The L/A project is the acronym for Laser/Attack. Nowadays, the practical application of high-energy laser weapons is no longer limited to science fiction works, but a real future trend.

Due to the unparalleled high-speed characteristics of the speed of light, it can achieve the performance of hitting wherever you point it, with almost no delay. This makes laser weapons inherently unparalleled in accuracy. At the same time, there are always missile branches in today's weapon family.

They are susceptible to the problem of electromagnetic interference, but laser weapons do not have this worry. Moreover, laser weapons are much smaller and lighter than conventional weapons, are easy to carry, and also have quite good prospects in terms of battlefield flexibility.

Of course, laser weapons are not perfect. No matter how concentrated the laser energy is, in the final analysis, it is still a type of light, and lasers are indispensable for all the characteristics of light.

The biggest problem with laser weapons is that they cannot operate all-weather. Under certain special meteorological conditions, the performance of laser weapons will be affected, such as heavy fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain. Moreover, the atmosphere itself will absorb laser energy. At the same time, the atmosphere

Energy attenuation caused by disturbance, thermal halo effect, turbulence and attenuation caused by beam jitter will all affect the final attack effect of the laser weapon.

Of course, these are all objective factors of the environment. In fact, the biggest reason for limiting laser weapons is that there has been no breakthrough in high-energy battery technology for storing high-energy laser energy.

The launch system of laser weapons is not that complicated. What is complicated is the method of storing laser energy. However, this key high-energy battery technology was conquered not long ago by the South's High-Energy Laser Application Research Institute II.

Once high-energy battery technology is conquered, weaponized laser weapons will no longer be a distant thing.

As the latest type of offensive weapon, it naturally needs to be equipped with the most advanced carrier. The C42, the most advanced fighter aircraft in China that is about to be mass-produced, is undoubtedly the best carrier.

This time Ying Ruoqing, the L/A project leader of the Second Laser Institute, came here to discuss the compatibility of laser weapons with C42 with Ye Qing, the chief designer of C42.

"I heard that Ying Ruoqing is not even thirty years old. It's unbelievable. She is too young." Li Cheng sighed.

There is a High-Energy Laser Application Research Institute in the north of the country, which was originally the leader in laser application technology research in the country. The research on the weaponization of laser technology is a key project of this institute. However, due to the high-energy battery technology has been unable to overcome, laser

Progress on the weapons project stalled for a time.

However, five or six years ago, the High Energy Laser Application Research Institute in the north established a branch in the south, namely the High Energy Laser Application Research Institute No. 2.

Three years ago, a young woman named Ying Ruoqing entered the Second Institute of Research in the South. After that, she rose as fast as a rocket, and finally became the person in charge of the L/A project. As many people

When questioning how Ying Ruoqing could take the position of leader of the L/A project at such a young age, Ying Ruoqing announced the news that high-energy battery technology had been conquered. Suddenly, the people of the Second Institute of High-Energy Laser Application Research

The limelight even changed the headquarters.

After this battle, Ying Ruoqing has firmly established itself in the field of domestic laser applications, and no one has any doubts anymore.

Wang Chenchen was also very touched: "We are all old, and today's young people are more powerful than the others. We will soon have those back waves hitting the beach."

"It's good to take the photo on the beach! It means that there is a successor." Li Cheng said with a smile: "By the way, after Xu Xian passes the recruitment assessment, he can receive training on other types of aircraft. If this guy wants to learn C14 or

What to do with C18? Not to mention our side, there are no C14 or C18 aircraft instructors in the entire Western Air Force!"

The C14 and C18 are actually full-fledged carrier-based aircraft models, almost exclusively used by naval aviation. It is not that no one here can fly these two models, but being able to fly and being able to teach them are two different concepts.

"If you really want to learn C14 and C18, you can only go to the Navy." Wang Chenchen sighed: "The people in the Navy have been very arrogant recently. I don't know if Xu Xian can adapt there."

In recent years, the country has vigorously developed its navy. The navy, which had suffered a lot of cowardice in the past, has become very proud recently. Warships are like dumplings. All kinds of new warships are emerging in an endless stream, even aircraft carriers that were previously out of reach.

