The Sichuan Basin, located in the southwest of the country, is a mysterious and legendary place.
The giant panda, a superstar that is popular all over the world, Dujiangyan, which has a history of thousands of years and is still functioning, Sichuan-style hot pot with chili pepper as the core, Leshan Giant Buddha at the intersection of the three rivers, the famous Buddhist mountain known as "Emei's most beautiful place in the world", and The Chao Shou that rules the whole Sichuan, plus salty tofu curd.
As a metal monster in the aviation field, Chengdu Loma, the mainstay of China's aviation industry, is entrenched here.
Sichuan Province, this is my hometown, a place that makes people dream.
"It's like going home."
The J-10s fighter jet, flying smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, was getting closer and closer to its destination along the route. Zhou Hai held the cold metal joystick and looked through the glass cockpit at the endless mountainous areas below, silently sighing.
From enrolling in the Air Force Aviation University, it started in Chengdu, first went to the capital, then to Chuncheng, passed through Shicheng and Quzhou, traveled nearly thousands of kilometers, and finally served in the regiment in Pengcheng, Sichuan Province.
"There are still 50 kilometers away from the base. Zero, how are you feeling? I want to take over the control and prepare to land." At this time, Overlord's hearty voice sounded in the military encrypted radio channel.
During this long journey of about 1,200 kilometers, Overlord was recording and observing Zhou Hai's flying performance. Facts have proved that this new flyer's physical fitness and flying ability are almost unparalleled. He is simply abnormal. .
Non-equipment protection flight, first time on a real aircraft, the whole flight performed perfectly!
Hearing Overlord's prompt, Zhou Hai's expression remained as before, he breathed steadily and responded: "I'm fine, just take it."
The J-10s flight trip from Shicheng to Pengcheng was an excellent experience. Just by flying at high altitude, you can clearly feel the difference between a higher-education aircraft and a fighter jet.
Responsive, lightweight and fast.
Overlord did not hesitate and immediately took over the control of the aircraft. He held the joystick in his right hand and observed the flight route and parameters displayed on the onboard screen. While lowering the altitude, he flew towards the Pengcheng base located in the mountainous area.
A few minutes later, the J-10s fighter jet carrying two people entered Pengcheng, steadily lowered its altitude, and headed towards the Pengcheng base located on the edge of the mountainous area.
"Is the base on the side of a mountain?"
As he gradually approached, Zhou Hai looked at the side of the cockpit and saw a confidential military facility on the side of a mountain, two straight main runways, and a wide and empty apron area, and said softly.
The Pengcheng base equipped with J-10D fighters has unveiled its mysterious and unique veil.
"Yes."
Overlord controlled the machine steadily and responded.
Pengcheng Base is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is mainly built in the Jiufeng Mountain area and belongs to the Western Theater Command. It has a very high level of confidentiality and there is only one military road hidden in the mountains for access.
Here, any unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching the Pengcheng base.
Ordinary people who mistakenly enter the security perimeter of the base will be checked for camera equipment, and then warned and expelled.
If a person is carrying a threatening weapon, he will be shot dead directly after giving a warning to no avail.
Of course, if there is a large-scale invasion by hostile elements, a high-level war weapon stationed at the Pengcheng base will make the enemy understand what a nightmare is.
The Air Force doesn't pay attention to marksmanship or tactics, it just bombs.
There's nothing a bomb can't fix, and if one isn't enough, there's a whole arsenal waiting for you.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by the gradually weakening roar of the Russian-made al-31fn turbofan engine, the silver-white painted J-10s fighter jet steadily lowered its altitude. After obtaining the landing permission and ground wind parameters, it headed straight for the main runway of the Pengcheng base.
The nose of the aircraft was slightly raised, and the three-point landing gear on the underside of the aircraft's belly was protruded. The high-performance aviation tires were in contact with the runway surface, causing violent friction and causing streams of green smoke to appear. The fuselage vibrated slightly and then stabilized.
The Overlord, who won the free air combat championship, has unparalleled flying skills and is extremely proficient. He firmly controls the aircraft body. The landing process is precise and graceful, just like a textbook, with perfect timing and no unnecessary movements.
Takeoff and landing run through a pilot's entire career. If you want to check a pilot's strength, you only need to observe the takeoff and landing process.
Every pilot treats the process of takeoff and landing roughly the same, but the details are different.
"Well, Overlord, why are there no fighter planes and towers?"
During the landing, Zhou Hai carefully observed the huge Pengcheng base, but did not find the iconic tower of the air force base, and there was no J-10d fleet as expected on the apron, which made him slightly confused.
"You'll know right away."
Overlord responded with a smile on his face.
Do you like people who tell lies so much? ——Zhou Hai shrugged and waited calmly.
After successfully landing, Bawang was familiar with the road and controlled the entire J-10S to leave the main runway and enter the taxiway. After traveling for more than 30 meters, he turned the nose and a spacious passageway about 300 meters long appeared in front of him. The surface of the mountain is covered with a layer of greenery, and at the end is a man-made cave hangar.
"It turned out to be a cave hangar."
When Zhou Hai saw the scene at the end of the passage, he was confused and suddenly realized.
The cave hangar has both concealment and defensive properties. With the help of the natural mountain as a cover, it can effectively withstand heavy fire attacks and is extremely defensive and invulnerable. It can also avoid enemy satellite detection and expose its true combat effectiveness.
However, due to the high construction cost and the need for innate conditions, the occupancy rate of cave hangars is not as high as that of conventional shed-type hangars and open space hangars.
"No, the tower is built on the cliff. The base has a total of ten hangars, which can maintain twenty fighter planes operating at the same time. The total capacity is seventy. The top is more than 200 meters thick granite. The gate is 5 meters thick. It can withstand How about a strategic nuclear warhead with a yield of 500,000 tons? Have you gained some experience?"
The entire J-10s fighter jet was moving forward at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour. The Overlord, who was sitting in the front cockpit, did not hide his inner pride and pointed at the facility in the middle of the mountain cliff in front of him. He looked at the situation at the Pengcheng base. Give a brief introduction.
After hearing these words, Zhou Hai immediately cast his eyes towards the tower about a hundred meters above the ground, clicked his tongue and said, "Overlord, is this a product of the third-line construction back then?"
crazy!
Real madness!
The tower is built on a granite mountain wall more than 100 meters high. The cave hangar is enough to maintain 20 fighter planes operating at the same time, and can easily withstand a nuclear warhead with an equivalent of 500,000 tons.
This seemingly peaceful Pengcheng base is actually extremely crazy and seems to have hollowed out the entire mountain.
Such a vast and magnificent project seemed to be possible only during the special period of third-line construction.
