Most areas of the aircraft cemetery are desolate and silent.
Only a small area at the entrance is a place with some popularity and vitality.
There is a neat row of houses distributed along the road.
Before the base was abandoned and turned into an aircraft cemetery, these houses were the residences of senior base personnel.
After the base was abandoned, these residences were not enclosed like the main building of the base, but were divided among the staff.
As Wang Yu approached, he could see some figures wearing slightly faded military uniforms on the road.
Most of these figures have entered middle age, their hair has begun to be more or less mixed with silver threads, their skin also has many wrinkles that represent time, and their eyes that should have been clear are also a little cloudy.
But their bodies are still strong, their postures are still upright, and their voices are still loud.
When they saw Wang Yu and Aileen, they all greeted them warmly.
"Boy, did you finally make that thing fly?"
Wang Yu answered with a bit of a smile.
"Yes, the result was very good. I flew over the mountains in the south and took a spin."
"Being able to reassemble an abandoned MiG fighter jet into something that can fly into the sky, your perseverance and learning ability make us former Air Force ground staff feel very ashamed." One of the old men with eyes said to him.
Wang Yu raised his finger, "As expected, you come from a family of pilots. You were born to soar in the blue sky."
"Stop making fun of me." Wang Yu shook his head, "I didn't get to serve in the Imperial Air Force."
These middle-aged and elderly people are the few staff members in this aircraft cemetery.
Most of them are ground staff, technicians, soldiers or officers who have retired from the Air Force.
They have devoted the best part of their lives to the army, so the imperial military will naturally not let them fend for themselves after retirement, but will properly arrange for them who are at a loss after retirement.
Those who retire at a young age will be assigned to work outside the military, while those who retire at an old age will be assigned a house and receive pensions as usual.
And those who are neither older nor younger - that is, those who have passed middle age but are still able to work, will be assigned some relatively idle positions in the army, so that they can live a relaxed and happy life comfortably.
Managing this aircraft cemetery is part of it.
This job has no technical content, it is easy and simple, and there is nothing wrong with it except that the place is a little remote.
The jobs of these retired veterans are divided into several types.
For example, registering new fighter jets as they arrive.
For example, drive around the airplane cemetery every day to see if the guardrails are in good condition.
For example, sit in an air-conditioned room and watch the monitor to see if there are any special situations.
That's probably it.
Anyway, this is a typical fishing job,
But Wang Yu's identity is different, he is the leader of these people.
To be precise, he is the manager of this aircraft cemetery.
This large area of the aircraft cemetery, the aircraft stored in it, and the people who serve as staff are all under his direct jurisdiction. He is responsible for the logistics department of the Imperial Air Force. Normally, the Imperial Air Force needs to stuff retired aircraft into it or want to
If you want to come up with something from inside, you will communicate with him.
And his duty is to protect the empire's property in this aircraft graveyard.
In fact, this duty is meaningless at all. This aircraft cemetery is far away from the city - or in more literary terms, it is far away from the breath of life and is not open to the outside world. There are only two small towns with a population of less than 500 within a dozen kilometers around it.
There is only one road to this airplane cemetery, and otherwise it is a wilderness exposed to the scorching sun.
Many people in the empire don't know that there is an aircraft cemetery in the middle of this vast wilderness.
So no one will visit this place at all.
As for stealing airplanes...well, you have to be able to steal even if you want to.
The entire perimeter of the aircraft cemetery is surrounded by surveillance. Six or seven retired Air Force veterans do nothing but stare at the surveillance cameras every day. Not to mention getting parts from these mothballed fighter planes, even if they can get close to the fence, they are lucky.
OK.
Therefore, Wang Yu is usually very free, so he has a lot of time to learn all kinds of things he wants to learn.
As for why he was able to become the manager of this aircraft cemetery, it’s a long story.
As the veteran said - a family of pilots.
Yes, Wang Yu was born in a typical pilot family.
