633: The Ninth Wonder

At this moment, the Leaders had also suppressed their shock and forced a smile.

So, Hao Nan, accompanied by the many Leaders, circled the Cosmic Fighter, introducing its various capabilities in detail, as if enumerating his family treasures.

"Under the leadership of Chief Engineer Ren, we spent a total of three months and six days to officially build the prototype of this first Cosmic Fighter!"

"Master Ren named this Cosmic Fighter 'Avenger'!"

"The Cosmic Fighter's fuselage is 56 meters long, symbolizing the 56 ethnic groups, and its wingspan is also 56 meters.

Its standard mission weight is 300 tons, and its maximum takeoff weight is 1200 tons."

"It is equipped with three sets of super-powerful engines.

Below 30,000 meters in the atmosphere, its average speed can reach Mach 6, and its extreme speed can reach Mach 10."

"Above 30,000 meters, as air resistance continuously decreases, its speed will continuously increase, potentially exceeding Mach 20!"

"After breaking through the atmosphere, it can exceed the second cosmic velocity of 11.2 km/s, which is over Mach 33..."

"In terms of firepower, it is currently equipped with 8 ton-class cruise missiles, two Electromagnetic Cannons, one super-frequency laser ray, and a ten-ton nuclear bomb."

"..."

Hao Nan spent about half an hour providing a detailed introduction to the Cosmic Fighter's basic parameters and various configurations.

The Leaders expressed great satisfaction.

Although some parts were incomprehensible, they knew it was incredibly impressive.

If even they could understand it, what kind of cutting-edge technology would it be?

Hao Nan continued, his voice filled with excitement:

"Especially the day before yesterday, this prototype successfully passed ten aircraft wind tunnel tests stably."

"The airframe performance remained stable, and all test data were perfect, reaching the flight test standard!"

As soon as this was said, the Leaders had not yet reacted, but the Academician beside them instantly caught the blind spot.

"Stop!"

"Brother Hao Nan, are you saying that this fighter has not only completed wind tunnel tests but also has the potential for ignition?"

"Yes!" Hao Nan replied with immense excitement.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The Academician shook his head wildly.

"This prototype, I heard, was assembled less than a week ago.

You're telling me it's already undergone ten wind tunnel tests?!"

"One test requires at least a week of preparation time.

Where did you get the time to conduct ten wind tunnel tests?"

"Brother Hao Nan, do you take us for People who know nothing about Aerospace technology? Are you just going to say whatever you want?!"

Wind tunnel tests?

This touched upon a professional field, and the Leaders were confused, completely unable to understand.

It was only after the Academician provided a rough explanation that the Leaders understood.

Wind tunnel tests, it turned out, were a mandatory test for all aircraft, missiles, rockets, and other flying objects!

Its principle was to artificially create a spatial environment that simulated the gas flow rate at high altitudes in a safe, enclosed laboratory on the ground.

Based on the principles of kinematics, the test aircraft would be fixed in the wind tunnel to simulate various flight states that might occur during operation!

This would allow for various aerodynamic tests to determine whether the aircraft's flight performance was stable!

At the same time, the Academician also mentioned that wind tunnel tests often lasted a long time, and the test standards were extremely strict!

In the development of the fifth-generation fighter a few years ago, the initial prototype model underwent over two thousand hours of wind tunnel tests.

It also underwent multiple returns for refinement and configuration, only barely reaching the standard for its first flight test a year later!

And this new fighter, which only completed its final assembly the day before yesterday, how could it have already completed ten wind tunnel tests today?

And even reached the standard for ignition and flight test?

Who are you trying to fool?!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he quickly arrived at the most probable answer in his mind.

That was, Hao Nan had ulterior motives!

Because of his brother Haoran's demotion, Hao Nan held a grudge and deliberately used this method to frame Ren Yi, then seize the project's achievements!

Having figured out the crux of the matter, the Academician looked at Hao Nan with disdain and smiled, saying:

"Comrade Hao Nan, those who engage in scientific research should have less scheming!"

"I know that because of your brother's matter, you have developed some animosity towards Comrade Ren Yi!"

"But you, to use such a foolish method to frame him, do you think you can hide it from the Leaders?"

Before, when everyone was discussing the candidate for the project's second-in-command, there were already concerns in this regard.

If it weren't for the Great Leader overriding all objections, they would never have allowed Hao Nan to be Ren Yi's deputy!

Now it seems the Leaders had indeed misjudged again!

People's hearts are truly unfathomable!

Upon hearing this, Hao Nan on the other side looked at the Academician in disbelief, with an expression like he was looking at an idiot.

He wanted to cry but had no tears!

He wanted to explain, but he was so angry that he could only sputter, unable to speak!

This made Hao Nan so wronged that he almost cried out loud.

Everything he said was the truth, so how did he become a villain framing Ren Yi??

