Chapter 627: Test Pilot's Shock

It takes several steps to build a world-leading "strategic stealth bomber" that has a generation gap.

The first step is to build a frame.

The second step is to fill in various functional components.

The third step is to skin the exterior.

Congratulations, you have learned it.

At present, the progress in the "cloud room" has entered the third step.

After more than a month of hard work, everyone watched as this behemoth was gradually improved.

The long wait finally came.

No, no, no, it's not long at all!

After the skinning work began, "Kunpeng" took shape little by little, and everyone seemed to realize that

they were almost done with this job!

Is this not right? Is it unscientific?

Is the progress too fast?

Even many people are a little "timid" during the work process.

So fast, did we take it for granted before?

So fast, are we messing around?

Will we build an iron frame that can't fly at all?

This mentality is a bit like a student who usually procrastinates until the last minute of the exam to hand in the paper nervously, but in a certain exam, he inexplicably finished most of the content in 20 minutes.

So this student was confused and panicked, wondering if he had written it all in a mess or simply didn't wake up

Then he checked it over and over again.

Zhou Rui keenly noticed this change, and unexpectedly did not show "fear of difficulty", but "fear of easy".

However, he did not force everyone to relax, and allowed them to review and self-check without excessively affecting the progress.

After all, it is aviation engineering, so it is right to be rigorous, and in the process of reviewing, it can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the technology.

When this Kunpeng is finished, there may be a second and third one built, but Zhou Rui may not stay to guard it by then, and these people need to understand the technology better.

The birth of Kunpeng is a legend in China's aviation industry, which is a predetermined honor.

No matter what it is, being called "the world's largest" is definitely awesome, not to mention that Kunpeng enjoys several such honors.

The world's largest bomber, the world's largest stealth aircraft, and the world's largest supersonic aircraft.

As a strategic deterrent weapon, according to the current international situation, there is no need to build too many of this kind of thing. If the production capacity is retained, a single-digit number of completed aircraft will be enough in a few years.

The B2 next door only had 21 aircraft until it was discontinued.

Of course, in the best case, it is best not to use Kunpeng in actual combat from completion to retirement.

It still needs to be built. The Republic has a desire to love peace and must have the means to maintain peace.

Only by training yourself to be strong can you make idiots talk to you properly. The principles of the world are common.

Moreover, Zhou Rui speculated that the time from the completion of the prototype of Kunpeng to its public announcement would not be too different. After all, deterrence, deterrence, others don't know what you are deterring?

In mid-June, the progress of the "Yunfang Project" was 85%, and this engineering giant has become more and more in shape.

Six Bifang engines have been installed on both sides of Kunpeng's wing. Since the production of Bifang is currently limited, four engines were transferred from the production plan of the "Weilong" next door.

They can make this giant have a speed of 1.5 Mach, although this speed is not fast enough at the fighter level.

But this is a monster with an empty weight of more than 80 tons and a full fuel and full bomb weight of more than 200 tons.

And it is also invisible. Its radar reflection area is equivalent to that of the "Sixiang Weilong", and existing radar technology cannot detect it.

Including its most advanced large active phased array ground radar station.

The skinning work has gradually come to an end, leaving only special parts such as radar, weapon compartment, air intake, and cooling port.

Everyone realized that the miracle was about to be completed.

"Hello, K Army Test Flight Group, Flight 1st Squadron, Li Gang! Gu Bo! Come to report!"

In the administrative building, two pilots in camouflage saluted together.

One is in his 30s and the other is in his 40s. Both are carefully selected test pilots.

Lin Guangrong and several Rongfei members received the two pilots in a small conference room.

If building an airplane is a magnificent movie.

Then the most thrilling climax must be the moment of the test flight.

Test pilots are the best among countless pilots, a combination of experience, skills, and courage.

They must not only have the best driving ability in the entire army, but also have a considerable degree of engineering knowledge, and even be "engineering experts" themselves.

For example, these two people both have a master's degree in engineering in the direction of "aviation" and are both at the rank of lieutenant colonel.

They were transferred here when Kunpeng was not yet completed because test pilots must not only be able to drive, but also "understand" what they are driving and what characteristics they have. The two will conduct hundreds of hours of intensive learning in Rongfei.

