Seeing that MacLehose and Guo Desheng were separated, his face was not very good, but it made Huo Yingdong very happy. It must have been Guo Desheng who did not get a satisfactory result, and it is likely that he was still a little angry. It seems that sometimes you must not mess with honest people, otherwise it will make people even more angry when you talk.

The charity auction is just a passing scene, and everyone is just showing a little bit of heart. After the dinner, MacLehose and his wife specially bid farewell to everyone who came to the banquet at the door. This was not a common occurrence during his tenure, and it seems that MacLehose also knew the importance of making friends with Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong.

Just when the General Government held a Christmas charity dinner, in the weasel factory of Heiyun Group in Tin Shui Wai. Everyone does the final test work on the computer, and if the desired effect is achieved on the computer, then the next step is to prepare for the test flight.

On the surface, there are only 200 people in the weasel factory, but there are more than 20,000 people in the ground effect aircraft project. Purchasers who source parts all over the world, general workers who process parts on the shop floor, engineers who make titanium alloys for them in steel mills. It can be said that these people are all participants in the project, but they do not know the specific situation until now.

Bao Zixuan sat in front of the main control computer screen, listening to the reports of various departments. Although it is only a computer simulation test, the effect is not much different from the actual test.

Bao Zixuan on the drawings of the Germans, only part of the content has been changed. The main thing is that the engine has been modified, and the Black Cloud three-rotor turbojet engine has long been finalized. Only some changes were made, and the design of some British Harrier fighters was applied, so that the engine had a certain upward force.

In addition, the material has been improved to make the metal stronger and more stable, and at the same time lighter. This is mainly due to the purchase of a large amount of titanium alloys in the Soviet Union, as well as a large number of rare earth resources provided by Huaxia. This ground effect aircraft has a qualitative leap compared to the original, after all, the Germans don't have so many excellent resources. Otherwise, with their industrial and scientific and technological strength, where would the Soviets be an opponent.

The engineers input the data of each component into the computer, and combined with the powerful computing power of the Black Cloud GY1 computer, there is a feeling that the ground effect aircraft seems to appear in front of everyone.

At this time, Bao Zixuan's beard was very long, and it is estimated that he had not been sorted out for a long time. The hair is all long on one side, probably because of the previous cut. If you don't know him well, you won't recognize him. After all, this appearance is too far from the feeling of the richest man in Xiangjiang, and it is by no means the spiritual guy that people imagine.

Bao Zixuan said to everyone: "Colleagues, after 3 months of hard work, Heiyun's first ground effect aircraft, Xiangjiang Monster, is about to meet you. Although we have already assembled it, no one can guarantee that he will be okay until then. ”

"Fortunately, we have the most complete industrial computer and large-scale simulation software in the world, otherwise you would have taken a lot of risks in the early actual testing. Now what we have to do is to find out the shortcomings of each component, as well as any risks that may be faced during the flight, only the more adequate the preparation in the early stage, to the actual flight can make the user safer. ”

Seeing that everyone had serious expressions, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You don't have to be too nervous, you have to believe in yourself and our teammates." ”

"Now I announce the start of the first comprehensive simulation test of the Xiangjiang Monster, and everyone will implement it according to the established plan. ”

At this time, I saw that all the engineers were typing instructions on the keyboard, although this is already the most advanced computer in the world, but it cannot be fully automated, and a large number of engineers are required to operate.

I heard an engineer say, "Boss, the engine is asking to be turned on." ”

Bao Zixuan: "You can turn on the machine and carefully observe the data." ”

After a short period of command, a sound was heard from the ground effect aircraft on the large screen. After the 8 turbojet engines are started, the sound is very loud, after all, where is the thrust.

Step-by-step detection of various equipment on board the aircraft began. Although it is all done through computer instructions, it is also done in a good way.

After Bao Zixuan pressed the enter button, the aircraft began to sprint forward quickly. The all-metal fuselage accelerates like a whale on the water, and the overall feeling is spectacular.

After taxiing for less than 100 meters, the aircraft finally took off. The scene was immediately cheered, if the computer can fly, then there must be no problem with the real thing. After all, they are all imitated according to one-to-one, but there is one more real.

Bao Zixuan was also observing the flying attitude of the aircraft, and the speed continued to increase as it continued to increase. The attitude of the entire aircraft has changed somewhat, and the engineers hastened to check it in the computer. Looking at such powerful simulation software, everyone feels that this development is really worth it.

Not only can it save a lot of experimental costs in the early stage, but also the problems that occur in the computer simulation process can be analyzed in the first time. This allows engineers to make changes to the product as soon as possible, so that similar problems do not occur in formal testing.

The speed is increasing little by little, from 100 kilometers per hour, to 200 kilometers per hour, and at this time it has reached 500 kilometers, and the aircraft still has no problems at all. The main thing is that the engine has an output of only 30%, which is fully in line with the design standards, after all, the simulation is only equipped with 200 tons of cargo.

When the engine reached 800 km/h, everyone was nervous. After all, the engine is running at full speed at this point, and this has reached the peak value of theory.

Seeing that the engine still had the ability to continue to speed up, Bao Zixuan decisively entered the afterburner command. Now it's just a mock test, and if it's a real test flight, he wouldn't dare do it.

Sure enough, at a speed of 836 km/h, all sorts of problems began to arise with the dashboard. A lot of signal indicators start to warn, and the computer responds by reducing speed and landing quickly.

Bao Zixuan ignored it and began to increase the throttle output. When the speed reaches 890 km/h, the engine stops and the speed naturally decreases.

After the aircraft landed in the sea, the engineers watched the computer analyze the data. This is first-hand information, and it has important data support for the future improvement of the aircraft.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Very good, very powerful. We have completed the first step of testing, and we can say that we have exceeded the set goal. I hope you can keep up the good work, because victory is just around the corner. Carefully check the data, after all, once the actual test flight is related to human life, there is no room for sloppiness. ”

In fact, what really surprised Bao Zixuan was that the things left by the Germans could really be useful, and he had not heard that they had produced such products at that time. Is it just by relying on the expectation to design the product so perfectly, the real strength of this designer is unimaginable. In the absence of any data to back it up, even he can't guarantee that he will do better. It would be nice to find a few of the German scientists who were in the middle of World War II.

Over the next few days, the weasel factory began to conduct simulation tests around the Xiangjiang monster. Whether it is in the desert, in the hills, or in a variety of complex ocean conditions, this aircraft performs very well.

Now it is not very meaningful for Bao Zixuan to participate in the simulation test, and the engineers are quite proficient in the use of software. More of his tasks began to detect the actual ground effect aircraft, and the Xiangjiang monster was in the Black Cloud Factory.

Engineers and technicians are doing the final outfitting and it is estimated that it will be ready for a test flight in a week at most. At this time, the engineers knew that the dawn was just around the corner, and no one wanted to be left behind at a critical moment. That's so sorry for the effort in the past few months, and they all want to witness the miracle that belongs to them.
