Chapter 2475 Desert Eagle Spreads Wings
As Liu Daming's voice fell, Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin and others all stared at the screw.

"Yang Department."

"There's something wrong with the screws that connect the oil line to the engine, and it's leaking oil."

"This screw"

Liu Daming looked down.

As an eighth-level master craftsman, even without measuring, he could tell that the screw was not up to standard.

Yang Xiaotao took it, touched it, then sighed and shook his head.

"Test it."

Yang Xiaotao did not announce the result in public, but asked the quality assurance personnel who were specifically responsible for testing to come forward and test it.

In the crowd, quality assurance director Xu Aihua looked pale. The occurrence of such a problem meant that they had failed in their job duties.

Just imagine if this hadn’t been discovered, something might have gone wrong while the plane was in the sky.

Then they are sinners.

The quality assurance personnel all looked nervous, and they just hoped that there was no problem with the screws.

However, with so many people watching, they had no other choice.

The instrument measurement was completed quickly.

Xu Aihua wiped the sweat from his forehead and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

As for the gazes of people around him, he automatically ignored them.

This time, whether to punish or not depends on Yang Bu’s decision.

"Go ahead."

Yang Xiaotao said this softly, and Xu Aihua immediately swallowed her saliva, and then said dryly, "According to the design requirements, the precision of this screw needs to reach 1.8."

"But after we measured it, the accuracy was only about 1.9, which did not meet the design requirements."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

Li Hongfeng even reached out and touched his chest, feeling lucky.

Now he finally understood why Yang Xiaotao always emphasized design requirements.

Why would they rather send someone to help than lower the design requirements?

This is the reason.

This is what is meant by a slight error leading to a great mistake.

"Director Yang, we made mistakes in our work. We did not strictly control it. I, I request punishment."

Xu Aihua looked ashamed.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to them, picked up the unqualified screw, and looked at it in front of everyone.

"Comrades, did you see that?"

"A screw, a tiny screw, has cost so many of us sweat, tears, and even blood for it."

Everyone was silent.

Yang Xiaotao laughed again, "But it is just this one screw that makes us understand that even the smallest screw can determine the success or failure of the overall situation."

"you!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed at Xu Aihua, who looked ashamed. Yang Xiaotao then pointed at himself and said, "Me."

"And us."

"Each of us is a screw that determines the success or failure of the overall situation."

"I hope everyone can be a key screw."

"Let's make this plane fly higher, faster and better."

pop
Papapa

Applause suddenly broke out.

Li Hongfeng felt that Yang Xiaotao had completed all his work as secretary.

Liu Huaimin clapped his hands even harder. He believed that after this incident, the nine departments would be more united and full of cohesion.

And this plane, just as Yang Xiaotao said, will definitely fly higher and faster.

"Director Xu, your mistakes in work have caused this consequence, so you must be punished."

The applause stopped and Yang Xiaotao spoke again.

Now, everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Xu Aihua also knew that she couldn't run away. They had made a mistake at work and had to take responsibility for it.

"The punishment is to go back and think about it, improve the review and inspection process, and come up with a new set of review standards."

"Leave it to me in three days."

After hearing this, Xu Aihua felt relieved. This punishment was far worse than he had imagined.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Xu Aihua breathed a sigh of relief and answered loudly.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Daming again, "Everyone, work harder and assemble the plane."

"Tomorrow, we will go for the first flight."

"Don't worry, Yang Bu, there will be no problems this time."

Liu Daming made the assurance loudly, and the others also raised their fists, full of fighting spirit.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took Li Hongfeng and others out of the workshop.

After returning to the office, Yang Xiaotao first picked up the phone and called Mr. Peng.

"Boss Peng, the problem has been found."

After briefly explaining what happened, Mr. Peng was also surprised.

I didn't expect that a substandard screw would cause such serious consequences.

Calculating the time, it was delayed by five days.

"Okay, as long as we can find the problem."

"I believe that after this, it will be a step forward for you, and you will be able to prevent such things from happening again in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

"We have already started reassembly and expect to have it up by tomorrow afternoon."

“It can be delivered to the airport the day after tomorrow.”

Yang Xiaotao told them about the plan. Mr. Peng thought about it and said, "I'll confirm the weather conditions with them and give you a reply later."

"Yes!"

After they hung up the phone, Yang Xiaotao sat down on the chair, leaned back, and yawned slowly.

Reaching out and touching his growing beard, Yang Xiaotao missed his bed at home and the person on it.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao sent Chen Chonghan to the car.

In addition to Chen Chonghan, there were two security personnel on the Sifang Machinery Factory trip to Qindao.

This is also for safety reasons.

When Chen Chonghan learned that the problem was discovered and that the precision of a screw did not meet the requirements, he became more concerned about this task.