But they still came relatively late.

Because the "bomber" test pilot has not lived for many years.

The last generation of bombers, the "God of War" grandfather, was 40 years ago. The grandchildren of the last batch of bomber test pilots are married!

The entire army does not have a test pilot specifically for bombers, and it is not reliable to let ordinary bomber pilots take over, so it was delayed for a long time, and these two were sent after internal selection.

After Li Gang saluted, he sent the relevant documents to several people. Lin Guangrong took over and said with a smile: "Thank you both, we won't say much. I'm afraid the content you two knew before coming here is limited."

Li Gang nodded: "I only revealed that it was a large bomber."

Lin Guangrong: “The main reason is that the project progresses too quickly and a lot of information cannot be properly disseminated.”

But no, the speed of data compilation is not as fast as the speed of cloud house construction.

"But it will be different when you come here. I will take you directly to the 'Cloud Room' so that you can actually take a look and find out."

Sitting in the factory car, the group wandered to the "02" factory. Lin Guangrong introduced on the road:

"The Kunpeng project team is making very fast progress and plans to complete the project by the end of June or July. You guys arrived relatively late, so the work pressure will be very high by then."

Li Gang looked serious and said: "Don't worry, chief, we will definitely complete the task."

In fact, it was quite helpless. After receiving Rongfei's needs, the flight test team gave feedback, assessed the needs, mobilized personnel, reviewed and selected, and dug out the information to strengthen the "bomber" special project. This series of work only took a month, which is not long. Not short, considered normal level.

The result is another question.

Damn it’s almost done!

Who is not confused about this?

Lin Guangrong laughed and said: "Blame us! Blame us, we were too fast!"

As he said this, his expression was full of pride.

The car arrived at the door of the "Cloud Room". The door is usually closed, and only the small door on the side is accessible.

With a "buzzing" motor sound, the car drove directly in.

The two test pilots, Li Gang and Gu Bo, raised their heads and looked at this "secret base" curiously.

After adapting to the change in light, he stood still on the spot.

In the vast space, hundreds of people were busy on the ground, and dozens of forklifts and other vehicles were constantly being mobilized.

Above the "sky", there are countless unknown small aircraft flying back and forth. This is a sight that is beyond their understanding.

We even saw some aircraft with things hanging on their small pliers, as if they were transporting them.

this.

The sound of footsteps, breathing, the sound of metal clashing from somewhere, and the sound of someone shouting in harmony.

Busy and organized.

Realistic, with a touch of science fiction.

They never imagined that they would see such a scene when they came in.

And that's their goal.

The car kept driving close to the side, blocked by various materials and columns, and Kunpeng's terrifying figure was always looming.

It's impossible to get a full view of it because it's so big

Lin Guangrong looked back and smiled even brighter.

At this time, a guide drone flew over and followed the moving car directly, and Zhou Rui's voice came from it.

"Director Lin, why are you here? What's going on?"

Lin Guangrong had become accustomed to these little things and said with a smile: "The test pilots have finally arrived. I will take them to take a look."

Guide drone: "Okay, you show them first, I can't live without them."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou, go and get busy."

The guide drone seemed to make a "nod" motion and flew away.

The two test pilots rubbed their eyes

Were you dazzled just now?

With a "swish" sound, the sight suddenly opened up, and the car finally drove into the core part of the "Cloud Room".

Lin Guangrong pointed at the steel behemoth that almost had the entire "aircraft"

"That's Kunpeng!"

The sense of oppression brought by the huge body reaches people's hearts.

Very suddenly, the two test pilots who were supposed to be "bold and calm" felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

Lin Guangrong pointed to the steel platform in the distance more than ten meters high, now called the "command platform", and said to the two test pilots:

"That is our chief engineer and the father of Kunpeng, Zhou Rui. You may have heard of his name."

Li Gang and Gu Bo were confused for a while. There seemed to be no domestic aircraft design master named Zhou.

Their eyesight was very good, and they could feel the eyes of the overly young "chief engineer" watching them while the car was driving.

Wait for these drones. Zhou Rui? !

Enlightened and smart CEO? ! !
