Chapter 22: The First Landing
"The fuel is at its lowest, it's 200 kilometers from the base, let's go back." Rubbing his swollen brain, Zhang Wei took off the respirator and said to Luo Hai.
"Hmm." Luo Hai nodded, pulled the hand holding the joystick, stepped on the rudder under his feet, and controlled the L-15 'Falcon' advanced trainer aircraft under him to steer, and then flew towards the base at an altitude of 8,000 meters at a cruising speed of 900 kilometers per hour.
"Buzz!" Only 200 kilometers away, in less than twenty minutes, Zhang Wei and Luo Hai returned to the sky above the base.
"The moon wolf calls to the nest and asks to land." Zhang Wei called the base tower in the encrypted radio channel.
After receiving the news, the base tower replied: "The bird's nest has received, the wind force is level 4, and it can land." ”
"The moon wolf is ready to land." Zhang Wei responded, and prompted Luo Hai to prepare for landing.
The L-15 'Falcon' advanced trainer aircraft landed at a speed of 180-230 kilometers per hour, and Luo Hai, with the assistance of Zhang Wei, tried to land a jet plane for the first time.
Holding the joystick tightly with one hand, slowly pulling down the throttle valve, and then stepping on the rudder and controlling the entire fuselage, the L-15 'Falcon' advanced trainer aircraft staying in the air at 3,000 meters will not be slow to reduce its altitude and speed.
At this moment, Luo Hai could clearly see the base in the terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, the nose was aimed at the runway, Zhang Wei slowly assisted on the side, and the speed of the entire L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft was reduced to 300 kilometers per hour.
"Squeak!" When the flight speed was reduced to 210 kilometers per hour, Luo Hai opened the main and auxiliary landing gear. The nose of the fuselage was raised slightly, and the two pairs of auxiliary landing gear tires behind the fuselage rubbed violently against the runway, and a sharp hissing sound was heard.
When the two pairs of auxiliary landing gear behind the fuselage touched the airport runway, Luo Hai controlled the slightly raised nose of the aircraft to make the main landing gear in front of it touch the airport runway.
After the main and auxiliary landing gear both touched the runway, the entire silver-gray L-15 'Falcon' advanced training plane sped off on the runway at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.
"Bang!" Luo Hai opened the speed brake, then lowered the engine power, and then opened the parachute in the tail.
"Groan!" After taxiing more than 200 meters on the runway, the entire L-15 'Falcon' advanced training plane stopped steadily on the runway.
Then, the two AI-222-25F afterburner turbofan engines that maintained the lowest power slowly pushed the fuselage, stepped on the brake plate, and under Luo Hai's control, the whole fighter slowly left the runway, and slid into the simple tarmac along the road next to the runway.
Zhang Wei, who was turning off the on-board equipment, praised: "It's done well. "Although Luo Hai's operation when he landed was still a little rusty, it was already very good for newcomers. You know, Luo Hai is the first time to land in a jet.
"It's not good enough." Luo Hai shook his head when he thought of what he had just done, and then took off his helmet sights.
At this time, the ground crew on the side had already opened the blister-shaped glass cockpit and put the ladder next to the cockpit. After turning off the engine and onboard equipment, Zhang Wei and Luo Hai left their seats and followed the ladder to the ground.
When he came to the ground, Luo Hai took out a bottle of mineral water from the side, and after drinking it bitterly, he found that his companions had not returned at this time.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Hai immediately understood. The time spent in the air by the second-generation aircraft far exceeds that of the L-15 Falcon advanced training aircraft in the category of the third-generation aircraft, and it is normal for the elite class students who fly the first-generation aircraft to not return to the base.
At this time, Zhang Wei, who was driving a small electric car, came to Luo Hai's side and said to Luo Hai: "Luo Hai, let's make another flight summary." ”
"Got it, Instructor Zhang." Luo Hai didn't say much, smiled at Zhang Wei and nodded.
"Well, we'll move on tomorrow." Zhang Wei nodded, and then said, "Are you leaving?" I'll give you a ride. ”
"No, I like it." Luo Hai pointed to the variable speed bike parked next to him and said with a smile.
Zhang Wei shook his head, and then drove a small electric car and left the simple apron: "Regardless of you, pay attention to rest, I'll go first." ”
"Team Leader He, I'm sorry for you." After glancing at the departing small electric car, Luo Hai turned around and said to the five ground crews.
"Luo Hai, don't bother, this is what we should do." He Tao, who has the rank of sergeant, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Luo Hai.
The duties of ground handling are inherently for pilots and aircraft. He Tao's ground crew team is responsible for overhauling and maintaining two L-15 Falcon advanced trainer aircraft every day, which is a very heavy workload.
Regarding He Tao's words, Luo Hai could not deny it. Shaking his head, Luo Hai put down the mineral water bottle in his hand, and then joined He Tao's team: "Come, I'll also take a hand and learn." ”
As a pilot, the first thing you need to do is to understand the fighter that accompanies you.
For the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft in front of him, which is like a little lover, Luo Hai must of course grope and explore.
He Tao and the four ground staff immediately smiled, and when they saw Luo Hai who joined them, the five of them also had a good feeling in their hearts. With maintenance tools in hand, Luo Hai and He Tao's team maintained the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft that had just flown over.
