"Mr. Chen, can you help us ask Mr. Vance whether this helicopter can really fly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters?" The comrade next to Li Jianguo, who was wearing a suit but obviously carrying the unique risks of a soldier, said impatiently to Chen Geng.

Although Chen Geng is not a translator, who made him have a good relationship with Cyrus Roberts Vance, he nodded, turned his head and chatted with Cyrus Roberts Vance, and then said to the members of the Chinese delegation who were looking at him: "Yes, Mr. Vance answered me very clearly, the 'aerial crane' can fly to that height."

Of course, that is the military version of the CH-54B, this civilian version of the S-64 will not work, and the civilian version of the S-64 can only fly to an altitude of 9867 meters. ”

The civilian version can also reach a flight altitude of 9867 meters?

The members of the delegation quickly glanced at each other, and there was a bit of surprise in their eyes: not to mention 10,010 meters, 9,867 meters is enough.

Chen Geng coughed lightly and reminded them: "Everyone, this flight altitude is a flight altitude that can only be reached when there is no load, and the practical ceiling under normal weight, maximum weight, and maximum total weight are two completely different things from this, don't get confused."

As far as I know, the practical ceiling of the US military's CH-54A is 3962 meters, and the hovering ceiling is 3231 meters in the case of ground effect...... However, I don't know how much load these two data were obtained, so I ......"

He shrugged his shoulders and gave a "you know" look before adding, "But what is certain is that both of these figures are much lower than the Black Hawk helicopter." ”

"I see......"

The representatives of the Chinese delegation discussed in whispers: No wonder the old man said that Chen Geng was "a good friend of the Chinese people", if it wasn't for Mr. Chen Geng telling us this, maybe we would have been cheated by the damned Americans.

"Mr. Chen," Li Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "Then do you know" and do you know what the practical ceiling of the 'Black Hawk' helicopter is?"

"It's about 5,800 meters," Chen Geng said, "if I'm not mistaken." ”

The practical ceiling can reach 5800 meters?!

There was a low exclamation from the crowd.

........................

Cyrus Roberts Vance, who didn't care much about the content of Chen Geng's chat with the Chinese delegation, listened to the content of Chen Geng's exchange with the Chinese delegation whispered by the translator next to him, and suddenly couldn't sit still: If you confess everything to the Chinese people, how can we fool these fools?

Finally seeing an opportunity, Cyrus Roberts Vance, who was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet, quickly pulled Chen Geng aside, and desperately lowered his voice and said: "Hey, man, don't be so serious, right? Anyway, these Chinese people are very stupid ......."

These people, stupid, are as easy to deceive as stupid roe deer, since they are so easy to deceive, why don't we deceive them ruthlessly?

Are you stupid?

That's what Cyrus Roberts Vance had to say.

"Mr. Vance," Chen Geng interrupted Cyrus Roberts Vance's words and looked at him seriously: "Please don't forget, I am the chief consultant of Huafang, and this product is recommended by Huafang, do you hope that I will ruin my reputation in Huaxia?"

"Uh...... This ......"

Cyrus Roberts Vance, who had just been talking about it, was suddenly dumbfounded by Chen Geng's words, and he realized the impropriety of his move: if this incident happened in Huaxia, Chen Geng, as a Chinese, would have considered himself as a traitor nine times out of ten. Traitor, but this is the United States, Chen Geng's approach is not despised, but is considered a sign of professional ethics: since others have paid to hire you, you have to be right with your own professional ethics.

In terms of American morality, there is nothing to blame for Chen Geng's previous actions, on the contrary, if Chen Geng is not so serious and responsible, it will be a dereliction of duty, and if his actions are spread, not many people will dare to cooperate with him in the future - who made you have no professional ethics?

Looking at the speechless Cyrus Roberts Vance, Chen Geng unceremoniously beat the water dog, and honestly said to Cyrus Roberts Vance: "Besides, Mr. Vance, where are you? Don't forget, it was Sikorsky who paid your salary, not the Pentagon."

It seems that you Sikorsky are still preparing to sell the 'Black Hawk' helicopters to the Huaxia government, do you know how much impact it will affect Sikorsky's business if the Huaxia people find out that they have been deceived in this batch of 'Tahe' according to the fool you just did?"

