A few hours later, the newly added integrated early warning and defense system was installed and completed ground testing.
Of course, for safety reasons, aerial testing is also essential.
Xia Yu picked up Foxbat, who had an A320 commercial license, and had him fly the A319, which had been converted into a VIP business jet, in the nearby airspace.
"Buzz"
The twin-engine passenger plane accelerated away from the runway, carrying the couple into the night sky.
"The noise control is quite good. It is covered with soundproofing material. Except for the noise during takeoff and landing, the cabin noise during cruise is kept below 60 decibels."
Xia Yu looked at the data displayed on the decibel meter and said.
Commercial airliners have more space, but they are also noisier. The quietest Airbus A380 is still 56 decibels, while Gulfstream and Bombardier can keep it below 50 decibels.
However, those planes were too small; the interior space simply couldn't accommodate an ejection cockpit.
He lifted the seat, revealing something stuffed full underneath.
"call out"
Li Deling turned around, while Xia Yu pulled Liv into the bedroom.
"Yes, Papa!"
Well, it did explode, but the force wasn't as great as a single S-8 rocket.
"Beep beep beep"
Zhu Zi, who had just returned from the museum, turned on the radar of the anti-aircraft missile vehicle next to the parking lot, as instructed by his godfather.
The multi-purpose sprayer on the belly of the aircraft fired chaff strips one after another, illuminating the sea surface.
"Enemy missile, enemy missile..."
"Beside him, Liv, who had just finished her midnight snack, said."
A few seconds later, it directly illuminates and tracks.
Instead of being detonated by the chaff, the special AIM-120B was detonated two or three kilometers away from C319.
"Yes, boss!"
"Beep, enemy tracking, enemy tracking..."
As Xia Yu spoke, he opened the hatch, revealing four seats inside: two large and two small.
"boom"
Looking at the ejectable cockpit placed in the center, which has the feel of an escape pod from a science fiction movie, Liv felt very amazed.
Even though they knew it was a live-fire exercise, Li Deling and Liv still felt a pang of anxiety, while Xia Yu remained as calm as a rock.
Pregnant women who are showing are more likely to get hungry than ordinary women. With afternoon snacks and late-night snacks, they need to eat five meals a day, and also have some fruit in the morning.
Missiles are expensive, but they are quite old, so it's necessary to fire one or two missiles a year for live-fire exercises.
“Honey, from now on, during takeoff and landing, you should keep the child in the bedroom. If you hear the first warning, immediately go to the bathroom and put your hands here.”
"Pillar, fire one!"
"This, this is..."
"This is the ultimate means of escape. As long as you and your child hide here, even if you are hit by a missile, it won't be able to break through the titanium alloy lining."
"The escape pod is equipped with sensors. If it is hit by a missile, the explosive modules will detonate automatically. Of course, you can also operate it manually by pressing this button."
The bulkhead behind the two men unlocked and opened, revealing the hidden stern section.
"The same goes for the door to the washroom; if the palm print recognition fails, the cabinet below can still be operated manually."
"It's much better than the C-160 and helicopters, this is enough."
"Puff puff puff puff"
With 95% of the warhead's explosive charge removed, the remaining fuel is only enough to detonate the engine. The effect will definitely be poor, but safety is the priority.
An alarm sounded soon after the aircraft was scanned by fire control radar.
"The alarm receiver is working properly, and the sprayer is the same. Calling Foxbat, let's return to base!"
"Beep enemy search enemy search..."
Xia Yu grabbed his wife's hand and pressed it against the mirror.
"In short, as long as you bring your child into the cockpit, your safety is guaranteed. There is also an MP7 and two grenades under the seat, as well as a complete set of survival equipment."
"Release the interference foil!"
The missile's pulse-Doppler active radar seeker activated, and the radar warning receiver, which detected the electromagnetic wave signal, issued a piercing warning.
"Okay, turn on the radar."
I chose the MP7 because it's small enough, and if you think it's not powerful enough, it has two grenades. As for pistols, Liv always carries her Glock 26.
The only AIM-120B AMRAAM on the launch pad ignited and lifted off, heading towards the C-319 more than 20 kilometers away.
Xia Yu took out his satellite phone and called Boge Village.
This level of firepower is sufficient for self-defense.
"Everything is fine while I'm on the plane. Even if I'm not here, I'll find you as soon as possible."
Holding his wife's temporarily missing waist, Xia Yu kissed her cheek and said.
"Honey, this kind of cabin must be very expensive!"
