Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang immediately shouted to the radar monitoring personnel next to him: "Check the current position and flight speed of the fighter plane."

"Report, the fighter plane is too fast and it is difficult to capture its trace on the radar."

Li Dongfang felt his hands and feet were cold. He had no other options now and could only leave it to fate. If the test pilot could not wake up in time, the fighter plane might crash in an instant.

And this is the case when the afterburner is stopped. If the fighter is still in the afterburner state, it is probably completely hopeless. The best case scenario is that the plane cannot withstand the extreme speed and disintegrates in the air. If it crashes into the ground, at this speed, Li Dongfang has no idea what the consequences will be.

No one at the scene said a word. The huge airport was completely silent except for the sound of the wind. Everyone clenched their fists and prayed for the test pilot in their hearts, hoping that no accidents would happen.

Li Dongfang also listened to the breathing sound on the intercom with a pale face, calling out from time to time, but there was no response from the other side.

Just when Li Dongfang was feeling worse and worse, suddenly a heavy gasp was heard from the intercom, just like a drowning person suddenly surfacing.

"Young Eagle, Young Eagle, report the situation!"

"Report... Report, the fighter plane is traveling at 2200 kilometers per hour, its flight attitude is normal, and its equipment is operating normally."

Hearing the reply, Li Dongfang, who had stood up excitedly, suddenly collapsed back into his chair. The people around him immediately burst into intense cheers. Suddenly, the entire airport seemed to come alive, erupting with a huge wave of sound.

Li Dongfang also suppressed the joy in his heart at this time, took two deep breaths and ordered: "Young Eagle, Young Eagle, maintain the speed, return immediately, return immediately."

"Eaglet received, Eaglet received, return immediately, return immediately."

Li Dongfang then put down the intercom and said to the radar monitor: "Monitor the movements of the fighter planes at any time and keep good records."

Seeing Li Dongfang stand up, someone else immediately took over and continued to keep in touch with the test pilot.

Li Dongfang took two steps and felt dizzy. He was even more exhausted than the eighth time, and his whole body seemed to be hollowed out.

Lin Shu took a step forward, supported Li Dongfang, and said angrily: "See if you still want to blow it, you are so weak!"

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? I was too nervous just now and suddenly relaxed. It's not like what you said was fake or not!" Li Dongfang rolled his eyes.

"Tsk~! You're just being stubborn!" Lin Shu helped Li Dong walk towards the rest area.

"What? You don't believe it? Then let's find a place and I'll prove it to you." Li Dongfang felt that he had to clarify the matter, otherwise how could he hold his head up in front of these women in the future.

"Just you? Forget it!... You have no shame, but I still have some... Okay, sit here, I'll get you some water." Lin Shu pushed Li Dongfang to sit down at the table in the rest area.

From afar, I watched the airport return to its orderly rhythm after the jubilation.

Li Dongfang secretly complained that the job of test flight was really risking one's life, and as for test flight command, one cannot do it well without a big heart. It would be better for him to work behind the scenes in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Dongfang took out his small notebook again and began to write down the test items, including the maximum take-off and landing distance, speed, various flying maneuvers, etc. He wrote down everything he could think of. As for what he couldn't remember, it didn't matter. Anyway, these were already ahead of the world for many years at this time.

Lin Shu came over with some water and saw Li Dongfang writing something. He put the cup aside and looked at his notebook.

The cobra maneuver, the falling leaves...it looked very powerful, but she didn't know what it meant, so she didn't ask much and just sat beside him, eating melon seeds to keep him company.

Not long after, the fighter plane roared down to the airport. The military industry leader and technicians came over with the test pilot. Li Dongfang also closed his notebook, looked at them and said, "Collect the data and see if there are any questions. We will discuss and solve them later."

With one sentence, the technicians were dismissed, leaving only the person in charge and the test pilot. Li Dongfang asked them to sit down, and then asked the test pilot: "Can you tell me what happened before and after you lost contact in the air?"

The test pilot thought about it and said with lingering fear: "At first I just felt a lot of pressure on my body, and gradually I couldn't see clearly, my eyes went black, and I lost consciousness in an instant. Then when I woke up, I found that the speed of the fighter plane had slowed down a bit. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back."

Li Dongfang nodded. It was similar to what he expected. After thinking for a while, he said to the person in charge of military industry, "Let our technicians design a plan. When the fighter plane's speed exceeds a certain limit, the afterburner controller should gradually increase the rebound force. This can effectively prevent the fighter plane from continuing to accelerate when the pilot loses consciousness."

After asking the test pilot about his other feelings during the flight, Li Dongfang let him leave.

He solemnly said to the person in charge of military industry: "Have someone check the fighter plane carefully. Not even a screw can be left out. Even if a screw is loose, it must be recorded."

After sending away the head of military industry, Li Dongfang continued to write and draw in his little notebook.

It was not until the sun was setting that the technician sent the data analysis. Li Dongfang took a look and found, as expected, that there was no problem. Moreover, looking at the stability of the data, it could be determined that the fighter plane had not reached its speed limit. However, Li Dongfang had no other choice. This test pilot already had the strongest ability to withstand stress. Unless he got a space suit, there would be no way to go faster.

The head of the military industry also came over and said: "After a preliminary inspection of the fighter, the outer shell of the aircraft has been slightly deformed. It needs to be repaired or replaced. It is estimated that it will take one or two days."

Li Dongfang nodded and asked, "How serious is the deformation, and how much impact will it have on flight?"

The head of the military industry thought for a moment and said, "Our people have analyzed that the deformation is very minor, and there is no problem with normal flight or even non-high-intensity combat. But since we are doing a test, we must keep the fighter in the best condition at all times. This is also responsible for the pilots."

Li Dongfang nodded, feeling that it should be a welding problem. The MiG-25's exterior design had been tested countless times in actual combat, so the problem could only be with the material or the welding process.

"I've sorted out the follow-up projects for the test flight today. Let's meet tomorrow to see how to arrange them. We need to finish this as soon as possible so that we can hand it in. Otherwise, the boss will be worried." Li Dongfang said with a smile.

The head of the military industry smiled and said, "You are about to become famous. This is a groundbreaking fighter jet. Moreover, it has only been a short time since the project was launched. It's simply..." He patted Li Dongfang on the shoulder, shook his head and left.
