"I haven't slept all night, why don't you rest for a while?" Xie Kai looked at Qi Zhiyuan on the side, the old guy's eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't go back to rest.

His father and Zheng Yucheng are the same, they are each busy with their own affairs.

"Now that the carrier-based aircraft has eyebrows, the carrier-based pilot training of the aircraft carrier can be launched, right?" Qi Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Where can I sleep here!

"Throwing money into the little devil is for the aircraft carrier plan, right?" Xie Kai asked.

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head, "It started a year ago. At that time, I don't know what your kid asked Kaisheng to keep the yen for, from September to December last year, the dollar against the yen went from 250 to 200, and the money in your kid's hand increased by 20% out of thin air, at that time, Yang Qian was thinking about it...... Our country lacks foreign exchange for US dollars, but there is no shortage of Japanese yen...... Since then, Song Yanjin has invested 100 million over there......"

Xie Kai didn't expect that these old guys were more shrewd than the other.

"Actually, you should be able to understand it. Several arms sales in the entire base are all orders brought in by you, and we are under a lot of pressure. Although Qi Zhiyuan said it with a smile, Xie Kai heard the helplessness in his heart.

This is unlikely to be the case for any unit.

When Xie Kai was asked to be this consultant, there was no way at all, a dead horse to be a live horse doctor.

I never thought that Xie Kai was like a wild horse that had escaped, riding in the dust, and in just over two years, he would bring tens of billions of funds to 404.

Such a blow is conceivable for Zheng Yucheng and other older generations.

Xie Kai can understand.

"Boom ......"

A series of slight roars came from the southwest sky, causing Xie Kai to retract his thoughts.

"Here ......

"Here we are, our new fighter is back!"

At this moment, someone cheered from the crowd that had been waiting next to him.

Xie Kai looked in the direction where the roar in the sky came from, and he couldn't see anything.

Fortunately, the weather is sunny today, there is no thick fog outside covering Qilian Mountain, the sky is clear, and even if the sky is just dawning, the visibility is very high.

Soon, three small black dots appeared in the sky, gradually magnifying.

"The pilots are all Persians?" Xie Kai asked Qi Zhiyuan beside him.

"No, there is one of our pilots on each of them, didn't we select a group of excellent pilots for the repaired fighter plane at the base before?" Qi Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "They will undertake the test flight of the F-14 that has been repaired and copied by our base in the future." ”

"That's good. Xie Kai nodded, "With the base, 4 fighters can also be used for research and development." ”

The F-14 is a two-seat, two-engine fighter, which was originally a naval carrier-based aircraft model tailored by Grumman for the U.S. Navy, with a short take-off and landing distance.

As the world's first third-generation fighter that opened the prelude to the world's third-generation aircraft, the F-14 is still not lagging behind in terms of technical performance, avionics system, and weapon system at present.

The three F-14s were rapidly enlarged in a zigzag shape, and the roar became louder and louder, and even the people on the ground could already see the two huge missiles hanging under the belly of the aircraft and other types of slender missiles hanging under the wings.

"And missiles?" Xie Kai was even more pleasantly surprised.

"If the F-14 does not have the AIM-54 missile, the ability to strike beyond the visual range will be much weaker. This is also the reason why I was willing to pay so much to get it back. After Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, he pointed to Tu Jida not far away and said to Xie Kai, "Look at Mr. Tu, saliva is dripping." ”

Xie Kai looked at the thin head of Mr. Tu at 45 degrees towards the F-14 in the sky, which was getting bigger and bigger, and his mouth was slightly long.

"He's always been at our base?"

"If it weren't for him, our plane wouldn't have been repaired so easily. In the afternoon, the fighter plane will make a test flight. Qi Zhiyuan nodded and said, "We are going to build a carrier-based aircraft pilot training base next to it......

Xie Kai glanced at him and didn't speak.

Instead, he walked towards Tu Jida and the others.

"This is an F-14? How does it feel bigger than the information we get?" Mr. Tu muttered as he made an umbrella in one hand, put it on his forehead, and kept looking at the three F-14s hovering over the runway.

The F-14 in the sky looks much larger than the domestic fighters.

"This is a heavy fighter with a length of 19.1 meters, and a wingspan of 19.54 meters at a 20° sweep angle, which will definitely be much larger than our domestic fighters. Xie Kai said to Mr. Tu.

He knew that Mr. Tu must know the specific parameters of the F-14.

Mr. Tu turned his head to look at Xie Kai, didn't say anything, and turned his gaze to the first F-14 that had been aimed at the runway and kept lowering its altitude to land on the runway.

Until all three F-14s landed and parked neatly on the tarmac of the runway.

The runway has been built, but the excavation work and factory construction next to it are still ongoing.

At this time, if it weren't for the gun-wielding guards who set up a cordon outside, the people around would have gathered around to see this kind of fighter with a complex appearance and huge size that everyone had never seen before.

