Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 394 Bi Fangchu cries

In the huge factory building, Bifang was suspended in mid-air, with two transparent polymer baffles separating it from the outside world.

Compared with the last time Zhou Rui saw it, this big guy hasn't changed much. It's just that the fuel port is connected to some external oil supply devices. The high-pressure facility sends the oil into the engine through the pipeline, and another cable is used. To provide basic electricity.

The working ability of aeroengines is mainly tested in high-speed environments.

For example, when a fighter jet flies at supersonic speeds, the air and the fighter jet move relative to each other and accumulate from the air outlet into the engine at supersonic speed. In that state, the air pressure and temperature are completely different from those on the ground.

So this ignition is actually just "cold start ignition", which is simply to verify the preliminary results of the engine.

In the follow-up part, this "Bifang" needs to be transported to a place with a supersonic wind tunnel.

But even so, it was still an exciting moment.

Many people who were qualified to know gathered outside the safety line drawn at the edge of the factory. Yang Rubin, who had disappeared for several days, was also here.

Seeing Zhou Rui, Yang Rubin waved: "I have already said hello to the leader. Drone combat is indeed worthy of our high attention. We will discuss it in detail later."

Zhou Ruidao: "I'm talking about agricultural matters when it comes to spreading fertilizer. Brother Yang can also help me introduce him."

Yang Rubin smiled helplessly, but still said: "I will help you contact the Ministry of Agriculture, but you have to discuss the specific things with them yourself."

Zhou Rui made an OK gesture.

Yang Rubin said softly: "By the way, the information about you from the outside world is getting worse. I have urged the relevant departments to investigate the source across the entire network."

Zhou Ruixin said that the source is in my system and you can’t find it.
"There are no results yet, and when your drones start to appear on the consumer market, there may be a bigger reaction."

Zhou Rui said with a guilty conscience: "I'm not sure of the source. Now I can only hope that these reactions can be isolated from confidential information."

"We will step up our work in this regard, don't worry."

Although it is just a cold start, there is a lot of preparation work for "Bifang". Engineers and experts have repeatedly tested it five times to ensure that there will be no problems.

After Zhou Rui arrived, they conducted a sixth inspection that lasted 40 minutes, focusing on every part, every structure, and even every interface.

Finally, still worried, Qiu Lixun finally found Zhou Rui: "Gong Zhou, why don't you knock again."

Everyone nearby looked over.

Zhou Rui thought for a moment and did not refuse, but this time he did not take a wrench, but took out a pen from his pocket, which he used to draw lines when working in his factory.

As long as it is a tool, "Engineering Knock" can be triggered.

Zhou Rui climbed up the steel structure steps, and then gently knocked on the "Bifang" in front of everyone's attention.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, the condition is very good."

These engineers and experts showed happy smiles, and now they very much recognized Zhou Gong's "metaphysical knock".

After Zhou Gong spoke, he felt 100% relieved.

On the contrary, the people who came to visit were a little confused.

He looked weird, as if he was watching a large religious event.

Someone whispered: "What are you doing?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's like launching a new ship. What do you have to knock? It's a unique sense of ceremony in the aviation field."

Zhou Rui and various experts came to the console in the distance and stood silently behind everyone to cheer them up.

Finally, all the structural frames were removed, leaving only "Bifang" within the baffle.

The sound of a radio came from the factory.

"Bifang turbofan engine, first ignition test, all units pay attention."

"Turn off ambient lighting."

This is to make it easier to observe the tail flame.

In the factory, most of the lights were turned off. Only some places and workbenches were illuminated, and the entire space became dim.

"Connect power, 3, 2, 1"

Qiu Lixun pressed the power switch, and the next moment, a slight electric current sounded.

After the indicator light came on, a magical change appeared on the surface of "Bifang".

Several lines of "Four Elephants-MP3" composite materials are arranged in a zigzag line. The iron-gray surface surges like fish scales and instantly turns into a dazzling mirror color.

Those beautiful bands of light on the body make it look like it’s from the future
Among the visitors, many people gasped.

Zhou Rui looked at "Bifang" with admiration. This flame elf plucked from the palace of thought was indeed extraordinary.

