After hanging up with Li Yun Feng, Jiang Yan Hai thought for a moment, then called Professor Zhao and gave him a general rundown of the situation.
When Professor Zhao heard Jiang Yan Hai say that the engine had received official approval and that progress was to be accelerated across the board, he was equally excited. This was naturally good news for them.
China was different from the USA. The USA's companies were private enterprises, and their system was already well established, so they did not have such an urgent need for this sort of thing.
Even if Pratt & Whitney developed a more powerful engine, they might not necessarily unveil it right away. If the U.S. military had no procurement demand, what would they develop it for?
In fact, while they did maintain technological reserves for engines, they rarely conducted advance development. They usually only began development after receiving research funding from the military.
This was unlike pharmaceutical companies or chip companies, where commercial firms conducted preliminary research and development on their own.
China, however, was different. China had an extremely urgent need for this. Once there was technology that could bring a major leap in the country's military strength, of course they would develop it immediately.
As fast as they possibly could!
After notifying Professor Zhao and the others, Professor Zhao's side would contact the people at Taihang and send an engine over to the high-altitude test bench for testing under special conditions.
Once that was done, Jiang Yan Hai focused on drawing blueprints with Er Dan.
His designs had previously all been completed in his mind. With Er Dan's assistance, the overall blueprints for the Phantom were already nearly complete. Of course, it was impossible for there to be absolutely no problems, but those issues were all
