The next day, Yang Xiaotao returned to the machinery factory.
At this time, the landing gear manufactured by Jiangling Machinery Factory had been delivered.
This means that all the production supporting parts for the Baiju fighter jet are complete.
In the workshop, Mr. Chen stood aside, accompanied by Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning.
As for Mr. Peng, he seems to have something to deal with. He went out yesterday and did not come back.
Yang Xiaotao walked among a pile of parts, checking them from time to time.
Workers in the mechanical and electrical factory are checking the performance of accessories.
Most of the previously installed components have already been installed in place.
So the Baiju that Yang Xiaotao saw was actually a semi-finished product.
After walking around among the components and checking the aircraft again, Yang Xiaotao said with satisfaction, "Director Zhang, if there is no problem, let's start assembling it."
"Every department must work together to assemble the aircraft before going to bed tomorrow."
Zhang Guanyu, Wu Zhe, Wang Xushan and others immediately took the order.
This time Yang Xiaotao did not participate in the assembly, and all the work was handed over to others.
"Chief, it should be fine."
"But the time may have to be postponed by one day."
Walking up to Mr. Chen, Yang Xiaotao spoke seriously.
Liu Huaimin took out a cigarette and several people lit it.
"Two planes should be enough."
Yang Youning spoke, and Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Who knows?"
Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Liu Huaimin even asked, "That's not what you said before."
"Yes, you were full of confidence before."
Several people were talking, while Yang Xiaotao was smoking a cigarette, "What I'm saying is that I have confidence, but it also depends on whether the other party gives me a chance."
"Besides, if we want to knock it down, we still need to see if we have enough missiles."
After saying this, several people fell silent.
Mr. Chen turned the kettle in his hand again and again.
How much water can be filled in the barrel depends on the shortest piece of the barrel.
But now, this shortcoming is a weapon.
...
December 20, 1967.
Sijiucheng, aircraft factory.
Yang Xiaotao led the team again.
Compared with so many people who came last time, this time there were obviously more than half fewer people, mainly a few from the Red Star Machinery Factory.
This time, in order to witness the heroic appearance of the Baiju fighter, Chen Gong, Wang Guodong, Wu Zhe and others all followed.
In the command tower, Yang Xiaotao met Li Mingyu again.
"Mr. Yang, I'm so happy to see you. I'm especially happy to see you here."
Li Mingyu smiled very happily. Of course, this was also related to the plane outside the window.
"I think you will be happy when you see the plane."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Li Mingyu immediately laughed, "Everyone is happy, everyone is happy."
"By the way, Mr. Yang, please wait a moment. Chief Wang from the Seventh Machinery Department will come over soon to conduct experiments on missiles."
"Mr. Wang, do they also want to experiment?"
"Yes, this time the two planes are flying together. He wants to simulate the battlefield."
Hearing what Li Mingyu said, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin looked at each other. There was confusion on each other's faces. It was obvious that this matter was temporary.
"As long as there is no problem with them, there will be no problem with our aircraft."
Seeing this, Li Mingyu smiled and said, "That's good!"
Yang Xiaotao then introduced Chen Gong and several people. The two parties had met before, and then they sat down on the command tower and waited.
Below, the hangar.
As soon as the plane came in, the ground staff responsible for inspection immediately came forward and couldn't wait to get into the situation.
"Old braid, it's my turn this time, don't give random orders."
Lu Tuanjie stretched out his arms to protect the front. Bian Xiang rolled his eyes speechlessly, "The two of us agreed on Unit 1. This is Unit 2. What we said before does not count."
"It doesn't count? Don't lie, it's as promised."
"In this way, the No. 1 unit belongs to you, and the No. 2 unit belongs to me."
"Let's not talk about each other."
Lu Tuanjie told him his plan. Bian Xiang thought for a while and immediately shook his head, "That won't work. You are also in charge of the No. 1 machine. I have to try the No. 2 machine anyway."
"After this is over, I'll leave the rest to you."
"No, I won't be fooled by you."
Lu Tuanjie shouted loudly, "Old braid, let me tell you, the subsequent improvements of this aircraft must be made by us, Chengfei. You can go back and study your own J-8."
