Why Would an Aircraft Carrier Be Dispatched to Escort His Fishing Boat?

57: Chapter 57: Descendants Activate, Fairy Changes Speed[Kuafu Chasing the Sun Propulsion System, including...]

[Hou Yi Shooting the Sun Engine!]

[Seven Fairies Fully Automatic 396-Thomas-Rotations-Per-Second Transmission Box!]

[Jingwei Filling the Sea Never-Fatigue Drive Structure!]

[Yugong Moving Mountains Unshakeable-as-a-Mountain Locking Device, Northern Darkness Divine Kun High-Altitude Wing-Expansion Decelerator... and 1097 other core designs!]

”Holy sh*t!!!”

Just looking at the names, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel his blood boil!

This set of design blueprints!

It’s way too freaking awesome!

Currently, the world’s most advanced 18-stage afterburning turbofan engine has 100 tons of thrust, allowing a fighter jet to reach speeds of Mach 2.

That is twice the speed of sound!!!

But!

This Hou Yi Shooting the Sun Engine actually has 300 tons of thrust, with a maximum speed of Mach 6.

Combined with the other 1,000-plus core designs, it’s enough to let a fighter jet reach Mach 10!

That is 10 times the speed of sound!!!

It’s a full five times faster than the world’s most powerful F-22 fighter today!

”My god!”

”This is defying the heavens!”

”Such an engine, such a propulsion system, can definitely increase the power of the Descendant of the Dragon several times over!”

”Carbon-9 material, Mach 10 speed, such power and defense... it’s enough to rival an A-sequence supernatural biological entity!”

Jiang Chen was excited!

Assembling a formation of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals that can crush A-sequence supernatural biological entities is already within reach!

I’d like to call it: Artificial A-Sequence · Descendant of the Dragon!!!

As Jiang Chen was excited, a vast amount of scientific knowledge flooded into his mind.

Physics, rocketry, dynamics, energetics, structural engineering, fuel science, engineering control, engine principles and design—a total of 15 disciplines!

”Yeah!!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but let out a wild roar over the sea in his joy.

??”

The Jindai Bird raised its wing and glanced at him in confusion. What’s wrong with this kid!

”Set sail!”

”Return home!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to strengthen the Descendant of the Dragon with this propulsion system!

Jiang Chen didn’t stop, rushing back to the country overnight.

However!

When he arrived at Zhujiang Port, it was already past three in the morning.

A sudden downpour soaked him to the bone.

But he didn’t care. After docking the boat, he immediately got into a Future Auto waiting for him at the port.

It was Xue Yao; she had been waiting for him here for three hours.

”Why are you in such a hurry to come back? You could have waited until daylight!”

Qin Xueyao quickly helped Jiang Chen change his clothes, looking at him with a face full of heartache.

”It’s fine! Let’s go home first.”

Jiang Chen urged.

The car left the pier.

And shortly after the car left!

Several warships on the sea also emerged from the darkness and entered the nearby military port.

Some dockworkers loading cargo at the port looked at each other in surprise as they saw the massive objects emerging from the black curtain.

”Aren’t those the two cruisers that just went out a few days ago? Why are they back so soon?”

”Yeah, and at this hour too. It’s really strange.”

”Cruisers have been moving frequently lately. Next time, will the long ming aircraft carrier also show up?”

”Unlikely! The long ming aircraft carrier only comes back for refitting about once a year. I heard it’s currently escorting all our cargo ships in and out of the Somalia area.”

”Speaking of the long ming aircraft carrier, I remember some internet celebrity on Weibo a few days ago who demanded the Naval Department Base give his yacht a carrier designation. It cracked me up; he actually dared.”

”What happened later?”

”Account banned, person arrested, haha.”

”So stupid, yet he can have so much money and so many followers. Sigh.”

Several dockworkers stepped on their cigarette butts and chatted away.

Although they were workers, they were quite interested in warships like cruisers.

After all.

Fighter jets in the sky, tanks on the land, and warships in the sea represent the three classic engines of violence of humanity. Men will more or less like them.

As for those so-called internet celebrities.

Even these people at the bottom of society looked down on them.

What they respected and yearned for would always be...

Power!!!

...

When Jiang Chen returned from the sea.

Dean Xia of the Longke Academy was currently facing a difficult choice.

