After checking the necessary parameters and comparing them with the number of the competition center, Wang Gong helped his glasses and concluded that there was no problem.

In the case of private modification, the performance of some parameters of the fighter can be improved, but it will affect the stability and safety of the flight, and the manufacturer's warranty will be lost; Although there are quite a few fighter modification enthusiasts in each major team, and there are many modified aircraft competitions among the people, almost no one will use them in important events such as IFT trials.

Otherwise, once discovered, disqualification is a trivial matter, and Yan zhòng's aviation license will be cancelled immediately, which is equivalent to closing the door for the team.

In fact, with Wang Gong's rich experience and the countless game replays he has watched over the years, even if he does not conduct detailed testing, he does not think that there is anything wrong with the "Chenlong" fighter. As for their two victories, it really has little to do with the performance of the fighters themselves, in addition to the superb skills of the fighters - especially their long planes - there are also some factors of the opponent's underestimation and lack of strength.

Even so, looking at the young man in front of him, Wang Gong couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity.

In the fierce competition of the IFT qualifiers, the use of a classic aircraft such as the J-7IIM is already rare; It was the first time he had seen such a thing as a two-game winning streak and go straight to the semifinals.

"The inspection is fine, don't worry! Good job, boys, your skills are really good. ”

"Where, let Wang Gong and everyone bother!"

After sending the people from the technical department away, Long Yun and Liu Wei helped the ground crew pilots sort out the messy equipment and tools in the hangar, and pushed the two J-7IIMs to the ground on one side and parked them together. In the tall hangar that was originally very rich in space, it was only barely enough to accommodate two new fighters, and Long Yun thought at this time that if they bought the J-11B at that time, then their hangar really couldn't fit those two big bodies.

After many days of anxious waiting, the next morning, when the plane was ready to be picked up, the trailer of the sales company towed the two J-10A fighters that had been inspected.

With the gray air superior paint at the time of the factory, the sharp shape is sharp, and the two J-10A are quietly parked in front of the hangar door of the "Chenlong" team, and the morning sun is sprinkled on the brand-new body without hesitation, and the neat skin is glowing with a faint clean luster. After hurriedly looking around the new fighter, Long Yun didn't care about the novelty, so he immediately beckoned everyone to drag the fighter into the constant temperature and humidity hangar for acceptance and maintenance, fortunately, the part-time pilots hired at a high price were very familiar with the huge number of J-10 series fighters, and Long Yun and Liu Wei helped and sensibly got to know their new cars.

After most of the day's hard work, the two brand-new and beautiful J-10A were finally accepted and quietly parked in a clean and tidy hangar. Taking a group photo with Chengfei's after-sales technicians and ground crew pilots in front of the fighter plane, Long Yun only entered a state at this time, confirming that this was not a dream; Raising his hand to touch the nose skin of the fighter, he really realized that "Chenlong" finally had his own third-generation fighter plane, and he could play the next games more confidently.

This big step towards the IFT journey has been taken solidly and powerfully.

After receiving two expensive J-10A, there was no time to appreciate them in detail, and the adaptive training of the "Chenlong" was immediately launched.

For flight safety reasons, Long Yun did not rush to fly the new fighter into the air in the past two days, but continued to practice the basic control and simple tactical cooperation of the J-10A fighter with Liu Wei on the simulator. Unlike the Seventh Master, which has relatively weak power, the J-10A can choose more maneuver strategies in air combat, and it is more difficult to master; Of course, radar and fire control systems are also key training targets, and over-the-horizon combat is already familiar to Long Yun, but Liu Wei has never fought before, and it is not yet the time for a live-fire test in the sky -- although the "Chenlong" now has new fighters, the funds are still not abundant, and it seems that the training for over-the-horizon combat will still be put after this group stage.

In this way, in addition to the daily simulator training, Long Yun has decided to still use the relatively familiar J-7IIM to deal with the "Thunder", or after the other teams know that they have purchased the J-10A and it is regarded as a shotgun change, they unexpectedly continue to use the seventh master to deal with the opponent.

Time came to the end of October in a blink of an eye, and "Chenlong" ushered in the third opponent of his qualifying group: "Thunder".

