Ping Lao's words made Li Ming very excited, in fact, what he cared about was not the plane, but the person in Ping Lao's mouth.

"What's that guy's name, and what does he look like?"

Ping Lao shook his head: "I don't know, it's not important, we are engaged in technology, and we are not responsible for intelligence, I met this person, nothing special, it looks like an ordinary soldier, about thirty years old, medium stature, nothing worth describing." ”

"Did you have a conversation?" asked Li Ming.

"I didn't have a chance to have a conversation, but I thought this person was not simple. Ping Lao recalled that year, after all, forty years, the memory is a little vague, "That thing is very strange, metal, it should be titanium alloy, the surface craftsmanship is very exquisite, no, it can be called exquisite, no, it is simply a work of art, no rivets, all welding, but even the weld can not be seen, it is definitely not the stupid black and coarse process of the Soviet Union, the kind of surface treatment technology, only the United States can achieve, this person is likely to be a spy of the US imperialism, airdropped." ”

"What is it, how big is it, what does it look like?"

"It's about the size of an auxiliary fuel tank. Ping Lao said the size of the auxiliary fuel tank, but he stretched out his hand and gestured only one meter long, "Such an old man, we can't open it, we can't find the switch, and we can't pry it with tools, because he has no gaps, with an acetylene cutting machine, cut for a long time without moving, this thing is resistant to high temperatures, but the quality is very light, one person can lift it, oh the technology of the United States Empire, I tell you, in terms of materials and technology, and we are not ten or twenty years apart." ”

"This man...... Although I don't know my real name and surname, there is always a code name, right?" Li Ming did not give up.

"Oh, because this spy was parachuted, so the relevant parties gave him the code name Tianlai, which means visitors from outside the sky. ”

Liu Kunlun's heart was shocked, the sky is coming, isn't the barefoot doctor in Delingha just calling Wang Tianlai! The person related to his life experience turned out to be a visitor from outside the world!

"There are a lot of people who call the heavens, maybe it's the same name. Li Ming said in a low voice.

Ping Lao is over eighty years old, and he doesn't remember the old things forty years ago very clearly, and he did not participate in the No. 4 mission, and the secrecy work of that year was very good, even if a unit was not in the same project team, they had to keep it secret from each other, so he didn't know anything about the Jian-6 equipped with a lift fan, but Ping Lao's imagination was very rich and very reasonable.

"According to my analysis, this day, he is a Chinese, under my political and psychological offensive, he is willing to cooperate with our army to develop new weapons, this strange machine is the prototype of imitation, our military pressure was very high, and it was not easy to get a high-tech thing, which was developed with great effort, and many weapons in our country were developed by picking up American goods, such as this Sidewinder*, and this high-level *, the world can* countries do not have more than one hand, we originally used Soviet technology, and one year the fishermen caught the heavy * of the Americans in the sea, so they used it for reverse mapping...... Far away, and said that this No. 4 mission, I analyzed that we really built a vertical take-off and landing fighter, but there is only one, it can't be formed into combat effectiveness, just like that Yun Ten, in 1971, Pakistan had a Boeing 707 crashed in Xinjiang, let's take the wreckage to reverse mapping, the engine is also someone else's, so you can only build such a one, more can not be built, the Internet is so mysterious, it is a pity to say that it is a pity, it is ridiculous, the hand-knocked out of the aircraft shell is installed with the dismantled engine, he dares to fly, do you dare to sit。 ”

Ping Lao sighed, lit another cigarette, and continued: "So, this vertical take-off and landing of the Jian-6 is not a bargaining chip on the card table of the Sino-Soviet confrontation, coupled with the turmoil in the country, the air force is also in chaos, I speculate that the plane is sealed, the person is imprisoned forever, all the files are sealed, and they will never be declassified. ”

"Retest, why not find a new aircraft, such as the J-11? or the fifth-generation aircraft under development, and the design of the fighter and lift fan is too simple and crude. Li Ming expressed serious incomprehension of this.

Ping Lao laughed: "Then you have to ask the responsible leader, around 1980, our country newly developed a kind of automatic pistol used by grassroots combatants, called the 80-type pistol, that thing is a poor imitation of the shell gun, what year is the shell gun, 1896! We are still imitating the products of the 19th century after a hundred years, and the shell gun does not use pins up and down the whole gun, how many pins are there in the 80-type? The tactical performance is not up to the prototype, and it is not the result of the leader's pat on the head, the leader has used a barge gun during the war, so he has to imitate it, and the leader thinks that the 38 big cover is good, so he imitates an outdated 63-type automatic rifle, there are many such cases, and the leader is not sure to have this and this plot of the Annihilation Six?"

Li Ming was speechless, and also figured out the hole cards of the old man, the old man had left his job for many years, and there was no inside information, on the contrary, he still wanted to get some information from here.

