In the capital, on top of a vacant lot on the outskirts. It's heavily guarded, especially since it's very secretive, with a regiment of troops guarding here. And this is the mysterious 51st area in the army archives. And this fifty-one district has now been relocated to the capital, since Wang Guorui was called emperor and emperor, he has gradually moved those Taiwanese capital institutions to the capital, so that he can better control. And the same is true of this 51st District, the core of which is the Red Police Base, which has been transferred to the capital. And the second layer, that is, some important secret research institutes, and in this second level, many officials have been ushered in today, and even Wang Guorui has come here, so it is quite nervous to hold this position.

"Your Majesty, according to your suggestion, we have finally achieved results in the past two years. We have finally experimented with it, please come and take a look! A man with a grease face said.

And if you don't know, you will definitely think that this person with a greasy face will be a certain worker, but no one thought that he would be a mechanical international student studying in the United States, studying mechanical design. And for the past two years he has been the commander-in-chief of a mysterious project, and now it has finally been completed.

"Your Majesty, the Kunpeng plan is close to completion, and now the design of our last version of the Kunpeng aircraft has begun to be completed, please ask the emperor to accept it!" The chief designer Fu Tiandi said.

The so-called Kunpeng plan is actually a code name for a plan to develop aviation. This Kunpeng is a large bird in ancient Chinese mythology, a large bird that can soar in the sky. The reason why Kunpeng is used as the code name for this development aircraft is also a very important factor. And the research and development of this aircraft is a very important project, and it cannot be developed casually. And it took two years to develop this aircraft. And this is still the case of concentrating some of the government's resources. One can imagine how difficult it is to develop an aircraft.

Wang Guorui saw this biplane, and then he also smiled. He had been waiting for this plane for two years, and he had been waiting for this plane for two years, that is, the vulture had finally waited for this plane. Previously, because there were no planes, the red alert system had not been able to get the air force headquarters. And now with this plane, the Air Force command should be able to come up with it by then. In the future, the Air Force will be one of the most important branches of the armed forces. If there was no air force, the war would not have known how it would have developed. In the future, the status of the Air Force will even be higher than that of the Army, because air strikes will become more and more important in the future, so the Air Force will be dependent on the Navy and Army from the beginning, and will since then become an independent branch of the armed forces.

"What's wrong with this Kunpeng plane?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Of course, this is the last model we tested, and we should be able to succeed. And this time we're in the process of researching. I've encountered a lot of difficulties! Fu Tiandi said.

Wang Guorui asked, "What difficulties did you encounter?" ”

"First of all, the engine, the reliability of the engine is too poor. Our engine is easy to stop in the air, we use diesel engine as the engine, and once the engine is in the complex environment in the air, once stopped, it is fatal to the pilot. And we let the engine R&D department come up with a qualified engine as soon as possible, otherwise we simply have no way to proceed. Of course. Neither of us is putting all the blame on the engine department, and we are all thinking about how to ensure the safety of our pilots. We later tried a scheme that used a double shot. That is, with two engines, even if one engine breaks, there can be another engine to ensure operation. Because according to statistical probability, there are very few cases where two engines break together. So first of all, the safety of the pilots is guaranteed! Fu Tiandi said.

Wang Guorui nodded and said, "That's right, everything is to ensure the safety of the pilot." That's for sure. ”

Wang Guorui knows that the safety of pilots should be the first priority, because the value of pilots is much more expensive than airplanes. You must know that in later generations, many countries would rather lose a plane than lose a pilot, once the plane is in the air, what danger is there. Generally, the first step is to persuade the pilot to parachute. Of course, if it's a test pilot, then it depends on the situation separately.

And the value of pilots is immeasurable, because training a pilot from childhood to adulthood costs a lot of resources. In addition, from the time he entered the flight school to study, the training of a fighter pilot, according to the statistics of later generations, the price of training a fighter pilot is almost equal to the price of gold equal to his body weight. The cost of training a pilot is often tens of millions, and the time cost is definitely not low. In many cases, in addition to the cost of resources, there is also a time cost to fight a war.

