Chapter 178: Crisis in the Air
After removing the various types of anti-aircraft missiles installed on the wing hardpoints, the weight of the fuselage was reduced by nearly a ton, the disadvantage of removing the missiles is that the weight reduction also means that the air-to-ground combat performance of the J-11 fighter is almost lost, and the fighter is like Wukong without a golden hoop stick after the bomb is removed, and the attack power plummets, the advantage is that the weight of the fuselage is reduced, and the range will increase slightly.
Not to mention the fighters of other countries, most of the paint colors of China's fighters are silver and black, but there are still great differences in the paint of fighters arranged in different regions, such as J-11BH, a derivative of J-11, which is used as a land-based aircraft of HNA used by the navy, its paint color is a piece of blue and white pattern, which makes people feel like they are in the sky and the sea at a glance, and the paint color of the J-11 in front of Yang Qian is not silver or black, but dark green and white patterns, It's like a soldier's camouflage uniform, green and white.
Yang Qian touched the cold metal fuselage with a smile on his face, as careful as stroking a delicate beauty, he never thought that he could fly a fighter jet one day, although it had not yet taken off at the moment, but he seemed to hear the whistling sound of the fighter plane cutting through the air rapidly, and the powerful roar of the engine.
Most of the J-11 fighters are mostly two-seaters, why? Because the J-11 is the main bomber responsible for China's struggle for sea supremacy, it is conceivable that the pilot cannot both fly the plane and drop bombs, so in the development of the J-11, it is mainly two-seater, but some single-seat is also produced in small batches for special operations, such as reconnaissance and air escort.
It just so happened that the fighter that Yang Qian was about to fly was a single-seat twin-engine engine, but because it was a single-seat model, Yang Qian sat in the cockpit and added a backpack, which seemed a little crowded, but he could only endure it.
Yang Qian's mind rehearsed the fighter operation steps described by Major Dong over and over again, Yang Qian's brain is like a supercomputer, every operation step is extremely perfect, Yang Qian simulated it in his brain a few times, it is worth a real pilot's several months of fighter simulation operation.
"Don't be nervous, as long as you follow what Major Dong said and operate slowly, you will definitely be able to fly into the blue sky smoothly and will not crash...... Bah, my stinky mouth, palm mouth...... Oops, it hurts......"
Obviously, the ambient temperature is not high and it is very cool, but fine beads of sweat have appeared on Yang Qian's forehead and palms, not because of fear, but because of extreme excitement.
Yang Qian's eyes flashed, like two diamonds were extremely bright, on the complex dashboard, he began to turn on one switch after another, and his movements quickly turned into a Taoist afterimage, and he couldn't tell that he was a rookie who had never been to the sky.
"Turn on the parkingbreak switch and the landing gear brakes ......"
"Turn on the Aircraft Avionics System ...... by turning on the Electrics switch to mainpower"
"Turn on the masterfuel switch, the aircraft oil circuit is turned on, and the engine oil circuit is ...... in the middle of the oil supply"
"Turning the AirSource switch to NORM and turning on the air conditioning system to supply oxygen to the cockpit ......" is especially important, once the plane flies to the high-altitude oxygen lean area, it can suffocate Yang Qian.
"Tighten the throttle to prevent the fighter from going out directly after starting the engine......"
The above steps are all preparations before starting the engine, and the next steps are the most important, because Yang Qian is about to start the engine.
"Turn on the JFSSTARTER, switch to start2 mode, and the engine starts ignition." Immediately, Yang Qian felt the fuselage tremble slightly, and the two engine openings under the tail opened and sprayed out two orange fires, accompanied by a little red spark, which was extremely gorgeous.
The strong air currents blew the dust on the ground, and even the hangar seemed to tremble slightly.
Yang Qian took a deep breath, his eyes showed a touch of determination, Yang Qian has never been a person who is afraid of things, and at this moment, the roar of the fighter engine pushed Yang Qian's excitement to the top.
"!"
After loosening the landing gear, Yang Qian obviously felt that the fighter plane was gradually driving out of the hangar at a very slow speed, that was because Yang Qian had not yet pushed the accelerator, and the slight shaking of the fighter made Yang Qian not only fearful, but also with an excited look on his face.
Before entering the runway, Yang Qian held the joystick between his legs and moved, turning the fighter right to the airport runway, looking at the long airport runway, the corners of Yang Qian's mouth showed a confident smile.
Yang Qian looked closely at the dashboard, when the engine speed reached 20%, Yang Qian pushed the throttle on the left hand side, a strong engine roar sounded on the runway, with the increase of the throttle, the thrust of the engine is getting bigger and bigger, and finally when the scene in front of him is about to connect into a line, Yang Qian felt that the fuselage was shocked again, and then felt a sense of weightlessness, and the fighter raised its head and began to take off.
The speed of the fighter plane was not very fast but very slow, but after a few seconds, Yang Qian felt like he had made a rocket, roaring quickly into the sky, and the scenery on the ground quickly became smaller.
"Oh yes, cool." Yang Qian shouted excitedly.
