Chapter 1806 Returning Safely to China Again (Part 1)

Little Finn was very depressed, and in the end he didn't ask what Guo Tailai was going to do and which engine he wanted. He could only keep his curiosity in his heart and wait for the day when Guo Tailai would reveal the answer in the future.

Guo Tailai also devoted himself to the process of earnestly learning how to fly an airplane, and the progress was rapid.

The flight instructor was already speechless in astonishment. After he took Guo Tailai to do a few maneuvers proficiently on the trainer plane, Guo Tailai learned his movements with only one use. It was accurate to the millimetre. This is no longer learning, it feels like copying.

After Guo Tailai personally drove the trainer to fly the perfect maneuvers, Paul was finally stimulated and made up his mind to fly to the sky as soon as possible, and he became serious about his studies. The two started to study at the same time, and the progress was so far behind, it was too embarrassing. In the past, it was only more than two hours of study in the morning, but now it has been arranged for more than half of the afternoon, so Guo Tailai's nursing work for Mr. Corian had to be moved to the evening.

This also caused Guo Tailai to no longer be able to go shopping with Lin Jiayi at night, but Lin Jiayi seemed happy to see it. If Guo Tailai doesn't go out, there won't be so many messy things, which is good.

Strictly speaking, the maneuverability of the MiG 29 is still very good, and many maneuvers can be performed, but sometimes the pilot needs to bear a large overload. Guo Tailai's physical condition is fine at all, but he has no problems. Except for the movements that the coach took him to play, Guo Tailai will not do anything else.

However, Guo Tailai's favorite supersonic flight has been tried many times. Although he did not reach the top speed of Mach 2.3, he has flown 1.5 Mach cruise many times. Even letting the coach fly once at a high speed of Mach 2.1, that feeling really fascinated Guo Tailai.

For half a month, Guo Tailai has successfully taken off and landed 30 times, an average of at least two times a day, and sometimes three times. Paul is still flying in the simulator, so his trainer plane Guo Tailai can also be used for normal flight The number of hours has exceeded forty hours, and the driving is decent.

Mr. Corian's nursing has been completed after 20 days, and the results are all very satisfactory. On the evening when the nursing was over, Mr. Corian left late. When it was just the two of them, Mr. Corian told Guo Tailai the sad news.

There are a few unfortunate people who lost almost all their wealth because of their misfortune, and even dragged down their subordinates. In the end, all of them failed to escape some unfortunate fates, and unfortunately disappeared from this world. No one can find their whereabouts. The fate of these unfortunate people is really regrettable!

Guo Tailai and Mr. Corian held a silent mourning for these unfortunate people, and then completely forgot about these unfortunate people and things. Life is still beautiful, people have to look forward, don’t they?

When Guo Tailai's safe and sound flight hours reached 60 hours, it could basically be declared that Guo Tailai had completed his MiG-29 driving studies, and the flight school issued Guo Tailai a flight license in a decent manner. This is a legal license. With this license, Guo Tailai can legally fly a civilian MiG-29 in the open civil airspace in the United States.

So far, Guo Tailai's flight learning has come to an end. However, Guo Tailai did not leave the school immediately, but began to enjoy the test ride gift package specially given to him by Paul.

Guo Tailai did not forget to fly the F14 and F15 aircrafts, and for this reason, Guo Tailai asked Liangtang to borrow his Lone Ranger helmet from "Top Gun", just for this moment.

The first is the F14, which is about to be retired, and it will definitely take one less ride in the future. The coach who took Guo Tailai to the flight was also emotional. He was dissatisfied with the old-fashioned helmet Guo Tailai was holding, but when he learned that the old helmet Guo Tailai used was actually a prop used by Liang Tang in the movie, he was also excited yelling.

"You also fell in love with F14 because of the soup?" The flight instructor immediately had a common language with Guo Tailai. When "Top gun" was released that year, it directly triggered a frenzy of countless American youths enlisting in the army and wanting to drive F14, and the coach was one of them.

So Guo Tailai got preferential treatment when flying in F14. Knowing that Guo Tailai likes supersonic speed, the flight instructor took Guo Tailai to fly at extreme speed twice, and even played a low-altitude pass at the airport. While he kept screaming, he also attracted Guo Tailai. There was a burst of yelling in response, very excited.

The F14 can be said to be the pinnacle of the carrier-based aircraft with the collection of materials and flight technology in that era. It is the strongest among the three generations of aircraft. Unfortunately, once the powerful Soviet Union fell, the F14 would be useless and would soon be decommissioned. For Guo Tailai, a processing madman, this aircraft is what he is most interested in.

"Paul, do you think that if I build an F14 by myself, will I be hunted down by the CIA all over the world?" After being addicted, Guo Tailai asked this question with great emotion when he was eating with Paul at noon. .

"I don't know, maybe!" Paul shook his head directly: "Although I don't know how high the R&D cost is, I know how high the R&D cost of an aircraft is. G, even if you can afford it by yourself for the time being, you can There's not enough level of R&D people to work for you."

The research and development cost of F14 was actually not high at that time, only more than 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, but that was 1.2 billion U.S. dollars in 1972. Now, in addition to inflation, artificial materials must be added. And other increases, the overall will never be less than 5 billion US dollars. This requires the research and development of various front-end technologies, and aircraft engines may also require at least half of the numbers.

As for the technicians, Paul didn't actually feel that he was despising Guo Tailai, he was just telling a fact. If it can be made, the power of China as a country is not as powerful as Guo Tailai? Didn't it come out?

"Okay, I'd better consider my supersonic airliner!" Guo Tailai also wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost after hearing this: "You don't sell it, I will play it myself."

"I will place an order after the research and development is successful." Paul smiled and gave Guo Tailai a little comfort, and then continued to eat hard.

F15 is the backbone of the future US military combat aircraft, and Guo Tailai also took a test ride. However, Guo Tailai mainly focuses on test-flying and learning about this aircraft, and his interest is not as great or fanatical as the F14. Of course, it is inevitable to enjoy supersonic speed. The F15 with the auxiliary fuel tank flew with Guo Tailai until it was almost out of fuel before landing at the airport.

"Paul, you learn slowly. I'm going to investigate several flight manufacturing companies." At dinner, Guo Tailai, who had completed all the learning and enjoying tasks, said goodbye to Paul: "I will set off tomorrow. I went back to China directly from Europe. If you have anything to do, use satellite phone or go to Huaxia to find me."