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, a layer of fine cold sweat instantly appeared on Cyrus Roberts Vance's forehead: he almost made a big mistake!

My position is wrong!

From the perspective of Sikorsky's executive vice president, he should try his best to facilitate this deal, and it is best to let the Pentagon give this batch of CH-54A/B with sensitive military equipment dismantled to the Chinese talents, on the one hand, the more second-hand CH-54A/B the Chinese people buy, the more maintenance parts will be purchased from Sikorsky in the future, and on the other hand, it will also let the Chinese people see Sikorsky's sincerity: we are very sincere in doing business with you......

Cyrus Roberts Vance, who reacted, trembled in his voice when he thanked Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, thank you...... Thank you really, really much......"

"Do you know what you should do?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes," Cyrus Roberts Vance nodded busily: "Mr. Fernandez, please rest assured, I will do my best to persuade the Pentagon to dispose of this batch of decommissioned rags to the Huaxia government as a ...... of American support for the Huaxia government's rebellion against the damned Soviet Union."

"That's right. Chen Geng had a relieved expression of "teachable".

........................

After being reprimanded by Chen Geng, after coming back again, Cyrus Roberts Vance's attitude was much more correct, such as the next demonstration project, Cyrus Roberts Vance said passionately: "Friends from China, the next thing I will show you is the ability of the 'aerial crane' to transport personnel and materials.

Sikorsky designed a variety of dedicated personnel and material transport pods for the 'Tach', which could be docked and disengaged from the fuselage very easily, and the whole process was very ......."

With the assistance of more than a dozen sweaters, in less than two minutes, the pod docked with the helicopter and fixed in place, and then the helicopter quickly lifted off with the pod......

It was just a demonstration of use, and the "aerial crane" carrying the personnel pod rose to a height of about 100 meters and slowly descended, and after landing on the ground, the ground staff immediately rushed up, separated the personnel pod from the fuselage, and then installed a medical rescue pod with the Red Cross logo, and the whole process lasted less than five minutes......

Looking at the helicopter that was busy and unchaotic to take off again, some of the people in the delegation suddenly became a little commotion, and looked at the helicopter and the special pod in the sky with a deep envy: this thing is really flexible and convenient.

In the following display, the powerful and comprehensive performance of the "aerial crane" was an eye-opener for these officials and officers from China who had never seen the world, and made them realize that helicopters can actually play like this, such as ......

“...... We have designed pods for various purposes for the 'aerial crane', including a special fire extinguishing system designed for fire extinguishing, the core of which is a water tank with a capacity of 7 cubic meters, with the help of a powerful water suction system, it only takes more than 20 seconds to fill the water tank......"

With the introduction of Cyrus Roberts Vance, the "aerial crane" in the air, which had just been equipped with a fire extinguishing system, slowly descended to a height of three or four meters from the pool on the ground, accompanied by the roar of the propeller, the water level in the temporary pool was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, showing how powerful the water pump carried by this fire fighting system was.

Like what......

“...... We designed a compensation system for the winches, with which the helicopter can avoid the influence of air currents and other factors, and automatically retract and release the lifting cable when hovering, so as to ensure that the cargo maintains a constant ground clearance......"

As Cyrus Roberts Vance's words fell, the helicopter that had been hovering in the air suddenly fell down, and its height dropped by at least three or five meters, but with the help of the compensation system, the cargo hanging below did not move.

The representatives of the Huaxia delegation exclaimed, and then their eyes lit up: this function is too good, when the helicopter is hovering and operating, the biggest problem is that the airflow is unstable, the airflow is unstable, and the helicopter may fall in height at any time, but with this compensation system, if it is in the hoisting of the high-voltage transmission tower, there is no need to worry about the air attitude of the helicopter.

Another example......

“...... Sometimes, the weight of the materials we need to lift exceeds the limit of the helicopter's lifting capacity, for example, the weight of the materials is 15 tons, what should we do......?

Looking at the Carter medium-sized excavator on the ground that was slowly lifted into the air by two "aerial cranes" together, the Chinese delegation's envy and greedy saliva flowed to the ground:! It's fun! Lao Mei really knows how to play! I want to play too!