His grandfather served in the Imperial Air Force and was promoted to at least general and then to lieutenant general when he retired.
His father also followed the path of a pilot. He learned to fly from a young age and became an ace pilot of the Imperial Air Force at a very young age. He made important contributions in the empire's territorial expansion stage more than ten years ago.
This is especially true for Wang Yu. Due to his personal character, he showed his yearning for the blue sky at a very young age.
But when Wang Yu was five years old, his father was trapped in an imperial overseas military operation in order to rescue his teammates. After running out of ammunition and food, he parachuted to escape. However, the empire's aid did not arrive in time.
Under the siege of the enemy, he was eventually outnumbered and sacrificed.
After Wang Yu's grandfather learned about this incident, his already poor physical condition worsened.
He began to blame himself and began to doubt himself.
Was it because of my support for him that he died on the battlefield when he was less than forty years old?
After this incident, he paid more attention to his grandson, who was obviously much smarter and more knowledgeable than ordinary people.
Although the old man knew that Wang Yu yearned for the blue sky and longed to fly, he did not want Wang Yu to join the Imperial Air Force.
Even when Wang Yu was about to go through the procedures and submit the application form, he specially found a connection to intercept the application form.
This old man thinks that if you like flying, you can apply to be a civil aviation pilot, or you can get a private jet license. Then you can still fly however you want. As a grandfather, I will fully support it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He does not want his grandson to follow the same path as his son.
However, the blue sky that Wang Yu hopes to experience is not simple.
He hopes that in the process of soaring into the blue sky, he will be accompanied by the abundant power of a fighter jet, the attitude of rushing into the sky like pulling onions on dry land, and the state he enters after breaking the sound barrier.
The grandfather and grandson couldn't argue, and finally the old man compromised.
It happened that the large base in the south was being demobilized at that time, and the Imperial Air Force was preparing to transform it into an aircraft cemetery.
So he used his connections in the military to place Wang Yu here - he told Wang Yu that he just wanted Wang Yu to stay away from the army, but he didn't want to stop Wang Yu from pursuing his dream of pursuing the blue sky at supersonic speed.
Because he also hopes that Wang Yu can see with his own eyes the deep blue above the stratosphere.
Therefore, if Wang Yu definitely wants to fly a fighter plane, then he should work hard on his own and build one by himself using the old sealed aircraft body.
And he will also greet the relevant personnel and ask them to turn a blind eye to Wang Yu's behavior.
In order to show his sincerity, he also used his authority to secretly intercept a Zhan Ji's "spiritual core" from the empire's confidential inventory, allowing Wang Yu to activate her for the first time, and asked her to help Wang Yu
.
With the help of the machine girl, it will not be difficult for Wang Yu to assemble a fighter plane of his own.
It can be said that he has done a lot for Wang Yu, his beloved grandson.
But he was not able to see the moment when Wang Yu actually flew the fighter plane into the blue sky.
When Wang Yu was an adult, he died of cancer.
In order to take care of Wang Yu, the "Queen of the Generals", the imperial military took the initiative to promote Wang Yu to become the administrator of this aircraft cemetery after asking for his opinions. He received a high salary and treated Wang Yu from the aircraft cemetery.
They can "pretend not to see" the use of old airframes to assemble fighter jets.
The military recognized this as an iron rice bowl. If Wang Yu had no other pursuits, he could work in this position until retirement.
At first, Wang Yu lived in a nearby town, but later he simply moved to this aircraft cemetery and mixed with other staff.
Most of these retired veterans came here with their families, and they also regarded Wang Yu, who was a generation younger than them, as their descendants. Everyone lived in this aircraft cemetery, like a big isolated family. Therefore, even if Wang Yu is a manager, everyone does not talk to each other, and it is impossible to have any airs.
What's more, they all helped Wang Yu more or less a lot during the process of assembling the fighter plane.
Wang Yu's MiG-21 can fly into the sky, and they can be considered part of the credit.
