The security check was carried out for several days, and the atmosphere at the base was quite heavy, especially the pilot team.

It also coincided with the new cold air moving south, bringing a large area of rain and snowfall, and the wind and rain were blowing and the snow fell lightly at night, which made the atmosphere of the base a little heavier.

The instructors and trainees of the Flying Shark are all very experienced pilots, and they are very aware of the current situation of the unit. In terms of equipment alone, whether it is the Air Force, the Navy, or the Army Aviation, there is an extreme shortage of fighters, especially the lack of third-generation trainers, especially the two-seat combat trainers assigned to the troops.

The SU-27UBK used by a certain unit of Qikong is a second-hand product handed over by the 300th Division, which has used the aircraft with ultra-high intensity in the past ten years, and has often been sent to other units for training. As a result, the life of the airframe is depleted, and today there are failures caused by the strength of the airframe's structure.

Rao is so, the troops are still reluctant to eliminate them, because there are not enough planes!

There are four versions of the J-10, namely the J-10, J-10A, J-10B, and J-10C of the whiteboard, and these four models are produced according to the law of "small-large-small-large". The J-10 of the tabula rasa is the first batch of fighters after the finalization of only a very small number of equipped troops, after technical precipitation and improvement to form a mature J-10A, and then the J-10A is mass-produced. J-10B is a major overhaul model on the basis of J-10A, including engines, avionics systems, airborne radar, and air intakes.

This is the law of the development of the J-10 series of fighters, one small step at a time, one small step at a time, and a steady advance of one small step at a time, slowly forming a family.

However, there is a special place that when the J-10C entered mass production, the J-10S (the two-seater version of the J-10A) has always been produced at full capacity.

What is the reason for this phenomenon? Can't wait for the two-seater version of the J-10C to come out? The troops really can't wait, the new training work of some units has been seriously under-trained, and the old and retired new pilots can't keep up, and the main reason is that there are not enough two-seater planes, which greatly restricts the progress of training!

While the two-seat model of the third-generation aircraft is being produced at full capacity, the troops are also extending the life of the old Su-27UBK and J-10S, and continue to use them at high intensity, which shows how short the number of these fighters is.

The two pilots who died in a certain unit of Qikong must have been very aware of the actual difficulties of the troops, so they did their best to keep the fighters, and they did not give up at the end of their lives......

Haiji sent a technical team to the Flying Shark unit to investigate. In the event of a major safety accident, it is the norm for the troops under the investigation group of the organ to pay close attention to safety education.

The leader of the research team is Senior Colonel Zhong Ming, who has had several encounters with Lao Chentou, and on the day of his arrival, he explained the purpose of his trip to Lao Chentou without taking a break, "Lao Chen, I came down this time to see the results of the investigation of your 'Trinity' dangerous situation, and secondly, I mainly came to find Comrade Li Zhan to understand some information. ”

"The 'March 1st' accident in Qikong has sounded the alarm for us, and the head of the maritime department has asked for rectification measures in the shortest possible time."

Lao Chen Tou said, "Rectification is the manufacturer's business, what's the use of looking for Li Zhan?" Director Zhong, I have ugly things to say ahead, it's okay for you to talk to him, but if you want to poach people, I will resolutely not agree. ”

"Look at what you said, what do I want him to do, it's a waste to put such a top man in the trap." Zhong Ming was slightly shocked in his heart, this old Chen has a very sensitive sense of smell.

Lao Chen squinted his eyes and said, "You Director Zhong is in charge of equipment testing and acceptance, and China Southern Airlines has a brigade dedicated to this work, and you are directly in charge of that brigade, right?" ”

A certain department of China Southern Airlines has a flight brigade in charge of equipment to be tested, which is the last standard line set by Hainan Airlines for manufacturers.

"Yes, but I don't mean to poach people. You know very well what is going on with this comrade Li Zhan, you are staring up and down, hoping that he will play a greater role in your flying shark. I don't agree to dig the head of the sea division, hehe. Zhong Ming smiled somewhat reluctantly.

Waving his hand, Zhong Ming said in a deep voice, "The accident of Qikong's '31' accident was the two-seater Su 27 introduced in the early years, and after receiving the report from the Air Force, we immediately conducted research and found that Comrade Li Zhan has very rich experience in the use of Su 27 fighters, and he knows both single-seat and two-seat fighters very well. ”

"You just said that he encountered a lot of dangers when using this fighter, and there was nothing to take care of." Old Chen Tou lit a cigarette as he spoke, and refilled Zhong Ming with a cup of tea.

