You have to have a plane to sign up, right?

Long Yun was a little depressed now.

It's not that he doesn't understand the significance of this system: since it is a competition, the fighter used must of course be certified, otherwise with the current level of technology, then don't make the fighter the same as a modified car?

For example, if the outdated J-7 is equipped with a small AESA radar, equipped with a PL-15 active radar-guided missile, relying on the generation difference in missile weapons, it will directly explode all models of the F-16 without pressure!

In that case, you won't be able to play it at all.

But...... For the "Chenlong", which does not have a single fighter yet, where can I find a fighter to sign up?

That's right, after discussing with Liu Wei before, they planned to rent fighters from other teams to use. But now it seems that the registration is about to end, but the plane has not landed, which makes Long Yun quite anxious.

Probably seeing that he was a little dazed, Liu Wei touched his arm with his elbow, and then smiled at the young man: "Ah, in this case, let's go back and figure out the model or something, and come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to sign up." Thank you! ”

Walking out of the office building, Long Yun and Liu Wei looked at each other. After a moment of silence, the two men spoke almost simultaneously:

"Hurry up and get a plane!"

Oh my God, what are these words, it seems that I am in a hurry.

About half an hour later, Liu Wei and Long Yun appeared in the lobby of the Beijing Aircraft Trading Center.

There is no way, although the two of them have repeatedly discussed it on the road, and they feel that with their financial situation, it is a little difficult to even rent a fighter; But in order to understand the market and hope for a little eventuality, they still came to the aircraft trading center with a rather meager start-up capital, thinking that it would be good to see the situation.

Walking around the central hall, Long Yun looked at the various models of fighter planes, trainer planes, and civilian business jets parked in the exhibition area with some greed, while looking through the tablet in his hand, and sighed at those huge numbers.

Originally, they came here mainly to be optimistic about the manufacturer's exemption advantages; Unless the customer has special needs, the fighters sold by airlines generally meet the technical standards of the IFU (International Fighter Federation), that is, the standard models that meet the requirements of the IFT competition, and can be directly entered without testing.

For a situation like Long Yun's, it is of course good to be able to save detection and time; But when they see those offers, they can only sigh.

J-10A "Raptor", 1.4 billion; J-11B "Diplodocus", 1.8 billion; Some of the third-generation and half-generation models, the J-10B cost about 200 million yuan, and even the FC-1 "Thunder", which is recognized as the most economical, is quoted at more than 80 million yuan. These prices are much cheaper than they were a few years ago, when fighter planes were still sold as arms, but they are still far beyond their affordability.

Oh, and of course, on the other row of furnishing models, they can see lower prices; But those are trainers, and they are also essential for many teams.

Looking at it this way, the price of the training aircraft is obviously lower, but a minimum jet training aircraft, such as a light aircraft like the K-8, also needs close to 30 million yuan, which is really not a small amount of money.

Long Yun immediately estimated that even if he didn't eat or drink, it would take sixty years to buy such an aircraft. God, if he is still alive by then, he will probably be in a wheelchair and need to be pushed out by the nursing staff every day to bask in the sun.

And even with a trainer, so what?

A training model like the K-8 is not enough for team members to practice those superb fighting skills, let alone compete in the IFT qualifiers. Not to mention the various projects and expenses introduced in the manual: a full flight of the K-8 will cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in fuel; Routine maintenance and overhaul, 60,000 yuan at a time; There are hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of recyclable combat missiles, but there is no guarantee that they will be successfully recycled every time. There are also a large number of other entries, which make Long Yun feel that this matter is burning money.

After watching it all the way like this, although it was an over-the-top addiction, Long Yun was completely dead to the purchase of fighters like Liu Wei. Not to mention the brand-new fighter here, it is a second-hand fighter in another hall, they looked at it when they passed by just now, and the offer is not something they may accept.

"Liu Wei, in your understanding, the aircraft that the team has purchased must also be tested before they can participate?"

"Well, that's usually the case. Unless it is an original model that has not undergone any changes, but we can only rent the old model with this money now, then testing is inevitable. ”

Liu Wei thought about it and felt that it was better for them to focus on the eliminated models of other teams. Although such a fighter is estimated to be quite reluctant, whether it can be used as a participating machine in the qualifiers depends on how strong the technical ability of Long Yun, the captain, is.

"Okay, why don't we go and ask the 'sonic' you're staying in now?" Long Yun seemed to remember something, and added: "There is another important thing, we have to set aside some funds to buy a battle simulator." ”

"Simulators?" Liu Wei didn't expect this.

