Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1091: Chapter 540: Ten J-40s, $10 Billion!_2

"Oh~~~" freewēbnoveℓ.com

The young reporter suddenly realized; his mind whirled around ten times before coming back to the simple logic.

He continued thinking aloud, "The engine is called the Kunlun Type II Engine, the standard being for export. Then, the one installed in the J-40, yes, it must be the Kunlun Engine!"

The senior reporter looked at the young reporter seriously, nodding vigorously with an approving gaze that hinted at teachable potential.

The next question followed, "Previously, there have been prototype displays of the Kunlun Engine with some performance parameters released, but there is a big difference compared to this one. Can you explain the specific reasons?"

Zhang Gangchuan immediately said, "Technology is developing, and techniques are improving."

"We have always been committed to the research and development of engine technology, encountering unimaginable resistance and overcoming a lot of difficulties in the process."

He did not answer directly.

Mainly because he didn’t have the nerve, he couldn’t say that the Kunlun Engine had nothing to do with the J-40, only that he led his team through the hurdles and challenges in developing the Kunlun Engine.

The reporters immediately took notes.

The young reporter was quick to respond this time. His mind turned and he immediately said, "I did some preparation before coming here, and I know that the last display of the Kunlun Engine was four years ago. He means, during these four years, the Kunlun team has made significant progress in technology, leading to the current achievements, right?"

"So it once again confirms that the J-40 is equipped with the Kunlun Engine."

"That being said, the previously released information about the Kunlun Engine is still very useful. By following that direction in development, one could obtain the high-end engine used in the J-40?"

"Huh~"

Several European and American reporters beside him quickly took notes upon hearing the young man’s statement, it made them recall a Chinese saying, ’The waves behind drive on those ahead; with each generation being stronger than the last.’

Look at this!

The next generation is truly gifted!

Following this.

At the display booth for the Kunlun Type II Engine, various aviation professionals began to ask about the engine’s detailed specifications, including manufacturing, assembly, and specific parameters. They also delved deeper, wanting to understand things like the power interface and electronic control system.

These questions showed a clear interest in the engine.

Zhang Gangchuan was well-versed in the Type II Engine; he answered each query. He also noticed the change in the surrounding crowd – the initial skepticism was replaced with surprise and admiration.

He found that he enjoyed this feeling, becoming the center of attention changed his mindset completely.

Conning people...

Seemed pretty good too!

...

Meanwhile, the J-40 completely took off in the realm of public opinion. Ordinary people don’t care about engines; they are concerned with fighter jets.

The J-40 became a sensation domestically, abroad, and globally.

Stunning photos were uploaded to the internet, and shocking reports were released, spreading rapidly and capturing the attention of countless people.

The J-40 was not just a technological product, but a critically important military fighter jet, attracting not just public interest but also escalating to national attention.

Many state-run media outlets reported on it, showing interest in the J-40, while some Western media outlets expressed their concerns.

The "Washington Post" from M Country stated, "From the J-40’s debut, its agility, flight capabilities, and speed are on par with the F-35, and it’s a single-engine medium fighter jet."

"In the fields of aviation engine technology and fighter design, China may have caught up with or even surpassed M Country."

European media expressed similar views.

This narrative, coupled with the stunning design of the J-40 and the speed and agility it demonstrated, made the public opinion space increasingly marketable.

Some Western political figures started to make statements aligning with the narrative.

For instance, certain politicians said, "The J-40 is just a showpiece. Such design must have huge flaws that just aren’t showing."

"China’s aviation technology couldn’t possibly reach this level."

"What we see may not necessarily be true; maybe it was prepared over a long time, just to deceive the public."

Other politicians and military personnel indicated, "We will continue to monitor the situation with the J-40."

Leaders from several countries, when interviewed by the media about the J-40, shared their views, "Maybe it’s a showpiece, maybe it’s real, we can’t say anything for the time being, we still need detailed information from intelligence agencies."

"But one thing is certain: China’s approach is wrong; they should not invest so much effort into military technology, but should limit military development. World peace is the common goal of humanity; they should reduce military-related spending and focus more on developing people’s livelihoods..."

Some suggested, "We will continue to monitor the J-40 situation, and in the future, there might be possibilities for military cooperation with China!"

"Congratulations to China for the major breakthrough in the aviation field!"

Some militarily active smaller nations expressed interest, "I am very interested in the J-40 and hope to see it with my own eyes someday. Yes, on our territory, belonging to us."

"We will strive for cooperation with the Chinese Air Force and start exchanges in aviation technology."

"..."

Internationally, public opinion mainly divided into three categories: some friendly countries extended congratulations; unfriendly Western countries expressed concern; neutral countries showed interest and curiosity, and even indicated hopes of purchasing the J-40 fighter jets in the future.
