Hearing this, Hong Shengli didn't care about anything else, braved the rain and turned around and ran to the jeep where the radio station was set up, picked up the intercom and asked eagerly: "Is the plane okay?"

"Yes, the radar showed that everything was normal at an altitude of 9,000 meters, and it was always doing a hovering maneuver, and it was not affected by complicated weather. ”

"That's good, that's good~~"

Hong Shengli breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as the plane was fine, but the next moment the face that was dissatisfied with the rain became a little excited, it can fly normally at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and has the ability to operate under complex meteorological conditions, without the need for pilots to drive without the concern of personnel injury, and more importantly, it is produced by domestic enterprises, and it is easy to obtain.

All together, isn't this what they urgently need for their mission?

Thinking of this, the excited Hong Shengli suddenly became annoyed, and slapped his thigh: "Hey~~ I knew this was the case, so I installed the meteorological detection equipment and wasted a sortie in vain." ”

"Chief, there is already a set of meteorological detection equipment installed in it, which is placed in the nose, and the thunderstorm data this time is guaranteed to be collected completely. ”

Hong Shengli just felt that it was a pity that he didn't install the meteorological equipment, so Luan Heping over there wiped the rain on his face and replied innocently.

Hong Shengli's look of regret immediately froze on his face, but before he could find a step to resolve the embarrassment, Chen Fang in the car excitedly pulled Luan Heping's arm and shouted: "Really?

"Of course it's true, the equipment is borrowed from the provincial weather station, it's quite cumbersome, so the Tengfei factory dismantled all the counterweight of the drone nose, and barely loaded it in, the sensitivity is relatively average, and the data of our troops is not fine, and we have to do some supplementary analysis after coming back." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the key is that the situation of this thunderstorm is already very valuable to get first-hand information, you must know that our research on complex meteorology here in Xingzhou is very limited, and if you want to realize the all-weather complex meteorological flight of the aircraft in the future, these meteorological conditions need to be studied, so it doesn't matter whether you are fine or not, as long as there is data." ”

Chen Fang looked very excited, he didn't care if his glasses were wet from the rain, he took them off and stuffed them into his pockets, his emaciated face was even redder, just like a boiled crab, and the rain couldn't pour it.

No way, he is the technical staff officer of the weather station, and his position is equivalent to the chief engineer in the factory.

The only thing that is poor is the actual detection data, but it is a pity that the conditions of the troops are limited, and there are no meteorological satellites in space to control the overall situation, and there are no planes to help collect specific data at high altitudes.

We can only rely on the poor data obtained by ground stations and sounding balloons for analysis, and naturally we cannot grasp the complex and changeable meteorological dynamics.

So much so that the pilots of the unit did not even have a way to deal with the complicated weather, and they were lucky enough to break through the clouds and escape, but more often because of the weather, the plane was destroyed and people died.

Every time he encounters these things, Chen Fang is like a knife, and he can't wait to take the equipment to the sky and personally measure the data changes of complex meteorology.

It's a pity that this idea can only be realized in a dream, which Cheng thought that today's dream came true, how could Chen Fang not be excited.

Also excited is Yang Song, he is the same old weather as Chen Fang, and his thoughts are naturally the same, but he is much more practical than Chen Fang's scholarly anger, looking up at the gradually clearer sky, turning his head and asking Lao Luan: "I see that the engine of the plane is not big, the fuel volume is not much, and the endurance should not be high, Lao Luan, you understand the situation, tell me, what needs to be prepared by the ground crew, I will arrange it, strive to fly a few more flights today, and collect the meteorological data around our airport." ”

Luan Heping couldn't help but nod approvingly when he heard this, then raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said calmly: "Don't worry, when I watched the demonstration in the Tengfei Factory, I flew at a high altitude for more than four hours, and there is no reason to change it to us, so ...... wait."

"What are you talking about? Lao Luan...... The drone on it can fly for four hours? I'm a good girl, so big and small, fly for four hours, how do you do it?"

Before Luan Heping finished speaking, Yang Song screamed, no wonder Yang Song was like this, you must know that the most advanced J-7 of the Xingzhou Troops has a maximum range of more than 1,000 kilometers, in other words, without afterburner, you can fly for more than an hour at a speed of Mach 0.8.

If you turn on afterburner, you will be able to carry out combat missions, and the combat radius will only be more than 200 kilometers, and you will not be able to fly even for an hour.

And the drone in the sky actually has a battery life of four hours, Yang Song looked carefully before take-off just now, although the volume of the drone is not small, but the overall is much smaller than J-7, the power and fuel load of the engine are incomparable, even if the speed is slower than J-7, there is no reason to be able to last four hours in the sky.

Yang Song was incomprehensible, and even more incredible, so a series of questions were smashed at Luan Heping, Luan Heping was very depressed, if he knew, he would have taken it out and loaded it with a handful of 13, why bother to just say that the drone is good, the drone is wonderful, and the drone is croaking in the sky.

But Yang Song is his top boss after all, and when he asked a question, he couldn't help answering, and he was scratching his ears and cheeks thinking about how to say it, so he heard Hong Shengli say: "Yang Song, you are not an aviation expert, why do you ask so much, as long as the drone is easy to use, and you are tired of knowing so much about the rest? ”

When Yang Song heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, he swallowed it back, Hong Shengli was right, no matter how deep they dug the drone, it was useless, as long as it proved that this thing was easy to use, their key now is to complete the task, after all, they are just soldiers on mission, not experts in aviation technology.

So he didn't ask Luan Heping, but began to contact the ground staff, preparing to extract data after the drone landed, refill fuel, and strive to do a test flight before dinner.

Hong Shengli stayed at the airport from beginning to end, and he didn't even change his wet clothes, although he said it lightly to Yang Song, but in fact, he was more excited than Yang Song, and the reason why he said that was very simple, because he was faintly aware of the potential value of this kind of drone.

Due to the principle of confidentiality cultivated over the years, Hong Shengli feels that it is not a good thing to know too much about the situation before the superiors have a formal characterization, so it is better to put himself as a simple task executor.

But despite this, Hong Shengli still out of consideration for the future development of the Air Force, after returning overnight, he wrote a report to his superiors called "Complex Meteorological Data Analysis Report of a Military Airport in Xingzhou", and after writing a bunch of meteorological data and preliminary analysis collected that day, he focused on the role of UAVs in this meteorological monitoring mission and talked about his own views on the application of UAVs in other areas of the Air Force.

Then it was submitted early the next morning.

......

In an office on the fifth floor of the office building in the provincial capital, the army compound, the chief was sitting in the office looking at the report in his hand, and suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and the chief put down the report in his hand and shouted: "Come in." ”

Then Zheng Quanli pushed open the door and walked in with a straight posture, and the chief didn't talk nonsense, and handed the report in his hand to Zheng Quanli: "Take a look!"

Zheng Quanli took the report, glanced at it twice, then raised his head in surprise and looked at the chief: "How did they do it?"
