What is 5 million enough for?

After a few blows in the wind tunnel, it’s gone!

"Yes, your design is very good, but it is not irreplaceable. There are many similar designs in our archives, but their problems are all the same: they cannot be built!"

After a long time, Lin Yongming spoke:

"Are you kidding me? What do you think an aerospace engine is? You can make it just by talking about it? Let alone the complex structure, we can't solve it with just a high-temperature resistant material!"

To make a long story short, how many sentences have been wasted?

"What do you mean?"

Chen Nian knew that it was time to discuss business.

From his perspective, a sudden emergence of genius is not trustworthy - or, in other words, cannot be relied upon.

"Five billion is enough."

"But the problem is, now that this project has reached the project approval stage, what we need to discuss is how much resources we should invest in this project."

He is so poor that his GDP is only one-tenth of the time he traveled back in time.

"But don't worry, I'm not letting you take risks."

"Will this project really bear fruit in the end?"

Lin Yongming's voice deepened again.

"There must be something like this, and it cannot be put in the project feasibility report. What we need is evidence, and it is foreseeable results."

They may put forward many amazing hypotheses and achieve amazing results in a short period of time, but most of the time, these achievements cannot be transformed into practical and useful "reality".

"Xiao Chen, I am Lin Yongming."

Chen Nian took a deep breath. This time, he was not angry.

Does a breakthrough technology cease to be a breakthrough just because it cannot be realized temporarily?

Does its value cease to exist?

This kind of pedantic and rigid thinking has buried many talents.

Chen Nian has answered this question countless times. No matter who asks it, his answer will not change.

"5 billion? Okay, what do you want in exchange for it?"

"F119-PW-100 engine."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian immediately guessed what the other person was thinking.

"There will definitely be."

Lin Yongming on the other end of the phone hummed and replied:

"Of course, we will never deny your contribution."

“Young and energetic, I understand.”

"Then let's get to the point. I want to ask, did you design this body independently? Did you have the help of a professional team?"

"No, I designed it independently."

Chen Nian said firmly.

"Every penny must be spent wisely! Not only the Air Force, but also the Navy has to spend money. We currently have 4 modern-class ships and a few 053s. Every time we have a meeting, it is the time when we cry to each other about poverty!"

He paused for a few seconds and then said:

"I have already drawn the various components of the full-motion horizontal tail inlet and the component structure diagram, and will send it to Professor Chen immediately. This will support us in building a truly flying airframe."

If you are so poor that you have to think twice about changing your army uniform.

Isn’t this what leaders like Lin Yongming are worried about?

"Now, at this very moment, I have in my hand a copy of Ti-6Al, a 4V titanium aluminum alloy material, which I just synthesized in the Materials Laboratory of the Western Research Institute."

"This is the main structural material of the F-22 fighter. In China, even if it is prepared in the laboratory, there are only very few results."

"But I have a set of processes in hand that can achieve industrial mass production."

"As long as you give me a little time, the materials mentioned before can be mass-produced."