"Yes. Buy two old simulators and we use them for training. ”

After the quotation research just now, Long Yun learned that the fighter is not only expensive, but also expensive to use in ordinary times; Not to mention other expenses, as soon as the upper button is pressed and the missile flies, tens of thousands of yuan will be wasted. A team like them, which is just starting out and is strapped for money, can only do limited adaptive training even if they lease fighters; For high-intensity flights like drills, tactics, and feel, the simulator only needs to pay a little bit for electricity, which is much less than the real thing.

"Oh! Yes! I've been a bit dizzy these days, and the simulator must have! Liu Wei immediately thought of this, and he rubbed his hands together and nodded. I'll put the model or something aside for now, and I'll go to 'Sonic' tomorrow and ask. They're a big team with too much equipment to count, and they might be able to help us with that. ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Long Yun and Liu Wei agreed on their respective tasks tomorrow, and then went home.

……

Put the car into the garage, Long Yun, who came out of the elevator, greeted Su Xue casually, only to get a vague response. He changed his clothes and went into the kitchen, and found that she was still busy cooking, but there was no lively look on her face, as if she was distressed about something.

"Su Xue, what's wrong with you?" Although Long Yun is not a very careful person, he can still see such a change in feelings. This little girl usually doesn't have a bad mood, but now what problems are she encountering?

"Ah, actually...... Actually, it's because of the newcomer award. Facing Long Yun, Su Xue felt that she had found someone to talk to, so she told him everything about the past few days.

On that night just a few days ago, Su Xue won the Newcomer of the Year Award.

For Su Xue, who is immersed in the world of piano, this should certainly be good news; But in the next few days, the development of this whole thing made her a little unexpected.

Those media reporters, informants and "insiders" who are pervasive and have a keen sense of smell like a hyena are naturally extremely concerned about this much-anticipated piano competition; After the competition and before the awards, the qiē that happened on the judges' bench naturally became the focus of their reports or hype.

Just the day after the game, someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that they saw Wang Yuxiao take people to Tang Wenyuan's residence, and the two sides seemed to have quarreled. For this star who is in the limelight and has a strong personality, this kind of thing can be said to be quite unusual; And Tang Wenyuan's gaffe words and deeds during the review and discussion made many people look suspiciously at Su Xue, whom he supported.

Within two days, the surveillance video of Tang Wenyuan's community circulated on the Internet, showing that Su Xue had been to Tang Wenyuan's house, and some gossip websites also began to speculate about the front and back, so all kinds of "insiders" began to fly all over the sky.

Of course, Long Yun didn't know all these things, but Su Xue was deeply affected. That night, when she was eating, she found that her expression was a little gloomy, and Long Yun asked her a few words of concern.

"Me? It's true that I've been in a bad mood lately. Su Xue shook her head, as if she was a little aggrieved and lowered her head to play with the dishes on the plate. You've never cared about entertainment news, have you? ”

"Entertainment news?" Long Yun was indeed completely ignoring these things. "What's wrong?"

"I ...... It feels like someone has been splashed with dirty water on your face, and it's very uncomfortable. There was helplessness in her words, but a reluctant smile appeared on her face. Because of the rookie competition before, do you remember? The whole thing is rather weird, but I really didn't expect the imagination and randomness of these gossip to be so amazing. ”

Nodding in agreement, Long Yun could feel Su Xue's depressed mood. Those things in the entertainment industry are known to everyone on the earth, and he has naturally heard of them; For a girl like Su Xue who is new to society and has just entered the industry, it is not easy to adapt to the muddy environment.

And frankly speaking, he thinks that a girl like Su Xue who is smart and innocent is really not suitable for activities in this circle.

"I don't think you should pay too much attention to it." Long Yun was still thinking about renting a fighter, and to be honest, he was a little new. "Didn't you say that there is hype to be famous?"

"What nonsense are you talking about," Su Xue looked at him angrily, but knowing that he was just talking casually, he didn't take it too seriously. "People don't want to have such popularity. Now, I just want to live my life in peace and play to those who want to listen to it, so that it is good to be peaceful. ”

"Hehe," Long Yun knew about Su Xue's feelings, but he was just talking casually. "I don't mean that, but I mean that society is like this, and we can only actively adapt to this society. Didn't you tell me before, there are many things we can't change, so we can only accept them? ”

Hearing Long Yun say this, Su Xue may not have thought so, but she immediately knew what he was referring to through the guò consciousness snooping technique, so she smiled in response. At that time, at Beijing South Railway Station, she stopped Long Yun from exposing the thief, probably out of the same consideration?

“…… Probably, what you said also has some truth. ”
