Chapter 823 Swan Flaps Its Wings! (First Update!)

Facing Lin Yu's words, the 16 pilots subconsciously raised their hands to salute, followed by another uniform voice:

"Promise to complete the mission!"

Listening to this uniform voice, Lin Yu pressed his brow with his right hand naturally. After being the boss of Rheinsteel for so many years and living for so many years in his previous life, he knew very well that when these people said this, they didn't care at all. Listen to what you say.

He pressed his eyebrows with his right hand, lowered his brows and said in a low voice:

"What I just said will be written into the operating rules. If you violate it, I will have the entire group company permanently stop cooperating with you."

"In the future, we will have more and better airplanes, better than any airplane you have flown before. If you still want to climb into those airplanes, then listen to me."

"If you don't listen! This aircraft is no longer needed now."

After speaking, Lin Yu raised his brows and fixed his gaze on the 16 people in front of him. When he saw that the expressions on the faces of these 16 people were as he expected, a smile bloomed on his face again.

He raised his hands again, clapped softly in front of his chest, and then waved to the queue standing not far away:

"Come here and take our 16 comrades down. We must help them become familiar with the aircraft within half a month."

Following Lin Yu's wave, Xian Yufan took the lead and came to the pilot, holding out his right hand:

"Hello, I am Xian Yufan, the chief engineer of this Tu-160 modified bomber."

As soon as he finished speaking, two hands stretched out in front of him almost at the same time. Then, the owners of the two hands glared at each other, and they both saw disgust in each other's eyes.

Then there were two voices speaking in unison.

"The ace test pilot of the Western Aircraft Manufacturing Bureau, Yuntian."

"The ace test pilot of Southwest Aircraft Manufacturing Bureau, Jiang Ming."

Looking at the two hands that were also stretched out, and looking at the real fire in their eyes, Xian Yufan retracted his hand in embarrassment, touched his nose, then decisively turned around, raised his hand and pointed to the side:

"You two, come this way, I will take you to arrange accommodation first."

Then he yelled, walked alone in front, and walked quickly towards the door in the distance, completely ignoring the people behind him.

Behind him, Yuntian and Jiang Ming looked at each other and let out a very disdainful snort.

Behind the two, their respective teams looked at each other with hostility.

Lin Yu was happy to see the unfounded hostility between them. Only with competition could progress be achieved. Of course, the prerequisite was healthy competition.

After shouting "Come on" to the group of people in front of him, Lin Yu turned around and left directly.

The test flight of a new aircraft is more troublesome than the test flight of a missile.

Because missiles are designed to hit and explode.

Therefore, they are usually equipped with remote control systems, and when problems arise, forced detonation will be selected.

What's more, missiles fly at extremely high altitudes and generally will not affect ordinary aircraft.

But airplanes can't.

Therefore, the test flight of an aircraft is more troublesome than the test flight of a missile, requiring coordination from multiple parties and clearance.

Very annoying.

When she walked out of the workshop, she happened to see Lu Lin running around with a camera. After unloading the goods and picking up the camera again, Lu Lin became much more lively.

At this moment, she was wearing a yellow safety helmet, a bright yellow reflective vest, and a pair of beautiful hats looking around. She would stop from time to time, aim the camera in her hand at the target, and then click.

Take a photo, pick it up in the camera, and move on to the next place.

While she was squatting in a shady corner, pointing the camera lens at an unknown butterfly, Lin Yu took out his cell phone, pointed the lens at her, and gently pressed the shutter button.

After taking the photo, Lin Yu laughed twice while looking at the photo, and left quietly to coordinate the related clearance work.

Half a month is actually very short, only 360 hours in total.

In the blink of an eye, 14 days passed and it was September 23.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the bell for getting off work rang on time. Different from the previous few days, after the bell rang on this day, the people from the security department lined up neatly into the hangar, walked into the data room, and forced them to leave. There were also machines in the data room. Curry's busy people stop working.

"Accepting the order from the factory director, you are required to stop working immediately, and then go to eat and rest. Tomorrow, September 24, will be a day off. The hangar and data room will be locked, and no one is allowed to enter."

"On September 25, the day after tomorrow, preparations will be made. On September 26, the day after tomorrow, the aircraft will be officially tested."

