0846 Fishing[16/?]
On the morning of the fifth day as things continued to escalate, new front-page headlines came out.
The entire front page of the Federal Times was occupied by photos, a total of sixty-seven photos, each of which had some technical processing to make them look less scary.
But everyone who saw the photos knew that these people were dead.
The blurry pictures on their heads must be bullet holes. Their dull eyes have lost focus, and their pupils have expanded to give people a strange feeling.
These photos caused some people discomfort, but also made some people fall into a kind of crazy excitement.
Jim is such a guy.
His life trajectory is no different from that of most people in this country.
Free public education allowed him to finish high school at a fraction of the cost, but that was the end of it.
The university did not open its arms to him. Compared with those "lucky people" who could get invitations to university because they "mastered a cooking technique" or "singed better", he was obviously the unlucky one.
Fortunately, he was not idle in high school. He had many relationships and vented his endless energy with many girls in the best and most confusing stage of his life.
After graduation, he joined the assembly line of a factory. He also lost his job some time ago. Fortunately, his father did not lose his job, and the family finally got through the crisis without any danger.
Now that he has found a job again and is dating a new girlfriend, he will pay attention to topics that men are concerned about, such as politics, economy, society, medical care, education, and headlines.
The news published in the newspapers during this period really made him very angry. A young man in his twenties still had a very clear sense of right and wrong, love and hate.
What happened to that girl and what happened to Mike's family made him very angry.
Why would these people want to hurt those innocent people?
Do you even want to deceive others after being hurt?
He doesn't know what's going on in this world, what's going on in that country called Suger. Are they all crazy or insane?
Until this moment, all the dissatisfaction was finally vented. He waved his fists twice and stood on the roadside, looking down at the photos of the sixty-seven dead people in the newspaper.
He didn't feel how scary these people were. Instead, he was very excited, just like he did every time he added a small trophy to his stamp album.
marvelous!
It's really great!
It was obviously something related to killing, but it gave Jim a feeling that "this is what a powerful country should look like."
He might not be able to say it himself, or he might not be specific enough, but that's what he means.
Strengthening a country and respecting it are not just words, they must be based on facts.
Now there is.
If you don't give it to me, then I'll get it myself and look at these silly beeps. They deserve it!
This was also the first time that Jim suddenly felt that the fleet of luxury cars on the road was not so disgusting. After all, some people were different from others.
For example, Mr. Lynch was sitting in the motorcade that just passed him.
"The results of our experiment exceeded our expectations. Based on the technology we currently have, we can push the aircraft's engine function to a higher level within half a year."
The engineers in charge of the aircraft research are reporting their results to Lynch during this period.
The research on the aircraft has basically been completed, but they did not rush to ask Lynch for work, but continued to optimize the overall structure of the aircraft.
At the same time, more attempts have been made in terms of materials, such as all-aluminum alloy aircraft.
Lighter, faster, taller, more capable and less reliable.
In addition to these, they also tried to install a firepower system. Engineers knew that Lynch gave them great freedom to conduct research. The core goal was to develop aircraft, a civilian entertainment device, into a weapon of war.
So they came up with a lot of designs, and these designs also had to be tested, so it was only now that they told Lynch the results.
"Don't say what I don't want to hear. Just tell me whether those aircraft can fly and whether they can achieve our design goals."
The engineer nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
Lynch patted the other party's arm, "I hope you can give me a surprise!"
The vehicles whizzing by quickly drove out of the urban area of Bupain. Aircrafts that require testing are not suitable for research in the city.
If it falls from the sky and kills several people, its size will be a problem, so the aircraft is researched in the wild near the warning area.
The land far away from the city was not valuable, and the jobs provided by Lynch exceeded the federal minimum standards, so the Bupen City Council generously granted him a large piece of land to build various facilities.
The convoy did not stop outside the institute, but went directly to the take-off runway, where two brand-new aircraft, let's call them planes, were already parked there.
"One has an all-aluminum alloy fuselage, and the other has a more traditional aluminum-clad fuselage with some wood inside."
