Chapter 351: An Unexpected Surprise Hidden in the Mountains
A few months ago, the "Thunder Dragon" was officially established at HKUST, although such a military project will not be publicized.
But in our country, there will never be a shortage of such things as inside information.
So a few days after the project was approved, there was a related post on a well-known military forum on the domestic network.
It's just that this news has not attracted the attention of most people.
Because on the Internet, there are too many related fake news, and this time this post titled "China's independent research and development of heavy armed helicopters", in the eyes of most military enthusiasts, my skills and skills do not meet this requirement.
And this post also said that this project is led by a private military enterprise and jointly developed with the National University of Science and Technology, which makes people even more unbelievable.
I thought this was just such a gimmick made by the poster in order to mix up experience in the forum.
So at that time, this post did not make any waves on the Internet.
I thought that such a post would be drowned by the army of water stickers, and there would be no possibility of floating up again.
But things are not absolute, just over a month later, it was the same ID that sent a few pictures in the forum again, which quickly caused an uproar in the entire forum, making the majority of military enthusiasts turn out more than a month ago, this old post issued by this ID.
The so-called pictures are true and true, and this time the pictures sent by this netizen named "Iron Blood" are a heavy gunship flying in the sky.
And below the picture, the netizen also indicated the time and place where these photos were taken.
The gunship on the photo is indeed a model that everyone has never seen, and there is no paint on it, so you can see that it is a prototype at a glance.
After netizens determined that the pictures were not PS, these photos quickly became popular on the forum, and countless military enthusiasts replied in the post, asking the landlord about the information of the private military industrial enterprises mentioned in the previous post, as well as the detailed data of the helicopter in the photo.
The country has a completely independent research and development of heavy helicopter gunships, which immediately attracted the attention of all military enthusiasts.
Suddenly, this unknown gunship became the darling of the Internet in just a few days.
And this netizen called "Iron Blood" has also become the object of pursuit by many military enthusiasts, and they all want to get the most detailed information from him.
The gunship in the photo is indeed a "Thunder", and when the first post from "Iron Will" appeared on the Internet, the relevant departments of the state, as well as the University of Science and Technology and military factories, all found out.
After some discussion, everyone thought that it didn't matter if such news was disclosed, as long as the relevant guidance was carried out, so they kept paying attention to it and let the news on the Internet go freely.
"Iron Blood", a senior military enthusiast, a native of Star City, has a father who served in the army, influenced by the family, and is quite fascinated by the military, but due to his physical problems, he failed to join the army.
He has been a member of military forums for a long time, but he is the kind of person who likes to dive, so he has no reputation above the forum.
When he happened to pass by his father's study, the door of his father's room was not closed, and he heard a phone call from his father who he didn't know who he was talking about, and the phone was about the armed helicopter.
When he learned the news, he didn't think about secrecy or anything like that, so he returned to his room and immediately sent out the matter of the "Thunder Dragon" project in the forum.
This is his first post on the forum.,Of course, it's a lot of attention.,I thought it would get everyone's attention.,But I didn't expect that there was only a few people's attention.,And most of them are the landlords who replied.,Passing by irrigation and the like.。
This made him very angry, but he also knew that even if he had a verbal war with something unfounded, he would not be able to get a huge number of military enthusiasts.
Unwillingly, he decided to find evidence to make those who ridiculed him in the post speechless, so in the following time, he has been paying attention to this matter, and even ran around Xu Ziling's military factory.
Although he was able to enter the munitions factory after a kilometer, in order to find evidence to prove that he was right, he walked around the munitions factory every day with a high-power camera for a period of time.
It was inevitably discovered by security personnel.
At this time, the military factory had just been expanded, and its reputation outside the country was not obvious, and the security personnel found out about this situation and thought that they were spying.
At that time, because Yang Haisheng arranged for some soldiers on duty to help with security work, and at that time, the military factory had the right to arrest those who sped on the military factory, so he was invited into the small room of the security center.
Fortunately, it was Uncle Zhao who was in charge of these things at that time, and such things have happened before, Zhilu Dao is not necessarily a spy, but it may be those military enthusiasts or reporters or the like, after the security personnel reported to him, he asked the people below to politely invite people.
At that time, "Iron Will" was discovered by the security personnel, and he did not panic and honestly told the matter.
