Shen Zhiyi never expected that the place he reported would be in the capital - the Hypersonic Vehicle Research Institute!

Isn't this place supposed to be for the study of hypersonic vehicles, what to do with summoning these astronauts there?

Could it be that this unit is just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but in essence, it is engaged in some secret equipment, such as those UFOs that have always been mysterious, all of which were created by this kind of organization?

With complex emotions such as unwillingness, loss, doubt, and expectation, Shen Zhiyi, who took the letter of introduction, found the office of the person in charge of the institute.

It's just that what he never expected was that after knocking on the door, he actually met the legendary Professor Liu Feng and Liu here, and it seemed that this person seemed to have been presiding over the work here for a long time, and even the director here was obedient to him, combined with the rumors that Liu Feng was working on a space engine in the outside world, Shen Zhiyi's mind suddenly became active.

Could it be that they are really engaged in some kind of UFO?

"You are the astronaut Comrade Shen Zhiyi, please come in. ”

Just when Shen Zhiyi knocked on the door and came in, Liu Feng, who was holding a document in his hand and discussing with Yang Xijia, also looked at him and asked.

"Yes, here's my letter of introduction. ”

As he spoke, Shen Zhiyi handed the document in his hand to Liu Feng's desk.

[Shen Zhiyi, male, age 28, Shenzhou spacecraft reserve astronaut, has piloted and tested J-8, J-10, H-6, J-20 and other main models, air JUN special pilot, is a battalion position, lieutenant colonel JUN title, Jiangsu Guanyun native ......]

Looking at the file in his hand, Liu Feng expressed great satisfaction with the aerospace hero assigned to him by Academician Zhou Jianping.

At the age of 28, he is already a national special pilot and lieutenant colonel JUN, and it can be said that he is definitely the most outstanding among his peers, and even the same kind of people who are much older than him are not as good as him.

You must know that if you want to become a national special-grade pilot, you must have at least 1480 hours of flight time, and have the ability to fly in multiple meteorological conditions and multiple models, and pilots with this experience are generally 35 years old or older in the army.

This Lieutenant Colonel Shen is indeed a talent.

nodded: "Lieutenant Colonel Shen, you are welcome to join our institute, I won't say anything superfluous." For your mission, I don't know if the astronaut training center has told you?"

"Report chief," Shen Zhiyi replied very shamefully, "Director Yang Weili said that this is top secret, and only when I come to your side, I am qualified to know." ”

Although he knew that the secrecy procedures of the troops were quite strict, Liu Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

But I also admired it in my heart.

I don't even know what the specific task is, and if I obey the order, I don't want to put my good future and come to this place where the "future is bright", this is the army, this is the sacrifice!

I don't know why, Liu Feng felt a little distressed, and felt sorry for these people who had the courage to sacrifice.

"You don't even know what the mission is, and you give up your great future as a space hero, and come to a place where there is no hope and maybe even danger? What made you make such a choice?"

Shen Zhiyi replied briefly: "Because I am a JUN person!"

From that determined demeanor, Liu Feng saw something.

nodded, put his gaze back on the file, and said seriously:

"In that case, Lieutenant Colonel, please accept your mission!"

"Always be ready!"

"Good. Although I can't guarantee that you will pass our screening in the end, I can guarantee that your mission will be more interesting than boarding the Shenzhou spacecraft! Because what you will be flying is the first dual-purpose aircraft in China, according to the words of the people of M, it is an aerospace aircraft, but we prefer to call it a spaceship! That's right, unlike the Shenzhou series, this is a new type of aircraft that can open the era of the national universe!"

"The future is in our hands...... You must know the meaning of this. I guarantee that many people will envy you, and your relatives, your comrades-in-arms, and even the whole country and the whole world will regard you as heroes!"

To be honest, if it weren't for the young lady's resolute opposition, plus time would not allow, Liu Feng himself would still want to be the first flight test pilot, with his physical fitness, coupled with the ability to control the microscopic century, there is no way to let him have some accidents.

But no matter what, there will always be a day when he will board a spaceship and travel in space in the future, so there is no need to grab this first time with others.

