Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 13 The Prodigy Elementary School Student

time flies.

Soon, it was past ten o'clock at night.

Lin Dong completed a portion of the parts design drawings and went home to eat and sleep as early as sunset, around 7 p.m.

Wang Rui spent an entire day finally finishing several papers and documents. He jumped up from his chair, his tired expression filled with excited shouts.

"It's done!"

"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

He finally fully understood the air intake design from the combustion chamber to the turbine.

All that's needed now is to revise the design of your turbojet engine based on what you've learned today, and the scene of your model aircraft exploding in the sky will no longer occur.

"Alright, stop yelling."

Before Wang Rui could get excited for long, a shout came from the side.

Zhang Yue, holding a stack of blueprints, beckoned over and said, "Come and take a look at these aero-engine blueprints. Let's discuss how to process them to prevent heat buildup from damaging the materials, and which parts we need to pay special attention to."

"What blueprints? What needs to be processed?"

Wang Rui strode over and asked curiously, "My brand-new super aero-engine blueprints aren't even finished yet..."

"Your garbage turbojet is outdated. Look at this," Cai Wei replied, showing a picture of an aircraft engine's overall design.

"Diameter 325mm, length 2323mm, weight 69.8kg...wait a minute!"

Wang Rui picked up the blueprints and glanced at them. His eyes widened in surprise: "A low bypass ratio turbofan engine, thrust-to-weight ratio of 9.2... Really? What kind of divine aero-engine is this? Won't the turbine melt down and explode with that thrust-to-weight ratio?"

With a thrust-to-weight ratio of 9.2 and a low bypass ratio turbofan engine, these two names struck Wang Rui like a heavy hammer.

As a student majoring in aerospace propulsion at Northwestern Polytechnical University, and with my father being a former chief engineer at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, he knew all too well what these two indicators meant.

This means top-notch aircraft engine design.

Moreover, design alone is not enough. To manufacture and process the engine core, high-temperature and high-strength nickel-based alloy materials must be used. If the material is slightly insufficient, it will either melt or break.

"You...you guys didn't steal the blueprints from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base, did you?"

At this moment, Wang Rui seemed to realize something and looked at Zhang Yue and Cai Wei in disbelief: "Quickly return it, I can't keep this thing."

"Are you stupid? Didn't you check the size? When did Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) develop such a miniature turbofan engine?"

Zhang Yue rolled his eyes and said irritably, "This is the aero-engine that Dong Shen designed today. It's fresh off the press and still smells of ink."

"Who is Dong Shen?" Wang Rui was stunned.

"It's the great Lin Dong."

Cai Wei chimed in, pulling out another set of blueprints: "Look at the fuselage of this model aircraft designed by Dong Shen. The canards, the aerodynamic layout, the fuselage curves—it's so beautiful, such a stunning design! Oh, right..."

Is there also a canard configuration?

Looking at the blueprints Cai Wei had taken out, and then at the blueprints for the low bypass ratio turbofan engine next to it, Wang Rui felt completely numb.

Brother!

This is just a model airplane, not a fighter jet.

Who makes a model airplane with canards and a small turbofan?

...Where did this prodigy elementary school student come from?!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

early morning.

Wang Rui returned home carrying several thick books, physically exhausted but mentally excited.

"You're back?"

Wang Xingguo was still awake. Hearing the door open, he looked up at Wang Rui and asked, "Where are your two classmates?"

"Dad, you haven't rested yet?"

Wang Rui paused for a moment, then changed his shoes and came in: "They submitted an exchange letter between the school and the enterprise and were assigned to an empty dormitory room."

"I'll go to sleep later."

Wang Xingguo picked up a folder to cover the data in front of him and gestured for Wang Rui to sit down: "I heard your model airplane crashed. Have you found the problem?"

"Found it. It was the excessive air resistance in the passage from the combustion chamber to the turbine. When it took off, the air intake increased and the air pressure increased, and the combustion chamber material couldn't withstand it, so it exploded."

Wang Rui nodded: "We are now preparing to change the plan and no longer use the previous turbojet engine, but switch to a low-bypass turbofan engine."

Although I find Lin Dong's design of using canard layout + low bypass ratio turbofan in model aircraft to be abnormal.

However, after learning that Lin Dong promised to guide them in designing and building a similar fighting model aircraft to participate in the school's model aircraft competition in September.

