Chapter 146 The Complete Large Aircraft

While Li Zhenhua was busy assembling the aircraft, he was unaware of the punishment he was about to face!

After discussion among many old men in Beiping, he was sentenced to six months of military control as punishment!

What is military control? Generally speaking, it is a special form of mandatory management and control implemented in a region or industry.

So what did this word mean to him? It meant after he finished dealing with the airplane issue.

The military will conduct a six-month military training program on him; literally, he will be treated as a special case.

He was considered a specially recruited soldier by the military, given military status within his platoon, and became a member of the Kyushu People's Liberation Army.

During his time in the military camp, he would be supervised by someone in the evenings to study laws and regulations.

Before him, there had been no instance of such military control over an individual.

It can be said that this set a precedent for him, and it can also be seen as a form of protection for talented people like him.

The punishment has been decided, and the old men have handed over the details. Next, someone will coordinate these matters.

Li Zhenhua was unaware of the problems he was about to face, and continued to happily assemble the eight-meter-long aircraft.

Meanwhile, at Chang'an Power, Gu Changkong, after much deliberation and repeated questioning, decided not to tell them the truth.

Seeing Gu Changkong's attitude, Chang'an knew that the matter was likely highly confidential, so they didn't press further.

Subsequently, the vice president of Changan Power took charge of the engine test drive.

They then conducted a series of thrust vector tests on the engine, and the data they obtained was astonishing.

There are many things to test on an engine, and it's impossible to finish testing it in a day. Right now, they're only doing a rough test.

In the following period, the engine will undergo even more rigorous testing.

With the help of many technicians, Li Zhenhua worked for more than half a month and a half to put an eight-meter-long, eight-and-a-half-meter-wingspan, and two-meter-high aircraft into the workshop.

After the assembly was completed, Yan Hang, who had to go out, put down what he was doing and ran towards the workshop.

When he entered the workshop, he saw the airplane surrounded by assembly ladders in the center.

After the old man arrived, he immediately directed people to remove all the ladders surrounding the airplane.

It was at this moment that the plane officially met everyone.

At this moment, the aircraft's outer shell is still the original material color, without any paint, and the shell, composed of many carbon fibers and glass fibers, is still black.

"Come on, everyone, get moving again and paint this plane to look like a prototype."

After the aircraft was officially unveiled, Yan Hang noticed a problem with the paint job and directed everyone to repaint the aircraft once again, giving it a green and tan color scheme.

The consistent "rustic" style seems to imply a lack of combat power. This was true of the original Dragon, the Fortune 31, and now the Falcon Dragon, as if it were a legacy.

After everyone's hard work, a light brown airplane with a green nose was finally completed.

Looking at the extremely cool fighter jet in front of him, Yan Hang was so excited that he could hardly stand.

"Grandpa, please don't get agitated. This plane is only half complete."

You haven't forgotten, have you? I only manufactured the mechanical parts of the airplane; I haven't put any electronics or anything like that in yet!

After his reminder, Yan Hang finally remembered that the plane was still a non-flying plane, and none of the control systems or other equipment inside were installed!

But he didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he spoke to him calmly and confidently, as if he had everything under control.

"Hmm, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Our Hongdu factory is a large state-owned enterprise. Before the reform and opening up, our factory alone was like a small society.

Even now, our development is comprehensive.

What's wrong with the flight control system? Our factory still has people with expertise in this area.

"Just you wait, I'll call for backup right now. Don't worry, this will definitely be much better than the control system you cobbled together before."

After saying that, Yan Hang made a phone call to someone. Not long after, more than twenty people walked in through the workshop door. There were men and women, young and old.

The group was led by a young man and an old man, and they were intentionally or unintentionally divided into two groups.

In general, it means the young stay together and the old stay together.

Yan Hang walked to the front of the two groups and, without saying any nonsense, directly gave orders to the two groups.

"Xiao Han, you'll be in charge of flight control and information transmission this time."

And Lao Han, this time you should stick to your old ways, modify the radar you used on the Sharp Sword and install it on this aircraft!

Also, you two need to work together this time, father and son. Don't argue over trivial matters, and don't let others laugh at you.

After giving instructions to the person in charge of the two teams, he stopped paying attention to them and went to Li Zhenhua's side.

"Don't take it personally. With a big factory, we have all sorts of people, but as for their professional skills, don't worry. Old Han and Little Han know their limits."

