Chapter 101 Test Flight of the New Aircraft The Persian Empire sharpens its knives

Hearing Zhang Zhimu praise the plane, Li Yunhe also showed a smile on his face, and said proudly: "Mr. Zhang, take a look inside the cockpit!" ”

Seeing Zhang Zhimu and Li Yunhe coming, the onlookers greeted them. Zhang Zhimu climbed the ladder, shook hands with the pilot in the cockpit, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, the previous plane and the current plane cannot be compared." As he spoke, the pilot pointed to the inside of the cockpit and said, "Look, these instruments in there." I couldn't have thought of it before. This has an altimeter, a fuel gauge, a speedometer, a navigator, a radio. This monitor can now display these parameters, for the sake of reliability, these tables are still there for the time being, otherwise, this monitor, can display the data. By the way, this monitor can also display the front and rear pitch, left and right cut tilt angles, which can be displayed graphically, and it is much easier to take off and land with it! ”

The pilots were overwhelmed with the aircraft's satisfaction.

Li Yunhe also climbed over with a ladder and said, "Mr. Zhang, you see, our pilots' costumes are also specially developed. The higher they go in the sky, the colder it gets, and they can't do without warm clothing. ”

Zhang Zhimu touched the pilot's costume and said, "No matter how thick it is, it can't be." You're also going to have to develop a flight suit that can be heated by electricity. Pilots will fly longer and longer hours in the future, and they will have to have heated clothing. Also, the higher the plane flies, the more oxygen it carries. No matter how high the plane flies, it has to use a closed pressurized cockpit! ”

"It's easy to heat up the costumes, and we're pretty much done with oxygenated mask respirators." Li Yunhe said, "However, it is not easy to build a pressurized closed cockpit. It's not just the cockpit, it's all about the stuff that has to be changed! Even the incoming and outgoing signal lines had to be changed. ”

"Yes! The enclosed cockpit signal line has to go in and out through a special plug! Cockpit tightness is not easy! Zhang Zhimu said, "Let's talk about this matter next!" Our future airliners are more demanding of this, and in short, we have a lot more to do! Now when will this plane take off! ”

The pilot said, "I wanted to fly today." But when we were running, we noticed something wrong. They're doing it! ”

Li Yunhe said: "I just asked, it is the circuit of the instrument that has a bad contact. They've got it done, now you can try it again! Then he said to Zhang Zhimu, "Let's go down!" Let them try again! ”

Zhang Zhimu and Li Yunhe came to the ground, and Zhang Zhimu said: "How can there be bad contact? It shouldn't be! ”

"It shouldn't be! The fitting inserts we use are carefully selected. Li Yunhe replied, "However, there is still no way to avoid it!" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In the future, aviation as an independent industry, everything must have aviation standards, even screws, connectors, and switches must have aviation standards, which must be specially manufactured and inspected. In this way, the quality can be guaranteed and the aircraft will not have problems in the sky. You must not pick from civilian goods. ”

"Good! I'll arrange this when I get back! It really won't work if you don't do that! This is the ground found the problem, if you go to the sky and find it again, what will happen? ”

Seeing that Li Yunhe realized the seriousness of this problem, Zhang Zhimu didn't speak.

At this time, a flight attendant moved the propeller blades in front of the plane, and the plane roared out a puff of smoke, and then started with a boom. Driven by the propeller, the plane slowly turned its head, taxied to the runway, and taxied along the runway. The plane will move the flaps and the tail rudder at the same time. Finally, he accelerated a little, lifted the rear wheel up and down again.

The plane spun around and returned to where it started. The pilot opened the cockpit canopy and asked Li Yunhe: "Head!" It's all right, shall I fly? ”

Li Yunhe waved his hand and said, "Wait! He walked over and muttered to the technicians who had been following the plane for a while. came back and said to Zhang Zhimu, "They all think they can fly!" Let's try? ”

"Huh! You have the final say on this matter, I'm just watching the fun! Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's good! Now it's time for test flights! Li Yunhe said.