"Buzz!" Time passed slowly like flowing water, after Luo Hai and He Tao's group finished the maintenance of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft, in the sky far away from the base, a silver-white Chujiao-7 appeared, the unique propeller sound was like a mosquito flapping its wings buzzing, after aiming at the base runway, this Chujiao-7 slowly landed on the base runway.
And behind this Beginner Seven, a silver-white Beginner Seven, also headed back towards the base.
"Team Leader He, I'll go first." After maintaining the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft, Luo Hai pushed the variable speed bicycle on the side and said to He Tao.
After maintaining the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft with He Tao and others, Luo Hai also has an in-depth understanding of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft controlled today.
This benefited Luo Hai a lot.
"Luo Hai, see you next time." He Tao, who was holding the maintenance tools, nodded with a smile.
Luo Hai smiled and nodded: "Team Leader He, see you next time." Then he stepped on the shifting bike and left.
It was still early, and after Luo Hai stepped on the variable speed bicycle and returned to the dormitory, he realized the feeling of flying today, and wrote a flight summary: "Death rolling, deadly strangulation, well, let's call them air combat skills in the future." ”
Air combat skills, just like the martial arts of a warrior, are combat skills that belong to pilots.
After writing the flight summary, Luo Hai felt the gray sphere in his body return to the normal energy absorption speed, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems that in the future, we will have to break through supersonic speed a lot to speed up the absorption of space energy." ”
"Now, let's go to the tooth sacrifice first." After the flight summary was written, Luo Hai did not linger in the dormitory, his computer-like brain was running at high speed, Luo Hai once again built a mathematical model of air combat, and then left the dormitory and headed towards the scrap area of the base.
After coming to the scrap area, Luo Hai said hello to Zhou Lao, and after touching the wolf dog Xiao Huang, he entered the scrap area, quietly absorbing hundreds of kilograms of scrap special metals, adding a little golden energy in his body.
Then he left the scrap area with a piece of titanium alloy, and after returning to the empty dormitory, he used his gold ability to make a metal model of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft that was not rough or delicate.
After putting the silver-gray paint on the metal model of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft, Luo Hai didn't care about it anymore, lay on the bed, held a book on air combat in the base library, and read it slowly.
At the same time, the brain is also running at a high speed, and through the notebook in the space that guò carries, it is constantly calculating one number after another, building a mathematical model of air combat dynamics with a three-dimensional space range of 10 kilometers for four third-generation fighters.
"Lao Luo, we're back." After a while, Li Zheng returned to the dormitory with a bag of things.
When Luo Hai saw the things in Li Zheng's pocket, he immediately wondered, "Huh? Li Zheng, isn't there no commissary for these things? ”
"Hehe, my mom mailed it here." Li Zheng smiled, then took out a delicately packaged food and threw it on Luo Hai's bed.
Hearing that it was something outside, Luo Hai's mouth was also greedy, he tore open the bag, and took a bite: "It tastes good." ”
In the base, as an elite class student, everyone who enjoys the allowance of deputy company commander and lieutenant can get a monthly allowance of 2,500 yuan.
It's just that in the base, even if you spend money, you can't find a place to spend it.
The base commissary, although the name is a commissary, but the things sold are not as complete as the city commissary.
Canned beef, bread, mineral water, cigarettes, full of calories, all the commissaries of the base, sell these things.
During this period of time, Li Zheng, an extraordinary rich second generation, was very distressed and wanted to spend a lot of money, but he spent it again and again but found that no matter how much he spent it every month, he couldn't spend the allowance issued by the army.
This made him extremely distressed.
You can't buy 10,000 yuan of canned beef, right?
Luo Hai is the same, as a foodie, he also has no secrets about the base commissary. During this time, he had enough bread, canned beef and wanted to vomit, and he didn't smoke cigarettes.
Now that he has eaten the food sold outside, Luo Hai is as if he has not known the taste of meat for three years, and he immediately gnawed on: "Lao Li, your relationship is in place, your mother can send these things to the base for you." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, tell me what you want to eat in the future." Li Zheng took a sip of a bottle of iced tea, and at this moment he never felt that the iced tea for a few yuan was so delicious.
Luo Hai finished chewing on the things in his hand, and then picked up a bottle of iced tea and took a sip: "By the way, what are you doing at home?" ”
"Daddy is steel, Mom is airplane." After Li Zheng drank some iced tea, he wiped his mouth and slammed his mouth and said.
Hearing Li Zhengman's indifferent words, Luo Hai shook his head: "Amazing." "Luo Hai didn't expect that he still looked away, parents who can engage in steel and airplanes, and have a relationship to bring things from outside the base in, Li Zheng's * is definitely not that simple.
"I'm going to eat, are you going or not?" After Li Zheng drank the iced black tea that he hadn't drunk for several months, he touched his stomach and said to Luo Hai.
For eating, how could Luo Hai, who was a foodie, not be active, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Of course." ”
Li Zheng smiled, and then left the dormitory with Luo Hai and walked towards the cafeteria. After eating in the cafeteria, the two returned to the dormitory.
Li Zheng went to write a summary of the flight, while Luo Hai lay on the bed, holding the book, and his brain continued to work, once again constructing his own mathematical model of air combat.
