Chapter 495: Test Flight of a New Aircraft
Fu Mingcheng smiled and pointed to the top of his head: "I just heard that the radiation isolation layer of the spacecraft is not too good, if it weren't for the goblin's skin ability, it would be able to prevent radiation, and I am afraid that it would hang up while wearing a spacesuit, but fortunately, with these data, it should allow scientific researchers to obtain enough data, and after further improvement, this problem can be solved." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "These people are really too bold, they only did a test without anyone taking off to the sky and dared to let people go on it, I really don't know how thick the road is." Fang Xiaoyu was secretly frightened in his heart, in the past, which of the countries on the earth did not dare to carry out manned flights after four or five unmanned tests.
Liu Yaqing, who had not spoken, also liked to run to the research institute very much, and at this moment he also said excitedly: "Young master, we really have a lot of new things now, but I don't know if this spaceship can be used for military purposes." ”
Liu Mingzhao glanced at him and said: "You want to hook up everything militarily, and you have a problem with Boss Fu." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Don't say it, this spaceship may really be able to be used in the military in the future, maybe we can form a new military force that surpasses the conventional." ”
Liu Yaqing, who has been transferred to the newly formed Strategic Rocket Force of the Iron and Blood Army, and Liu Yaqing, who is the commander, said excitedly: "The satellites and spaceships launched by this rocket, young master, are similar to our ballistic missiles, and they will all be added to our strategic rocket force in the future." ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled dumbly and said, "Why do you want to pull any new guy into your hands, but this time you don't think about it, I am going to establish a new Heavenly Army unit." Last time, you grabbed the title of commander of the Strategic Rocket Force, and I am ready to hand over the title of commander of the Celestial Army to Xu Xiangnan. ”
Fu Mingcheng scratched his head and said: "Young master, this Liu Yaqing went to the Strategic Rocket Force, Peng Dechao became the commander of the Navy, and now Xu Xiangnan is the commander of the Heavenly Army. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "There are too many branches of the army, it is indeed a bit chaotic, so let's set up a joint command of the Iron and Blood Army like in China, with a staff headquarters under it." Fu Mingcheng, you have been promoted to marshal and are responsible for the full management of the Iron and Blood Army, Liu Mingzhao has been promoted to commander of the army, Deng Hua has been promoted to chief of the general staff, plus naval commander Peng Dechao, air force commander Aier, commander of the Strategic Rocket Force Liu Yaqing, commander of the Sky Army Xu Xiangnan, the seven of you form a joint command center, find more staff officers to assist you, and first set up the shelves of the staff headquarters. ”
"Yes, young master." The bosses of the Predator Army excitedly agreed.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Do a good job, the Iron Blood Army is my closest descendant force, and it is also the backbone of the China Foundation, I will not treat you badly." You can handle the new troop integration issue yourself, I will go back to the palace for dinner first, and if there is any latest situation, contact me by satellite communication. ”
Fu Mingcheng and the others immediately stood up and said, "Young Master, go slowly." ”
Fang Xiaoyu walked out of the side hall for teleportation and stretched: "It's still tiring to live this day, how good it would be to find a time to take a vacation." ”
Queen Xia Tingwei, who had been waiting here for a long time, walked up with a smile and said: "Only you are the most idle every day, and you are embarrassed to say that you are on vacation, if you want to take a holiday, then Premier Hua is not without a way to live." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's right, I really don't know what those emperors in ancient times thought about it, they always did it themselves, not only tired themselves to death, but also inefficient." You see how good I am, I am relaxed, everything is managed by a special person, the efficiency is so high, and the country is governed so well. ”
Xia Tingwei smiled: "Yes, yes." My husband is the smartest, if it weren't for you coming up with these ideas of separation of powers to make them restrain each other, and there are so many good brothers who are dead set on you to help you, would you be so idle? ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Your husband and I are of course the smartest, I have been laying out since I was ten years old, so I have the current situation, as for those old brothers, it is not bad, who of them is not in a prominent position now, and they hold a lot of power." ”
Xia Tingwei stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Okay, let's brag again when we have time, the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and Elena are still waiting, let's go to dinner first." Surrounded by a group of palace maids, Fang Xiaoyu and Xia Tingwei were affectionately together and walked towards the apse.
Although Fang Xiaoyu didn't participate in government affairs much, he couldn't be idle at all, and after lunch, he drove dozens of miles to Yanliang Airport outside Beijing. Yanliang Airport is located in a wide mountain col, although it is not possible to carry out high-intensity take-off and landing here, it is very conducive to secrecy, and it is still very suitable as a test flight site.
