Nine hundred and eight refueling in the air
"What are you kidding!" Because now Li Huan's voice of dialogue is directly released, the Air Force staff officer couldn't cry or laugh after listening to Li Huan's question:" You don't have to think about these, there are no things, refueling in the air, that is a subject that does not need a special exam for old pilots, generally ace pilots can refuel with hoses in the air, and you are a civil airliner, civil airliner is different from a fighter, the fuel of a civil airliner is stored in the wing, the difficulty will be twice as difficult as the record, you can't complete this operation at all, don't think about it. ”
As soon as the Air Force staff officer said this, everyone also nodded, and the technology of in-flight refueling is indeed extremely high for pilots, and it is impossible for ordinary pilots to complete this action. Because when refueling in the air, the distance between the two planes in front of the front and one behind is usually not more than 50 meters, and even shorter by 20 meters, about 30 meters, at this distance, as long as the position of the two planes is slightly wrong, then it will cause a devastating disaster - for example, if the rear aircraft is slightly poorly controlled throttle, it will crash straight into the engine of the aircraft in front, or the aircraft in front of it is not well mastered when it is balanced and level, then the wake will have a fatal impact on the aircraft behind.
"What should I do? This is the best thing I can come up with, now that Jefferson is dead, no one will threaten this plane, and the most important failure of this plane is that I have no fuel, how can you let me fly without fuel? According to my navigation, if I fly at the current speed, I can support about thirty minutes at most. It was impossible to fly to our predetermined location in 30 minutes, and there was a problem, if I fell halfway, I would fall into the mountain, and if the plane crashed into the mountain, one accidentally caused a fire, that is, a primeval forest fire, and I could not afford this sin. ”
Li Huan's voice came from the speaker, everyone, look at me, I'll look at you - I have to admit that Li Huan is right.
At the beginning, in order to let him land safely, everyone demarcated an absolutely safe Huojiang area for him, the terrain in that area is very flat, and there is a huge lake, where the forced landing is the safest. It is a relatively safe landing area, both for the people on the plane and for the plane itself. But it's such a coincidence, the fuel on the plane, because of the long-term low-speed operation of the engine fuel consumption is amazing, how to say, now there are no other problems, mainly in the fuel.
If you don't have enough traffic, just like he said, everyone originally planned a safe forced landing route, but now Li Huan and the plane they are on are under a mountainous area with lofty mountains, and even cliffs standing. In this kind of place, if a plane accidentally falls, there is only a dead end, and there is no place to make a forced landing.
The in-flight refueling proposed by Li Huan is obviously not real, because no one believes that he is a rookie who can really complete the flight maneuvers that only ace pilots can complete.
"Stop the ink, trust me, I can. "The people in the terminal are wondering what to do, and Li Huan can't wait any longer. Jefferson died, and finally saw that the plane was safe, and if the plane crashed because there was no fuel, then he would have died unjustly: "You believe me, and if I can't refuel, you just let the tanker fly away, what's the big deal." ”
"Go, send a tanker, I believe this kid, he has always been very reliable. After thinking about it for a long time, Monk Chen made a decision directly: "Just like this kid said, it's a big deal that he won't be able to aim at the fuel filler at that time, so we will just call the tanker away, anyway, he is still sailing on the route he should go." Whether he can do it or not, it's not that we have the final say, since he thinks he can do it himself, then we will send the tanker over, anyway, it's just a flight by air, it's already reached this point, and we have to try any method. ”
"But......" The Air Force staff officer still wanted to say something, but Monk Chen's words were already very clear.
Even if Li Huan can't complete the air refueling action correctly in the end, it's a big deal to call the tanker back, and there will be no loss. It's nothing more than consuming a little jet fuel, and the jet fuel that we have a lot of resources is nothing. And if Li Huan is lucky, or he really has such an extraordinary ability to correctly complete the action of refueling in the air, then the next thing will be much easier, and their plane will no longer have to make a forced landing from the mountains, whether it is safety or subsequent rescue, it is much more convenient.