"In the next six months, your task is to familiarize yourself with this new spacecraft, including how to operate, how to troubleshoot and repair, how to carry out space missions, and how to rescue yourself, etc.; the task is very heavy, there are many places to learn, and, most importantly, you have to shoulder the task of training 15 pilots into professional astronauts in a short period of time, and select at least 5 qualified astronauts from them to further receive our spacecraft skills training, as a preparatory test pilot for the first flight of the spacecraft prototype. Are you confident you can finish it?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Hearing Liu Feng's assignment to him, Shen Zhiyi was already excited, and his whole person seemed to be like a battery that had been discharged and recharged, full of energy.

Space shuttle?

Spacecraft?

I know that Professor Liu is holding back his big moves, and he really didn't disappoint Lao Tzu!

……

Next, not only Shen Zhiyi, but also the Air Force JUN Equipment Department also had pilots in place one after another.

So, Liu Feng packed and arranged for these people to be in charge of Shen Zhiyi and Yang Xijia.

Although half a year is indeed a bit tight, these people are all selected elites from the air JUN pilots, whether it is mental or physical fitness, they have a certain foundation, compared to the training of ordinary people, I want to be able to get started soon.

It's just that compared with traditional airplanes and high-thrust manned rockets, the new spacecraft has relatively lower requirements for the physical fitness of its members, and the acceleration in the atmosphere will not exceed 2.5 times the G value.

After all, the purpose of developing this kind of spacecraft is mainly to open the era of national astronautics, and the threshold is too high, if ordinary people can't bear it, it will naturally not be popularized.

Therefore, the training of these people will focus more on theoretical knowledge and the control of the spacecraft, and as for physical fitness, as long as they do not fall too far behind, they can basically meet the minimum requirements.

But having said that, after all, they are the first pilots of the prototype, and Liu Feng will only demand them according to higher standards to ensure that the prototype test flight is foolproof.

……

After the training of test pilots was implemented, Liu Feng originally wanted to discuss with the aerospace group about expanding the scale of astronaut training, however, at the suggestion of Academician Zhou Jianping, he finally dispelled this idea.

The food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and at a time when the spacecraft has not yet been built, it is still not very convincing for the country to spend a huge amount of money on astronaut training.

Even if the high-level management does support Liu Feng quite a lot, they can't always exclude public opinion and ignore other people's ideas, right?

This is the case every time, which is not only difficult for the top management, but also not a good thing for Liu Feng himself.

Therefore, Academician Zhou's suggestion to Liu Feng is that it is not too late to mention this matter after the successful test flight of the spacecraft, because with such persuasiveness, everything can be logical.

……

Time passed day by day, and everything was in full swing.

Soon, it was time to make an appointment with the Wind Tunnel Laboratory of Beijing Jiaotong University to do experiments.

On this day, under the arrangement of the staff, a trailer slowly drove into the campus of Jiaotong University, and under the curious eyes of the teachers and students of the school, several cars covered in cloth and unable to see the specific situation were slowly loaded and unloaded.

It is generally forbidden for such a big car to enter the school, and in this case, it seems that it is going to do something big!

The people around gathered around to see what was going on.

Although they are covered with skin, they can still see the general body structure, flat body, streamlined silhouette, exaggerated rear wing...... There is no doubt that this is definitely not an ordinary sedan, but a sports car!

Seeing all this, the students passing by stopped to watch and discussed.

"Damn, what is this going to do? Do wind tunnel experiments on cars?"

"Needless to say? It's just that the wind tunnel laboratory of our Jiaotong University is usually used for testing aircraft and large-scale civil engineering, which automobile factory has such a large amount of energy?"

"Not only is it energy-rich, but it's also willing to spend money!"

"That's right, I heard that this experiment was originally for a certain unit to do a drone test, but I didn't expect that the queue was squeezed out, who had such a big face. ”

"Needless to say, there should be no one who can handle our Jiaotong University and even those military industrial enterprises behind it, except for a few large enterprises directly under the central government such as FAW and SAIC, right?

"Domestic car companies?

In the crowd, hearing the analysis of those people, many people sneered a few times.

Because according to the information released by the authoritative think tank "Huaguo Automobile Thirty People", from 2008 ~ 2013, among the 25 mainstream automobile groups in Huaguo, R&D investment accounted for the proportion of operating income, from high to low, followed by Haima, Jiangling, Lifan, Bidia, Foton, Changan, Yutong, GAC, JAC, Weichai, Zhongtong, Xiaokang, Valin Xingma, Jinlong, North Heavy Duty Truck, Dongfeng, Great Wall, Zotye, Yaxing, Ankai, FAW, SAIC, Shuguang, Huaguo Heavy Duty Truck, Jili and Jinbei.