, now the navy is also equipped.

With this rapid development momentum, the people in the Navy must be walking with their heads held high.

"If Xu Xian really wants to learn C14 or C18 later, let's explain the situation to him. If he still insists, there will be nothing we can do." Li Cheng said.

No matter how you say it, the Air Force is still half of its own family. The Navy is no match for the Luohang fleet, so they won’t care about their face. With Xu Xian’s arrogant and arrogant temperament, it’s unlikely that he will suffer in the Navy.

Woolen cloth.

"That will happen in the future. For now, let's finish the assessment for his new recruits to join the team."

Li Cheng nodded: "Go and do your work. There have been a lot of things lately, so you should worry more."

Whether it is a tripartite joint exercise or receiving the person in charge of the laser weapon project of the Second Research Institute, it is a laborious matter, and Wang Chenchen must be prepared to endure hardships.

"It's all as it should be." Wang Chenchen said with a smile, then exited the captain's office and went about his own business.

In the office, Li Cheng was tapping on the desktop, which seemed quite melodic. His eyes were a little divergent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

Riverside Supervision Bureau!

"I also have to be investigated? What does it have to do with me?" In a small room, two investigators from the Northeast Bureau looked at Xu Xian without blinking, making Xu Xian very depressed.

Early this morning, Xu Xian was planning to go out to see if the runway cleaning at Huining Airport had been completed. His training plan had been delayed and he didn't want to wait any longer.

As a result, as soon as I left the dormitory, I was taken to the communication room by people from the security office. Waiting in the communication room were the two investigators from the Northeast Bureau in front of me.

The two people came up and said that they heard Xu Xian's voice in the radio call on the day of the engine fly-off incident, and that they needed to take Xu Xian back for a routine investigation.

Xu Xian was speechless on the spot. He didn't seem to have done anything. He just said a few words on the radio, and then he was going to be investigated. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?

However, the Northeast Bureau came to visit, and Xu Xian would be a bit ignorant if he still refused to cooperate. Even though he was complaining a lot, Xu Xian finally went to the nearest Binjiang Supervision Bureau with the Northeast Bureau people.

"I didn't say it had anything to do with you, so don't worry. You just talked on the radio. We are just doing a routine investigation and it won't take long." One of the middle-aged men said with a smile.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes: "I never leave my name when doing good deeds..."

"Hahaha, I know, I know, Mr. Xu is so warm-hearted." The middle-aged man laughed and said: "We listened to the cabin sound and radio of the fly-away incident, and what Mr. Xu said in it was the reason for the uncommanded deflection of the aircraft.

The fact that the leading edge device retracts has been confirmed by the technical department yesterday. It hits the nail on the head and points directly to the point. I’m talking about Mr. Xu.”

"Hmph!" Xu Xian curled his lips: "I came here just to listen to your compliments?"

"Mr. Xu, don't be angry, just follow the procedure, follow the procedure." The middle-aged man waved to the young colleague beside him, and the young man immediately took out a thin stack of documents from his bag and handed it to the middle-aged man: "

This is what you said on the radio. We have recorded it in writing. Take a look and see if there are any mistakes. If you have any objections or cannot remember anything, we can call up the recording and compare it.

Mr. Xu, you have to be careful. As long as you confirm that there is no problem with this record, we will seal the record document in the file of this incident."

"It turns out it was just for checking the voice content. I thought it was something!" Xu Xian took the file and started flipping through the pages: "As for the recording, let's play it together."

"Mr. Xu, do you want to compare with the recording?" the middle-aged man asked.

Xu Xian smiled: "Although my memory is better, it is not as good as a machine. I am still more rigorous in recording."

"Okay." The middle-aged man told the young man: "Go and get the recording."

The young man nodded and quickly left the room. Now only Xu Xian and the middle-aged man were left inside. While waiting, Xu Xian was moved and asked curiously: "Has the cause of this incident been revealed?"

The middle-aged man said expressionlessly: "No comment."

