Chapter 155 Test Flight
"Wu Tong, be mentally prepared. The planes here are different from civil aviation. They are faster!" As an experienced person, Mr. Cheng reminded Wu Tong in advance after boarding the transport plane.
It was said to be ten minutes, and it was exactly ten minutes. Wu Tong and the other two had just boarded the plane and sat down, taking safety precautions, when the transport plane started up. Amid the roar, Wu Tong finally understood what Cheng Lao reminded him of, what speed meant!
The transport plane had hardly glided far when it suddenly soared into the sky. When Wu Tong leaned back due to the huge inertia, he finally realized what it meant to fly a transport plane like a fighter jet. This was a typical example.
She had some understanding that, although those individuals were excited about the new material she had made, without good material and good performance support, it would not be able to withstand the passionate and exciting play of these flying elites!
I feel like she should work harder, research and design stronger materials, and create fighter jets with better performance so that the fighter jets can fully fulfill the pilots' infinite imaginations!
Two hours later, the transport plane landed at a military airport in Xizhou.
At the same time, there was already a jeep waiting on the side. The three people who got off the plane got into the waiting jeep at a fighting speed. The jeep was speeding, and the desolate and magnificent scene that was very different from that of Beijing came into view.
The morning sun rises from the desert horizon, casting a shadow on the yellow sand on the ground, which is a majestic and magnificent sight.
It was Wu Tong's first time to come to such a place. She had exhausted all her energy after a sleepless night. As the morning light shone through the window, the Chaoyang Purple Qi Technique started to work quietly and spontaneously, replenishing and nourishing Wu Tong's energy. She looked at the scenery outside the car window with great interest.
"Do you like it here? After watching the maiden flight, ask Lu Xiao to arrange a guide for you when you have time. You can't stay bored in school every day. Seeing more people will broaden your horizons and trigger more fresh ideas!" Cheng Laoben was lying on his side to take a nap to catch up on his sleep. In comparison, he didn't have as much energy as young people.
He was overly excited after receiving such exciting news yesterday, and got up extra early today. He didn't get enough rest and felt a little tired.
If he wasn't looking forward to watching the first flight of the J-20, the most comfortable thing for him right now would be to find a comfortable bed and fall into a deep sleep. He had been to Xizhou too many times and had eaten a lot of sand here for several years, so he no longer felt fresh about this place.
However, seeing Wu Tong admiring the scenery outside the window with fresh eyes, he couldn't help but smile and suggest. He had seen it many times, but it was Wu Tong's first time to visit Xizhou, so it was naturally different.
"No, teacher, I have to take care of things first. When I'm done with my work and I'm on vacation, I'll come and have a look!" Expecting that he might not have much time to play, Wu Tong shook his head and said, "It's enough to just take a look. You don't have to visit any tourist attractions!"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Institute 606. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary factory and there was no sign that it was an extremely important research center.
However, from the moment he approached, Wu Tong could feel the several scrutiny he received, indicating that this place was unusual.
Lu Xiao was already waiting at the entrance. His tall and slender figure could be seen from a distance even before the car stopped.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Wu Tong, welcome. It's hard for you to come here so early in the morning!" As soon as the car stopped, Lu Xiao immediately stepped forward to greet them and personally opened the car door for Mr. Cheng.
"Why should it be hard if you can come and see the first flight!" Mr. Cheng got out of the car, and the anticipation made him refreshed. Wu Tong and Cheng Yi got out from the other side, and the two middle-aged men who came up to greet Lu Xiao smiled.
“Wu Tong, I’ve long admired you. I’m so sorry we didn’t meet earlier. I finally get to meet you in person!” Lin Zheming smiled and held out his hand to Wu Tong. Seeing that Wu Tong was a little confused, he introduced himself without waiting for anyone to introduce him: “I’m Lin Zheming from the Aviation Group!”
"The general manager of the Aviation Group is the one who approves your funds!" Mr. Cheng added some details to Wu Tong.
"Mr. Lin, I have long admired you. Thank you for your trust and entrustment!" Wu Tong reacted immediately, returned the greeting and shook hands, expressing his sincere gratitude.
"Wu Tong, I finally see you in person!" As soon as Yang Wei opened his mouth, Wu Tong immediately recognized his voice and shook hands with Yang Wei with a smile: "Chief Engineer Yang, I finally see you too!"
Everything is implied.
After some greetings, Lu Xiao led the group inside.
The 606 Institution may look inconspicuous, but after entering, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The layers of checks and password doors make it easy to feel the strictness of the place. Wu Tong brought his work computer and his luggage, which he left at the guard post, and did not bring them in directly.
"Let's have a simple breakfast first and then go directly to the control room later!" Lu Xiao said while tilting his head. It was inconvenient for Wu Tong to show up in front of others.
From the moment they entered the door, they centered themselves around Master Cheng, and Wu Tong followed beside Master Cheng. With Master Cheng around, others would only think that Wu Tong was just a student who followed Master Cheng to gain some experience, and would not pay too much attention to Wu Tong.
At 8:30 in the morning, everything was ready. Lu Xiao led Cheng Lao, Wu Tong, Lin Yongming and Yang Wei to the control room. As Lu Xiao's instructions were conveyed, the final inspection began.
The hangar door slowly opened, and through the glass of the control room, one could see a dark gray steel eagle slowly sliding out of the hangar. Its smooth lines, sharp nose, and flamboyant wings were like a miracle unfolding before everyone's eyes.
It shows one thing to everyone: China's fourth-generation aircraft has been born!
Just standing there with such dignity makes people feel warm and moved.
The fighter plane stopped steadily in front of the runway, and the ground engineer came forward and performed a meticulous final confirmation check. Before takeoff, every detail must be paid attention to and no mistakes can be made.
The engineering vehicle withdrew with the inspectors and equipment, and the pilot boarded the plane.
"Weilong 01, check the mask safety valve!"
"Everything is normal!" The pilot responded clearly to Lei Ming after strictly following the standards.
Before this, as an ace pilot, after receiving the test flight order, he continued to train for the test flight of the Power Dragon and did intensive training on the simulator. Now, he finally touched the real Power Dragon.
Before boarding the plane, he was filled with excitement, grateful for the country's trust in him and the honor of carrying out this mission. They had been waiting for too long for the new generation of powerful fighter jets. After boarding the plane, he immediately suppressed his excitement and maintained the basic qualities of a pilot.
Keep your emotions stable, remain calm, and be prepared for any emergencies.
"Weilong 01, atmospheric pressure weather!"
"Air pressure..., weather..., everything is normal!"
"Weilong 01, adjust tire pressure!"
"Adjusted to optimal takeoff condition!"
·····
Finally, after a complicated series of pre-takeoff confirmation checks.
In the control room, a voice came from the Weilong: "Weilong 01, request to take off!"
"Permission to take off, Weilong 01, prepare to taxi out!" Lu Xiao held the microphone tightly and gave the final order.
"Roger that, Dragon 01 is ready, start taxiing out! Get ready for takeoff!"
Hope everything goes well!