"Donkey Ball, what are you talking about? Our Shengjing improvement is the best. With such a good aircraft, how can you improve it with your technology and resources?"
"Why can't we compare? I have more students, so I'm no worse than you."
"Hey, it sounds like we have few students."
The two of them were fighting in front of the plane, refusing to give in to the other.
As for the people from other aircraft factories, they were all disciples in front of these two and they didn't dare to speak forcefully.
However, everyone has long been accustomed to their behavior and is no longer surprised.
However, the surrounding ground staff came to the plane without hesitation and quickly inspected it.
The hangar door.
Xie Yun followed a short middle-aged man.
This man is thin, with big eyes, single eyelids, thick eyebrows, and three-dimensional facial features. He looks capable.
Beside the two people, there were several other test pilots standing.
Among them are Huo Sheng and Chang Kong.
"Captain Ge, this is our car."
Xie Yun said to the middle-aged man from the side, but he never took off his eyes.
In the past few days, they have all taken turns to experience a Baiju fighter.
You won’t know until you try it. Once you try it, you will completely fall in love with this fighter.
Not to mention the speed.
Despite its size, it is very flexible in operation. You can do some actions that you would not dare to do on other aircraft on the Baiju.
It may be controversial to say that this is the best airplane in the world, but to say that it is the best airplane in China, absolutely no one dares to say no.
"I know, I saw it."
Captain Ge also stared closely and clenched his hands together, fearing that the plane would not be able to fly.
"Lao Ge, don't worry, this is an aircraft manufactured by a machinery factory, there must be no problem."
Huo Sheng came out and said comfortingly.
Although others are envious, they also understand that the better the aircraft, the more excellent pilots are needed to fly it, so that it can exert its maximum combat effectiveness.
During this period, they were specially trained and selected, especially the body's reaction when exceeding Mach 3, and the four of them were finally selected.
This time, no one had any opinions.
We can only look forward to the third one, the fourth one...
"Lao Huo, I can't wait to go up now."
"Then you have to wait."
"Who says it's not the case? I'm so impatient."
Captain Ge rubbed his hands, "When I did the test flight in Shengjing, I thought that model was already the best in the country, but I didn't want to have a better aircraft here, and it's such an excellent aircraft."
Huo Sheng stepped forward and nodded seriously.
"To be honest, I was a little excited when our two planes took off together."
"Haha, you have to fly quickly before we catch up."
"Of course, we are the first."
"Tch, that's because I didn't catch a cold, otherwise it wouldn't be your fault."
"Oh, Lao Ge, are you so confident?"
"It's necessary..."
"Then let's compare!"
"Bibi!"
While the two were talking, another Optimus Prime heavy truck drove up outside the airport. As the car stopped, two people jumped out of the car.
"Excuse me, who is Comrade Huo Sheng?"
Director Yan shouted loudly with an order, and Huo Sheng immediately ran forward after hearing the words.
"Hello, comrade, I am Huo Sheng."
Director Yan glanced at it and then handed the information over.
"Hello, Comrade Huo Sheng, we are the designer of the Pili-3 missile of the Seventh Machinery Department. This time we need your cooperation to test the performance of the missile."
"Okay, please tell me."
Huo Sheng didn't cooperate once or twice. He was already familiar with this kind of thing.
"That's it. When we come this time, we want to use two planes..."
Inside the command tower.
Yang Xiaotao saw Mr. Wang walking in with Father Ran and others, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"You guys did it very quickly. You took it out for a test flight on the 20th, tsk tsk."
Mr. Wang stepped forward to shake hands, and his words seemed to be filled with emotion, but there was no emotion on his face.
Yang Xiaotao met Ran's father, but they didn't say much. It was better to be more formal in this workplace.
"Isn't that to complete the mission?"
Yang Xiaotao came to the window. At this moment, the Baiju fighter jet below had appeared on the runway.
The two planes, one in front and one behind, were tens of meters apart.
"Chief, what kind of experiment do you want to do when you come here this time?"
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Of course I did it with real swords and guns. Those J-7s before couldn't test Bai Ju's true combat power. This time I have a qualified sparring partner, so of course I have to give it a try."
