Chapter 1159 Test Flight in Progress 1
This time I entered the Weasel Factory just as an ordinary engineer. Although it is difficult for employees to admit that they are ordinary engineers, they must first restrain themselves. Professor Yankodovsky has already devoted too much to the project, so he cannot replace people at this time; that would be the same as burning the donkey by burning the mill or burning the bridge across the river.
Fortunately, they are all engineers. It is a bit awkward to give orders to the boss, but it is not unacceptable. Yankodovsky is a university professor and often gives classes to prominent students, otherwise he might not adapt so quickly.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary engineer, so he might be more familiar with research and development work. Bao Zixuan completely abandoned the aura of the richest man and began to strictly demand himself as an engineer.
Professionalism is one thing, but more importantly, he likes his current job. It can be regarded as a kind of memory! At the same time, I also understand that as wealth increases and children get older, such opportunities will be pitifully rare in the future.
Software skills that are decades ahead of this era allow us to get things done very quickly. At least when writing code, it will be more concise. Seeing the boss working so hard makes it impossible for the employees to get along; this is a good time to show off.
With Bao Zixuan joining, not only are the ideas more advanced, many problems can be solved quickly, and the most important thing is that engineers work more seriously than before. It can be said that the Weasel Factory has exerted its strongest strength now.
Everyone has very little time to rest every day. As long as he has energy, he will immediately devote himself to work. Yankodovsky was speechless for a while. If he had worked so hard earlier, maybe the project would have been completed.
In the blink of an eye, one week later, the first prototype was assembled and entered the testing phase.
Seeing the circular saucer-shaped aircraft in front of me that has not yet been painted, it has a dazzling metallic luster all over it. Bao Zixuan was very emotional. Even if no company in the future develops such advanced products, Heiyun has once again come to the forefront. The unique luster of titanium metal shines on people's faces. For engineers, this may be the best gift.
At the same time, Bao Zixuan was also lamenting what German scientists went through during World War II and why weapons design was so advanced. Did he really obtain alien technology or be possessed by aliens? Otherwise, the explanation is completely different; even he, a time traveler who specializes in aviation, cannot do this.
Fortunately, only China and the Soviet Union have large stocks of titanium metal. If the incredible German engineers get it, it is simply unimaginable what miracles they will create.
The completion of assembly is only the first step, and the next step is static testing. After all, it has to fly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. Even if you have confidence in the product, you cannot be so hasty. The problem must be discovered on the ground. Once in the sky, engineers will not have the final say.
Fortunately, there were large-scale industrial computers for simulation before. At least in this field, Heiyun Group definitely ranked first in the world. The division of labor among engineers is very clear and the responsibilities are assigned to each individual. Whoever is in charge has been tested; if there is a serious mistake, it means that the work in Heiyun is over. No one dares to be sloppy and is worried that something will go wrong.
After a day of detailed testing, the Black Cloud UFO met the test flight conditions.
Now that everything is going well, what are you waiting for? The project has been going on for half a year, and engineers are human beings too. I'm worried if I don't go home for a long time. Many people have family matters. Fortunately, they all live in the Heiyun employee area, so there hasn't been any bloody drama.
The employee handbook clearly stipulates that any employee involved in seducing a colleague's girlfriend or wife is prohibited from doing so. They will all be fired, never employed, and reported to the entire society. Bao Capital has absolutely zero tolerance for this.
The black cloud flying saucer has a diameter of 11.3 meters, the highest height in the middle is 2.38 meters, and the edge height is 0.6 meters. However, three telescopic wheels are designed, so that the landing height is 3.3 meters. It can accommodate three people inside; they are the driver, the driver, and the mechanical engineer; the co-pilot also serves as the radar officer.
The three people are arranged in a triangular layout, with the positive and negative drivers in front, and they can see the scene ahead through the 120-degree window.
