Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Originally, I thought these Orientals were just bragging, and this trip would be pointless. I didn't expect them to actually create a miracle!

Thomas became excited: "Your design is perfect! When installing the leading-edge extension, you didn't put it together with the all-moving tailplane, but installed it on the fuselage. This avoids many technical difficulties and is the most suitable solution!"

Thomas knows his stuff. Normally, leading-edge extensions are directly installed on the wing, but this one is separated from the horizontal tail because the horizontal tail needs to move!

Horizontal tails are divided into two types: one with a fixed surface in the front and a movable control surface in the back, and another where the entire control surface is movable, rotating together. The West is very advanced and has long entered the era of all-moving horizontal tails. This way, the entire control surface can move, providing the maximum aerodynamic moment.

However, because it's all-moving, if you add a leading-edge extension in the front, it would have to move with it. Now, putting it on the fuselage is much more convenient.

This really is a perfect solution, but…

Looking at the plane being modified, Thomas is worried about another thing: the test pilot?

George has already run off. Who will be the test pilot next?

You need to know that the death dive is the most dangerous. Who knows if this time will be successful? If it's not successful, the plane might crash. Although the pilot can eject, who can guarantee that the ejection seat won't have problems? Mechanical things all have failure rates.

Thomas looked at Qin Yang: "President Qin, thank you for finding a way to solve the death dive for us. I just don't know if you can help us with the test flight?"

"Of course," Qin Yang readily agreed. "We are all good friends, and of course, we should help where we can. But… we Orientals have an old saying: even close brothers must settle accounts clearly. If we do the test flight…"

He hadn't asked for money before, and he could accept letting them take apart his plane and look at it for free. But now that he had this opportunity, he had to make a fortune.

Thomas immediately understood: "I know, we will provide sufficient personal insurance for the test pilot. At the same time, for each test flight, we will give a flight subsidy of $100,000. If this problem is solved, we will also give the entire modification team a bonus of $1 million."

One hundred thousand dollars, one million dollars! These words stunned Yu Ximing next to him.

Is money so easy to earn?

You need to know that their 011 base was almost failing because they didn't have the ability to make money. Now, with President Qin's help, they can easily make money, which is unbelievable.

"Okay, where's Lei Zi? Call Lei Zi here!"

Lei Zi had been waiting for this. Hearing Qin Yang's call, he immediately appeared.

"President Qin!"

"Well, Lei Zi, help with a test flight."

"Yes."

Thomas was very shocked to see all this: "President Qin, are your Oriental test pilots so easy to talk to?"

"Well, don't worry, I will apply immediately. When the installation is complete here, the funds should be in place, and perhaps even more people will come."

"Hey, there is internal damage to the fuselage here. We need to take it apart!" At this moment, a voice rang out.

"Take it apart. The damaged areas must be repaired to avoid accidents," Thomas immediately agreed.

In this way, even if they found out that something had been done, it wouldn't matter. They themselves agreed to it.

Three days later, Harry came to the Orient with a bunch of engineers.

"You Orientals are so smart! We have done a simple wind tunnel test. Adding a leading-edge extension here may indeed solve the problem. This is an innovation!" Harry said excitedly.

"Yes, this leading-edge extension… is simply a Smurf." Everyone looked at the plane. The leading-edge extension in front of the horizontal tail was painted blue, so this name blurted out.

Lei Zi dressed neatly, carrying his helmet and walked out.

"Lei Zi, this test flight is very dangerous. You must be careful. If the situation is not good, eject immediately," Qin Yang instructed. "This plane is not the property of our people. There is no need to try to protect it."

"Yes, President Qin, I will." Lei Zi was also amused by Qin Yang's words. Is it appropriate to say these words in front of foreigners?

"Here is a check for $100,000 and personal insurance. If something unexpected happens, you will receive $1 million in compensation," Thomas walked over with an envelope.

"Okay, thank you." Qin Yang directly put it in his pocket. It's inconvenient for Lei Zi to take it with him when he goes up to the sky, so he will keep it for him first.

Lei Zi got into the cockpit and started the engine. Soon, the plane left the runway, circled in the sky, and then began to dive in everyone's sight.

This time, he actively entered the dive. The wings cut through the airflow, making a whirring sound. Everyone watched intently. This situation is already a real death dive. In the past, the pilot could only eject.

But now, it's no longer needed. When he was 500 meters from the ground, Lei Zi pulled the control stick, and the trainer easily escaped the dive and began to climb.

"Great, that's great!" Everyone became excited when they saw this scene.

"Finally solved this technical problem!"

"The Smurf is really useful!"

Everyone was talking, full of emotion. In the sky, after climbing, the trainer dived down again, just like a roller coaster, sometimes diving, sometimes climbing, each time so easy, just like a flexible swallow.

Problem solved!

Harry took out his checkbook on the spot: "This test was a complete success. The problem is solved. According to our promise, we will give you $1 million as a reward."