At this time, several movie cameras also pointed their lenses at the plane. The crew helped the pilot close the canopy. Coming down to remove the ladder, the driver communicated with the tower. At the end of the runway, the plane flew lightly off the ground, and the pilot quickly pulled the plane up, then turned around, and circled at a low altitude at the airport. The pilot kept going over the radio and said, "Great! This plane is so obedient! That's great! ”

After a while, the plane accelerated and flew higher into the air! After circling the airfield two more times at high altitude, the pilot requested a landing from the tower.

The plane went along the runway again, turned around again, and landed smoothly on the runway.

All the people at the airport flocked to the plane that had just landed.

Li Yunhe scolded with a smile: "Damn! A bunch of unruly guys, I don't care about it! ”

Over there, the pilot was lifted up as soon as he got off the plane. After putting down the pilot, everyone hugged him and came to Zhang Zhimu and Li Yunhe.

Zhang Zhimu understands them, they have been working day and night for more than two years for this plane, experienced all kinds of failures, ups and downs, and endured all the tastes, and today finally sent the plane to the sky, and their excitement is difficult to describe with the word happy.

Zhang Zhimu said to them excitedly: "Everyone! You have made unimaginable hardships and efforts to achieve today's success! I also know that in the past two years, many people have almost lived in the workshop and can't take care of their families. However, I would like to say that the successful test flight of the aircraft today is the best reward for your efforts! Today's successful test flight of this aircraft is not only a breakthrough in our Yaogang aviation technology, but also a breakthrough for our human beings! I want to thank you and congratulate you! ”

After the following round of applause, Zhang Zhimu saw that everyone's eyes were full of tears. He also said: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet at the Yaogang Hotel to celebrate everyone!" ”

"Oh!" There was a jubilant sound below. They didn't expect Zhang Zhimu to hold a banquet to celebrate them in such a high-end place as Yaogang, of course they were happy.

On the way back, Li Yunhe said: "Mr. Zhang, you are so generous, invite so many people in the Yaogang Hotel!" ”

"They deserve this result! If there were more advanced places, I would invite them to more advanced places! ”

"The joint-stock Yaogang Hotel is no worse than the Yaogang Hotel, but the reputation is not as good as our Yaogang Hotel!" Li Yunhe said, "I heard that their benefits are also good! A lot of foreign merchants live there. The emperor lives in the Yaogang Hotel, and it is not very convenient for outsiders! ”

"The emperor's palace has been built, but the emperor is a little reluctant to leave the Yaogang Hotel, so let the emperor stay for a few more days! A few days later, I personally asked the emperor to move the palace. We should also prepare for the Yaogang Hotel, and the National People's Congress will open after the New Year, and the Yaogang Hotel is the main force of reception. Zhang Zhimu said, "Hey! Why didn't Li Wei come over today! ”

"Huh! Li Wei is now on the Baotou side almost all the year round, and their artillery shooting range is on the Baotou side! I can't hear the sound of cannons, and Li Weijue can't sleep well! Li Yunhe said with a smile.

"I told Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang Hong that if I want to set up an artillery academy, I think I will build the artillery academy in Baotou, they are close to the shooting range!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"I'll see it!" Li Yunhe said, "The people here in Yaogang are too dense. Especially when the subway is being repaired this year, the trams and cars are jammed! ”

"In the future, big factories can't be built here in Yaogang!" Zhang Zhimu said, "And ah! We've already drilled oil out there in Dongying. I think let's build a large oil refinery in Dongying! ”

"That's fine!" Li Yunhe said, "The railway in Kaifeng is about to be repaired there, but everything in Dongying has to start again." Including the construction of power plants. ”

"Then start again, we will build a petrochemical city in Dongying, which can drive the surrounding places! This must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, our automobile production is getting bigger and bigger, and there is simply not enough oil in one factory on the other side of the smelting plant. ”

"No, it's the refinery's output that's increased a lot. Otherwise, it will not be enough! Li Yunhe said, "Our Taiyuan Automobile Factory, the car production line has not yet been put into production, if it is put into production, there are more and more cars, and gasoline will be more tight." ”

"Steel, electricity, and oil must go first, otherwise it will restrict our development." Zhang Zhimu said.

The car drove directly to the command center, and at the celebration banquet tonight, Zhang Zhimu wanted to invite Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He to participate.