In the factory, the instructions continued.

"Oil supply open."

"Confirm voltage and oil pressure."

"Control system confirmation."

There is only one last instruction left.

Suddenly, Qiu Lixun, who was speaking into the microphone, turned his head and glanced at Zhou Rui.

"Gong Zhou, please give the last order."

Zhou Rui was slightly taken aback.

"'Bifang' is your child, there is no one more suitable." Zhou Rui shook his head and laughed, but still stepped forward.

Qiu Lixun moved to let him sit down, but Zhou Rui held his shoulders, picked up the microphone like a small antenna, and stood with his head held high.

Taking one last look at "Bifang", which exuded a charming light in the darkness and had a mirror-like light band, Zhou Rui said into the microphone:
"Everyone, thank you for your dedication and efforts. Next, let us witness that the children of the Republic, the flame elves of the Republic, buzz for the first time."

"Every unit is prepared and obeys instructions."

"3, 2, 1 fire!"

The operator on the side opened the safety cover and pressed the most important red button.

At first, there was a slight tremor.

Immediately afterwards, there was an increasingly sharp beep.

Something inside "Bifang" is accelerating.

Everyone stared nervously behind the baffle.

After a few seconds of brewing, the light strips on the surface of "Bifang" seemed to become more and more brilliant.

"Buzz!"sound.

The tail sprayed out a straight stream of flames.

The blue light instantly lit up the entire space.

Even the light strips of the "four-image material" on the body's surface are eclipsed in front of this and become a foil.

However, there were no cheers, and everyone was still holding on to their hearts.

The target time for this cold start is stable operation for 3 minutes.

Qiu Lixun watched the stopwatch countdown nervously. He never thought that 3 minutes would be so long.

But when he turned around and saw Zhou Rui's relaxed expression, he felt a little relieved.

Only Zhou Rui looked relaxed and smiling.

Because he knows that this "Bifang" is already very perfect. Not to mention 3 minutes, even 30 minutes or three hours, there will be no problems.

Finally, as the countdown ended, fierce cheers erupted in the factory!
"The test was successful!"

"We succeeded! Bi Fang! Bi Fang!"

"We have the world's leading aviation engine!"

"Our turbofan engine!"

Surging applause resounded throughout the space, both from the visiting group and from the engineers and experts themselves.

Of course, there is also Zhou Rui’s
Qiu Lixun ordered the engine to be shut down, but the cheering still did not stop.

Hugging each other and recognizing each other have become the main theme of this space, and some people are even secretly wiping their tears.

As the highest-ranking person present, Yang Rubin said loudly: "Everyone, let's have a celebration banquet tonight! Let's celebrate well! I will take credit from you all!"

Among the noisy crowd, Zhou Rui walked away with a smile.

Today, leave the glory and attention of all parties to these engineers and experts.

Don't steal the show yourself.

Taking the lead to walk out of the factory door, Zhou Rui breathed fresh air again.

Don't tell me, although this place is deserted, the view is wide, the sky is not that high, and there is a comfortable feeling of a vast world.

I stretched and felt refreshed.

A few kilometers away, a series of truck convoys were moving at high speed amid billowing smoke. It was unclear what their mission was.

Yang Rubin's voice came from behind: "You are leaving so early and you are not going to attend the celebration banquet?"

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Leave the protagonist's position to them, I only knocked twice."

"Don't you want Tan Yang to eat?"

"I've always had a doubt. Isn't Tan Yang from Ning Province?"

"Corn is still from America, so people in Suzhou can't raise it?"

The two chatted casually. Yang Rubin also noticed a series of convoys in the distance and wondered: "Why are there so many trucks dispatched? What happened?"

Although he holds a high position, he is not the direct person in charge here, and there is no need to report to him for general transfers.

But his many years of military career still made him feel a little curious.

Yang Rubin made a phone call.
After a while, his face looked very ugly.

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"A geological disaster occurred in the nearby area, and the entire surrounding army immediately participated in the rescue."

Zhou Rui was surprised: "Geological disaster?"

"Mudslides caused by flash floods."
