I built an armada - Chapter 639
“Understood. Thank you, Chief.”
Xie Zhenyu carried his luggage, passed the security check, and entered the base directly according to Wan Long’s instructions, and walked straight forward.
When he walked about 20 meters, he encountered a steel armored gate.
“Xie Zhenyu, a first-class pilot of the Air Force, 10 years of flying experience, verified!”
“Please come in.”
The mechanical voice fell, and the door slowly opened.
“Oh my god, what is this place? Why do I feel like I’m on an alien planet?”
Seeing the heavy military green door open, Xie Zhenyu felt shocked again, and everything he saw brought visual impact and shock.
Even the Air Force’s test flight center is not so strictly confidential and mysterious.
After passing through the gate, he came to a brightly lit tunnel, with a faint blue light flashing in the tunnel. Every step he took would have a light on the ground, illuminating his way forward.
Not long after walking, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and he couldn’t help but stare at the surroundings with wide eyes.
Wherever he looked, there were green trees everywhere. Even the air smelled particularly sweet and refreshing, which made him feel refreshed.
His first feeling was like he had come to a paradise. Working and living here was like living a fairy-like life.
The people here really know how to enjoy themselves.
Soon, he saw a very advanced base coming into view.
Wherever he looked, there were busy people coming and going, and the buildings here were also very distinctive, like the scenes of Cyberpunk reflected in reality!
Not long after walking, he saw a peculiarly shaped building standing there, and the sign at the door read “Wind Tunnel Center”.
“Hey, there is actually a third-generation wind tunnel center?”
“There is actually this thing here? Isn’t this a very confidential equipment of the Air Force?”
Xie Zhenyu was extremely surprised, and felt that his brain was not enough, as if he had completely entered a modern aviation research base.
At this time, he saw a young man walking slowly over, with a confident smile on his face.
“Hello, comrade. I am Xie Zhenyu. Commander Ma asked me to come and report to Commander Su. He said there is an important task to be arranged.”
Xie Zhenyu immediately turned around and saluted the other party, “Can you trouble me to take me to see Commander Su?”
All the people he had met were of very high military rank.
Even those without military rank were wearing white coats or uniforms, full of vitality and fighting spirit, very different, which made him admire them from the bottom of his heart.
Su Dingping was not wearing a military uniform now, but a uniformed work uniform. Xie Zhenyu had never seen Su Dingping, so he naturally didn’t know him.
Su Dingping looked back and forth at the well-proportioned figure named Xie Zhenyu in front of him, then looked through the information, and then nodded with satisfaction.
“Xie Zhenyu, nice to meet you.”
After the other party finished introducing himself, Su Dingping put away the information and said easily, “You don’t have to look for me, I am the Chief Su you are looking for.”
“Ah, you, you are…”
Hearing this, Xie Zhenyu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and his eyes were as big as cow eggs, staring at Su Dingping.
This young man in front of him, who is much younger than himself, is actually the legendary Chief Su? Chief Engineer Su?
This, so young?
Oh my God, am I crazy, or is this world crazy.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, and his three views were completely overturned.
Suddenly, he thought of what Wan Long had specially told him before.
“Don’t be too surprised when you meet Chief Engineer Su later.”
Could this be true?
Oh my god, Xie Zhenyu was a little confused, staring at the other party with his eyes.
When he was in a state of confusion, he saw a scientific researcher walking over quickly and said very respectfully: “Chief Engineer Su, all inspections have been completed, and all performances meet the requirements. They can be put into actual testing at any time.”
Su Dingping took the test results from the other party, checked them carefully, and handed the information to the other party after confirming that they were correct.
“The people we need have arrived. You go and notify everyone to get moving.”
The scientific and technological personnel immediately took the order and said: “Yes, Chief.”
When Su Dingping was not paying attention, Xie Zhenyu quietly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and quickly adjusted his mentality.
“Report to the chief! Air Eagle Regiment pilot Xie Zhenyu reports to you!”
Xie Zhenyu straightened his chest and said with a serious face.
“Okay, follow me.”
Su Dingping nodded gently, then took out a document from his handbag and handed it to the other party, saying, “The climb rate of the J-10 fighter is 285 meters per second, and the maximum ceiling is 18km. You have tested this fighter. Then, are you sure to test a reconnaissance aircraft with a maximum ceiling of 26km?”
At this point, he handed a document to Xie Zhenyu.
The maximum ceiling is 26km?
What kind of reconnaissance aircraft is this, which can fly so high, higher than the U-2 of the Eagle Tribe.
When did we have such a fighter?
For a moment, Xie Zhenyu was confused.
Why didn’t I hear anything?
Xie Zhenyu hurriedly put down his luggage and quickly flipped through the information, but his heart was filled with huge waves.
Dark Sword No. 1 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft! His eyes suddenly widened several points.
Isn’t this the concept reconnaissance aircraft released in the previous Air Force recruitment video?
It’s actually made? Is it true or false? When did this happen?
At this moment, Ma Zhengbang repeatedly told him not to embarrass the Air Force, and he threw it all out of his mind. He could no longer control his excitement.
There is really no way. Such an advanced reconnaissance aircraft has never been seen by the Air Force before, and there is no news that it has been produced.
That’s right, if he hadn’t come to this place today, he would never know.
It is obvious that this is a sci-fi fighter in the CG animation, shining into reality. Can he not be shocked, dazed and excited?
I’m afraid that even if the head of the Air Force came here in person, his horror would be no less than his own.
“Chief, chief, is this something we built ourselves?”
Without waiting for Su Dingping to answer, Xie Zhenyu had already arrived in front of a brand new reconnaissance plane that was all black.
This reconnaissance plane was extremely majestic and tall. It was larger than all the fighter planes he had flown before, and even a little larger than the H-6 he had flown before.
