This aircraft has a top speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, which is several times slower than current fighter jets. Several times faster than a helicopter. Although everyone knows that this kind of engine is not as high-tech as a jet engine, and it can even be said that the structure is extremely simple. But it fits the current needs of Hope Island very well. Its performance is enough to meet the current needs of Hope Island, and it also meets the fuel level, so everyone is optimistic about this engine.
This test is not only to test the overall function of the aircraft, but also the final test of this engine. Therefore, Hope Island, whether it is the Super Science Academy, the Science and Technology City, or the senior leadership, attaches great importance to this time, and all relevant personnel are here.
As the engine started, the aircraft slowly lifted into the air, the engine began to rotate, and the aircraft began to glide forward. It circled the base outside the island and landed again.
Immediately, a staff member came over and downloaded the data on Gong Yun's helmet.
how do you feel? Qin Yao asked.
Feel nothing. Gong Yun responded easily. It's not like he had never stood outside an airplane. How could it feel like this flying speed was not even as fast as the helicopter that fought against the flying eagle mutant beast? You must know that helicopters at that time were still doing various difficult maneuvers.
OK, everything is normal. Next step is to conduct autonomous operation test. Gong Yun, just follow the simulation operation and there will be no problem. If there is any loss of control, abandon the aircraft. Qin Yao reminded.
knew. Gong Yun responded by raising the control lever in front of him, and then opened the folding control panel. He had been practicing this on the simulator for so long that he was almost numb.
Okay, take off now. Qin Yao instructed.
There are no operation buttons on the operation panel, it is a display screen. The altitude, speed, fuel quantity, mechanical operating status and other data displayed above. The entire operation is on the operating lever. Lift it up and it will ignite and take off, push it forward to accelerate, and push it backward to decelerate. To the left is to increase the power of the left engine, and to the right is to increase the power of the right engine to achieve the purpose of flipping the steering.
This operating system is where the most manpower and material resources were spent in the entire research process. Now that it has entered the practical stage, there is still a serious flaw that has not been resolved. That is whether the pilot can completely stabilize and control precise operations under the interference of various factors such as propulsion and wind resistance during flight.
For example, if the operator encounters unstable interference during flight and causes the body to shake, this may cause the operator's instinctive reaction to use the control stick as a point of stabilization. This behavior will lead to misoperation during flight, and you can imagine what will happen.
One thousand kilometers per hour is not too fast, but it definitely cannot be said to be slow. Think about it, if you suddenly operate a steering wheel or accelerate violently at this speed, it will definitely be catastrophic.
This problem cannot be completely solved yet. The only person who can not be affected at this speed is Gong Yun. Because his physical strength can basically offset external interference, the rest is his control of his own balance.
Theoretically, as long as he can overcome his fear of speed, there won't be much of a problem. Coupled with his lack of fear of falling, the possibility of successful operation is still very high.
According to Qin Yao's original plan, the defects of this operating lever were solved before it was put into practical use.
However, due to the pressing pressure of the four major bases and the fact that this defect cannot be solved in a short time, we have no choice but to put it into the application stage in advance.
At least we can give the four major bases an explanation. We are indeed conducting research in this area. As for the fact that this aircraft cannot fly to the Black Sea base, that is another question.
This is indeed not a problem for Gong Yun. He has tried it countless times on the simulator. After a week of free operation, it landed smoothly. A thousand kilometers per hour is not very fast for him. It was only twice as fast as him jumping and running on the ground.
They had done experiments in this regard. Qin Yao couldn't catch up with him in a sports car on the highway. And this is still in a state where he has not reached his limit.
In five years of hunting career, Gong Yun's physical fitness has not improved even a little bit, and it seems that he has encountered some bottleneck. But there have indeed been tremendous changes in speed and combat skills. His personality is also much more stable than before, as if he has changed into a different person.
This result was completely within everyone's expectations. Although it seems a bit useless that only Gong Yun can use it, it still solves a big problem after all. This step has been taken, and we can just improve it a little bit in the future.
The reason why I say it is useless is because if this aircraft cannot be used on a large scale, it cannot be equipped for special operations groups. If the special battle group cannot equip the equipment and only Gong Yun can use it, then the ratio of investment and value will be very low.
After all, the expansion plan has been completed. If the special operations group cannot be equipped, then the continental exploration plan cannot be launched. Let Gong Yun go alone? How is that possible? It is impossible to pass the resolution on Hope Island, and the Black Sea base is a lesson learned from the past.
If Gong Yun suddenly sacrifices, Hope Island's management over the years will be overturned in an instant, and the social system will also enter a state of collapse like the Black Sea Base.
When a person is completely mythized, his existence will become the support point of everyone's mentality. As gods ascend, the entire society will develop uncontrollably toward religion.
dangerous? No problem, don't worry, the God of War is here. Is there a beast tide? It doesn't matter, the God of War will take care of it. Is there internal turmoil? Don't worry, the God of War is here.
In this kind of mentality, if the God of War suddenly disappears, the impact will be absolutely huge. The collapse of the mentality cannot be solved by any external means.
Since the rise of Gong Yun, the changes in Hope Island can be said to be subversive. Everyone can experience this personally. Food is cheaper than before and consumables are more abundant than before. With more jobs available, you don’t have to worry about expenses because you can’t find a job. There are still many jobs outside the island waiting to be filled.
The internal political circles have also become stable. When a person's influence is large enough, all opposition will be overwhelmed by public opinion. No matter how creative you are, it is useless if no one supports you.
As far as the current situation is concerned, if Gong Yun agrees to inherit the position of island owner, not many people will object.
But Gong Yun didn't want to care or do this work. He was used to war, although this kind of war was already in the form of hunting.
The human control area is safe, but it is impossible to completely kill all the mutant beasts, and the human defense line cannot be as airtight as possible. However, it is certain that it will not have a major impact on the cities outside the island. The special forces will not allow super mutant beasts to come in.
Now that the single-person aircraft is put into use, Gong Yun's crisis handling maneuverability has been greatly improved, and safety is even more guaranteed.
