Chapter 398: Aspirations but not age
The leaders of Nankong University and the Chengfei inspection team arrived very quickly.
It’s less than nine in the morning.
The motorcade has already entered Wanli Station.
It is estimated that Wanli Station is not too far from Jiangning City, less than 100 kilometers.
Moreover, the transportation between the two places is very convenient, with high speed throughout the journey.
So the inspection team set off from Jiangning after eight o'clock in the morning and arrived at its destination before nine o'clock.
Jiang Chen ‘mingled’ in the welcoming team.
Looking dumbly at the leaders being polite and greeting each other.
The pleasantries are over.
According to the itinerary, the inspection team will spend one morning inspecting all ancillary facilities at Wanli Station.
Including oil depots, towers, hangars, command centers, weather stations, radar stations and more!
Have a lunch party.
The main itinerary in the afternoon is to watch the ‘Flying Stunt Show’.
Watching a 'performance' is actually a way to get a feel for the 'Wang Hai Brigade' and see with your own eyes the true combat effectiveness of the 'Wang Hai Brigade'.
Don’t look at ‘stunt shows’ as just ‘performances’.
There is still a big difference from real combat effectiveness.
However, the inspection team has already learned about the ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ through audio and video materials and other channels.
'Flying stunts' is just one of the channels to learn about it
After all, pilots who can fly planes and perform 'stunts' in the sky should not be much worse in combat effectiveness.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
A few hours flew by.
After lunch
Accompanied by the leaders, the inspection team came to the ‘viewing platform’ not far from the apron.
The flying stunt show
——started
on the runway in the distance.
A total of sixteen Su-30mkk multi-purpose fighter jets were lined up and taxied slowly on the runway.
Although the ‘Elephant Walk’ consisting of sixteen Su-30mkk aircraft is a little shabby, it is not only a courtesy, but also a display of the aircraft model lineup to the inspection team.
At the end of the 'elephant walk', sixteen Su-30mkk aircraft took off in groups of two one after another.
However, it took less than eight minutes for all sixteen planes to take off.
That is to say.
A fighter plane was scrambled in thirty seconds.
Although the viewing quality is average, it attracted frequent nods from the inspection team.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Quick response capability is also an important part of a force's combat effectiveness.
Although the ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ had already prepared.
But to be able to successfully scramble all the troops into battle in just seven or eight minutes, this unit is indeed an elite division.
It's like an open book exam.
But even if some people have ready-made answers, they still can only get zero results in the test.
And some people can get full marks even if they don’t have the answer.
The ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ is obviously the latter.
After the emergency takeoff of a total of eight groups of sixteen aircraft, they first formed a huge fleet in the air, and then slowly flew through the airspace in front of the viewing platform at low altitude and low speed.
The height of the fleet is very low.
Visual estimation is only about thirty or forty meters.
And it’s too close to the viewing platform.
It was so close that everyone in the viewing platform could see the pilot in the cockpit just by looking at it.
Low-altitude clearance
This is the ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ led by captain Wang Zhihe.
Pay tribute to the Chengdu Aircraft Research Team with a ‘low-altitude pass’.
So when the huge fleet of aircraft passed by the viewing platform, a total of thirty-two pilots flying the aircraft invariably raised their right hands and saluted towards the viewing platform.
Jiang Chen was also at the viewing platform
When he saw these sixteen Su-30mkk flying past the front of the viewing platform.
Malicious speculation in my heart
——If someone reaches supersonic speed at this time.
That would be great fun!
Obviously
Although the 'Wang Hai Brigade' is not short of thorns, they are not so thorny as to be as lawless as him.
So Jiang Chen’s ‘malicious speculation’ did not come true.
After expressing the ‘etiquette’.
The real ‘flying stunt show’ finally begins.
Sixteen Su-30mkk either fought each other in the air, or cooperated with each other to perform various stunts.
Everyone was dazzled and excited.
This ‘flying stunt show’ took more than forty minutes to end.
Front row of the viewing platform.
While watching the Su-30mkk multi-purpose fighter jets slowly landing.
Qin Chuan, the leader of the Nanjing Air University in his fifties, turned around, looked at Gao Jianshe, the leader of the Chengdu Aircraft inspection team, and said with a smile, "General Engineer Gao, we are running out of time today, so we're flying There are probably a lot of flaws in the stunts, which will make you laugh.”
Gao Jianshe’s background is quite impressive!
After graduating from a key university more than 20 years ago, he came to Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and engaged in aircraft research and development.
He studied under Chief Engineer Song and was a fellow student with the famous Chief Engineer Yang.
Under the leadership of Chief Engineer Song, a group of their brothers successfully developed Dongda’s first third-generation aircraft - the J-10.
After Chief Engineer Song retired to the second line, he Assisting his junior brother, Chief Engineer Yang, he became the deputy chief engineer of Dongda University’s first stealth fighter, the J-20 Veyron.
It can be said.
Whether it is J-10 or J-20.
Gao Jianshe has poured his heart and soul into it!
It is precisely because of his outstanding contributions in this field that he was not only successfully elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a veritable academician of science and engineering, but also received a special allowance from the 'Government Affairs Council', making him a proper national treasure. . But Gao Jianshe looks ordinary.
Wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses.
It has nothing to do with the imagined image of a ‘elegant scholar’.
On the contrary, he is more like a science guy who works hard!
So when he heard Qin Chuan's words, he slowly pushed the frame and then said, "The performance was wonderful and the confrontation was fierce. The 'Wang Hai Brigade' is worthy of being the most powerful force in the southern sky. ”
“Haha.” Qin Chuan Still politely said, "You are all experts in this field and have a lot of knowledge, so if you really see something, please don't hesitate to criticize and correct me."
"How can we be nothing in the field of controlling fighter aircraft? Expert." Gao Jianshe waved his hand.
The two of them exchanged a few more polite words.
Qin Chuan then said, "Then let's go to the conference room to hold a symposium first, drink tea and chat?"
"The weather is not bad today, but after sitting here for a long time, I always feel chilly. ”
But Gao Jianshe did not stand up.
But turned to look at Qin Chuan and asked, "Mr. Qin."
Halfway through his words, Qin Chuan hurriedly said, "I told you yesterday, just call me Mr. Just Qin.”
"Haha." Gao Jianshe pushed up the frame again and said, "Then you can just call me Lao Gao. It's not a formal occasion. It's weird for us to always address each other by our titles."
" Haha, I think it works..." Qin Chuanlang laughed heartily, and then asked "What did you want to ask just now?"
"I remember that there seems to be a non-staff pilot in the 'Wang Hai Brigade', right? He is the one who flew the J-7E to confront the US military aircraft a few days ago. Today he Did you also participate in the performance?" Gao Jianshe asked.
This question stopped Qin Chuan.
He accompanied the inspection team to Wanli Station.
So he didn't quite know what the arrangements were for the Third Air Division.
Hearing Gao Jianshe's question, Qin Chuan turned his head involuntarily and looked at Zhang Yuan, commander of the Air Force 3rd Division, who was sitting behind him.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said, "Report to the two leaders that he did not participate."
Gao Jianshe smiled and said, "Oh? Is he still in confinement?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "No."
Finished.
He turned his head and swept around behind.
Then he said loudly, "Jiang Chen."
The last row.
Jiang Chen heard someone calling him.
He quickly stood up, put his feet together, stood upright, and said loudly, "Here we come!"
Everyone turned around.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on his young and handsome face.
Zhang Yuan waved to him, "Come here."
Jiang Chen did not dare to neglect and trotted to the podium.
He stood up straight in front of several senior leaders, and then saluted, "Report, Jiang Chen, a student of the 2013 class of the Air Force Aeronautical University's School of Flight Technology, reports."
Qin Chuan looked Jiang Chen up and down.
Then he smiled and said, "I heard that you claimed to be from Nan Kong some time ago. Why do you emphasize that you are still a student now?"
Jiang Chen is busy. He said, "Chief, the situation was urgent at that time. I also It's a last resort."
"Haha." Qin Chuan smiled and said, "You saved more than a hundred lives, so let alone pretending to be a pilot, even if you pretend to be me, I won't. Opinions.”
"This is Chief Engineer Gao, the leader of the Chengdu Aircraft inspection team. Chief Engineer Gao is also the deputy leader and deputy chief designer of the J-20 project team. He saw the video of your confrontation with the US military aircraft, so he is very interested in you. ” Qin Chuan introduced.
Jiang Chen quickly looked at Gao Jianshe.
Raise your hands and salute.
Gao Jianshe waved his hand towards him and then said, "You are young and promising. You are indeed younger than I thought."
"General Engineer Gao, you are ridiculous." Jiang Chen is 'sincerely frightened'.
"This is not to praise you, but to state a fact." Gao Jianshe said, "However, the video released by the Mi Army was intermittent and not very enjoyable to watch. I happened to meet you here today. I don't know if we have this honor. Do you want you to give us another review?”
“Huh?”
Jiang Chen was a little surprised.
Director Gao is going to...
Watch yourself fly?
"What, are you having difficulty?" Gao Jianshe looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a smile.
Jiang Chen quickly shook his head, "Report, there is no difficulty."
But even so.
His eyes secretly glanced at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan saw this.
He immediately laughed and scolded, "Look what I do. The leaders want to test your skills, but it's your honor. Why don't you go get ready and show your skills to the leaders?"
"Yes." !”
Jiang Chen took the order, turned around and ran towards the flight briefing room.
Qin Chuan looked at Jiang Chen who had run away.
He turned to look at Gao Jianshe and asked, "What, you like me as a soldier?"
"Although he is not old, he is extremely talented and bold and careful. He is indeed a talent." Gao Jianshe's answer was very vague, but his words were full of praise for Jiang Chen.
Qin Chuan saw this.
Can't help but frown slightly, "This kid is indeed a talent, but if he really wants to be a test pilot, it's a bit counterproductive. He is only eighteen years old this year."
Zhang Yuan also looked at Gao Jianshe nervously.
It seems that he is afraid that the good seedling in his crop field will be taken away by Gao Jianshe.
"You are more ambitious than you are young." Gao Jianshe laughed.
I picked up the telescope again and cast my sights on the Yonggu Hangar in the distance.
At this time.
A commuter bus was slowly pulling a J-7E out of the Yonggu hangar.