”Professor Gao, regarding the three conditions you mentioned, except for the first one which I can barely accept, I hope you reconsider the second. As for the third, it violates our country’s laws and doesn’t align with our Longke Academy’s system. With my principles, it’s absolutely impossible to agree. If I did, I would be a sinner of history.”

Xia Zhongxun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a heavy expression.

This middle-aged man, named Professor Gao Xiaohua, was a deputy director and full professor from the Stanford School of Physics.

He had extraordinary achievements in rocketry and dynamics.

Even the United States Ministry of Science and Technology had selected him as one of the world’s most outstanding scientists.

And such a scientist had actually announced a few days ago that he was leaving the United States to join the Dragon Kingdom and the Longke Academy.

This had made the Dragon Kingdom’s Ministry of Science and Technology and the Longke Academy very happy.

They quickly arranged for him to join the Longke Academy, preparing him to join the Nantianmen Project.

Xia Zhongxun was also quite moved, feeling that over the years, more and more excellent talents abroad were gradually returning home.

But what he didn’t expect was!

As soon as Professor Gao Xiaohua joined the Longke Academy, he put forward three demands.

First, an annual salary of 100 million.

Second, appoint him as the general head of the Heavenly Soldier Project.

Third, regarding the design concept of the 20-stage afterburning turbofan engine he brought back, once the structure is built, half of the patent belongs to him personally, and the state must not interfere with him using this patent to build a private military factory.

If Xia Zhongxun could still frown and apply to the state for the first condition,

The second condition!

Already made things very difficult for him.

Although Jiang Chen was not an expert in dynamics, he had unique achievements in Brain-like Chips, intelligent mecha, and even Carbon-9 molecular materials.

The Heavenly Soldier Project currently lacks one key engine.

But eighty percent of this project was indeed driven by Jiang Chen, and the final blueprint was almost complete.

At this time, if Jiang Chen were suddenly demoted just to win over Professor Gao Xiaohua,

Then!

Not only would it hurt Jiang Chen’s heart, but it would also disappoint many other colleagues at the Longke Academy!

As for the third!

That was even more impossible.

A military-grade engine with half of the patent privatized?

And wanting to build a military factory?

And no interference?

Wouldn’t that mean he could sell these engines to other countries afterward?

Wouldn’t this become using Dragon Kingdom’s materials, resources, and personnel to amass private wealth for himself!

Although the Longke Academy also coveted that legendary 20-stage afterburning turbofan engine, it would not do something so unprincipled!

”I can temporarily waive the third. But for the second, I hope you consider it carefully. Currently, the Heavenly Soldier Project is only missing an engine, and I have participated in the design of the world’s most advanced engines. Me becoming the head of this project is simply too appropriate!”

”As for that Mr. Jiang you mentioned, although he has made outstanding contributions, he is no longer suitable for this project. You can consider awarding him an honorary certificate, and then...”

”Let him retreat to the second line!”

Professor Gao Xiaohua smiled calmly.

He hadn’t held much hope for the third demand in the first place.

His ultimate goal was actually the second demand: to become the general head of the Heavenly Soldier Project!

And to achieve this step, he must first kick out the current general head of the project.

In other words, he was here today to force a handover.

However!

Xia Zhongxun had no intention of backing down. He frowned and said,

”If I were to do this, wouldn’t it be like killing the donkey once the grinding is done, or breaking the bridge after crossing?”

Jiang Chen is so young and promising. If he were to do something that violates his original intentions just to quickly complete the Nantianmen Project, not only would Jiang Chen be heartbroken, but his own conscience would suffer for the rest of his life!

Confidence and trust are sometimes more important than technology.

With only technology and no trust or confidence, long-term development is impossible.

But with enough confidence and trust, difficult technologies will be broken through sooner or later!

Xia Zhongxun saw very clearly which was more important.

”Dean Xia, the development of technology requires the sacrifice of some people.”

”Especially those whose value is getting lower and lower.”

At this point, Gao Xiaohua stood up and issued a final ultimatum.

”Of course!”

”If that Mr. Jiang you mentioned is not convinced, you can let him come and challenge me.”

”I will let him know that a chip expert who might not even know the principles of a tractor engine has no right to stay in this project any longer.”
