0850 Blow First

At this moment, most people are looking up at the planes flying in the blue sky. Mr. President’s long sigh seems to be lamenting that mankind has taken another step forward in the confrontation with nature.

It also seems like a kind of helplessness towards the insignificance of human beings. Even if we conquer the sky, there are still more unknowns and mysteries waiting for us.

These are actually just rhetorical techniques. In fact, he just wants to sigh. Sometimes people don't have so much mental activity when doing certain things.

Everyone was paying attention to the plane, but there were two guys who focused on different things. Their eyes were wandering around in the parking bay, and one of them even wanted to grab something and stuff it into his pocket.

Everyone has their own tasks and missions. Some people's task is to promote the process of civilization, but not everyone has to be so great.

Because for more people, the purpose of living is to survive, to support the extraordinaryness of that small group of people.

The chief engineer coughed. He obeyed Lynch's order and kept staring at these people.

The scientist from the Ministry of National Defense, who was stuffing a metal burr about the thickness of his thumb that had been shaved off from the fuselage into his pocket, showed an innocent smile and then put the thing back.

He also reached out and wiped the dust on it.

What Mr. Lynch said is absolutely correct. We really can’t relax too much. Who would have thought that these scientists from the Ministry of National Defense would be so dishonest?

He knew that the other party wanted to learn about the aircraft by testing the metal composition, but this behavior... was not easy to evaluate.

"They can come down now..." Mr. President finally recovered his emotions after sighing.

People from the Ministry of National Defense and the military have also begun to pay close attention to the landing situation of the aircraft. There are no large-scale research and development projects for the aircraft so far, but the landing problem is difficult to solve.

First, the first plane, a plane with a pure aluminum metal fuselage, circled, lowered its altitude, and slowed down the output of its engine. After the last circle, it began to officially land.

Several agents subconsciously stood in front of Mr. President. At the annual aviation expo, the damage caused by those planes when they crashed was no less than a cannonball.

Every year, some unlucky people are injured by falling aircraft debris because they get too close to the landing strip, and there are even fatalities.

Everyone held their breath and watched quietly...

After an unpleasant and somewhat harsh sound, the rubber wheels deformed the moment they came into contact with the ground, and the fuselage seemed to sink to a certain extent. Surprisingly, it was not damaged and instead bounced the aircraft up.

But just such a contact, which probably lasted less than a second, reduced the speed of the aircraft to a very low level. It was now gliding completely relying on its structure.

Three or four seconds later, there was a second contact. This time the deformation of the rubber tires was less exaggerated. The aircraft's fuselage bounced up a little more, but it quickly settled on the ground.

Halfway down the runway, the plane had completely landed. The pilot excitedly pushed it to the side with the ground staff. There was another plane in the sky about to come down.

The landing of an aluminum-clad aircraft is smoother than that of an aircraft with an all-aluminum alloy fuselage. The toughness of wood is better than that of aluminum alloy, and it can withstand greater limits in the force collision caused by landing.

Both aircraft completed their missions perfectly, from taking off, to flying, to landing, there were no problems!

Whether they were pilots, researchers, or officers from the Ministry of Defense and the military, they all became particularly excited at this time.

The first person to ask the question was a man from the Navy, "Mr. Lynch, how far can this... aircraft fly?"

This is a very critical issue. If it cannot fly too far, although it is valuable, the value will not be that great.

The world is so big, and it is impossible for the Federation to go to war with other countries on its doorstep for the rest of its life. That is not a smart choice.

If the flames of war are introduced to the mainland, everyone from the president to the minister of defense will be responsible for it!

Therefore, the core idea of ​​starting a war on other people's land as much as possible has been deeply engraved in the minds of the federal people. During the war, they saw too many tragedies, and they were deeply afraid of the flames of war igniting on their own land. .

Then, this requires these aircraft to have good endurance. Only in this way can they cooperate with the navy and army for advancement.

Lynch looked at everyone, took two steps with a smile, turned his back to the door of the institute, and asked with a smile, "Why don't we sit in a warm room and discuss these issues while drinking coffee?"

The President didn't hesitate too much and stepped forward.

Lynch's suggestion was very popular with him. He was probably the oldest among the group of people. The temperature in February was not too high, and the industrial capacity was not yet developed enough to destroy the climate on the planet, so winter was really cold!

After being blown by the cold wind for more than 20 minutes, Mr. President has vaguely noticed that his knees are a little painful and his elbows are a little sore. He needs to find a warm place to stay.