And the shape was obviously different from traditional fighter planes. The fuselage was in the shape of a water drop, but the wings did not look abrupt. The streamlined design showed that the air resistance was very small and had been rigorously tested in a wind tunnel.
It was really a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed, cutting through thorns wherever it passed!
“Hiss!”
Xie Zhenyu couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air, his eyes fixed on the big guy in front of him.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+book_ba first release of this novel
“Okay, let me give you a brief introduction to our high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.”
Su Dingping took a deep breath, pointed at the big guy in front of him, and introduced it seriously, “This Dark Sword No. 1 reconnaissance aircraft, you read it right, it appeared in the CG animation at the end of the previous Air Force recruitment video, because it was already in the final R&D sprint stage at that time.”
“It is a single-seat, twin-engine, high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Its speed is faster than the 0.8 Mach of the Eagle Tribe’s U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and can reach 1.5 Mach speed, with a maximum speed of 2 Mach!”
“Equipped with two improved The J27 turbojet engine is equipped with two air-to-air missiles improved from the Haihongqi 901B, with a range of more than 150 kilometers. “
“With a cruising speed of 1.2 Mach, it also has a certain stealth performance, and the radar cross-sectional area is 0.8 square meters. After exceeding Mach 1, the stealth performance will be reduced by a quarter.”
“You must remember what I said. Of course, it is also introduced in the flight manual.”
Speaking of this, Su Dingping paused for a moment. In terms of stealth performance, the Dark Sword No. 1 does have a lot of room for improvement, and this is the direction of effort.
“Of course, we have not stopped improving and researching stealth, but it will take some time.”
“There are many new technologies in the Dark Sword No. 1. To tell you the truth, more than 75% of them are new to the Air Force and to you. You need to spend some time to understand them in depth.”
“Can you understand?”
Hearing this, Xie Zhenyu straightened his back and said, “Report to the chief, I understand.”
He also knew that there was no such reconnaissance aircraft in the entire Air Force, and it had never been developed before. Even if it was 100% new technology, he understood it.
Taking into account the application cycle, reliability and maturity of new technologies, the international development of new aircraft is usually more cautious in adopting new technologies. The common practice is that the new technology adopted in the newly designed aircraft generally does not exceed 20%.
Otherwise, there will be huge risks, and the risks are still increasing geometrically, and the probability of accidents is still very huge.
“Very good, your flying skills have been verified on the J-10, very superb, and your adaptability is also very strong.”
“But such a high ceiling and such a new fighter are a huge challenge for you. I wonder if you dare to challenge this reconnaissance plane?”
Seeing that the other party was so shocked that he didn’t come back to his senses, Su Dingping couldn’t help but remind him.
Although Ma Zhengbang transferred the other party here, it proved that his flying skills were very superb and recognized by the entire air force. He was an ace pilot, but he still needed to let the other party understand the risks.
This is a brand-new reconnaissance aircraft. It has been tested in various aspects in the military industry forging space and has withstood rigorous tests. However, in real life, this reconnaissance aircraft has not undergone any test flights, which is uncertain for everyone.
To put it more bluntly, Dark Sword No. 1 is currently a pile of cold steel, and it will only get a soul after a test flight.
“You don’t have to answer me right away. I’ll give you three days to think about it.”
Seeing that the other party didn’t say anything, Su Dingping added, “Of course, you don’t have to have any psychological burden. There is something I need to remind you of.”
“Please go ahead, sir.” Xie Zhenyu said quickly.
“The Dark Sword No. 1 is a reconnaissance aircraft developed by me. It has undergone very strict ground tests and its quality is reliable!”
Su Dingping paused for a moment and continued.
“This is the first test, that is, an aerial test to verify the reliability of Dark Sword No. 1. Therefore, I need an ace pilot with rich experience.”
“First flight test, I believe you can understand the importance of it.”
In fact, Su Dingping is not 100% sure that this reconnaissance aircraft will not have any problems. After all, reality is not the forging space of the military illustrations.
Once it disintegrates in the air, it is not like the forging space of the military illustrations, where it can be restored effortlessly and tested again.
In reality, if an accident occurs, it will definitely cause the aircraft to be destroyed and people to die. This kind of accident is very terrifying.
This is why the tribes on Blue Star are very cautious when testing new aircraft. Even so, there are still many test pilots lying in the Martyrs Cemetery in the Flight Test Institute.
The probability of accidents with new fighters is too high. At an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, the air is thin. Even if the personnel are ejected from the cockpit, various problems will occur.
First of all, if the parachute fails to open, the person will fall to death.
In a word, there are too many accidents and too many risks in the test flight. The test pilots are risking their lives and contributing to the finalization of the fighter plane at the cost of their lives.
Because he understands the difficulties of the test pilot industry, Su Dingping never tires of reminding him again.
As an ace pilot, Xie Zhenyu is naturally very clear about the dangers of fighter test flights, especially a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft built with new technology.
In the past, Liu Ye, J-10, and other types of aircraft were tested in the test flight institute, and many accidents occurred.
To this day, he still has comrades lying in the martyrs’ cemetery.
However, since he is here, he will not admit defeat, because he has no way out. If he doesn’t go up, he will replace someone else to test this new type of high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
Xie Zhenyu took a deep breath, took a step forward solemnly, saluted Su Dingping, and said with a serious face: “Report to the commander, I am willing to accept this challenge! It is my duty to test the Dark Sword No. 1!”
“Please approve it!”
Staring at Xie Zhenyu for a while, it would be a lie for Su Dingping to say that he was not moved.
He could see the great spirit of fearlessness and sacrifice revealed on this resolute face, and it was this spirit that constantly inspired generations of people to fight for the great cause.
