Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 236 [Just want to show off in a crowded place]

The time has come in October.

Xiao Yu's focus has shifted to AVIC Linfei Company. He is also relieved to have Xu Changming at Lingjing Technology.

The end of the year is coming to an end, and the last highlight is the first flight of the "Shenlong Project", which is also the most important thing this year.

At the new headquarters of AVIC Linfei, Xiao Yu was listening to the work report of Jiang Heng, the general manager of the project, in his office.

After finishing his report, Jiang Heng couldn't help but say with amazement: "Looking back now, I still can't believe that our project team actually completed a task that others might not be able to complete in five years in about a year. I never thought that the whole process would be so smooth and almost passed in one go."

Xiao Yu smiled without saying anything. With the support of the "reference answer" from the Blue Star World, there would be big problems if things didn't go well.

However, others do not know that even the members of the project team were amazed at the task they had accomplished. In just one year, they completed the aerodynamic design, structural design, system integration, etc. of the "Shenlong Fighter".

There are also many ground tests before the first flight, such as static tests, system function tests, engine tests, etc., to ensure that each system can operate normally.

For other aircraft design and manufacturing teams, completing so much research and development and testing work within five years would have been considered very efficient, but the "Shenlong Project" team completed this series of tasks in only about a year.

At this time, Chen Zaiqing, CEO of AVIC Linfei, entered the office and immediately said to Xiao Yu: "We have received a temporary notice from above, asking us to postpone the first flight of the Shenlong Fighter by half a month, which will be on December 12th."

It was originally planned to take place next Wednesday.

Chen Zaiqing immediately handed the document to Xiao Yu. Jiang Heng beside him couldn't help but say, "December 12? Isn't this the same date as last year's superconducting levitation test?"

After reading the document, Xiao Yu decisively decided, "Then postpone it to half a month later, on December 12th. This day is very special. Not only is it the teacher's birthday, but because of the time difference, the Western Hemisphere on the other side of the ocean is on Christmas Eve at the same time."

Obviously, this is not an intention to let Ameilika have a good Christmas, but to deliberately make Amei upset.

According to the content of the temporary document notification, there is another important instruction, which is to show some of the high performance of the "Shenlong Fighter" to the outside world, such as its hypersonic cruise capability.

This is a very important signal.

The current global game is showing a spiral upward trend. Many major events have happened in the external environment this year. In October, in the Middle East, Gasha and Squid fought each other. In March, there was the magical operation of a "hot air balloon" floating to Amei.

This operation really showed off to Amagilika. A balloon completely turned the "underwear" of the North-Mexican air defense system upside down.

The balloon flew south, passing over the Dakotas and Kansas, and even drifted over Missouri.

This area is the storage area for Armenia strategic bombers and tactical nuclear weapons.

When the balloon was about to float away from Amei's homeland, they suddenly "woke up from a dream" and began to urgently dispatch fighter jets to intercept it.

But what’s funny is that even though everyone saw the balloon, no weapon could pose a threat to it.

The reason is simple: the balloon is flying too high.

Later, the balloon finally descended from an altitude of 6 meters to 1.8 meters, which was when the F-22's "performance moment" came.

This fifth-generation aircraft, known as the "King of the Skies", made a difficult climb and fired three AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles before barely shooting down the balloon.

Just when everyone thought it was a "perfect ending", the F-22 almost lost control due to its operating limits and fell 5000 meters in a straight line, almost causing a big joke.

But this is not the end. Afterwards, América finally came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked by the Chinese, which exposed the F-22 fighter jet in front of the whole world and revealed its shortcomings in high-altitude combat. Now everyone knows that the F-22 fighter jet, which was praised as a miracle fighter, can't even hit a target at an altitude of 2 meters. Such important information was tested out by a balloon.

Apparently, a temporary notice was sent from above to let the "Shenlong Fighter" demonstrate some high performance during its maiden flight, in order to strategically strike a blow to the self-confidence of Amedilka and his younger brothers, and at the same time to boost the confidence of their younger brothers on their side.

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Heng and said, "Then in the next half month, we should sort out the ground preparations again to ensure that everything goes well."

Jiang Heng nodded immediately: "Understood."

After a moment, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Zaiqing and asked, "What was the weather like in Linzhou City on December 12?"

Chen Zaiqing immediately said: "I just checked, it's raining."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then contact the Meteorological Bureau and give them notice in advance to carry out artificial rainfall before December 12 to bring down the rain in advance and ensure that the weather conditions on that day will not affect the first flight."

In modern times, weather conditions can be completely artificially intervened within a certain area. It is not difficult to ensure that the weather is clear and cloudless on December 12, the first flight day. The Meteorological Bureau can just clear the clouds in advance through artificial rainfall.

Chen Zaiqing nodded: "No problem."

The maiden flight of the "Shenlong Fighter" was not conducted in any uninhabited areas such as deserts, deep mountains and old forests, but within the jurisdiction of Linzhou City. This time, after receiving a temporary notice and instructions from above, it was necessary to fly and show off in a city with "crowded eyes".

If you fly in the desert Gobi or deep in the mountains and forests, but there are no audiences, how can you be photographed and show it to the outside world?

……

As time goes by, December 12th is getting closer.

Just three days before the first flight, people living in Linzhou City discovered that the recent weather forecast was a bit inaccurate. On December 12, the weather forecast clearly said there would be no rain, but it actually rained heavily that day.

In recent days, citizens of Linzhou City have discovered something different.

The people in the Meteorological Bureau were very busy. Many "rocket bombs" appeared on the city roads, and then drove to the designated locations and fired violently. However, these were not real rocket launchers or rocket bombs, but materials needed for artificial rainfall.

Then, on the morning of December 12, heavy rain fell again in the entire city, but it lasted for a short time.

By the morning, the entire area was clear and cloudless.

For the next week, the sky in Linzhou City will be clear.

People in the city have also noticed it, and many people are discussing it online. Recently, Linzhou City has suddenly been frantically carrying out artificial rainfall, and it seems that something is happening.

But the general public doesn't know the specific reason, and everyone is doing what they are doing except those who have nothing to do.

The next day, July 12st.

Linzhou City gradually became clear in the dim light of morning light.

Xiao Yu is at the new headquarters of AVIC Linfei Company, the center of the R&D base. A fighter jet with a very sci-fi shape is right in front of him.
