Chapter 577: 228, shocking!

The chief designer turns out to be so young?_2 Chapter 577: 228, shocking!

The chief designer turns out to be so young?_2 It’s not an overstatement to say that it belongs to the world’s first tier.

However, the Wuzhi-20 helicopter also has its weaknesses, which is that its highest shaft engine can output up to two thousand kilowatts of power.

This engine is not domestically produced, but rather the T700 series turboshaft engine from the previous Black Hawks.

How should I put it…

For the second tier of domestic helicopters, such as the Wuzhi-10, it’s actually completely adequate.

But as the most advanced heavy combat helicopter in the country, this level of horsepower and power is a bit lacking, not to mention compared to America’s latest AH-64E Apache attack helicopter, or the CH-47F Chinook heavy transport helicopter, even against the AS332L1 Super Puma helicopter, it seems rather insufficient.

If it ever came down to aerial dogfights between two helicopters, then the Wuzhi-20 armed helicopter definitely wouldn’t have much of an advantage.

It can’t accelerate as fast as others, fly as high, or maneuver as nimbly.

With what could it compete?

It’s not just the helicopters, the situation with fighter jets is the same right now.

The mechanical quality has indeed improved, and in terms of electrification and electronics, Grand Xia is far ahead, but without a strong heart, this is truly fatal.

It’s like a strongman with heart disease, having great strength, but unable to use it, or using it at such a great cost that a slight mishap could result in the destruction of the machine and the loss of life.

This is an unacceptable situation for anyone, and likewise, this is why Lin Mo’s first initiative was not to bring out technological products like photolithography machines, but rather to target the core issue, the engine.

Lin Mo pondered these issues all along the way, while the others were resting with their eyes closed, none speaking.

Even if they wanted to speak, everyone was wearing noise-cancelling headphones, and they couldn’t hear what others said clearly.

After about three hours of flight, Lin Mo looked down and saw that the ground was covered in lush green vegetation, seemingly deep within some mountains.

From his memory, such mountainous terrain did not exist in the Imperial Capital.

Clearly, saying that he was going to the Imperial Capital was just a euphemism, somewhere in this deep mountain area was his true destination.

After waiting another hour or so, just when Lin Mo was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, the Wuzhi-20 helicopter finally began to descend.

The speed of descent was very slow, and Lin Mo surveyed the environment below through the window next to him.

To be honest,

If he hadn’t known in advance that this was a military factory, even if he had flown directly over this area, he might have missed this mysterious military factory entirely.

It was hidden too well; the green buildings had almost blended with the surrounding environment, and their specific outlines were indistinguishable.

However, for the helicopters to land and take off, an area below was marked with an ‘H’ shape for the helipad.

As the altitude decreased, even an outsider like Lin Mo could tell that the ‘H’ on the ground was not painted on, but rather a movable groove that had been opened in the ground.

If it was needed, they would pull open the cover over it, and when not in use, they would cover it again, a very cautious invention.

From these details, one could tell that this place was indeed the Imperial Capital First Military Factory, the secret of secrets of Grand Xia.

Many of the stories written in books and the triumphs of scientific research originated from this military factory.

Moreover, it also undertook the construction of aerospace vehicles, and had several satellites of its own, as well as 7*24-hour protection by troops.

As someone who had visited many countries, Lin Mo could confidently say that even if this military factory were to stand alone, the military power it could form would likely be stronger than the combined forces of many countries.

This is not an exaggeration.

Keep in mind that many countries still don’t have their own air force to this day, while this facility could directly seize air superiority.

In modern warfare, whoever gains air superiority virtually determines the final outcome of the battle.

Hum…

Humming….

Soon, the Wuzhi-20 armed helicopter landed right in the center of the helipad, the engine began to shut down, and the noise gradually subsided.

Looking through the window, Lin Mo could see Liu Limin leading a group of elderly gentlemen toward them.

The youngest among these people seemed to be in their fifties, and many of them were even in wheelchairs.

It didn’t look like they were in a military factory, more like they had entered a nursing home.

Lin Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he looked at Secretary Chen and asked, “Secretary Chen, are all these people our factory’s employees?”

My goodness,

If the employees of the First Military Industrial Factory were all like these people, then it wouldn’t be hard to understand why Grand Xia’s engine industry had never achieved any significant accomplishments.

The answer was clear at a glance.

“Well…”

Secretary Chen knew Lin Mo had misunderstood and, pushing up his glasses with a somewhat embarrassed expression, said, “Mr.

Lin, these are not our factory workers, but our nation’s absolute experts in the field of engines.”

“Take a look at the one walking beside Elder Liu; that’s Academician Li.

Although he has a fiery temper, he is indeed an existence like the North Star of Mount Tai,” he said.

“He was the one who initially led the team to develop the first single-bar tractor, and later reverse-engineered foreign engines, helping our engines to make long-term progress.”

Academician Li?

Lin Mo recalled in his mind, comparing the face of the elder approaching him with the images he had, and indeed, there was some recognition.

When inspecting some military equipment abroad and obtaining system intelligence, Lin Mo had heard of this distinguished name.

He was someone with a resounding reputation even internationally.

Seeing him walking alongside the others, even if Lin Mo didn’t recognize anyone else, by feeling alone, he could guess that these individuals were likely very significant.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and then asked, “Secretary Chen, are they here to pick me up?”

“There’s another important matter—are they aware of my identity or, say, the things I’ve done before?”

Upon this question, Secretary Chen decisively shook his head and said, “Mr.

Lin, most of the experts and professors here rarely go out and scarcely come into contact with the news on the internet.”

“They might have heard of Chen Shanhe, but they probably don’t yet know that Chen Shanhe has fled the country, let alone the events surrounding you,” he said.

“You can be assured of that,” he assured.

“It might be a bit unusual, but actually, if you’re in the military factory, you can essentially continue to use your own name without being disturbed or bombarded with questions,” he explained.

“However…

looking at the situation, wanting to be just an ordinary person might not be so simple after all.”

Just then, the helicopter’s cabin door slowly opened, and the staff quickly set up the ladder.

Liu Limin stood up and said, “Lin Mo my boy, ‘meet the enemy head-on and counter the flood with earthen ramparts.’ Anyway, we’ve arrived, so we might as well go down and see.”

“Judging by the intentions of these elderly gentlemen outside, it seems that even though you haven’t arrived, your reputation has already been stirred.”

Lin Mo: “….”

The thing he disliked the most in his life was becoming famous; if possible, and if it weren’t for those past events, Lin Mo would indeed be quite willing to hide his wealth and be a low-key, ordinary richest man in the world.

That was his greatest dream.

It’s just that, looking at the current situation, it seemed he was heading down a path contrary to this dream.

No matter,

After all, like Wu Jingguo said, he would need to face it eventually.

It was just a question of sooner or later.

“Sigh…”

Lin Mo took a deep breath, didn’t bother with formalities with the others on the plane, and took the initiative to walk down the helicopter first.

At the same time, the expert team led by Liu Limin had also arrived close to the helicopter.

Both parties looked at each other, their expressions filled with both shock and surprise.

Lin Mo was surprised because he hadn’t seen clearly before; among those present, several elders actually were figures from the junior high school textbooks.

As for the experts and professors, they were shocked because, if this very young-looking man was indeed the vector engine designer, that would be incredible, wouldn’t it?