From these preparations, Liv could feel her husband's love for her and their children.
However, this isn't a question of whether it's expensive or not; it's that you can't buy this level of escape method even if you have the money.
Even Lao Mei himself abandoned this expensive ejection cockpit solution, considering how little compensation would be paid for the two pilots' lives.
"If you work in this industry, you have to be prepared for retaliation against your whole family. This expense is unavoidable. Your safety and your child's safety are the most important things."
After Xia Yu said these words, Liv's gaze turned into a longing.
If they weren't about to land over the airport, she would have loved to test the quality of the 1.5m x 2m double bed in her bedroom.
There aren't many things to worry about during the second trimester; only the first and third trimesters require attention.
It was 11 p.m. when the Airbus A319 landed on the runway. After Foxbat parked the plane in the hangar, the couple returned to Bogo village just after midnight.
After a hasty and fierce battle, I went to sleep. The next afternoon, the official pilots had already arrived.
When Xia Yu met them, she noticed that the two had something in common: they both had relatively little hair.
Pressure is only one aspect; the harsh working environment and exposure to various forms of radiation can also cause pilots to go bald at a young age.
Xia Yu, being a cheater, was fine. He didn't have much pressure in terms of operation and could even capture the particle part of ionizing radiation, so his short hair was still black and thick.
"Captain Qian, you've flown an Il-76 before."
Xia Yu asked the older of the two.
"Yes, we originally planned to convert the Airbus A380s, but there are only 5 in total, and we don't lack manpower, so we ended up converting them into smaller planes."
"I've been flying the A319 for several years," Lao Qian said regretfully.
Who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity to fly a large aircraft?
However, the current point-to-point flight mode has made the positioning of four-engine large passenger aircraft awkward, and twin-engine long-range aircraft will be the mainstream in the future.
The A380 was destined to be phased out as soon as it came out; the project was far less successful than the earlier Boeing 747.
But military transport aircraft are different. Four-engine large aircraft are always in high demand. Before the production capacity of the Il-76 reached its peak, the Il-76 was the mainstay of the old system.
Xia Yu, on the other hand, valued its affordability and accessibility.
NATO has some good stuff, but as you know, the prices aren't affordable for everyone.
Even with purchases and modifications, his budget is capped at around 50 million; he simply can't afford those models that cost two or three hundred million dollars.
"I don't think those five planes will be flying for many more years, but you still have a chance to fly the Il-76. Work hard, and in your spare time you can learn to fly those old planes in the company. When there's work, you'll get hourly pay."
Xia Yu said to the two of them.
Not only fire defense, but also the employees of the subsidiary need to be multi-talented. After all, the first batch of employees recruited for the second phase of the project were all old men, and they really couldn't handle the high-intensity work.
Training a new batch of employees will reduce my workload and allow me to fly for a few more years. Why not?
"Yes, boss!"
The two quickly adapted to their working-class identities.
They're drawn to this lifestyle: easy work, high pay, and far from home.
"By the way, everyone should pick another pistol. When you have time, go to the shooting range to practice your marksmanship. Afica is not peaceful. Even if you go to other continents, you have to leave your weapons on the plane."
Xia Yu gave the two final instructions.
Staying on the plane does not count as entering the country, but employees who are registered with the branch office and have a license can enter Germany.
Upon hearing that they would be armed, both men became very excited.
They spent two years handling Type 11 rifles before leaving the military, and haven't touched a gun since. Going abroad was definitely the right decision.
"Foxbat, you take them and resolve this matter."
Xia Yu conscripted Li Deling's men, since those who arrived a day earlier were all elderly, and it was only right to help the newcomers familiarize themselves with the work environment as quickly as possible.
He was just temporarily assigned to the museum; he no longer had a code name.
One of them chose a Glock 19, while the other opted for a CZ-75.
They only went to the firing range once and fired a few magazines before receiving orders to fly to Europe after transiting through Tsuna.
"This is my first time going abroad, Mr. Xia. Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife."
Sofia and Xia Yu, carrying large and small bags, boarded the plane and assured each other.
My mother-in-law has to go to work and can only come back to cook dinner at most. Let Sophia go to Germany to take care of Liv's daily life, so she can devote more energy to her work.
"I believe in you, Sofia. I've even enrolled you in a maternal and infant care training course. Study hard."
Xia Yu, dressed in anti-gravity clothing, shouted down to the black woman who was not yet forty years old.
There are some differences in how children are raised; just choose the one that suits your income level.
