Chapter 138 At the Base

The way people around him were looking at him was as if he were a monkey.

Chief Cui also realized something was amiss. Although the other party's behavior was illegal and violated regulations, that was not a reason for them to view the other party in this way.

He chased away those who were not on his side and said something to them.

"Come with me first!"

After speaking to him, he turned to the two pilots beside him, who were wearing anti-G suits, and told them to follow.

He could only follow behind the other party. Chief Cui led the three of them all the way to the office building of the Air Force Base and randomly found a small conference room to go in.

"The three of you should each find a place to sit. You three spoke in the sky before, didn't you? You didn't expect to meet again on the ground!"

Chief Cui then found a place to sit in the conference room. The room contained a small, long conference table.

He unconsciously sat down on one side of the conference table, while the two pilots sat opposite him.

After they sat down, he couldn't help but look at the two pilots opposite him, who were also looking at him.

Chief Cui, sitting at the head of the table, finally began to ask his questions.

"Since none of you are going to speak, then let's start with me!"

"Why don't you introduce yourself first, so we can get to know each other?"

He had initially thought his treatment would involve being strapped to an interrogation chair and possibly being fitted with silver bracelets.

But the environment was completely different now. There was no interrogation chair, not even a silver bracelet, and the highest-ranking official on the other side was asking him questions in a friendly manner.

This was a situation he had never imagined before; it seems this start was quite profitable!

"Hello, my name is Li Zhenhua. I own a technology company, Kyushu Divine Beast Technology, which is mine."

Our company's main business includes manufacturing various types of White Tiger motorcycles and providing radial aircraft engines for Hongdu Aviation Industry Group's Feizhou private jet.

That concludes my basic information. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

His introduction also gave the three men a basic understanding of him.

It was at this moment that Chief Cui also learned why the other party was able to build such an aircraft; it turned out that they had previously worked in the aircraft-related industry.

Moreover, Chief Cui was also familiar with the White Tiger motorcycle, especially after the incident with the Antarctic team, he specifically searched for information about the White Tiger motorcycle.

Chief Cui nodded and looked at Li Zhenhua, continuing to ask him questions.

"So, Li, tell me about your flying machine from earlier."

I'm still quite curious about it, so let me give you a general overview!

The other party finally asked about his model airplane, which was also the tool used in this incident.

My model airplane, oh no, I mean flying machine,

全长3.5米，翼展分别是二十度角3.6米、六十八度角2.2米，七十五度角1.9米, 高40公分,

The aircraft weighs 1.2 tons and can carry less than 400 kilograms of fuel. Its range should be around 900 kilometers, but the exact range has not been calculated.

The maximum speed it can fly hasn't been tested yet, but it can reach Mach 1.5 at an airspace of 500 meters.

The wings are variable-sweep wings, and the power comes from two turbojet engines that I developed and manufactured myself.

Each engine has a thrust of 1.4 tons, and both engines together produce a total thrust of 2.8 tons.

My 3.5-meter-long aircraft can also carry 1 ton of cargo if conditions permit.

There's also the control system and information transmission system. The flight control should be similar to that of a fighter jet, because I don't know what a fighter jet's flight control system is like; it was built entirely from imagination.

The information transmission system utilized Huawei's 5G transmission, employing a total of twenty IoT cards to form a transmission...

And then there's the console, which I modified from the cockpit of an American flight simulator game.

That's basically the situation!

Listening to him describe the specific data of the aircraft, I had no idea how extraordinary it was before I knew about it.

But after learning these basic data, a sense of superiority washed over them.

To Chief Cui, these descriptions sounded like something out of a fairy tale—a small car-sized aircraft capable of reaching Mach 1.5 with a range of approximately 900 kilometers.

This is clearly a quasi-unmanned combat aircraft, not a model aircraft. If anyone tells him that this aircraft is a model aircraft, he will definitely get angry.

And what is the maximum takeoff weight? 2.8 tons. With 1.6 tons of fuel, you only need two hardpoints on the wings or fuselage.

The latest small air-to-ground multi-purpose missile from Kyushu weighs less than 200 kilograms, and the aircraft can carry five of these small missiles.

Moreover, such drones are also fighter jets with high maneuverability.

After he finished introducing the various data of his model airplane, Chief Cui remained silent for a long time, and he himself fell into a reverie.

The two pilots weren't particularly surprised by the data, because they had already been thoroughly outmatched in the air once before.