When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he immediately understood Mr. Wang's plan.
"Okay, let's try it this time."
While talking, the voice of the test pilot came from the tower.
"Baiju 2, agree to take off."
"Baijiao No. 2 received."
In an instant, the Baiju No. 2 in front immediately began to glide, then took off, and then rose up from the ground.
Everything is the same as the previous test flight.
Only Chen Gong Guodong was excited when he saw it for the first time.
Soon, Baiju 2 began to test speed, ceiling, flexibility, etc.
Half an hour later, all experiments on Baiju No. 2 were completed, and then they entered the last one.
In the command tower, Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the window with a serious expression.
All previous experiments on Unit 2 were just like Unit 1, with speeds exceeding Mach 3 and reaching a maximum of 3.5.
The upper limit also exceeds 25,000, and there are no problems with the various data.
But what he had to do next forced him to get serious.
This is a battle between missiles and aircraft.
"Chief, are you sure there is no problem?"
Mr. Wang was standing next to him, his fingers crossed together, looking very nervous.
"No problem, the missile does not have a warhead, it is just sand of the same weight."
Mr. Wang explained, but Yang Xiaotao didn't believe it, "I mean, this missile won't be damaged."
"It's...hard to say!"
Mr. Wang didn't know how to answer this question. If it really happened, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Let's take a look first."
As Mr. Wang said, he picked up the telescope and looked at it, feeling sweaty in his heart.
Likewise, everyone in the entire control tower was sweating.
They had never encountered this kind of situation before, that is, the head of the Seventh Machinery Department dared to act like this.
"Don't hit, don't hit."
Chen Gong on the side was muttering in a low voice, looking very worried.
Yang Xiaotao was also a little nervous. If he was caught up by a missile, he would lose his standing.
This is their hard work.
But then I thought, if this missile can't even catch up with the white horse, how can it catch up with the black bird?
For a moment, Yang Xiaotao was a little conflicted. He didn't know whether he should let the missile catch up? Or should he not catch up?
At this moment, in the air, Baiju No. 1 appeared three thousand meters behind No. 2.
This distance is now the distance at which most pilots launch missiles when facing the Little Blackbird.
If the two sides are launched at this distance, it will be a good time to see whether the Thunderbolt III can perform better.
At this moment, Huo Sheng, who was piloting Plane No. 1, was in contact with Captain Ge via communication.
"Captain Ge, we are ready, what about you?"
"Team Huo, we are ready and can start at any time."
"OK."
After Huo Sheng learned about it, he immediately turned on the communicator and said, "Tower, this is Baiju No. 1, requesting a test launch."
"Baiju No. 1, agree to test launch."
"clear!"
After the words fell, Huo Sheng moved his fingers, and then began to control the aircraft. The next second, the radar in front of the nose of the aircraft was turned on, accurately capturing the No. 2 aircraft in front.
At this moment, the No. 2 aircraft in front received a reminder that the aircraft was locked by the enemy's radar. Team Ge subconsciously began to evade. Then Baiju No. 2 quickly rushed forward to distance itself, then climbed and then turned, all movements smooth and smooth.
In comparison, the missile behind him seemed clumsy.
Each time it is re-locked on the target, it will take some time, and this time gives No. 2 a chance to escape.
Captain Ge smiled subconsciously, "Xiao Xie, this plane is great!"
"Haha, Captain Ge, we are also the best."
"Yes, we are all the best."
In the command podium, everyone could see clearly that No. 1 in the rear launched a missile and No. 2 in the front immediately responded. After turning diagonally upward, it accelerated again.
The missile behind him was not slow, but unfortunately it was still dodged by Plane No. 2 with its speed and flexibility.
"good!"
At the airport, a group of ground staff saw that Plane No. 2 was easily dodged, and they all shouted and cheered.
They don't care about anything else. They are fans of airplanes, as long as the airplane is good.
As for what to do if the missile cannot catch up, that is a matter for those who study missiles.
At this time, Yang Xiaotao also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the wonderful driving of the No. 2 machine and its beautiful avoidance of missiles.
On the contrary, Mr. Wang on the side slowly opened his mouth.
