Rather, it is a series of logistics systems involved in the three fighters of the Polaris Squadron.
Those that cannot be taken away by fighter jets will be taken care of by transport planes taking off from the Gensokyo base.
These transport planes are fully loaded with basic supplies, all possible tools, relevant ground staff and everyone's carry-on luggage.
Of course, this batch of transport aircraft and the Polaris Squadron are not all of the ones heading south to the Dome Base. In a few days, fighters from the Gensokyo Base will escort the remaining transport aircraft to the transfer site one after another.
In short, in the early morning, Polaris Squadron and several transport aircraft embarked on the flight south.
Compared with fighter jets, transport aircraft carrying supplies have the characteristics of a comfortable flying environment, stable cruising altitude and speed, and high range.
Therefore, although everyone took off at the same time, the speeds on both sides were different, so the transport plane would not stop at several bases on the road like Wang Yu and others, but would fly all the way to the dome base.
The escort mission of the transport aircraft will also be undertaken by the Imperial fighter formations along the way.
Less than half an hour after takeoff, Polaris Squadron had already distanced itself from the transport aircraft formation.
However, although this flight is long, it is not boring. Except for the takeoff and landing at the transfer base, the route for the rest of the process is fixed. Once the autopilot is turned on, everyone at Polaris can easily spend this time chatting.
A long flight.
The onboard computer will ensure that the fighter jet accurately flies on the predetermined route.
For the members of Polaris, there is never a shortage of topics to chat with, so it didn’t take long for the team channel to be filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Speaking of which, why are we allowed to fly the fighter plane directly this time?" Liu Lingxin asked curiously: "For long-distance transitions like this, shouldn't the usual situation be to dismantle the fighter plane and then put it back together at the destination?
"
"Presumably the superiors don't want to waste time." Wang Yu replied: "It takes a lot of man-hours to disassemble and reassemble the fighter planes, and the transportation process will also be delayed for a long time. The superiors probably want us to be able to do it directly when we get there.
In order to exert our combat effectiveness, we have to arrange for us to fly our fighter planes over there."
"As the dome base and Stonehenge are nearing completion, and facing external threats, the people above are naturally more anxious." Luo Yu replied with a smile: "Fortunately, we were not asked to fly thousands of kilometers directly, and there was luck in the middle.
The rest period between the two landings will not make us too tired."
In fact, it’s okay to fly direct, after all, it’s on autopilot most of the time.
However, it is a taboo for pilots to stay at high altitude for a long time without being able to rest, and the Empire's time is not so tight.
After a long flight, they arrived at their first docking base in the middle of the empire.
After landing cleanly, he opened the canopy, left the fighter plane to rest for twenty minutes amidst the noisy engine sound, and watched the ground personnel refill the fighter plane's fuel tank.
At this time, the fighter plane does not even need to be shut down, and the engine can be kept running. Anyway, the empire does not lack this oil.
After resting, the three fighter planes entered the runway again, accelerated into the air and left.
They continued flying south.
Some time later, Polaris Squadron approached the southern part of the empire and passed over an aircraft cemetery that was very familiar to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu recalled the past of living in this aircraft cemetery. He recalled the process of carrying a tool box every day to find usable parts among scrapped fighter planes. He recalled that the fighter plane took a lot of effort to put together, but at this time
The MiG-21 fighter plane that had been buried at the bottom of the sea recalled his first air combat experience flying that fighter plane.
Looking down, the appearance of this airplane cemetery doesn't seem to have changed much.
The desolate Gobi Desert still looks as bare as before; the huge aircraft parking area still houses countless types of fighter jets that are either mothballed or scrapped; and those retired and mothballed fighter jets still haven’t changed much, in the wind and sand.
Slowly decaying, waiting for the day when it will be dismantled into scrap metal and recycled.
Wang Yu left here and soared into the sky, flying all over the country.
But those who have not left here may really be bound to this area of tens of kilometers forever.
"Finally...back here again."