They weren't surprised by what performance this little thing could deliver.

Thinking about all this, Chief Cui became so excited that he couldn't control himself. He stood up from his seat and slammed both hands on the table.

"Come on, let my men fly your drones. It's not that I don't believe your data; it's that I've always believed in the facts!"

After saying that, Chief Cui turned around and walked towards the door, calling out to the two pilots who had just landed as he went.

"You two come over here too, you'll be test pilots in a bit!"

They returned to the runway after only ten minutes or so, and Chief Cui made many phone calls on the way.

Before long, when they arrived at the hangar where the model airplanes were temporarily stored, there were already many people waiting there.

The group waiting there consisted not only of soldiers in blue service uniforms, but also a team of soldiers in ground crew uniforms; all of them were waiting together.

As he approached the hangar, he saw his model airplane again, along with the simulator cockpit next to it.

After seeing the model airplane again, he then looked at the other people in the hangar.

Inside the hangar, there were four people in civilian clothes, one of whom looked like Chief Cui.

"Hey Lao Cui, what's wrong? Why did you call me over so urgently? It's not because of this little thing in the hangar, is it?"

I just came back from my old boss's place, and I've barely sat down in the office yet!

I just saw it too. Aside from the nice design, there's nothing particularly special about it!

Hearing his partner's question, Chief Cui couldn't help but chuckle mischievously and said, "Haha, you're mistaken. You missed out on some things from your old boss. Let me tell you, don't underestimate this little gadget; it can fly at supersonic speeds, even a Raptor couldn't catch it!"

The base commander listened with disbelief, wondering when the Raptors had become a unit of speed.

"Are you serious? I don't believe a word of it!"

When questioned about the correct placement of the item, Chief Cui simply smiled.

"Haha, don't be skeptical, we'll find out now."

After speaking with the person in the right position, he began to make arrangements for everyone present.

"Xiao Li, come here. It's your turn to perform now. See that ground crew over there?"

They are responsible for assisting you with pre-flight preparations; you can directly assign them tasks.

When Chief Cui said that the ground crew would directly follow his orders, it was at that moment that he was completely relieved.

I feel that since I asked this question, I shouldn't have any major problems. It's probably just a matter of violating aviation regulations or something.

Since the other party wants to conduct various experiments on my model airplane, let's start the preparations for takeoff now!

First, guided by ground crew, they found the power source in the hangar and connected the power to the control cockpit.

Afterwards, he took the ground crew to the model airplane and inspected it to see if everything was normal.

After checking everything, apart from two lead-acid batteries being slightly depleted, there were no other problems.

I checked the low-voltage power supply of the model airplane, and it's fully capable of providing energy before takeoff, so there's no need to charge the battery. Once we take off, electricity won't be a problem.

After inspecting the model aircraft, he climbed into the cockpit and performed a pre-flight self-check.

While he was performing his self-check, the ground crew was learning, and the two pilots were also watching him perform the self-check procedure.

At this moment, the two pilots were treating the model airplane as their own equipment.

It's uncertain who will fly this model airplane in the future, but it will definitely be one of the two of them.

As for Li Zhenhua, he wasn't confident he could get the model airplane back; it truly was a "disposable model airplane."

After completing all the self-checks, he and the ground crew refueled the model airplane.

To Li Zhenhua's surprise, he added a total of 190 liters of fuel this time.

He estimated that the distance he flew was about 600 kilometers, so the total distance the model airplane could fly was 1200 kilometers.

This was quite impressive. Thinking this, he didn't say anything. Then, with the help of the ground crew, he pushed the model airplane onto the runway outside.

Meanwhile, several leaders watching from the sidelines began to whisper among themselves.

Especially since the base was positioned right next to Chief Cui.

"Old Cui, you know what, this process actually looks quite professional, with ground crew checks and power-on self-tests."

If I didn't know it was just a small thing less than four meters long, I would have definitely thought it was some country's main fourth-generation fighter jet based on its appearance.

But honestly, he's really handsome!

Chief Choi wasn't annoyed that his partner still didn't believe what he had just said; he was actually quite looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Zhengwei would make later.

"Ha, don't underestimate me, you'll be amazed in a minute."

While these leaders were chatting, Li Zhenhua had already returned from the runway, and the first pilot of the Falcon team had already climbed into the flight simulator cockpit.