The re-opening test is not the answer Li Ming wants, but it is the most reasonable explanation, if this is the case, if he inquires again, he will be suspected of being a spy, and besides, what he cares about is not the plane, but the person named Tianlai, and it is estimated that he will not get help from Ping Lao.

Suddenly, Liu Kunlun asked: "How many J-6 aircraft have been produced, and the whereabouts of each aircraft should be recorded, right?"

Ping Lao said: " Young man, you are trying to find a needle in a haystack, J-6 began to be imitated in 1958, began production in 1960, equipped the troops in 1964, and discontinued in 1983, a total of 5,205 were produced, and they were withdrawn from the army in 06 years, and they have not been completely decommissioned, some of these more than 5,000 have been scrapped and some have been exported, some have been converted into combat drones and target aircraft, and some continue to be stored as surplus combat effectiveness, you want to find out the whereabouts of each one, it is theoretically valid, but you need to deal with countless people and countless units, all kinds of red tape, you can't do this for ten years, and then those exported to Egypt, Pakistan, Cambodia, how do you check the planes? ”

Liu Kunlun was silent, embarrassed by his naivety.

Ping Lao stayed for dinner at night, eating dumplings wrapped with leeks grown in his own backyard, Ping Lao had worked in Shen Fei, Hubei people developed the habit of eating dumplings in the Northeast, although they were senior intellectuals, but they had the tradition of the old revolution, they like to grow vegetables to feed chickens, and dumplings filled with leeks and eggs, except for flour and vinegar are bought, the others are self-reliant.

The dumplings are wrapped together with a small bag when the old man is idle, frozen in the refrigerator, and the guests will take it out to eat, four people eat, cook 200 dumplings, with balsamic vinegar sesame oil dish, peel a few heads of garlic, and then come to a bottle of two pots, all live.

The steaming dumplings are out of the pot, Liu Kunlun grinned at this meal, the leeks want to eat spring leeks, the leeks in midsummer are very dry, and there is a kind of dumpling filling, even the meat is not added, it is shabby and unpalatable.

"It's good for young people to eat more leeks, leeks are commonly known as aphrodisiacs, and it is useful to eat too much. "Ping Lao is disrespectful to the old, squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes.

Li Ming said: "What Ping Lao said is that young people should eat more small packets, and I don't need them at my age." As he spoke, he pushed a large pot of dumplings in front of him to Xiaobao.

Xiao Bao blushed and said, "I'm not married yet." He pushed the dumplings to Ping Lao again.

Liu Kunlun said: "I'm not married, and eating this aphrodisiac grass is a terrible thing." "I also pushed my own plate to Ping Lao.

There were three large plates of dumplings in front of Ping Lao, and the old man said regretfully: "Actually, I wrapped a coin in the dumplings, and I originally planned to tell him a big secret if anyone ate it, but since you don't eat it, forget it."

The two immediately brought their dumplings back and devoured them.

Until he finished eating the last dumpling, he didn't eat any coins, so Ping Lao pushed his plate over: "Maybe here, eat again." ”

Li Ming's combat effectiveness is no longer good, and Liu Kunlun has a big appetite, so he just ate this half plate of more than 20 dumplings, but there are still no coins.

"Oops, I probably forgot to wrap it in. Ping Lao did a sudden realization.

Liu Kunlun's stomach was round, and he resisted the urge to beat this old guy, and he had to say that the dumplings were really fragrant against his will.

Ping Lao smiled like an eighty-year-old child, and Xiaobao also lowered his head and snickered, obviously this trick had been played more than once.

"I didn't get a coin, but I can tell you about it. Ping Lao began to reminisce again, "It's still 1969, this time let's not talk about those wild histories, let's talk about what happened in the northwest border." ”

Liu Kunlun said in his heart that you know that it is a wild history, but you listen to it.

"On August 13, '69, the Soviets used mechanized troops to attack us in the Tieletik area of Tacheng, Xinjiang, and our army lost 38 people. ”

The two nodded like pounded garlic.

"On 10 August, the Urumqi Satellite Observatory in Xinjiang discovered an unusual astronomical phenomenon, which is well documented. "Something came down from the sky and landed in the Tiletik region, and in late July 1969, the last month after the incident, do you know what happened?"

Both shook their heads.

Mr. Ping said angrily: "One of the most important events in human history, you can not know, science popularization has a long way to go, on July 20, 69, mankind successfully landed on the moon, 20 days later, a meteorite fell from the sky in Xinjiang, an armed conflict broke out in Tieletik, China launched a vertical take-off and landing fighter project, boldly launched the lift fan program, and the sudden appearance of that day, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Liu Kunlun asked: "Elder Ping, has this top-secret file been declassified?"

Ping Lao said: "This is all public information, but no one that they are combined together to see it, I am old, this mystery has troubled me all my life, I have little time, I am afraid that I can't solve it, if you solve it, remember to tell me, if you can't catch up, burn it to me in Babao Mountain, and the family sacrifice will not forget to tell Na Weng." ”