Going out means representing the nine departments.

Since he joined the Red Star Machinery Factory, he has been taken care of by Yang Xiaotao.

This time, it's his chance to give back.

After seeing Chen Chonghan off, Yang Xiaotao drove straight home.

go to bed.

Three days later, it was midnight again.

Yang Xiaotao stood in the hangar, looking at the plane that had been produced for the second time in front of him with a serious expression.

Again, the glasses scanned and found no problems, but that doesn’t mean there are no problems.

"Military Yang, we can go now."

Wu Zhe changed into a clean set of clothes and came to Yang Xiaotao to report.

Others were waiting nearby.

Of course, another group of people went to the airport in advance to perform maintenance on another aircraft.

"Let's go."

Yang Xiaotao responded, and this time he chose to walk in front.

Behind him, the tractor truck Optimus Prime pulled the plane forward.

Two armored vehicles followed behind.

In other words, there are no helicopters, otherwise at least two would have been arranged.

The car slowly left the Ninth Department, and the surrounding area was tightly guarded by the Security Department.

When driving on the road, you can also see guards standing guard along the way.

Soon the convoy left the city and arrived in the suburbs.

After driving for a while, we arrived at the airport.

Without waiting for the guards to investigate, the door was opened from the inside and people entered one after another.

The plane entered the airport warehouse, and Wu Zhe, Bian Xiang and others got off the car and did the final inspection.

Yang Xiaotao led Li Hongfeng, Liu Huaimin and others to the command tower.

Then I saw Mr. Zhang with a group of people, and Wang Minghai who was in charge of on-site command.

Yang Xiaotao brought people in and simply said hello.

"Those people from the desert are coming this time too, is that okay?"

Mr. Zhang came to Yang Xiaotao and asked him questions. It was obvious that the last accident caught him off guard.

"I don't know."

Yang Xiaotao said this slowly, and Mr. Zhang opened his mouth wide, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions.

There are definitely few aircraft like the Baiju that succeeded in their maiden flight without any experiments. Didn't you see how the J-8 was beaten to death in Shengjing?

Who can say that it will succeed this time?

If we must refer to past experience, then the only one is Yang Xiaotao's Baiju.

But now, Yang Xiaotao can't explain it clearly, which makes him feel unsure.

Time passed slowly as we waited. After a while, the sky began to turn white, and at this moment, the voice of the ground crew came from the communicator.

"Control tower, check completed, no problem."

"Tower received."

Wang Minghai said this, and then continued to order, "Runway one, runway two, get ready."

"Number One understands."

"Number Two understands!"

Preparations have been made around the runway, with a large number of fire trucks and ambulances parked around, and many people waiting around the vehicles.

At this moment, two test pilots have entered the cockpit and are getting familiar with the aircraft.

These two people were also the test pilots who had previously tested the J-8. The control system of the Desert Eagle is the same as that of the J-8, so it is not difficult to fly.

After daybreak, Yang Xiaotao and others had breakfast in the command tower. Each person had two fried dough sticks and ate them with boiled water.

The same thing happened throughout the airport.

Of course, Mr. Zhang said that if the first flight was successful, he would treat us to a big dinner.

In response, Yang Xiaotao just smiled at Mr. Zhang and reminded him to do what he said.

Mr. Zhang smiled, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a row of cars entered the airport one after another.

Yang Xiaotao and others greeted them outside the airport.

Not long after, Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen got out of the car one after another, and then Faisal and Hassan got out of the car. They quickly came to the last car, opened the door respectfully, and a middle-aged man with a plaid cloth on his head walked out.

Walid.

Yang Xiaotao recognized it at a glance.

At the same time, I was a little nervous.

Obviously, the other party attaches great importance to this maiden flight.

If everything goes well, everything will be fine.

If something unexpected happens, all the money will probably be wasted.

After the few people met, they walked towards the command tower.

"Mr. Yang, we meet again."

Faisal was polite to Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao smiled back, "Mr. Faisal, when did you come?"

"As for me, I came here the day before yesterday, with Lord Walid."

The two men walked into the control tower, talking in low voices.

"Mr. Yang, Hassan has reported the situation to me. Thank you for your selfless teaching to us during this period. Lord Walid was very happy when he heard about this."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao heard it, he knew that this must have been done by the master and disciple Hou Baowei and Ulaka, but now it seems that the situation is not bad.

"This is what we should do. Otherwise, we wouldn't go so far to do maintenance for you."

Yang Xiaotao said this nonchalantly, and Faisal nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

The truth is this.

But when it comes to really doing it, every master would keep some tricks up his sleeve.

As for those United States businessmen, their words are more beautiful than the singing of a young girl, but what they do is really disgusting.

