"Of course! We must send the best pilots here, otherwise we will not be able to test the maximum performance of this fighter jet." An Zhiwei said with certainty.

Huang Zhendong also strongly agrees: "If this fighter jet is equipped to the Air Force, the Air Force will immediately become the most powerful air force in the world.

"Is it really that powerful?" Chief Gu was actually looking forward to it.

Soon, the pilots who came for the test flight arrived at the rolling mill.

As for the application for test flight airspace, these matters have been taken care of by the military, and there is no need for the steel rolling mill to worry about it.

Perhaps the only thing that steel rolling mills cannot make is various aviation fuels.The military directly drove a tanker truck over to refuel the fighter jets.

Originally, the rolling mill also prepared a hangar, but it may not be used.The military decided that after the test flight was completed, it would not return to the steel rolling mill, but land directly at a military airport near Kyoto.

After all, there are still problems with the defense of the steel rolling mill.This is just a civilian factory.Even if the defense force is increased, it will definitely not be as strong as the defense capabilities of military airports.If a spy comes to cause sabotage, the steel rolling mill's defense force may not be able to withstand it.

Xu Yang compiled a manual for fighter jets, which is as thick as a textbook.But currently, for pilots, all they need to do is take off, land, and drive the fighter jet away.Then conduct a series of training for this fighter, and then slowly tap out the performance of the fighter.

Ace pilot Tang Lin was fortunate enough to become the test pilot of this new fighter jet at the steel rolling mill.

"General Manager Xu, what is the name of this fighter jet?" Tang Lin asked.

"Raptors!" Xu Yang said.

Xu Yang directly cut off Jian Shi's name.This fighter is already close to the performance of the J-[-], and is even more outstanding in design than the J-[-].After all, Xu Yang is now a full-level master.

"A very powerful name!" Tang Lin also liked this very domineering name.

"I wish you a triumphant return!" Xu Yang said.

As soon as Tang Lin sat in the cockpit of the Raptor, he felt that it was very different from the fighter jets he had flown before.The design of Da Mao's fighter jets is very rough, and the cockpit is not that comfortable.But the Raptor's cockpit is different, much more delicate in workmanship, and very comfortable.

In addition, the Raptors' instruments seem to be much simpler, and all have Chinese logos.Tang Lin just looked at it once and roughly understood the location of each function switch.

Various buttons, much less combat than the one driven by Tang Lin.Because the combat function is more integrated.Many buttons no longer require the driver to press them one by one, and the fighter will adapt to the specific situation.

Therefore, the entire control panel is much simpler than before.

Additionally, the fighter jet has two advanced-looking screens.Tang Lin knew that one of them should be the display screen of radar scanning.Tang Lin wasn't sure what the other one was.

But when Tang Lin started the fighter according to the instructions, Tang Lin knew what the screen was for.

"Welcome to fly the Raptor fighter jet."

Tang Lin was stunned, what is this?So advanced?

Tang Lin had trained with Damao, but even in Damao's most advanced fighters, such a function could not be seen.

"Tower, the Raptors are all ready, please take off." Tang Lin connected with the tower of the military airport through the communication system.

"Agreed to take off." The tower responded.

Tang Lin controlled the Raptor fighter jet to start taxiing on the runway, accelerating, and the speed increased extremely quickly. In a short period of time, the speed displayed on the main screen had already reached the requirement for takeoff.

The Raptor suddenly raised its head, took off into the air, and flew steadily into the blue sky.

The rolling mill suddenly started to boil.

Regardless of the performance of the fighter aircraft, the rolling mill performed miracles.You know, this fighter jet, even the screws were made by people from the steel rolling mill!

Originally, today's mission was to fly the fighter jet to a military airport, and there was no need to do any tests.

But after controlling the fighter jet to fly into the sky, Tang Lin couldn't put it down.

"Tower, everything on the fighter jet is normal. I'm applying for a series of performance tests." Tang Lin didn't want to land so soon.

"You are allowed to conduct some maximum speed tests. No tricks are allowed. Otherwise, I will kill you when you come back!" Chief Gu's voice came over.

Chief Gu is currently sitting in the command center of the military airport.All instructions issued by the tower must be approved by Chief Gu.

"Mr. Gu, I have a hunch that the performance of this fighter jet is far superior to the one being designed by the aircraft factory. If my hunch is not wrong, there is no need to develop that fighter jet," Tang Lin said.

