Chapter 584: 232, the confrontation between the Air Force and the Navy!_1 Chapter 584: 232, the confrontation between the Air Force and the Navy!_1 Liu Limin’s guess was very accurate, and not long after his words fell, the elderly voice on the phone spoke up, “Liu, I really like the astuteness you have.”

“Communicating with a clever person like you is the most time-saving.

The follow-up handling opinions regarding Lin Mo have already come out.”

“First, I need to make one thing clear to you: regarding the 20-series air force equipment, Lin Mo absolutely cannot have access to them, at least not for the time being.”

“But the experiment must continue.

After all, as you can see, the on-site experts and academicians are very interested in Lin Mo’s proposal.

At least in the field of materials science, some of his ideas are still very innovative.”

“If we can make a breakthrough in engine materials, then even if the vector engines ultimately fail, we can still make a significant breakthrough in materials science.”

“This affects more than just your Air Force, it even includes real benefits for the Navy and Army, too.”

“I’m sure you understand what I’m trying to say to you, right?”

Hehe?

Understand?

Liu Limin certainly understood.

Wasn’t this the typical case of wanting the old ox to plow without feeding it?

Since the research involved the 20-series vector engines, the material standards, as well as the manufacturing processes and requirements, inevitably had to match the most advanced 20-series aircraft.

Now, to rashly switch to another aircraft would undoubtedly lead to significant deviations in the final results.

What’s more, how was he supposed to explain to the scientists and academicians on-site that their vector engine project would no longer be paired with the 20-series aircraft?

This was the Imperial Capital First Military Factory, the very place where the first J-20 fighter jet took off.

Many of the big shots in the conference room were the creators and witnesses of the 20-series aircraft.

What to say?

He was really at a loss for words!

Liu Limin was still pondering how to diplomatically express the difficulties he faced when the old man on the phone preemptively blocked that option.

“Liu, allowing you to manage Lin Mo’s matter is a sign of the organization’s trust in you.

It will relate to your future career.”

“I am sharing all this with you straightforwardly because we have a good private relationship.

However, if you really can’t handle it, the organization won’t make it difficult for you.

You can submit a request, and I’ll arrange for someone else to take over your work at the First Military Factory.”

The way he spoke was almost watertight, even framing what was clearly a tough and unpleasant task as though it were something desirable—and there was no way to refute it.

It must be said that the way these higher-ups communicate sometimes elicits both admiration and helplessness.

Having intended to complain, Liu Limin, upon hearing the old man’s words, knew that anything further he said would be pointless.

He sighed and said, “Yes, leader, I understand what to do.

I will handle it as best I can.”

After a few more pleasantries, the elder hung up the phone.

Standing in the hallway, Liu Limin looked at his phone and could only let out a helpless sigh before turning back into the conference room.

The enthusiastic discussion was still ongoing and didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon.

However, Lin Mo’s teaching had progressed from simple Q&A to detailed explanations of some key data and manufacturing processes for the vector engines.

Although the toughest material issue had been resolved, the experts and academicians in the room were taking no chances, with each holding a notebook, seriously recording every point of knowledge Lin Mo shared.

Moreover, as Liu Limin was walking back to his seat, he could occasionally hear the people nearby fantasizing about the future of vector engines.

In their discussions, the J-20 fighter jet was the undeniable choice, without even considering the possibility of equipping other models with the vector engine.

This only made Liu Limin more aware of the difficulty of the tasks ahead.

But there was no choice,

When the higher-ups speak, the underlings run ragged.

The hard requirements had been stated, and if he couldn’t meet them, it would only be his problem.

Then the real trouble would begin.

With no alternative,

Liu Limin could only press the intercom button after sitting back down and said to Lin Mo, “Comrade Lin Mo, there is a piece of not-so-good news to tell you.

After higher-level review, you cannot participate in the 20-series aircraft modification for the time being.”

“This means that we must now use other fighter jets or bombers for the vector engine modification.”

“There’s no way around it, but I hope you can understand.”

“However, I’ve already advocated for you.

As long as it’s not a 20-series aircraft, you can choose any of the remaining fighters and bombers.

You can pick whichever one you want.”

Is that so…

Lin Mo had already anticipated Grand Xia’s concerns in this regard.

After all, every country wants to know the true combat capabilities and parameters of the J-20 fighter jet, especially the composition of its stealth coating, to craft a comprehensive response plan specifically for the J-20.

These 20-series aircraft, made by the world’s top talents and experts, possessed an almost fatal allure for all nations.

Liu Limin continued, “Anyway, we’re equipping a fighter jet with vector engines.

As long as we succeed the first time, there will be many more opportunities in the future.”