The staff officer of the Air Force thought of this and no longer persuaded him, so he made a phone call immediately.
......
Regardless of the arguments in the airport terminal for the time being, he likes to hold his sense of control, his palms are sweaty, although Xiao Fei's virtual screen has calculated all the flight parameters well, Li Huan just needs to fly according to it, but looking at the lower and lower aviation fuel volume on the fuel gauge, Li Huan still can't help but feel a little stunned.
He was actually just talking nonsense just now, and the difficult work of refueling in the air would be filmed as a special thrilling scene even in the movie, and he didn't think he could do it independently. However, he brought this up, but Xiao Fei immediately gave the answer, as long as the other party sent a tanker over, there would be no problem - although Li Huan had no flying experience, Xiao Fei could easily calculate various flight parameters - flying towards the intended target is flying, and performing in-flight refueling is also flying, no big deal.
"You said that if they really send the air tanker, will we have a way to complete the air refueling action perfectly?" Li Huan held the control stick and squinted at the two looming fighters in front of him. These two fighters have been doing the guidance, although Li Huan does not use them to guide, but someone accompanies them throughout the whole process, whether it is Li Huan or the passengers in the cabin, they feel much better in their hearts.
"No problem, as long as they send the tanker over, I can assist you in the in-flight refueling action. Xiao Fei wasn't worried about this, but she became interested in Li Huan's crazy rise in faith points: "Li Huan, I just calculated, since the first time you started, the faith points have skyrocketed to more than 16%, which means that according to the people on the earth, nearly 1.3 billion people already know about this." Although the number of points has not skyrocketed anymore, it is still growing at a uniform rate, and this speed is not slow......"
"Don't say anything, I'm sweating all over my hands right now, I just want to stop this plane, it's not my business alone. Li Huan couldn't help laughing: "What should I say about you, don't you even want your life for the sake of faith points?" I'm not exaggerating to tell you, I'm all hairy in my heart now. It's not that I'm afraid of the plane crashing, but how to explain it to my parents when I go back, if you think about it, people all over the world are looking at our planes, do you think my family people won't know? They will definitely know, and they don't call me now, they just don't want me to be distracted...... But I can assure you that as soon as we land safely, there will be a phone call, and I will be beaten up when I get back. ”
"What's this, it's good to want to open up something when you encounter something, I'm talking to you about faith points right now. Xiao Fei said: "You said that your faith points have reached a peak now, in fact, have you ever thought about it...... Let me evolve another form?"
When Xiao Fei said this, you will obviously feel that your mental power is fluctuating, because he and Xiao Fei share the same mental power system, and he can immediately know any thought fluctuations. Since Li Huan and Xiaofei merged, in fact, Li Huan's faith points or system energy have not been enough. So more forms of Xiaofei have not been unraveled. But after a few rounds of skyrocketing faith points, Xiao Fei can now enter the next form - Li Huanke has never forgotten that this AI that helped him reach the pinnacle of life is actually something from an alien planet.
As for Xiaofei's form, Li Huan knows about this.
Xiao Fei's first form is a robot with big eyeballs and two child machines, which is what Xiao Fei and Li Huan looked like when they were released from prison. Xiao Fei can bless Li Huan with various skills, and can be used as an auxiliary robot, which is the form that Xiao Fei has accompanied Li Huan for the longest time. As for the second form, it is the physical form that Xiao Fei evolved with faith points. After evolving into this form, Xiao Fei's intelligence is obviously much higher than before.
"By the way, you told me about these forms, I still remember that you are now in the second form, so what is your third form?" Saying this, Li Huan also became curious, and the pressure in his heart was slightly reduced: "I remember that at the beginning you told me that in order to save me, you used up your energy, in fact, I also really want to see what you look like after your energy is full, is it a machine, or a life?"
"Do you really have any plans to purify me into the third form? I thought you were just talking and playing!" As soon as Li Huan's words fell, he felt the spiritual power channel overflow
There was a huge joy, this joy was warm, obviously Xiao Fei reacted to Li Huan's words, she seemed to be unable to believe it and asked: "Are you serious about what you said? You have to swear to me that you didn't lie to me, you will definitely let me evolve to the third form, no matter how many faith points are consumed!"