The death of a pilot means that the time cost of the pilot from childhood to adulthood for more than ten or twenty years has also been wasted. Although it may seem expensive to build an airplane, it actually costs a lot less time. If it were in wartime, working overtime with all its might, it might be possible to make many planes in a day. However, pilots cannot be trained without more than ten or twenty years of continuous investment. Moreover, even if you are willing to spend money, it is impossible to easily train a pilot. Even if you're willing to spend money, can time be smashed with money? Money alone can't afford time, so this time cost is fatal in the course of the war.

In war, the production of aircraft is not an important thing, the number of pilots is the reason for the strength of the air force. As long as the country wants to, it can enter a state of war at any time and produce aircraft at full capacity. However, pilots cannot be increased quickly, and the training process is very long. The cost of time is also extremely huge, so they will definitely not be able to fight effectively. At that time, the training time cost of pilots was also extremely faithful.

So it's better to destroy a plane than to die a pilot. This is not only humane, but also saves money for the country. The value of this pilot is much higher than that of an airplane, especially in terms of time cost, and it is heart-wrenching to die. Even Wang Guorui heard that why did the Japanese lose in World War II later? In addition to the so-called resource reasons, there is also a reason for the pilots. The number of pilots in Japan is small, and one of them dies is one less. In the later period, Japanese pilots simply used those pilots who had only studied for a month or two, or even only a week or two, to let them go to the sky, and finally adopted the method of "kamikaze" with the same fate. Of course, Wang Guorui also thinks that if the Japanese have a way, they will not adopt this method.

It's not that the Japanese don't really value pilots, but they do. In particular, there was a Japanese pilot who was captured and educated by our party and used anti-war propaganda after returning home. If it were in the ordinary army, it would definitely be shot ten times. But not only was the pilot not shot, but he was transferred to another battlefield, and he was not even court-martialed. As you can imagine, the Japanese also attach great importance to pilots, and it is clear that pilots are an asset of every country. There was a very important reason why Japan lost to the United States in World War II, that is, the lack of pilot reserves.

"You have done a good job, in the future, when we develop weapons, we should consider people-oriented. Your twin-engine method is a good way to do it, and it will definitely stand the test of history! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui knows that this twin-engine method is also very popular in later generations, whether it is military or civilian, it is common to use twin engines, and even some have three or four engines. And this is also for insurance, to minimize the damage to the pilot and passengers on the plane. And this came to mind so quickly to adopt a dual-engine approach to ensure safety, and did not completely rely on the improvement of the diesel engine, which is good. After all, in fact, many times, technology will never keep up with the need. Once a problem is encountered, then the responsibility is completely shifted to the technical research and development personnel, which is also not right.

Designers also have a responsibility and a responsibility to find ways to make the best with relatively imperfect technology. If everything depends on the technical R & D personnel to be responsible, and all the responsibilities are pushed to them, then even if the technical R & D personnel are immortals, they can't do it! No amount of scientific research can ever keep up with the speed that human beings need, and all that human beings can do is survival of the fittest, and they can use the technology they can achieve their own goals. This is a test of wisdom, otherwise it will depend on more advanced technology, and human beings will not be able to be truly independent in the end.

"Of course, the emperor, and later the diesel engine research and development unit also developed a better diesel engine, which allowed us to better improve. And our plane is about to take off, please review it with the emperor! Fu Tiandi said.

"Okay, I'll review it right away!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, one of the pilots went through the ladder and successfully sat in the cockpit of the plane. Then I stepped on the accelerator, and the major propellers of the plane began to rotate rapidly, and soon the plane began to run to the beginning of movement, and then quickly flew up from the runway and successfully lifted off.

Many people around also made a stunned look, because this actually took off? It really took off, and humans were really able to take it into the air? (To be continued.) )