The technicians on standby at the airport quickly put the ladder on the plane, and the pilot wearing the flight helmet also quickly got out of the F-14, and the helmet was pulled away by the 212 jeeps waiting next to him.

"Get these three planes into the hangar. Qi Zhiyuan saw that the people around him were eager to pounce and feel if the missiles under the wings and belly were real, and he frowned and ordered.

Xie Kai turned his head to look at the edge of the runway, next to the main runway of the airport, there was an airstrip that was also sprayed with brown and yellow paint, extending towards the mountain next to it.

On the side of the mountain near the airport runway, a row of light steel structure workshops has been established.

This side is close to the tarmac.

For the planning of the entire airport, Xie Kai has not seen it.

He also knows that the airport here cannot be repaired like an ordinary civil aviation airport.

The factory next to it, part of which is in the mountains, has not been built much, and it is more than enough to park three F-14s.

"Where's the F-14, inside the base?" Xie Kai asked Tu Jida.

Mr. Tu didn't care about him at this time, but ran towards the fighter plane in front, regardless of the opposition of the ground staff, insisted on climbing the ladder and entered the cockpit.

The intact F-14 is very different from the F-14 obtained by the base, although the operation panel is the same, the original aircraft is exactly the same as the F-14 in Persia, at least, it is turned on in a complete state, and the situation of each indicator and display screen is different.

The F-14 could not be repaired before the 404, and the large gap between materials and manufacturing processes was one thing, and more importantly, the electronic systems of the avionics system.

In its complete form, the functions of each electronic component are clear at a glance, which is much better than the previous understanding according to the few domestic technical reserves and the few experiences of others.

Tu Jida started the F-14 under his seat with trembling hands and feet, and the inside of the cockpit was very old and had no sense of technology at all.

But that didn't affect him.

"Boom~"

The engine roared slightly, and the engine of the fighter plane, which had been stopped, began to run again.

This is followed by the activation of various electronic instruments and display screens.

Tu Jida didn't do much operation, but just looked at it, took out the pen and small notebook he carried with him, and quickly recorded something.

"Director Qi, this ......" A technician in his forties saw that Tu Jida had restarted the F-14 that had just stopped, and he didn't know how to stop it, but Qi Zhiyuan happened to come over.

"Let's push the other two into the hangar first. Qi Zhiyuan knew that it was impossible for Tu Jida to mess around, so he was waiting for him on the side.

Xie Kai looked at Mr. Tu on the plane and didn't know what he was going to do.

It wasn't until the sun was in the sky that Mr. Tu turned off the engine of the F-14 and came down from it.

Excitedly said to Qi Zhiyuan, "Director Qi, many of our previous understandings were wrong, although it does not affect the flight, whether it is flight performance or maneuverability, it will be seriously restricted. You can't do anything but fly...... I hope to change the plan, cancel this afternoon's test flight, and rebuild the F-14 ...... at the base."

"Is there such a big problem?" Although Qi Zhiyuan believed it, he still hoped to hear it.

Otherwise, the previous restoration work would have been almost in vain.

"Yes, indeed. In particular, the variable sweep wing of the fighter we repaired has always had problems with control, although it does not affect the take-off ......" Tu Jida flipped through a small notebook and introduced the situation to Xie Kai and Qi Zhiyuan.

There is no comparison, not even any technical information, the previous F-14 was completely repaired by relying on the groping and understanding of domestic technicians.

"If it doesn't work, stop. We can't afford to lose. Xie Kai saw that Qi Zhiyuan was unwilling, so he hurriedly spoke.

Mr. Tu's words cannot be without basis.

In the unlikely event that this repaired F-14 has problems during test flights, neither the pilot nor the fighter plane can afford to lose the entire 404.

"Isn't there still nine complete F-14s that need to be repaired?" Qi Zhiyuan said, "Only test flights can find the problem." ”

"Director Qi, let's do maintenance, not make fighters. Mr. Tu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, "If there is a problem with this plane, the follow-up improvement will not be so easy." It will greatly discourage everyone's enthusiasm. ”

"What about the technical information provided by the Persians, should have arrived?" Xie Kai asked with a frown.

It stands to reason that technical information should be provided in advance.

"No, come with those scrapped fighters. Qi Zhiyuan shook his head, "They exchanged three flying and 10 F-14s that they couldn't repair for our 27 J-7s, and we have to wait for our J-7s to be in place, and the rest will be shipped......."

"......" Xie Kai was speechless, the Persians were a little too much this time.

"I can't really test fly. There was a problem with our understanding before, some electronic systems are not what we understand at all, this is still a problem that I found after a preliminary look, the avionics system of the F-14 is too complicated. The wreckage of the prototype we got before basically couldn't be started...... "Mr. Tu is really anxious."