A large group of people followed Lynch into the conference room of the institute. The blackboard in the conference room had long been wiped clean, and the contents on it had been preserved in the form of photo film.

"If our No. 1 aircraft is equipped with extra oil barrels, the theoretical one-way flight distance is about one thousand kilometers!"

The chief engineer coughed heavily and choked on his own saliva.

They delayed reporting the plane's situation to Lynch for more than a month because there were always things that were beyond people's expectations.

For example, in order to provide more stable output and increase the runway speed during takeoff, they slightly sacrificed endurance.

Now, without carrying extra fuel tanks, the round-trip flight distance for an adult is about 220 kilometers. Even if it carries extra fuel, it can't fly as far as 1,000 kilometers!

"Are you uncomfortable?" Lynch glanced at him sideways, and before the chief engineer could say anything, Lynch said, "If you are uncomfortable, you can rest first. I know you are working hard to develop these things as soon as possible. Hard."

The chief engineer wanted to remind Lynch, but he didn't expect Lynch to give him a very covert look, which was like saying "Shut up, I know what the hell you are going to say, but shut up"!

After confirming his gaze, the chief engineer forced a smile and thanked Lynch for his "kindness" and took the initiative to leave his post.

In fact, Lynch knew that it could not fly very far, but this did not prevent him from bragging about its performance a little exaggeratedly.

Less than one thousand kilometers, one hundred kilometers less than one thousand kilometers, nine hundred and ninety-nine less than one thousand kilometers, and there is no regulation on the size of the fuel tank. They only asked about the maximum flight distance.

It's like those people who sell cars. You think he is talking about a complete car, but except for talking about the car with you at the beginning, he has been talking to you about accessories the rest of the time.

After you believe what he said, you will realize that what he said is actually different from what you heard.

All kinds of satisfying accessories and interior decorations are actually optional. In other words, you have to spend extra money to get these things.

But they won't say that they will take customers to see the top-of-the-line cars and test drive them. After you make up your mind, they will tell you that if you want the car in your mind, you have to pay extra. gentlemen!

Now Lynch is playing the same tricks as them. Not to mention flying less than a thousand kilometers, he even dares to fly as close to the atmosphere as long as someone asks.

When the actual operation is carried out, the initial data is continuously reduced for various reasons, and then a real data is obtained.

After all, we have fully confirmed its feasibility “in theory”!

The gentlemen in the room nodded. One thousand kilometers away, if some supply transfer stations were built on the Atlantic Ocean, they could even fly the plane directly to the mainland of Gafra.

Although they didn't know why they subconsciously regarded Gaevra as an imaginary enemy when considering this issue.

People asked many other questions, such as its actual combat performance, the accuracy of bomb delivery, and the convenience of supply. At this moment, Lynch became an expert in the field of aircraft, and there was no question that he could not answer.

He wasn't talking about Xia Jiba, he was displaying it after slightly processing it based on the data given to him by the chief engineer and researcher.

It's common sense that theory looks better in numbers than reality, just like those girls who hold their heads high even if they're solid, they can get a little choppy.

If it's slightly up and down, it might become choppy.

Therefore, there are errors in the theory, which is normal!

After briefly asking some questions about performance and efficacy, Lynch quickly took the initiative.

He turned the question and answer into his own words through the topic of "Future War Development Trends".

Because when he found that he might not be able to answer when those people continued to ask questions, he knew it was time to change the topic.

"The airplane is the most important invention in human history, and it is also the key to helping us win the war."

"I have said three-dimensional warfare before. While other countries' wars are still on one plane, our war capabilities have developed into multi-dimensional ones, and we hold the key to victory."

"We can attack any facility of any force without any restrictions, and even launch 'decapitation tactics' to directly secure the victory of the war!"

People in the military liked hearing this. The major general who came as a representative asked, "Mr. Lynch, what exactly do you mean by the 'decapitation tactic' you just mentioned?"

Lynch liked this kind of potential friend who could cooperate with him and was full of good intentions. He shook his finger and said, "The human brain controls the human body, so if we personify war, the combat command is equivalent to the brain of a war. .”

"What would happen if our planes suddenly appeared over the headquarters of the belligerents and dropped bombs one after another?"

"What would happen if our planes suddenly appeared in the capitals of warring countries and delivered bombs to the national centers of the warring countries?"

"Gentlemen, from this moment on, the shape of war has changed!"

"If we can't keep up, we will fall behind. I hope we are not the ones falling behind!"
