Chapter 150: Suicide note

After the hustle and bustle of the night, the sun rose from the horizon again, blooming with a smiling face, silently watching the world in all its forms.

In the morning light, the familiar melody of the wake-up call sounded quietly and punctually, resounding in the quiet living area of the test flight yard.

A new day has quietly arrived.

The guard troops, ground staff, logistics, and test pilots of the test flight institute got up on time, lined up at the training ground, and went out for drills.

Non-military staff members who are part of the test pilots are no longer in the group, they are very free, they can go out together if they want, and they can sleep lazily if they want to.

Yang Luo does not belong to the test flight institute, but is only temporarily transferred to perform tasks, so Yang Luo can be said that no one cares, and it is okay to go out for exercises, but Yang Luo still consciously opened his eyes at the moment when the wake-up call sounded, got up to wash, and went to the training ground to exercise according to yesterday's memory.

Pilots, it is important to maintain physical fitness, and self-discipline is a must.

When Yang Luo arrived at the training ground, there were already many officers and soldiers already lined up for training, and there were also many non-military people wearing sportswear running and exercising at the training ground to stretch their bodies.

Yang Luo's arrival attracted everyone's attention, especially all the test pilots of the test flight group, most of them looked at Yang Luo with a little bad eyes, yesterday they had heard Han Bo and Wang Xin say that a pilot of the 31st Division came to the test flight institute to carry out the J-10C test flight mission.

In the strange eyes of others, Yang Luo started the exercise program that he had to do every morning alone.

"He is Yang Luo, the pilot of the 31st Division who performed the test flight in your mouth?" During the run, a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel asked Han Bo.

Han Bo nodded and said, "That's right, it's him." ”

The colonel's eyes narrowed slightly, and while waving his hands, he ran with the pace of the large army, and said meaningfully, "Chief Master Wang wants to conduct another test flight of the J-10C, and he also found an outsider to carry out it, it must be that we are not good enough, tell everyone that after breakfast, everyone will learn how he conducts the test flight." ”

"Regiment Commander, Chief Master Wang came to him for a test flight, obviously because he didn't trust our test flight group, our test flight group has lost all face, you can still be so calm, and you want us to learn from him......" Han Bo said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't be resentful, since Chief Master Wang has found him to test fly, there must be something special about him." The colonel interrupted Han Bo's words and said, "Is it important for our test pilots to lose their lives or lose their lives, what's the matter with studying?" Only by continuing to learn can our flying skills improve, be safer in carrying out missions, and improve our chances of survival.

"Yes, Captain." Although Han Bo thought that the head of the regiment was right, he still replied a little reluctantly.

Hearing Han Bo's reluctant answer, the colonel couldn't help but shake his head, and didn't continue, he knew that even if Han Bo was reluctant, he wouldn't dare to disobey his instructions.

After a hearty workout, Yang Luo returned to the dormitory to engage in housekeeping and hygiene, and then went to the empty stove to solve the breakfast problem.

After resting for a while, Yang Luo took a commuter car and walked into the flight briefing room in the flight area of the test flight institute on time at nine o'clock.

In the briefing room, Chief Master Wang was already waiting, and there was a role that should be a secretary assistant or something, a man in his thirties.

"Good morning, Chief Master." Yang Luo raised his hand and saluted to Chief Master Wang in accordance with the etiquette of a soldier.

"Good morning." Chief Master Wang nodded, which was considered a return gift, and said, "How did you sleep last night?" But don't say you didn't sleep well in bed. ”

"How can I be, I'm so good, I don't recognize the bed, as long as there is a place for me, I can sleep soundly." Yang Luo said with a smile.

"Just sleep well, or I won't dare let you go up." Chief Commander Wang said with a smile, "Do you know how many test flights a new aircraft needs to go through from development to equipping troops to form combat effectiveness? ”

"I know, it needs to go through three test flights, engineering, finalization, and weapon targeting." Yang Luo nodded.

