Chapter 284: Pilot or Aircraft Designer, Who Is More Important?
Under the leadership of Zhao Zhijie, Yang Luo stepped into this heavily guarded and highly confidential factory.
In the whole plant, there are all kinds of high-precision equipment, highly automated robotic arms, gantry cranes, dynamic positioning systems and other assembly equipment.
Tens of millions of J-10D parts and components produced by supporting factories across the country will be assembled here and turned into a soaring blue sky J-10D fighter.
The last time he was in the test flight institute, Yang Luo could only look at the J-10D from a distance and couldn't get close to observe; And this time I was able to watch it up close, which was both a blessing and a torture.
After all, it's not your own car.
In the workshop, as far as the eye can see, there are two J-10Ds in production parked at the station, one is in a state of near-completion, and the things that a fighter should have are already there, and the final debugging and painting are underway; The other is currently only a general frame and is still in its initial state.
Engineers and technicians in overalls are in their own jobs, working intensely and non-stop.
Just glanced at the arrival of Yang Luo, a stranger, and then devoted himself to his work.
The factory is very large, only two aircraft are in production, and the degree of automation is very high, and there is no need for many workers, so it seems relatively empty.
Yang Luo was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, opening her eyes, looking left and right, and she was curious about everything.
Fighter plane, Yang Luo is very familiar with how to produce fighter jets, this is the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.
Yang Luo's footsteps finally stopped in front of the J-10D, which was about to be completed, and after a careful observation, he did not find any difference from the J-10D in the test flight institute.
"Assistant Zhao, it seems that the test flight of the J-10D has only been more than nine months now, is it over so soon?" Yang Luo pointed to the J-10D in front of him and asked.
Zhao Zhijie said with a smile: "Where is it so fast, this one is still a prototype, and the third one, after the debugging and painting, will fly to the test flight institute for a finalized test flight." ”
"Oh!"
Yang Luo nodded, understanding that this fighter was a modified product based on the flaws exposed by the previous two prototypes.
A fighter from scratch, the most exposed defects are the first test flight, that is, the engineering test flight, but some defects will not be exposed in the engineering test flight, but will not be exposed until the stage of finalized test flight.
Because the engineering test flight is only used to verify the basic safety and operability of the fighter, and to ensure that the fighter can fly to the test flight base for the final test flight alone; The finalized test flight is different, it is a comprehensive limit test, and the problems that are not easy to expose will be exposed.
"However, it is basically certain that this is the last prototype, the problems that should be solved have been solved, and this one is unlikely to expose new problems, and it is almost finalized." Zhao Zhijie said.
Yang Luo looked at the J-10D with only one frame on the other side, and said with some doubts: "Since you are sure that it can be finalized, what is the matter with that one, do you have an order so soon?" ”
Zhao Zhijie smiled dumbly: "Comrade Yang Luo, do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" ”
"I really don't understand, please advise." Yang Luo said sincerely.
Zhao Zhijie said with a smile: "It's just a rainy day, this one won't complete the final assembly, just build a frame first......"
There is no need for Zhao Zhijie to continue talking, when he heard the words "take precautions", Yang Luo already understood, slapped his forehead suddenly, and said secretly: "Why are you stupid?" Forget the fine traditions of our ancestors. ”
Yang Luo smiled embarrassedly: "I made a fool." ”
After continuing to visit for a while, Zhao Zhijie led Yang Luo through the production factory area, to the back office area, and to the outside of an office.
"Knock knock!"
Standing at the door of the office, Zhao Zhijie gently knocked on the door three times.
"Please come in."
Inside the office, a slightly tired and hoarse voice came from the office.
"Squeak!"
As Zhao Zhijie gently pushed open the office door, there was a slight sound of friction.
"Chief Master, Comrade Yang Luo is here."
Zhao Zhijie walked into the office, looked at the two middle-aged men sitting on the modular sofa in the reception area, Chief Teacher Yang and Chief Master Wang, and said softly respectfully.
Chief Engineer Yang is the chief designer of the J-10D, and Chief Engineer Wang is the deputy chief designer.
"Comrade Yang Luo, we meet again, please take a seat."
Mr. Yang smiled kindly and pointed to the single sofa on one side.
"Comrade Yang Luo, we've been waiting for you for a while." Chief Master Wang said with a smile.
"Hello Chief Master."
Yang Luo showed respect on his face, and solemnly saluted the military, thinking that Chief Master Wang was going to see him alone, but he didn't expect that it would be the two Chief Masters who wanted to see him together.
"Comrade Yang Luo, just now Xiao Zhao took you to visit the production of the J-10D, how do you feel?" Chief Master Yang smiled.
Chief Master Wang instructed Zhao Zhijie to make Yang Luo a cup of tea.
"Very good, it opened my eyes and let me know that the fighter planes we fly are produced in this way, and all the people are great." Yang Luo replied respectfully.
"You don't need to wear a high hat, do you know what we're looking for you this time?" Chief Master Yang said with a smile.
"I don't know." Yang Luo shook his head.
In fact, Yang Luo knew that he was just pretending to be confused.
"I really don't know?"
This sentence was asked by Chief Master Wang.
"I really don't know."
Yang Luo accentuated his tone, feeling a little strange in his heart, and asked twice what does this mean, don't believe me?
Chief Master Yang laughed and said: "Senior brother, I just said that this kid will say that he doesn't know, guess it for me, remember to bet, and divide half of your good tea with me." ”
Chief Master Wang glanced at Yang Luo, and sighed with some pain: "My tea!" ”
This style of painting made Yang Luo stunned.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Chief Master Yang waved his hand and looked at Yang Luo seriously, Chief Master Wang's face also became serious, and his eyes were on Yang Luo's face.
Yang Luo's heart sank, and he secretly said that he was coming.
"Comrade Yang Luo, whether you really don't know or fake don't know, let me ask you a question first." After a pause, Chief Engineer Yang continued: "Is it more important to be an ace pilot, or is it more important to be a talented aircraft designer?" ”
Yang Luo was reluctant to answer this question, and this was for him, although this answer was known to anyone with a little common sense.
But looking at the meaning of the two chief engineers, it would definitely not work if he didn't answer, so Yang Luo had to answer stubbornly: "Aircraft designer." ”
