A month later, Chen Nian put down his studies and came to Shenyang 601 Institute.

For him, this is a big day, compared with the previous J-10 test flight and J-8 III test flight, the sensational effect that this test flight will create can be said to definitely not be an order of magnitude.

Because, this time, it is a fourth-generation aircraft that will fly.

A fourth-generation aircraft with super stealth performance, super maneuverability, supersonic cruise, and the only lack of situational awareness.

It seemed like a miracle and a dream, but when the dark gray plane slowly slid out of the hangar, everyone was clearly aware of one thing:

Our fourth-generation aircraft is really coming.

Lin Yongming was by Chen Nian's side, compared to him, Chen Nian was more like the protagonist - no, he is indeed the protagonist today, but due to confidentiality requirements, most of the staff participating in the test flight did not know him.

"It is estimated that it will take a few hours to check before takeoff, Xiao Nian, what do you say, do you want to follow along, or do you want to go shopping?"

Lin Yongming held a thermos cup in one hand and a Northeast burrito in the other, and asked leisurely.

If you don't know his face, I'm afraid no one can see that he is the number one here.

"Then let's take a stroll around the institute, just walk over to the test flight field-—— can I go around?"

Chen Nian remembered that when he came to the 601 Institute before, he couldn't enter most of the area yet, but with the Jian-10 and Jian-8 III going to the sky, coupled with the green light given to him by He Hongwen, his authority had reached an incredible height at this time.

"Absolutely...... In the future, this is your home, except for dangerous places, try not to go, you can just take the pass directly where you want to go, and the identity is all done for you. ”

"Okay...... Let's go. ”

The two left the assembly workshop together and walked in the direction of the test flight field, and just as they were on their way, a shadow flying in the air suddenly attracted Chen Nian's attention.

"This is the Aircraft Museum?"

He asked curiously.

"We call it Aviation Science and Technology Expo Park, which opened in 01, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Of course."

Chen Nian replied without hesitation.

In fact, in his previous life, he planned to visit this expo park several times, but each time he missed it for various reasons.

And this time, he's definitely going to have to take a good look.

Walking into the park, the first plane that appeared in front of him was a Jian-5.

Chen Nian stepped forward and reached out to touch the speed brakes on both sides of the belly, this was the first time he had seen this kind of design.

"It's a speed brake, it's an old design-—— it's an old plane."

"When it was born, I was just born."

"It was '51, and we were badly damaged by someone else's plane at S-KO, so we asked Lao Maozi for help, and they sent us a MiG-17."

"Just then, we began to copy this aircraft, but it was not until 56 that the J-5 officially made its first flight."

"You see, this is 56719, and this is the date of the first flight at that time - but it is not the real No. 1 aircraft, and the No. 1 aircraft was quickly scrapped due to a malfunction, which is a pity."

"If you look at its weapon system, air combat mainly relies on three cannons, and there are two hardpoints under the wings, which can hang 200 kilograms of aerial bombs."

"This set of weapons was the strongest weapon we could have at the time, but it wasn't enough to see compared to others."

"People already have fire control radars at that time, how can they fight?"

"But then again, we actually have a lot of records, whether it's in the east or south, we've all shot down, but"

"Every time you have a record, you have to fill it with a lot of lives."

Speaking of this, Lin Yongming sighed, and Chen Nian didn't say anything, just followed him and continued to walk forward.

"This is Jianjiao-1, there are not many stories, but we have a lot of pilots, all of whom grew up on this plane, and I have flown several times - of course I am not in the Air Force, I am just investigating."

"Oh, this is Jianjiao 6, this is Jian-6, and Jian-6 is a bit of a saying."

"Don't look at this thing, it looks backward in design now, his battle loss ratio is 0 to 26, and he has played F-4 and F10."

"It's still flying, you can see it."

"Even, a long time ago, it chased the SR-71"

Hearing this, Chen Nian's eyes couldn't help flashing.

An airplane more than 50 years ago had to compete with the most advanced high-speed reconnaissance planes, and the results were of course self-evident.

No matter which angle you think about it, there is an inexplicable sense of tragedy.

I know that I can't do it, although tens of millions of people have gone to it.

This is probably a resolute romance that belongs only to this nation.

Continuing to walk forward, Lin Yongming pointed to a plane and said:

"Recognize this, right? It's famous. ”

"Strong five, there is no return, indomitable, the maximum combat radius is only 600 kilometers, if you carry out ultra-low-altitude raids, the combat radius can not even reach 400."

"His only purpose is to carry a tactical nuclear bomb, use his body to accelerate the bomb to the penetration speed, and then throw the 100,000-ton bomb on the enemy's head."

"Hurricane No. 1, starting with Hurricane and ending with Hurricane."

"Now many of you young people call Jianba the eighth master, but in fact, in the eyes of our generation, the strong five is the master."

"It's so tragic, it's crazy, just like us back then. If two bullets are the sword of the republic, then it is the hand that holds the sword."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yongming shook his head.

"Now we don't need it, and hopefully we never need it again."

The two continued to walk forward, and Lin Yongming took Chen Nian to see Jian-7 and Jian-8 again, and finally stopped at the edge of the Expo Park.

At this time, the test flight site was already in their field of vision.

The dark gray fighter strolled down the runway, making final preparations before takeoff.

It's so calm, so confident, so graceful and powerful.

Compared to these old, backward, and even rusty fighters around Chen Nian, it is like an alien creation.

——

But.

Chen Nian knew.

Like the old fighters around him, it also came from the hands of a group of hot-blooded children.

Once, these "predecessors" guarded this piece of sky in an unbelievable way.

And now, the juniors have also picked up the burden that belongs to them.

In fact, the inheritance from generation to generation has never been interrupted.

"Let's go? It seems that our Canglong No. 1 is about to take off. ”

Lin Yongming asked.

Chen Nian was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Let's watch it here."

"That's fine."

The two stopped talking, and soon after, Lin Yongming's walkie-talkie heard Lei Gang's report, he gave a simple order, and with the countdown of Lei Gang, the fighter plane taxied to the take-off runway.

Flames gushed out, the vector vent adjusted the optimal spray angle, and after a short glide, Canglong No. 1 rose from the ground!

A huge roar sounded, literally like a dragon's groan.

The dark gray shadow shimmered in the sunlight with a charming light, Chen Nian looked at the shadow flying up and down in a daze, it seemed that there were a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word.

A few minutes later, Canglong swooped down, and then quickly pulled up and leveled, breaking through the sound barrier in the air at an astonishing speed, and quickly swept over the heads of Chen Nian and Lin Yongming.

The sound of the popping shook Chen Nian's eardrums, and the planes that had long since aged on the side also let out a slight, trembling moan.

At this moment, Chen Nian suddenly felt something.

New fighters have stepped onto the stage of their own.

But veterans don't die.

These veterans will never wither.
