Just as Chengdu Aircraft's engineering team began to think about how to draw design inspiration from the 'hijacked' F-22, Shaanxi Aircraft's engineering team also organized personnel to rush to Mongolia's Gobi Altai Province overnight, until they were tightly guarded.
abandoned airport.
The runway of the airport has been cleared by engineers. Not long after Zhou Qingfeng left in the Raptor, fifteen large passenger planes also took off quickly after adding a small amount of fuel. Their confidentiality level was not high, and their destinations were several places in Xinjiang.
Civil airport.
The last thing to deal with is the five C-5 Galaxy. In terms of size, the size of C-5 is about the same as that of the Boeing 747 series. But in terms of purpose, C-5 is a strategic transport for the air force of a major country.
pillar.
This large transport aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of nearly 400 tons has always been the trump card of the United States in overseas operations, and it is even more coveted heavy equipment for the Rabbit Air Force. When the people from Shaanxi Air Force arrived at the airport, they cheered and shouted
Then ran towards C-5.
"Our fighter jets are rapidly catching up with the Americans in terms of quality and quantity, but there has been little improvement in transport aircraft and other air crew aircraft."
The chief engineer of Shaanxi Aircraft walked into the C-5 warehouse and was filled with emotion. "Imagine that the Americans had such big guys fifty or sixty years ago, the gap is really huge!"
But after seeing the cabin, everyone was very silent, and there was always a thorn in their hearts - although this C-5 is good, it is not produced by ourselves. It is difficult to use such aircraft without accessories.
Under the circumstances, even maintenance cannot be done.
The most important thing is that it is easy to design an aircraft. What China lacks most is high-performance engines. Why is the F-22 so powerful? Half of the credit must be attributed to its two F-119 engines.
"How should these five big planes be transported back like this?" the chief commander of Shaanxi Aircraft asked the commander-in-chief on the scene.
"Someone will come to fly." As the commander-in-chief, the senior military officer was very careful about his words and refused to say a word more. "Your task is to learn more about it, because it is said that the pilot may leave at any time."
Ah..., there are still people in China who can drive a C-5? People from Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation, look at me and I look at you. Everyone actually has hundreds of questions in their minds. But everyone knows that this matter must be extremely confidential. Can it be done?
Just don't ask.
Not long after, a young man wearing a black mask appeared surrounded by a team of special soldiers. He clambered into the cockpit of a C-5 and saw a dozen nerdy-looking people squatting inside.
Look east and west.
"Everyone, please give way. If you have nothing to do, get off first. I'm going to take off this transport plane soon." Zhou Qingfeng spoke in Northeastern dialect, which shocked the engineering staff of Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation.
People in Shaanxi Aircraft thought that the country secretly brought the plane from abroad, so the pilot might be a Westerner. Who knew that the man in front of him looked Chinese.
"Hello, I am the chief engineer of Shaanxi Fei, my surname is Tang." A middle-aged man extended his hand, "Can I fly back with you?"
Zhou Qingfeng immediately shook his head, "I didn't learn how to fly a transport plane, and I don't have much experience in flying this thing. I don't dare to take you with me."
Commander Tang nodded and did not force it. However, the transport aircraft had not yet completed the refueling task. Taking advantage of some time, he still asked enthusiastically: "Can you tell us about this aircraft? For example, the driving aspect."
For Shaanxi Aircraft, designing and manufacturing large transport aircraft is an inevitable task that they must complete. Now that there is a C-5 pilot in front of me, it is natural to ask more questions.
But a fool like Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head when he was asked. He said distressedly: "I really don't know much about C-5. I can only make random guesses. But I got some relevant information when I came here. Maybe you can use it."
.”
"There is information, good, good, good." Chief Tang said yes, but he was actually a little disappointed. The reason is very simple. A large transport aircraft involves all aspects, which cannot be described in three to five hundred pages, or even three to fifty thousand pages.
. It is no exaggeration to say that a lot of work has been done.
Seeing the pilot wearing a black mask running to move documents, Chief Tang also went to help. He saw an aluminum alloy safe in the cabin. The cabinet was firmly fixed on the floor of the cabin, and there were signs on it.
password.
Seeing the size of the cabinet, Commander Tang was even more disappointed. He thought that inside the cabinet might be the C-5 ground maintenance manual. This thing was very useful, but not very useful.
"Comrade, it's really hard for you, thank you very much!" Commander Tang still has to say a few words of praise. We can't let the soldiers fighting on the secret front feel cold, right? Secrets are not that easy to keep. It's good to have something rare.
Not bad.
You can’t ask for too much!
Hehehe...!
After a few snorts, Chief Tang couldn't stop snoring. He looked over Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and saw that when the alloy cabinet was opened, it was not the paper files he imagined, but a computer and a disk array.
.
Ouch..., good stuff!
Chief Tang was a little excited. He thought to himself: This computer can store a lot of things, especially with a large-capacity disk array. The information in it is worth looking forward to.
There must be more than just design sketches or parts diagrams in this computer. For such a complex large transport aircraft, it is useless to just rely on a few drawings. If you have drawings, you can have a product. This is the idea of liberal arts students.
Chief Tang waited for the computer to turn on and asked anxiously: "Isn't this something easy to come by?"
"Yeah, it's not easy!" Zhou Qingfeng said in his heart that this thing would have been eliminated in the wasteland more than ten years later. In order not to expose too high-tech equipment, I spent a lot of effort to find such an antique.
tattered.
After the computer was turned on, its operating system was unusual. Zhou Qingfeng had to go through multiple security inputs before he could use the data inside. All the data in the computer was managed uniformly by a military-grade database, and the classification was very detailed.
This thing is so high-end!
When he saw the NSA warning sign appearing on the database, Chief Tang's heart began to beat wildly.
This kind of professional database often means professional data, which is definitely not a drawing or two. It is a huge system engineering project stored in this computer.
Oops, this makes people unable to sit still.
Top secret!
Commander Tang immediately shouted to his companions, "Go and call the commander-in-chief and send us a few more soldiers to stand guard. Lockheed Martin's national defense-level database has appeared. This thing is rare. We are going to be prosperous!"
"
The people from Shaanxi Aircraft hurriedly ran out of the cabin. After a while, a large group of armed soldiers ran over. The mission commander at the head asked: "What happened?"
At this time, Zhou Qingfeng casually opened a video in the computer's database. In it, an old white man was talking to the camera in a laboratory environment, speaking incomprehensible words.
The people in Shaanfei listened with rapt attention, but Zhou Qingfeng shrugged and said: "I don't know much about material science. Half of the words this guy said are confusing. Do you understand?"
"This is a laboratory record." Commander Tang whispered, and then shouted loudly: "Boy, where did you get this thing? This is Lockheed Martin's experimental record on high-temperature engine blades.
This is much more useful than some bullshit drawing!
These laboratory records are the result of decades of continuous investment in funds and personnel from the United States. They can help us save more than ten or twenty years of research and development time. This is what we lack now, and it can help us quickly
Develop advanced engines!”
The commander-in-chief of the military who rushed over was also a man who knew the goods. After listening for a long time with his eyes wide open, he murmured: "The things in the computer are more valuable than these five C-5 Galaxys. We really made a lot of money!"