Although he was just passing by, Wang Yu still said in a rather nostalgic tone: "Although a long time has passed, everything that happened before is still vivid in my mind. Are you right, Irene?"
Eileen immediately replied: "Of course, the days when I depended on each other with my dear are the most profound times in my memory."
"We depend on each other for our lives..." Liu Lingxin muttered: "He was also a manager at that time, so there was no need to speak so seriously..."
"No matter what I say, when it comes to discussing the deep connection between you and my dear, you have to step aside." Irene said with a smile: "If it weren't for my status as a machine girl, you think some things would still be possible.
Are you the first?"
Liu Lingxin was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted angrily: "Who wants to tell you this!"
Wang Yu knocked on his flight helmet and ended the topic with some embarrassment: "Don't talk so much about these things..."
God knows how hard it must have been for him, as a passionate young man, to live with Eileen, a charming beauty, all day long, and to rely on his willpower to endure without taking a step forward.
His ability to calm down as a pilot is most likely related to his past experiences.
However, the sky above the aircraft cemetery was considered Eileen's home field, so she was quite excited. She sang along with Wang Yu, like two chatty people, and kept telling other members of the Polaris Squadron about her original experience.
"Don't look at how well he flies the plane now." Irene told Wang Yu's "painful" experience during the test flight: "In fact, during the test flight back then, the plane flew like a drift, swaying left and right.
, I am a plane girl and I feel scared. Especially once, the plane leaked oil and smoke. Fortunately, I made the emergency landing in time..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, you connected the pipeline wrong that time, okay?" Wang Yu glared at Irene's villain: "I got an alarm not long after takeoff.
"
"But that matter was not serious at first, but my dear made a mysterious operation after hearing the alarm, which made it serious." Irene shook her head and sighed: "Then there were all kinds of malfunctions, all kinds of black smoke, and finally..."
"Don't make it sound like I crashed!"
Wang Yu and Aileen are like having a cross talk in the channel.
Others had never heard Wang Yu talk about this experience of his. To them, this was indeed a novel story, so everyone listened with interest and did not disturb him.
The aircraft graveyard was quickly left behind.
Wang Yu looked back at the aircraft cemetery that had disappeared into the horizon - the last time he flew south from here, he was flying an early second-generation aircraft with extremely poor combat effectiveness, but now, he has flown on
It is one of the most advanced fighter planes in the entire empire or in the world.
Therefore, one's experience is unpredictable. When Wang Yu happily flew into the blue sky in his second-generation aircraft, he never thought about how he, a administrator of the flying aircraft cemetery, suddenly became the top of the empire.
One of the ace pilots.
It can only be said that his current achievements are indeed the result of his own efforts and various coincidences - or in other words, the opportunities he seized.
To put it simply, one's own efforts are important, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration.
After leaving the aircraft cemetery, Polaris Squadron continued flying for a while and passed by a small civilian airport on the seaside.
"Ah, Yongquan Airport."
Wang Yu pulled out the name of this small airport from the corner of his memory: "I got a tank of gas from him back then. They confiscated my money at first, but I heard that the Imperial Air Force later sent someone to take it away.
The money for the gas has been repaid.”
"You really have a lot of life experience..."
Murong Lan complained.
"Yes, I have always grown up in the Gensokyo base." Luo Yu also sighed: "So such a rich experience as you mentioned is basically unimaginable to me."
"Everyone has his or her own experience. I also envy you that you grew up in Gensokyo base. You were able to be exposed to advanced fighter aircraft at the earliest, and you can fly freely." Wang Yu sighed: "When you don't understand the difficulties of others, everyone
I feel that others are living a better life than myself.”
This Yongquan Airport has gradually become prosperous as air thieves from the southern part of the empire were swept into the vertical trash cans - the nearby sea view is really good, attracting many tourists.
So looking at it at this time, Yongquan Airport is in the midst of a hot expansion project. A brand new large runway is being built next to the original short runway. The original small shabby houses at Yongquan Airport have also been built at this time.