"Don't talk so much. Otherwise, I'll fly back as soon as possible." Naturally, Chief Gu couldn't let his subordinates discuss such things.Even he wouldn't dare to make such a decision.

The steel rolling mill is really not simple!Chief Gu went to the aircraft factory to see it.But compared with the assembly workshop of the steel rolling mill, it is really lagging behind.Entering the workshop of the steel rolling mill gives you the feeling of entering the factory of the future.

Chapter 139 Create a Record

After getting the permission, Tang Lin began to climb, and the speed continued to increase. After [-] meters, the tower started asking questions.

"Raptor Raptor, what are you doing? I asked you to test the maximum speed. Why are you so high?" Commander Gu regretted that he should not have allowed Tang Lin to test the speed.

"Tower tower, high altitude can avoid interference to civil aviation." Tang Lin replied.

Only at high altitudes can you cause interference to civil aviation.Besides, you are in a military flight zone. Where does the civil aviation come from?How many planes does China have in total?

Chief Gu knew Tang Lin's thoughts very clearly.He didn't bother to say it clearly if it wasn't enough.In fact, he also wanted to know whether this plane could fly to an altitude of [-] meters.

After all, what the Air Force lacks most now is the combat capability at an altitude of [-] meters.Because the previous aircraft could not fly to this height, letting enemy reconnaissance planes come to spy was like flying in your own backyard.Let the Chinese Air Force lose its face.As long as it has fighters of this altitude, the Air Force will be able to wipe out its previous humiliation.

5000 meters.

The flight was still very smooth.

The speed also slowly increased, reaching Mach [-], which is close to the maximum speed of the Air Force's active main combat aircraft.But the Raptor was still very stable, and the plane made no abnormal noise.

Tang Lin slowly increased the height and speed while slowly increasing the speed.

7000 meters.Speed ​​Mach 1.3.

Eighteen thousand kilometers, speed Mach 8.

The altitude is 9 kilometers and the speed is Mach 1.8.

"Raptor, Raptor, how is the situation of the plane now?" Commander Gu started to get a little nervous.

"It's very stable. You can't even feel the vibration of the fuselage. Tower, this fighter is much better than the Lao Liu! It's also much better than the one tested by the aircraft factory. It's very comfortable!" Tang Lin was very excited.

"Raptor, Raptor, pay attention to the condition of the fighter planes, and test the maximum climb height and maximum speed steadily. The priority must be to save the fighter planes!" Commander Gu said.

"Understood!" Tang Lin couldn't contain his excitement.

The altitude increased to 2 meters!This is the first time a Chinese fighter jet has reached a height!

"Tower tower! It's 2.0 meters! It's not the limit yet. But I'm not going to continue climbing. The speed is Mach [-]! I feel like I can continue to accelerate!"

"Raptor, Raptor, that's it. I'm here today and come back to check the status of the fighter plane. Chief Engineer Xu from the steel rolling mill is almost here. Return!" Chief Gu did not let Tang Lin continue to take risks.Twenty thousand meters, Mach 2, this is already a very satisfactory figure for the Air Force.Once the Raptors are incorporated and enemy reconnaissance planes come into the airspace, they will be in trouble!

Chief Gu personally came outside the airport to greet Xu Yang's arrival.

"General Manager Xu, thank you for your great contribution to the aviation industry. Today's test flight was very successful. Come on, go inside. We will fly back soon." Chief Gu held Xu Yang's hand tightly.

Xu Yang took several experienced fitters such as Guo Dapizi and several technicians responsible for the assembly process to form a very strong maintenance team.

The Air Force also has a very capable and experienced technical team.

The technical team on the Air Force side must be more familiar with the maintenance of fighter jets and have rich experience.But the rolling mill's technical team knows the Raptor best.

The technical team on the Air Force side may not even have a thorough understanding of the fighter jet drawings.What's more, the Raptor adopts a new structure that is completely different from previous fighters.

Let the technicians from the Air Force dismantle it and they may not dare to dismantle it randomly.

There is no mechanical arm assistance in the Air Force, so it is really troublesome to disassemble it.But every time there is a test flight, the internal condition of the fighter must be checked.

"Mr. Gu, before the fighter jets are delivered, I think it is better to fly directly back to the steel rolling mill. We have auxiliary disassembly machinery there, and maintenance will be more convenient. Moreover, it will be more troublesome for us to come over. We will have a new test machine there soon. It's being assembled. There aren't enough manpower," Xu Yang said.