Hearing that the plane was successfully tested today, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were very happy. In particular, Ouyang He immediately asked Li Yunhe: "Yunhe, when will your aircraft be able to be produced in large quantities?" ”

"Huh! Mr. Ouyang, this matter is not urgent. We just flew the plane today, and there are still a lot of subjects that have not yet been flown yet! For example, the maximum altitude of the aircraft, the maximum speed, and so on have not been tried. ”

"How can the current plane be so complicated than the original?" Ouyang He asked puzzled.

"What is an airplane now!" Li Yunhe said proudly, "Our current plane is estimated to be able to fly seven or eight thousand meters high!" The speed is estimated to reach three or four hundred kilometers per hour, and it can fly a thousand kilometers with the auxiliary fuel tank, can the original aircraft be compared? ”

Chen Yufeng listened to Li Yunhe's words and was also attracted, "Little rabbit, is what you said true?" ”

"Oops! Our best technicians in the kiln gang have been working day and night for more than two years, is it a joke? Li Yunhe replied.

"Can I seat two people on this plane?" Ouyang He asked.

"This one isn't!" "The plane we are assembling is for two people. The two aircraft engines are not the same. Today the fly with an engine of nearly 900 horsepower. The two-seater aircraft now assembled are powered by 1,200 horsepower engines. We are also working on a fifteen-hundred-horsepower engine. A two-seater aircraft with drop fuel tanks can also fly more than a thousand kilometers! ”

"Hurry up the test flight, and organize production as soon as it is done. We want to build a real air force. Ouyang He said.

"Now you can organize the materials and prepare them for production. Li Wei: They have already recruited a lot of pilots. Just waiting for the plane! It can be seen that Chen Yufeng is also full of expectations for the Air Force.

Ouyang He said: "After the completion of this kind of aircraft, we should immediately step up the development of a twin-engine aircraft. The double-haired ones should be able to sit a few more people! ”

"Good! I'm going to hurry! Li Yunhe hurriedly said.

In addition, Shi Tao and his team are constantly expanding, and they are building weather stations all over the country, including overseas. If we want to develop aviation, we must have weather stations all over the country. This is a necessary condition for ensuring aviation safety! Zhang Zhimu said, "Shi Tao and Mr. Lu Bingyi proposed together to build a meteorological center. I agreed. Whether it's navigation or aviation, meteorology is a big deal. I also want to set up a meteorology major in Yaogang College to train talents in meteorology! ”

Li Yunhe said: "If we engage in civil aviation, as Zhang Zhimu said, we will have to build many airports and alternate landing airports. ”

"Build what should be built!" Ouyang He said, "I'm looking forward to this day." If only the plane could fly, I would really want to go to the front line! ”

"Yes! It's really unsteady to sit at home and command! Chen Yufeng also felt the same way, "When you go to the front line and smell the air there, the smell is different!" ”

"There's no need to rush!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Once this kind of aircraft is put into production, Yunhe and his people will immediately concentrate on developing twin-engine aircraft." Yunhe also said that it won't take two years to get a twin-engine plane! ”

"Good! I can see hope! Ouyang He said.

The staff officer brought tea and everyone drank tea for a while. Chen Yufeng looked at Li Yunhe and said, "It just so happens that Yunhe is here, I have something to talk to you about." Mu Yi and them were in Japan, Jiang Zhu was in the Ural Mountains, and Qin Peng was in the south, and they all used tracked artillery tractors as artillery trucks to charge, which shows that tracked vehicles are still very useful on the battlefield. Can you produce a little more tracked armored vehicles? ”

"Yes! We can now produce alloy aluminum in large quantities, and armored vehicles can be mass-produced at all. Li Yunhe said.

Ouyang He said: "The kind of four-wheel drive car should also be produced more. Four-wheel drive cars work very well when the roads are bad! ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Tracked vehicles are very practical to travel on complex roads. However, the mobility of tracked vehicles is still poor. I suggest that Yunhe you should develop a six-wheel drive armored vehicle, the six-wheeled vehicle has better off-road ability, and he is almost invincible in the face of an opponent without heavy weapons. The speed and maneuverability of wheeled vehicles cannot be compared with that of tracked vehicles. ”

"Six-wheel drive? Like a six-wheeled wagon? Li Yunhe didn't understand what Zhang Zhimu meant.