From the development to the finalization of a fighter plane, it is on active duty to take on combat readiness duty and form combat effectiveness, and in China it needs to go through three stages of test flights: engineering test flights, finalized test flights, and weapon target test flights.

The first is an engineering test flight. The new fighter developed in accordance with the design ideas put forward by the military must first be verified for its first flight after the production is completed at the manufacturing plant. This is generally carried out on the runway of the manufacturing plant to verify the basic safety and operability of the aircraft, and to ensure that the aircraft can fly safely to the test base where the final test flight is carried out on its own.

In this first test flight, the fighter will be modified according to the problems and defects found in the first flight and the opinions of the military, and the fighter will be repeatedly tested for flight tests.

This process is relatively long, the interval is also long, only after all aspects meet the standards, the fighter will rush to the special flight test research unit, that is, the test flight institute for finalized test flight, and this also means that a new type of fighter from the verification aircraft into the engineering development stage

The second is the finalized test flight. This stage is completed in the test flight institute, and this stage is the test flight stage with the most risk, the longest time and the most subjects.

At this stage, from the basic flight performance of the aircraft to the marginal subjects, from the avionics system to the airborne weapons, all are comprehensively tested according to the test flight syllabus, of which avionics and airborne weapons test flights account for 60 to 70 of the total number of test flights.

The third is the target test flight of weapons. After the finalized test flight is completed, it does not mean that the troops can be equipped, and before the troops are formally equipped, it is necessary to conduct a test flight of combat effectiveness.

For example, in the battlefield environment, various weapons are launched, target shooting tests, and so on are carried out to verify the actual effectiveness of the weapon system, but this stage is often completed by the troops that are about to receive the new aircraft, and the test must be completed in accordance with the prescribed subjects in the program for the combat use of the new aircraft, and only after this hurdle can the new fighter be regarded as officially entering service with the troops.

Of the three stages of the test flight, only the second was completed in the test flight institute.

"This test flight is a supplement to the second phase of the finalized test flight, maybe it is my distraction, I always think that the performance of the J-10C will be better." Master Wang smiled, "You don't have to have a psychological burden, it's best to be able to fly with better performance, and I don't blame you for not being able to fly, I can only blame me for being too greedy." ”

In fact, the J-10C has gone through all the processes and has been officially installed in the troops, and the last weapon target test flight is not known to Yang Luo in which unit it was completed, because the 122nd Regiment is not the first unit to be equipped with J-10C.

"Master Wang, I don't know if I can fly with better performance, but I will definitely go all out." Yang Luoli stood up and said with a serious face.

"Yes, let's go and get dressed up first." Chief Master Wang said, suddenly remembered something, and said, "According to the regulations, test pilots need to leave a suicide note before taking off for test flights, have you written it well?" ”

Yang Luo shook his head and said, "Chief Master, I don't need it, I believe I can come back safely." ”

"It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not, it's a rule. No one knows what will happen when they go up, and leave a suicide note just in case. Some test pilots have gone up hundreds of times without any problems, but they still follow the rule because they don't know if they will be able to safely return to the ground next time. Master Wang said solemnly, "If you haven't written it well, write it for me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to allow you to go up." ”

"Chief Master, I'll write it now, okay." Yang Luo had no choice but to say.

The man in his thirties took out a pile of white paper and a signature pen from his briefcase and handed them to Yang Luo.

"Thank you."

After Yang Luo thanked him, he lay on the table and started to write an unlucky suicide note.

Almost the vast majority of people in the world will not write a suicide note in their lifetime, and only a small number of people will write a suicide note before their death to arrange their afterlife.

But in the army, there are still many opportunities to write a suicide note, no matter what kind of troops, once they carry out a more dangerous mission, they must leave a suicide note first.

Just like Yang Luo now, he must leave a suicide note, otherwise he is not allowed to perform the task.