For the "Thunder" with a previous record of one win and one loss, the name seems to be amazing, but in fact, this is not the case in the information that Long Yun and the others have collected. In the last IFT, the team participated in the North China Qualifiers and was eliminated in the first round of semi-finals; In the last two editions of IFT, the team also participated in the North China Regional Qualifiers, and advanced to the national selection tournament as the second place in the region - that is, the results fluctuated greatly, isn't it strange?

Seeing the ups and downs of this team's record, and thinking about that weird Qi Hui, Long Yun was a little worried; The situation of this team has been good and bad, what is going on?

Although he has not been in the aviation competition circle for a long time, Long Yun has already understood that it is not only the skill of the players that is competing in the gladiatorial arena of aviation competition, but also the operation of the team and the economic strength of the sponsors often play an important role; In the case of "Thunder", it is probably that the main players of the team retire, or are poached, or they may change the backstage boss, which is all possible.

But no matter what, this is a game about the team's qualification, and Long Yun is determined to win.

……

October 19 is the originally scheduled group stage day of Group F.

In the early morning, the rain and fog were shrouded, and there were not a few people in the originally lively aviation training base, on the runway, and next to the hangar. The sudden rain and fog were not conducive to the dispatch of fighters, and the game was postponed by one day for safety reasons.

Came to the team's temporary lounge early in the morning, but what he was waiting for was the news of the postponement of the game, Wang Feng, the captain of the "Thunder" team, sat on a chair and looked up at the sky, his slender eyes did not blink for a long time, and he didn't know what mood he was in now.

His mood may not even be clear to himself.

Since coming to "Thunder", it is already the fifth year. In this once glorious team, he has experienced the ups and downs of a strong team almost the whole time; Now they are finally able to fly fighter planes to participate in the qualifiers, but not because they stand out from the strong, but because of this once huge team, now only a few pilots remain.

Just before the qualifiers, Wang Feng and his partner went to meet their sponsors, and from the indifferent face of the manager, he didn't see where the future and hope of this team were. After a dismal performance in recent years, the sponsors did not blame their own support or arbitrary interference in the team's internal affairs, but simply blamed them for their poor training and failure to do well in the tournament.

Before leaving, the sponsor sent a message that if they could not enter the national selection competition this time, they would resell all the fighters of the team for sale, and they would have to find their own way to train and compete in the future.

Without fighters, what is the difference between a competitive aviation team and disbandment?

Indeed, when they first entered the North China qualifiers, the entire "Thunder" was in such a state, and no one expected them to go far.

Except for that person.

Lowering his head and looking around, he was alone in the somewhat deserted lounge; The unfathomable and unfathomable fellow didn't come this morning; He hadn't learned the lesson of forgetting the time in the last game and arriving at the airport late when his captain Wang Feng had been beaten down - such an unreliable person, if the team hadn't been reduced to this, how could he let him sign up to team up with him!

Even so, thinking of the scene of the first battle of "Thunder", Wang Feng still unconsciously shrank his pupils.

has been in the circle for many years, Wang Feng is not said to be experienced in a hundred battles, at least he has seen too many aerial battles; But ask yourself, he's never seen such a powerful combat technique. In the tense and fierce aerial duel, only he, a bystander, really knew what level that guy's strength had reached.

In the game against "Uranus", I witnessed the blue-blue J-10A soaring in the sky, leaving behind a gorgeous navigation trajectory; The long plane piloted by Wang Feng had been completely ignored by him, and at that moment, it was as if all the other beings in the sky were just dispensable embellishments on the screen—that person, he was clearly not fighting, and he was completely ignoring the existence of any opponent; The sky dance of manipulating the fighter plane, Wang Feng, who is also a veteran flyer, can feel that he just wants to fly.

Yes, just want to fly in the sky without restraint.

The opponent who is angry and never able to seize the opportunity dances in vain in the sky; Such a scene, if it is not immersive in the airplane, it is impossible to truly experience. It seemed like a chaotic aerial brawl, but it was always under the control of that person; It wasn't until both sides were running out of fuel that he suddenly broke free from his dreams and shot down a target in a continuous roll of his approach.

The 1:0 record was obtained out of thin air, but if it weren't for his bizarre behavior, they could have defeated their opponents cleanly.

After the game, Wang Feng also asked the stinky guy why he didn't attack with all his might.

The answer he got made him a little baffled:

"Knock out the opponent? That would have been easy. I just want to fly a little longer. ”
