Chapter 629 Kunpeng's Illusion

July 31.

Cloudy.

Thick clouds floated in the air like an iron curtain.

For laymen, it might be thought that the test flight should be carried out at a time when the sky is clear, but on the contrary, God was very kind today.

Because "Kunpeng" is really too big.

The thick clouds can protect it from being photographed by satellites before takeoff.

After takeoff, the four-elephant stealth mode was turned on, making it difficult for satellites to track it.

In the "cloud room", most of the tools and facilities used to build the steel behemoth were cleaned up, leaving space for "Kunpeng" to leave the warehouse.

Only some necessary maintenance equipment was retained, and everyone was conducting repeated inspections for who knows how many times.

And this time, Zhou Rui led the team in person.

One item after another was checked, and one problem after another was checked.

Half an hour before the scheduled time for the test flight, Zhou Rui completed all the inspections.

He handed the task board to the staff behind him and was about to say something.

But he saw Wang De holding a half-meter-long wrench and smiling meanly.

"Brother Zhou, knock it!"

Dozens of people in the back also shouted together: "Chief Engineer! Knock it!"

Zhou Rui smiled slightly, took the huge wrench and waved it.

Not to mention, it was quite handy.

Zhou Rui walked under the belly of "Kunpeng".

Because it was so huge, he looked out from here and felt that the sky was covered.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhou Rui gently knocked on the titanium alloy bracket of the landing gear.

After the not-too-loud metal knocking sound, Zhou Rui closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "No problem."

"Oh! Great!"

"I feel relieved now!"

"Today will definitely be very smooth!"

The two test pilots, dressed neatly, saluted Zhou Rui together.

"Chief Engineer Zhou! We are ready to go! We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Zhou Rui patted the shoulders of the two. Test pilots are all betting their lives on data, and even most test pilots will not use ejection seats in emergency situations.

Just to do their best to ensure that the plane they were sitting on could be preserved.

However, today the two of them were obviously more confident, because they had learned from the captain about Chief Engineer Zhou's "metaphysical knock", and they felt that they had been buffed.

Zhou Rui nodded, turned around and said to everyone: "All personnel, return to their respective work positions, irrelevant personnel evacuate, and start on time at 10 o'clock."

"Northern Ocean Plan". Progress ≈99%.

Kunpeng's total progress: ≈99%

——————

A large number of people gathered in the control tower.

Yang Rubin, Lin Guangrong, special observers, Air Force J-leader.

Everyone was waiting nervously.

"Where is Chief Engineer Zhou?"

"Chief Engineer Zhou said. He is still used to standing on the ground and watching the plane take off, standing with the team."

Yang Rubin looked in the direction of the "cloud room", but only saw the closed door.

Silently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

It is impossible to say that you are not nervous. The entire process of Kunpeng's birth is like a series of miracles.

"Drawing Room Plan", "Cloud Room Plan", "Northern Ocean Plan".

He had witnessed too many miracles before, but in the final analysis, this last test flight was the end of everything.

A miracle must have a period to be passed down through the ages.

10 o'clock sharp.

Everyone was shocked.

The door of the "Cloud Room" opened slowly on time.

10:01.

A huge monster was pulled out by a specially modified heavy tractor.

Height 6.1 meters, wingspan 63.2 meters, length 37.1 meters

With six Bifang turbofan engines and a full body of Sixiang-MP3 stealth skin, the iron-gray behemoth appeared in front of everyone.

Some people who saw the full picture of "Kunpeng" today secretly took a breath of cold air.

This.

The huge body made the factory building, which was comparable to a football field, feel a sense of "crowding" visually.

It even made people worry that the huge wingspan would hit the edge of the factory building.

Even Yang Rubin was in a trance.

Being unable to see the whole picture in the hangar is a completely different experience from staring at Kunpeng from a distance.

The communication sounded.

"Tower, this is Kunpeng. It has entered the designated position and is about to start cold."

"Kunpeng Kunpeng, this is the tower, the runway is safe."

The radio waves are transmitted back and forth between the tower and Kunpeng, and all obstacles are cleared.

First

With a low hum, the six "Bifang" engines on both sides of the wing body started together.

There is not a bit of black smoke, the fuel is transformed into humming and flames, and the turbofan in the engine rotates continuously with scorching flames.

Second

As the test pilot pressed the "Four Elephants Stealth Mode" button, the entire iron-gray surface of Kunpeng instantly rippled and turned into a bright mirror color.

If just now, Kunpeng gave people the feeling of "shocking".

Then at this time, Kunpeng gives people the feeling of "dream".

After confirming that a large number of instruments were normal, the test pilot Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Tower, this is Kunpeng, I am ready to take off."

"Kunpeng. Takeoff approved, good luck!"

After a short pause, six engines roared at the same time.

The blue-green fire of Bifang pushed Kunpeng to gradually accelerate.

As a super-large aircraft, its take-off distance is much longer than that of the Weilong.

This makes the waiting time particularly difficult

Everyone's eyes widened.

Is it a long roar for nine days? Or start over again?

Kunpeng told everyone with his strength.

There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun, it turns into a bird, its name is Peng.

The huge wind pressure even makes the glass of the tower vibrate with resonance.

Kunpeng soars into the sky!

"Woo~~~"

In the low roar, this metal behemoth turned into a bird and soared into the sky.

"I have taken off, I feel good, everything is normal."

The steady voice of the test pilot came.

Immediately afterwards, the tower was filled with cheers.

"Success! Takeoff was successful!"

"It really flew! This."

"This is our own strategic bomber!"

"Be professional! Strategic stealth breakthrough bomber!"

In the tower, at the door of the cloud room, countless people jumped for joy.

The engineers waved their helmets and jumped to the sky.

Although takeoff is only part of the test flight, it is exciting enough.

Zhou Rui's hands behind his back, his clenched fists slightly loosened.

Actually, he lied just now.

After the upgrade, the "engineering knock" with a 50% judgment success rate failed today.

Although he had knocked before, after all, this precision creation may be in a different state every day.

But. He still chose to believe.

Believe in his knowledge over the years, believe in his accumulated experience, and believe in his efforts for countless nights.

At the limit of his sight, Kunpeng has slowly entered the clouds.

Zhou Rui was a little absent-minded.

He sighed again, this "second son" of his. It was really shocking.

Above Kunpeng, the voice of the test pilot came into the tower again.

"Tower, the current situation is good, and the turn-back test is about to be carried out."

"Received."

The test pilot pulled up the joystick, Kunpeng raised his head, and rushed out of the clouds suddenly.

Above the dark clouds, there is a clear sky and rising sun.

The boundless golden-red sea of ​​clouds welcomed a "steel player". Kunpeng's huge body stirred the clouds and rolled endlessly, like a real myth.

Kunpeng turned four sides and entered the sight of Factory 919 from a new direction.

Everyone looked in that direction.

Then they saw a mirror-colored giant beast shuttling between the sea of ​​clouds.

At this moment, whether it was the tower or the engineers in the "cloud room", they seemed to have auditory hallucinations in their minds.

It was a long "whale cry".

"Yi~~Woo~~"

Kunpeng has appeared in the world.