It was replaced by a bright terminal building, and the expanded apron was filled with all kinds of aircraft, both private and public.
In addition to Yongquan Airport, various houses have appeared in the surrounding areas, which have already formed the scale of a small town. The surrounding wasteland has also been developed into farmland with waves of golden wheat. From the air, it looks quite neat, with some
A feeling of vitality.
Many areas in the southern part of the empire have indeed undergone tremendous changes with the smooth implementation of the empire's southern strategy.
As someone who had made great efforts in the empire's southern strategy, Wang Yu felt that he was honored.
"Do you want to land temporarily and take a look?" Luo Yu asked: "We have enough time and the route is very loose, so although it is unreasonable to land, it is not a violation of the regulations."
"Let's forget it. It's not appropriate for three fighter planes to disturb other people's civilian airports." Wang Yu shook his head: "When we finish our business this time, let's take a look around here."
Luo Yu didn't say much.
The three fighter planes continued to move forward and landed on an island military base far away from the land to rest again.
At this military base, they met other imperial pilots.
In addition to Gensokyo Base, these are the elites sent to the dome base from other Imperial Air Force bases. Although they are not comparable to the guys in Gensokyo, they are still famous aces or quasi-aces for a long time.
Outside Gensokyo, the Empire dropped the Dinghai Needle to protect the dome base and Stonehenge.
There are a total of six fighter planes here at this time.
Four of the Su-57s are from the Air Force, coming from two different air bases; the two F-18s are from the Navy, both coming from a naval air station in the southern part of the empire.
Wang Yu discovered that in the matter of Stonehenge, it seemed that there were no longer two chains of command between the naval aviation and the air force. Instead, as long as they could fly, they were all under the unified command of the dome base.
There is a hollow five-pointed star under the cockpit canopy of these six fighter planes. One corner of the hollow five-pointed star on two of them has been filled in, which means that the pilots of these six fighter planes are outstanding and have achieved the title of ace.
pilot.
Very powerful ah.
Wang Yu looked back at his fighter plane parked on the tarmac. There was no conspicuous battle-result painting under the cockpit cover.
The same goes for Luo Yu's fighter plane.
Speaking of which, thanks to the empire's southern strategy and the Aurelia War, they have achieved countless victories. If they were all marked in the form of five-pointed stars, there would be a dense row of five-pointed stars drawn under the hatch cover, which would look very...
It was unsightly, so Wang Yu and the others discussed with the ground crew and used custom painting to express the results they had achieved - Wang Yu's current fighter plane is painted in all black, but on the "edges" under the cockpit
, with a rather nice-looking red line that looks like it outlines the edge of a fighter plane.
The red lines are not continuous. If you look carefully, there are thin straight black stripes between the lines, and each black stripe represents the results of ten air-to-air shootdowns...
As for the ground-attack results, there is no need to draw the main air fighter, but Wang Yu clearly knows that his ground-attack results are no less than those of those who fly full-time ground attack aircraft.
Luo Yu and the others also adopted the same counting method, which saves the ground crew from having to re-paint the victory medals every time they return from a sortie.
However, this counting method may only be used by Polaris Squadron.
The aces didn't know the situation at the first time, and they were wondering why the pilots who had no results were able to go to the dome - their superiors had told them that only the most elite could accept this mission, and let them be proud of their own strength.
They had been wondering for a while, but when a "bad guy" told them with good intentions the meaning of the Polaris Squadron fighter planes' paint, they were all dumbfounded.
What the heck, the emotional record we are so proud of is not even a fraction of yours?
In short, Wang Yu and others stayed at this base for two hours, took a nap, and then continued their journey.
This time it’s not just the Polaris Squadron, the six fighter planes will also set off together.
After checking their military ranks, the pilots of these six fighters were temporarily under the unified management of the Polaris Squadron, which meant that they needed to follow the Polaris formation to the dome base.