After the built-in boarding ladder was retracted and the cabin door closed, Xia Yu climbed into his MiG-29s.
Soviet-made aircraft generally do not have built-in boarding stairs, but fortunately they have ground crew.
The ladder was retracted and the hatch was closed. Xia Yu followed A-319 out of the hangar.
"Buzz"
"boom"
Two planes took off from the runway one after the other and flew together toward Tshad.
A few showers won't be a problem, just avoid getting struck by lightning.
Compared to the comprehensive lightning protection measures of passenger planes, the damage to military aircraft caused by lightning strikes is not low; some aircraft skins can be punctured and require complete replacement.
Because of the short distance, the two planes quickly arrived at Njamena Airport.
"General, we have successfully completed our mission. The entire hatch has been replaced, along with some of the damaged instruments. Your MiG-29s is now fully operational."
As soon as they got off the plane, Xia Yu introduced Fatimé to the waiting guests.
“That’s fantastic. Jihuo Defense is even faster than Tungsten Kelan. If we had known they would delay delivery, we would have bought the MiG-29s from your company.”
Fatimé expressed her approval, but her tone was also full of regret.
Jihuo Defense sells these single-seat fulcrums, so he's serious.
But since the deposit has already been paid, we can only hope that Ermao can deliver the remaining two MiG-29s as soon as possible!
Xia Yu shared the same view: if the fighter jets weren't delivered quickly, they would be the primary targets in a real conflict.
Delivering early allows you to get the final payment back, while being ripped off in one fell swoop is a complete breach of contract, unless there are Eastern European countries willing to sponsor the old pivot.
"There will be opportunities; your company always has a need for upgrades and replacements."
Unlike the wealthy Niri-Liya, which has oil and gas resources, China has limited coal reserves and cannot afford new equipment.
This applies to helicopters and fighter jets alike.
There are quite a few countries similar to Tsade, and they are all potential customers of Xia Yu. At that time, earning a little over ten million yuan for a MiG-29 will not be a problem at all.
For countries that are even wealthier, he would recommend that they establish an air force primarily composed of advanced jet trainers.
The old fulcrum has limited potential; in pursuit of modernization and informatization, the several higher education opportunities in the hometown are more suitable.
With such a large market as Afica, Xia Yu could easily handle fifty or sixty MiG-29s; any more than that and he would struggle to digest them.
After saying goodbye to Fatima, Liv waited for him at the airport, while he took a helicopter to the forward base of Jihuo Defense.
As the rain gradually subsided, the company's equipment was moved to Zha De.
In this operation to eliminate Boko Haram, Tsate was also a funder. The first targets of the concentrated fire defense were the branches operating within Tsate and Kamalon.
Ground heavy equipment is naturally deployed along the border between the two countries, but combating extremists hiding in the Zha De Lake area requires the Mi-24V, as well as the combination of CH-47D and SOC-R.
The rainy season replenishes Zha De Lake with a large amount of fresh water, making it impossible to enter from land without a boat.
"Boss, you've finally arrived."
Although he called every two or three days, Hans hadn't seen Xia Yu for a long time, so he immediately gave her a bear hug.
"Don't hug me, go hug your girlfriend."
Xia Yu pushed away the guy who was playing office games... probably a chariot-themed romance.
After spending nearly two months together, Hans finally confessed his feelings to Dorothea, and they successfully got together.
"She's more likely to hug me; I always lose when we arm wrestle."
Hans said this, but he couldn't hide the enjoyment on his face.
Good heavens, this is the true face of their Mongoose Captain. He's sexually normal, but clearly the passive one.
"Let's not talk about that, where's my sister?"
Seeing that only Xia Yu and Andrei got off the helicopter, Hans asked.
"Liv is still on the plane. I'll check on your situation here. She'll fly to Europe tonight. You won't see her until the Boko Sanctuary is dealt with."
Xia Yu said regretfully.
This was the company's final deployment before the opening of the museum's third phase, and also the last project for the giant panda, quokka, and digital 3 teams before they returned to China.
"Understood, I will take precautions against pregnancy."
The No. 1 field medic at Jihuo Defense is already heavily pregnant, so the newly arrived No. 2 can't get pregnant too.
Marriage is nothing. When Fischer and Hannah got married, the Berlin Wall hadn't collapsed yet, so Hans planned to discuss marriage after having a second child. Before that, the relationship between the boyfriend and girlfriend was pretty good.
"Where are the fennec foxes?"
Xia Yu asked about Lao Ke and the others.
