Chapter 207

"Chief, are you still there?"

When the officer on duty on the other side of the tower saw that Hong Shengli suddenly lost his voice, he immediately asked. At this time, Hong Shengli recovered from his surprise and quickly replied: "wait a minute. We'll go to the airport to have a look. After all, it's a pilot project. We have to be sure that it's safe Is there a training mission today? "

"It's raining today, and the clouds are thick. The headquarters canceled the training."

"Well, set aside two routes for me and wait for my news." When Hong Shengli finished, he put down the phone, turned to Yang Song and Chen Fang and said, "ask some people to take the radio station to contact with the tower and go to the airport with me."

"Yes Yang Song and Chen Fang answered and quickly turned to go out. Hong Shengli immediately picked up his military cap and walked out of his office.

Airport

Luan Heping bravely patted the five meter long wing around him, and surrounded him with curiosity. The ground crew who looked up and down carefully laughed: "do you understand? UAV, ha ha ~ ~ ~ absolutely high technology. "

"Drones? It's the first time I've heard of the name. How can it be used? Without cockpit and instruments, how can we get heaven's thunder? "

A ground officer with an accent looked up and down and thought it was amazing that this guy was almost catching up with a small manned plane, but he didn't even have a cockpit. How could he start it? How to fly to the sky?

However, without waiting for Luan Heping's reply, another young ground officer said: "UAV, to put it bluntly, is a larger aviation model, with remote control."

He said, pointing at Lin Guanghua with the remote control device in his hand not far away: "look over there, it's the remote control."

The officer with an accent suddenly said, "it's a model. I said," the wing is flat and crooked. In my experience, the speed must be average. "

After hearing this, the young ground officer quickly took off his hat and looked down from the wing to take a look at the fuselage. When he saw it, he exclaimed, "you're right. The wing is not straight, but it has a concave arc. It's strange."

Then he stood up and gave a thumbs up to the officer with the same accent: "Lao Zhang, you'd better look at this arc. If you don't look at it carefully, you can't find it."

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "that is, my family has been a carpenter for several generations. Horizontal and vertical is the basic skill. My father taught me that since childhood."

"I don't know. Lao Zhang, can you still work as a carpenter?"

"What? No? I'm not talking to you. I've made all my furniture myself

"No, no ~ ~" she waved her hand again and again, and then said with embarrassment: "I'm going to get married in a few days. The furniture in the state-owned stores is too expensive, so Lao Zhang, can you help me play a few sets? Don't worry, I still have a few bottles of good wine over there. I won't let you work in vain. "

"Hey, they're all comrades in arms in the army. What's the point? You get the material ready, and I'll help you with it in two days off. " Lao Zhang was very cheerful, and Xiao Duan immediately beamed: "OK, let's make a deal."

……

There are a lot of people like Lao Zhang and Xiao Duan near the UAV. Because there is no training task, the airport is not busy. When Luan Heping suddenly saw that the UAV was assembled at the airport, these people gathered around with curiosity.

After some comments, I didn't see many advantages, but I found a lot of disadvantages.

What kind of wing is slightly outspread; what kind of tail is too thin; what kind of propeller is behind the buttocks; what kind of fuel is gasoline instead of aviation kerosene. In a word, what's the use of an enlarged aviation model? At most, it's just a chicken rib. It's not very valuable.

So no one is optimistic about this UAV. In the words of a pilot who comes to join in the fun, it's something that even a manned plane can't do. Can remote control be used? No matter how fast the electrical signal reacts, is there a pilot's brain that reacts fast?

If this is put in the era of AI prevalence decades later, it may be laughed at by many people, but in the 1980s, this is as unquestionable as the truth.

So Luan Heping was so sad that he wanted to show off in front of these comrades in arms who came to watch the excitement, but the result was so good that there was no such thing as showing off. On the contrary, he was ridiculed by others.

Luan Heping was very depressed and wanted to explain, but before he could speak, a group of people, like Lao Zhang and Xiao Duan, gathered together in twos and threes and had already turned the topic to other places.

See Luan peace big face plate hold red, is to want more embarrassed, how embarrassed.

Just at this awkward juncture, Hong Shengli jumps out of the jeep with the radio station and looks at the strange plane in front of him. Then he finds Luan Heping and asks him a question that makes Luan Heping more embarrassed: "so small? Is it enough for the driver? "

When he heard that the plane in front of him was a remote-controlled UAV, Hong Shengli's eyebrows immediately twisted into a knot. Luan Heping saw that his leader was also as suspicious as others.Quickly said: "chief, can we, let's fly to see, so many attempts we have done, not bad this one is not..."

Then crackling said a bunch of reasons, this sum up on a meaning, dead horse as a live horse doctor, anyway, it's like this, why not try?

Hong Shengli really can't help it. Otherwise, with his cautious nature, he will never try when he has doubts. But now, as Luan Heping said, their task has come to this point. One more possibility means one more hope. Even if it doesn't work out, they can let the leaders above see that they have worked hard for it, but they have done nothing.

So he thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "then try, I'll contact the tower."

Luan Heping breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned around and ran to Lin Guanghua. He asked with a bitter face: "Lao Lin, it's up to you this time. I've got all my old faces. Don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry!"

Lin Guanghua replied succinctly, and asked the following assistants to make final preparations for takeoff. At the same time, Hong Shengli also asked the irrelevant people to retreat to both sides of the runway, and then established contact with the tower. When everything was ready, Lin Guanghua started the UAV, immediately the plane began to run, and then soared in the air.

Then he climbed up at the speed visible to the naked eye, and soon disappeared in the thick clouds. I don't know how long after that, Hong Shengli immediately picked up the radio tower and said, "did the radar catch it?"

"Got it."

"What's the height?"

"Nine kilometers."

As soon as the news of the tower came out, people around the airport immediately let out bursts of exclamations. Unexpectedly, such a strange thing would jump to such a high level in the twinkling of an eye.