"What I'm saying is true or false...... Don't you know? Have you forgotten that the two of us share the same body, and you can't tell which of the words I say is true and which is false, and you can't tell the difference between others?" Li Huan couldn't cry or laugh, but when Xiao Fei said this, he just said like a child: "Yes, that's right, I swear that I will definitely let you evolve to the third form, no matter how many faith points you spend, how much system energy you spend." ”
Almost at the same time as Li Huan finished speaking, Li Huan's sea of consciousness was filled with waves of joy.
It's just that one has evolved to the third state, why are you so happy?
However, Li Huan thought about it and immediately figured it out.
All of this is because I see Xiaofei as a living being, and in terms of classification, it is more like an auxiliary tool. How to say it, if it weren't for Xiao Fei falling on the earth and attaching to Li Huan's body, if she was in her own world, she might not even be able to evolve her second form. Because no matter where Dumbo comes from, he's just an assistant robot after all. Because Xiao Fei fell to the earth, it seems that things are rare and expensive, and the earth's civilization technology also makes Li Huan treat Xiao Fei as a real person. But Li Huan can imagine that an aI robot like Xiaofei is just a tool after all, if he is in his hometown, or in a more high-end place of other civilizations, maybe others will only see it as a tool.
After all, what Xiao Fei introduces himself is the "cultivation system".
Li Huan can imagine that in Xiaofei's production area, this kind of thing should not be so rare, how to say, she is even very ordinary - or just like our robot vacuum. People are willing to spend money to buy it, but they definitely don't invest anything clean. As for accumulating faith points to level her up, that's even more impossible. Although in Xiaofei's hometown, perhaps super-core elements are not uncommon at all, and it is likely that the system energy of Xiaofei's system robot will be 100% when it leaves the factory - but after the system energy is consumed, there will definitely be no one who will collect faith points specifically for her.
And Li Huan regards her as a friend, and will definitely do so.
That's why after Xiao Fei heard Li Huan's words, he flooded the sea of consciousness with waves of joy.
But in fact, to be honest, no matter what Xiao Fei looks like, since Li Huan regards him as a friend, he will not be stingy with his own things, and there is another idea in Li Huan's heart, that is, where does Xiao Fei come from-this question has been bothering Li Huan for a long time, like Xiao Fei, an advanced love robot, he must be from another civilization, but where is this civilization? How far away is he from himself? Are those aliens green-skinned...... This series of problems has been bothering Li Huan for a long time. However, Li Huan kept these questions in his heart and didn't say it.
Li Huan still remembers that he once communicated with Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei said that if he evolves again, he can return to the original world - then Li Huan wants to go and see it, not to mention the rest, Li Huan will also evolve Xiao Fei's third form based on this alone.
Aliens, aliens!
What a temptation!
Since mankind discovered that the earth is not the only planet in the universe, the search for aliens has become the dream of the entire human race.
Over the past hundred years, mankind's enthusiasm for aliens has never diminished, although many scientists have warned mankind over the years not to try to actively contact aliens, but it seems that mankind's expectations for aliens have not been dispelled, why do we want to see aliens so much? When human beings realize the vastness of the universe, they feel the loneliness that human beings have as the only intelligent life known. Think of what a terrible thing it would be if there were only us in this boundless universe.
With the beginning of the industrial revolution 300 years ago, human civilization has entered an era of scientific and technological development. The rapid development of science and technology has made people's living standards higher and higher, and it has also allowed human beings to realize their dream of flying to the sky and start exploring the universe beyond the earth. Although some people insist that there is only one intelligent civilization in the universe, human beings, most people still believe that there are extraterrestrial life and civilizations in the universe.
When human beings walked out of the earth to see the vast universe, scientists launched the alien exploration program, more than 40 years ago launched Voyager 1 and 2 in order to achieve this wish, with human information and the coordinates of the earth to fly to the outer solar system, now they have broken through the top of the heliosphere, into interstellar space, is the farthest spacecraft.
