Chapter 416: Fixed-wing private jets
Chapter 416
On the way to the United States, Xu Ziling and the others thought about it, and after arriving in the United States, they first familiarized themselves with the specific situation of the town, and then arranged the action plan according to the detailed situation, and cooperated with several agents to get rid of Xiong Zhiwen.
After resting for the night, and getting up early the next morning, Lao Hu told a few people that he was ready and took them to Nevada in the afternoon.
"Why don't we go early and come back today? If you go in the afternoon, won't you be back tomorrow? ”
The two states are hundreds of kilometers apart, if you set off in the afternoon, you can only come back in the evening, and several people don't know how to choose such a time.
Lao Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately thought that a few people thought about it, "You are talking about taking a car, and we won't go by car." ”
"How's that going? Plane? I didn't see you here, there is a runway and a tarmac. ”
"......" Lao Hu looked at a few people with eyes that hated iron and steel, "You guys, you have been in China for a long time, this is the United States, don't you see that the road is so smooth, you can take off when you push the plane on the road, who doesn't have to do anything and the whole professional runway comes out, this broken place, people can see one, and the ghost doesn't care how you take off and land." ”
Cultural differences are really deadly, private jets are really rare in China, and in their impression, if there is an airplane, there must be a tarmac or runway, but they don't realize that private jets are too common in the United States.
"Come, I'll take you to see my plane." Lao Hu beckoned a few people to go outside, "Here in the United States, small farms have airplanes, so it is easy to buy a plane privately, as long as you have a driver's license and fly at low altitude, as long as you don't go to the military restricted area, fly with you." ”
After all, they have been to the United States twice, and they must be familiar with the situation here, but they didn't react just now.
followed Lao Hu to the garage, but a few people didn't notice that there was another floor in the garage where they parked last night, only to see Lao Hu open the door inside, and a small white propeller plane appeared in front of several people.
"This is the Maule M-9 light aircraft, made locally in the United States, only hundreds of thousands of dollars, not bad?"
Lao Hu patted the plane and said to a few people proudly.
Xu Ziling has seen a lot of fighter jets and helicopters, but this is really the first time I have seen a private jet, just like the first time people in the deep mountains and old forests enter the city, I feel extremely novel.
Seeing this guy, Xu Ziling suddenly remembered if he had time to get this thing to play, the domestic ban on the air didn't matter much to him, the military factory originally had this convenience, and it was not bad to drive this thing around when there was nothing to do.
Thinking about this, he immediately asked the lion to scan it, thinking that when he had time to return to China, he would also get one out to play, anyway, this small fixed-wing plane would not take much work.
"Don't look at this plane as small, but flying into the sky is not much different from taking a large passenger plane." Seeing that several people liked this plane very much, Lao Hu said with a smile on the side, "The silence has been improved by my son, and it is many times smaller than ordinary propeller aircraft." ”
"Huh?" Xu Ziling immediately became interested, "Your son understands this?" ”
"Of course!" Speaking of his son, Lao Hu looked proud, "He graduated from MIT, he is familiar with dynamics and material applications, and he will be in Maule after graduation, otherwise I would not have bought this plane." ”
Lao Hu is still very modest when he says this, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng may not be able to hear it, but Xu Ziling is different, he himself is engaged in technical skills, he can know that Lu Dao can improve the mute aspect of a mature model, this ability will not be more familiar with Lao Hu, but proficient.
And from his words, Xu Ziling also got another news, Lao Hu's son is definitely a genius! Lao Hu has been in the United States for more than 30 years, even if he gets married in two years, his son is now no more than twenty-three years old, and he can graduate from Massachusetts and work at the age of twenty-three, what is that not a genius?
Thinking that he needed talents in this area in his laboratory, Xu Ziling really became interested in Lao Hu's son, considering that there were still important things to come, and they were going to return to China anyway, and it was not too late to talk about it after returning to China, so he didn't say what he thought.
"Then when I return home, I must see you."
"Yes, you're about the same age, so you must have something to talk about." Lao Hu said with a smile, "After receiving the news from home, I asked them to prepare to return to China, and now I will receive you, I will let them set off early in the morning, and they should all be on the plane now, but I heard this kid say a few days ago that we now have a private military factory in Star City, which has developed a new helicopter, and he is going to apply for a job to try it, you are familiar with the situation, is there such a military factory in Star City?" Now we allow private access to military products in our country? ”
"Ha Lu haha......" Xu Ziling and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately burst into laughter, they felt that they had met Lao Hu, there were too many coincidences, a private military factory, isn't that Xu Ziling's red star?
Their burst of laughter without warning made Lao Hu stunned again, and he thought that he had said something wrong.