The two were chatting on the side, and Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen were also chatting with Walid.

Of course, they are more interested in cooperation between the two sides.

Especially the Dongfeng-2.

Although it was clearly stated above that this was impossible, I would not refuse immediately, after all, they were very generous.

After talking for a while, Zhang Lao came up to him and said, "Commander, we are ready."

Mr. Peng nodded, then smiled at Walid and said, "The plane is ready for its maiden flight."

Walid immediately smiled and nodded, then took the telescope handed over by his entourage, and everyone walked to the observation deck together.

"Wow, this plane is so beautiful."

Hassan was pleasantly surprised. This was the first time he saw a fully formed aircraft, especially one with camouflage paint on the outside. It seemed like it was prepared for them.

"Yeah, so beautiful."

Faisal also said this, but added in his mind, "It would be better if it was more practical."

Yang Xiaotao stood beside Wadley with his arms folded across his chest.

"Mr. Yang, this Desert Eagle looks great."

As soon as Wadley finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao knew what he wanted to ask.

"Mr. Wadley, the Desert Eagle was designed according to the original performance. According to the agreement, its maximum altitude is about 28,000 meters, and its maximum speed can reach Mach 2.8."

"Of course, at this speed, the aircraft's engine and fuselage will be damaged, and the aircraft will need maintenance after landing."

"If it follows the normal Mach 2 cruising speed, the Desert Eagle should have no problem."

Yang Xiaotao briefly introduced the design data, which were agreed upon at the beginning.

Wadley naturally understood, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, especially now that the results were about to come out, he was even more nervous.

"It's about to begin."

Yang Xiaotao said softly, asking Wadley to look forward.

"Tower, tower, this is Aircraft One, requesting takeoff."

"Agreed to take off."

Immediately, the Desert Eagle on Runway 1 began to taxi under the control of the pilot, and then flew into the sky under the expectant gaze of everyone.

In front of the observation deck, everyone held the telescope tightly in both hands, afraid of missing every second.

"Tower, tower, this is No. 2, requesting takeoff."

"agree."

With the successful takeoff of the first plane, Wang Minghai's voice trembled a little.

Immediately afterwards, the second plane began to taxi and then soared into the sky.

The two planes quickly formed a team in the air, which was also a plan arranged before the first flight.

Since there are guests coming to inspect the work, we naturally have to make it look beautiful.

So, under the command of Wang Minghai, the two planes quickly got into shape and proceeded according to plan.

"Wow~"

Faisal couldn't help but exclaimed. Just now, two planes flew side by side at low altitude, and the pilots on the planes saluted to the people below.

But then, Faisal had no chance to close his mouth.

The two planes were seen climbing rapidly upwards, and at this moment the voice in the control tower sounded again and again, reporting the altitude of the planes.

At 20,000 meters, Wadley clenched his fists and felt the plaid cloth on his head was wet with sweat.

At 23,000 meters, Wadley almost jumped up with excitement.

At this altitude, His Royal Highness has completed his mission.

As a pilot, I know the significance of this even more.

Being so high not only increases privacy, but also security.

Hassan was clapping his hands and thighs, while his other hand did not forget to hold the telescope.

The cool and refreshing autumn weather in Sijiu City allowed them to see clearly by craning their necks.

Twenty-five thousand meters.

This is the plane's final altitude. It's not that it can't fly higher, but there's really no need to do so.

So, after reaching 25,000 meters, the two planes began to fly freely.

Three minutes later, the two planes were flying towards each other in an airspace of six thousand meters.

At this moment, everyone in the observation deck became nervous.

Then the actual speed of the plane was announced over the radio.

Mach 1, Mach 1.5, Mach 2, Mach 2.5.

Finally, the two planes sprinted at a speed of Mach 2.5.

The people on the observation deck only saw the two lines approaching quickly, and then passing each other in the blink of an eye.

In the telescope's field of view, the two lines are almost close together.

But in fact, the distance between the two planes was more than 100 meters.

Even so, at the moment the planes crossed each other, the sound waves from each other were transmitted to the other's fuselage, causing the planes to vibrate slightly.

Originally, the two pilots were thinking of taking things easy, but now it seems that stability is the priority.

The two of them exchanged a brief conversation on the communicator, then began to descend, preparing to land.

At this time, everyone, whether it was the people on the observation deck or around the airport, was sweating.

Whether you can fly up is very important.

But whether or not you can land safely is more important.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the first plane began to land.

The tires rubbed against the runway with a hissing sound, and then the plane slowed down and glided on the runway.

Before everyone had time to celebrate, another plane began to land.

Five minutes later, the two planes stopped in the middle of the airport.

All around, there was a roar of cheers.
