Chapter 731: Alkin's Letter
After emphasizing the urgency of time, Long Yun dispelled some doubts for Kirilenko:
"Since it's too late, I'll give you a boost here, let's quickly modify it and make White Twenty close to 'P-42'. As for what will become of the temper of this fighter after it is so modified, I will assume the work of the test pilot.
Anyway, let's do it now, what do you think? ”
"Y-you're going to be a test pilot?"
Although he doesn't know much about aircraft design and manufacturing, Kirilenko also knows some common sense, and he knows very well that the Su-27S of this modification is similar to the original state, although it looks similar on the outside, but it has changed greatly in the bones, which is equivalent to two different models. How to control this kind of improvised thing after flying into the sky is probably only possible with the cautious attitude of a test pilot and the top technology like Victor to find the answer.
Thinking of this, Kirilenko raised his hand to hold his glasses and cautiously agreed with this:
"Alright! Let's do it, but Victor, you have to be more careful when you test fly. ”
The specific modification plan was determined, to put it bluntly, it was to dismantle and dismantle the white No. 20 Su-27S, which was actually more difficult to decide, and it was quite fast to do it.
After discussing for a while in the maintenance workshop, he urged Kirilenko to coordinate the maintenance force of the base to complete this operation as much as possible, originally Long Yun still had the heart to participate in the scene, to be honest, he was still a little curious about this matter, and wanted to see what kind of process it was to disassemble the electronic equipment of the fighter; But now that time is of the essence. The next day, it is likely that the White Twenty will be lifted off for some flight tests. During the Great War, a qiē from Jane. But the necessary rest is still indispensable.
Flying a plane into the sky is not a trivial matter, not to mention a Su-27 that has been modified and has completely changed its characteristics, and if you are not careful, you may have a serious accident such as the plane being destroyed and people killed.
Bidding farewell to Kirilenko, who was busy, and looking at his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock, and Long Yun walked out of the maintenance hangar in a leisurely manner. His plan was to go straight back to the barracks and sleep.
However, as usual every night, it is probably impossible to have a very calm environment for a good rest in the busy Stavropol base; Just as I walked through the concrete path next to the airport runway, I heard the roar of engines in my ears, and in the deep night, I saw a few white lights approaching from a distance, and then pulling up one after the other, which were four Su-27S fighters with landing gear lights on and maintaining a formation attitude.
Hearing the whistling thunder in his ears, Long Yun followed the direction of the plane for a moment, and the flames of the bright tail vent were blue, indicating that the fighter was using full afterburner, obviously this was another emergency mission for a midnight attack. But you don't know how the battle is going in the southern sky?
Seeing the fleet of his comrades flying far away, he stood by the runway for a moment. Long Yun felt a gust of night breeze with a chill on his cheeks, and he didn't turn around and leave until there was no trace of the fighter plane in the night sky.
Battles at night are often more dangerous than during the day, and I hope these lads will return safely.
Probably because of being a traverser, Long Yun often has some such feelings, he calmly walked into the base barracks building, and as soon as he pushed the door open and entered the living room, he heard a lazy female voice from the direction of the bedroom:
"Is that you...... Victor? ”
"It's me. Haven't you rested, Valya? ”
Hearing Valentina's voice unexpectedly, Long Yun was a little embarrassed in addition to being surprised, thinking that if he came back earlier, maybe this KGB agent would be completely at ease and could sleep well earlier. However, after sitting down at the table and pouring a glass of water to catch his breath, Long Yun saw the sleepy-eyed Valentina come out of the bedroom, and while sorting out the scattered nightgowns, he pointed to a stack of fax papers on the desk:
"I've slept once, but I didn't sleep deeply. That's right, the regiment sent someone to send a fax document before," said as he came to the desk, picked up the stack of papers and shook it at Long Yun, Valentina raised her eyes to look at the wall clock on the wall, "I think it should be very important to send something specially sent at such a late hour, so I deliberately slept vigilantly, just to remind you to take a look at it when you come back." Who knew it was the middle of the night again, Victor, why don't you go to bed first? ”
"Oh? What kind of text, it doesn't hurt to take a look at it first. ”
Leaning in slightly from the chair and taking the fax paper from Valentina's hand, Long Yun thought in his heart, and he didn't know if this beauty agent had a sneak peek and looked at the text first. However, when he glanced at the title on the fax paper, he knew that this speculation was meaningless, it seemed to be a technical document for the development of the project from the MiG Design Bureau, this kind of thing, even if Valentina was well-trained and knowledgeable, it was impossible to understand for a while.