Although the Voyager has entered interstellar space, they still have not discovered any extraterrestrial life or extraterrestrial civilizations. In recent years, all parts of the world have been increasing investment in this area, and China has spent more than 20 years building the world's most powerful radio telescope - China Sky Eye. Its main mission is actually to find and explore extraterrestrial civilizations.
As for why humans are so keen to explore aliens......
It's like you're the only one on the planet, and this loneliness can quickly break down.
Therefore, earthlings need a neighbor from the universe, and we also hope that this neighbor can bring us something that we don't know.
In addition, humans are keen to look for aliens because from a probabilistic point of view, aliens should exist. So far, there is no conclusive evidence of the existence of other intelligent life in the universe, but most people still believe in the existence of extraterrestrials, and this information comes from probability. The universe is so huge that the solar system in which we live alone has more than 100 billion stars like the sun, and galaxies like the Milky Way are countless in the universe.
Although the existence of life on Earth is the result of many coincidences, there are many, many habitable planets like Earth in such a huge universe, and since there is a habitable environment, there is no reason why life should not appear on it, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
Human beings firmly believe in the existence of aliens, so human beings are keen to find aliens, so what do human beings do when they find aliens? Some people always ask "why do people live?" In fact, as an intelligent life, everything human beings do comes from two purposes, that is, to understand where human beings come from and where they are going. Humanity already has the answer to the question of "where did it come from". Of course, if you're an evolutionary opponent, that's still a problem for you.
Of these two issues, the most important is the latter. Where is humanity going?
Inheritance from generation to generation, continuous evolution, all in order to enable human beings to rise to a higher level of civilization, to be able to go to more distant regions of the universe, and to understand the true meaning of the existence of intelligent life.
However, all this is still too far away from mankind, because rushing out of the solar system is not possible with the current level of human science. While humans believe that this day will always come, humans can also be aware of its length. However, if humans are able to come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, then the development process of human civilization may be greatly shortened. You must know that a higher civilization will often quickly lead to the progress of civilization in backward areas.
The human universe has existed for about 13.8 billion years, which is a long time, and it would not be surprising to say that there is intelligent life in the universe that is hundreds of millions of years earlier than the birth of human beings, or even billions of years.
And if they can help humanity, the progress of human civilization will achieve a qualitative leap, and humanity will understand where humanity is going earlier. Of course, human beings cannot remain indifferent to the warnings of scientists, and there is indeed a certain risk of coming into contact with extraterrestrial life that is significantly higher than that of human beings, but will human beings stop looking for extraterrestrial life because of this? It is impossible, because human enthusiasm for extraterrestrial life will not wane. Perhaps human worries are unnecessary, after all, reality is not science fiction, and the universe is not a dark forest.
Although humanity has never found biological evidence in another world, neither in the past nor in the present, the possibility is tempting. There are sedimentary rocks on Mars, formed by past water environments, and when humans investigate, will humans be able to find fossil records there? Europa and Enceladus have entire oceans under the ice that need to be investigated, will there be microbes or something better in their waters? It has even been suggested that the diatoms found in meteorite fragments are a primitive life form that may have originated from extraterrestrial rather than Earth......
Of course, if you want to talk about complete aliens, in fact, Li Huan has also found that he has opened a spatial passage and gone to another world, and it stands to reason that there should also be aliens. But there is a difference between this alien and the alien who explores the human will, because Li Huan doesn't even know the world he explores
On what level, exactly. And Xiaofei is real, it crossed an unknown number of light years to the earth, if Xiaofei's hometown really exists, then the biggest doubt in human history, whether we are alone or not, there is an explanation.
So no matter what the reason, Li Huan wants to help Xiaofei find his hometown. And to help Xiaofei upgrade to the next form, it is possible to see what Xiaofei's hometown is like, so no matter what level it looks at, Li Huan will help Xiaofei upgrade to the third form, but this is a bit unexpected by Xiaofei.
