Scholars in the courtyard

Sijiucheng, aircraft factory.

Full martial law has been implemented on the roads on both sides. The soldiers are three meters apart and are vigilant about their surroundings. Not to mention people or even a bird passing by, they have to shoot down.

In the sky, two J-7s were cruising in the air. From time to time, the pilots could be seen looking outside with serious expressions.

"Captain Xie, the big guy below is our Pegasus?"

"It looks bigger than ours."

"It's a pity that we were just a little short, otherwise it would have been ours."

The wingman's voice came from the microphone. Captain Xie looked away and did not reply immediately. Instead, he went through the data of the aircraft below in his mind.

The Baiju-J-10 fighter is a fighter designed and built by the Red Star Machinery Factory. The entire aircraft is 27 meters long in the front and rear, 6 meters in height, 15 meters in left and right wingspan, and 65 square meters in wingspan. It adopts a new design of double vertical tails.

This type of fighter has two HXJ-01 turbojet engines, so it has a design speed of more than Mach 3 per hour and a maximum ceiling of 25,000 meters.

It adopts a new dynamic structure and can carry four anti-air missiles and two 30mm cannons.

It's like these data are engraved in your mind, and they come to mind as soon as you think about them.

Unfortunately, he is not the one driving now.

"That's called a white horse. A white horse that passes by is not a Pegasus."

Team Xie replied, and then the voice of hip-hop came from the wingman again, "I think it's better to call him Tianma. Tianma has no restrictions."

"Well, this is what I heard from Lao Zhuzi. He also said that calling him Baiju is too quiet, and it is better to call him Tianma."

Captain Xie shook his head after hearing this. As for the old braid the other party mentioned, it was the ground staff who came with them.

He is also an aircraft designer at Shengjing Aircraft Factory. He once helped with test flights. The relationship between the two is very good.

Thinking of this, Captain Xie began to think further.

A month ago, they were transferred from Shengjing. They thought it was a routine transfer, but they didn't expect to meet Chengdu's test pilots after they came here.

Not only that, here he also met test pilots from the Shaanxi and Yan Test Flight Institute, as well as test pilots from Northwest Dingxin and Zhuhai in the south.

You know, many of these test pilots are like him, veritable ace pilots.

Every one of them is the main force of the flight test institute.

But there were more than ten people gathered here, which was definitely a rare thing before.

What's even more rare is that not only test pilots like them are here, but also the ground staff of each test pilot.

If they are responsible for getting the plane into the sky, then these are the people who are responsible for getting the plane into the sky.

Here, he met many older people.

There are many retired ground staff among them.

Even though they are retired, they are still registered at the Flight Test Institute, and they often go to teach. It can be said that everyone here is an intangible wealth.

But with such wealth, what is the purpose of taking out so much at once?

This time, they were a little confused.

Later, during the training camp, they knew what they wanted to do.

So many elites, so many elites, and so much effort, just to test an aircraft.

When they first heard the news, they still didn't understand it.

When it comes to the best test flight venue in the country, their several test flight academies really have to fight to decide the winner.

But everyone knows in their hearts that even if they win, even if they win, the level will not be much different.

So from their point of view, they just want to experiment with an aircraft and just find a flight test institute.

Just like the last operation in Shengjing, wasn't it done by Shengjing?

There are many people who have the same thoughts as him, and besides being curious, they don't think much about it.

But after the first day of training, the general meeting held made them forget about their relaxed thoughts.

It was also that day that they saw the three-dimensional view of the aircraft that was about to be tested and heard the aircraft data reported by the chief.

From that moment on, he loved it.

Especially the top view, the appearance, and the design were all as beautiful as any airplane he had seen before.

From that moment on, he had an overhead view of an airplane taped to his bed.

And there are many people like him.

From that moment on, everyone had a fire in their hearts.

A fire to test.

As a result, they trained harder and their competition became more intense.

Not only must you be familiar with the essentials of operation at high altitudes and high speeds, but you must also learn how to use radar, and you must also be familiar with the various states of the aircraft.

Every project requires them to master it in the shortest possible time.

Then select the one with the best score for each project.

It wasn't until a week ago that the people for the test flight were selected.

Unfortunately, it's not him.

"Okay, don't talk so much. The plane has arrived. It's time for us to get off and change shifts."

"Okay, I'm going to go see the scene."

"Xie Dui, are you going?"

"Nonsense, of course I have to go."

"Haha, it's a pity, Lao Huo and the others were given an advantage."

"Damn, isn't it just that the radar control is better than ours? I'm really not willing to accept it."

swish

The two planes quickly flew to the airport.

At the same time, two more planes took off and continued to serve as security guards.

At the airport, Yang Xiaotao followed the convoy into the airport.

Optimus Prime in front pulled the plane into the hangar, but they turned and came to the control tower.

"This is just a preliminary test flight. If there are no problems, the leader will come back later."

In the armored vehicle, General Peng said to Yang Xiaotao.

Mr. Chen beside him also nodded.

"I think it's all right. As long as it flies up, there will be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao smiled freely, but his fingers were tightly clenched.

Although the plane had been checked with fault scanning glasses, there was no problem.

But this is not an armored vehicle, this is an airplane, an airplane that will fly up.

An airplane that will be operated in the sky.

