In the clear sky, the "Mercury" business jet headed northwest and flew very smoothly.

In the cockpit, Long Yun was in the main cockpit and was concentrating on observing the situation inside and outside the cockpit. It was the first time to fly an airplane on a long-distance mission, and although I thought it was quite easy, it was better to be careful.

Having said that, flying a passenger plane was not a very pleasant experience for Long Yun.

Although it is able to fly into the blue sky and experience the comfortable and psychedelic feeling of traveling through the clouds, the passenger plane must be flat and stable in terms of structure and flight requirements, which makes Long Yun, who is accustomed to the temper of a fighter plane like a fierce horse, very uncomfortable.

Just like now, holding the steering wheel with both hands, in fact, the autopilot has completely taken over the control of the aircraft, Long Yun fantasizes that he is piloting a powerful and high-performance fighter plane, constantly making complex maneuvers to perform gorgeous maneuvers - but back to reality, what is presented in front of him is nothing more than the unchanged blue background and the calm flight display panel.

It's really a bit monotonous!

Long Yun's personality is not easy to adapt, but fortunately, his patience is quite strong.

When he was really bored, he looked at the air situation map provided by the navigation station, and sometimes he could see other aircraft flying in the same direction in the sky. But no matter how you look at it, it's just a small blur in the distant sky; In order to maintain flight safety, they were all arranged by the air traffic control center to stay away from each other as much as possible.

Before you know it, after more than an hour of flight, the plane has passed through the vast Mongolian steppe, crossed the border between China and Soviet Russia, and flew over the vast Siberia.

The sky outside the cabin is still an intoxicating blue; Because it is flying all the way to the west, it is tantamount to leading the footsteps of the sun, so the position of the sun at this time and the departure time hardly change. Flying at an altitude of several thousand meters, the monotonous background will make people feel hypnotized, Long Yun drinks a drink from time to time to refresh himself, this is the first time he has undertaken a passenger flight, but don't make any trouble.

There was a sound of the hatch opening from behind, and Long Yun turned around to find that the person who leaned in was Shangguan Ling.

"How's it going, is a qiē normal? Now where we are. ”

"Oh, no problem. Just crossed the border, and now presumably near Novosibirsk. ”

"We're refueling in the Moscow relay?"

"Yes." As he spoke, the flight control prompt sounded, and Long Yun saw the ground navigation information displayed on the screen, and told him that there were Soviet and Russian military aircraft passing by in the nearby airspace.

Fighters of the military? Long Yun felt that this situation was rare, and he opened the route to automatically avoid it according to the processing process.

In such an era of air traffic explosion, the previous air traffic control and navigation planning are no longer suitable for everyday use, because the routes and airspace have become more crowded than ever. For a large number of aircraft passing by temporarily, manual piloting is too dangerous, and the automatic guided vehicle can only be relied on to maintain a minimum safety distance, so as to maximize the use of airspace.

"What's wrong?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Shangguan Ling asked a little curiously.

"It's okay, the guidance station informs you that there are Air Force planes nearby; It should just be a passing by. ”

After a while, he saw a few small black dots dragging tracks in the air in front of him, which gradually grew larger and could see the outline clearly, and Long Yun recognized that they were a few rare military attack aircraft, the model seemed to be the Yak-47 type.

Right in front of the two of them, the tail vent of the assault plane that crossed the line of sight glowed with bright blue-blue flames, leaving white lines in the sky; The vast majority of the exhaust gas of hydrogen fuel engines is water vapor, which condenses when the temperature drops, leaving a faint white mark in the air. From a distance, the sharp and well-defined silhouettes of the raiders are very sci-fi, and their speed is so high that they staggered into the intended course of the business jet and disappeared from the sky almost instantly.

Such a rare scene, not only did Long Yun look for it for a long time and was fascinated, but even Shangguan Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt very novel.

"Long Yun, what kind of plane is that?"

"Oh, the assault aircraft of the Russian Air Force, the Yak-47. The domestic model is the Assault Type 7, referred to as the Qiang-7. ”

The name Qiang-X has been used in China for attack aircraft, such as the Qiang-5 that many people are familiar with, and the Qiang-6 that few people know, a dying model with a variable swept wing design.

On the modern battlefield, the air defense capability of the ground forces has been continuously enhanced, and the tactical value of the traditional attack aircraft has rapidly declined, and it is no longer suitable for the air force to use it as a means of ground attack. Therefore, there is no successor to the domestic attack aircraft, and this title is idle. Until the emergence of the epoch-making assault machine, this name was borrowed, and even the numbering continued to be in the back row using the old tradition, but it was also in the same vein.

“…… Strong-7? China also has such aircraft? Why are there two models of one aircraft. "Shangguan Ling seemed to be very interested in the scene just now, and actually started chatting with Long Yun about such a topic." I see, it's a copy of the plane, like the Su-27 and J-11. ”

Sue twenty-seven? J-11?

Long Yun tilted his head strangely and looked at Shangguan Ling carefully. Unexpectedly, she still has a little background knowledge of fighter aircraft, which is rare among women.

"Ahem, the model of Su Twenty-Seven is generally called Su Twenty-seven. -- The situation of the Qiang-7 is different, it is jointly developed by China and Soviet Russia; At present, the military aircraft of the two countries are basically cooperatively developed and produced, so there will be one type of aircraft and two models. ”

"Oh. -- The plane was flying so fast. ”

Long Yun nodded, the attack aircraft and the fighter aircraft are not the same, because the power is abundant, and the cruising speed is quite easy to reach more than Mach 2. However, Shangguan Ling's next words made Long Yun cry and laugh a little: "How much does it cost?" Not sure what it feels like to sit on it. ”

Come on, that's a Raider!

How much is a bar, that's another question - the question is where to buy it? With hydrogen crystals as fuel, this advanced weapon is much more tightly controlled than the high-performance fighter-bombers of twenty or thirty years ago, and it is basically the most difficult to get hold of except for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. As for the rich people who bought it as a means of transportation...... Don't even think about it.

"Well, it's about one or two billion. And the fuel is also expensive, quite a money-burning thing. ”

Seeing Shangguan Ling's surprised eyes, Long Yun smiled a little proudly. That's a scary number, isn't it? As far as he knew, the annual turnover of his young employer's company was only two or three billion.

"So expensive! Forget it. Shangguan Ling had apparently lost interest in the topic again, and instead looked at the display and instrument arrangement on the bridge. Not only that, but she tentatively reached out and shook the steering wheel, "Can I move now?" ”

"Oh, no problem."

Long Yun thought to himself that it had been set up for automatic driving anyway, and no control on the co-pilot's side would take effect now, so she would simply let her go. With Long Yun's permission, Shangguan Ling looked left and right a little curiously, seemingly interested in the control of the plane, and asked Long Yun some questions from time to time.

Someone was chatting, and time seemed to fly by; Departing early in the morning, the plane arrived at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport at 3 p.m. Beijing time.