"But let's not talk about this now, the most important thing for you now is to help me fix the flight parameters, and see if there is a plane coming in front of me, I feel like a tanker. You felt that when Xiao Fei was thinking about this problem, the picture on the virtual screen was disordered, and he hurriedly reminded him that the most important thing now is to let this plane arrive at the forced landing site safely - otherwise you won't even be able to get off the plane, and you will explore the space of yarn!
"Ah......" Xiao Fei seemed to come back to his senses, and immediately projected the plane Li Huan saw on the virtual screen, and marked Zhu Yuan, and then said: "Yes, it's a tanker." ”
When Li Huan and his plane only had 6% of the fuel left, a gray behemoth appeared in the clouds in the distance, its volume was very large, and the two fighters that guided Li Huan and their passenger plane in front were like two sparrows next to the eagle. When this plane appeared, the two fighters consciously lowered their altitude, but although they descended in altitude, they still meticulously followed Li Huan's passenger plane to fly together.
"Yun 20, that's Yun 20! Such a big ......" Li Huan looked at the behemoth that slowed down and approached him in front of him, and was shocked by its figure for a while.
Y-20, China's code name Kunpeng, is a new generation of military large transport aircraft researched and manufactured by China, which made its first successful flight on January 26, 2013. As a large multi-purpose transport aircraft, the aircraft can perform long-distance air transportation tasks of various materials and personnel under complex meteorological conditions. Compared with the Il-76 in service in China's Air Force, the Y-20's engine and electronic equipment have been greatly improved, the load capacity has also been increased, and the short runway take-off and landing performance is excellent.
Since the unveiling of the Y-20, it has attracted the attention of military fans, because its birth has officially allowed China to officially enter the era of strategic air force. As a large-scale multi-purpose transport aircraft independently developed by China, the Y-20 has a maximum take-off weight of 220 tons, a load of more than 66 tons, and a range of more than 8,000 kilometers.
This is a Y-20 aerial refueling platform!
China already has the Y-20 transport aircraft and the J-20 fifth-generation fighter, and the J-20, which is a fifth-generation aircraft, has a combat radius of 2000 kilometers. However, China has a vast territory, with 960 square kilometers of land and 470 square kilometers of territorial waters, of which the land is about 5,500 kilometers long from north to south and about 5,200 kilometers from east to west. In the face of such a large distance, the combat radius of 2,000 kilometers of the J-20 is far from enough, and at this time it is necessary to have an air tanker capable of supporting the J-20 to support.
What makes people helpless is that before the emergence of the Y-20, China's current domestic tanker in service only has the H-6 platform modified H-6, with a maximum fuel load of 37 tons, but only 18 tons of fuel that can be used by other fighters, which is far from enough. Moreover, due to the special RDC-1 air refueling equipment equipped with the H-6, only the J-10 and J-8 can be used in China. And the Su-30, Su-35 and other fighters cannot use the bombardment 6 for in-flight refueling.
Until recent years, China purchased three Il-78 tankers, which finally solved part of the Su-30 refueling problem. However, the development of China's air force in recent years has been getting faster and faster, including a huge number of J-7 fighters, as well as more than 100 J-16 fighters that have been in service, which can only be a drop in the bucket. Since the number of Il-78 is only three, it is impossible to disassemble and study it, so it is difficult for China's tanker to make progress.
Recently, the first flight of the "Yunyou-20" tanker converted from the Y-20 large transport aircraft has been successful, filling this gap. Based on existing data analysis. At present, the maximum oil load of the oil 20 has reached more than 90 tons, while the oil load of the Il-78 is 80 tons. There is also the current Yun-20 engine problem, resulting in its performance is insufficient, but in the future after the replacement of more advanced domestic engines, the carrying capacity of the Yun-20 will be greatly enhanced, and the fuel capacity of the modified Yun-20 will likely exceed 100 tons.
The emergence of the Y-20 allows China's air force combat units to complete patrol and reconnaissance tasks more efficiently, and can ensure long-range strategic deployment in wartime.
