During the two days when the material collection team was resting, the Data Records Section of the CMCHM began to collect information from the Hong Kong Banknote Printing Factory. Hong Kong Note Printing Limited (English: Hong Kong Note Printing Limited) is a public body in Hong Kong responsible for printing Hong Kong and Macau banknotes. The majority shareholder is the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, while other shareholders include China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation and the three note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, Bank of China (Hong Kong), The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Standard Chartered Bank. The factory of Hong Kong Note Printing Co., Ltd. is located in Tai Po Industrial Estate and has an annual production capacity of about 3. 200 million sheets, covering an area of about 7,500 square meters, was formerly a factory established by the British DeLaRue group (DeLaRue) in 1984. In April 1996, the Hong Kong Government purchased the plant with the help of the Exchange Fund and changed its current name.

The factory is located at the intersection of Tai Fat Street and Tai Shing Street in Tai Po Industrial Zone, only two or three hundred meters away from the seaside (Ye Lu Port), which is very conducive to shipping. Before the operation, Nan Ren first asked He Yujie to drive a helicopter to the field to conduct a reconnaissance, and used DV to record the situation in and around the banknote printing factory as a reference for formulating an action plan.

The Little Antelope helicopter has been officially incorporated into the Air Force, and He Yujie's working relationship has also been transferred to the Air Force, with the rank of lieutenant, becoming the first female air force officer. However, considering the special nature of the work of the material collection team, the small antelope is temporarily used by it.

Although the two planes have been transported to a new time and space by car, they have no way to return to the blue sky before the airport is repaired, so Wang Li went to the construction site twice in three days to urge Zhang Anguo, the commander-in-chief of the airport construction.

In the selection of the site of the airport, the Air Force and the Ministry of Construction are considering building on the original site of the original time and space, after all, the airport has very strict requirements for the terrain, at least the terrain must be flat, and there are no mountains around. Hong Kong's old and new airports are both reclaimed from the sea, so they are not on everyone's radar, and the only remaining airports are Shenzhen Airport and the former Shek Kong Barracks Airport in the New Territories. Shenzhen AirportShenzhen Bao'an International Airport covers an area of 11 square kilometers, in accordance with the People's Republic of China first-class civil airport standard planning and design, the flight area level is 4F, the airport implements 24-hour operation service, with runway ( ), taxiway 2 each, for the world's largest passenger and cargo aircraft to take off and land, the total area of the existing passenger and cargo apron is 84. 50,000 square meters, 84 parking stands, and a total area of 14 terminals A and B. 60,000 square meters, with an area of 190,000 square meters of air logistics park, including international and domestic cargo stations, bonded warehouses, distribution warehouses and other facilities, with an annual air cargo processing capacity of 1.15 million tons. As an airport, the geographical conditions are quite good, and it is very close to the base, so it is a good choice. But it has a shortcoming that cannot be said to be a shortcoming, and it is Lingdingyang to the west. Of course, this is nothing in the original time and space, Shenzhen Airport itself is a civilian airport, and the probability of being hit first is not high, and the PLA Navy can fully provide protection for it. In the new time and space, it is too dangerous to build an airfield on the seashore, and the Liberation Army does not have a strong navy at present, and the few existing ships cannot isolate the penetration of the sea at all. And with the development of science and technology, the range of naval guns is getting longer and farther, and the navy is simply unable to provide protection for it, which makes Shenzhen Airport also abandoned.

So the Shek Kong Barracks Airport has become the only choice, but fortunately, the road has been built to Yuen Long, and there is no problem of inconvenient transportation. At the same time that the material collection team began to operate in Hong Kong, the construction of the airport had already begun, and when the two Chujiao 5s were officially incorporated into the Air Force sequence, the Shigang Airport in the new time and space had begun to take shape.

In 1938, in order to strengthen Hong Kong's air defense, the British government decided to build a military airfield in Shek Kong to accommodate the planned three flying squadrons, and the land formation works began immediately. In 1939, as the Japanese army moved south, hundreds of thousands of refugees from China poured into the colony, which had a population of only one million at the time, and the British government found that the "Shigang Airport" under construction was within the range of Japanese artillery, so it stopped construction and converted the area around the airport into a refugee camp. During the Japanese occupation, the airport was used as agricultural land. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, the British government resumed the construction of the "Shigang Airport" for the 28th Squadron of the British Royal Air Force. On 31 March 1978, the RAF completely withdrew from Kai Tak Airport and fully used Shek Kong Airport. In the 80s of the 20th century, Shek Kong Airport and High Island Reservoir and other places were requisitioned by the Hong Kong government as "Vietnamese boat private enterprises", and a number of barracks were built on the airport runway, and the apron was used for racing tracks and small racing tracks, known as "Shek Kong Circuit". In 1992, the "Vietnamese Boat Pilot" was closed, the airport was reopened, and the "Shigang Circuit" was also closed. Zhang Anguo fully borrowed the layout of the original airport in the design, and the runway direction is exactly the same as the original. Because it is a military airport, and the piston planes take off and land, the total length of the runway is only 300 meters, and there is only one. At present, the cement foundation has been laid, and it is completed when another layer of asphalt is laid. Floor lights are laid on both sides of the runway to make it easier for planes to take off and land at night, and loudspeakers are set up around it, knowing that there are far more wild birds at this time than in the 21st century.