These past few days, he had almost enshrined Ren Yi, this great research deity, so how could he possibly think of framing the other party?

You People, you really worry yourselves sick over nothing, you're truly capable of imagining things!

He was just racking his brain for an explanation when suddenly, his assistant beside him spoke:

"Deputy Chief Engineer, the data for the ten wind tunnel tests, should I bring them over for the Leaders to see?"

Hao Nan slapped his head hard and shouted:

"Go, hurry and get them!!"

With the wind tunnel test data, the matter could be proven directly, why waste so much time talking to them?

The assistant retrieved the wind tunnel test data at a hundred-meter sprint speed and presented it to the Academician with both hands.

"Hmph!" The Academician snorted coldly and took the data.

The more he looked, the more confused he became.

How did all this data look so real?

He quickly spoke to someone beside him.

"Liu Hong, come here and take a look!"

Engineer Liu Hong was the deputy chief engineer of the fifth-generation fighter, promoted to work alongside him a few years ago.

He also came as a member of the inspection team this time.

Taking the data, Liu Hong wiped his glasses and meticulously examined the data page by page, word by word.

"Lift characteristic curve, normal..."

"Pitching moment curve, normal..."

"Flutter critical wind speed, still normal..."

"This!"

"This is impossible!"

Liu Hong shook his head vigorously, his hands trembling as he continued to examine the test data.

"All pressure parameters are normal!"

"All engine torque parameters are normal!"

"All aerodynamic stability parameters are normal!"

"..."

Liu Hong became more and more excited as he looked, until finally, his entire body began to tremble!

After reading the data, Liu Hong's voice trembled as he said:

"If this data is not fabricated, then it is indeed successful wind tunnel test data!"

"Moreover, all test data are perfect, especially the aerodynamic data which is exceptionally stable."

"Even our various fighters that have already been mass-produced and deployed, if brought back for wind tunnel tests, would not be able to reach this level!"

"This Cosmic Fighter has indeed successfully passed the wind tunnel tests!"

Liu Hong's words left the Academician completely stunned.

Did that mean the wind tunnel test data was real?

Something that was absolutely impossible to happen had actually become a fact?

He subconsciously wanted to ask if the test data was fake.

But the Leaders on the side spoke up.

"Alright, don't be prejudiced anymore!"

The Leaders said with a frown:

"Comrade Ren Yi is right here, just ask him, why waste so many words?"

Right!

Ren Yi!

Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Ren Yi!

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Ren Yi just smiled calmly and said:

"Actually, it's nothing."

"For imperfect aircraft, it does indeed require hundreds or even thousands of wind tunnel tests."

"However, our Cosmic Fighter doesn't need that, because its performance is excellent enough, stable enough, and wind tunnel tests simply don't need to waste too much time!"

"The Cosmic Fighter we developed was designed from the very beginning to meet the standard for direct ignition and flight testing."

"What's so strange about completing a wind tunnel test in just a few hours?"

If he had the standard answer in hand and still couldn't pass the wind tunnel test in one go, why would he even bother with a system cheat?

After hearing Ren Yi's words, the Academician and Liu Hong almost wanted to curse!

Completing a wind tunnel test in just a few hours and reaching the ignition and flight test standard, and it's not strange?

Not strange, my foot!

If this isn't strange, what else in this world could be more outrageous?

Hao Nan, looking aggrieved, also spoke up at this moment:

"Leaders, you must believe us!"

"We haven't skipped any procedures or tests, and they were all ten times stricter than usual!"

"But precisely because of Chief Engineer Ren's first prototype, all tests were perfectly passed in one go!"

"The ten wind tunnel tests were completed in less than a day!"

The Academician still didn't believe it and asked some key technical questions based on his many years of Aerospace experience.

The result, of course, was that he received reliable answers to all of them.

Finally, he gave up!

He completely believed everything before his eyes!

At this moment, tears suddenly streamed down his face.

"A miracle, it's simply the ninth wonder of the world!"

"I've been involved in Aerospace for thirty years, and a miracle among miracles like this has actually happened in my lifetime."

"Comrade Ren Yi, no, Master Ren, it is truly a great fortune for our nation to have a national treasure talent like you!"

In his heart, he suddenly felt a sense of being born at the wrong time.

If Ren Yi had been born in China thirty years earlier, how could the Aerospace industry have experienced so many hardships?

How many People could truly understand the bitterness within?

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the Leaders on the side burst into laughter and applauded.

"Excellent, absolutely excellent!"

"Comrade Ren Yi, Comrade Hao Nan, and all the scientific researchers who have worked tirelessly for the Tian Ting Heavy Industry Plan!"

The Leaders bowed slightly and said loudly to the surroundings:

"You have worked hard!!"

"I am very satisfied with today's inspection!"

"On behalf of all the People, I extend our most sincere gratitude to you!"
