"Canglong 01, conduct a hypersonic penetration test!"

"Received, hypersonic penetration test, current speed, 2.4Ma."

"2.4Ma, the ground radar copied it. So fast!"

"It's extremely fast, the engine is running normally, and there is no surge."

"Received, Canglong 01, slow down and conduct a supersonic cruise test."

"Understood, supersonic cruise test."

"The speed is maintained well, and the supersonic cruise test is completed. Canglong 01, try to conduct a super maneuver test."

"Super maneuver test, ready to pull up."

"Cobra! Canglong 01, report the flight control work!"

"The flight control works fine, but there is a slight jitter when maneuvering at high angles of attack."

"It's okay, this is normal, try diving in."

"Got it, ready to dive."

"Perfect. Canglong 01, turn off the active radar and test the radar reflection area."

"Got it, turn off the active radar."

After sending out instructions one by one, Canglong 01 perfectly completed all the operation instructions, and the moment he turned off the active radar, the signal source on the radar screen disappeared instantly on the ground.

"Disappeared!"

Everyone in the tower exclaimed, this is the first time they have seen such a scene in their lives.

There is no doubt that there is no problem with the radar system, because the radar signals of the two J-8 III fighters on alert in the air are all normal.

There is only one reason:

The radar reflection area of ​​this Canglong is completely lower than the detection range of the ground radar.

Without mounting the Lunbo lens and without turning on the active radar, it has truly achieved stealth!

". Canglong 01, are you still there?"

The commander's voice trembled slightly, and he almost unconsciously asked this question that he already knew the answer to.

"Control tower, I'm here."

Liu Chuanwu, who was the test pilot, spoke extremely calmly, but at this moment, his heart was also turbulent.

The plane actually took off.

Plus, it flies so well!

Except for the slightly backward radar system and command system that could not allow Canglong to exert 100% of its combat effectiveness, in all other areas, this aircraft absolutely reached the standards of the fourth-generation aircraft.

Super maneuverability, supersonic cruise, super stealth. Now, the gap is only the last step:

Beyond situational awareness.

And this step, as long as you are willing to spend time and resources, you can definitely cross it!

Our first fifth-generation aircraft was really born!

When the fourth-generation aircraft was still a legend, and even the legendary F-22 had only a few leaked photos and was not officially in service at all, it was already flying in the sky with a long history!

Is this really. realistic?

At this moment, Liu Chuanwu felt inexplicably in a trance.

Just a few months ago, he suddenly received a top-secret mission, which informed him that he would conduct a test flight of a new type of fighter.

At that time, he thought he was going to fly the J-10, but until the modification of the J-10 took to the sky, he didn't touch the control stick of that plane once.

This made him a little disappointed.

Afterwards, news of the J-8-III came out, and he looked forward to it again, but in the end, he was still not included in the list of test pilots.

What the hell is that plane?

At that time, the doubts in his heart almost became a mountain, but no matter what, he still insisted on the boring training day after day.

The flight manual with millions of words, thousands of instructions, and hundreds of operations can be completed quickly even if he closes his eyes or even unconsciously.

The hours-long training flight missions every day almost reached the limit of his physical load.

In addition, there is the most basic, but also the most intense physical training.

This series of training almost exhausted all the potential in his body.

Until a few days ago, he received that dream order:

The training is suspended, turned to rest, and prepares for the test flight.

After that, he got on the plane.

In fact, he was informed of the purpose of the training at the later stage of the training, had seen the aircraft several times in the hangar, and operated various systems on the aircraft countless times on the simulator.

But a simulator is a simulator after all.

When the canopy was closed and the flight controller reported the words "Program Started", he still couldn't help but tremble all over.

This trembling didn't stop abruptly until he lifted the lever and flew up.

Yes, that's what it feels like.

He took a deep breath, and there was no trace of impurities in the blue sky in the distance, and when he swooped down to look down, what rushed into his eyes was not only the earth, but also the "aircraft museum", many of which he or she Familiar or unfamiliar fighter planes.

In a daze, he seemed to see two people standing beside those fighter planes, and those two people were also looking up in his direction

An hour later, Canglong 01's first test flight mission came to an end.

The plane landed steadily, and the ground crew who had been waiting for a long time rushed to meet it immediately, and there were also many impatient engineers among them.

They looked at Liu Chuanwu expectantly, wanting to know what he would say at such a historic moment.

Liu Chuanwu climbed down the gangway and took a deep breath.

Then, he looked at the crowd and said:

"Our planes are fine, our engines are fine."

It seemed that this sentence was too simple. After a moment of silence, he added:

"One day, the sky will be the same as the land."

Hearing his words, everyone suddenly fell silent.

No one would be so foolish as not to realize the meaning of his words.

Yes, the sky will be like the land.

Not an inch is missing.

On the other side, at the edge of the test flight field, a white-haired figure silently watched the whole process of the plane from takeoff to landing.

He still carried the slightly worn-out toolbox in his hand. Although it was heavy, he never thought of putting it down.

fly up

He thought silently in his heart.

Yes, after 7 months of hard work, this plane is finally flying.

All those who have poured their hearts and blood into this aircraft can rest assured.

Xiao Wu is sick and is still lying on the bed. He has not seen the first flight this time, so he should talk to him after returning home.

Lao Li transferred to 606 for support, but he hurried to catch up.

That boy Zhang Chenchen was in the office, but he didn't dare to come and see, he just asked himself to tell him the result.

If he knew that the first flight was so smooth, he would probably smash the floor with anger, right? ——

But not necessarily, anyway, he will have a lot of opportunities to see it in the future.

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Ma Wentao's face.

He nodded slightly and turned to leave.

In his heart, he actually just did some insignificant work. Compared with those engineers who worked hard day and night and solved one problem after another that he couldn't even understand, he was actually an ordinary worker. .

Glory belongs to them, at this moment, I shouldn't bother.

He took a step forward, feeling extremely relaxed.

However, just as he was about to step out of the test flight field, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Lin Yongming, the boss of AVIC No.1 Group.

Beside him was a young man he had never seen before.

Ma Wentao quickly ran two steps, went up to greet him and said:

"Boss Lin, you're coming too. No, look at my mouth! Canglong 01 made its first flight successfully, and you should have seen it too. We guys are really amazing!"

"Such a short time, such an advanced aircraft!"

"It would be great if my boy could do this one day, but unfortunately, he can only learn my craft."

Seeing his emotional and terrified expression, Lin Yongming on the opposite side waved his hand and replied with a smile:

"Old Ma, don't be humble with me here."

"This plane can fly, thanks to you."

"No, no, what am I doing?"

Ma Wentao waved his hands quickly.

"If we really want to say credit, our engineers who designed this plane are amazing. Without them, no matter how good my craft is, I have nowhere to start, right?"

"By the way, Mr. Lin, if you can see them, please tell us workers that we are very grateful to them."

"Although we don't know what's going on, we can see how important this plane is."

"If we don't build this plane, we will have to be bullied all the time, even in front of our own people, we won't be able to hold our heads up."

"This plane is really good. If there is such a project, I have absolutely nothing to say!"

Hearing his words, Lin Yongming nodded solemnly.

He glanced at Chen Nian, then said:

"Old horse, don't worry."

"I've seen them."

"He told me thank you."