The field of view is still good, especially when the pilot's eyesight is very good, he can see more clearly. Bao Shoufu came to the cab and felt it. The overall layout was relatively reasonable and most importantly, very simple. When the Germans designed it, there were no electronic computers, let alone LCD monitors; they all used instrument panels, unlike today where everything is solved with just a few screens.
However, due to the size of the flying saucer, the cockpit can only be entered from the bottom; the pilots are very skilled, so it is not impossible to get in.
Most of the New Territories are covered by black clouds, and aircraft rarely enter the territory. Moreover, after obtaining a military license, there are many benefits; low-altitude aircraft do not need to be specially registered, as long as they fly within the scope.
Early the next morning, the engineers who were supposed to take turns were not going to take a break either. After all, today is a very important day for them. If the test flight is successful, it means that half a year of hard work has been in vain; if it fails, I don’t know what to do.
In fact, many people have thought about failure, but they just don’t know what to do after failure. After all, I have done countless simulations on the computer before, and I can find that all the problems have been solved. Moreover, the overall design is based on mature German products, and even the appearance dimensions are restored one to one. It's just that the control system, power system, and electronic system are too old. As the most technologically advanced technology company in the world, Heiyun will not be eliminated if it uses various subsystems left by the Germans during World War II.
Whether it is simulated wind or real wind tunnel testing, the effect is perfect. Engineers are not confident and cannot find a reason to fail.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all three crew members were in place. They had conducted countless simulated flights underground before, and were already very familiar with the various control buttons of the flying saucer.
Heiyun Group has once again taken the lead in this regard. Every time a new aircraft is developed, it needs to build a one-to-one simulated flight cockpit on the ground. This is not only for the safety of the pilot, but also to maximize the safety of the aircraft.
Only if you are very familiar with it on the ground can you calmly deal with problems when they arise in the sky. In peacetime, when it comes to flight safety issues, private companies do not dare to cut corners or cheat. At that time, being labeled as rich and unkind may be the lightest title.
Sabochuk is a retired Soviet pilot who previously worked on the aircraft-carrying cruiser Kiev. Because of the last Fusha war, it was related to the Heiyun Group. I don’t want to continue serving in the military, and I like challenging work. Therefore, the family moved to Xiangjiang, and their children are currently studying at Heiyun Middle School.
He has Yak-38 vertical take-off and landing experience, and has served as a test pilot in the Soviet army, although his loyalty still needs to be considered. But my family is all in Xiangjiang, so I don’t dare to cause any trouble.
Sabochuk did not expect to be assigned the task so quickly. It seemed that joining the Heiyun Group was really the right choice. Flying more aircraft has been his dream since childhood. Heiyun Group is another group with strong technological strength. The most important boss, Bao Zixuan, can always create miracles. In addition, the salary and benefits are five times that of the Soviet army, and that is still the official exchange rate; if calculated according to the black market exchange rate, it may be more than ten times. After all, no country in the world particularly recognizes the ruble; but both the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar are very popular currencies.
The treatment of Heiyun Group is notoriously good, and there is no comparison between the Soviet military and others. Although he served in the Soviet army, it was to protect his family and the country. But he has made too many contributions to the country, and it is time to repay his family.
My daughter is already in middle school, but the number of times the woman sees her is pitiful and there is no time to spend with her at all. Every time he wanted to buy the favorite toy for his daughter, his salary was not enough, so in the end he had to give up.
After receiving the settlement allowance from Heiyun Group, it was the first time he saw the smiles of his wife and daughter. Therefore, I especially cherish this hard-won opportunity, otherwise it would be impossible to stand out among many groups and become the main pilot of the Black Cloud UFO for its first test flight.
In fact, Sabochuk's ability to stand out among many groups has a lot to do with his service in Poland. Good Polish allowed him to communicate better with Chief Engineer Jankodowski, which really saved him a lot of trouble. At the same time, it also confirms the saying that it is still very important to learn a foreign language well.
