In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Lin Chen patiently taught Lin Xiaoqian how to fold paper airplanes.
Lin Xiaoqian's interest in this area had increased a lot. For the past two or three days, she had taken the initiative to learn this.
"Host, your airplane manufacturing skill has reached the Grandmaster level."
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
Massive amounts of information quickly flooded into Lin Chen's mind. If the system wasn't protecting him, such a huge amount of information would inevitably cause Lin Chen's brain to directly collapse.
"Finally leveled up."
Lin Chen was overjoyed in his heart.
Airplane manufacturing skill at the Grandmaster level was somewhat insufficient; reaching the Grandmaster level meant he was at the world's top level.
This skill encompassed many things.
Reaching the Grandmaster level would improve Lin Chen in many aspects, and his overall ability could be greatly improved.
"Daddy, something feels strange."
Lin Xiaoqian looked up at Lin Chen and said suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoqian said in a cute and innocent way: "I don't know."
"Qian Qian's talent in airplane manufacturing technology should be okay."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
His Grandmaster level would double Lin Xiaoqian's talent in this area; if it was very low, she wouldn't feel much.
"Qian Qian, do you feel like you like airplanes even more now?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoqian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Daddy, let's build a big airplane together in the future."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian.
"Okay."
"Let's continue folding this one."
More than ten minutes passed. With the system's help, Lin Chen digested and absorbed the massive amount of experience he had gained. He had comprehensively reached the Grandmaster level in airplane manufacturing.
Although it was still the early stage of Grandmaster, it was already very strong!
His technology in all aspects had reached the Grandmaster level.
"Goodness, even the technology for sixth-generation fighter jets is here."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
Hua Country already had sixth-generation fighter jets. Some technologies were stronger than what he had now, but many technologies were still weaker than his.
A fighter jet involved many things. Not to mention newly developed fighter jets, even mature models definitely had some shortcomings in certain aspects.
But there were no shortcomings here for Lin Chen.
Moreover, Lin Chen could make all the parts of the aircraft perfectly coordinated.
"Large passenger planes, armed helicopters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, drones—"
Many things appeared in Lin Chen's mind, and he was very excited.
This improvement was very significant.
As he expected, drones were much stronger. The performance of new drones was stronger than DJI's.
"The new control system is even more powerful. More powerful drones combined with a more powerful control system greatly improve the combat capability of the drone swarm."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
The original drones lacked intelligence. The new drone control system was mainly strong in artificial intelligence.
"Next, I have to hurry up and get this intelligent system out."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
The intelligent system could also be used for the original drones, but the original drones' hardware wasn't that strong.
With the new intelligent system, at least he would be safer when he got married.
There would be many guests at his wedding, and nothing could go wrong.
"Qian Qian, you play by yourself for a while."
"Okay."
Lin Chen went to the study.
He dialed Tianlang's phone number: "Tianlang, are there any difficulties in the development of the sixth-generation aircraft?"
The sixth-generation aircraft had its first flight, but that didn't mean there were no difficulties.
Tianlang's eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Lin, are you interested in this? There are definitely difficulties. If there were no difficulties, our sixth-generation aircraft would be mature."
Lin Chen: "I'm just asking."
"If there are any difficulties, I'll study them."
Tianlang quickly said: "Mr. Lin, I don't have permission for this. I'll have Director Xu contact you directly."
"Okay."
Two minutes later, Xu Xiangyang called: "Mr. Lin, the main obstacle in the development of our sixth-generation aircraft is the material problem."
"Our sixth-generation aircraft engine is very strong, but it's too strong. It will bring very strong pressure to the engine itself, and to the parts of the fighter jet, etc."
"The stealth coating for fighter jets at ultra-high speeds is also a huge test."
Lin Chen said: "You mean it can be used, but it's not good enough."
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
Xu Xiangyang said.
With Lin Chen's security level, he didn't need to hide anything from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said: "I have some ideas for new materials. Director Xu, find experts in this field to contact me. I'll give them some information to study at that time."
Xu Xiangyang's eyes lit up.
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiangyang quickly coordinated and arranged it.
About half an hour later, an academician in this field added Lin Chen.
During this time, Lin Chen had already prepared the information, which detailed how to manufacture that new material.
"Academician Luo, please test it. In my estimation, this new material should be pretty good."
Lin Chen sent the information to the other party.
"Okay."
The academician who contacted Lin Chen didn't know who Lin Chen was. He only knew that it was a top expert that the higher-ups had asked him to contact.
Soon, this academician opened the information.
He looked at it in detail.
Lin Chen's new material was complicated to manufacture and relatively expensive, so it wouldn't work for civilian use, but it wouldn't be a problem to use it on fighter jets.
"Hmm?"
Academician Luo was stunned when he saw the back.
Lin Chen wrote on it that the expected lifespan of the engine would reach 10,000 hours using this new material.
The normal lifespan of a fighter jet engine is 3,000 to 6,000 hours.
But that's the lifespan of a mature fighter jet engine.
"If it can really reach 10,000 hours, that would be great."
Academician Luo murmured to himself.
He certainly knew the lifespan of the sixth-generation aircraft engine, which was much lower than this. It was no problem for combat, but training and other consumption during peacetime was too great.
That wasn't just burning funds.
It was the engine's lifespan burning like crazy.
"Let's try it first."
"Even if it fails, the loss is acceptable."
Academician Luo thought to himself.
He was a top material science academician, specializing in the research of new materials, and had quite a budget for this.
Soon, Academician Luo secretly got to work.
If this was true, it had to be kept absolutely secret.
At noon, Lin Xiaoqian fell asleep.
Lin Chen sat in front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard.
He had the intelligent control program for drones in his mind, but it would take a lot of time to type them out.
"System, can't you just transfer the control program in my mind directly to my computer?"
An hour later, Lin Chen rubbed his wrist.
System: "Host, no."
Lin Chen shook his head secretly.
He bitterly continued to frantically type code, and characters quickly jumped out on the computer screen in front of him.
This thing wouldn't be finished in less than twenty hours.
Unconsciously, it was late at night. Of course, Lin Chen didn't do this in the afternoon. When Lin Xiaoqian woke up, he had to take care of her.
He continued to work at night.
He didn't have time to reply to those emails in his inbox for the time being.
"This—"
Academician Luo's eyes were full of surprise.
Following the method given by Lin Chen, he made a prototype.
The test results showed that the material performance was exactly the same as Lin Chen said!
