Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2159 Thunder
"Hello, Chief!"

As the square-faced man approached, Mr. Wang quickly trotted over, raised his hand and saluted with a solemn expression.

The square-faced man raised his hand in return, glanced at everyone, and then nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see the real stuff!"

The clanging sound rang out all around, and everyone immediately became solemn.

"Chief, please come this way!"

The pressure in Mr. Wang's heart suddenly increased, and he immediately stretched out his hand to guide him to the stage.

The square-faced man strode forward, but when he passed the crowd, he suddenly stopped and looked at everyone.

"Which one is Yang Xiaotao from the machinery factory?"

As the voice fell, the people around immediately turned their eyes over.

Yang Xiaotao immediately straightened his clothes and walked quickly forward.

"Report to the chief!"

"I'm Yang Xiaotao from the machinery factory!"

The voice is equally loud.

The square-faced man heard the voice, glanced over, and suddenly a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Good, young and promising, not bad!"

"Follow me up!"

Leaving behind a word, the square-faced man continued to walk up.

Behind him, Yang Xiaotao felt his heart pounding and his hands clenched unconsciously.

It was just a simple compliment, not even worthy of a compliment, but it made him feel lucky.

There was a tremor in my chest.

Then Xiaowei's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"Master, this man is so fierce!"

"Be fierce, that's right!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao quickly followed.

Xiaowei fell to the ground and quickly moved away.

Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang and others looked at each other, all of them were confused.

This person cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.

There are not many young people who can be praised by him.

Without thinking too much, they quickly followed.

Behind him, Han Sanfeng poked Ran's father, "Old Ran, don't just stand there, hurry up!"

Father Ran came to his senses, nodded and walked upstairs.

Thinking about my son-in-law's abilities, perhaps he deserves to be called a promising young man.

Yang Xiaotao followed the old man and was in a very good mood.

He didn't know that because of his small butterfly wings, many people had already escaped the destiny trajectory of their original time and space.

Some people have escaped from suffering.

Some people, however, received retribution.

Perhaps, it is the law of nature that the regrets of the previous life are made up in this world by the butterfly Yang Xiaotao!
A group of people came to the viewing platform, and then the square-faced old man picked up the telescope on the table, raised his left leg and stepped on the stool, rested his left elbow on it, and looked directly at the launch site not far away.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little regretful. He should have brought the camera earlier.

"What's going on now?"

The square-faced man did not move his eyes away, still looking at the missiles on the launch vehicle below.

At this moment, everything is done, the on-site personnel have been evacuated, and all observers are in place.

Qian Lao came up to him and said, "Commander, we have improved the internal structure of the missile..."

"According to our design, the new missile will have a faster speed and longer working time."

As Mr. Qian explained, the square-faced man put down the telescope and stood up straight.

"You know what? Just yesterday, those guys came to show off again, and this time they tried to outdo us."

"Any idea what this means?"

"It means that our incompetence has fueled their ambitions and made them have dreams they didn't dare to have before."

"And all this."

The old man glanced at everyone present and said, "It's all our responsibility."

“It is a responsibility we cannot bear.”

Everyone's breathing slowed down, and even Yang Xiaotao, an outsider, felt a heaviness on his shoulders, as if a lock had fallen from the air, making it hard to breathe.

“Originally, we had a jade plan.”

"But Lao Liu said you guys have made a new breakthrough, so I came to take a look."

At this point, the old man looked at Mr. Wang who was quietly waiting on the side, "I hope you won't let me down."

Elder Wang took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Commander. We never fight a battle without confidence."

"Please believe in us, because we are trustworthy."

"Okay, that sounds encouraging."

"But I don't want words, I want missiles that can shoot down planes."

"Experiment as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The old man responded and then just stood there waiting.

When others saw this, they didn't dare to sit down. A group of people stood on the platform at the back, waiting for the missile test launch in front.

Soon, Father Ran received news from below that all departments were ready, so he walked up to Elder Wang and reported, "Chief, the preparations have been completed."

"What's the situation around here?"

"We have comrades within a ten-mile radius to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"it is good."

Wang Lao responded and then came to the old man, "Report to the commander, everything is ready, please fire."

The old man didn't even move his head. "Begin."

"Yes!"

Mr. Wang came to the side and immediately picked up the phone to direct the vehicle.

After the call was disconnected, everyone immediately focused their attention on the test site, holding missiles one by one.

Mr. Qian came to the side to give an on-site explanation.

"The launch method is the same as the previous Hongqi, but because we use a new engine instead of a liquid engine, we save on pre-design preparation work."

"Such a design ensures that the missile can be put on the launcher after being pulled out of the silo."

“The stress time is greatly shortened.”

As Mr. Qian was speaking, the missiles below had already begun to ignite, and the orange-yellow flames were clearly visible in the daytime.

"The solid fuel engine is now activated. We use it."

Everyone looked up at the sky. After about three seconds, the missile in the air suddenly dropped a section, and then suddenly accelerated in front of everyone's surprised eyes. Compared with the forward speed, it was as if it suddenly accelerated from a stationary state.

"After the solid engine is used, it no longer provides power to the missile, so we use self-destructing bolts to make it fall off and reduce the remaining burden."

"The beam of light you see now is the turbojet ramjet we are using in action. The missile can continue to accelerate with this engine."

