"I haven't slept all night, don't take a break first?" Xie Kai looked at Qi Zhiyuan on one side. The old guy's eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't go back to rest.

His father was the same as Zheng Yucheng and they were all busy with their own affairs.

"The carrier-based aircraft is more impressive, and the training of the carrier-based pilots of the aircraft carrier can begin, right?" Qi Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Where can I sleep now!

"Is the money invested in the little devil for the aircraft carrier plan?" Xie Kai asked.

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head, "It started a year ago. At that time, I didn’t know what your kid asked Kaisheng to keep the yen for. From September to December last year, the dollar was exchanged for the yen from 250 to 200. The money in your kid’s hands It was 20% more out of thin air. At that time, Yang Qian was thinking about it... Our country is short of US dollars and foreign exchange, but there is no shortage of Japanese yen... Since then, Song Yanjin has invested 100 million there...

Xie Kai didn't expect that these old guys were smarter than each other.

"Actually, you should be able to understand. The several arms sales of the entire base are all orders from you. We are under a lot of pressure." Although Qi Zhiyuan said with a smile, Xie Kai heard his helplessness.

For any unit, this situation is impossible.

When Xie Kai came to be the consultant, there was absolutely no way to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

I never thought that Xie Kai is like a wild horse that has run out of rein. It has brought tens of billions of funds to 404 in just two years.

Such a blow is conceivable to the older generation such as Zheng Yucheng.

Xie Kai can understand.

"boom……"

A series of slight roars came from the sky in the southwest, causing Xie Kai to regain his thoughts.

"coming……"

"Here, our new fighter is back!"

At this moment, the people who had been waiting next to him cheered.

Xie Kai looked in the direction of the roar of the sky, and couldn't see anything.

Fortunately, the weather is clear today, and there is no dense fog covering the Qilian Mountains. The sky is clear and the visibility is very high even if it is just dawn.

Soon, three small black dots appeared in the sky and gradually enlarged.

"All the pilots are Persians?" Xie Kai asked Qi Zhiyuan next to him.

"No, there is one of our pilots on each of them. Didn't we select a group of excellent pilots for the repaired fighter aircraft of the base?" Qi Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "They will undertake the repair and imitation of our base in the future. F-14 flight test mission."

"That's not bad." Xie Kai nodded. "With the base, 4 fighters can also be used for research and development."

The F-14 is a dual-seat dual-engine fighter, originally a naval carrier-based aircraft model tailored by Grumman for the US Navy, with a short take-off and landing range.

As the world's first third-generation fighter aircraft that opened the prelude to the world's third-generation aircraft, the F-14 is still not far behind in terms of technical performance, avionics and weapon systems.

The three F-14s quickly zoomed in in the shape of a product, and the roar became louder and louder. People on the ground could already see the two huge missiles hanging under the belly and other slender models hanging under the wings. missile.

"There are missiles?" Xie Kai was even more surprised.

"If the F-14 is not equipped with AIM-54 missiles, the ability to strike beyond the visual range will be much weaker. This is also the reason why we were willing to pay such a high price to get it back." After Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, he pointed to Tu Jida who was not far away. Xie Kai said, "Look at Mr. Tu, the saliva is dripping down."

Xie Kai looked at it, and the skinny President Tu looked at a 45° angle towards the growing F-14 in the sky, his mouth slightly long.

"He has always been at our base?"

"If it weren't for him, our plane would not have been so easy to repair. In the afternoon, the fighter plane will have a test flight." Qi Zhiyuan nodded and said, "We are going to build a carrier-based pilot training base next to it..."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Xie Kai glanced at him and said nothing.

Instead, he walked towards Tu Jida and others.

"This is an F-14? How does it feel bigger than the information we got?" President Tu made an umbrella with one hand, put it on his forehead, and kept looking at the three F-14s hovering over the runway, muttering. .

The F-14 in the sky looks much bigger than the domestic fighter jets.

"This is a heavy fighter with a length of 19.1 meters and a wingspan of 19.54 meters at a sweep angle of 20°. It will definitely be much larger than our domestic fighters." Xie Kai said to President Tu.

He knew that Chief Tu must know the specific parameters of the F-14.

President Tu turned his head and glanced at Xie Kai. He didn't say anything, his gaze was again on the first F-14 that had been aimed at the runway and was continuously lowering its altitude to land towards the runway.

Until all three F-14s landed and parked neatly on the tarmac of the runway.

The airport runway has been built, but the excavation work and plant construction next to it are still continuing.

At this time, if it weren't for the guards armed with guns to pull up the cordon outside, the people around would gather around to take a close look at this kind of fighter that no one has ever seen before, with a complex appearance and a huge body.