Zhong Ming said with a smile, "That's true, the Air Force rumored that Comrade Li Zhan was an expert in handling dangerous situations, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated at first, but after in-depth study of his resume, I found that it was not an exaggeration at all. I'm here to see what he has to say. You know that we have quite a few Jian-11A fighters, and there are two regiments of Su-30s, and we must pay attention to the lesson of the '31' accident in Qikong. ”

He said with emotion, "Eight first-class merits, in less than four years, I have experienced six first-class and special dangers, plus this time it is seven times." The head of the maritime department even suspected that the grassroots were cheating, but when he looked at the file, it turned out that he had been transferred from the air force, so he believed it for eight points. Last night, the head of the Maritime Division personally called the Air Division to inquire about Li Zhan's situation, and today he sent a research team down. ”

If it weren't for the conclusive meritorious record, who would have believed that there was such a monster pilot.

"The name of the danger handling expert is well deserved, at least in the archives." Zhong Ming said.

Old Chen took the last puff of his cigarette, stood up and said, "Extremely talented pilot, let's go, you will know by looking at people." ”

The two of them didn't bring their entourage, and took the commuter car to the maintenance hangar, and Zhong Ming asked strangely, "Have you a flight today?" ”

"Nope. The investigation of the hidden dangers of J-11 has not yielded results, and I dare not let J-15 go to the sky. Old Chen said.

"So what is this for?" Zhong Ming pointed out the window of the car, and had entered the outfield, that is, the flight area.

Old Chen Tou said, "Go to repair the hangar, Li Zhan is there." In the past few days, he has been following the maintenance of the aircraft and serving as a staff officer for the manufacturer's technical team. ”

"Oh?"

This came as a surprise to the bell from the big agency.

It sounds like that Comrade Li Zhan is a very pragmatic pilot.

Zhong Ming, like others who didn't know Li Zhan, thought that he had eight first-class pilots in his hands, and even if he couldn't drink wine and drink tea and listen to songs in the army, his status was very transcendent. The favor, respect, and admiration of officers and men from division and brigade commanders down to grass-roots units will form an extremely relaxed environment that is only for them, and it is natural to engage in special things from time to time, and it is inevitable to occasionally give problems to their superiors.

All in all, any army will treat such soldiers as ancestors, eight first-class merits, that is really as an ancestor offering, as long as you don't do serious violations of discipline, such as singing and the like, you can fight sideways.

Only such "eight ones" officers and men conform to what everyone imagined.

When I arrived at the maintenance hangar, I saw a busy area. Yu Niandong and more than a dozen other factory technicians and more than a dozen maintenance officers and soldiers are performing their duties to carry out the testing work. Among them, the No. 037 J-7EGGH basically has a skeleton left, and everything that can be dismantled has been removed, and it looks like a transformer in a bulk state.

"It's a big project."

Zhong Ming is from a technical background, so he saw the door with a glance and asked, "Do you have the ability to conduct such a comprehensive test?" ”

"This aircraft can only be tested and checked like this, and the manufacturer has more than a dozen technical backbones." Old Chen pointed to a corner over there and led Zhong Ming over.

In the corner of the wall, the lights were on, Yu Niandong and Peng Chubin were squatting there and discussing something nervously on a circuit board placed on an oilcloth, and a very young major in mechanical uniform, who was not wearing labor protection gloves, and his hands were full of oil.

But the major said, "There is no problem with the communication system, which means that the cockpit power supply system is normal, and the engine is running normally, which means that the flight control system has a normal power supply." The system power supply is abnormal, and it is judged to be a partial power supply failure. I agree with this conclusion. ”

"As a result, the scope of the fault is greatly reduced." Peng Chubin said with a sigh of relief.

Yu Niandong also breathed a sigh of relief, the power supply bus failure may involve the entire improvement work is not in place, and now this most serious possibility has been ruled out, which in turn proves that the improvement work as a whole is no problem.

The major pointed to the circuit board and said, "This circuit board is the same as other models, so I still stick to my previous opinion, it is a birth defect, and the failure rate is very low, so we are easy to ignore." ”

Yu Niandong said, "This is easy to do, we can solve it on the spot." ”

"I have one more concern, the sealing of the warplanes. The use of the hole crutch will be intense, so the sealing problem is prominent. My advice is to seal all the lines again to avoid short circuits caused by the intrusion of high salt moisture. ”

"No problem, since it's all dismantled, everything that needs to be done has been done, and our goal is to ensure that the Dong San Turning No. 3 testing machine can be used for at least 3,000 hours." Yu Niandong said and slowly stopped, looking at Li Zhan's tone drifting, "Of course, the premise is that you should be more leisurely when you drive, and don't move seven or eight Gs." ”

The major looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Chen!" When Peng Chubin wiped his sweat, he saw Lao Chen Tou standing behind him, and a colonel, who immediately stood up and said hello.

