"Wu Tong, be mentally prepared. The planes here are different from those of civil aviation. They are faster!" As an experienced person, Mr. Cheng reminded Wu Tong in advance after getting on 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. Amid the roar, Wu Tong finally understood what Mr. Cheng had reminded him of: what speed meant!
The transport plane had barely glided far when it suddenly soared into the sky. When Wu Tong leaned back due to the huge inertia, he finally understood what it meant to fly a transport plane like a fighter jet. This was a typical example.
She had some understanding that although the new materials she had made made people excited, without good materials and good performance support, they really could not 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' unlimited 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 away, and the desolate and magnificent scenery, which 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 Fa 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 to go around 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 and taking a nap to catch up on his sleep. In comparison, he didn't have the energy of 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 it weren't for the anticipation of watching the J-20's maiden flight, 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 so many times and had even eaten a lot of sand here over the years that the place had long lost its novelty.
However, seeing Wu Tong enjoying the scenery outside the window with fresh eyes, he couldn't help but smile and suggest. He had seen it many times, but this was Wu Tong's first time in 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 visit!" Expecting that he might not have much time to play, Wu Tong shook his head slightly and said, "Just looking here is enough. We 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 scrutiny he received, indicating that this place was unusual.
Lu Xiao was already waiting at the entrance. His tall and graceful figure could be seen from a distance before the car stopped.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Wu Tong, welcome. Thank you for coming 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.
“How can it be hard if you can come and see the maiden flight!” Mr. Cheng got out of the car, his anticipation making him energetic, Wu Tong and Cheng Yi got out from the other side, and the two middle-aged men who came up with Lu Xiao came up to greet him with a smile.
"Wu Tong, I've long admired you. It's a shame we met so late! I finally get to meet you in person!" Lin Zheming smiled and extended his hand to Wu Tong. Seeing that Wu Tong was a little confused, he introduced himself without waiting for an introduction: "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 a detail to Wu Tong.
"Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time. 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 get to 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 get to 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 inspection and password doors make it easy to feel the strict security here. Wu Tong left his luggage at the guard post except for his work computer, and did not bring it in directly.
"Let's have a simple breakfast first and go directly to the control room later!" Lu Xiao made arrangements 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 infinitely warm and moved.
The fighter plane came to a steady stop in front of the runway, and the ground engineer came forward and meticulously performed the final confirmation check. Before taking off, 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 replied 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 Dragon and also did intensive training on the simulator. Now, he finally touched the real 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 this new generation of powerful fighter jets for so long. Once on board, he immediately suppressed his excitement and maintained the basic qualities of a pilot.
Keep your emotions stable and calm, and be prepared to deal with 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.
From the control room, a voice from the Dragon came: "Dragon 01, requesting takeoff!"
"Permitted for takeoff, Weilong 01, prepare to taxi out!" Lu Xiao held the microphone tightly and gave the final order.
"Roger that, Dragon 01 is ready, taxi out! Prepare for takeoff!"
Hope everything goes well!
