Zhongnanchang Station is very simple, which can be seen from the ward where Li Zhan has lived in the past few days.

The outfield is built on a hilltop that has been leveled, so the tower is nearly 300 meters away from the runway, and the apron is deployed on one side of the tower near the cliff, and the landing gear tires can be fixed against the edge of the cliff if necessary, and the butt of the fighter can be suspended in the air.

Looking at the outfield of Zhongnanchang Station from the air, there are some aircraft carrier flight decks.

The No. 007 J-10S combat trainer plane, which had been transferred to the site for nearly a month, was finally pulled out of the only sealed hangar by the tractor and pulled straight to the take-off position on the runway. Li Zhan and Zhang Wei strode over with their flying helmets facing the rising sun, and the rising sun was still holding a pipa behind the mountain in the east, and the appearance of half-covering their faces was really annoying.

"It's finally seeing the sun, even if it's gray again a few hours later." Li Zhan sighed with emotion, raised his head and scanned the sky, most of which were still gray clouds.

At this moment, the impact of the ice and snow disaster is still continuing, the National Meteorological Observatory predicts that most of the southern parts of the country will be under rain, snow and freezing weather in the coming week, and the Spring Festival is likely to repeat the scene of the snow disaster in 08, and this time there is more time to prevent and more ways and means, the relevant departments said that the impact can be minimized.

In any case, some units of the army have already dispatched snowplows that have been urgently converted from armored vehicles to assist in clearing snow from local roads, especially the tens of thousands of vehicles trapped on the highways, and urgently need to open roads to relieve them.

Zhang Wei said, "You can come leisurely for a while, the weather will change, don't hold on." ”

Li Zhan said, "You put a hundred hearts, you don't know my flying skills, don't forget that I am now an expert in handling dangerous situations, I can fly civil aviation cargo planes, what is a fighter jet." ”

"That doesn't sound right, what kind of fighter is nothing, a fighter is much more difficult to drive than a cargo plane, okay." Zhang Wei said.

Li Zhan said, "It's nothing, don't drill the horns." ”

The maintenance crew, which was specially transferred from Guibei, had completed the last pre-takeoff inspection of the plane, and the major mechanic accompanied Li Zhan and Zhang Wei to inspect each item one by one. Li Zhan and Zhang Wei checked very carefully, and each item was repeatedly confirmed before it was crossed. The process is a lot more than usual, and the content is more time-consuming.

"For the first time in more than a decade, no fighter jet has taken off from here." Zhang Wei said.

Li Zhan said, "Therefore, we must not fail, and no matter how big the difficulties are, we must overcome them." ”

Zhang Wei's original intention was to tell Li Zhan that all the take-off and landing data of Zhongnanchang Station were invalid and asked him to be careful not to fly and not to be brutal, but Li Zhan thought that Zhang Wei was encouraging him to move forward bravely, which made Zhang Wei not know how to answer for a while.

"Instructor Li, the last item is the landing gear, according to your instructions, we have carried out a special inspection of the landing gear, and there is no problem at all." said the major mechanic.

After Li Zhan confirmed, he saluted the major mechanic and said, "Thank you, hard work!" ”

Two people boarded the plane.

It was 8:45 a.m.

Seven kilometers away in a straight line on the southwest mountain, Zhao Long and Wang Hu drove a Wrangler halfway up the mountain along the mountain road with a thin layer of snow remaining, and they deliberately added snow chains to the tires to increase the grip, so there was no danger along the way. At this moment, the car stopped, and Zhao Long, dressed as a photographer, looked for angles everywhere, and the telephoto lens and wide-angle lens switched to shoot the snow scene with various clicks, and kept saying praise such as "It's still beautiful in the snowy scenery in the mountains".

Wang Hu, who was driving, walked over in a thick tweed coat and complained, "Brother Zhao Long, what can you photograph early in the morning on this cold day, you have photographed this mountain hundreds of times." ”

One of these two is a photography enthusiast and the other is an off-road enthusiast, and the combination of the two hobbies has led to countless beauties around them, of course, the main premise is that their families are not bad, and they have enough financial resources to support them to develop their hobbies.

Zhao Long habitually swept away the messy long hair, and said, "I'll let you see a new weapon in a while, it is guaranteed that it is worth it for you to come out of the warm quilt and accompany me up the mountain, go, go to the top of the mountain!" ”

"What weapon? Bought the lens again? Or an old camera? Wang Hu was a little bored, what else could Zhao Long say about weapons besides cameras or lenses.

Zhao Long smiled mysteriously, "Do you see the big box in the trunk of the car, it's inside." You'll find out in a moment, guaranteed to blow your mind. ”

The two of them talked back and forth and got into the car, Wang Hu cautiously gave the oil, and drove the wrangler to climb the mountain top along the winding mountain road vigorously. They have come to this mountain many times, ordinary people will not come here, the so-called winding mountain road is a non-paved road that I don't know which year and month to repair, it has long been gone, and it has been excavated by off-road vehicle enthusiasts for several years after years of rolling and pressing out of the road. It didn't take long for the mountain and the trail to spread in outdoor sports circles and became one of the places for these people to play in their spare time.