After delivering the news, the person in charge of the security department hung the padlock as thick as a baby's arm on the hangar door in full view of everyone.

With a click, the door was locked.

Xian Yufan, who was kicked out, touched his head, turned to look at Yuntian and Jiang Ming next to him, and smiled:

"Let's go and eat."

One day to rest, one day to prepare.

Everyone at Rheinland Aerospace was calm, but everyone knew that beneath the calm was excitement and worry before the plane was about to take off.

If the plane successfully takes off this time and there are no problems, then their names will always be recorded in the history of China.

If not.

Strictly speaking, there is no big problem, but for themselves, it is a failure.

Although people talk about failure as success every day, no one is willing to fail, and no one wants to fail.

September 26, August 23.

Yiyou Year of the Rooster, Yiyou month, Guichou day.

It is suitable for marrying, making carts, installing machinery, and offering sacrifices.

At twelve o'clock, Yin Ji, Mao Ji, Si Ji, Shen Ji, Xu Ji, Hai Ji.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the autumn sunshine in Gaocheng is no longer as hot as summer, but it still makes people feel hot.

On the tarmac of the aerospace company, Lin Yu held an almanac in his hand and kept using it to fan the wind.

Not far ahead of him was the huge hangar.

Behind him were He Qingyang, Fang Jianguo, Qian Guoheng, Lu Huaxi and Zhou Changyao.

Since there were no outsiders and it was not yet time to start, several old men got together and found a shady place. They also caught Lu Lin as a coolie and asked the little girl to take commemorative photos and videos for them.

China's first supersonic and heavy bomber has made its debut. This time must be commemorated, and photos and videos must be taken.

When you retire in the future, when you brag to the children at home, you won't be like the older generation who spoke without evidence.

In the future, they can take these photos and videos and tell their descendants with confidence what you and I did back then.

And here's the evidence.

At 8:15, the hangar door in the distance opened, and a red tractor walked out of the darkness first.

Immediately afterwards, the Tu-160, which had not yet been painted, was pulled out of the hangar by a tractor and appeared in the sun for the first time.

Under the golden-red sunlight in the morning, the original silver-gray color of the aircraft was completely covered up and turned into a faint golden-red color.

Make the plane look more eye-catching.

As the plane walked out of the hangar, Xian Yufan and his team also walked out from the other side of the hangar. He was separated from the team. He rode his bicycle alone and came to Lin Yu. With a beautiful flick, he stopped in front of Lin Yu. , he turned to look at the plane in the distance, his eyes full of obsession, and murmured to himself:

"I feel like I'm dreaming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu next to him suddenly said:

"I suddenly felt that the white one didn't look good. I thought the plane should be painted red, that kind of very flamboyant... cinnabar red!"

The sudden words brought Xian Yufan back to his senses. He looked at the plane in the distance that was illuminated red by the sun. He nodded with deep sympathy, but then shook his head:

"That...this is a bomber, painted red..."

"We have three of them. Before they are officially mass-produced, we can take out one and paint it cinnabar red!"

The next second, Lin Yu's voice sounded beside him:

"I leave this task to you. When I fly on National Day, I want to see the cinnabar-red plane."

Throwing the pot to Xian Yufan, Lin Yu pressed the intercom hanging on his chest:

"Hey, gentlemen, we have to go to the tower."

He left with his front foot, and in the shade in the distance, several old men who had gathered together stood up, helped Lu Lin pick up the camera lens and video camera next to them, and walked happily to the tower together.

tower.

Air traffic control and communication personnel are ready. Every few dozen seconds, the communication personnel will press the earphone hanging on the head to contact several surrounding radar stations to inquire whether any UFOs appear in the clear area.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

After receiving an affirmative reply of "no," the communication staff recorded the situation and passed it to the air traffic controller next to him.

Everyone is working in an orderly manner, but everyone's hands are sweating.

At 8:45, all three aircraft were at their respective positions and ready.

After standing by the window and looking through the binoculars for a while, Lin Yu took the earphones from the tower air traffic controller, hung them on his head, switched the communication channel to the public channel, and pressed the microphone:

"There are still 15 minutes left. Don't be nervous, let alone panic. Just do your job well. For the rest, even if something goes wrong, don't panic."

"Especially pilots, I need to reiterate, you are more important than the aircraft."

"If something happens, I'll take care of it."

