Chapter 426: No Contrast, No Harm
It's no wonder that Marcelo is behaving now, because there is a small single-engine monoplane with the words "Chinese Air Force" and a military emblem painted on the fuselage hovering low on the Chinese side.
Seeing this scene, let alone Marcelo, Mendinger and even the younger Merkle opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes full of incredulity.
What's going on? How? How is this possible?
The three tortures that hit the soul were like resonant church bells in the hearts of the three of them, buzzing and reverberating.
Yes, how could China have small transport planes flying over the Himalayas without the help of the developed countries of Western countries?
You know, it's the Himalayas, with an average altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and the mountains behind the Chinese villages and towns on the opposite side reach an average altitude of 7,000 meters.
This requires that the supporting aircraft must be able to fly at altitudes of more than 8,000 meters for long periods of time.
It is not difficult to fly at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, as long as there is nothing wrong with the plane and an oxygen mask, the old aircraft of the World War II era can fly to this altitude.
But flying for a long time is not so simple, after all, the temperature is very low at this altitude, the oxygen is thin, and the air pressure is unbalanced, if you want to fly at this altitude for a long time, the oxygen supply inside the aircraft, the pressure maintenance, and the warmth measures must keep up, otherwise the plane will not go to the sky to perform the mission, but to take the people on the plane to heaven.
However, in order to do this, it is necessary to increase the mechanical weight of the aircraft, which leads to the decline of the basic performance and flight quality of the aircraft.
However, this is only one aspect of long-term high-altitude flight, how to deal with the icing of wings and propellers? Is it necessary to install meteorological detection equipment when the climate on the plateau is changeable? The dynamic attenuation amplitude of high-altitude flight is obvious, how should the structure of the aircraft be adjusted? There is also fuel, wings, and even take-off and landing performance......
All in all, it's all technical puzzles that are enough to drive aircraft designers crazy.
If nothing else, the Dornier-228 small transport plane, which is now being hyped by New Delhi and the Federal Republic of Germany, is difficult to do, and although the Federal Republic of Germany's manufacturer Baba went to China to sell it, the plan they gave was not to directly cross the six or seven thousand meters of high-altitude mountains, but to propose long-distance support for the southern Tibetan region from southern Yunnan.
As a result, the average altitude of the route is only about 5,000 meters, and the Dornier-228 small transport aircraft can achieve the task of flying directly to the southern part of Tibet without major changes.
However, if the Dornier-228 small transport plane is allowed to take off from the high-altitude area of Tibet and travel a long distance of six or seven thousand meters through the Himalayas, although the Germans give the index that the Dornier-228 small transport plane has a maximum altitude of 8,500 meters.
But in fact, that is a theoretical limit index, whether it can fly, can it fly, but it can't last long, because the various auxiliary systems on the DORNIER-228 small transport aircraft simply can't support such high long-term sailing conditions.
After all, when this aircraft was originally designed, it was designed with reference to the environment of the Great Plains of Europe, and the ideal mission altitude was only about 3,000 meters at medium and low altitudes.
Despite this, the Dornier-228 small transport aircraft, which claims to use composite materials, is not outstanding in various indicators, and although the payload reaches 2.3 tons in the case of twin engines, the maximum flight distance is only 1,100 kilometers.
Combined with complex pressurization, air circulation, rapid de-icing and a series of avionics, the performance of the DORNIER-228 is instantly compromised.
Not only Germany's Dornier-228 small transport aircraft, but also the similar models in Britain and France, but even so, they feel that their own is 108,000 miles stronger than China, because so far, China does not even have such a model, so what else to say, naturally they want to despise you, crush you, and then press on the ground to rub you, and finally pull out the sickle and cut off this Chinese leek completely.
However, just as the interests of Britain, France, and Germany were sharpening their knives and continuing to put pressure on China to cut a wave of leeks with a small transport plane that was not suitable for long-distance flights on the plateau, an airplane that could freely travel through high-altitude areas jumped out from the north of the Himalayas.
How could Marcelo and the others not be shocked.
However, contrary to Marcelo's shock and incredulity, the local people, officials, and even the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison cheered bursts of cheers when they saw the Y-6 plane of the Chinese Air Force, and some excited officials even took the lead in shouting "Long live New Delhi!"
Apparently they treat the planes of the Chinese Air Force as their own.
It's no wonder that New Delhi has been touting that they will be sending the world's most advanced, fully indigenously produced Dornier-228 small transport aircraft to the disaster.
The victims of Keruger Town did not even see a single plane, but now a plane suddenly flew towards them, and the victims immediately thought about it as their own, and shouted excitedly.
As for the Chinese characters that are evident on the planes and the insignia of the Chinese Air Force, when the enemy does not even know a few of their own characters, can they still be expected to know the characters of other countries?
Not to mention them, even those officials and garrisons are not much better.
Anyway, New Delhi told them that it would come on the plane, and now it's coming, it's their own.
So they cheered, sang and danced, and in the crazy excitement and excitement of cheers, the Y-6 that was hovering in the air finally lowered its altitude, and then landed beautifully on a piece of open space six or seven hundred meters long that had just been leveled.
The crowd in Rugel Town, which was still cheering, suddenly stopped abruptly like a duck that was choked by the neck, and countless pairs of eyes stared directly at the plane on the Chinese side, unable to say a word for a long time, it was a terrible silence.
"How did our plane stop in China?" a local old man asked the official next to him in surprise.
......The official hesitated, but before he could answer, he saw a bright red five-star red flag poking out of the cabin and slowly unfurling in the breeze.
At this time, the hatch at the tail of the Yun 6 was lifted high, enough for two people to enter and exit side by side in the huge space densely stacked with military compressed biscuits, essential medicines and other disaster relief materials, a lieutenant in military uniform shouted to the victims: "Fellow villagers, the country has not forgotten you, we are the first batch of rescue teams to arrive here, and there are four planes of the same type with full of disaster relief materials will arrive immediately, fellow villagers, please keep order, according to the distribution of disaster relief materials according to each household." ”
As soon as the words fell, the victims on the Chinese side broke out into cheers again, and then consciously lined up, and the crew members, with the cooperation of the local garrison, began to distribute supplies to the victims.
There is no harm without contrast.
The residents of Ruger Town just quietly watched the scene on the Chinese side, silent, silent, silent could only hear their stomachs rumbling because of hunger, and finally a middle-aged man broke the silence and suddenly grabbed the neck of an official next to him, and shouted: "Where is our food, where are our supplies?"
As he spoke, he smashed a punch into the face of an official, and with an immediate bang, the entire Ruger was in chaos.
