Chapter 692: The Flame Dragon is in the Sky

Yes, isn't such a powerful thing as a raider an air tank that can fight and fly?

Thinking about it like this, after walking a few steps, as the perspective gradually changed, a pair of axisymmetric vector vents appeared in the tail of the "Yanlong" in Long Yun's field of vision.

Standing on the ground and observing from a close distance, unlike the sharp and slender nose of the "Yanlong", the diameter of the tail nozzle of the huge atomic hydrogen engine is naturally not small, and the black hole nozzle with a visual diameter of almost three meters is undergoing deflection debugging in different directions at this time; However, unlike the random sheep herding just now, Lu Chunjiang on the side rushed over a few steps at this time, and asked him to immediately turn around and walk away with his back to the fighter:

"Hey! Young man, you can't look at this, the upper limit of the deflection angle of the vector spout is strictly confidential. Just turn your back and walk away, yes, come this way, and wait for a while to see the fighter take off! ”

"Understood, Colonel Land!"

"Hehe, it's actually okay to call me Lao Lu. - Anyway, just stand here, let's just wait here and take a look. ”

Arriving at the predetermined position first, Lu Chunjiang beckoned Long Yun to walk to the side of the airport runway about 150 meters away from "Yanlong", and seeing that the take-off preparations of the attack plane were ready, he asked Long Yun to turn around and find a place to prepare for a good view. As for himself, at this time, he sat down quite easily by the drainage canal on the side of the runway, and at some point there was an extra cigarette in his hand:

"Young man, have one?"

"Uh, thank you! I don't smoke. ”

Long Yun politely declined the cigarette handed by Colonel Lu, which seemed a little rude, but he really never smoked it. So I didn't have anything to say, so I asked:

"Here we are. Isn't it a little further away from the runway? ”

"Oh? Runway. Hehe! ”

Waved his hand very heartily, Lu Chunjiang didn't feel embarrassed at all, in fact, he took out his cigarette out of habit, and everyone in the base actually paid attention to abiding by the anti-smoking regulations. Sniffing the cigarette and putting it in his ear, the colonel chuckled smugly twice before answering, "Take a good look at the ground over there." In fact, there must be a narrative on the Internet, and this is not a secret, I guess you didn't think of it for a while, right? ”

“…… Oh? ”

Hearing Colonel Qi's words, Long Yun stretched his neck and looked at the place where the "Yanlong" was, to be honest, he was looking at the fighter plane when he approached just now, and he really didn't pay attention to the situation on the ground. But now he's paying extra attention. With his extraordinary eyesight, he suddenly realized that the ground where the X-8 "Yanlong" was parked was not an ordinary cement slab apron, but a large dark black board was laid in the center, and the faint burn marks also reminded him that the black area should be the take-off area for the fighters to take off and land vertically.

In this way, this "Yanlong" is going to take off vertically, right?

While speculating like this, Long Yun tilted his head to look at Colonel Qi sitting next to him, who nodded slightly to him, he was completely sure of the claims on the Internet, and he also knew that the videos were not fake, and the X-8 "Yanlong" in front of him did have the ability to take off and land vertically.

"A high-speed interceptor capable of vertical take-off and landing" is a fantasy for fighter jets. But it's normal for assault planes.

Not to mention anything else, the design idea is partly inherited from the J-8I "Yanlong". It is not only a strong attack aircraft that is good at high-speed volleys, but also has practical vertical take-off and landing capabilities; Although this is not a novelty for the X-8 with a powerful engine and a front-assisted lift engine, the contrast between the two is indeed too obvious compared to the "Eight Masters" with a take-off speed of more than 300 kilometers!

Here Long Yun was still secretly sighing, the attacking plane in the distance was ready to take off, and he only saw a pilot in a bloated anti-load suit walking towards the "Yanlong" and climbing up to the cockpit through a boarding ladder hanging down from the front of the fuselage.

Within a few minutes, seeing the air in the tail of the "Yanlong" twisting and fluttering, and the lift engine nozzle in the middle of the fuselage opening, Long Yun only heard the whistling sound of the engine speed increase gradually rising in his ears; From a distance of hundreds of meters, he could also feel that the airflow activity in the take-off area was intensifying, and Long Yun, who had witnessed the take-off of the attack plane for the first time, and it was also taking off vertically, had his eyes open to the maximum, his body was motionless, and he felt this shocking feeling with bated breath.

To Long Yun's surprise, the "Yanlong", which weighed hundreds of tons, took off very quickly.

In an instant, with the rapid development of the atomic hydrogen engine, I saw the X-8A, whose wings were folded and ready to take off, trembled, and then took off into the air with very obvious acceleration; Different from the traditional vertical take-off and landing fighters, the process of taking off from the ground of the "Yanlong" is not at all muddy and watery, under the support of three bright tail flames in front of the front and two behind, the gray stout body of the assault aircraft jumps up like a giant bird with wings spread, accompanied by the thunder of the engine operation, it only takes more than ten seconds to complete the lifting lightly, and then accelerate away.

