198: Specific data
However, his companion, Tus, was not so lucky and unfortunately perished after being intercepted en route.
As for that brave Captain, he chose to end it all by sharing the base's fate.
In the memory of that sleepless night, the scene of drinking with Golovdev seemed to reappear in Xu Ning's mind, the wine that night was like bitter tears, welling up in his eyes.
He harbored a complex emotion towards the country called "Dog Bear", a mix of helplessness and indignation born from love and hate.
Knowing all this but being powerless, Xu Ning witnessed how high-level corruption gradually eroded the entire system, spreading like a plague and ultimately pushing countless innocent souls into the abyss.
This scene reminded him of the future fate of his own world, the same sorrow, the same irreversibility.
With a heavy heart, Xu Ning found Chen Dongchao, confided everything, and entrusted this old friend to properly take care of that brave pilot.
"Xu Ning, there's something I need to tell you. The 160 Bomber has been mastered. The technical team at North Sea is researching a new project. I've asked my subordinates to take you to the Military Engineering Academy to study the technology together and research together."
Xu Ning nodded, accepting the arrangement.
He took Tang Ziwei and the others with the clerk and went to the Northern Naval Industry Academy together. With the clerk there, everyone's accommodation and supplies had already been arranged.
Returning to the dormitory, Xu Ning quickly took a shower and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
Due to the excessive fatigue from the previous few days, he slept until noon the next day.
Xu Ning quickly finished his morning wash, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the cafeteria for a meal before heading to the agreed-upon research room to meet up with his companions.
After all, the task of research and design was heavy, requiring not only writing reports but also drawing charts and performing complex calculations. And those extra three hours of machine time were especially important.
When Xu Ning arrived at the research room, Zhao Zhide and Old Wei were already waiting there. But even after the agreed time passed, Tang Ziwei still hadn't appeared.
At this moment, Zhao Zhide suddenly asked, "Xu Ning, the software you used yesterday is called Fluent, right?"
"That's right," Xu Ning nodded and said, "I thought you should have some understanding of it in class, even though we haven't officially studied this software yet."
"Is that so?" Zhao Zhide looked a bit confused.
"I don't remember, I only know that computer simulation software will be mentioned in the senior year design methods class. I saw it in a book," Old Wei interjected, "Xu Ning, do you think we've all mastered it?"
Xu Ning scratched his head awkwardly. He did remember hearing about Fluent during his undergraduate studies, but exactly when he came into contact with it was already vague.
Just as they were talking, Tang Ziwei rushed in, "Sorry, I'm late. I just went to the library to look up some information and forgot the time."
Tang Ziwei stood at the door, breathing heavily, with her backpack on and a large cloth bag in one hand.
Xu Ning calmly said, "Since you're here, let's start the next step."
Tang Ziwei quickly replied, "I found some reference plans for aircraft improvement and want to hear your opinion."
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting her to be so proactive.
Tang Ziwei continued, "Since you have already analyzed the MiG-21 prototype, then the next step is to determine the direction of improvement, right?"
Xu Ning nodded in agreement, but his heart remained as calm as still water.
Tang Ziwei continued, "The J-7, as our country's main fighter jet, although it has a long history, we must also use existing technology to make it stronger."
Xu Ning took a deep breath, recalling the sense of frustration when confronting the US aircraft carrier at the beginning of the year. He said, "We cannot experience that helplessness again."
The other three noticed Xu Ning clenching his fists and understood his deep feelings about that incident. But they didn't know that he had missed the opportunity to become a pilot due to dental problems.
Old Wei questioned, "Xu Ning, this is not just a design issue, we also need to consider actual production."
Xu Ning firmly replied, "I intended to make the design a reality from the very beginning."
Old Wei was right, but Xu Ning knew in his heart that he came from the future and possessed knowledge far beyond ordinary people.
Initially, he thought of the "Super 7" plan to improve the J-7, but after realizing the limitations of current computing power, he knew this path was not feasible. Coupled with the limitations of domestic engines, he knew he had to proceed step by step.
Progress in the aviation industry takes time, and Xu Ning understood that his power was limited. He had to be down-to-earth and gradually realize his dream.
Xu Ning once dreamed of designing a fighter jet that could enhance the strength of the Air Force. With the help of the system, the J-7 improvement plan was more like a key to open a new world for him.
He had to design a plan that was both advanced and practical, one that could complete the research assignment on time and demonstrate his deep understanding of the development of the aviation industry.
His mentor, Professor Liu Yuanbo, although young, was seconded in a short time to be responsible for the airworthiness and technical upgrade of the yun-7 200a.
This meant that Xu Ning and his team members all had the opportunity to participate in this important project.
Just as Xu Ning was thinking about how to start, Tang Ziwei proactively offered her insights. She had just brought back a large pile of research materials on MiG-21 or J-7 modifications from the library.
"Our country previously tried to change the large delta wing of the MiG-21 to a double delta wing to improve maneuverability at low and medium altitudes," Tang Ziwei said, "But because the air intake remained unchanged, radar could not be installed, which resulted in the fighter lacking all-weather combat capability."
She then showed a more detailed document introducing the Mikoyan Design Bureau's own modifications, the MiG-21MF and MiG-21 Bis.
"These modifications enlarged the fuselage, strengthened the intake cone, and installed radar, but sacrificed some maneuverability."
Old Wei interrupted here and said, "In the late 1980s, we also tried similar improvements, such as the J-7C. I think we can continue to optimize based on this foundation, utilizing modern radar technology, and even allowing the aircraft to carry advanced radar-guided missiles."
However, while Old Wei was still excitedly describing the future, Tang Ziwei had already noticed that Xu Ning was not entirely satisfied with this. "I think such a modification is not bold enough," Tang Ziwei retorted, "It is not enough to showcase Ning Ge's true talent."
Clearly, for Xu Ning, what was truly meaningful was not just improving an airplane, but using this opportunity to demonstrate his extraordinary innovative ability and insight into future aviation technology.
Old Wei was immersed in excitement, but was ruthlessly rejected by his beloved Tang Ziwei. She even took the opportunity to praise Xu Ning's ability, which left Old Wei standing there awkwardly, looking at Tang Ziwei at a loss, and then looking at the frowning Xu Ning.
Initially, when Tang Ziwei took out a large amount of information and carefully organized her thoughts, Xu Ning's favorability towards her increased significantly.
