Chapter 391: Come on
Many times, many things are not under the control of the parties, Nathan knows, just like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe at the beginning, that is also the result of repeated requests from his subordinates, although some people in later generations scolded Zhao Kuangyin for hypocrisy, it was a trick he played, after all, there were subordinates to cooperate.
Of course, Nathan doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing now, you know, Nathan is still young, and he is still far from that position, but these old guys are all shrewd, and now they are just making political investments, and they don't have to spend anything, just a few words.
Nathan smiled: "I will work hard, as a naval pilot, I will always be ready to fight, with my life and blood, to write the pursuit of democracy and freedom." ”
Thatcher nodded, Nathan, a smart man.
"Recently, there was Major Launesson, in the UK, to help us complete the take-off and landing experiments of aircraft carriers, and this is very important."
Nathan nodded: "Yes, I'll try, I think it's okay." ”
Nathan really felt that there was no problem, although it had not been a period of time since the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, but when Nathan flew over today, he felt that every nerve in his body was recovering towards his peak state, and he and the Tomcat fighter were once again one.
Although the aircraft carrier is small, there is no problem with take-off and landing.
The banquet passed quickly, because the next day was going to be an experiment, so everyone didn't drink, they just drank drinks, and the next day, Nathan's mental state was very good.
Although she slept with Emily, Emily didn't come to ask Nathan for it, and at this time, she had to conserve her strength.
Nathan put on the flight suit one by one, and Emily was on the side, looking at the man he loved deeply, constantly drawing a cross on his chest, God, please bless him to come back safely, if something happens to him, then, he is here, end his life.
Emily is already in love, unable to extricate herself, she can't imagine life without Nathan, it must be worse than death.
Jenny didn't dare, she had the responsibility of the family and wouldn't accompany Nathan, so it would be just herself.
Thinking of this, Emily felt like something was stabbing in her heart, Nathan was away from Mirama during the time she was away, in fact, Emily was paying attention to him, as a CIA officer, there were many ways to know Nathan's whereabouts.
Nathan has already been to Jenny's house, has already met her family, and Nathan may marry Jenny in the future.
And he is destined to marry Nathan justifiably, because he is an agent and has been on a mission, as long as he can be silently by Nathan's side, he is already satisfied.
Now I cherish all this.
"Emily, you can stay here, you can walk around, I'll be back in the evening, if it goes well today, then we can go back in a week at most."
It doesn't take too long.
The take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft seems to have a lot of preparatory work, but these works have been completed, the blocking cables are installed in place, the landing guidance devices are also in place, and only experiments remain, and the most important thing is that this is not the first time to land, they have long had rich experience.
The British Navy is the same, just before the Invincible class was put into service, the British Navy's Ark Royal was also operating ghosts, and they were no strangers.
If it weren't for the fact that the performance of the ghosts was outdated, they could even directly use the ghosts to reach the invincible level.
"Major Nathan, I'll be on the Invincible today, in charge of guiding." Right at the airport, Ensign Clive said to Nathan, "I hope we have a good time working together." ”
No matter how bold a carrier-based aircraft pilot is, he also knows that he cannot fight alone, especially when landing, there are many uncertainties, and a skilled pilot to be a landing guide officer is a must.
This time it was an experiment, and it was full of dangers, and Second Lieutenant Clive came to act as a guide officer, and the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
"Well, Clive, I believe you." Nathan said, patting him on the shoulder, "Come on!" ”
Come on? This should be right for me to say to him, but in terms of military rank, it is obviously higher, and it seems normal for people to say so.
"Well, I'll do my best." "We're going to do four experiments, the first three, all of which are skimming over the carrier, simulating landing, and the last time, falling again," said Second Lieutenant Clive. ”
Because it is a simulation, therefore, it is necessary to be cautious, the average aircraft carrier pilot, before officially landing on the aircraft carrier, also has to go through many simulated landing, that is, according to the order of landing, until the end, check the attitude or something, fly a few times, feel that there is no problem, will land in one go.
"Okay, go get ready." Nathan said.
At this time, the aircraft carrier Invincible in the distance, smoke was already rising from the chimney.
It is a normal phenomenon for warships to emit black smoke, and in the past, heavy oil boilers used to use diesel fuel to support combustion when igniting, and at this time, the billowing smoke was the same as the explosion of an arsenal.
The invincible is already equipped with a gas turbine, and the gas turbine uses aviation kerosene or light oil that meets the standards, the oil itself has fewer impurities, higher calorific value, more adequate combustion, and strong instantaneous explosive power.
Needless to say, even the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, which was quite proud of the British in later generations, uses two Rollslath MT-30 gas turbines and two Italian-made diesel engines to emit black smoke when it should be.
Although military spending is tight, the Navy is also tightening its belts and withdrawing funds to conduct sea trials, hoping to enter service as soon as possible, and this time, the Invincible is the focus of the Navy.
On the bridge of the Invincible, Rear Admiral Woodward personally boarded the ship, Admiral John could not arrive in person because of something, and Rear Admiral Woodward was the person in charge of this experiment.
The biggest difference with the steam engine is that the gas turbine can run at full power soon after ignition, and now, almost just after the Invincible is started, the propeller in the tail is rotating at high speed, driving the aircraft carrier out of the port and towards the sea area of the experiment.
This major experiment is about to begin.
The leaping deck at the bow of the Invincible shone in the sun, and at the back of the bridge on the deck, Ensign Clive and others, who were in charge of guidance, were also in place.
