Chapter 167 Maintenance Manual (First Update)

"it!"

As soon as the picture cut into the hangar scene, Yang Lin was stunned by the huge flying machine in front of him.

It is a large aircraft with a dark black livery and an unusually cool appearance.

The aircraft as a whole has a flying wing layout, with a wingspan of more than 50 meters, and the shape is smooth and round, without "wrinkles".

Its cockpit is rounded, the sealed glass cabin cover is an inclined plane, the rear part of the wing leading edge cladding has irregular honeycomb cavities, the rear half of the wing is two W-shaped, and there is no vertical tail, the engine compartment and landing gear compartment are all buried under the smooth wing, and the air intakes are placed above the wing.

"B-2 Ghost!" Yang Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he has already experienced the flight experience of many domestic fighters in the Chinese air force base, Yang Lin is also the first time to see such a world's top air force weapon and equipment up close.

Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge understands what the B-2 strategic bomber means.

The B-2 was the first stealth strategic bomber in human history and one of the most expensive weapons systems ever built.

It can carry 16 AGM-129 air-launched cruise missiles, or 16 B63 nuclear bombs to attack targets 12,000 kilometers away, and after a refueling in the air, the range extends to 18,000 kilometers.

Just from the U.S. homeland, Whiteman Air Force Base can launch precision strikes against any part of the globe.

The bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in 1999 was the masterpiece of this aircraft.

However, the B-2 is amazingly powerful. But its high cost is enough to scare off most of the world's countries.

Since its entry into service in 1997, the U.S. Air Force has served a total of 21 B-2A Phantom strategic bombers (one crashed in 2008). Grumman paid nearly $50 billion in R&D and manufacturing costs.

Even more detrimental is the staggering maintenance costs of the B-2.

Since the completion of each flight mission. High-velocity airflow causes wear and tear on the surface of the body.

In order to ensure that the stealth performance of the aircraft does not deteriorate, technicians had to refurbish the radar absorbing material on the surface of the B-2A with a method similar to painting, and the newly sprayed absorbing material can only be dried and cured at a certain temperature and humidity.

As a result, the B-2 spent an incredible 132 hours of maintenance per flight hour.

What makes the US Air Force even more speechless is that due to the lack of sufficient spare parts and perfect maintenance equipment, the B-2A has not been able to be deployed at overseas bases, which is for the US military operating with a global deployment. It is also an intolerable shortcoming.

But no matter how unbearable the shortcomings of the B-2A are, it has always been one of the iconic weapons of the US Air Force, and it is also the core weapon of the US triad of strategic nuclear strike forces.

Even fifteen years have passed since this weapon entered service. But in the eyes of the world, it is still shrouded in a mysterious second kill.

Yang Lin walked under the B-2A, and the ground crew in the hangar was maintaining it.

Since Yang Lin chose a non-combat mode, these game NPCs simply turned a blind eye to Yang Lin's arrival.

Yang Lin has seen this situation in China's air bases. Maybe it's because the game is in his brain. Yang Lin has extremely high authority in the game, except for the combat missions issued by the system, he must complete them, the rest of the time he can do whatever he wants in the game, and even order others to do things for him.

"Hey, Captain, wait a minute!"

Yang Lin stopped a U.S. Air Force officer who was walking past him with a pile of parts.

The officer turned around, saluted Yang Lin and said, "Sir, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Lin said: "Do we have a full set of technical information for the B-2A here?" ”

The captain said, "Sir." I'm sorry I don't have access to this information, but perhaps you should go to the headquarters to find the Commander. We only have the Ghost's maintenance manual here. ”

Maintenance manual for the B-2A?

Yang Lin's eyes lit up and said, "Then you can bring it over and show it to me!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the captain came over with a thick sixteen-page hardcover book.

Yang Lin opened it and flipped through it, although this is an all-English document, but Yang Lin doesn't need to read it word by word, he just needs to close his eyes and immerse his mind in this manual, all the words, pictures, and parameters in the manual have been transformed into a special data stream, which is deeply seared into the depths of his brain.

Five minutes later, Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath, which made his slightly excited mood fall silent slightly.

In this "B-2 Maintenance Manual", there are not only the overall fuselage structure design parameters of the B-2A, the geometric configuration of various components, the avionics system (including the J-band electrical scanning phased array radar, the TACAN satellite communication system, the radar warning receiver, and the tactical data link), the power system (F118-GE-110 non-afterburner turbofan engine), etc.

The most important thing is that there is also a high-pressure die-casting process of carbon fiber and graphite composite materials, the ratio and spraying process of stealth coating, and the anti-infrared radiation suppression system.

These are all key technologies for stealth aircraft, which are actually mentioned above.

Although he didn't know the authenticity of these data, Yang Lin had a faint feeling that the credibility of these materials was very high.

Yang Lin quit the game and opened his eyes.

Tonight's discovery made him a little excited, he thought that the matrix system would only help him in the fields of electronics and software products, but he never thought that the matrix system would have such a side.

"Then won't you be able to enter the military market in the future?"

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Lin's heartbeat thumped.

Just as he was still thinking about how to verify the information obtained from the game next, there was a squeak, and the door of Yang Lin's room actually opened silently.

"Who?!"

Yang Lin was just about to get up and turn on the light, when he saw the black shadow close the door, and then trotted all the way over and climbed into bed.

"Yang Lin, it's me!" Lin Qingya said in a low voice.

Yang Lin said in a low voice: "Qingya, why are you here?" ”

Lin Qingya said: "Xiao Ying and Sister Xiao Xin sleep too horribly, a two-meter-five bed, they are almost sleeping sideways, I can't squeeze it at all." ”

"Come on, come in!"

Yang Lin pulled the girl into the quilt, feeling the girl's fiery delicate body, where was there any thought about B-2, and turned over and pressed Lin Qingya under him.

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

Yang Lin smiled in Lin Qingya's ear: "Baby, you came just in time, we can do something interesting." ”

"Don't! People have to get up early tomorrow, and they said that they would take Sister Xiaoxin out to play......"

"Qingya, last time your relatives came, we haven't had that for more than a week!"

"Don't ...... Yang lin...... It really doesn't work...... Big bad, you're going to toss me again...... Yes...... Big pervert ......"

"Hehe, don't you know that the big bad wolf likes to eat little sheep the most? How dare you send it to the door! ”

"I'll bite you to death!"

…… (To be continued......)