After the fighter lifted off, Yang Qian realistically put away the landing gear, turned on the multi-function display, GPS device and navigation system, but without the command of the tower, it seems that there is no satellite signal, and the GPS positioning system and navigation system cannot be used.
After the fighter plane flew smoothly, Yang Qian put on his helmet. The helmet is composed of various sponges, leather, support strips and other components, the protection is proper, although it is a little heavy, but it is as light as nothing for Yang Qian, after putting down the light eyepieces, Yang Qian feels that he really has the appearance of a pilot, if he has a mobile phone at the moment, he must not mind giving himself one.
Yang Qian lightly raised the nose of the plane and slowly increased the thrust, the fighter began to climb up at a forty-five degree angle, straight into the sky, a pure white cloud brushed across the wings, like a white little angel dancing, after breaking through the blockade of the clouds, Yang Qian drove the plane to the sky above the clouds, and the clouds below the fighter plane were like pieces of marshmallows.
Mutant beasts are also divided into land and air systems, and after Yang Qian flies above the clouds, he will generally not encounter flying mutant beasts at this altitude, unless it is a particularly strong flying mutant beast.
Before Yang Qian could enjoy the pleasure of extreme speed, a creepy feeling suddenly surged in his heart, as if he was suddenly targeted by a terrifying grim reaper, the hairs on his body stood up, his heart was filled with a strong sense of fear and a sense of life and death crisis, and the cold sweat on his face came down all of a sudden.
Under the thick clouds, a large unknown black shadow suddenly appeared, and suddenly the black shadow floated up to the clouds, and a golden-winged thunder eagle with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters flew behind Yang Qian's fighter, and Yang Qian also saw this scene through the rearview mirror installed in the cockpit.
"Fourth-order mutant beast, this is a fourth-order mutant beast, damn it, I'm xxx, what kind of bad luck did I have, I actually encountered such a powerful mutant beast...... The Heavenly Spirit Spirit Earth Spirit Buddha blessed it just passing by. The strong coercion that shook the soul made Yang Qian's body tremble slightly, and Yang Qian's eyes were already straight.
Each feather of the golden-winged thunder eagle is golden yellow, like a piece of gold covering its body, shining in the sunlight, it looks noble and inviolable, there is no trace of emotion in the calm eagle's eyes, revealing the ultimate indifference and nobility from the soul, as if it only needs a scream, all birds will bow down.
Yang Qian had never encountered a fourth-order mutant beast, and the reason why he was sure that the golden-winged thunder eagle was a fourth-order mutant beast was because Yang Qian had not felt such a strong coercion on the third-order mutant python that he encountered in the quagmire of the mountain range before arriving at the airport.
The sky was so wide, and the difficulty of Yang Qian encountering this fourth-order golden-winged thunder eagle was no less than the odds of winning the lottery, but Yang Qian didn't want this kind of wish at all, and just begged it not to notice his little mistake.
When Yang Qian was trying to stay away from the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, it suddenly turned its eyes and stared at the inexplicable "creature" that was spraying firelight, and suddenly there was an interested look in its eyes, and its wings moved like a lightning bolt rushing to Yang Qian's fighter, Yang Qian turned his head and saw the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle flying outside his cockpit, and his frightened soul was about to fly out.
"Don't."
After Yang Qian let out a strange scream, he hurriedly pushed the throttle, and the fighter suddenly burst out with unparalleled speed as if he had taken a big tonic, leaving the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle behind him in an instant.
The golden-winged thunder eagle was obviously stunned, the interested gaze in his eyes became more and more intense, and after making a cry that was enough to pierce the golden cracked stone, his wings shook and suddenly accelerated towards Yang Qian, as if he had eaten Yang Qian, Yang Qian once again felt the aura of the powerful creature that was approaching, and it was really tears that were about to fall.
To be honest, Yang Qian would rather be besieged by a million corpses than targeted by a powerful mutant beast, and now Yang Qian has no other way but to escape. War? Don't be kidding, even if Yang Qian can fly, he will be cut to pieces by the air flow like a knife when he goes out at this moment.
Yang Qian continued to increase the throttle, increase the thrust of the engine, and the power was also increasing, and the speed of the fighter increased to an incredible point, when the speed of the fighter was close to the speed of sound, a strong sonic boom was produced.
A sonic boom means that when an object approaches the speed of sound, there will be a strong resistance, causing the object to produce strong oscillations and attenuation of speed. This phenomenon is colloquially known as the sound barrier. When the sound barrier is broken, due to the compression of the air by the object itself, it cannot propagate rapidly, and gradually accumulates on the windward side of the object to form a shock wave surface, and the acoustic energy is highly concentrated on the shock wave surface. When this energy reaches people's ears, it can cause a brief and extremely strong explosion.
After the weakening of the sound in the cabin, the sonic boom was not loud in Yang Qian's ears, but the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle behind the fighter was different, and the sudden strong sonic boom made the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle startled suddenly, and then his eyes instantly became fierce and fierce, and a cold killing machine locked the fighter.
Yang Qian scolded angrily: "Your sister! ”
