After the aircraft was completed, everyone was excited. An Jingzhi celebrated with them for a few words, then immediately went to his office and called Chen Hongjiang to come over for inspection.
After receiving the news, Chen Hongjiang put down everything in his hands and drove to the secret base of the steel plant as soon as possible.
He was about to rush in in a hurry. If the guards didn't know him, he was afraid that some accident would have happened today.
"Where is it? Where is it?!" Chen Hongjiang asked anxiously after rushing in.
Before anyone could answer, he saw the plane standing in the center.
He opened his mouth wide, stopped, looked for a while, and then slowly approached with excitement.
"Similar! Exactly the same!" It's exactly the same as the planes they bought!
The only difference is that this is a new plane, made by their country themselves!
"Old Chief," An Jingzhi came to Chen Hongjiang's side with a smile, "I have checked it, and there is no problem with the plane, but we still need to test fly it first."
"I will arrange for someone to conduct a test flight of the aircraft immediately!" Chen Hongjiang said immediately.
An Jingzhi shook his head. "You know I'm a pilot by trade. I built this plane, so I know its performance best. It's most appropriate for me to test it myself. I asked you to come here so you can help me arrange a test flight site."
Chen Hongjiang immediately shook his head and refused, "No! You are more than just a pilot now. If this plane can really fly, you will have a heavy burden in the future!"
If the plane's test flight is successful, it will prove that An Jingzhi is indeed a genius, and that he has indeed learned mechanical manufacturing at Zhijiang University and has the ability to manufacture airplanes.
A scientist who builds an airplane is far more important than a pilot.
"Old Chief, I built this plane myself. No one knows it better than me. I am really the most suitable person to test fly it." An Jingzhi pleaded again.
"And I've made some modifications to the plane. It will be smoother when turning, and the operation is a little different from the original plane. Let me test fly it."
Chen Hongjiang refused again with a serious expression, "No matter what you say, no means no. We do have a shortage of pilots in our country, but we do have pilots. It's not yet time for an aircraft manufacturing expert to personally test-fly it."
"As for the modification issue you mentioned, I'll call the pilot over and you can have a good talk with him. They're all aircraft, and I believe the principles apply. There's no need for you to do it yourself."
An Jingzhi was also worried that a small modification he made would affect the pilot's flight operations. After hearing what Chen Hongjiang said, he felt that there was some truth to it.
"Okay. Then I'll listen to the old leader."
An Jingzhi was finally persuaded by him, and Chen Hongjiang breathed a sigh of relief. He then immediately called to arrange a test flight.
Two hours later, after several twists and turns, they arrived at an open area, which was the site for their test flight.
The plane was also secretly transported here,
They just disassembled some parts, and when they arrived at the place, An Jingzhi instructed others to put the parts back.
From a distance, you can see many military personnel watching.
Chen Hongjiang went up and said a few words to those people, then brought An Jingzhi forward and introduced them to them one by one.
An Jingzhi greeted them one by one. These military leaders were also very kind and encouraged him with a few words. The preparations for the test flight were almost complete.
Just when An Jingzhi was wondering who would be chosen as the test pilot this time, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Liang Xingguo didn't expect to meet An Jingzhi and others here. They were the same group of soldiers sent to the United States to learn flight technology.
But in the end they returned home, while An Jingzhi stayed.
After returning to China, everyone cursed An Jingzhi when they mentioned him.
In the original owner's memory, An Jingzhi learned that the relationship between Liang Xingguo in front of him and the original owner was actually relatively good among those people.
When the original owner refused to return to China, Liang Xingguo punched him a few times and the two men wrestled on the ground.
Chen Hongjiang walked over and said to An Jingzhi, "Liang Xingguo is the test pilot this time. He volunteered to participate. He has excellent flying skills and should be able to understand the techniques you are talking about."
Then he said to Liang Xingguo, "I know you two knew each other before, and there are some misunderstandings. I will tell you after your flight. All you have to do is listen carefully to what An Jingzhi says and complete this test flight."
Liang Xingguo looked at An Jingzhi in front of him with a complicated expression. He knew that this was not the time to ask those questions. In fact, he knew without any explanation that there might be some misunderstanding on his part, otherwise An Jingzhi would not be standing here.
"Please rest assured, Chief!"
Chen Hongjiang nodded to An Jingzhi, and then left the space to the two of them.
An Jingzhi brought him to the side of the aircraft and climbed on board himself. He carefully explained to Liang Xingguo the improvements he had made.
The other party nodded and asked questions, and soon understood what was going on.
An Jingzhi did not make any major modifications, and this aircraft was the one Liang Xingguo and his team usually used, so the explanation was completed in less than half an hour.
The two of them got off the plane, and Chen Hongjiang came over and asked, "Are you ready?"
"He has learned everything he needs to learn. Now it all depends on his flying skills," said An Jingzhi.
Liang Xingguo saluted and said, "Don't worry, Chief. I will live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, An Jingzhi and Chen Hongjiang left the place.
Liang Xingguo climbed onto the plane. Everything was ready. He put on headphones, listened to the instructions inside, and started the plane.
Many people stood nervously on the ground, watching the plane slowly rise, as if watching the five-star red flag slowly rise, with love and excitement.
Liang Xingguo followed the instructions from the ground and completed the test flight of the aircraft step by step.
He felt that this plane was better than the ones they bought from abroad, and he could make every movement smoothly.
After the test flight of the plane was over, he flew the plane back to its original location.
After getting off the plane, someone came up to question him.
"How was it? How did you feel during the flight?" the other party asked while holding a notebook to record.
Liang Xingguo answered truthfully, "It's very smooth, and there's no lag when turning. It's easier to fly than before... and..."
The person recording continued to ask various questions excitedly while writing.
After the questioning, everyone has confirmed that the aircraft can be officially put into service.
"Great! Our country finally has its own airplane!"
"This plane is much better than those junk we bought from abroad! This will greatly reduce the chances of a pilot crashing!"
"We can save the money we spend on buying these crappy grains in the future and build our own airplanes!"