Li Zhenhua nodded in understanding at this explanation, and then asked Yan Hang about the striking resemblance between the two leaders.

"These two look so alike, could they be father and son?"

Li Zhenhua's casual remark turned out to be correct; the two were indeed father and son.

"You're absolutely right. This is a father and son. The son embraces new things, but some of his ideas aren't supported by the older generation."

The older comrades, on the other hand, still hold onto their old-fashioned views, but they have never fallen behind in certain matters.

The current situation is that of a father and son, neither of whom can convince the other, so they've become locked in a stalemate.

But don't worry, even if the two of them have some disagreements, when it comes to serious matters, the father and son are absolutely uncompromising.

With Yan Hang's explanation, he handed over the aircraft's control system and other components.

Of course, it wasn't that he was indifferent to it; he was still keeping a close eye on both groups, whether it was the progress or anything else.

The two groups of people gave him a very professional impression, which made him realize what professionalism really means.

After that, he was completely relieved to hand over these tasks to the two groups of people.

Xiao Han's team was in charge of flight control and transmission, and he felt that the other party was a powerful IT elite.

They were already highly skilled in designing and manufacturing flight control systems, and the plan was quickly put on the table by Xiao Han.

After everyone reviewed it, they all agreed that it was good, and Xiao Han's group began to solve the first problem, such as the flight control system.

Xiao Han, being a young man, had some understanding of game simulators, but the other party didn't use one.

Li Zhenhua also specifically sought out Xiao Han to discuss this issue, spending an entire afternoon with him.

"Xiao Han, why didn't you choose a game cockpit as your control panel? Do you think realistic controls aren't good enough?"

"Mr. Li, I'm also a proponent of realistic control, so I don't need the cockpit you mentioned before."

It's because that company wasn't a pure company; he also boycotted Western cotton and posted about micro-manure pits.

Therefore, I will never buy products from such companies!

Moreover, I also have our own self-developed cockpit, which doesn't require modification and allows me to see the scene in all six directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down.

After this explanation, everything became clear. It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't use this method, but rather that they were very powerful and had their own system in this area.

Products developed independently are naturally more secure in certain situations, and there is no risk of them being cracked.

"Okay, I see. Then you can get started. If you need any help, feel free to come to me!"

Next, the aircraft's control system was entirely handed over to Xiao Han's team, with him providing assistance.

In the meantime, Xiao Han's team also solved the information transmission system between the aircraft and the ground.

Here, I must mention how great it feels to have the country backing you up.

He had racked his brains trying to solve the problem of information transmission, and finally managed to barely manage to put together a transmission system by combining 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies.

But what about now? It's very simple; they're using satellite network for transmission, and there's no limit to the data allowance.

This also ensures the security of the transmission system and makes it difficult to crack.

Upon learning that the aircraft was using satellite transmission, his eyes lit up with joy; it was truly a feeling of happiness.

While Xiao Han's team was solving these two major system problems, Lao Han was also on the plane, installing their active phased array radar after a series of improvements.

If you open the nose of the aircraft, you'll see that the nose section is filled with a complex radar system.

Moreover, Lao Han also installed the entire reconnaissance and photography system inside the plane.

The father and son looked at the interior of the plane, which had been cleared out for the pilot's seat, and started stuffing things inside, thinking of all sorts of things on a whim.

Many systems that shouldn't have been installed on the plane were crammed in as well, until there was simply no more room inside, at which point the two of them finally let go.

After the father and son's work, this aircraft, with the addition of some external hardpoints and missiles, could become a complete unmanned combat aircraft.

Once all the internal systems of the aircraft were installed, the aircraft parked in the workshop truly reached a total weight of five tons.

Now, all the data for this aircraft have been labeled.

It is 8 meters long, has a wingspan of up to 8.5 meters, is 2 meters high, and weighs 5 tons.

The intermediate thrust is 3 tons per unit and 6 tons for two units, with a maximum afterburner thrust of 8.4 tons.

In terms of thrust, it can be mounted on attack weapons weighing at least two tons.

Variable sweep wings, three-dimensional thrust vectoring turbofan engine, and simulated driving.

With numerous advantages combined, all that remains is to conduct overall testing of the aircraft.

Let's see if the test results of this aircraft are consistent with, or even exceed, their predicted results.

Standing in front of the plane, Li Zhenhua was already eager to see it flying in the sky.
