Seven days passed by in a hurry, and the runway of the war-prepared airport was brightly lit for a long time.
The ground crew is carefully checking the runway, which has not been used for a long time. They need to conduct pre-takeoff inspections to ensure that there are no foreign objects on the runway that may affect the takeoff and landing of the aircraft.
The airport tower in the distance also lit up the lights for a long time and entered the active state, and a large number of people stayed here, preparing to watch the upcoming aircraft test flight.
¡°Runway No. 1 has been inspected. There are no foreign objects or ice, and it is ready for take-off.¡± News that the inspection was completed soon came on the runway.
"The runway has been confirmed. Please take off the test aircraft from runway one." After receiving the message, the wisdom of the tower said through the intercom to the aircraft that had been pushed out of the hangar and was ready to take off.
"The test aircraft has been received and is taxiing into the runway." Soon a reply came from the test machine.
From the window of the airport tower, you can clearly see a plane slowly sliding from the hangar to the end of the runway, adjusting its position and preparing to take off.
"Can it really fly?" The leader who came to watch the test flight asked the people around him, seeming worried.
"Don't worry, leader. Although Academician Chen is young, the projects he is responsible for have never had problems." The staff beside the leader said quickly. Although they were a little suspicious of blindly believing Chen Xin, it was obvious at this time that It is impossible to pour cold water on it.
After all, who knows whether the leader is really worried or just asking casually?
However, there are certain hidden dangers in this test flight. Chen Xin's ability to complete the aircraft's modification plan and specific modifications in such a short period of time is already very impressive, but now he has to do a test flight as well, which can't help but make people feel a little worried.
Although Chen Xin did complete the modification plan on time in seven days, he also completed the modification of the aircraft used for the modification experiment and pushed it onto the runway to prepare for a test flight, but this time was really too short.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention rigorous technical demonstration, the aircraft itself needs to go through a series of strict inspections and acceptances to ensure that the inspections are correct before it can actually conduct a test flight.
But now it has only been seven days since Chen Xin took over the mission and was pushed onto the runway.
Although Chen Xin has organized manpower to conduct technical demonstrations and various inspections after completing the transformation, there is no problem in theory, but who can guarantee that there will really be no problems after the aircraft flies?
You must know that even an aircraft that has passed technical demonstrations and various inspections will still have various problems during test flights. After all, no one knows what kind of situations the aircraft will encounter when it actually flies into the sky. If you are not careful, the result will be destruction of the machine and death of people.
This is why test pilots are the most elite pilots and why aircraft test flights are still one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
If possible, the leader would certainly not let the precious pilots take risks like this, and would ask technicians to conduct more detailed technical demonstrations and inspections, let alone give Chen Xin only seven days to get a result.
However, there is really not enough time, and there is no room to take it slow.
During the seven days that Chen Xin was renovating the aircraft, volcanic ash from the Toba volcano had spread to Qiongzhou and Guangdong Province. Although the earthquake did not trigger a tsunami because the sea was covered with ice, a large amount of ice cracked and even partially The broken ice was pushed up to the coastline, still making people feel the existence of the crisis.
In addition, the most important thing is that in the past seven days, a 3.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in the southwest region. Although the magnitude was not strong, it made everyone nervous.
This earthquake may be just a very ordinary geological activity. After all, the southwest region itself is in an earthquake-prone area.
But what if? What if the eruption of Toba volcano affects the seismic zone in the southwest and makes it active?
No one dares to bet on this possibility.
What the country can do now is to prepare in time and make all preparations that can be made in advance to avoid being in a hurry when a disaster may occur in the future.
"Where is Comrade Chen Xin? Won't he come to see the test flight?" The leader turned his eyes and did not see Chen Xin on the tower.
The staff member quickly replied: "Academician Chen is at the hangar and said he was doing a final inspection before the plane took off."
"I understand." The leader nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, the aircraft on the runway has completed all pre-takeoff inspections and is ready toPrepared for takeoff.
"Tower, this is a test aircraft, please take off." The pilot's voice seemed a little nervous, but he still applied for takeoff with a firm voice.
The commander of the tower looked at the leader, and when he saw the leader nodded, he said to the pilot: "Test aircraft, this is the tower, permission to take off."
After finishing speaking, the commander seemed to hesitate for a moment and said for the first time: "Have a safe journey."
Hearing this, the pilot was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded: "Thank you for the blessing, I am about to take off."
As the pilot¡¯s words fell, everyone in the tower saw the plane that had stopped at the end of the runway begin to slide forward and continue to accelerate.
At this moment, everyone in the tower was heartbroken and looked nervously at this fixed-wing aircraft, which was the first to take off after the meteorite hit Blue Star.
As the speed of the plane got faster and faster, and it got closer and closer to the end of the runway, the nose of the plane finally lifted up, and the whole plane roared up from the runway and rushed into the night sky.
Seeing the plane take off successfully, everyone in the tower cheered and even clapped.
Although this seems to be just an ordinary night flight, it means that humans have finally left their footprints in the sky again.
However, flying does not mean that there are no problems. The situation on the ground is far better than in the sky. Most of the particles and dust have fallen to about the same level in more than a year, but the dust suspended in the sky and There are still a lot of particles.
Especially above the stratosphere, because the original air flow is relatively stable, a large amount of fine dust and particles remain suspended in the air for a long time and will not fall down in a short time.
This also leads to the fact that when the aircraft enters the stratosphere, the engine will inevitably inhale a large amount of dust and particles due to the air intake, causing wear and tear on the precision parts in the engine.
Although Chen Xin has installed an air filter on the air intake duct of the aircraft, the specific effect can only be known by flying in the sky and actually flying around.