The technician on standby at the airport quickly put the ladder on the plane, and the pilot wearing the flight helmet also quickly got off the F-14. Without taking off the helmet, he was walked away by 212 Jipra, who was waiting next to him.

"Transport these three planes to the hangar." Qi Zhiyuan frowned when he saw the people around him wishing to jump up and feel for the missiles under the wings and belly of the plane.

Xie Kai turned his head and looked towards the edge of the runway. Next to the main runway of the airport, there was an airstrip that was also painted with brownish-yellow paint, extending towards the mountain next to it.

On the side of the mountain close to the airport runway, a row of light steel structure workshops with large bays has been established.

This side is near the apron.

Xie Kai has not seen the planning of the entire airport.

He also knows that the airport here cannot be repaired like an ordinary civil aviation airport.

Part of the factory next to it is in the mountains, and not much has been completed. Three F-14s are parked, which is more than enough.

"What about the F-14? In the base?" Xie Kai asked Tu Jida.

At this time, Mr. Tu ignored him at all, but ran towards the fighter in front, regardless of the opposition of the ground crew, insisted on climbing up the ladder and entering the cockpit.

The intact F-14 is very different from the F-14 obtained by the base. Although the operation panel is the same, the original aircraft is exactly the same as the F-14 in Persia. At least, it is turned on in a complete state. The situation of each indicator is different from that of the display screen.

The F-14 could not be repaired before 404. The big gap with the material and manufacturing process is one aspect, and more importantly, the various electronic systems of the avionics system.

In the complete form, the function of each electronic component is clear at a glance, which is much better than the previous understanding based on the small domestic technical reserves and the limited experience of the public.

Tu Jida started the F-14 under his seat with trembling hands and feet. The cockpit was already very old and had no sense of technology.

But this does not affect him.

"Boom~"

The engine roared slightly, and the engine of the stopped fighter began to run again.

What follows is the activation of various electronic instruments and displays.

Tu Jida didn't do much, but just watched, took out the pen and notebook he carried with him, and quickly recorded something.

"Director Qi, this..." A forty-something technician saw Tu Jida restarting the F-14 that had just stopped. He didn't know how to stop it, but Qi Zhiyuan happened to come over.

"Push the other two into the hangar first." Qi Zhiyuan knew that Tu Jida couldn't mess around, and waited for him.

Xie Kai looked at President Tu on the plane and didn't know what he was going to do.

It was not until the sun was clear that President Tu shut down the F-14 engine and got down from above.

Excitedly said to Qi Zhiyuan, "Director Qi, we had misunderstood many things before. Although it does not affect the flight, both flight performance and maneuverability will be severely restricted. Apart from flying, nothing else can be done... …I hope to change the plan, cancel the test flight this afternoon, and repair the F-14 at the base..."

"Have such a big problem?" Although Qi Zhiyuan believed, he still hoped to hear it.

Otherwise, the previous repair work was almost wasted.

"It does. Especially the variable swept wing of the fighter we repaired has always had problems with its control, although it does not affect the takeoff..." Tu Jida turned his notebook and introduced the situation to Xie Kai and Qi Zhiyuan.

There is no comparison, or even any technical information. The previous F-14 was repaired entirely by the exploration of domestic technicians and their own understanding.

"If it doesn't work, stop. We can't afford to lose." Seeing Qi Zhiyuan's unwillingness, Xie Kai said quickly.

Mr. Tu's words could not be unfounded.

In the unlikely event that this repaired F-14 had problems during the test flight, no matter if it was a pilot or a fighter, the entire 404 could not be lost.

"Are there 9 complete F-14s to be repaired?" Qi Zhiyuan said, "Only a test flight can find the problem."

"Director Qi, we are repairing, not manufacturing fighters." President Tu was so angry that he vomited blood. "If there is a problem with this aircraft, subsequent improvements will not be so easy. It will greatly impact everyone. Positivity."

"What about the technical information provided by the Persians? Should it be here?" Xie Kai frowned and asked.

Logically, technical information should be provided first.

"No, come with the scrapped fighters." Qi Zhiyuan shook his head, "They replaced our 27 J-7s with three flying F-14s and 10 F-14s that they could not repair. We have to wait for our J-7s to arrive. The rest will be shipped..."

"..." Xie Kai was speechless, and the Persians were a bit too much this time.

"It's really impossible to test flight. We had problems with our understanding before. Some electronic systems are not what we understand at all. This is a problem that I discovered after preliminary reading. The F-14's avionics system is really too complicated. The wreckage of the prototype we got basically couldn't start..." President Tu was really anxious.