Witnessing this spectacular scene on the side of the runway, his ears were filled with bursts of whistling sound of air currents, and when Long Yun finally recovered from the shock, the "Yan Dragon" that was close in front of him a moment ago had already dragged the blue tail flame whistling away, turning into an imperceptible vague bright spot in the sky, leaving only the distant roar of the fighter plane accelerating echoing in his ears.

The take-off is so beautiful!

Seeing the "Yan Dragon" speeding away suddenly disappearing into the sky, Long Yun almost couldn't help but clap his hands, this guy flew so fast, even taking off could be completed in an instant!

Although before this, he had also seen some video scenes of the assault plane taking off in the media, not to mention that there was no video of the vertical take-off of the "Yanlong", and many of the content was still 3D simulation works by enthusiasts with fake and real ones; Just talking about this kind of amazing sense of presence, witnessing the powerful and powerful fighter plane qì volleying in the air, this shocking feeling is by no means something that can be experienced by staying at home on the Internet and with the help of surround sound.

In this way, standing on the side of the airport runway, he was stunned, until he was woken up by Lu Chunjiang patting his shoulder, and when the two walked to the off-road vehicle together, Long Yun was still completely immersed in the scene he had just witnessed; At this moment, it seemed that his whole spirit was still attracted by the "Yan Dragon", and he followed the fighter plane that pierced the blue sky and flew to the high and endless sky.

With a murderous body, abundant and powerful firepower configuration, and the flight performance that completely surpasses the fighter jet, this is the strongest aerial weapon that Long Yun has ever dreamed of and wants to control in the air!

At this moment, the on-site witness of a strong attack plane, like a torch thrown into the pyre, ignited Long Yun's mood at once.

The dream buried deep in the bottom of my heart seems to be burning and rising in an instant; This feeling of boiling blood made Long Yun unconsciously clench his fists.

Yes, this is a dream of fighting in the sky, a desire to control the strongest fighters!

How many bloody air battles have he experienced, this familiar feeling, he will never be mistaken.

……

Half an hour later, inside an office building at Miyun Air Base.

Having had the privilege of witnessing the spectacular scene of the "Yanlong" rising into the air before, coming to the base office building and sitting on the sofa on the side of the office, Long Yun was still a little excited, and he had not completely woken up from the excitement.

However, unlike the young man in front of him who looked excited, he led Long Yun to the office of the regiment headquarters and sat down at the concisely arranged desk.

Oh, speaking of which, did Lao Yang tell him before......

Looking at the young man sitting on the sofa, Colonel Lu's eyes scanned back and forth for a moment, with his many years of experience as a professional soldier, it was easy to roughly deduce that the young man named Long Yun in front of him was indeed a good material for piloting aircraft; This young man, not only has sharp eyes, but also has a strong physique, and it should be no problem to resist the large overload of violent maneuvers. In short, although his identity is only a team player who participates in aviation competitions, since Lao Yang can fancy his personal ability, then-

But even so, the contrast between a hairy boy who participates in aviation competition and a pilot of a main aviation division is too great!

After all, when it comes to joining the Air Force, it is different from fighting skills and consciousness in aviation competitions, and real combat readiness training considers the pilot's comprehensive technical level and tactical literacy, in addition to having to say that willpower is also very important -- to put it bluntly, a competition is a competition after all, and fighting a war is not the same thing at all: there is no fair knightly duel on the battlefield, and some just do not hesitate to fight for victory, these two kinds of behavior with completely different ends and means, except that they use fighter planes, Actually, there really aren't many other things in common.

Yes, that's it!

And how to say it, in addition to that......

Thinking of this, Colonel Lu raised his hand and moved the mouse to open Long Yun's profile on the computer in front of him.

While clicking to read, Lu Chunjiang also thought that after listening to the meaning of Yang Guangwu's words before, not only did he think that this young man had excellent skills and could be summoned to the command of their Fifth Division, but also vaguely had some other considerations, as if he was deliberately testing to see if he could join the assault group using the "Yanlong"——

This, how to say this!

It's even more incredible......

With doubts and a hint of negation, Lu Chunjiang browsed the pages on the computer and looked at the information materials downloaded from the army network; Noticing that this young man named Long Yun had studied at the Fourth Aviation School in Shijiazhuang before, but later quit halfway because of the "loss of spatial sense", and did not know much about this rare disease, the colonel did not feel anything abnormal.

In this way, he browsed back and forth for a while, but he didn't find any background information from the profile that was enough to confirm this person's strength. (To be continued......)
