Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2245 Unbridled
Sijiucheng, aircraft factory.

A complete curfew has been imposed on the roads on both sides. The soldiers are standing three meters apart and are alert to their surroundings. Not to mention people, even a bird passing by will be shot down.

In the sky, two J-7s were cruising in the air. From time to time, one could see the pilots looking outside with serious expressions.

"Thank you, Captain. Is that big guy below our Pegasus?"

"It looks bigger than ours."

"What a pity, we were just a little short of it, otherwise it would have been ours."

The voice of the wingman came from the microphone. Captain Xie retracted his gaze and did not respond immediately. Instead, he went over the data of the aircraft below in his mind.

Baiju-J-27 fighter, designed and built by Red Star Machinery Factory, is 6 meters long from front to back, 15 meters high, with a wingspan of 65 meters and a wingspan of square meters. It adopts a new design of double vertical tails.
This fighter has two HXJ-01 turbojet engines, so it has a design speed of more than Mach and a maximum ceiling of meters.
It adopts a new dynamic structure, can carry four anti-aircraft missiles, and has two 30mm cannons.
These data are like engraved in my mind, and they will immediately appear when I think about them.

Too bad he's not the one driving now.

"That's called a white colt. It's a white colt that passes by in a flash. It's not a Pegasus."

Captain Xie replied, and then the wingman's hip-hop voice came again, "I think it's better to call it Tianma, because it's unrestrained and has no taboos."

"Well, this is what I heard from Old Braid. He also said that Baiju is too quiet and it's better to call him Tianma."

Captain Xie shook his head after hearing this. As for the old man the other party was talking about, he was a ground crew member who came with them.

He was also an aircraft designer at Shengjing Aircraft Factory. He had once helped with test flights, and the relationship between the two was very good.

Thinking of this, Captain Xie’s thoughts began to wander far away.

A month ago, they were transferred here from Shengjing. They thought it was a routine transfer, but they didn't expect that after arriving here, they would meet the test pilots of Chengfei.

Not only that, he also met test pilots from the Shaanxi-Yanzhou Flight Test Institute, Dingxin in the northwest, and Zhuhai in the south.

You know, many of these test pilots are true ace pilots like him.

Each one of them is the main force of the Flight Test Institute.

But there are more than ten of them gathered here, which was definitely a rare thing in the past.

What is even more rare is that not only test pilots like them come here, but also the ground crew of each test pilot.

If they are responsible for getting the planes into the sky, then these people are responsible for making the planes fly into the sky.

Here, he met many elderly people.

Among them are many retired ground staff.

Even though he is retired, he is still registered at the Flight Test Institute and often teaches there. It can be said that everyone here is an intangible asset.

But with such wealth, why would one take out so much of it at once?
This left them a little confused.

Later, after training, they knew what to do.

So many elites, so many good soldiers, and so much effort, just to test an airplane.

When they first heard the news, they were a little confused.

When it comes to the best flight test site in the country, these flight test institutes really have to compete with each other to determine the winner.

But everyone knows that the level is similar, so even if they win, the difference won’t be too big.

So in their opinion, if they just want to test an aircraft, they can just find a flight test institute.

Just like the last operation in Shengjing, wasn’t it completed by them in Shengjing?

There are many people who have the same idea as him. Apart from being curious, they don't take it too seriously.

But after the first day of training, the general meeting made them forget about their relaxed thoughts.

It was also on that day that they saw the three-view image of the aircraft that was about to be tested and heard the aircraft data reported by the leader.

From that moment on, he loved it.

Especially the bird's-eye view, the look and design were all as beautiful as any plane he had seen before.

From that moment on, he had an overhead view of an airplane taped to his bed.

And there are many people like him.

From that moment on, everyone became angry.

A fire to test fly.

As a result, their training became more diligent and their competition became more intense.

Not only do you need to be familiar with the operating methods at high altitudes and high speeds, you also need to learn how to use radar and be familiar with the various states of the aircraft.

They need to master each project in the shortest possible time.

Then select the one with the best performance in each project.

It wasn't until a week ago that the test pilot was selected.

Unfortunately, it’s not him.

"Okay, stop talking so much. The plane has arrived. We should get off and change shifts."

"Okay, I'm going to go check it out."

"Captain Xie, are you going?"

"Of course I have to go."

"Haha, what a pity, it's a bargain for Old Huo and his friends."

"Damn it, it's just that the radar operation is better than ours, I really can't accept it."

Whizzing
The two planes flew quickly towards the airport.

At the same time, two more planes took off to continue their guard mission.

At the airport, Yang Xiaotao followed the convoy into the airport.

Optimus Prime in front pulled the plane into the hangar, while they turned and came to the control tower.

"This is just a preliminary test flight. If there are no problems, the leader will come back later."

In the armored vehicle, President Peng said to Yang Xiaotao.

Mr. Chen beside him also nodded.

"I think it's all right. As long as we can fly up, there will be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao smiled carefreely, but his fingers were clenched tightly.

Although it was checked with fault scanning glasses, there was no problem with the aircraft.

But this is not an armored vehicle, it is an airplane, an airplane that can fly.

An aircraft to be operated in the sky.

Even if there is no problem, it can be a disaster if the operation is not done properly.

He had worked so hard to make the plane, and he didn't want it to be destroyed because of an operational error.

If he knew how to fly a plane, he would have wanted to give it a try.