As Qian Lao spoke, his eyes followed the missile until the missile became a small black dot in his sight. Then he continued, "Because the new engine is half the weight of the original liquid engine and carries more fuel than before, the missile's range is longer than before."

"This also means that it will take longer to receive radar guidance."

Yang Xiaotao looked up with a telescope and could only see the missile's tail flame, with a thick column of white smoke left in the sky.

The others were also waiting and watching, trying to find any trace of the missile.

Soon, the missile that was about to disappear from sight suddenly changed direction and flew to the side.

Yang Xiaotao looked down at the time and saw that thirty seconds had passed.

Originally, Ran's father had mentioned to him that the red flag could only fly in the air for about twenty-eight seconds. Now it seems that this time should be able to be broken.

I just don't know how long I can last.

Everyone noticed this situation, and many began to count the time in their minds, while some even looked down at their watches from time to time.

"Commander, since there is no target, we will self-destruct before the missile loses power."

Qian Lao spoke again, and the old man nodded, "We must ensure the safety of the people around us."

Mr. Qian nodded, and then they waited together.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao saw that the time had reached forty seconds, and he felt that the alarm was about to ring.

Sure enough, when he looked for the self-destructive Director Wang in the crowd, he was long gone.

At this time, in the control room, Director Wang kept listening to the reports from the people around him, and the trigger device in his hand was covered with sweat.

"Director, the missile's acceleration is no longer increasing and is slowing down."

"Continue to observe."

"Director, the missile has slowed down."

"What's the speed now?"

"Mach three and a half."

Someone reported a piece of data, and then everyone in the control room was surprised.

"Director, the speed has slowed down significantly, and the tail flame is getting smaller."

"Everyone, please be alert. Activate the self-destruct sequence."

"preparation."

"Do it."

Following Director Wang's order, the other two people in the control room pressed the button with him.

At this moment, a ball of sparks suddenly appeared from the missile that had been flying in the air for nearly a minute.

After waiting for a while, everyone heard the sound of an explosion.

Yang Xiaotao was sure that the sparks from the explosion were not pretty at all.

Especially in the daytime, you only see a ball of something explode, and then see sparse fragments falling from the sky.

Seeing this, everyone remained silent and just waited quietly.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian were a little anxious, fearing that the results would not be satisfactory.

Yang Xiaotao stood beside the old man and clearly saw a hint of expectation on his face.

"Chief, the data results are out."

Suddenly, Ran's father ran up from below with a copy of experimental data in his hand.

Mr. Qian hurried forward to take it, then turned around and took a look at the data with a smile on his face.

Seeing this smile, Mr. Wang's heart suddenly dropped.

"Chief."

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Yes. After the missile was accelerated, its maximum flight speed was Mach 3.5, and its hovering time was 69 seconds, of which 48 seconds were spent at the highest speed."

Papapa

Bang bang bang bang
The old man was the first to applaud after hearing this, and then Mr. Chen and others also raised their hands.

Mach 3.5, duration for 48 seconds, which is higher than the missiles currently equipped.

Even stronger than Sam II of the Alliance.

Judging from this speed and time, dealing with the situation in the south should be easy.

Applause broke out from the podium, and then spread to the people in charge of the experiments further away.

"How lethal is this missile?"

The old man asked with concern, and Qian Lao immediately looked at the data at the back, "The missile is flying at a high altitude, and the initial estimated killing radius is about 300 meters."

"Three hundred meters, good."

"If three missiles approach at the same time, within a radius of one thousand meters, let's see how they run."

The old man raised his hands and waved them fiercely in the air.

The people around were also greatly encouraged, and Mr. Wang even shook hands with Mr. Qian. They did not let him down this time.

"Does this missile have a name?"

The old man suddenly asked, and both Wang and Qian shook their heads. Wang even said, "We used the engine numbers to name them before."

"What number?"

Mr. Wang glanced at Yang Xiaotao standing beside him and said, "It's HXD-1!"

Yang Xiaotao quickly came over and explained the meanings of the letters. The old man laughed and said, "It sounds like this is a series."

After hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately said, "Yes, the previous aircraft engine is J-1, and the gas turbine behind it is called C-1, but the letters in front are all Red Star Machinery Factory."

At this point, everyone started laughing.

Among the crowd, Yang Youning had the happiest smile.

"Commander, this is just a code name. It doesn't count."

Yang Xiaotao quickly explained, "Just like our machine tools, they also have a numerical code, but they still have their own unique names."

"Code names are circulated among us, but all people know are their names."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao winked at Wang Lao, who immediately understood, "Commander, Xiaotao is right. It's a bit awkward to say D-1."

"Why don't you help me come up with a name?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Laogao in their hearts. They admired his flattery.

The square-faced man shook his head after hearing this and said, "I can't name you, but I can give you a name."

Everyone was confused after hearing this. What did this mean?
Then I heard the square-faced man say seriously, "When I went to report on my work a few days ago, we talked about Mr. Lu Xun in the study."

"During this time, I was deeply touched by Mr.'s 'Hearing thunder in silence'!"

"Knowing that I was coming here today, I hope that our thunder can explode loudly, shock the world, and eliminate the evildoers."

At this point, everyone's faces turned serious.

The old man then said, "So, it's called Thunder."

"Thunder!"
