Section 137 - If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools
When the other air force instructors who came with him and adapted to the jet lag, Lin Mo went to the hangar where the four FC-20s were stored, and in one day, he just took out the aircraft component packing box from the special container, which was still far from assembly, and after the two engineers had a good night's rest, they began to direct the Zambian mechanics and soldiers to start the first round of disassembly and packaging, preparing to assemble the main airframe first.
This process is necessary because two Chinese engineers cannot stay at Lusaka Air Base forever, from parts to assembly, to teach by example so that Zambian mechanics can learn to care for and maintain these four expensive third-generation and a half fighters.
With the continuous change of places to carry out tasks, Lin Mo made less and less sources of metal food for the golden dragon, anyway, he was idle and idle, adhering to the principle of diligent inspection and housekeeping, Lin Mo did not miss any opportunity to obtain metal, and took the initiative to join the work of fighter jet assembly, unknowingly earning some rations for gold coins.
Bai Fei and Yang Songlei were deeply surprised, but they didn't expect Lin Mo to hide it deeply, and he could actually master the not simple skill of aircraft assembly, the two of them didn't dare to believe it at first, Lin Mo casually mentioned the structure and assembly process of his J-10A assembly, which made the two engineers believe that this Air Force lieutenant really has experience in assembling fighters, if he didn't do it himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know what kind of parts are in the plane.
With Lin Mo's understanding of his J-10A and modification experience, his J-10 assembly experience will not be much worse than these two engineers.
With Lin Mo's help, the work efficiency of the two engineers has been greatly improved, the four planes began to assemble synchronously, and the instructions shipped to Zambia are all translated English versions.
This is the same as the production of the space shuttle, a rag forgotten in the body will cause the body to dissolve in the air. The main purpose is to instruct the Zambian side to learn how to maintain, otherwise the speed will be at least five or six times higher just by relying on the familiarity of the two engineers with the J-10.
The arrival of the new fighter jets thrilled everyone at the Zambian Air Base, with mechanics and pilots rushing to help, and four FC-20s surrounded by a circle of people from morning till night, all of whom were trying to digest the knowledge of the high-performance fighters as quickly as possible.
In order to be able to successfully operate the four new FC-20s, eight of the best pilots were selected from Lusaka Air Base and assigned to four Chinese Air Force instructors, each of whom was responsible for two pilots, who served as valuable seeds for Zambia as instructors for further training.
Of course, other pilots were not refused to observe, if other pilots were willing, they could follow any instructor to learn flight theory, but they were not qualified to go to the FC-20 for the time being, but then to the surprise of the Chinese Air Force instructors, from beginning to end, only these eight pilots could take the initiative to follow their four instructors, and none of the other pilots came to observe.
Just like a true joke about Zambian locals among the Chinese working in Zambia, the mine has opened the blasting point, has been inserted with explosives, and is about to press the detonator at the end, the end of work bell rings, Zambian workers immediately retract the hand that pressed the detonation button, on time, not a second without delay, patting the ass and leaving, leaving the detonator and explosives there, leaving tomorrow's working day, if the next day is a holiday, let alone see you on Monday!
Most Zambians are natural optimists, and some customs do make hard-working Chinese laugh and cry.
Among the two pilots assigned to Lin Mo, one of them was the first Lieutenant Grafedo he knew when he first arrived at the base, with a little white skin, probably of mixed race, and the other was Lieutenant Noraf, who was short and stocky, Zambians only have a first name but no surname, generally according to Western habits, often use the last word as a surname, which does not mean that the next generation will still use this word as a surname, usually intercepting a word from the father's name as a symbol of inheritance.
Although not a veteran pilot at the Lusaka base, you will be trained as a pilot for the FC-20 when you are young and have a strong learning ability.
I have to say that this kind of ultra-small class system of one belt and two teaching, the efficiency is much higher than a teaching method with several, can train qualified pilot seeds for Zambia in the shortest possible time, each of the Chinese pilots is a valuable asset of the country, and has a short flight life cycle, so it is impossible to waste a lot of time in these countries, Lin Mo and their training cycle, it is only a short three months.
Lin Mo's teaching method is more special, he did not follow the syllabus at all, he took the two pilots to participate in the assembly work with an FC-20 that was being assembled.
