But soon He Zhimin also became "suspicious" about the data.
This is not to say that the data is wrong, but that the data is so correct that He Zhimin cannot believe it is true.
According to He Zhimin's estimation and calculation, this test flight and data optimization must be a long-term process, because as long as there is a slight deviation in the entire set of data, including errors in the instruments that record the data, then this set of data will need to undergo countless test flights and corrections.
, Then try it again and make corrections until it finally becomes perfect.
However, the prototype aircraft has to face a huge amount of data that needs to be corrected. There are countless test flights and corrections on the massive level of data... This is not something that can be achieved in the short term.
However, after Zhimin and Professor Su used the data for the second test flight prototype, they found that many of the data could be used directly without correction.
The test flight plan drawn up by Professor Su and He Zhimin is as follows:
Zhou Yuankai piloted the No. 1 prototype to obtain data.
Prototype No. 1 had its gyro autopilot device removed, and it was completely manually driven by the pilot. It only added a recording instrument to record the pilot's operations throughout the process.
The No. 2 prototype driven by Li Dongcheng was used to verify and correct the data.
The No. 2 prototype does not have the autopilot device removed, but it can also be driven manually by the pilot... The pilot has a higher priority than the autopilot, so when necessary, the pilot can take over the prototype to avoid a crash caused by immature autopilot.
aircraft accident.
From this perspective, the experiment of Unit 2 conducted by Li Dongcheng was more difficult and dangerous, because he still needed to judge whether the automatic driving was correct and whether human intervention was needed.
He Zhimin originally thought so, especially in the initial stages of test flight.
The reason is simple. There is almost no "accurate" data for the autonomous driving device in the initial stage, and it needs at least hundreds or thousands of test flights to achieve initial results.
Every time when faced with the control of a prototype, Li Dongcheng first needs to let the automatic driving device work. After the automatic driving device makes an error or fails to respond appropriately, he will intervene and correct it.
This shortened Li Dongcheng's reaction time, and also tested Li Dongcheng's adaptability... because he did not know and was not sure whether the autonomous driving device would make any "overreaction."
Wang Xuexin originally arranged for Zhou Yuankai, who had more experience in piloting, to fly the more difficult No. 2 aircraft. However, Zhou Yuankai thought that this test flight was a narrow escape, so he used his eldest brother's identity to order Li Dongcheng to fly the No. 2 aircraft and let him "test the skills" first.
There is nothing wrong with Zhou Yuankai thinking this way, because even if he is glorious in piloting Unit 1, he can also leave some experience to Li Dongcheng, or the developer can make some improvements, then the probability of Li Dongcheng being glorious is small.
Who would have thought that a more dangerous and difficult task would be handed over to Li Dongcheng.
Zhou Yuankai once wanted Li Dongcheng to change the task back, but this time Li Dongcheng was not happy.
"Brother Kai!" Li Dongcheng said, "You can't let all the good things happen to yourself! The No. 1 machine over there has taken the lead, and here they are trying to steal my No. 2 machine... Doesn't this make sense?"
Zhou Yuankai also argued: "That's different. If we change it now, we won't change it in the future!"
After arguing back and forth, Li Dongcheng simply said: "Brother Kai, this matter is not decided by us. Look at how injured you are..."
As he spoke, Li Dongcheng raised his head towards Zhou Yuankai's red bandage, and then said: "Even if I am willing to trade with you, can the superior agree?"
Zhou Yuankai felt that this was right, so he stopped talking.
Even Li Dongcheng found this funny. When he and Zhou Yuankai went on a mission with the Japanese, they had never seen Zhou Yuankai "showing off" like this.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was hiding behind to protect himself.
But now, when I'm on a mission with the Eighth Route Army, I rush to get into dangerous missions, and I don't know why I'm crazy.
In fact, Li Dongcheng knew the reason, because he himself had such a change.
The reason is very simple. To the Japs, it is usually "helping the tiger", and competing for dangerous tasks is called "being stupid". Even if it is glorious, it will leave a lifetime of infamy. Who is willing to do this?
But now we are trying to win glory for our country and avenge the Japanese, so how can we not fight bravely to be the first?
Li Dongcheng's flying skills were actually not much worse than Zhou Yuankai's. After all, he was also selected to fly transport planes to transport "important people" to the puppet troops. He couldn't do this job without any skills.
Therefore, the test flight on the second day went smoothly, and within ten minutes, the prototype landed safely at the original airport.
This time, Li Dongcheng's head was not smashed by the radio station because He Zhimin had already reinforced the radio station.
Li Dongcheng doesn't think it matters. He has no idea about data or anything.
He only knows that during flight, if the autopilot is right, he does not need to operate.
If the automatic driving is wrong, he will make corrections and report it in a timely manner.
What Li Dongcheng didn't know was that He Zhimin and Professor Su, who were commanding on the ground, were already so shocked that they looked at each other and didn't know how to evaluate it.
After a long while, Professor Su asked: "How many accurate actions has the autonomous driving performed?"
He Zhimin counted it and replied: "It was carried out thirteen times in total, and several of them were repetitions of the same set of actions. Excluding the repetitions, there were seven times."
"Seven times!" Professor Su asked again: "How many sets of reaction actions have we input to the autonomous driving in total?"
"A total of seventy-eight sets!" He Zhimin replied in disbelief: "One test flight is almost one-tenth complete, and it's done in one step... Isn't this luck a bit too good?"
"Luck?" Professor Su shook his head.
He didn't believe it was luck.
In the eyes of others, this may be normal, and they may even think that it is the ability and contribution of Professor Su and He Zhimin.
But Professor Su knew that such a small probability event would appear on the prototype fuselage with a high probability. This was unfair.
However, what is it if not luck?
Thinking about it, Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin, who was not far away once again with guards to "protect" the prototype and was busy sealing the original data.
I thought to myself, could this guy be up to something?
But what the hell could be done?
Does this guy know accurate data?
No, impossible!
Professor Su shook his head. What are you thinking about? He is so confused.
Is it like Lao He said, thinking the worst about this guy?
But all in all this is a good thing.
At the current speed, I'm afraid it will only take ten days and a half for the test flight to be completed successfully.
