Chapter 88 The Monster Unleashed: The Falcon of the Sea
Once the order was given, the entire southern base, like a giant war machine wound up, began to operate at an astonishing speed.
In the shipyard, the steel furnace that had just calmed down began to spew forth raging flames once again.
Countless technicians and workers were drawn from various positions and flocked to the largest final assembly workshop.
Professor Liang, his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, held the "scribbles" drawn by Zhao Di and led a group of experts to refine the drawings overnight.
With the help of the system, the 3D model in Zhao Di's mind was directly converted into tens of thousands of intricate and complex part drawings, which were quickly printed out by the printer.
"Quickly! Titanium alloy skin! Workshop No. 3, start processing immediately!"
"Engines! Bring me two turbojet engines that we salvaged from Big Brother!"
"And that 'divine steel'! Use the rest of it! Make reinforcing ribs!"
Professor Liang's roar echoed through the huge factory, and everyone was working desperately.
No one complained, no one said they were tired.
Because everyone knows that every second they are a second faster means a greater chance of survival for the soldiers on the front lines and a greater hope for the country.
Zhao Di also became the busiest "supervisor".
She rode on Lin Jianguo's shoulders like a little general, weaving through the noisy and chaotic construction site.
Her small hands are like the most precise quality inspection instruments.
"That screw isn't tightened enough, it'll let air in!"
"There are small bubbles in that weld; it needs to be re-welded!"
"That pipe is connected incorrectly, it will explode!"
Every problem she pointed out sent chills down the spines of those experienced veteran technicians.
Because those are the most subtle yet deadly hidden dangers.
Under Zhao Di's "sky eye," this complex and highly technical ground effect vehicle was completed without a single rework; all parts were perfectly formed in one go.
24 hours.
A full twenty-four hours.
When the first rays of sunlight shone through the massive iron gate of the final assembly workshop the next morning.
A grotesque monster, brimming with futuristic and violent aesthetics, silently appeared before everyone.
It is the "Haidongqing".
Its fuselage resembles a flat boat, but it has a pair of wide and short wings extending from both sides.
Below the wings are two huge floats, which ensure its stability on the water.
On its back are two huge turbojet engines mounted side by side, their dark air intakes seemingly capable of swallowing everything.
The entire machine body has a dark blue metallic luster, which is the unique color of "divine steel" and is full of power.
"Dress it up in a flowery dress!"
Zhao Di slid off Lin Jianguo's neck and picked up the paint bucket and brush that had been prepared beforehand.
She and a group of children painted her favorite "camouflage" on the steel behemoth.
It was a blue and white paint scheme that imitated ocean waves and the sky.
Zhao Di thought this looked best.
But in the eyes of military experts, this is the perfect marine camouflage, allowing it to blend into the background when flying at high speed over the sea.
Who was the test pilot?
Zhao Tiezhu looked at the ferocious beast poised to pounce and asked in a deep voice.
"I'll do it!"
A voice rang out.
Lin Jianguo stepped out from the crowd.
He had already changed into a special flight suit and was wearing pilot-specific goggles, making him look dashing and heroic.
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Tiezhu frowned. "You've never flown a plane before! This is too dangerous!"
"Reporting to the Commander!"
Lin Jianguo straightened his back and said, "I've already flown for a hundred hours on the simulator!"
This is, of course, thanks to the system.
Over the past night, the system directly fed all of the "Haidongqing's" flight data and control techniques into Lin Jianguo's mind, just like downloading a file.
He now knows this plane better than any ace pilot in the world.
Zhao Tiezhu looked at Lin Jianguo's unquestionable gaze, then glanced at Zhao Di beside him, who had a look on her face that said, "My dad is the best."
He knew he couldn't persuade them otherwise.
"good!"
Zhao Tiezhu gritted his teeth and said, "I approve!"
"But you better remember this! Your life doesn't just belong to you, it belongs to Zhao Di, it belongs to our entire base!"
"You have to come back to me safe and sound!"
"yes!"
Lin Jianguo saluted, turned around, and strode towards the monster named "Haidongqing".
He jumped into the cramped cockpit and skillfully turned on all the switches.
As he operated the controls, the indicator lights on the dashboard lit up one by one.
"Falcon, requesting takeoff!"
"Takeoff approved!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Jianguo pushed the throttle valve.
"boom--!!!"
The two turbojet engines roared deafeningly, spewing out two long blue tail flames.
The enormous thrust caused this steel behemoth, weighing tens of tons, to begin sliding down the runway.
Faster and faster!
Faster and faster!
It rushed off the runway and plunged directly into the sea, creating huge waves.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
However, the gyrfalcon did not sink.
After gliding a distance on the water, as its speed increased, the "air cushions" under its wings began to function.
The entire fuselage was slowly lifted up by an invisible force.
One meter.
Two meters.
Five meters.
It took flight!
It was like a real falcon, skimming close to the surface of the sea, hurtling forward at a terrifying speed!
"Speed report!"
"Two hundred festivals! Three hundred festivals!"
"My God! It's already over 600 kilometers per hour!"
"The radar cannot lock on! It's just clutter on our radar screen!"
Inside the control tower, the observers gasped in disbelief.
Everyone saw hope.
We saw a glimmer of hope for victory!
Lin Jianguo piloted the "Haidongqing" and performed various difficult maneuvers on the sea.
Sharp turn, climb, dive.
Like an arm controlling a finger, man and machine in perfect harmony.
He felt as if he wasn't piloting an airplane.
Instead, it is about taming a wild, untamed beast that belongs to you.
He pulled the control stick, and the nose of the plane pointed into the distance.
That's the direction where the enemy's carrier strike group is located.
His eyes turned icy cold.
"Eagle, I'm here."
