Chapter 268 Final Preparations(2/2)

What if one day I accidentally make a mistake?

What if one day those Chinese people finally decide to personally intervene in Darfur's affairs and completely side with Khartoum?

By that time, do you still have any chance of survival?

He knows his own strength very well.

There is still a chance to hit Khartoum.

But if you are in front of such a huge creature, or even if you are trampled to death, you may not be able to react.

Therefore, he almost accepted all the harsh conditions proposed by the United States.

There is only one requirement:

Protect the top of your head.

In this regard, Houston has shown great sincerity. The number of anti-aircraft vehicles originally planned has been increased to 6, and relevant technical personnel will be in place in the short term.

Their asking price is also very reasonable - they just want to get the rights to exploit all the oil fields, including South Sudan.

Hamidi apparently didn't realize what such an asking price meant.

Oil is Sudan's biggest strategic trump card, but he plans to hand it over directly.

Obviously, once Khartoum is captured, the entire Sudan will become a pawn for the United States to disrupt the situation in Africa.

The storm is coming, and under the seemingly calm situation, a huge storm is brewing.

And there is not much time left for China to prepare.

At the same time, 603 schools.

Tang Changhong looked at the H-20 that was about to complete the last assembly process with emotion, his face full of emotion.

He pointed at the workers who were riveting the landing gear and said to Chen Nian beside him:

"Xiao Nian, look, this is a landing gear made of new M-shaped steel."

"Although no special take-off and landing tests have been conducted, according to the preliminary material strength test results, the fatigue resistance of this landing gear is at least 40% higher than the M-300 steel we used before."

"Before, we thought that if the worst happened, we would be more diligent, do more repairs, and do more maintenance."

"Now it seems that your method is better and solves the problem fundamentally!"

Chen Nian smiled modestly and replied:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's all about standing on the shoulders of giants and climbing up."

"If it hadn't been for the ten or twenty years of research by Professor Zhao from the Materials Research Institute, no matter how genius I am, I would not have been able to come up with a solution for new materials in such a short period of time."

"The same applies to the previous large-tow carbon fiber. It's you who really solved the problem."

"You!"

Tang Changhong shook his head in a funny way and continued:

"Young man, sometimes don't be too humble."

"You are too modest, and you will appear sluggish."

"Twenty years old is the time to see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, so don't make yourself too depressed."

"Besides, can I, the chief engineer, not see who has made the greatest contribution? You can bear the praise!"

After a moment of pause, Tang Changhong continued:

"After this project is over, I originally planned to apply to my superiors for some rewards on behalf of the project team."

"But after reporting it, what do you think they said?"

"They said that with my specifications, I am not qualified to give you a reward yet. They will communicate with you directly about the specific reward."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've been told that I'm not qualified. Xiao Nian, tell me what you want, and I'll find a way to get it for you!"

Chen Nian scratched his head subconsciously. He originally wanted to answer Tang Changhong seriously, but as soon as he opened his mouth, nonsensical words rushed out uncontrollably:

"I want a Star Destroyer."

"Then you can make it yourself. I really can't do this."

Tang Changhong naturally knew that he was joking, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, he was actually secretly wondering, what kind of reward would be needed to be worthy of Chen Nian's current contribution?

His superiors had built a museum for him before, which was almost the highest reward an individual could receive.

If you want to express your feelings, you can only do it in a unique way.

I'd better let it go for now, since I don't have any idea anyway.

At this time, the installation of the H-20's landing gear device had entered the final stage.

Both of them stopped talking, and just watched nervously as the workers were busy riveting and welding the landing gear.

As long as this step is completed, the H-20 will be completely formed.

"I've been waiting for this day for 20 years."

Tang Changhong suddenly said.

Chen Nian turned his head subconsciously, only to find that there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes.

He quickly looked away and pretended not to notice and replied:

"Yes, many people are looking forward to this plane taking off - starting from the H-6, we have indeed waited too long."

Hearing this, Tang Changhong sighed heavily.

At this moment, many pictures flashed through his mind.

The old desk lamp in the laboratory flickers on and off for more than ten years.

On the bookshelf is the B-2 bomber model that someone brought back from the United States.

The Tu-160 covered by heavy snow in Siberia, and the amazing arc of its wingtips.

At the banquet, the teacher was blushing and kept talking about Russian.

A pair of eyes looked up at the sky with envy.

These pictures were so broken that even he himself could not recall when and where what happened in the pictures.

But without exception, these images are deeply engraved in my mind.

Also engraved in my mind are the emotions carried by those images.

Reluctance, anger, hope, loss, humiliation, surprise.

Carrying these emotions is an "expectation" that has never changed.

"We must build our own bombers."

"We must compare with the B-2 and make those who are reluctant to sell our Tu-160 regret it."

Such "expectations" have taken root since he entered this industry, and it has been a full 30 years now.

Fortunately, thirty years have not worn away my faith.

On the contrary, this belief becomes even more intense.

And now, it’s time for this “expectation” to be fulfilled.

Tang Changhong silently withdrew his gaze, looked at Chen Nian aside and said:

"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."

I have a really bad headache today, and I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. I feel all kinds of discomfort.

Maybe it's seasonal change syndrome.

Go to sleep first, the H-20 will take off tomorrow
