Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 430: Test flight
Seven days passed in a hurry, and the long-lost lights on the runway of the combat-ready airport were bright.
The ground crew is carefully checking the runway, which has not been used for a long time. They need to conduct a pre-take-off inspection to ensure that there is no foreign matter on the runway that affects the take-off and landing of the aircraft.
The airport tower in the distance also turned on its lights after a long time, and entered the activation state, and welcomed a large number of people to stay here, ready to watch the upcoming test flight of the aircraft.
"The inspection of runway 1 has been completed, there is no foreign matter, no icing, and it is ready for take-off." The news that the inspection was completed soon came from the runway.
"The runway is confirmed, please take off from runway No. 1." After receiving the message, the tower's wisdom said to the plane that had been pushed out of the hangar and was ready to take off through the walkie-talkie.
"The test machine has received it and is taxiing into the runway." Soon the test machine also sent a reply.
From the window of the airport tower, it can be clearly seen that an aircraft is slowly sliding from the hangar to the end of the runway, adjusting its position and preparing to take off.
"Can you really fly?" The leader who came to watch the test flight asked the people around him, seemingly worried.
"Don't worry, the leader. Although that Academician Chen is young, the project he is in charge of has never had any problems." The staff next to the leader hurriedly said, even though they blindly believed Chen Xin's suspicion, this was not the case. It is obviously impossible to pour cold water when planting.
After all, who knows if the leader is really worried, or just casually asking?
However, there are certain hidden dangers in this test flight. Chen Xin was able to complete the transformation plan and specific transformation of the aircraft in such a short period of time. It is very impressive, but now he has to do the test flight, which makes people feel Some concerns.
In seven days, although Chen Xin did complete the transformation plan on time, and also completed the transformation of the aircraft used for transformation experiments, and put it on the runway for test flight, but this time was really too short.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention rigorous technical demonstrations, the aircraft itself needs to undergo a series of strict inspections and acceptances to ensure that the inspections are correct before the actual test flight can be carried out.
But now this test machine has only been put on the runway since Chen Xin took over the mission and it has only been seven days.
Although Chen Xin has organized technical demonstrations and various inspections after completing the transformation, there is no problem in theory, but who can guarantee that after the plane takes off, it will not appear The problem?
You must know that even an aircraft that has undergone technical demonstrations and various inspections will still have various problems during the test flight. After all, no one knows what the aircraft will encounter when it really flies into the sky. The situation, a little careless is the end of the machine crash.
And that's why test pilots are the most elite pilots, and why airplane testing remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
If it is possible, the leadership will certainly not let the precious pilots take such risks, and will let the technicians conduct more detailed technical demonstrations and inspections, and will not only give Chen Xin seven days to get a result.
However, there is really not enough time, and there is no room to take it slow.
During the seven days when Chen Xin rebuilt the plane, the volcanic ash erupted from Mount Toba had spread to Qiongzhou and Guangdong Province. Although the earthquake did not cause a tsunami due to the fact that the sea was covered with ice, a large amount of ice cracked. , and even part of the broken ice was pushed up to the coastline, which still made people feel the existence of the crisis.
In addition to this, the most important thing is that a 3.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in the southwest region during the past seven days. Although the magnitude was not strong, it made everyone nervous.
This earthquake may just be a very ordinary geological activity, after all, the southwest region itself is in an earthquake-prone zone.
But what if? What if the eruption of Mount Toba affected the seismic zone in the southwest, making it active?
No one dares to gamble on this possibility.
The only thing the country can do now is to make preparations in time, to do all the preparatory work that can be done in advance, so as to avoid being in a hurry when a disaster may occur in the future, and it is not enough.
"Where's Comrade Chen Xin? Doesn't he come to see the test flight?" The leader turned his eyes and didn't see Chen Xin at the tower.
The staff hurriedly replied: "Academician Chen is over there in the hangar, saying that the final inspection before the plane takes off."
"I see." The leader nodded and said nothing.
At this time, the aircraft on the runway has also completed all pre-takeoff inspections and is ready to take off.
"Tower, this is the test plane, request takeoff." The pilot's voice seemed a little nervous, but he still requested takeoff with a firm voice.
The commander of the tower looked at the leader, and when he saw the leader nod, he said to the pilot: "The test plane, this is the tower, it is allowed to take off."
After speaking, the commander seemed to hesitate for a while, and said something unprecedented: "Safe journey."
Hearing this, the pilot was stunned for a while, but he responded quickly: "Thank you for your blessings, I'm about to take off."
As the pilot's voice fell, everyone in the control tower saw that the plane, which had stopped at the end of the runway, began to taxi forward and was continuously accelerating.
At this moment, everyone in the tower felt their hearts twitching, nervously watching the first fixed-wing aircraft to take off after the meteorite hit the Blue Star.
As the plane got faster and faster and got closer and closer to the end of the runway, the nose finally lifted up, and the whole plane roared up from the runway and rushed into the night sky.
Seeing the plane take off successfully ~IndoMTL.com~ everyone in the tower let out a cheer and even clapped.
Although this looks like a normal night flight, it means that humans have finally printed their footprints in the sky once again.
But it doesn't mean that there is no problem. The ground is far better than the sky. Most of the particles and dust have fallen almost for more than a year, but the sky is suspended in the sky. There are still a lot of dust and particles.
Especially above the stratosphere, because the original air flow is relatively stable, a large number of fine dust and particles are suspended in the air for a long time, and will not fall in a short time.
This also leads to the fact that when the aircraft enters the stratosphere, the engine will inevitably inhale a large amount of dust and particles due to the intake air, which will cause wear and tear on the precision parts in the engine.
Although Chen Xin has installed an air filter on the air intake duct of the aircraft, the specific effect can only be known by flying in the sky and actually flying a circle.
