Great Power Fighting Falcon

With the assistance of the airline's ground staff, the maintenance team used a crane to lift the two vertical tails, exposing the inner connecting devices and pipelines.

Li Zhan carefully observed their operations without being able to intervene, taking this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the internal structure and deployment of the aircraft. The question he was thinking about was whether the threat could be eliminated through design and mechanical failure nipped in the bud. Aircraft will always have mechanical failures of one kind or another, and the designer's job is to ensure that the probability of aircraft failure is minimized.

After the lever device in the vertical tail was removed, everyone was shocked. Even a half-empty person like Li Zhan could see the seriousness of the situation. The entire lever device was deformed, several nodes were twisted into twists, and the wiring inside the vertical tail, which looked normal on the outside, was a mess.

Yi Xiaoyi felt pain in his head, knocked on his temple and said, "Li Dazui, this vertical tail is hopeless, both of them are hopeless."

Niu Yaoyang checked the connection end and said, "There is no problem in the fuselage, it's just that the vertical tail is broken."

"Replace the whole thing, there is no maintenance value." It was not difficult for Yi Xiaoyi to come to a definite conclusion.

Li Zhan said carefully, "No more rescuing it? The entire external structure is still intact. Can we replace the internal parts?"

Yi Xiaoyi said, "Of course you can, but it will be much more expensive than replacing the vertical fin directly. I suggest replacing the vertical fin directly with a new one, which can save a lot of money."

"Then get a new one." Upon hearing this, Li Zhan didn't hesitate at all.

"Okay, I'll report to the factory and ask them to ship the goods as soon as possible." Yi Xiaoyi hurried over. He knew that Captain Li was nervous for a long time, so he didn't dare to waste a minute.

Mo Yongan, who was chatting with Tang Guozheng in a low voice on the side, saw the whole process and asked with some confusion, "Old Tang, can Xiao Li decide such a big thing as changing the vertical tail in just one sentence?"

It's not that he thinks Li Zhan is unqualified, but that doing so does not comply with the relevant procedures for logistical support. Not to mention a mere battalion-level pilot, even the head of the military agency can't just change him. But just now he saw with his own eyes that Li Zhan and the young leader of the manufacturer's technical team made a repair decision that might be worth millions in just a few words.

Tang Guozheng said, "This aircraft belongs to the manufacturer and is mainly used for actual test flights. The manufacturer trusts Team Leader Li very much. Oh, Xiao Li is the leader of the test flight team. As far as this aircraft is concerned, life or death depends on Xiao Li." Li has absolute decision-making power."

"Oh, it's from the manufacturer." Mo Yongan understood immediately. It would be easier to explain if it was not an aircraft in the military equipment sequence. As for why the manufacturer trusted Li Zhan so much, he thought he could think of the reason.

Li Zhan is the test flight team leader, and he has a great say in whether the aircraft can be successfully delivered to the troops for use. During the acceptance process, if the flight test team leader makes it clear that the aircraft is not perfect yet, then the manufacturer will continue to make changes...

Of course, it would never happen intentionally, but after all, Li Zhan is famous and famous for his ability to "stop babies from crying", so that the manufacturer suddenly found that such a pilot is a god-given treasure - all malfunctions will be there It was revealed during his test flight that this was not the best choice for the manufacturer!

The maintenance work on the left engine oil supply line has begun, but we have to wait for the manufacturer to send aviation engine testing equipment to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the left engine to ensure that there are no problems before it can be reinstalled.

The tail rudder failed due to icing. How did the icing occur? How did the icing cause the tail rudder to get stuck and then affect the entire related structure? These require Zhang Chongming's technical analysis team, manufacturer's technical team, and maintenance support. The three parties will jointly conduct an in-depth investigation and finally form a report and submit it to the aviation department.

And it's possible that the flight controller will send an accident investigation team down.

These matters are beyond Li Zhan's ability to intervene. His task is to wait for the fighter aircraft to be repaired and drive it back to the Zhongnan Field Station to continue the actual test flight.