On one side of the runway, the terminal, hangar, oil depot, radar station, generator room, as well as supporting dormitories, canteens, bathhouses, and toilets are all being built. When the land was requisitioned for the airport, the Ministry of Construction allocated seven or eight hundred acres of land in the surrounding area, which made the Ministry of Finance pay a lot of money. At present, the construction area is not even one-tenth, and the rest of the place is still overgrown with weeds and barren, but Luo Yuan has already planned for the second and third runways, which will be not only the main base of the Air Force but also the training base for pilots for a long time to come. And more planes will be found in the future, and sooner or later one runway will not be enough.

The outer perimeter of the airport is a trench five meters wide and five meters deep, and two barbed wire fences are inward, which is basically an insurmountable obstacle for the cold weapons troops of this era. Moreover, this is deep in the heart of the former New Territories region, and the possibility of the enemy being able to attack here is very low, and a company of guards is completely sufficient.

Since the arrival of the two planes, it was only twenty minutes of flying during the inspection and transfer, which made Wang Li's heart feel like a cat was scratching. In the past few days, he has come to the construction site early in the morning to check the progress of the project, and he is more punctual than the workers, and then he is urging Zhang Anguo to accelerate, which makes the latter very annoying. Seeing him come to the construction site, he hid far away, and he really couldn't avoid it, so he came up with an idea, from the base to Luohu, there is a section of the road is relatively straight, there is a kilometer, which can be used as a runway for aircraft to take off and land. If he really wants to fly, he can use it as a runway for the time being. It's useless to rush yourself every day, the progress of the project is already the best, and the quality can no longer be guaranteed. Sharpen the knife and cut firewood, and it will take ten days at most for a qualified airport to be used.

After listening to Zhang Anguo's suggestion, Wang Li rushed to the base and asked the traffic department to close the road, but was called back. The highway is now the main transportation artery in the Guangfu area, and it cannot be cut off at will due to the whims of the air force, and there is an endless stream of natives coming and going on this road, which makes it even more difficult to operate. In addition, the terrain on both sides of the highway is complicated, and if an accident occurs, it is a big deal to slide out of the runway at the airport and slide on the grass, and the danger of rushing out of the highway is too great, and the transportation department will not agree to Wang Li's request.

There is no way for Wang Li to wait for another ten days, and then he will have the addiction of flying when the airport is completed, of course, he will not be idle now, but started the aircraft transformation plan with Li Ce and Zhan Huade. The functions of the two aircraft have been determined, first of all, they will be used as their own functions, to train reserve pilots for the Liberation Army Air Force. Wang Li and Li Ce are the only two fixed-wing aircraft pilots in the Liberation Army, and if something happens to them, the Liberation Army Air Force will be doomed, so training reserve pilots has become a top priority for the Air Force. Wang Li selected 10 young people from the volunteer applicants as the first batch of trainees, the average age of these ten people is 19 years old, all have a high school education, and the best health, which ensures that this group of students can be qualified as a qualified pilot regardless of physical fitness and knowledge receptivity. Thinking that the Volunteer Army Air Force could let people with only a primary school education learn to fly jet planes, Wang Li believed that he would have no problem teaching high school students to fly piston planes.

After the trainees enlisted in the army, Wang Li and Li Ce taught them theoretical knowledge and carried out physical training at the same time. The textbook was jointly compiled by the two, Wang Li learned flying in the United States, while Li Ce learned it in China, and the textbook used by the two was very different. In the end, it was Wei Bozhi who mediated, and the two reached a consensus, and on the basis of the existing conditions, they learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses to jointly compile a textbook for junior pilots.

As for the physical training conditions, it is a bit rudimentary. There were no modern instruments and equipment, so the equipment department made some iron roller rings and sent them as equipment for balance training. These students have all played roller coasters, pirate ships, and some have even played bungee jumping, and the iron roller ring is only a small meaning to them.

After recruiting cadets, each patrol flight is no longer two people at the same time, but one of them takes one cadet to fly, so that the cadets can fully adapt to the feeling of flying in the sky. After the new plane came back, the trainees immediately asked Wang Li to let them fly the plane himself as soon as possible, and Wang Li came to urge Luo Yuan every day to instigate them.

Since he couldn't go to the sky, Wang Li had to devote his energy to another thing, that is, to make combat modifications of the plane. With the scientific and technological level of the mid-19th century, even stimulated by the Liberation Army, Western countries are now embarking on the research and development of flying machines, and they do not have 20 years to come up with qualified products. Therefore, for a long time, the Liberation Army did not need fighter aircraft, so the modification idea of the second Chujiao 5 was to use it as an attack aircraft, and at the same time it was necessary to take into account both ground and sea attacks. For this reason, not only members of the Air Force, but also the General Armament Department actively participated in the modification work.

Wang Li had been to the construction site early in the morning, and when he returned to the temporary hangar, he saw a group of people pointing around the plane, and a fully open design sketch was pasted on the display board next to it. He hurriedly walked over, "The design draft came out like this?" ”

On the drawing is a section of the beginner's 6, the various parts of the aircraft are clearly drawn, so that people can see at a glance. Wang Li sighed: "The General Armament Department is capable of many people, and the drawings are the same as those printed out by the computer." ”

"It was originally printed on a computer." Ai Jungang, who is known as the chief weapons designer of the General Armament Department, said with a smile: "This is from the electronic library to find materials and print, if you really want to draw it yourself, you can't get it out in less than a month." ”