"Yes, indeed." Yang Kaiming finally stopped laughing, "We've been there before, it's more familiar, it's right to go there, it's the most advanced aircraft manufacturing base in our country." ”
It is impossible for a few people to show off their relationship with the military factory, and once Lao Hu returns to China, as he said, once his son goes to the military factory, there will always be an intersection in the future, and it is not too late to surprise him earlier, so he just said that they are very familiar with the military factory.
Although Lao Hu knew that the three of them were laughing a little strangely, but seeing that they didn't say it explicitly, he thought that there was something he couldn't say, and he was embarrassed to ask more.
At noon, a few people ate a Western meal packed up by Lao Hu, rested for less than half an hour, and were ready to leave.
There are tactical watches, and a few people don't have any equipment to prepare, of course, proper camouflage is still needed, before going out, Lao Hu took out a few outdoor clothes for everyone to wear, and also carried some bits and pieces of outdoor equipment, Yang Kaiming also carried a camera around his neck, completely looking like he went to the Grand Canyon for sightseeing.
After packing up, Lao Hu pushed the plane that had already been filled with fuel out of the warehouse, started the plane at the door, and let a few people sit on it.
Looking at this gravel road of less than 400 meters, and there are many trees on both sides, and the road surface is not very smooth, Xu Ziling is really worried about whether he can fly by using this place as a runway, and he feels trembling when he sits on the plane.
"Don't worry." Lao Hu probably saw that several people were worried, and hurriedly said; "My skills are very good, and every time I take off and land, I do it here, so I promise that there will be no problems."
Several people are not people who are afraid of death, but there will always be an inexplicable panic in their hearts when life is not in their own hands under certain circumstances. Fixed-wing aircraft take off and land under such conditions, it is too unbelievable for them, and trees as high as ten meters on both sides of the road abound, if the plane has a big fluctuation, it is estimated that it will crash into the trees, and make a disaster and cause people to be injured, they don't want to be injured as soon as the mission starts.
However, Lao Hu assured that a few people felt a little better, and this situation was maintained until the landing gear of the plane successfully lifted off against the top of the treetops, and they completely put their hearts down.
"Lao Hu, this technique!" Sitting in the plane, it seems that you can hear the "whoosh" sound caused by the air flow of the plane flying by, Xu Ziling gave a thumbs up, and sincerely admired Lao Hu's skills.
He can drive a helicopter, and as long as the fighter does not complete too difficult maneuvers, it is no problem, but he is absolutely not sure that he can fly such a light plane and take off smoothly in such a complex field.
"What's this?" Lao Hu replied to Xu Ziling while adjusting the course, "That is, practice makes perfect." ”
"Practice makes perfect" is very easy to say, if you are a stupid person, there are some things that he can't get at most, and this thing also has to pay attention to a person's ability, but not everyone can apply this word.
After adjusting the course, the plane flew smoothly in the air of several hundred meters, at this time several people felt that as Lao Hu said before, after the plane was modified, the noise was really small, they sat in the cabin, and they could hear clearly without headphones talking between several people, which was really much worse than a passenger plane.
This also made Xu Ziling firm in his idea of pulling Lao Hu and his son to the military factory.
The speed of the M9 is not very fast, it is less than 200 kilometers in an hour, and it flies all the way east, and in an hour, it crosses the state line and reaches Nevada.
In northern California, there are mountains and basins, and everywhere you go, you can see green, but once you arrive in Nevada, you will see a patch of yellow sand.
"It's a good plane." Yang Kaiming kept shooting outside with the camera, looking leisurely, not at all like a person who came to perform a task, "Why don't we get one too?" When you don't have anything to do, you can take everyone to fly in the sky like this. ”
Presumably it was this way to appreciate the benefits of this light aircraft for sightseeing, and Yang Kaiming suddenly mentioned that he wanted to get such an airplane.
"You don't think you can apply it!"
Lao Hu's words are very tactful, but the meaning is obvious: You are a soldier, can you play this?
"Moreover, if this thing is bought back to China, it will cost a lot of money, and it can't fly around in China, so it's not suitable." As if he felt that it was too blunt to say that, he paused and added.
"I'm not going to buy it, just get one yourself, this thing shouldn't have much technical content." The first half of Yang Kaiming's sentence was to answer Lao Hu, and the second half of the sentence was to ask Xu Ziling.
"yes, let's go back and find time to get one out, but it's a little bigger than this, otherwise so many people won't be able to sit down."
Li Cheng remembered that time when he took the "Thunder Dragon" to take Tang Jing to play, he was also interested, and hurriedly interjected.
"Look, it's really good for sightseeing, I'll talk about it when I have time."
Xu Ziling also has this idea, but he has a lot of things on his hands, and he really doesn't know when Lu Dao will have this free time, so he can only answer them like this at this time.
