In the vast space, hundreds of people were busy on the ground, and dozens of forklifts and other vehicles were constantly being mobilized.

Above the "sky", there are countless unknown small aircraft flying through it. This is a sight that is beyond their understanding.

I even saw some aircraft with things hanging on their pliers, seemingly transporting...

this......

The sound of footsteps, breathing, the sound of metal hitting from somewhere, and the sound of someone shouting in harmony.

Busy and organized.

Realistic, with a touch of science fiction.

They never imagined that they would see such a scene when they came in.

And that...

Their goal...

The car kept driving close to the side, blocked by various materials and columns, and Kunpeng's terrifying figure was always looming.

It is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture...

Because it's so huge...

Chen Guorong looked back and smiled even more brightly.

At this time, a guide bionic aircraft flew over and followed the moving car directly, and Bai Xi's voice came from it.

"Director Lin, why are you here? What's going on?"

Chen Guorong has become accustomed to these little things and said with a smile: "The test pilots are finally here, I'll bring them to see it."

The guide bionic aircraft said: "Okay, you take them to see it first, I can't leave here."

"It's okay, Mr. Bai, go ahead and get busy."

The Guide Bionic Aircraft seemed to nod and flew away.

The two test pilots rubbed their eyes

Were you dazzled just now?

With a "swish" sound, the sight suddenly opened up, and the car finally drove into the core part of the "Cloud Room".

Chen Guorong pointed at the steel behemoth that almost looked like an airplane...

"That's Kunpeng!"

The sense of oppression brought by the huge body reaches people's hearts.

Suddenly, the two test pilots, who were supposed to be known for their boldness and composure, felt a sense of unease...

Chen Guorong pointed to the steel platform more than ten meters in the distance, now known as the "command platform," and said to the two test pilots:

"That's our chief engineer, Kunpeng's mother, Bai Xi. You may have heard of her name."

Li Gang and Gu Bo were confused. The master of domestic aircraft design...

There seems to be no one with the last name Bai...

Not to mention women...

Their eyesight was excellent, and they could feel the eyes of the overly young "chief engineer" following them while the car was driving.

Wait, these bionic aircraft...

Baixi?!

Bai Zetongming’s CEO? ! !

About two hours later, Bai Xi was free and came down from the command platform.

At this time, the two test pilots, led by Chen Guorong, had already circled Kunpeng seventeen or eighteen times.

In addition to knowing how to drive, they also need to systematically understand many engineering issues in order to deal with possible emergencies during test flights.

Although a master's degree in engineering in the aviation field is nothing to the 611 Institute, they do not need to engage in research and development and manufacturing, they just need understanding.

Bai Xi shook hands with the two test pilots: "Hello."

Li Gang and Gu Bo quickly stepped forward to shake hands.

Even though I had digested it for two hours, I was still shocked that "Bai Ze Tongming CEO" was the chief engineer of Shenfei.

This melon is so big that it’s hard to digest!

Bai Xi asked, "Have you two ever driven a Xuanniao before?"

Li Gang and Gu Bo shook their heads in embarrassment.

Although the production of "Xuanniao" is gradually increasing, it has not yet reached the level of "popularization". Being able to drive a Xuanniao depends on one hand on strength and on the other hand on opportunity.

Their captain did visit, but there was no communication. The captain has not returned to the team for a long time.

The two were deployed mainly because they had rich experience in driving "two-seater aircraft", such as H-76, IL-, and some civil aviation passenger aircraft.

"It's okay. The cockpit layout logic of Kunpeng is similar to that of Xuanniao, and Xuanniao's cockpit is inherited from Shenfei. You have all flown the J-10, right? You should adapt quickly."

The two of them nodded quickly. The J-10 had never been fired, so they could go home directly.

"You have your own study arrangements. The cockpit system, fuel-power system, and aerodynamic characteristics of the wing body shape are tight and the tasks are heavy. I will arrange for you to rotate in each group."

The biggest difference between the "Kunpeng Project Team" and other aircraft development projects is the word "fast"!

The two test pilots probably have to get used to it quickly.

After a brief exchange, Bai Xi asked them to familiarize themselves with the team first. He would not follow up the test pilots' training throughout the process, as there would be someone to teach and assess them.

After arranging the two people to leave, Bai Xi and Chen Guorong chatted for a while.

"Looking at it today, the progress has been advanced again?"

Bai Xi shook his head. "It's not ahead of schedule. We're maintaining a steady pace and plan to complete it by the end of June or early July. Final commissioning will take about two weeks."

"The test flight time...is tentatively scheduled for mid-July. If the test pilot is slow, we can postpone it."

Chen Guorong looked at Kunpeng and nodded, saying, "You are the chief designer. We will follow your pace. This speed has exceeded our imagination. If there is any delay, don't feel stressed. Plan, plan, and there will be delays. Haha."

The two of them just stood on the ground, looking up at "Kunpeng".

After a long time, Chen Guorong suddenly said, "It's really beautiful, even more beautiful than the design."

Bai Xi also agreed: "Yes."

Chen Guorong was a little absent-minded...

"I remember when I first joined Shenfei... the conditions were very difficult. Most aircraft had to be modified according to the original designs of the Russian Bear... To put it bluntly, it was just imitation. The national industrial foundation was too weak at the time..."

"But even if we could replicate it, we're still not capable of it... We lack funding, personnel, and technology, so we can only choose one direction to move forward."

"Bombers are purely for 'offensive' purposes compared to fighter jets. We gave up bombers at that time and spent all our energy and expenses on 'fighter' direction. Because the leaders at the time believed that our primary task was 'defense' , not 'offensive'. 'Self-protection', not 'deterrence'"

Bai Xi nodded. Compared to the "fighter jets" that have never given up chasing, the bombers have indeed been stagnant for many years.

Even the test pilots didn’t have any professional counterparts.

From the perspective of those years, the judgment is actually correct. Bombers are 100% offensive models, while fighters can be used both offensively and defensively.

This choice reflects the background of the times to a certain extent.

"Being blocked" and "hostile" are the norm. Internal development is in dire need, and the external environment is surrounded by wolves.

The use and planning of force are extremely restrained and low-key. Only when it is absolutely necessary will they be forced to attack the capital of others.

Oh... it's all tears if I say too much...

Many people say that bombers no longer adapt to the times, but they have never considered that the times are changing and the role of the Republic is also changing.

If you just want to protect yourself and be a "dormant" who develops quietly, then bombers are naturally meaningless. But if you are forced to sit on the chessboard and become one of the players, then bombers are indispensable.