Since the snow and ice disaster, people have reduced or canceled their outings, and the snow on the road is unattended and there is no sign of vehicles, indicating that no one has visited the area for several days.

There were several side slips, which made Zhao Long break out in a cold sweat one after another, Wang Hu was made to be enthusiastic, and he was stunned to push the car to the famous small platform at the top of the mountain, and the sense of conquest made Wang Hu feel a hundred times more energetic, and the resentment just now disappeared.

He was even more pleasantly surprised in the back, but when he saw Zhao Long open the large box in the rear trunk, and then took out a lot of hands and feet from it and assembled them neatly, and soon a drone with four vertical propellers appeared in front of him.

Zhao Long held the remote control in his hand, pointed to the drone and said proudly, "The photography drone airlifted from Germany, can take pictures and videos, and it is 20 million pixel HD, it can continue to fly for more than an hour, the maximum range has reached 40 kilometers, and the price is 6,900 euros, which is more than 60,000 yuan, hehe, don't have this expression, you can't buy it if you have money in China, I found a relationship to buy it with a lot of effort, and money is the best solution." ”

"Holy! Unmanned aircraft! Wang Hu came back from the shock, it was a shock.

The remote control drone in 2012 is definitely a representative of high-end electronic products with high precision and cutting-edge technology, which is a remote control drone that can fly 40 kilometers, not a remote control aircraft that flies 40 meters. At this time, this kind of technology is still regarded as non-transferable and sensitive technology by the United States. In the civilian market, this kind of high-tech products still occupy most of the market in Europe and the United States.

"In the past, aerial photography needed to take an airplane, such as a helicopter, and hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost in an hour or two, but with this kind of drone, it is like playing a game and taking photos with your fingers, and it is more stable and flexible, and some tricky shooting angles can't help it."

Zhao Long smiled, swept away his messy long hair, and said, "I'll let you see what professional aerial photography is, move it down, be a little careful." ”

Wang Hu did so, and Zhao Long began to make preparations before takeoff.

"Turn around, check it and you can take off."

Tang Guozheng sat on the tower and personally commanded, staring at the white fuselage of the No. 007 J-10S combat training aircraft, which was quite clear, and he was very nervous. There is no problem in flying, and the glide distance of this plane is only more than 300 meters when taking off with afterburner. The difficulty is in the selection of the route after leaving the ground, to avoid the situation of "pulling up and intruding", the aircraft must maintain an ultra-low altitude (relative to the runway) after leaving the ground, and then turn right into the mountain, and fly over a line of sky before getting enough climbing airspace.

No one has ever flown up, so Li Zhan has to fly in order to get important data.

Li Zhan looked at the large-scale chart again, and replied, "Cave and hole turn, check before taking off." ”

Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the rear cabin, checked each system step by step, "The flight control system is normal. ”

"Confirm." Li Zhan replied.

And so it went through it all over again.

In order to test the flight with Li Zhan, Zhang Wei put a lot of effort into it, and ran back to Guibei to simulate the cockpit and flew with the experienced Dai Mengmin a few times, otherwise he wouldn't know where the switch was. Of course, he had to do very little – he was only responsible for collecting data and taking pictures, so he had a fairly professional DSLR camera around his neck and a telephoto lens that could be swapped out at any time to shoot subjects that needed close-ups.

After going through the planned route for the last time in his mind, Li Zhan asked the tower, "Tower, I'm ready to take off normally, no afterburner, it's over." ”

"Roger, ready to take off." Tang Guozheng breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart.

After Li Zhan stepped on the brakes, he pushed the throttle stick to the end, and the Taihang turbofan engine burst out with a huge roar, the nozzle suddenly opened to the limit, and the scorching tail flame sprayed out. When the fighter did not obey the call, Li Zhan released the brakes, and the strong thrust pushed the more than ten tons of fighter to slide up, the speed became faster and faster, and finally reached the take-off speed after running less than 400 meters, Li Zhan decisively lifted the wheels, but compared with the usual, this time the range of his lifting wheels was very small, and it was difficult to see clearly from a distance that the tires of the front landing gear had actually left the ground.

"Flap one, this kid is bold enough." Tang Guozheng immediately understood what was going on.

Li Zhan lifted the wheels, but only after taxiing for more than 200 meters did the rear landing gear slowly leave the ground, that is to say, in these 200 meters or so, the plane was half-flying and half-running with the front landing gear tires off the ground and the rear landing gear tires still hitting the ground.

At the beginning, Li Zhan controlled the height and speed very well.

The No. 007 J-10S combat trainer aircraft flew up steadily on the runway surface like a martial arts master using light power to float on water.

Tang Guozheng couldn't help but nod slightly and praised, "The little prince of the lever is worthy of his name, people are arrogant and have the capital to run wildly, look at this action, this hand looks at our division, few of us can fly out of this quality." ”

In a word, everyone on duty at the tower was ashamed.