But when he saw the words "MiG Design Bureau", he was puzzled, how could the documents of this unit be transmitted to the 237 regiment?
Turning the pages of the paper with his fingers, Long Yun, who was confused, suddenly thought of a possibility, he recalled that a few months ago, when he returned to Moscow for the first time, he saw the project 1.44 demonstrator somewhere in the MiG design bureau.
Now, I suddenly saw the text sent by Mi Pattern, could it be that this project has been-
Could it be、Could it be that the MiG-44 in the meter pattern is going to be finalized!
Suddenly thinking of this, Long Yun only felt a thump in his heart, but he quickly flipped the fax paper in his hand and shook his head in a little disappointment, the "MiG" he saw throughout this document was not put together with "44", only some descriptions of "MiG-29".
Hey, I thought the new fighter had eyebrows, but it turned out that it was still a white excitement.
When flipping through the paper at random, pulling out a document from the third page, Long Yun smiled a little self-deprecatingly at Valentina, who was sitting next to him, probably as a time-traveler from the real world, he was still a little too anxious about many things. After all, the research and development cycle of a combat aircraft often takes several years, and judging from the progress of the project 1.44 he saw in the meter pattern before, he wants to get a new fighter within a few months, and this expectation is completely contrary to scientific laws and is also divorced from objective reality.
Dispelling the unrealistic illusions about the new fighter, Long Yun first beckoned the sleepy Valentina to go back to bed to continue resting, he sat down at the desk and turned on the lamp, intending to roughly study this material without a title and in a rather messy order, to see what was said inside.
As for the starting point of reading, the first thing is a document that I just pulled out, and the reason why I took this out separately is because the document is a little familiar, "Algin Fadeev", Long Yun remembered that he should be the chief designer of the MiG Design Bureau.
“…… So, Comrade Viktor Rezenov, I would like to provide you with a report on the progress of our work in the near future through the secret information transmission channel of the Guò Committee (referring to the State Security Council, i.e. the KGB).
It's hard for me to explain the reason for this; Suffice it to say, however, that since I learned that you were transferred to the Caucasus for combat duty with the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment in the Southern Theater of Operations, I have been following the operational situation in the southern territories and have received some information from the Commission and other units. Now my consideration is this: if our side is going to launch a large-scale military operation in the south in the near future, some of the results of the work of the design bureau may be of some help to the battle that breaks out in the sky; For this reason, our bureau has specially consulted the committee, and we have also been approved to provide you with some relevant materials.
As for whether the results of this research can be used in the next operation, or how to play a role, if you have any plans or suggestions, you can contact the 'MiG' design bureau, and I am waiting for your reply. ”
The narrative is plain and concise, after reading such a letter without beginning or end, Long Yun can almost imagine Altyn Fadeev typing and thinking in front of the computer, this unsmiling, but talented designer, what he writes is probably such a dry tone, right?
However, when it comes to the "work results" of the MiG Design Bureau, Long Yun immediately became interested, after all, he is a major general of the Air Force Aviation, not the head of the Ministry of Defense Industry, and what will be the "results" that he specially came to inform him?
Although it was late in the morning and his mental state was not too concentrated, Long Yun still barely bothered to brace his spirits, and after a cursory glance at the report faxed by the Design Bureau through the KGB system, he quickly understood what Alkin meant. Looking at some of the diagrams and design sketches on the paper, as well as some related test reports, some of the practical work carried out around the MiG-29, a model that Long Yun is extremely familiar with, made him feel that his eyes lit up when he was extremely tired.
Yes, this improvement on the basis of the MiG-29, if the situation is really as the MiG Design Bureau said, then in the upcoming large-scale combat operations in the Southern Theater of Operations, it may really be able to play an unexpected key role!
After a cursory look at all the documents, Long Yun had already made up his mind to contact Algin.
Although there are a lot of things to be distracted from in the current fierce war, this does not prevent him from making a phone call to ask about the situation, discuss with Altyn and the others, and how to incorporate the new achievements of the rice pattern into the next Caucasus war situation.
Yes, as long as time comes, this outcome will certainly be very helpful. (To be continued......)