Even if there are no problems, if the operation is not good, it will be a disaster.

He didn't want the plane that was made with great difficulty to be destroyed because of an operational error.

If he didn't know how to fly a plane, he would have wanted to go up and try it.

But he couldn't say anything, because the selected test pilots were all aces among aces.

At least, they were also the best among test pilots.

Yang Xiaotao could still remain calm on his face, but Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning on the side couldn't hold back any longer.

The two of them were able to follow along, thanks to the attack team.

Even this made Chen Gong full of complaints, saying it was unfair.

But there was no way, except for the three of them, everyone else could only wait for news in the machinery factory.

Including Wu Zhe.

This guy was also crying without tears.

Who made him not from the machinery factory?

When they set off, this guy was still saying it was unfair.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

"Chief, we are here."

The voice of the guard came from the co-pilot, and the car stopped immediately.

The door opened, and Yang Xiaotao and others got off one after another.

When Yang Xiaotao got off, he saw a group of people walking towards this side not far away.

This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The three people hurriedly stood behind General Peng and Old Chen.

"Chief."

Old Huang and Old Zhang led the way, followed by Old Wang and Old Qin.

Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that in addition to the people who had attended the first meeting, there were also several people wearing military uniforms of various colors.

Among them was Old Zhang, who Yang Xiaotao was more familiar with.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning looked serious, but they couldn't stop smiling.

It was worth their trip to see so many leaders here.

When Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone, the greetings between the two sides had ended. They were all acquaintances and there was nothing much to say.

Then General Peng and Chen took the lead to walk to the command tower.

Yang Xiaotao and the other two fell behind and merged into the crowd.

At this time, Qin Lao came over.

Yang Xiaotao looked sideways and stretched out five fingers.

Qin Lao knew what he meant and raised his hand to show five fingers.

Then the two followed him forward.

This scene was seen by Wang Lao behind him, and he immediately became alert.

While entering the door, Wang Lao approached Qin Lao and asked in a low voice.

Qin Lao didn't mean to hide it, and then told him about the bet.

When Wang Lao heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately went to argue with Yang Xiaotao. That was five Mercury machine tools. He was really generous.

But before he could go over, he was stopped by Mr. Zhou from the Sixth Machinery Department behind him. Then there was another round of whispers. Mr. Wang's eyes widened, and then he didn't say anything.

Even if he won, he didn't dare to be happy. If he lost, their Seventh Machinery Department was not as wealthy as the Logistics Department.

In short, winning or losing is not fun, so why join in the fun.

"I guess Lao Qin made this bet to lose."

Mr. Zhou said on the side, and Mr. Wang nodded immediately.

"I think so too, and he can be a good boy in this matter, which is really taking advantage."

At this point, Mr. Wang felt that he had lost.

"If I had known earlier, I would have cooperated with the machinery factory."

"You? Is your Seventh Machinery Department rich?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang tilted his head. He was not as strong as others, so he had to bear it.

"Hello, leaders, I am the commander-in-chief of this test flight, Li Mingyu!"

In front, the middle-aged man in charge of command was reporting to General Peng, and Yang Xiaotao fell behind and listened carefully.

It was the first time I came here, and everything around was new.

However, listening to the other party's report, from terrain to weather, as well as various test instruments, projects, etc., each one was explained clearly.

This made Yang Xiaotao understand how many people were still silently paying for this test flight.

Cabin.

At the moment when the wheels of the aircraft stopped turning, a group of people gathered around.

Some of them were wearing work clothes of various colors and hats of different shapes. Some of them were holding wrenches in their hands, and some were wearing flight suits. Each of them had a variety of expressions on their faces, such as surprise, expectation, and confusion.

At this moment, all eyes fell on the outline of the black cloth.

"Pull it open, all of them!"

A gray-haired old man in the crowd walked in front, and the old people around him also gathered in the middle. He was obviously the commander here.

As the old man fell with an excited voice, the people around him started to take action without waiting for the surrounding staff to take action. 、

"Be gentle, what are you in a hurry for."

The old man watched the black cloth being torn and scolded him, but everyone's actions did not hesitate.

Three seconds later, everyone looked at the fighter in front of them, and their mouths opened wide.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin.

The fuselage was not too long, and the wings were not very wide, but the design of the double vertical tail gave the aircraft a unique three-dimensional feel.

The layout of the two engines side by side on the left and right sides of the fuselage made the aircraft even heavier.

In silence, the behemoth in everyone's eyes was like a warhorse waiting to set off, covered with steel all over, full of this indescribable violent beauty.

The old man stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wings of the plane, but he couldn't reach it even with his feet.

But even so, the old man still tried to stretch out his hand, until he finally came to the landing gear and gently touched the steel, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then the old man ran back again, and after pulling away, he stood on a car and saw the overall picture.

"Good, good, good."

"This is the design, it looks good."

The old man stood on the car and smiled, "Baiju, too quiet."

"Such a domineering plane should be called BMW, it should be called Tianma."

"Tianma is free and unrestrained, and all evil spirits are afraid."

"That's right."

The old man laughed happily.

As for the performance of the aircraft, as a designer for so many years, he has long formed a judgment intuition in his mind.

Some things can be felt good or bad at a glance.

And the plane in front of him, in his opinion, was very good.