Lin Mo told them: "Only by understanding every part of the fighter can we give full play to its maximum performance, and in actual combat, sometimes only one line of advantages is enough to win over the opponent." ”
The two Zambian pilots, who didn't quite understand why Lin Mo did this, immediately nodded, and had to admit that Lin Mo's words were extremely reasonable, and the slightest mistake in air combat was often a small difference between advantages and disadvantages, and it would directly become the key to deciding victory or defeat.
"Yes, yes! Pay attention to the fasteners, you only have one chance with these special-shaped cold-mounted fasteners, if it fails, congratulations, a year's salary is gone! Buy another set of standard parts, and you'll have to wait a month before you can use your FC-20. ”
"See, don't trust the vector power too much, it's just a small deformation to change the direction of thrust, if you find that the other party also has such a change, it means that it has to do the action of throwing you off in the fight, and hit him in advance in the opposite direction to stop him with an aerial gun, to ensure that one beat is accurate."
"Pay attention to the anti-igsystem anti-icing system, you should pay attention to temperature control at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, too fast hypothermia will paralyze your reaction speed, take the turbo pump, don't touch the spoiler!" I'm pretending to show you, look carefully, but there's no second chance, and if your opponent doesn't notice this, then congratulations, the freeze will make him your best target, and if you forget about it, the target will become you. ”
Lin Mo took the tools and went straight around the fighter, asking Grafedo and Noraf to help him get his hands on it, and the two of them installed the unimportant components.
"Yes, 'Lin'!"
The two Zambian pilots who apprenticed Lin Mo affectionately called Lin Mo "Lin", isn't that the crisp sound of the gold coins striking?
Lin Mo's outstanding performance video at the recent Zhuhai Air Show left a deep impression on these Zambian pilots who had seen this video.
When they learned that Lin Mo was the pilot codenamed "Golden Coin", Grafedo and Noraf even hugged each other excitedly, screaming, and the other pilots cast envious eyes.
Although Lin Mo was younger than most of the pilots here, and even had a higher rank than him, it did not affect his status in the minds of these people.
In their eyes, pilots who can fly such a powerful low-altitude cobra and shoot so accurately with aerial guns are simply real air trump cards, and you can imagine how lucky they are.
Grafido and Noraf were busy, as pilots, the two of them had no doubts about Lin Mo's words, and they didn't ask why, they did whatever Lin Mo said they both, and they were completely resolute in carrying it out.
Lin Mo was by their side to guide them in assembling fighter jets, while teaching them the role of each component, what to do if they encountered a malfunction, and if they were used to improve their air combat superiority, and even to exert their unexpected combat effectiveness.
Major Huang De, Major Han Renguang and Captain Zou Han never thought that Lin Mo would use such a teaching method, people can't compare with each other, although they have a standard syllabus in their hands, but there is no detailed explanation of the various parts of the fighter, how can Lin Mo explain it carefully and thoroughly, especially the incredible combat tricks derived from it, these are not in the textbook, and it is not even possible to imagine that this Lieutenant Lin Mo will have such rich experience in tactical maneuvers.
However, due to the needs of the military, some special parameters and exclusive fighting skills that can only be played by the J-10 are not in the outline, and Lin Mo and other instructors have left a hand for this.
"Well done, guys! That's all for today, take a break, we'll try the K-8 in the afternoon, and then we'll tell you the difference from the FC-20. Lin Mo watched the two Zambian pilots assemble it by themselves, smeared with putty, and the black race was about to turn into a gray race.
At the beginning, Lin Mo was directly selected to enter the 7759 brigade, and learned the operation of the J-10 based on the advanced simulator and the L-15 Falcon advanced training aircraft, without the usual learning process of two years of theory first, and then one year from primary, intermediate to advanced training aircraft.
Due to his better talent, Lin Mo and other students were selected into the 7759 Brigade and directly entered the special teaching process and ascended to the sky directly.
However, because of the poor conditions, the pilots in Zambia cannot follow the normal training process, and many teaching steps have been streamlined, basically a crash course in fighter aircraft, all of which are mastered by the pilots themselves, but in terms of air combat skills, they are still a big gap behind China, Russia, the United States and other countries, and the gap in industrial base and technology cannot be made up by manpower.