The engineer explained the difference between the two materials to Lynch, and Lynch patiently stopped. After all, he had to go back to deceive the potential big investors, and he had to talk a little bit.
After the engineer finished speaking those difficult-to-understand terms, the first all-aluminum aircraft took off quickly.
"Mr. Lynch, I don't know if you have noticed, but the fuselage is very stable when it takes off, and there is no abnormal vibration. This is the advantage of it (aluminum alloy)."
"I believe that after new breakthroughs in some metallurgical processes, all-aluminum structures will inevitably be used in the future aircraft field."
"But it also has some problems that we can't solve yet, such as encountering strong convection..."
Lynch raised his head and watched the plane flying steadily in the sky, followed closely by the aluminum-clad plane.
The wood-clad aluminum structure has been around for a long time. The reason why it has been around for so long without being eliminated is that in addition to its price and cost, the wood provides additional toughness to ensure that it encounters dangers in the air. time safety factor.
At least it won't suddenly break a flying wing or anything, and its skin is thick and durable.
Watching the two planes flying in the sky, Lynch could already imagine what it would be like in the future where the sky would be filled with all kinds of planes.
"What about their combat capabilities?"
The engineer said something that Lynch knew before, such as some millimeter howitzers, which can be thrown at high altitudes with only a simple small switch.
Regardless of the accuracy issue, it's still very useful.
Listening to those data without much nutrition, Lynch asked a question that no one had thought about, "Have you considered how it can deal with enemies from the air?"
The researchers and engineers present were stunned. They didn't know how to answer this question.
It's not that this problem is so difficult, it's just that during the entire process of designing this aircraft, they didn't consider that it needed to deal with enemies that also came from the air.
Nowadays, aircraft are still a popular field of private research all over the world.
It is precisely because it is popular enough that many civilian scientists have flight accidents every year, which also gives people a very stereotyped impression that aircraft are not safe.
This is also the main reason that restricts it from receiving more attention and investment. There are only a few people in the entire federation who are willing to invest money like Lynch.
Therefore, the institute has never considered whether they have any competitors. If there are any, then the competition is not about force, but about who can fly farther, higher and faster.
Now the question arises, what if the attack comes from the ground?
"We have machine guns!" One researcher looked at Lynch in surprise as if he had gotten the most important question in his life right.
Lynch did not immediately give him praise or criticism, but raised some questions, "Who will control it, how long can two people maintain high-intensity combat, and how to ensure its stability in aerial combat?"
Looking at these people, Lynch knew that they had no such concept at all.
"Can I contact the person above?"
Someone nodded, "We did not carry the howitzer. We used the extra load to carry the radio station on it so that we can contact the pilot."
"Very good, let them fly around the warning area..."
The researcher was stunned again, but he quickly came to his senses and was even a little excited.
The aircraft project was aimed at arms sales from the very beginning, but the military looked down upon these gadgets that would fall off easily and did not even think about funding them.
This also makes some researchers still have a little obsession with the military.
The two planes received the order and quickly changed their direction and flew towards the warning area.
Lynch glanced at the chief engineer next to him strangely, "You seemed nervous just now?"
Just as the plane turned around in the air, the chief engineer next to Lynch was so nervous that his hands clenched into fists.
"No...how is that possible? I'm not nervous at all!"
After he finished speaking, he laughed twice to show that he was not lying.
In fact, he lied. Rolling and turning at a large angle can easily break the flying wings. Fortunately, they performed well today and there were no accidents.
More than twenty minutes later, the two planes landed steadily on the runway. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered for this successful test flight.
When the chief engineer planned to invite Lin Qi to take a rest at the research institute, Lin Qi did not agree and stayed at the airport.
"Don't worry, wait a while."
Wait a moment?
The chief engineer looked at the blue sky and the few clouds in the sky. The golden sunlight dyed the clouds golden, like palaces where gods lived.
It looks good, but is there any point in waiting here?
A few minutes later, the sound of engines came from the distant wilderness, and a group of soldiers were quickly approaching here.