"So fast?" Chief Gu was surprised.He thought that the next test machine would take a long time to come out.

"Our subsequent production has not stopped. It is basically a mass production model." Xu Yang said.

"Aren't you worried that if the test flight fails, you will cause huge waste later?" Commander Gu asked.

"Probably not. All our parts interfaces are standardized. Even if there is a problem with the fighter, we only need to make partial adjustments, and not all parts need to be replaced. Moreover, all parts include all parts of the fighter. The materials are all produced by us, and even the loss is only some processing fees. The materials can also be recycled and remade," Xu Yang said.

Commander Gu was stunned when he heard this: "You made everything on this plane yourself?"

"Well, except for the aircraft fuel, which we can't make accidents, we make everything else ourselves. There are also weapon systems. We have reserved the interfaces, and we are equipped with the machine guns, but we cannot make the shells. And we I have designed the air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and possibly even air-to-ship missiles that will be equipped for fighter planes in the future, but the steel rolling mill cannot manufacture them," Xu Yang said.

Chief Gu glanced at Xu Yang: "If you dare to build this, I will really convince you. By the way, you said you have designed the air-to-air missile?"

The domestic air-to-air missile Pili 1 has actually been successfully developed, but its performance is somewhat unreliable, its range is short, and its reliability is poor.Later, a Sidewinder missile left by the enemy was picked up in the territory.

Due to backward technical capabilities, such missiles had to be exchanged for Damao's future air-to-air missile technology.

Fortunately, Damao kept his word this time. After the reverse research and development was successful, he kept his promise and transferred the air-to-air technology to China.Only then did China have its second-generation air-to-air missile, the Thunderbolt 2.

"I tried to design one, but didn't develop it," Xu Yang said.

"In this way, after the fighter aircraft maintenance is completed, I will take you to a place. You give them the design drawings, and they can manufacture the air-to-air missiles." Commander Gu said.

Xu Yang nodded.

The test results of the Raptor fighter jets are surprising.There was almost no damage to the internal structure. It seemed that the inside of the aircraft engine was a little blackened.It may be caused by incomplete combustion of fuel.There's no way to clean this.There are some slight flaws.

"In other words, today's test did not reach the limit of this fighter at all?" Chief Gu asked happily.

Xu Yang nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case. The Raptor's theoretical maximum speed can reach Mach 2.5. The maximum bomb load is ten tons. There are no bombs at all today, so it naturally flies very easily."

Commander Gu was shocked by the ten-ton bomb load. How many cannon shells and missiles must be loaded!Compared with the main combat aircraft currently in service, it is really invincible!

The Sidewinder air-to-air missile that did not explode was obtained at the expense of an excellent pilot.At that time, the air force lagged behind the enemy in terms of fighter jets and weapons.

The enemy on the other side often sends fighter groups into the mainland.Although the F86 fighter jet is very old, it is still difficult for the mainland, which has a very weak air force, to fight against it.

But after the Raptors, if they are equipped with air-to-air missiles with excellent performance, the air force will be even more powerful from now on.If the enemy's military planes dare to come again, they can be kept here for a long time.

Chief Gu was even more anxious than Xu Yang. After the overhaul was completed, he took Xu Yang to a place.

But when Xu Yang handed over the missile design drawings to the other party, the other party said with a sad face: "We can't build this missile. The structural precision inside is too high, and the technical requirements are beyond our standards. Are you really here to beg us?" Are you here to cause trouble?" The person in charge of the military industry looked at Chief Gu and felt that this guy was here to have fun.

"Old Zhou, if you can't make it, just say you can't make it. What kind of status am I now that I'm going to make fun of you?" Chief Gu said disdainfully.

"Are you sure you didn't get the enemy's air-to-air missile design drawing?" Zhou Liansheng, the head of the missile arsenal, suspected that Chief Gu came here deliberately to make fun of him.

"If I got such a blueprint, how dare I just keep it in my pocket? Do you really think I'm as brainless as you?" Chief Gu said dissatisfied.

"If you only need to provide propellant and bombs, can you do it?" Xu Yang asked.

Zhou Liansheng still shook his head: "We don't have gunpowder that can meet these parameters."

However, Zhou Liansheng quickly reacted: "Can you make such a sophisticated missile?"

"How novel. They can even build fighter jets, so what are missiles?" Chief Gu said disdainfully.

"Fighter? What fighter?" Zhou Liansheng asked.

"Ahem, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Chief Gu found that he almost said something stupid.