"Hey! It's not going to be announced in the end." Xu Xian said disdainfully: "Then let me ask you a question that doesn't need to be kept confidential. Where is the crew? Is it here or at the Northeast Administration Headquarters?"

"This?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was really nothing worth keeping secret. The crew had completed the main investigation yesterday: "The crew has all returned to Yunnan."

"Where's Hui Dian Yun? All of them?" Xu Xian was stunned.

"Yes! All of them! Or is it the return flight we arranged for them? Is there any problem?" the middle-aged man asked.

"No, no problem." Xu Xian waved his hand: "It's just a little sudden."

Lian Shanxue actually returned to Dianyun without saying a word, even saying hello to him.

"By the way! The co-pilot Lian Shanxue in the crew asked me to give you something." As he said that, the middle-aged man took out a folded note from his pocket and handed it to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian took the note with doubts, opened it, and found something written on it: "I'm back to Dianyun, don't think about it, don't worry about it, don't miss it!"

This handwriting is extremely delicate and elegant, and it looks like Lian Shanxue's handwriting at first glance.

"Don't think about it, don't worry about it, don't think about it!" Xu Xian directly crumpled the note into a ball: "What on earth is she thinking in her mind? Where did she offend her?"

Before that, when Xu Xian met Lian Shanxue by chance in a restaurant, Lian Shanxue's behavior was not normal. Now he returned to Dianyun without even saying hello. Anyway, he still helped in the engine flying incident.

Of course, you can't just say hello without saying hello. Didn't you also leave a note? But what was written on it was not acceptable to Xu Xian.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Lian Shanxue wants to draw a clear line with himself!

But what is the reason for drawing a clear line? Xu Xian couldn't figure it out even if he racked his brain.

Just when Xu Xian was thinking hard to no avail, the middle-aged man opposite suddenly said: "During this period, Mr. Xu disappeared. Unexpectedly, he joined the military aviation."

This was a very ordinary statement, but Xu Xian always felt that there was something in this person's words: "The bureau just suspended my commercial operation qualification, and it can't control the Air Force, right?"

"No, no, no, I think Mr. Xu had a misunderstanding. I didn't question your operational qualifications. I was just wondering whether Mr. Xu was going to stay in the military aviation industry for a long time in the future, or whether he would wait until the previous incident had passed.

Return to civil aviation.”

Xu Xianyi frowned: "What do you mean?"

"In fact, based on my understanding of Mr. Xu, there is no doubt about Mr. Xu's skills. I heard that Mr. Xu found another technical institution to repair the damaged flight recorder, but it should take a long time. Mr. Xu again

If you keep waiting like this, even if you prove your innocence in the future and you may want to come back, there will be no place for Mr. Xu in civil aviation."

Xu Xian's mind was spinning quickly, and his eyes were slightly focused: "It seems that the bureau is very satisfied with Lian Shanxue's handling of this incident."

"Mr. Xu is still quick-thinking!" The middle-aged man smiled: "It's time and fate. I just feel a little unworthy for Mr. Xu."

"Is it worth it? And I'm not interested in it in the first place. You just think too much." Xu Xian looked up and found that the young man who went to get the recording had returned, so he calmed down and stopped.

Struggled with what the middle-aged man said.

Although Xu Xian sounded indifferent in his words, only Xu Xian knew whether it really didn't matter.

Seeing that Xu Xian's expression did not change at all, the middle-aged man did not continue the topic. He moved the player that the young man had brought over to Xu Xian's side and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you can start."

...

The comparison of the radio content was carried out very quickly. Xu Xian did not say much during the incident, so the word-for-word comparison took less than an hour.

After completing the content comparison, there was nothing else to do. Xu Xian had no interest in continuing to stay at the Binjiang Supervision Bureau and immediately wanted to go back to Huining Airport.

The two investigators from the Northeast Bureau originally planned to send Xu Xian back. However, Xu Xian refused. The Binjiang Supervision Bureau is not very far from Huining Airport, and it won't take long to walk back. Besides, Xu Xian happened to be there.
To be continued...