Wang Rui immediately changed his mind and stopped calling the elementary school student a pervert. Only one thought remained in his mind—it smells so good!

"Model aircraft use small-ducted turbofan engines..."

Wang Xingguo was taken aback when he heard this, but looking at Wang Rui's tired but bright eyes, he nodded encouragingly and said, "This is a good idea. I participated in the model airplane competition at Northwestern Polytechnical University when I was young."

This is a competition that allows students to combine theory and practice, emphasizing the process. As long as students gain something from participating, it will be a worthwhile experience.

"That's what we think too."

Wang Rui said seriously, "So, considering the overall coordination, in addition to replacing the engine with a low-bypass turbofan, the new model aircraft fuselage will also adopt a canard aerodynamic layout."

And the canard aerodynamic layout...

Wang Xingguo's lips twitched twice. Looking at his son, who had just finished his first year of college, he carefully chose his words and said, "Arui, you've been smart since you were little. You could do calculus in your second year of high school."

But this canard aerodynamic layout is usually only introduced to graduate students. You've just finished your first year of university, so you're still in the foundational stage...

Wang Xingguo spoke in a very tactful tone, afraid that being too obvious would hurt his son's self-esteem, but also afraid that not being obvious would make the boy arrogant and ignorant.

He practically said that the canard aerodynamic layout was too complex, and that even his father, after decades of practice, could barely grasp it, let alone a freshman like himself.

"I know, we didn't start designing right away."

Wang Rui was unaware of his father Wang Xingguo's unusual behavior: "We are currently helping someone build a dogfighting model aircraft with canard wings and a low bypass ratio turbofan. We are learning and helping at the same time, and it will be completed in about half a month. The owner of the model aircraft has also agreed to guide us on how to design it."

Ok?

Upon hearing Wang Rui's words, Wang Xingguo's expression immediately turned serious: "Help others? Help whom?"

"Laboratory No. 78, Lin Weiliang's son, Lin Dong."

"What?"

Wang Xingguo's eyes widened: "Lin Dong? That second-grade elementary school student?"

"Second grade?"

Wang Rui was stunned: "I always thought he was in fourth or fifth grade."

"Grade level doesn't matter."

Wang Xingguo waved his hand: "You just said he's designing and building a dogfighting model aircraft with a canard configuration and a low-bypass turbofan engine? You said it could be completed in half a month, and you're still instructing you on how to design model aircraft?"

"right."

Wang Rui handed the books he had brought back to Wang Xingguo, and then, as if remembering something, took out a handwritten book list from his pocket.

"This is the reading list and papers he gave me, requiring me to finish reading them within half a month. There are also numbered sequences for the books and papers. Dad, please take a look and see if there are any problems with these books and papers."

Although he had seen the part of the design that Lin Dong had already completed in the laboratory, he and Lin Dong respected each other as masters.

However, he still felt it necessary to ask his old man Deng for his opinion on the list of books and papers that Lin Dong had given him. After all, although Lin Dong was awesome, he was old and might not be as experienced as Deng, who had decades of experience.

"this……"

Wang Xingguo took the book list, glanced at it, and then looked at Wang Rui, whose eyes were clear: "The books and papers are fine. If you can figure them out, designing a low-bypass turbofan engine for a model aircraft will be no problem... It seems that Lin Dong values ​​you a lot."

"That's good. I'm going to read now." Wang Rui nodded and took the books into his room.

"Get some rest and don't push yourself too hard."

Wang Xingguo gave Wang Rui a few words of advice as he watched him walk away, and only after Wang Rui waved and closed the door did he let out a long sigh like an old father.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

Why are other people's children so talented and prodigious, while my own child is so innocent and adorably silly?

Wang Xingguo shook his head, picked up the book list copied by Wang Rui, looked at it for a while, thought for a moment, picked up his phone and dialed Chen Jianhua's number.

"Hey, Jianhua, are you asleep? You're still at the test bench overseeing the machine test... Nothing much, just asking if Comrade Lin Weiliang passed this year's safety audit? How's his performance lately?"

"The review has been approved. He's been doing well lately, so we can give him more responsibilities and let him participate in more core R&D projects... Yes, according to regulations, his immediate family members should also be included in the confidentiality list."

"At that time, the level of Lab 78, which he is in charge of, will also be upgraded, and some non-core papers and learning materials can be made available. I will communicate with the chief engineer about the specifics..."
