Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

That night, many people probably didn't sleep well. After all, the test flight the next day was of great significance. However, for everyone, not sleeping well didn't matter, as long as Lei Zi could sleep well.

Whether Lei Zi slept well or not, nobody saw. However, the next day, when Lei Zi came out wearing a full set of flight gear, everyone saw that Lei Zi was full of energy.

"Lei Zi, how did you sleep last night?" Qin Yang asked.

"Very well," Lei Zi said, "I slept soundly until dawn and didn't have any dreams."

"Yes, Lei Zi slept so well last night that the entire corridor could hear him snoring," another accompanying pilot said.

This landing was very important. Therefore, not only would Lei Zi take off, but a J-6 trainer would also accompany him. In the rear cockpit of the J-6, there was also someone with a camera to record the entire process, so that if anything unexpected happened, it could be analyzed to see how to improve.

Everyone laughed.

Lei Zi, carrying his helmet, came to Old Liu.

"Report, Old Liu, Lei Zi is fully prepared, please instruct!" Lei Zi shouted loudly.

"Depart! Be serious and careful, bold and steady!"

"Yes!" Lei Zi strode towards the J-11 fighter jet that had been maintained long ago. The ground crew followed to help. The canopy was closed, and Lei Zi had completed all the preparations.

There was no one in the back seat.

As a two-seat fighter, the back seat is equipped with a radar operator. However, this was not an air combat, but only training, and it was still very dangerous. Therefore, after careful consideration, the radar operator was not allowed to go up this time.

Without a radar operator, the front cockpit could eject directly in case of danger. If there was a radar operator, the radar operator would have to eject first, which would delay the pilot's escape time. Therefore, the radar operator did not insist and let Lei Zi fly alone. At this time, watching the fighter slide towards the take-off point, everyone's breathing became rapid.

"He doesn't let go of any take-off opportunity," Qin Yang said, watching Lei Zi slide towards the ski-jump take-off point.

Even though this time was to test the landing, Lei Zi still had to use the ski-jump take-off method. After all, every take-off is valuable, and it's good to have one more opportunity to practice.

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Old Liu nodded: "Yes, he won't let go of any opportunity. We still have too few fighter jets. When we have trainers in the future, we can carry out a lot of training."

Now there are few opportunities, but in the future, it won't matter.

"Yes, trainers are really necessary."

While speaking, the two engines of the J-11 fighter roared. Lei Zi had already turned on the afterburner and released the brakes. The engine pushed the fighter, roaring towards the ski-jump deck, and soared into the air.

On the other side, the J-6 trainer took off smoothly, and then turned three times according to the predetermined route, staying in the landing area to wait.

Lei Zi piloted the J-11, circled in the air, and also aimed at the runway. At this time, in the landing area, everyone cast their expectant eyes.

This is dangerous, so everyone can't get too close. Even if there is no problem with the fighter, if the arresting cable is broken, this thing will sweep across like a whip. If it is swept by it, it will be either dead or injured.

"Where is President Qin?" Just as everyone moved to the landing area, someone suddenly shouted. President Qin suddenly disappeared! What's going on?

Old Liu reacted and looked in a certain direction. Needless to say, he must have run to the front!

Next to the Fresnel lens, there is a special position for the landing signal officer. After Qin Yang came over, he left everyone and secretly ran to the landing signal officer's position to see clearly from here.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Qin Yang ran over. Now, no one can stop him.

If it were the experienced American military, experienced carrier-based aircraft pilots would be in this position to act as landing signal officers, using their experience to guide the landing of carrier-based aircraft and provide various commands.

But now, the East has no relevant experience and can only explore. At this time, in the place of the landing signal officer, is Guo Lin, the leader of the Eastern Test Flight Brigade. His eyes are looking in the direction of the J-11 flying, with composure on his face.

"Lei Zi, in good condition, keep it up!"

"Lei Zi, continue to stabilize!"

Lei Zi piloted the fighter and continued to descend. From his perspective, the landing area was very small and was rapidly expanding. The fighter was almost crashing onto the deck. At this time, people would have a natural fear.

If you can't overcome this fear, you can't become a qualified carrier-based aircraft pilot. There are also such unlucky guys who, after training, are qualified to land on the ship, but they are afraid, and finally they can only leave this position.

Now, Lei Zi is gritting his teeth and continuing to descend.

Fear is human instinct, but it must be overcome. Only by overcoming this instinct can you succeed!

The fighter is continuing to descend, his eyes are fixed on the Fresnel lens landing aid. As long as he can ensure that the light he sees is correct, he can land normally.

The deck is getting bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger.

Lei Zi carefully adjusted the fighter's attitude. Every time he adjusted, he could feel the fighter swaying left and right. From the landing signal officer's perspective, the fighter could be seen swaying left and right, making people worried.

"Come on, Lei Zi!" Even Qin Yang squeezed a sweat. Although he can't fly, he also knows how risky this landing is, especially for the first time.

Watching the fighter shake back and forth, Qin Yang's heart also rose to his throat. This fighter is good in everything, but it is difficult to adjust. This swaying left and right seems to be able to directly rub the ground.

Clang!

The landing gear slammed heavily on the simulated deck, and then the hydraulic device began to cushion. Visibly, a large section of the landing gear's hydraulic cylinder went in.

This moment is the time to test the performance of the landing gear!

The aircraft's landing gear is a thin-walled structure, a small cylinder inserted into a large cylinder, with hydraulic oil inside to cushion, similar to the shock absorption of a motorcycle, but the pressure it has to withstand is greatly increased. The moment the landing gear just fell, it withstood a force of hundreds of tons!

If there is no suitable material, it will not be able to withstand such a strong impact. Thanks to the 960 factory having advanced tens of thousands of tons of hydraulic presses, it can manufacture this component.

The materials needed for this landing gear are no worse than those of a large aircraft. A large aircraft lands smoothly, while this aircraft is directly smashed down. Although the tonnage is small, the force it withstands is very strong.

If the material is not qualified, it will break at that moment. This landing gear can block the road for countless countries' self-developed carrier-based aircraft.
