A Fighter Jet Engine on a Passenger Plane? Are You Kidding Me!

When Zhang Qian, a Minghang Aerospace researcher poached by Tenglong Aviation, introduced his aircraft engine:

Zhang Qian: "You could fit this engine on an Airbus A380. No problem at all!"

The military: "What?"

"An adaptive variable-cycle turbofan more powerful than the Raptor fighter engine, and you plan to install it on a civilian airliner?"

"Are you messing with us?"

Zhang Qian: "I designed this engine for civilian airliners. Don't make things up!"

The military: "Have you ever seen a civilian airliner cruise at over Mach 4? Have you ever seen an aircraft engine that can take off with a single engine carrying 100 tons, produce 400 kilonewtons of thrust, and reach 800 kilonewtons with its booster?"

After living a second life, Zhang Qian awakened the Super Military Industry System and developed all kinds of futuristic national defense weapons. But though all he wanted was to make a modest contribution to national defense, he discovered that the System was indirectly forcing him to make money!

"Zhang Qian, why are you obsessed with money? Don't you have any patriotic spirit?"

"I'm innocent! That nuclear-magnetic aircraft carrier is just too expensive!"
