Section 275 - Road trip south
Through the purchase of a large number of commercial marketing books, the Patan Shali, who is hungry for knowledge like a sponge, has gradually grown up, and her horizons have gradually broadened. Dragoon Mining Company has also taken shape and grown bit by bit under the leadership of this female CEO of Patan.
When the Jewel Valley set off a vigorous construction, Lin Mo did not stay in the base of the "Dark Night" special service team.
In order to avoid the recurrence of things that are not conducive to Lin Mo, the superiors specially arranged a period of snow hiding, and when the limelight is over, let Lin Mo come out for activities.
Colonel Qi's proposed "vacation mission" is still under approval, and I don't know when I will get this assignment order to give myself a vacation.
Anyway, the plane is gone, and it is not interesting to stay in the hangar of the air crew stupidly, the orders of the domestic aircraft factory are already full, not that they don't want to make money, but the production efficiency is really not fast, this is not a printing machine, but also affected by the yield rate of the supporting factory, all are time-consuming and laborious finishing products.
And there is no certainty when the new aircraft will arrive, and the model is also to be determined, J-10A or J-10B, or J-11 or something, and there is no approval from the superiors.
A pilot without a seat frame is not as good as an infantryman, of course, if the gold coin guy is not good, he will not be given a ride to accompany Lin Mo for flight training.
With yes, Lin Mo found his junior again, that's right, junior. In addition to Lin Mo's original J-10 big fu, the P51 "Mustang" of the second-room "demon" happened to be the junior.
The P51 Mustang piston fighter plane, which was parked at an air base in the middle of China, has undergone a drastic change and has a completely new appearance.
The standard MI color coating, the big Bayi logo, if foreigners see it, there is definitely a mouthful of blood to vomit, how did the original goods of the United States during World War II become the fighter sequence in service in China.
For Lin Mo, the ace, as long as it performs combat missions like the previous J-10A. Flying a designated route is basically no different.
It is nothing compared to when it was in Afghanistan, but the country has abundant supplies, and the improvement and restoration of the P51 "Mustang" is extremely smooth. By the way, it didn't cost a few dollars to place an order for spare parts, and it didn't even need a special aircraft factory, which can be done by general machining enterprises. The structure of a piston fighter is much simpler than that of a jet-powered fighter, especially on the dashboard, which is almost slightly more complicated than the driver's seat of a car, and there is not even a radar on the plane.
After further modifications, the machine gun positions on the left and right sides of the wing were directly converted into two 8-meter caliber machine guns, and the self-feeding boxes could hold 300 rounds each. The under-wing pylons were modified to carry short-range missiles and rocket nests, although only two pylons on each wing were sufficient, and an infrared thermal flare launcher was modified under the belly to fire 24 thermal flares in a row.
The fuselage is loaded with a computer system, and the cockpit is no different from the cockpit of a modern fighter jet, but it is much more streamlined, and before the official car arrives, Lin Mo has strengthened the Xing energy limit of the P51 "Mustang" to the existing extent.
It is not possible to load a fire radar like a jet fighter. Lin Mo installed a small disc-shaped radar on the fuselage behind the cockpit, which was not very powerful, but it was enough to deal with targets within 20 kilometers.
The fire control radar cannot be installed, unless it is equipped with an electronic pod radar plug-in, but the P51 "Mustang" is not suitable for over-the-horizon lock attacks, and it is already the limit to be able to load short-range air-to-air missiles.
Modern high-precision equipment and technical means were loaded on this old fighter, and not only did not increase the weight of the fuselage. On the contrary, this "Mustang" abandoned some stupid and stupid equipment, successfully lost weight, and was nearly a ton lighter, the engine components were replaced with better quality parts, and the Xing energy of the whole aircraft was raised to a higher level again.
Under Lin Mo's modification. This P51 "Mustang" has reached the limit of the piston fighter's Xing energy, and the endurance has also increased a lot, and the range is even farther than the J-10.
In fact, the factory load resistance standard of this P51D will not be much worse than that of J-8, it can reach 7.33G, and the theoretical design value is more than 12G, so there is more room for modification.
As long as you can maintain it yourself and don't take off without authorization, the superiors actually don't care whether the pilot has such a big toy, the use and maintenance of the aircraft are demanding, and the aircraft, especially the fighter jet, is not a SI car, usually this kind of accident is unlikely to occur.
