A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Time flies, and years pass by.

It's been 9 days since Lao Wang left, and Xiao Dai Mao misses him~

The above is the work log of the second male lead in the leather jacket.

The truth is, Xiao Dai Mao is so busy every day that he has no time to care about Lao Wang, who has already developed a fishy smell.

The experienced craftsmen who came to review the processing techniques all wanted to have Jiang take a look at the improved process. Every day, the craftsmen who brought the blueprints to the sanatorium lined up so long that they could almost circle the small garden.

The sanatorium was so enraged that it had to report the situation overnight, saying that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be a sanatorium anymore, it should be called a research institute.

Unexpectedly, the higher-ups were overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately handed over the newly built three-story building of the sanatorium to Jiang Xia for use.

The building isn't tall, but it has quite a few rooms.

The technicians from Factory 112 and Shuguang Factory filled the gap, and slowly, what was originally just a matter of fixing bugs in the J-6 turned into a major battle to improve the J-6's manufacturing process.

One by one, the questionable processes were resolved through everyone's efforts.

Besides~

Material.

"Ugh! This is infuriating. Our RD-9B engine, which we copied, has reached the limit in terms of quality control, but unfortunately the materials are not good enough. The engine's front wheel temperature still can't reach 1000 degrees. If it could reach 1000 degrees, then even without afterburner, the engine would be unaffected by the exhaust plume of a missile launch."

After discussing some minor modifications to the engine with Jiang Xia, Engineer Qu from Shuguang Factory couldn't help but pat his chest in admiration.

Without suitable materials, even the best modifications are just castles in the air...

Jiang Xia was also deeply saddened, thinking back to how Pang Guoxing had risked his life by launching his own son into the air while piloting the plane with afterburner engaged.

why?

In layman's terms, after a missile ignites, the rocket propellant it uses steals air from the aircraft engine!

When an aircraft engine ingests missile exhaust, the combustion process becomes incomplete, leading to a series of accidents such as loss of control and spin.

Fortunately, the J-6's air intake is located in the nose, so the impact wasn't too significant. Pang Guoxing was also quick-witted; after the missile was launched, he promptly adjusted the course, instead of foolishly following the missile's exhaust plume…

Even so, the combustion chamber of the test engine that Pang Guoxing was driving still exhibited abnormal phenomena.

Fortunately, the testing machine was completely disassembled, which allowed this potential problem to be discovered in the early stages.

The Russian RD-9B engine wasn't made of high-quality materials to begin with, and its entire lifespan was less than 100 hours. This was the normal service life; if afterburner was engaged and it went supersonic, the service life would drop even further.

The Russians, with their vast wealth and power, don't take engines seriously; a poor rabbit can't afford that.

But the kind of poor rabbit's approach of "new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years" cannot be applied to airplane engines; that could be fatal!

The two sighed for a while, realizing there was nothing they could do about the situation.

"Alright! Engineer Jiang, just because there's no way to do it now doesn't mean there won't be a way in the future. Let's leave it at that for today! Thank you for your hard work..."

With Engineer Qu's departure, the entire process improvement of the J-6 came to an end. Although there were still some regrets, the goal was clear, and as long as there was a goal, that was enough.

Just keep your head down and keep chasing!

After seeing Qu Gong off, Jiang Xia circled around the table.

As for materials, I recall that an iron-nickel based precipitation-hardening wrought superalloy is extremely suitable for the current situation.

Although it is known that this alloy is composed of base elements such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and iron (Fe), and appropriate amounts of aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) are added as precipitation hardeners.

But the processing methods and content ratios were completely unknown.

Well, it's all because our motherland is too awesome when it comes to steel. To design something, she only needs to select the corresponding steel data from the material library. She doesn't care whether the alloy steel of this type is made in a vacuum furnace or electroslag remelted.

Hey, is electroslag remelting available now?

Well, I'll look into it when I have time. I have too many things to do, and my mind is all tangled up.

Wash your face, go downstairs for a run, and refresh yourself before handing in your homework.

Um, don't get the wrong idea, it's English homework assigned by "Teacher Qin".

A while ago, Professor Guo and Dean Qian had an in-depth exchange about the "Big Firecracker No. 1" developed by Jiangxia. While marveling at the bald eagle's extraordinary abilities, they also offered profound criticism of the young man for only conducting ground test firings before moving the air-to-air missile to an aircraft for live-fire exercises.

In particular, the young man explained the impact of launching air-to-air missiles on aircraft engines to the two experts in great detail, which left them all feeling a bit scared. In the end, through some unknown means, they sent the young man a large bag of learning materials.

It was still handwritten, showing that the two elderly people were truly determined to raise their young son well.

Well, you two big shots, if you're going to train them, why make the materials entirely in English?

English is fine,

(f(x)), lim, p=＞q, various mathematical symbols are baring their fangs in the data, and Xiao Dai Mao wishes he could swallow them all in one gulp.

Wow, how did you guys manage to allocate so many skill points?

Discrete mathematics and such are a bit far removed from what a mechanical engineer like me would do, right?

During his last phone call with Dean Qian, Xiao Daimao finally voiced his grievances:

"Waaah~~ Weren't you only so harsh on bald-headed eagle students? You'd explain things to Chinese students ten times if they didn't understand after one explanation? How come you don't even do it once with me?"

Dean Qian smiled gently: "I think I still have the photos of you and us. You can't even understand this question, yet you have the nerve to take a picture with me?"

Opposition and rebuttal were ineffective, so the little brat could only shout, "Teacher Pei, save my life!"

Unfortunately, Teacher Pei declined with a smile, saying that she couldn't care less about Jiang Xia, the little puppy, right now.

The reason is that the Academy of Sciences is working hard to program the two newly produced transistor computers. Based on the original program provided by Jiang Xia, these geniuses have also created a lot of instruction sets without any formal instruction. However, due to the limited memory and the mathematical symbols unique to scientific computing, these things can only be expressed in English for the time being.

To put it simply, Teacher Pei's life is no easier than the little brat's. Every day, besides typing on the typewriter, she's busy checking various symbols and simply doesn't have time to teach him.

However, Teacher Pei recommended her daughter, "Teacher Qin," to Jiang Xia.

When "Teacher Qin" chuckled and said, "Brother Jiang Xia, you're so silly," Xiao Dai Mao's stubborn nature was reactivated.

It's just English!

Just memorize the vocabulary!
