Chapter 216: Test is over, please return home
The workers in the factory and the guards on duty were all looking up; some were cheering and some even climbed up to the top of the wall to see farther. Their eyes followed the fighter jets quickly upwards until they reached the high sky and asked the heavens.
On a military vehicle near the institute, two elderly looking men were gazing at the sky with binoculars following the trajectory of fighter jets.
There were other soldiers around who were on high alert, including Qin Qingfeng and the team members he specially selected from Song Yanzhou and his team.
They were all fully armed and on guard in all directions.
While taking off, Qi Yu and Qi Zhihua reported the fighter's conditions, altitude and other issues that needed to be reported to the command room one by one.
Suddenly, Qi Zhihua saw an indicator light flashing, and he immediately looked forward and soon discovered something unusual. At this time, the fighter jet had not yet risen to the altitude it should have reached.
"We have spotted a large flock of birds ahead. We can no longer avoid them."
This place is far away from human settlements. Even if guns are fired to scare away the birds, there is no guarantee that the hidden danger will be completely eliminated. If it cannot be avoided, the only option is to crash into it, and it is very likely that the aircraft will be severely damaged. In more serious cases, the aircraft may be destroyed and people may die.
Of course, the safety measures in the cockpit are very good, and they can also look for a suitable opportunity to parachute immediately to ensure their own safety.
But both of them had the same thought in their hearts, this fighter plane was too good, even if it was equipped with a flock of birds, they could not just abandon the fighter plane and leave.
The cost of manufacturing fighter jets is huge, and they must do their best to protect the country's assets.
What's more, it is a new type of fighter. The moment it was started, they felt the superiority of this fighter, and they felt it even more after flying high in the sky.
Such a fighter jet must not be given up easily no matter what!
At this time, Song Yanzhou had just arrived at the command room, and Mr. Xu had just finished arranging what Song Yanzhou was going to do. Upon hearing this, Ye Mu snatched the notebook and pen from Song Yanzhou's hand, and her brain had already quickly analyzed the situation.
Her experience in piloting mechas and starships allowed her to quickly judge their current situation from Qi Zhihua's words, plus she had already learned other details about the fighter jet.
Ye Mu quickly drew an analysis chart on the paper and said:
"13021, obey orders and follow my instructions."
The situation changed rapidly, but when Ye Mu introduced the fighter jet to the two of them, Qi Yu and Qi Zhihua admired her very much, knowing that she knew a lot about this fighter jet.
At this moment, Qi Zhihua and Qi Yu answered without hesitation, just as they did before takeoff: "Got it!"
Then Ye Mu made a series of instructions. She spoke very quickly, directing Qi Yu to perform each driving operation. Qi Zhihua would report the condition of the aircraft and the flock of birds ahead at any time.
Qi Yu was so focused that he had no time to think about anything else and followed Ye Mu's every instruction.
Just as the fighter jet and the flock of birds were approaching each other rapidly and were about to collide, the fighter jet suddenly became extremely agile, and flew in an extremely skillful manner, with its body tumbling in the air and sometimes turning in a serpentine manner, bypassing them even faster than the birds could react, and at such a fast speed that it was completely invisible.
There was even some distance between the flock of birds and them, so they did not collide.
After successfully avoiding the flock of birds, Ye Mu's voice remained calm. This accident did not seem to make her feel thrilling.
Song Yanzhou had his notebook taken away from him. Looking at the incomprehensible symbols she drew on the paper, he couldn't take his eyes off her as he saw how she was always confident and calm.
He didn't quite understand any of her instructions, but after Ye Mu finished speaking, Qi Yu's voice soon reached their ears:
"I'm Qi Yu. I've successfully avoided the flock of birds. Please give me instructions."
Mr. Xu was extremely surprised. When he heard Ye Mu give a series of instructions with such confidence, he knew that Ye Mu could do it!
Chen Yanzhi glanced at Ye Mu, a little bit unbelievable. She was not even in the fighter jet, but she could actually judge the situation the fighter jet was encountering and then command them to quickly avoid the flock of birds?
Song Yanzhou thought it was natural. From the moment Ye Mu said "follow my instructions", he vaguely guessed the ending.
As she once said, she should be a variable, not a constant.
He believed her words without a doubt.
However, the record book should be returned to him.
He took his notebook back and continued with what Mr. Xu was recording.
Although Ye Mu was confident, she was also relieved. She was glad that she had the ability to command, but she was also a little worried that Qi Yu and the others would not be able to keep up with her. If there was no tacit understanding, she could only ask them to prepare for an emergency landing or abandon the plane and parachute.
As for why he could make plans in the command room thousands of miles away, it was naturally because he had fought too many space battles and air battles in the stars.
Whether it is actual combat or simulated combat within the system, it can provide excellent training.
Before she had her own ideals, her teacher's requirement for her was to become a qualified weapons designer, preferably one who could inherit her teacher's title as the top interstellar weapons designer.
A weapons designer must not be without combat capability; this was her teacher's standard.
Naturally, she did it perfectly and surpassed her teacher's double A. Her mental strength later reached S. Even though she was not a mechanical researcher, she was at the top of the interstellar space.
"Slow down by 40 percent and continue testing."
The operation just now consumed a lot of energy of the body, and the speed increase was naturally huge, otherwise there would be no way to react quickly to avoid the flock of birds.
"Got it." Qi Yu performed the operations according to her request, and then continued with the content of this test flight.
To be honest, he was a little impressed by Ye Mu's command show. It was one thing to listen to Ye Mu's explanation before, but it was only when he went into the sky and operated it personally that he felt how impressive the operation was.
He himself was absolutely not sure that he could accomplish it, but perhaps he would be able to do it after he knew enough about this fighter jet.
Qi Zhihua had the same feeling as Qi Yu. He even felt that it was a loss for Ye Mu not to become an air force pilot.
But when I think about the fact that he is the designer of this fighter jet...I'd better not be a pilot, that would be a waste of talent.
Let them take the responsibility of pilots, they will live up to our trust.
Because of encountering a flock of birds and some previous accidents, the energy consumption of this test was faster than originally planned, and the test flight time was naturally much shorter.
After perfectly completing several planned tests, Qi Yu and Qi Zhihua received new instructions from the command room.
"The flight test project is over, 13021, please return." Ye Mu's steady and calm voice put an end to this flight test.
"receive."
"receive."
This time, Qi Zhihua and Qi Yu's tone calmed down a little, but in fact, there were raging waves in their hearts, and they suppressed their great joy. After completing one test after another, they had a deeper understanding of the performance of this fighter and how superior it was.
The fighter jet returned quickly, got back to the runway very smoothly, slowly slowed down, and finally successfully landed inside the factory.