Just as Lin Mo was packing up the P51 "Mustang", the order from his superiors was also transferred to the air base where Lin Mo was located, ordering him to go to the South China Sea to join the No. 83 aircraft carrier training ship of the Dalian Naval Academy for military training in the South China Sea, and serve as a carrier-based aircraft instructor to provide training assistance for aircraft carrier pilots.
When Lin Mo was a cameo test pilot at Defense Star Aerospace, his piloting skills had already conquered quite a few experts and aviation professionals in China.
A quasi-expert who is well-versed in aircraft design, familiar with mechanics, and has hands-on skills, and is building his own fighter jet, no one will question the decision of his superiors.
The ace ace pilots who have experienced the exchange of fire between India and Pakistan and have performed many actual combat missions have rich combat experience, with J-10, L15 Falcon, J-8, FC1 Thunder, X1 experimental aircraft, J-14 and J-20 and other fighter jets.
Even for short take-offs and landings on aircraft carriers, he has sufficient handling skills.
Lin Mo was the only one who set off, and in the order that came, he was only given a coordinate area and arrival time.
Vehicle? No!
Lin Mo brought his own dry food, daily necessities, and planes, and flew over by himself, which was another self-driving trip.
Just kidding, an excellent aircraft design expert, an excellent mechanic, plus an air combat ace, even if it catapults, he can easily get a plane back, just for him, if he specially dispatches a warship to send it over or a carrier-based aircraft to pick him up, it will be a waste of money at all, and the cost of a round trip is enough to pay Lin Mo a ten-year salary.
It's not as convenient as Lin Mo himself driving the P51 "Mustang" that he picked up for nothing.
Aircraft carrier project 83 is a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier purchased from Ukraine and renovated at the Dalian shipyard.
It is also equipped with powerful anti-ship, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine weapons, powered by 4 steam turbines and 4 steam boilers, and propelled by 4 shafts, 4 oars and two rudders.
The bow of the ship uses a sliding take-off deck, and the middle of the ship is equipped with 4 aircraft landing cables and 1 emergency arrest net. The bridge island building is located on the right side of the flight deck, with a deck/hangar lift in the front and rear, and has now officially entered service, becoming the first aircraft carrier in China.
The 300-year-long flight deck of this aircraft carrier is a piston fighter with no pressure on the P51 Mustang.
With the order in hand, Lin Mo quickly prepared, did not mount missiles, and went into battle lightly, but just loaded the two-wing machine gun with bullet chains as self-defense, hung two disposable auxiliary fuel tanks on the wings, and took some of his personal belongings, and took off directly on a single plane.
"Call 'Mustang'! Call 'Mustang'! This is 'Turtle', please reply when you hear it! ”
After refueling at the Lingshui Air Base in Sanya, Hainan, Lin Mo's P51 Mustang lifted off again and flew towards the designated coordinate area according to satellite navigation.
As soon as he entered the open sea, the radio station heard the voice of the tower of Sanya Lingshui Air Base, and the tower codenamed "Turtle" did not express too much surprise at the strange plane that Lin Mo passed by.
As an aviation professional, I naturally recognize this model that was very popular in World War II, with a maximum range of 3,860 kilometers, and can easily fly directly from Beijing to Sanya.
Of course, you can also start from Sanya, cross the South China Sea, and even fly over the Nansha Islands to Malaysia, and the superior asked Lin Mo to fly this old piston fighter to the rendezvous area on his own, which is also taking into account this reason, and the P51 has impeccable Xing ability in long-distance sailing.
"'Mustang' received! Tell me something. ”
Lin Mo turned on the light mirror technique and superimposed the radar screen, and began to routinely scan the surrounding 100 kilometers.
"According to meteorological satellite remote sensing, there may be seven-level wind and waves in the east longitude xx and north latitude xx area, and it is recommended to return to rest and wait for good meteorological conditions before passing."
It seems that Sanya Air Base has obtained the latest weather change data, and if the seven-level wind and wave are not well controlled, landing will be a troublesome matter.
"'Mustang' received, no problem! I can handle it! ”
Lin Mo is no stranger to flying in harsh climates, and when he was in the Silan Empire, he had fought to the death with the enemy air knights in raging storms many times with the gold coins.
"Stay safe! Wishing you a safe journey! ”
Because it is not a subordinate relationship, the "turtle" did not force Lin Mo to return home, as a pilot, self-discipline is necessary, just do it, if it doesn't work, it will not work, and it is absolutely not allowed to fly reluctantly in an uncontrollable environment, Lin Mo can say this, "Turtle" also believes that the other party can handle it.