After seeing everyone busy and finally useless, Li Zhan took off his white labor protection gloves and said with emotion, "Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year? Or is it the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"

"On the second day of the second grade of junior high school, we went to the Forgetting Reef on the first day of the new year. We had a night flight and an air-ground confrontation with the birdcage troops in the early morning of the second grade of junior high school. We set off in the early morning. We are still in the second grade of junior high school." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan was in a daze, "It feels like many days have passed."

"Because you are too focused." Chen Fei said with a smile.

Li Zhan looked around and said, "It doesn't feel like the New Year, maybe it's related to the environment. We've been flying for more than ten hours in two days, right?"

"The time in the sky should be thirteen or four hours." Chen Fei said with a smile, "You have paid for ten thousand rods, are you satisfied?"

Li Zhan was startled, then frowned and said seriously, "Can you not mention the rod fee? Do you know what people outside are saying about us now?"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Chen Fei shrugged, "It is natural to make money based on one's ability. Besides, do those who fly military planes have to be poor to fit their psychological position? Why?"

Li Zhan was surprised, "Hey, you seem to be stimulated?"

"It's not that exciting."

The two of them watched everyone busy around J-16 No. 1616. Chen Fei was filled with emotion and said, "Yesterday, after we returned to Zhongnanchang Station from Forgettable Reef, my relative called me to borrow money, so I guess I am a clan brother. I need to borrow more than 100,000 yuan, but I don’t have enough money to build a house. I just bought a house and can’t afford that much money, so I explained a few words and said that I can have 30,000 to 20,000 yuan. What do you think he said?”

Li Zhan nodded slightly and said, "He must have said, oh, you are a pilot and fly a plane. How can you not have more than a hundred thousand? You earn more than one million a year and you just lent me a hundred thousand. It's not like you won't pay it back, haha." But your clan brother, without me, you would have been bitten by the wolf dog next door when you were a child..."

Chen Fei laughed like crazy, gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's exactly the same."

"You owe your clan brother a ****, please pay it back as soon as possible." Li Zhan said with a smile.

"I'll give you some back!" Chen Fei scolded with a smile.

Li Zhan slowly put away his smile and said seriously, "I also can't understand why soldiers are ganged up on for talking about money? I have thought about this issue for a long time and have come to some conclusions."

"What conclusion?" Chen Fei asked seriously.

Li Zhan suddenly grinned and said, "I carry a gun to protect my family and country and ignore the rumors outside! If you can't even bear this grievance, how can you talk about dedication?"

Chen Fei was in awe.

They are all well-educated soldiers, and they can very well understand the determination and open-mindedness contained in Li Zhan's words.

Chen Fei encountered sophistication in people and Li Zhan was also unavoidable. Li Zhan was more fortunate that he had a father who was very measured and principled in doing things. Calls from relatives and friends never came to Li Zhan, leaving it all to Comrade Li Jianguo. Weigh it. Li Zhan has no idea about money, and the same is true for Chen Fei. To be exact, I have basically never thought about wages and benefits when I was a soldier until now, especially the officers and soldiers of the front-line combat troops.

For combat pilots, to put it bluntly, there is no telling when glory will come, so what do you need money for?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something happy during the Chinese New Year." Li Zhan waved his hands and stopped talking about the military. The problems at home were more difficult for them than flying difficult subjects. He thought for a while and said, "New Year's Eve is here. Nowadays, everyone is not celebrating the New Year well. You said that we are idle now anyway, so why not find some programs and activities that everyone can participate in, so that we can celebrate the Spring Festival by doing it in the evening."

Chen Fei said, "I agree, but what can we do? This is the airport, and that is the construction site."

Suddenly, Li Zhan turned around and strode out. He stood at the door of the maintenance hangar and looked around. It was such a big construction site, and the flight area to the east was also so big.

Slowly, a smile appeared on Li Zhan's lips:

"Let's play something different."

PS: There are two happiest times during the service. The first is when eating, and the second is when wages are paid (202 yuan, which later increased to 302 yuan).
