"Chief, are you still there?"

The officer on duty on the other side of the tower saw that Hong Shengli suddenly stopped moving, and hurriedly asked, only then did Hong Shengli come back from his surprise and hurriedly replied: "You wait first, we have to go to the airport to have a look, after all, it is a test project, and it must be foolproof, eh...... Is there a training assignment today?"

"There were showers today and thick clouds, so the training was canceled at the headquarters. ”

"Okay, set aside two routes for me and wait for my news. After Hong Shengli finished explaining, he put down the phone, turned his head and instructed Yang Song and Chen Fang: "Ask a few people to bring the radio station that communicates with the tower and follow me to the airport." ”

"Yes!" Yang Song and Chen Fang responded in unison and quickly turned around and went out, Hong Shengli then picked up his military hat and walked out of his office quickly.

......

Aerodrome......

Luan Heping patted the wings more than five meters long beside him, and surrounded him with curiosity, and the ground crew who looked up and down carefully smiled hehehe: "Do you old people understand? ”

"I've heard of the name drone for the first time, what do you do with this thing?

A ground officer with an accent looked up and down, and thought it was amazing, this guy in front of him was about to catch up with a small plane with people, but he didn't even have a cockpit, how to start? How to fly into the sky?

However, as soon as these words came out, before Luan Heping could answer, another young ground staff officer said: "UAV, to put it bluntly, is a larger model of aviation, with remote control." ”

As he spoke, he nodded at Lin Guanghua, who was holding a remote control device not far away: "Look over there, it's the remote control." ”

The officer with the accent immediately suddenly said: "It turned out to be a model, I will say Le, this wing is uneven, not bent, in my experience, the speed must be average." ”

Hearing this, the young ground officer quickly took off his hat, lowered his head and looked at the wing fuselage, and exclaimed at a glance: "You're really not wrong, this wing is really not straight, but has an arc that is concave into it, it's strange hey." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and gave a thumbs up to the officer with the accent just now: "Lao Zhang, it's still good in your eyes, you really can't find this arc if you don't look carefully." ”

Lao Zhang smiled proudly: "That's it, my family has been a carpenter for several lifetimes, horizontal and vertical is the basic skill, my father has taught me this since I was a child." ”

"Yo~~ I didn't see it, Lao Zhang, do you still know how to work as a carpenter?"

"What? It's not like that, I'm not blowing it to you, Xiao Duan, I made all the furniture in my house myself. ”

"No, isn't it~~" Xiao Duan waved his hand again and again, and then said a little embarrassed: "Aren't I going to get married in a few days, the furniture in the state-run store is too expensive, so ...... Lao Zhang, can you help me make a few sets? Don't worry, I still have a few bottles of good wine over there, and I will never let you work in vain. ”

"Hey, it's all a comrade-in-arms from the same army, why are you so angry? You prepare the materials, and I'll help you get them after two days off. Lao Zhang was very happy, and Xiao Duan immediately smiled: "Okay, let's settle it." ”

......

There are many people like Lao Zhang and Xiaoduan near the drone, because there is no training task, so the airport is not busy, and suddenly saw Luan Heping assembling the drone on the airport, and these people came around with curiosity.

After some evaluation, I didn't see a few benefits, and the disadvantages were to find a lot.

What is the shape of the wing's slight abduction, what is the tail too thin, what propeller is placed behind the butt, what fuel is gasoline instead of aviation kerosene, in a word, what is the use of an airplane model with a little enlargement? At best, it is just a chicken rib, and it is not very valuable.

So no one is optimistic about this drone, in the words of a pilot who ran over to join in the fun, that is, even a manned plane can't do things, remote control things can do? No matter how fast the electrical signal responds, does the pilot's head react quickly?

If this is said in the era of AI in a few decades, many people may laugh at it, but in the 80s, it was as unquestionable as the truth.

So Luan Heping was sad, he originally wanted to show off in front of these comrades-in-arms who came over to see the excitement, but the result was good, there was nothing to show off, but it was so bad that people laughed at it openly and secretly.

Luan Heping was very depressed and wanted to explain, but before he could speak, a group of people were like Lao Zhang and Xiao Duan, who had already moved the topic to other places when they got together in twos and threes.

Seeing this, Luan Heping's big face turned red, how embarrassing it was, how embarrassing it was.

At this embarrassing juncture, Luan Heping jumped out of the jeep with the liaison radio, glanced at the strange plane in front of him, and then found Luan Heping and asked a question that made Luan Heping even more embarrassing: "Is the pilot enough to sit in such a small place?"

When he heard that the plane in front of him was a remote-controlled drone, Hong Shengli's brows immediately twisted into a pimple, and Luan Heping looked at it, and his leader was as suspicious as everyone else.

Hurriedly said: "Chief, it's okay, let's fly first and see, we have done so many attempts, and this one is not bad, isn't it ......"

Then he crackled and said a bunch of reasons, which can be summed up in one meaning, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, anyway, it's like this, why not try?

Hong Shengli really has no choice, otherwise, with his cautious temperament, he will definitely not try it if he has doubts, but now, as Luan Heping said, their task has reached this juncture, and one more kind may have more hope, even if it doesn't work, it can let the leaders above see that they have worked hard for this, and there is no merit but absolutely no fault.

So he thought about it for a moment and then nodded: "Then try it, I'll contact the tower." ”

Luan Heping breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned around and ran to Lin Guanghua's side and said with a bitter face: "Lao Lin, it's up to you this time, I have all my old faces, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Don't worry!"

Lin Guanghua replied very succinctly, and asked the following assistants to start making final preparations for take-off, and at the same time, Hong Shengli also let irrelevant people retreat to both sides of the runway, and then established contact with the tower, everything was ready, Lin Guanghua started the drone, and then the plane taxied, and it took off in a blink of an eye.

Then it climbed upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon disappeared into the thick clouds, and I don't know how long it took Hong Shengli to immediately pick up the radio and hear the tower: "Did the radar catch it?"

"Caught. ”

"How high?"

"Nine thousand meters. ”

As soon as the news of the tower came out, the people around the airport immediately let out a burst of exclamations, but they didn't expect that such a strange thing would reach so high in a blink of an eye.
