    "Awen, do you think today's test flight will be successful?"

    Liu Yuan stood beside Zhou Weiguo and said softly.

    Usually, in front of people, they all call him "Zi Zuo" and only call him "Awen" in private.

    "I don't know! I don't know either. But the first-generation helicopter was able to fly last time. This time after so many improvements, it is no problem to fly. I just don't know how its performance is."

    Zhou Weiguo is also not sure. It is not too difficult to build a plane that can fly into the sky.  Little did they know that in later generations, a Shanxi farmer could build a frame-structured airplane and fly into the sky.

    But the key is its performance, not just because it can fly into the sky.

    Like the first-generation helicopter they developed before, it could fly into the sky, but its performance was too poor to be used on the battlefield. So in the end, neither the Army Ministry nor the Air Force Ministry adopted it.

    As for the use of helicopters in the navy, the requirements are even greater. The wind and waves on the sea are very strong. To be able to be used by the navy, they must be able to withstand the wind and waves.

    "Commissioners! At this time, Minister of the Army Li Delin and Minister of the Air Force Liu Cuigang came over in the distance.

    But Chen Houfu, the Minister of the Navy, slowly walked over from a distance.  He did not walk with Liu Cuigang and the others.

    Back then, the Navy robbed the Air Force of thousands of elite pilots. Up to now, the Navy and the Air Force are still fighting secretly, and neither side accepts the other.

    "Well! You are all here! Liu Cuigang, have you obtained the basic theoretical data of this aircraft?"

    Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Cuigang and asked.

    "I got it! The speed of this helicopter is not very fast, with a maximum speed of only more than 200 kilometers per hour. Its maximum ceiling is only more than 2,000 meters. I estimate that the practical ceiling is about 1,500 meters.

    Its maximum take-off weight is also very small, and its range is only a short 600 kilometers.  To be honest, I am not very optimistic about this helicopter!  "

    It is still in the early stages of helicopter development, and its performance is not very good.  Regardless of ceiling, speed or range, even stability is still far behind.

    Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said nothing. Helicopters cannot compare their performance with fighter jets.

    And helicopters are not used for air combat, they have other functions.  It's just that it's still in its initial development stage, and maybe its current performance isn't that good.

    But when it develops to a certain level, helicopters will become indispensable in other fields.

    "Commissioner, I'm coming!"

    At this time, Liu Zhihui ran out of breath and ran from a distance.  There was a slight drop of sweat on his face, and he looked like he had come in a hurry.

    "What's wrong? You look out of breath."

    Zhou Weiguo frowned.

    "A material allocation order has just been signed. Du Qingming's mechanized group army has been transferred to Tai O. They have relatively high requirements for logistics materials, so they have been dealt with first!"

    Liu Zhihui said after calming down his breathing.

    Zhou Weiguo nodded and said nothing more.

    After a while, two old men and a middle-aged Chinese man came over.

    The two old men were wearing suits, and the middle-aged Chinese man was wearing a robe and looked like a businessman.

    "Commissioner, this person's name is Song Ming. He is the chairman of Huaming Aerospace Technology Company. Before the development of helicopters, his company was ranked among the top twenty in the aerospace industry.

    Later, because of his love for helicopters and the recruitment of two Slavic scientists, he began to get involved in the development project of helicopters.

    When the first-generation helicopter was developed, his company had already failed in the competition, causing the entire company's market value to drop rapidly. He originally expected to rely on helicopters to rise again.

    It¡¯s just that neither the Army Department nor the Air Force Department took a fancy to his work. Later, if you hadn¡¯t allocated a sum of funds to him, I¡¯m afraid his company would not be able to survive.

    The two Slavs standing next to him are the two talents he recruited.  They were originally aircraft designers belonging to the former Soviet Union's Aerospace Research Laboratory.

    At that time, the former Soviet Union was already developing helicopters, and the two of them were participants.  Later, the former Soviet Union carried out a major purge, and their chief helicopter designer was arrested and eventually died.

    And they survived because they switched to studying fighter planes in time.  To SuAfter the war, the two of them fled to Siberia because they were afraid of being implicated because they heard that the Voluntary Army was committing crimes of burning, killing, and looting in the territory of the former Soviet Union.

    Later, while wandering in Siberia, Huaming Aerospace Technology went to recruit the lost talents of the former Soviet Russia, and recruited the two of them!  "

    Liu Yuan stood beside Zhou Weiguo and told him the information about the three people who came over.  The reason why Liu Yuan is so familiar with these three people is because of this helicopter.

    He has been following the development of helicopters before, and has been in contact with the three of them for a long time.  So I know a lot about them.

    These two old fools, one is called Alexei and the other is named Valery.

    "Well! Go talk to them and ask them to start test flights as soon as possible. I want to see their redesigned helicopter."

    Zhou Weiguo did not ask these two old men whether they knew Chinese or why they were in China.

    This was also an original policy. Although China has strict requirements for outsiders to enter, only talents are exempted.

    Scientists, designers, etc., they don¡¯t need to be included in this list.  You can directly rely on your own abilities to work in China.

    "good!"

    After a while, a test pilot boarded the helicopter, and the helicopter began to slowly leave the ground while the propellers rotated rapidly.

    Zhou Weiguo, Liu Yuan and others opened their eyes and looked at the helicopter slowly leaving the ground without blinking.

    The helicopter hovered in the sky, pulled up and performed various actions before slowly landing on the ground.

    The helicopter landed, and Zhou Weiguo turned his head and glanced at the surrounding wind.

    March is about to end, and this is the time when the wind is not letting up.

    There is a lot of wind every day, and just now the helicopter was doing various actions in such strong wind.

    "Liu Cuigang, what do you think?"

    Zhou Weiguo asked, looking at Liu Cuigang next to him without moving his head.

    "It's okay, but I don't know the details."

    Zhou Weiguo looked at Army Minister Li Delin with a smile.

    "De Lin, what do you think of this helicopter?"

    Li Delin licked his lips and said: "Judging from the current situation, this helicopter can indeed complete some of our army's tasks.

    battlefield emergency transportation, battlefield rescue, etc.  But if it can be loaded with weapons and ammunition and produce ground attack capabilities as the committee member said, I think our Army Department can purchase it!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