Yu Niandong and the major also hurriedly stood up and said hello.

Old Chen nodded slightly, pointed to the major and introduced to Zhong Ming, "Director Zhong, this is Comrade Li Zhan." ”

Zhong Ming was quite surprised, looking at Li Zhan, who was as low-key as an ordinary maintenance officer, he had a very good impression, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Hello Comrade Li Zhan, I am Zhong Ming of the Technical Equipment Department of the Hai Division. ”

"Hello Chief!" Li Zhan was a little flustered, and hurriedly grabbed the hem and wiped his hands vigorously, but found that it was difficult to wipe off, he gritted his teeth and took out the white-haired white flying labor protection gloves in his pocket and put them on, and was about to shake hands but suddenly realized that it was impolite to shake hands with gloves, so he froze again.

Zhong Ming's impression of Li Zhan is better, look, this is a low-key fighter, eight first-class merits without the slightest hero, giving people the feeling of being a young recruit. The leader likes young recruits, and he is simply obedient and does not discount his work, and he dislikes the veteran oil the most.

He held Li Zhan's right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously a few times, and said with a smile, "Comrade Li Zhan, I have admired you for a long time, and I finally met a real person, not bad, very good young man!" ”

"Thank you, Chief!" Li Zhan raised his head and saluted.

Lao Chen said, "Xiao Li, Director Zhong has something to consult you, you can pack up and report to the office building." ”

"Mr. Chen, I don't think I need to go to the office building, let Xiao Li take me around, investigate, where can I hide in the house." Zhong Ming said with a smile.

Li Zhan's eyes rolled, and he asked, "Chief, I don't know much about the situation when I first arrive, Comrade Zhang Xueyang is more familiar with it, so I ask him to accompany you to inspect." ”

"Wow!"

Li Zhan hurriedly ran over and shouted Zhang Xueyang.

"This kid." Lao Chen Tou thought about what was going on, waved his hand to let the others continue to work, he and Zhong Ming walked out, and said, "Old Zhong, what is the interview team you are going to do?" I'll say hello to you in advance, anyone can interview you, not Li Zhan. ”

Zhong Ming frowned and said, "It's not the interview team I bringed, people have tasks, and they don't belong to me." Why can't you interview Li Zhan? Eight first-class pilots, don't you publicize what are you hiding? ”

"I don't count this matter, anyway, you inform the interview team in advance." Old Chen said cryptically.

Zhong Ming shook his head, "I can't control the interview team, they came down from the task of the General Political Department." ”

The head is bigger than Haisi, and Lao Chen doesn't say anything anymore.

No longer talking about this topic, the two waited for Li Zhan and Zhang Xueyang to come over, and walked to the training area. The characteristics of the Fertile Ground Flight Training Base are naturally two simulated flight deck training areas, of which the first training area is also the world's most advanced land-based sliding jump take-off interception and landing training area.

In the process of visiting, Li Zhan couldn't wait to hide himself behind everyone, resolutely not to speak if he could, and when he couldn't speak, he also coping with a few words and directly handing over the conversation to Zhang Xueyang. So much so that Zhang Xueyang kept looking at Li Zhan with grateful eyes, thinking that Comrade Li was enough buddies, and he didn't forget to take care of his old comrades-in-arms.

Zhong Ming also saw that Li Zhan seemed to have some concerns, and he didn't break it, so he visited all the way, and after the commuter car came to pick him up, Zhang Xueyang was sent away after returning to the organ building, Zhong Ming, Lao Chen Tou and Li Zhan came to the chief teacher's office, and the next thing to talk about is the real purpose of Zhong Ming's investigation.

Zhong Ming directly asked Li Zhan a question: "From the perspective of flight control, is there any way to avoid flight control system failures such as the 'Trinity' accident?" ”

Lao Chen also attaches great importance to the fact that several J-15s used by the Flying Shark still use the same flight control system as the Su-27 and J-11A, and the failure of the J-11A may also occur in the J-15.

Obviously, Li Zhan had thought about it, and he replied neatly: "I think there is!" ”

Zhong Ming and Old Chen pricked up their ears.