Naturally, the most sensitive aircraft had to be studied in the Wild Continent throughout the process, and those prototypes that did not need to be kept too secretive or had a prototype flight before mass production could be tested here, for which the Chinese Empire also built a national flight test institute with the highest specifications in the country.
"How's the preparation going? When will the test flight begin? Fang Xiaoyu asked impatiently as soon as he got out of the car, he was still quite looking forward to today's aircraft.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready to start." Feng Hao, who was in charge of the research of these aircraft, immediately replied that the designer of the Kunpeng 1 bomber had become the director of the Imperial Aircraft Design Institute of the China Foundation.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Then let's start as soon as possible, I can't wait, I'm looking forward to your work." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the finalized test flight of the aircraft will begin immediately." Feng Hao immediately called his assistant to inform the test pilot, and he let Fang Xiaoyu into the observation room, which is a reinforced concrete building, with thick bulletproof glass in front of it to clearly see everything in the air, and the facilities here are enough to protect the internal personnel when the aircraft is in danger during the test flight.
All of the on-site personnel here are elite members of the Air Force, and under the command of a ground navigator, a fighter with an oversized propeller diameter and an inverted gull-shaped monoplane layout slowly glides onto the runway.
The five-bladed propeller turned faster and faster, and the plane began to accelerate slowly, and after only crossing the runway more than 200 meters long, the plane had already taken off. "It's really impressive to have such a short running distance, but I don't know how well it performs." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Feng Hao explained on the side: "We are thinking about wartime, if the airport runway is bombed, it only needs a few intact runways to take off, and it can also be converted into a carrier-based aircraft in the future." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You are really greedy, a fighter wants to win orders from both the navy and the army." ”
Looking at the fighter jet that was rapidly rising into the air, constantly tumbling and diving, and doing all kinds of difficult maneuvers, Fang Xiaoyu continued to ask: "What is the name of this aircraft?" What is the speed? ”
Feng Hao said: "This kind of aircraft research model is F7, if the military passes, it will become Golden Eagle 3, its maximum speed is 717 kilometers per hour, with a 2,000 horsepower, with a two-stage turbocharged engine. ”
Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Didn't you use the methanol water injection technique?" Fang Xiaoyu is not good at airplanes, but he has learned in history books that during World War II, fighter jets in many countries used methanol water injection technology to increase the horsepower of the engine, and he also told these researchers this name before, believing that these professionals can also study this technology by name only.
Feng Hao frowned slightly: "I don't know where I heard about this technique, this methanol water injection technique can indeed increase the engine power, but it has a great impact on the life of the engine, and it is conservatively estimated that the engine life will be reduced to one-tenth of the original, which is really worth the loss." ”
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly realized when he heard this, no wonder this technique was only used in World War II, it turned out to be just an expedient measure, this kind of engine is too low in peacetime, but every little horsepower added in wartime is precious. What's more, those planes are engaged in high-intensity battles every day, and the length of the engine life does not matter, it is estimated that the engine life has not yet arrived, and the plane has been shot down.
"What weapons are you going to install for this aircraft?" Fang Xiaoyu was not entangled in engine skills, when he saw that the F7 fighter that had completed the prescribed actions began to land, he couldn't help but pay attention to the weapons and equipment. Fang Xiaoyu is more amateurish in the Air Force, he only cares about speed and weapons, and for other professional data, he will leave it to those professionals.
"We plan to install eight 12.7mm machine guns for it, we have tested it, in addition to the machine gun it can also carry 900 kilograms of bombs, I wonder if His Majesty is satisfied." Speaking of the powerful weapons of the aircraft, Feng Hao couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Fang Xiaoyu gasped when he heard this, with so many machine guns installed on one fighter, any enemy plane could be taken down. "I'm just here to see the excitement today, and whether I can pass it depends on the opinions of professionals." Saying that, Fang Xiaoyu turned his gaze to Gao Qingfeng, the chief of staff of the Air Force who came with him.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's inquiring gaze, Gao Qingfeng withdrew his gaze from the data list and said: "This kind of aircraft is very good, much better than the Golden Eagle 2 fighter, our Air Force has decided to use it, as for the amount of equipment, this needs to be decided." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Since the Air Force has passed the audit, let's equip ten wings for the National Defense Force, and conduct a trial first." "Ten wings are eight hundred fighters, plus spare and replacement aircraft, this kind of aircraft must be manufactured at least a thousand, such a large number of manufacturing, the bonus to scientific research personnel will not be less, Feng Hao heard a burst of eyebrows.
Feng Hao continued: "There are four types of aircraft that have been finalized and tested today, Your Majesty and Chief of Staff continue to look at it, there are three kinds of bombers behind." ”
"Three kinds of bombers?" Fang Xiaoyu was very interested when he heard this: "I want to take a good look at this." ”
