At that time, those who could fly the lowest-end aircraft with their abilities were already senior talents, and they were simply unable to operate the most advanced aircraft.
In addition, the main purpose of these abandoned people at that time was to find shelter, and such ultra-high-speed or ultra-large aircraft were simply not suitable. Most people cannot adapt to this kind of aircraft that travels hundreds of kilometers per second. Even if some of them can fly it at the time, they are not suitable for finding ground targets. In addition, this kind of aircraft has extremely high requirements for runways.
At that time, there were definitely not many runways of this level, and even if they were, they were in some extremely dangerous areas. So even if someone knew how to fly this kind of aircraft at the time, they would not be able to land at the selected location. In that environment, it was most appropriate to choose low-end aircraft with low performance, slow flying speed and low runway requirements.
I learned that the hardest part of flying a plane is not taking off, but landing. In other words, even if someone could take off in such a plane at that time, no one could land safely at such a fast speed. Let alone a situation where there is no runway. Gong Yun responded.
Yes, to get these technologies back, we must build a dedicated runway outside the island. I hope the total length of the island is not enough. Rong Ran explained.
This kind of aircraft can't take off even if there is a runway built across Hope Island? Zuo Saotou and the special operators on the plane were extremely surprised.
Of course, based on the maximum speed of 100 kilometers per second, its take-off speed must be at least 30 kilometers per second. It goes without saying how long a runway is required for an aircraft to move from a stationary state to 30 to 50 kilometers per second. Do you know? Rong Ran smiled.
No way? This airplane cemetery is only a dozen miles away. According to you, wouldn't it be impossible to take off or land here at all? Gong Yun asked.
In the early years, Brother Gong and Sister Chek Kok brought back some pictures and materials, and Sister Yaoer and I have studied them. These aircraft had an auxiliary system back then. It cannot take off without this auxiliary system. Using this auxiliary system, the length of the runway can be shortened by more than ten times.
It is a way to use this set of equipment to control it when it takes off and prevent it from taking off. Then the plane desperately increased its power. When the power reaches a certain level and you suddenly let it go, it will instantly reach a high initial speed, or even take off directly. The same is true when landing. As long as it passes through a special area during landing, it will encounter great resistance and force it to stop in a very short distance.
However, this requires very high manufacturing materials for the aircraft, otherwise it will fall apart during the process. We don't have this material now, so we can only rely on the length of the runway to accelerate and decelerate. We calculated that the runway for a fighter jet like this must be at least fifty kilometers in order to take off or land safely. Rong Ran explained.
Gong Yun touched his forehead. The cost of building such a long runway is not small. It also needs to analyze and manufacture the aircraft. How many materials are needed to complete this? There is also an ultra-high speed of one hundred kilometers per second, which is definitely not something ordinary people can react to. Who can drive this thing after it is built?
He was gone hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye. In other words, even if there was something in front of him, the driver would have hit it before he even saw it. What use would it be?
Of course, if you say that, even if we get it back, it won't be of much use, right? This is too fast.
Hee hee, this is what we calculated based on its structure, so it may not be accurate. Besides, the top speed of a sports car is 250 kilometers per hour. We have never driven that fast, right? Rong Ran smiled.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Gong Yun's temples. If he didn't drive so fast, even if he was shrinking ten times, it wouldn't be slow at ten kilometers per second! Can this thing be played? If you invest so much to get it back, it won't work at all, and Hope Island will be in chaos.
Of course, you guys have made it a bit big. This thing flies faster than a bullet. Gong Yun felt that he might be played to death by two women this time.
It's okay, you'll know when the time comes. Rong Ran smiled.
Gong Yun looked back at everyone who was stunned, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he couldn't give up the plan after it got to this point, right? Doesn’t that mean that so much investment has been wasted?
Get it back first and then talk about it. If you take any such action again, you must ask clearly before taking action. Gong Yun could only remind himself this in his heart.
The interior of the cemetery is filled with wormwood and shrubs as tall as a person, as well as thick trees. The branches of some trees have even grown through the bodies of these aircraft.
The helicopter circled over the aircraft cemetery several times before finally finding a place where it could barely land. However, you can't just fall down directly, because the helicopter's propeller will hit the surrounding tree crowns and cause damage.
Gong Yun and Zuo Zuoteng discussed it and finally decided that the personnel would go down first to conduct temporary development. That is to say, the helicopter is lowered to a height of more than ten meters above the ground and hovers. The personnel used ropes to lower the special operators down, and then the helicopter was raised until they cleared the area before landing.
The special operators began to slide down one by one along the rope. Gong Yun and Zuo Zuoteng jumped directly, picked up their swords and started cutting wood, and then the special operators moved it away in sections.
Fortunately, the area that needed to be cleared was not very large. After an hour, an area large enough for two helicopters to land was cleared.
After the two planes landed, the two pilots immediately changed careers and became chefs to prepare food. Others were still clearing the wormwood around them. Unless the tall wormwood is cleared away, you won't even know that there are mutant beasts coming over. At least a mile in radius must be cleared to be enough, because subsequent staff will have to set up tents and other things when they arrive.
This time the special features of the warrior were revealed. The sword turned into a sickle. This would be really troublesome if a firearms unit came over.
The removal of wormwood is not slow, because only the wormwood and shrubs as tall as a person need to be placed there. There is no need to clean and transport them away. They are reserved for bedding and boiling water for cooking.
Because of the transportation capacity, there is no plan to transport bedding and other items. Even food is difficult to supply in sufficient quantities, let alone some dispensable items, and transportation costs are too high.
A piece of bread is worth one contribution coin in the City of Hope, and it costs hundreds of contribution coins to transport it here through this relay method. All the consumption along the way is just for the small service delivered here.
The sixty-odd people managed to clear out a space of 100 meters before dark. The possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack is basically solved. As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem. The second batch of sixty-odd people will arrive at noon tomorrow. Talents will arrive, and a helicopter can only make one round trip per day. Don't dare to fly at night. This place is already deep into the mutant beast activity area, and the possibility of being attacked by flying monsters at night is very high.
After nightfall, the special operators chatted between the two helicopters, and a few stood on the helicopters to guard. But fortunately, there was no wind or rain, otherwise it would have been really miserable. We wouldn't dare hide in a helicopter here. .