This behemoth is really a behemoth...... Li Huan looked at the "Kunpeng" who slowly slowed down and approached him, and sighed in his mouth: "This is my country's most advanced air tanker." To be honest, I never expected to see such a majestic plane in my life...... Our country is getting stronger and stronger, and I have made such a big thing, I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I don't believe that such a big thing is flying in the sky. ”
"Li Huan, our tanker said it had found you. Li Huan was sighing, and Old Man Chen's voice also came from his headset: "Don't let us down, I will believe you if you say you can handle it, don't embarrass me, otherwise I will beat you when I come back." ”
"Don't worry, old man, when have I ever embarrassed you in serious matters, don't worry, I can do it if I can do it. Li Huan said affirmatively: "Okay, I won't tell you first, I want to take it seriously." If this refueling is successful, then I will have enough fuel to fly to our designated landing location, so that everyone will be safe. ”
"Well, I wish you success. Old Man Chen didn't say much: "We can see you, I hope you succeed once." ”
Because the tanker was slowly approaching Li Huan's passenger plane, the camera of the tanker was already able to capture the situation of the plane, so all the people in the terminal command building could see Li Huan's passenger plane. The huge Yun 20 slowly reduced its speed, slowly approaching step by step from the front, like their technology, at this time, the oil 20 has released an oil pipeline about 30 meters long behind the oil 20, and is preparing to wait for Li Huan to fly the plane to access - air refueling is like this, only after the refueling pipeline is correctly put into the oil pipeline, the oil pump of the fuel dispenser will start working.
"What do you think he has a success rate?" the Air Force staff officer still couldn't help but ask.
"Don't speak!" Monk Chen was displeased: "They are already close!"
As a matter of fact, there are many things in the air force staff officers that they want to complain about, and it is precisely because they are close to me that they will not speak! The air force staff officer is a professional aviation officer, and he is very aware of the danger of refueling an airplane, especially when refueling a large passenger plane, it is even more dangerous. Not only can it be 10 times more difficult than a fighter jet, but it is also 10 times more dangerous.
Why?
The fuel storage of civil airliners is generally in the wings, and the wings are the fuel tanks of civil airliners. The fuel tank of the fighter is always in the belly of the aircraft, and its refueling pipe extends from the nose of the aircraft - and because the fuel tank of a civil airliner is in the wing, its refueling pipe must also be on the wing, which causes a more difficult refueling docking.
Like a military fighter, its refueling pipeline is all on the nose of the aircraft, which means that the pilot only needs to stabilize the entire aircraft, slowly approach the oil pipeline, and then connect the oil pipeline to the oil pipeline. This allows the tanker to turn on the fuel pump and then refuel the aircraft. The difficulty of civil airliners is even higher because its fuel tank is above the wing - when flying, the wing is the point where the entire lift is generated, so if it encounters a little airflow, the wing will shake significantly. Of course, this kind of jitter is allowed by design and will not affect the aircraft, but this kind of jitter makes it exponentially more difficult to dock the refueling pipeline.
Not to mention that the plane is being manually controlled, even if there is an electronic control still working, it is very difficult to dock - because the induction devices distributed around the plane will automatically calculate the airflow to adjust the swing of the aircraft to try to dock, the reason why the air force staff officer thinks this is an impossible thing, that is because the electronic systems of this passenger plane have all been struck, and the sensors outside the plane have failed, how can it be possible to derive the calculation parameters? If there are no calculation parameters, it is impossible to control the swing of the wings.
But he didn't dare to say this, he said it now, and Monk Chen could spray his face.
Moreover, the Air Force staff was watching as the oil pipeline carrying the 20 slowly approached the wing. When everyone was worried that there was a problem with the docking of the fuel pipeline of the passenger plane and the oil 20, to everyone's surprise, Li Huan drove the plane unusually smoothly, and used the fuel pipeline stretched out from the wings to connect the fuel pipeline released by the tanker plane.
It's a matter of moments!