After finishing speaking, he switched the communication channel back to the dedicated channel. Instead of returning the earphone to the air traffic controller, he hung it next to him and listened to the crickets in the earphone.

The air traffic controller who had the earphone taken away could only take a spare earphone from the side and hang it on his head, and continue to broadcast the next flight information.

At 8:55, the air traffic control personnel pressed the microphone and issued instructions to the communication personnel next to them, asking to reconfirm the safety of the clearance area.

Two minutes later, the radar station responded and the clearance area was safe and the aircraft could take off.

After receiving a reply, the air traffic controller turned around and sent the relevant information to the three aircraft.

On Plane No. 1, after listening to the air traffic control, Yuntian turned to look at the three team members next to him and said softly: "Are you ready?"

"Ready!" Three voices said in unison, and Yun Tian also answered, turning on various switches and getting ready for takeoff.

"Unit 01 is ready and can take off at any time! Over!"

"This is the tower! At 10:01, Plane 01 takes off on time. The countdown is 63 seconds. The timer starts now. It's over."

"Unit No. 01 received! Complete!"

The sound of the countdown echoed in the headphones, dripping, very crisp and nice to listen to.

When the countdown reached 10 seconds, the beeping sound turned into a clear and pleasant female voice, spitting out numbers one by one.

When the number zero sounded, Yuntian pushed the push rod on his right hand without hesitation, began to distribute power, and released the aircraft brakes at the same time.

From the perspective of the tower, after the countdown returned to zero, the tail of the No. 01 aircraft, at the position of the engine nozzle, suddenly appeared a space distortion.

That was the distortion caused by the surrounding air being suddenly heated by high temperature.

As the space distorted, the aircraft on the narrow runway also slowly moved.

Watching the aircraft move forward, everyone's heart was in their throat.

All the inspections and operations of the aircraft were completed and watched countless times in the hangar.

But this was the first time to really fly.

The runway outside the apron of the aerospace company is an extra-long runway.

The land is so big, it is so arrogant.

The speed of the aircraft moving on the ground is getting faster and faster.

Slowly, under the gaze of everyone, the nose of the aircraft slowly rose.

At this moment, the hearts of all the people who saw the plane seemed to stop beating.

The next second.

The nose of the plane suddenly lifted up, and under the huge thrust of the engine, it climbed directly into the sky.

"Success! The plane flew!"

"Our plane flew!"

Screams came one after another in the tower. Lin Yu knocked on the headset calmly. The gentle knocking sound suppressed all the excited people back to their seats.

It is not uncommon for a plane to take off. It can fly with great force.

But the plane must fly steadily, high and fast, that is the real success.

At the back, He Qingyang quietly walked to Lin Yu and gently patted the student on the shoulder:

"Don't put pressure on yourself."

Lin Yu was wearing headphones and didn't hear it too clearly. He just looked at the smile on the teacher's face and gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, Yuntian's voice came from the headset.

"Tower Tower! This is aircraft No. 01. The aircraft instruments are operating normally, the hydraulic oil circuit is normal, the engine power output is normal, and the pilot is in good health. Over!"

"01, this is the tower. The radar shows that your flight attitude is normal. Please pay attention to maintain it and conduct the flight test according to the original mission book. Over!"

In aircraft No. 01, Yuntian received the information from the tower. He quickly scanned the instrument panel and confirmed that all equipment was in normal operation. Then he turned his head to look at the co-pilot:

"Report the mission!"

"According to the flight map, fly in circles in the designated area, and then start the ceiling. The ceiling altitude test is tentatively set at 10,000 meters."

"After reaching an altitude of 8,000, hover for 20 minutes, then climb to an altitude of 9,000 and continue circling for 20 minutes."

As he spoke, the co-pilot called up the map on the instrument panel in front of him. Unlike the route map they had seen, the one that appeared on the central screen of the instrument panel was not their common topographic map, but a satellite map.

On the satellite map, there was a small green dot, and the location of the small green dot was inside a huge blue circle.

He scanned the map, determined his position, and determined the altitude. Yuntian gently pulled the joystick and began to circle around the blue circle on the map.

The plane began to circle, and the flight altitude kept rising.

The gas ejected from the tail of the plane, under the effect of the plane's circle, slowly pulled out a white cloud spring in the blue sky.