But he couldn't say anything, because the selected test pilots were the aces among aces.

At the very least, he is one of the best test pilots.

Yang Xiaotao was still able to remain calm, but Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning beside him could no longer hold back.

The two of them were able to follow along thanks to the help of the assault team. Even so, Chen Gong was full of complaints, saying it was unfair.

But there was no other way. Except for the three of them, everyone else could only wait for news in the machinery factory.

Including Wu Zhe.

This guy is at the point of crying but has no tears.

Who said he wasn’t from the machinery factory?
When we set off, this guy was still saying that it was unfair.

Unfortunately, it's useless.

"Commander, we're here."

The guard's voice was heard from the passenger seat, and the car stopped immediately.

The car door opened and Yang Xiaotao and others got out one after another.

When Yang Xiaotao came down, he saw a group of people walking towards him not far away.

The three of them quickly stood behind President Peng and Mr. Chen.

"Chief."

Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang led the group, followed by Mr. Wang, Mr. Qin and others.

Yang Xiaotao took a quick look and saw that in addition to the few people who had attended the first meeting, there were also a few people wearing military uniforms of various colors.

Among them was Mr. Zhang, whom Yang Xiaotao was more familiar with.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning beside him looked serious, but they couldn't stop smiling.

It was worth the trip for them to be able to meet so many leaders here.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was looking at everyone, the greetings between the two sides had ended. They were all acquaintances and there was nothing much to say.

Then Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen took the lead and walked towards the command tower.

Yang Xiaotao and the other two fell behind a few steps and merged into the crowd.

At this time, I saw Old Qin walking over.

Yang Xiaotao glanced sideways, then stretched out five fingers.

Old Qin knew what it meant as soon as he saw it, and he also raised his hand and showed five fingers.

Then the two of them followed and walked forward.

This scene was seen by Mr. Wang behind, who immediately became alert.

As he entered the room, Mr. Wang approached Mr. Qin and asked in a low voice.

Old Qin had no intention of hiding it, so he told him about the bet.

When Mr. Wang heard about this good news, he immediately went to argue with Yang Xiaotao. Those were five Mercury machine tools. He was really generous.

But before he could get over there, he was stopped by Mr. Zhou from the Sixth Machine Department behind him. Then there was another round of whispers. Mr. Wang's eyes widened and he didn't say anything else.

They wouldn't be happy even if they won, because if they lost, their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building wouldn't be as well-off as the Logistics Department.

Anyway, winning or losing doesn't make any sense, so why bother joining in the fun?

"I guess Lao Qin made this bet with the intention of losing."

As Mr. Zhou spoke, Mr. Wang nodded immediately.

"I think so too. Besides, he is able to act like a good kid in this matter. He is really taking advantage of it."

At this point, Mr. Wang felt that he had suffered a loss.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have cooperated with the machinery factory."

"You? Are you from the Seventh Machine Department very rich?"

Upon hearing this, Old Wang tilted his head. If you are not as strong as others, you have to endure the humiliation.

"Hello, leaders. I am the commander-in-chief of this test flight, Li Mingyu!"

At the front, the middle-aged man in charge of command was reporting to General Peng, and Yang Xiaotao followed behind and listened carefully.

It’s my first time here and everything around me is new.

However, listening to the other party's report, from the terrain to the weather, as well as various testing instruments and projects, etc., each one was explained clearly and thoroughly.

This made Yang Xiaotao realize how many people were silently contributing to this test flight.

cabin.

The moment the plane's wheels stopped turning, a group of people gathered around.

They were wearing work clothes of various colors and hats of different shapes. Some of them were holding wrenches in their hands, and some were wearing flight suits. Each of them had a variety of expressions on their faces, including surprise, expectation, confusion, etc.

At this moment, all eyes were on the outline wrapped in black cloth.

"Pull it open, all of you!"

A white-haired old man was walking at the front of the crowd, and the old men around him gathered in the middle. He was obviously the commander here.

As the old man fell with an excited voice, the people around him started to take action without waiting for the staff to take action.

"Easy, why are you in such a hurry?"

The old man watched the black cloth being torn and shouted at the side, but everyone acted without hesitation.

Three seconds later, everyone looked at the fighter jet in front of them with their mouths wide open.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin.

The fuselage is not too long and the wings are not very wide, but the double vertical tail design gives the aircraft a unique three-dimensional sense.

The layout of the two engines side by side on the left and right sides of the fuselage makes the aircraft even heavier.

In the silence, the behemoth in everyone's eyes was like a war horse waiting to set off, covered in steel and filled with an indescribable violent beauty.

The old man stretched out his hand, trying to touch the wings of the plane, but he couldn't reach it even after standing on tiptoe.

But even so, the old man still tried to stretch out his hand, until he finally came to the landing gear and gently touched the steel, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then the old man ran back, put some distance between himself and stood on a car, and only then could he see the whole picture.

"Okay, okay, okay."

“That’s design, it just looks good.”

The old man stood on the car with his hands on his hips and smiled, "Baiju, you are so quiet."

"Such a majestic aircraft should be called BMW, it should be called Pegasus."

"The wild horse runs wild, and all evil spirits are shunned."

"That's right."

The old man laughed happily.

As for the performance of the aircraft, as a designer for so many years, he has long formed an intuitive judgment in his mind.

For some things, you can tell whether they are good or bad just by looking at them.

And the plane in front of him, in his opinion, was very good.
