realized by him, Lin Mo, using his own hands to bring this future plan from his past life into reality in this parallel world of China!
"Comrade Lin Mo, we originally had some other topics for today's meeting," General Yun Feijie said with a smile.
"But after this 'Nantianmen Project' of yours, there is no need to discuss them anymore, hahaha!"
Everyone present also laughed heartily.
"However, there is one more thing we need to hear your opinion on," Long Jianjun said.
"Can the Individual Exoskeleton Armor technology be used for a political technology exchange with Eagle Country?"
