Phoenix Mountain, located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, is a peculiar shape of the hill, north-south direction, composed of two mountains that look at each other, from a distance like a phoenix that spreads its wings in spring, and looks forward to it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As a group of soldiers and workers drove into the depression in the southeast of Phoenix Mountain, surrounded by barbed wire fences, and leveled the land, it was soon built into an improvised airfield. Since the Aircraft Research Institute and the Chengdu Aircraft Factory are still under intense construction, the entire R&D group and aviation team can only be temporarily stationed here.

At this time, next to a flat simple dirt runway, Xiao Mubai was looking at the 5-meter-long and 2-meter-high "Camel" biplane on the runway, which resembled the famous "Camel" biplane during World War I in parallel time and space, and was a little surprised in his heart. I remember that it was only a little more than a month since he gave the relevant information to the Aircraft Research Institute, and I didn't expect them to come up with samples so quickly. It seems that he still underestimated the Chinese technicians of this era.

Qin Guoliang, a talented returned expert, worked tirelessly after getting the information. In a month's time, he led everyone to work day and night and took out a sample. You must know that this is not just a racing aircraft with only 80 horsepower and assembled with a large amount of canvas and steel wire among the European and American powers, but a fighter in the true sense.

The aircraft is a single-seat biplane fighter with an engine power of 150 hp, a maximum flight speed of 195 km/h, and a ceiling of 5,800 meters. Two machine guns were installed in parallel on the upper surface of the upper wing of the aircraft, and a firing coordinator was adopted. Four to five 11-kilogram bombs can be attached under the belly of the aircraft for attacking the ground.

Upon learning the news of the successful trial production of the aircraft, Xiao Mubai specially rushed over from Chongqing overnight, and in order to mention the military's importance to aviation and even lay the foundation for the future air force, he even invited a group of high-level military officials such as Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen to watch the test flight. Not only that, but even people from the political circles such as Zhao Mingchuan also came.

The arrival of so many military and political officials has made these overseas Chinese children from all over Europe and the United States even more energetic and eager to perform well.

"Can you test the flight and see!"

"Of course you can, we have been building this plane for seven or eight days, and we have also gone through several test flights before and after, and there have been no problems!" Qin Guoliang replied to Xiao Mubai, and it could be seen that his face was full of excitement and pride.

It didn't take long for the plane to rumble as the pilot got into the cabin, and the two-bladed propeller spun rapidly, quickly turning into a virtual shadow, and the biplane, which had been taxiing on the runway for a while, gradually lifted its nose off the ground with a slam of its nose. Seeing Xiao Mubai after the plane took off, he finally showed a satisfied expression on his face. At this time, Cai Yi, Jiang Fangzhen and others, who came with Xiao Mubai, began to be dumbfounded.

Airplanes, Jiang Fangzhen had heard of them when he was in Germany, but after seeing the real thing, he also felt that it was like that. But now, after seeing his own airplane soaring in the sky round and round, he felt different, and a picture of the airplane being used on the battlefield immediately appeared in his mind.

No matter what Jiang Fangzhen was thinking in his heart, but for Xiao Mubai, on the whole, he was quite satisfied with this aircraft, and the performance and other aspects were quite okay.

"Baili, the prospects for the development of the aviation industry are undoubtedly huge. Let's see, after you go back, if you can pick some good faces from the various units and form an aviation unit that will be under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff. Do some training and pilot training in the early stage so that the scale can be expanded in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll organize people to be responsible for the preparation after I go back." Obviously, Jiang Baili's insight is naturally extraordinary, and he is also aware of the important role of aircraft in future wars, and he seems to be very supportive of Xiao Mubai's opinion.

"It's just that if it is directly formed, can the relevant pilots, mechanics, logistics and other technical personnel keep up?" Soon, Jiang Baili thought of an important question.

"You're right, it seems that it is necessary for us to set up a dedicated aviation school for the training of pilots and related technicians." Xiao Mubai frowned, and suddenly a wry smile broke out in his heart, and at this time he remembered another important question, that is, the indispensable thing needed for the engine to turn, gasoline.

Thinking that in the future, there will be thousands of planes and tanks to drink gas non-stop, Xiao Mubai has an incomparably headache. To say that he has the memory of later generations, has a lot of information in his hands, and has oil in that corner of this world, I believe that in this era, no one understands it better than him.

He knows a lot of oil fields in the world, the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East, Baku and Tyumen, Africa, and the two super oil fields of Saudi Arabia Ghawar and Safania, but the Middle East is now the territory of the British Empire, Baku and Tyumen are also the territory of the Russians, and as for the Indonesian Dutch Oil Company, it now also has an owner. The world is full of colonies of great powers, but it is a pity that his strength is too small now, and he is not qualified to compete with these imperialist bigwigs in the world for interests and wrestle.

It is impossible abroad, so you can only consider it domestically. In fact, there are many oil fields in China, Daqing, Yumen, Tarim and Yanchang, but Daqing and Tarim do not need to be considered at present, the former oil layer is thousands of meters deep, and the latter is simply in the desert, which can not be exploited by current technology and transportation means. Yanchang and Yumen are very good, but they are in Shaanxi and Gansu, both of which are not their own territory now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mubai felt that it was necessary to control these two provinces as soon as possible, so as to put the construction of oil refineries and oil mines on the agenda as soon as possible.

"General Secretary, what's wrong? It's the best aircraft in the world today. The attentive Qin Guoliang saw Xiao Mubai frowning, and thought that he was not satisfied with the plane.

Xiao Mubai shook his head again and again: "The plane is very good, I'm just thinking about when we will be able to produce our own gasoline." ”

"By the way, General Secretary Xiao, our plane doesn't have a name yet!" For this problem, Qin Guoliang really can't help much, and he has a specialization in the art industry. He is engaged in aircraft technology, not geology.

"Let's call it 'Jianyi'!" Xiao Mubai said without thinking.

Before leaving, Xiao Mubai encouraged the pilots and mechanics a little, stuffed a bag of information to Qin Guoliang, and said a few words before turning around and leaving the temporary airport with Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and others.

After Xiao Mubai left, Qin Guoliang flipped through the information in the file bag with a puzzled face, and soon his surprised voice spread. The more he looked at the photographs, the more incredible he felt! Star engines, in-line engines, 250 horsepower planes that can fly up to 6,000 meters high, as well as aviation machine guns and bombs, etc., is simply a treasure trove of flight! God, he won't move back all the top-secret aviation databases of Britain, Germany, France and other countries, right?

In fact, this is simply Xiao Mubai's fooling of people, since the last time he has been worried about copying drawings, and occasionally thought of the later generations when he always saw the agent taking a camera to shoot a movie with data, and his heart suddenly remembered the miniature camera technology, and immediately purchased three miniature cameras and a large number of films, and then used the method of remaking to copy the drawings and technical data exchanged from the data machine.

Although it is a black-and-white photograph, the handwriting and drawings are quite clear, but in order not to be shocking to the world, and considering the actual ability, all the materials taken out are all kinds of technical drawings that appeared up to the end of the First World War, and their main purpose is to lay a good foundation for aviation rather than to pull out seedlings and promote growth. He knew that a good engine could make a good aircraft, so he emphatically warned Qin Guoliang not to rush for quick success, but to solve the engine first steadily.

After that, the Chengdu Aircraft Research Institute was rooted in this small and simple aircraft shed under the leadership of Qin Guoliang. According to the plan, the aeronautical research institute will be divided into four research groups, and at least three aeronautical wind tunnel laboratories will also be built. At the same time, he studied star engines, in-line engines, aerodynamics and mechanical control technology.