That's right, FAW, SAIC and other central enterprises with the highest revenue and the largest profits are at the bottom of the domestic automobile group's R&D and revenue proportion!

Even domestic manufacturers can't compare, let alone compare with foreign car manufacturers that focus on research and development!

It's all a group of Adou who can't be helped......

"It will definitely not be those central enterprises! Those who can make money lying down will definitely not do R&D thanklessly. ”

"That's right, those companies will also develop a car shell, at most how to do advertising, how to get policies from the state, how to make more money from consumers, wind tunnel testing such tall things, well, what is it, can you eat it?"

"Instead of believing that they are sexually converted, it is better to believe that sows can go up trees!"

……

A group of people were talking and complaining about those few families.

In the final analysis, it is still those central enterprises that are not competitive and have repeatedly disappointed the people.

It's just that this time, which car company has changed sex?

"Don't you find out that these sample cars are sports cars? You know, how many domestic car manufacturers can spend a lot of money on sports cars?"

"That's right, I've probably guessed whose house it is!"

"Me too!"

"In addition to the newly established Fengyue Automobile Company, who else in China is researching sports cars?"

"That's right, it must be Liu Feng's Kirin supercar!"

"Nest, Kirin supercar, I heard that the Kirin generation caused a sensation all over the world when it was born, and in the supercar circle, it overshadowed Koenigsegg! It's a pity that there are only 10 cars in the world, and many rich people can't get one for them, and even some people have driven the price to 300 million, or nothing!"

"300 million?! I just sold Lao Tzu's 180 pounds, and I'm afraid I can't even afford a reflector, right?"

"Well, if only we could have one!"

"Hundreds of millions of things, you can only think about it in your dreams, the world of rich people really doesn't understand ......"

The onlookers continued to discuss.

It's just that these people reasoned casually, and guessed the owners of these sample cars.

After a while, the news that Professor Liu was doing wind tunnel tests on his newly developed sports car spread like the wind, so that more and more students came to see the excitement "from thousands of miles".

Among these people, some simply want to take the opportunity to see the true face of Liu Feng, and some are purely interested in sports cars.

There are even many students who have reached the point of obsession with sports cars, and they have tried their best to change their ways to make friends with the buddies in the wind tunnel laboratory, as for the reason, it is nothing more than wanting to blend into the laboratory and have a close contact with sports cars.

The results were naturally disappointing.

Professor Liu, who came to do the experiment, had already quietly come to the laboratory in advance, and as for these prototypes, they were even more commercial secrets, and the two sides of the experiment had already signed a confidentiality agreement, so it was naturally impossible to be leaked out so easily.

It was noisy outside, and inside the laboratory, it was also in full swing.

There were already staff in place in advance, checking the inspection instruments of the instruments, and preparing the preparation facilities of the experimental facilities, and everyone was like hard-working ants, busy under the organization of the person in charge of the laboratory.

At around 9:30 a.m., after two hours of busyness, all the preparations were completed.

"Professor Liu, all units are in place, do you want to do it yourself or ......?"

In the laboratory, Professor Gan Jinglong, the person in charge, came to Liu Feng's side and asked uneasily.

An hour of time, yes, this Professor Liu has only been exposed to wind tunnel experiments for more than an hour, and he wants to do the experiment himself, can he not make mistakes?

"I'd better do it myself!" Liu Feng waved his hand and said unceremoniously.

Although the wind tunnel experiment seems extremely complicated, most of the operations are to lay out some sensors or something, and the on-site staff can be commanded to operate, as for adjusting the wind speed or something, it is basically automated, as long as you follow the steps, how can it go wrong?

Of course, ordinary people dare not guarantee it, but he himself has such self-confidence.

"Well, that's not good......"

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents!"

Seeing Liu Feng's insistence, the person in charge hesitated, but finally nodded.

He is not worried about the safety of experimental equipment and personnel, but he is worried that once the experiment goes wrong, everything will have to be restarted, not to mention the waste of time, and the money invested will be wasted.

However, since people don't care about this, why do you worry about it?

Anyway, this person can do the thing of using the wind tunnel of the test aircraft to experiment with the car, such an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, such a big tyrant, is still short of money?
