"None of them were cowards. They completed their mission before they died."
Although he didn't drink, Liang Xingguo's eyes were a little distracted.
An Jingzhi was also feeling inexplicably depressed. Although he had no real contact with these people, he could still empathize with some of their feelings.
The Chinese people at that time were very pure.
"What a pity, what a pity that they left without hearing from you." Liang Xingguo rubbed his face, his eyes regained clarity, and he said regretfully.
"Let's go see them together sometime." An Jingzhi said after a moment of silence.
"Okay, but unfortunately, their remains can no longer be found. That was their cenotaph."
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. An Jingzhi raised his hand to check the time. "Are you busy today?"
Liang Xingguo shook his head and said, "I'm taking a day off today."
An Jingzhi suggested going today, and Liang Xingguo readily agreed.
An Jingzhi walked past those cold tombstones one by one.
The tombstones nearby are all of those of fallen pilots.
It can be seen that everyone was very young before leaving.
"These are our predecessors who lived before the founding of the People's Republic of China," Liang Xingguo introduced them to An Jingzhi one by one. "These are those who died after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
“I used to like to come here for a walk when I had nothing to do.”
If I remember correctly, in the original owner's memory, they went to the United States together to study flight technology. There were 50 pilots in total, and 49 of them returned to their country except him.
In other words, in just over two years, Liang Xingguo was the only one left out of the 49 people.
…
That time, he and An Jingzhi tore up all the drawings he was drawing.
I used to think about doing it step by step, but it is not a good thing for technology to advance too quickly.
But he didn't want to think about anything now. If he progressed too fast, then he progressed too fast. If he was suspected by others, then he was suspected by others.
After the Chinese New Year, he immediately submitted a drawing of the machine tool to his superiors.
After a series of reviews, these drawings, which far exceeded the current level of technology, were officially put into research.
It’s not that no one doubts An Jingzhi’s situation.
But after much investigation, they could only attribute it to An Jingzhi's excellent personal talent.
This person is a native Chinese, and both his parents are party members. It can be said that he has a good family background.
An Jingzhi's importance has once again been elevated.
Originally, they thought of letting An Jingzhi continue to work in the steel plant research institute without making a fuss, but now the country no longer cares about these and directly protects An Jingzhi with three layers of protection inside and outside.
The research base also moved to a new location.
Although the steel plant is very safe, it is not an absolute iron wall. If such talents are not kept under close watch and protected, the bigwigs at the top will be uneasy.
An Jingzhi was secretly escorted to the capital, and his parents remained in Sanhua Steel Plant. However, the security department of Sanhua Steel Plant was also replaced. They not only protected the steel plant, but were also responsible for catching spies.
…
At a flight base somewhere, several young pilots were excitedly watching the smooth lines of the aircraft shining brightly under the sunlight.
"Is this really an aircraft made in our country?" A pilot carefully stroked the fuselage with his hand.
"It should be true. Look at this plane, it's obviously new! Why would anyone be willing to sell us such a new one?"
Liang Xingguo just watched the group of pilots discussing below.
This was the K49 that he had once test-flown, and they were using it in less than a year.
"Instructor, is this really made by us?" The soldiers looked at the group of pilots with expectant eyes.
Liang Xingguo cleared his throat and suddenly smiled with a stern face.
"This is indeed an aircraft produced by our country."
"This plane is better than the ones we usually use. You'll know when you try it out later."
When the pilots heard this, they immediately started talking.
He didn't care that Liang Xingguo was still standing in front of him, his face was beaming with joy, and he kept chattering.
"Really?! We really built this ourselves? Great, we can build our own planes!"
"Great, great! We finally have our own plane!"
After everyone had vented their emotions for a while, Liang Xingguo said loudly with a stern face, "Everyone!"
Everyone immediately stopped smiling and lined up in front of Liang Xingguo.
"Everyone will go up and experience it later. This aircraft is not much different from the T580. It is smoother and safer to operate than the T580. In the future, we will have our own maintenance personnel, and they will be stationed at our base along with these aircraft."
One soldier reported, "Is the maintenance worker also Chinese?"
Liang Xingguo laughed and scolded, "What else? Don't we know how to repair the planes we built ourselves?"
The soldier grinned and said, "Commander, I'm just asking."
Liang Xingguo continued, "This plane is called K49. I believe everyone knows what K49 means. I hope you will not let this plane down."
The tough guys couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Then came the much-anticipated aircraft test flight.
Before the arrival of K49, not everyone had an airplane, and the airplanes they used on a daily basis were trainer aircraft, so they could not directly fly the T580.
The T580 can only be used when a mission is to be carried out.
Everyone feels the difference between k49 and t580.
After the plane took off, they continued to test the plane and perform various actions according to the instructions from the ground. If they were not allowed, they might have communicated on the channel on the spot.
After the test, everyone was very excited and kept communicating with each other.
"This plane flies so smoothly!"
"Yes, yes, yes! And it feels much faster than the T580! If we use the K49 to carry out this bombing mission, we will definitely have a chance to come back!"
Liang Xingguo watched them communicate and discuss, and thought of how excited he felt when he first tried out the K49.
Although the K49 has been officially put into production, the output is not enough to cover all teams. They were able to get the K49 because they received a mission to help carry out bombing missions on the border.
Although this time the conflict was only with a small country, how could a small country have so many aircraft and weapons? This is a game between big powers.
They were flying obsolete and outdated planes to carry out the mission, which was no different from committing suicide, but they had no choice but to go.
Originally, everyone believed that they would die, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events and K49 appeared.
"Instructor, have you known about K49 for a long time?" No wonder the instructor showed no expression when they were notified to carry out this mission.
"Instead of asking these questions, why not take the time to familiarize yourself with the K49? The more familiar you are with it, the better it will be at bringing you home safely."
Liang Xingguo said with a straight face and expressionless face.