"Hey! Six wheels are two wheels in the front, two wheels in the back, and two wheels in the middle! All six wheels can be directly driven. In this way, almost all roads can be passed. Such wheeled armored vehicles are more suitable for our army! Zhang Zhimu explained.

Li Yunhe said to Zhang Zhimu: "You should take the time to tell them about the six-wheel drive!" It's something new! ”

"Huh! Actually, I can't say more, let's let the guys who are engaged in four-wheel drive study it! Zhang Zhimu really can't say too much about this. At most, it looks superficial from the TV.

"Actually, we have another very important thing, that is, whether it is these artillery, artillery trucks, etc., how to rationally allocate these technical equipment in our army should be carefully studied. We gave Zhou Yuji the most heavy equipment in the north, but as a result, I didn't expect the Mongols to be so unbeaten. Basically, it didn't work. Chen Yufeng said.

"I can't say that, I think it's because Zhou Yuji and they have so much heavy equipment that the Mongols are so unbeatable." Zhang Zhimu said, "However, our artillery trucks and four-wheel drive cars, as well as our transportation cars, have all been tested in cold areas, which means that they are still passable!" As for the future allocation of military equipment, I would like you to come up with an opinion. It's a good idea to ask for their advice as well. When the roads to our west are all repaired, we will give them more cars, gun trucks, power cars, and six-wheel drive vehicles to be developed in the future, so that we don't have to station so many troops in the west! In the long run, we must implement the path of elite soldiers. If the garrison is properly moved back, one garrison can guard a wider boundary. ”

"Mr. Zhang, there is one thing we need to pay attention to. Now we have to face the Persians in the west, and Li Zicheng in the south will immediately make a move against Siam, and Qin Peng and they will prepare to march to the Mughal Empire as well. Zhang Xianzhong was on the side of Wusizang, and the progress was not smooth. There are battles in several places, although we are not afraid. However, the situation of fighting on all sides must be brought to an end as soon as possible. Otherwise, once something happens, we are easy to be passive! Ouyang He reminded.

"According to Li Zicheng's strength, they should be able to solve the Siam matter next spring. Qin Peng: The initiative is also in our hands. I just don't know if the Persian Empire can listen to what the Ottoman Sultan brought me? And then there is Zhang Xianzhong and their side, can the progress be faster! No, let Zhao Jinli send troops to support Zhang Xianzhong and them. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Alas! Lao Zhang has suffered a lot! Chen Yufeng said, "Not only can they not stand it on the plateau! Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of the Wusi Tibetan soldiers was no worse than that of the Mongols. The most important thing is that the Wusi Tibetan soldiers adapt to the plateau, which Zhang Xianzhong can't compare. ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't understand this, in his previous life, the People's Liberation Army fought the Tibetan army like a play. Why is the current Uszang army so good at fighting? Come to think of it, they are also strong opponents in battle with the Tang Dynasty and the Mongols, which shows that they are not given for nothing.

Ouyang He said: "However, Zhang Xianzhong and they have been on the plateau for more than a year, and little by little, now the officers and soldiers have slowly adapted to the plateau. The main thing is that they are the first to open the road, and where the road goes, their brigade of men and horses will march to where. This strategy is right! Otherwise, it would be untenable for them to rush in. ”

"Alas! This kind of play, Zhang Xianzhong definitely can't stand it! It's just that they can't fight with God! It is not easy for Zhao Jinli to provide them with logistical guarantees, western Sichuan has just been pacified, and Li Zicheng is also an army of hundreds of thousands. It's enough for Zhao Jinli to choke! Chen Yufeng said.

"It's okay for Uszang to fight later!" Zhang Zhimu said, "When Qin Peng and they settle the matter of the border between the Mughal Empire, Usizang and the Mughal Empire, it will be easy to say!" And the Green Ridge side and the border of the Mughal Empire are easy to handle! Zhang Zhimu felt that after defeating the Mughal Empire, he should draw the places called Afghanistan in his previous life, as well as some places in Pakistan.

At this time, Zhang Zhimu and the others didn't know that the Persian Empire would not let the army west of Yaogang annex Yuejibei, so it advanced in front of them. In a bloody battle, the kiln people couldn't hide from it!