And after arriving at the security center, he told Uncle Zhao his information and his father's identity to the one who came.
Uncle Zhao verified according to what he said, and learned that what he said was true, so he didn't say anything and let him go.
And all this, Xu Ziling didn't know what to do, because he was busy at the time, where did he have time to care about this.
After this incident, "Iron Will" did not flinch, and still ran around with his camera from time to time.
His persistence was not in vain, and after many years, he finally saw a new model of helicopter gunship appear in the sky above the military factory, so he had the pictures on the forum.
The "Thunder Dragon" flew several times in the military factory, and then tested it several times in the 81st Division, and because the "Iron Blood" was a native of Star City, every time the "Thunder Dragon" flew over Star City, he did not fall.
The photos of the "Thunder Dragon" are constantly updated on the forum, which has attracted more and more people's attention. Not only military enthusiasts, but even ordinary netizens and reporters have appeared one by one.
In this regard, it is common to see people with long guns and short cannons on the periphery of the military factory, and even more so, they are actually holding high-powered astronomical telescopes there.
Regarding the news on the Internet and the media, whether it is a military factory or a university of science and technology, except for the statement that this model is named "Thunder", other news has not come forward to confirm.
But in the face of many test flights and tests, everyone believes that the armed aircraft has reached a mature stage, but there is no data about this model, which makes everyone guess what the situation of this helicopter is.
As a result, in the past few months, the topic of this helicopter has been the hottest on all military forums on the Internet.
"Bloody Army Soul" and "Old Bird in the Sky" are senior military enthusiasts, native of Zhejiang Province, and are the managers of the forum where "Iron Blood" posted.
Because the two are in the same city and have common hobbies, they met and became good brothers in reality.
The appearance of "Thunder Dragon" filled the entire circle of military enthusiasts with topics, and the same was true for the two of them.
On this day, the two met to go to the Tianmu Mountains in eastern Zhejiang Province for outdoor activities.
Driving into the mountains, the two took their equipment and began to hike into the mountains. This place, they had known before they set off, and there was not much danger, so they moved forward with confidence.
Both of them are white-collar workers, and their outdoor survival is also due to military hobbies, and since they only have two days on the weekend, the two did not plan to go far into the mountains this time.
It had been almost five hours since they entered the mountain in the morning, and they were still a few hundred meters away from the summit where they were now.
"Take a break at the top of the mountain and replenish something."
"Okay."
The two discussed as they walked.
Far from the city, there is no sound except for the occasional birdsong, and it is extraordinarily quiet.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The two of them were climbing to the top of the hill when they suddenly faintly heard a roar in the air in the distance.
"What sound?"
"Propeller sounds, like?"
"Quick, run up, I remember there's a military airfield here, probably a military helicopter."
In addition to carrying the map, the two also looked at the satellite map before departure, and there was a military airport on the other side of Zhilu Dao Mountain, and out of their love for military affairs, they couldn't help but think of the gunship when they heard the sound of the propeller.
……
The current location of the aircraft carrier is in the East China Sea due east of Zhejiang Province, so the place for Xu Ziling to transfer them is a small airfield in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Zhejiang Province.
The airport is surrounded by mountains, has no runway, and only has a helipad, so it can only land helicopters, and it is completely a heliport dedicated to providing transfers.
The airport may be small, but it has a lot to offer.
The two helicopters in the sky contacted the airport when they were still dozens of kilometers away from the airport, and when they arrived at the location, Xu Ziling and Yang Kaiming directly drove the armed plane and landed.
Got in place, turned off the propellers, turned off the engine, and the trio got off the plane.
The person in charge of the airfield is a middle-aged man, but his military rank is not low, he is a major, higher than Xu Ziling and several others.
Salute and politely say a few words, the person in charge pulled the two into the airport room, and asked the ground staff below to check and refuel the plane.
……
"This ...... This is the 'Thunder Dragon'?! ”
The two guys, who were out of breath and finally climbed to the top of the mountain, took out their binoculars, looked up and down the airport, and saw two planes parked on the tarmac.
At a glance, they found that the two helicopters were not the models they knew, but from the appearance, they found that they were very familiar.
Stunned for a moment, the two thought of the helicopter they had been discussing during this time, and found that it was the same as the two helicopters in front of them now, so they shouted in unison excitedly.
