"Xiaohan? Xiaohan is here!" The old man struggled to twist his body, and Shihan quickly stepped forward to hold the ladder.
"Slow down! How did you get in?" Shi Han said helplessly.
The old man finally exited the narrow sliding cabin. Most of his white hair was already wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead. He held a mini flashlight in his mouth and slowly climbed down the ladder with his big palm-like hands.
Shi Han quickly took the flashlight from his mouth and held his arm.
"Go, go, I'm not 70 or 80 years old!" The old man waved his hands in disgust and opened Shi Han's hand to support him.
"You are already eighty-two!" Shi Han said helplessly.
"Stop talking nonsense! You kid is running around every day and has forgotten about Cloud Eagle One? When will Cloud Eagle One make its first flight?" the old man yelled dissatisfied.
Shi Han asked: "What are you in a hurry for? If the pilot is not well trained, who will fly?"
There have been no aircraft on the earth for hundreds of years, and the pilot training materials found in the data pile are not at all relevant to Cloud Eagle 1. Just building the flight simulator took a lot of energy from Shihan.
The old man stopped talking. He had participated in all aspects of Cloud Eagle One from the beginning. Of course he knew this. He just nags out of habit.
"What were you doing just now? Is there something wrong with the hatch?" Shi Han changed the subject.
"No problem. Mr. Fan wants to see if there is room for improvement and speed up the opening and closing of the hatch." The engineer next to him said helplessly.
The old man immediately glared at him and said to Shi Han: "If you don't arrange a test flight, what can I do?"
"Fly! Fly tomorrow!" Shi Han said quickly. If he didn't arrange a test flight, the old man would beat himself up. Shi Han didn't want to try his cattail leaf-like slap again.
The old man's name was Fan Jingwu, who was Shi Han's first teacher and also Shi Yan's and Wu Qingnian's master. Shi Han always treated him like a grandfather. Mr. Fan is the most senior weapons expert and aircraft expert at the base.
When Shi Han said he would fly tomorrow, the old man fell silent. What he had learned in his life was useless until Wu Qingnian and Shi Yan launched the anti-gravity warship project. In the middle, he lost his beloved disciples twice, and for a time he even thought that Shi Han was dead.
Looking at the Cloud Eagle No.1 in front of me, this life is worth living! There is hope for revival!
"Let's go! Have a drink with me!" The old man adjusted his mood in an instant, grabbed Shi Han and left.
"Is there an attack from Dawn City?" Fan Lao and Shi Han sat facing each other. Between the two chairs was a small square table with two plates of bacon and a bottle of fruit wine on it.
"Maybe we'll call." Shi Han said.
"Then how are you going to respond? Are you going to start a war with them?" Mr. Fan picked up a piece of bacon.
"Their genetically modified human warriors are very strong, so I have to fly the Cloud Eagle No. 1 as soon as possible. I must use air superiority to eliminate them from the base!" Shi Han said.
"Well, what if they don't come?" Mr. Fan continued to ask.
"Not coming? If they don't start a war, I will continue to gather the tribe's population and increase the strength of the base." Shi Han thought to himself that there is a high probability that Dawn City will come over.
"You never thought about taking the initiative?" Mr. Fan chewed the bacon and glanced at Shi Han sideways.
"Our enemies are not human beings. If we start a war, we will cause casualties. I want to defeat others without fighting as much as possible!" Shi Han raised his cup.
Mr. Fan touched him happily and took a sip before saying: "The idea of avoiding casualties is right. There are not many humans left!"
Mr. Fan changed his tone and said, "But because there are not many humans left, you must gain the right to speak for all mankind! Concentrate the power of all mankind! Otherwise, why do you have to fight against aliens?"
"Yes, I understand. As long as there is no problem with the test flight of Cloud Eagle One, we will speed up the construction of the Cloud Eagle flight formation. As long as we have control of the air, no matter whether it is Dawn City or any other city, we will be unable to resist!" Shi Han said.
"Well, your fists must be shown! This also gives them confidence. If your fists are not strong, why would they mess with you?" Mr. Fan ate and drank.
Mr. Fan suddenly said: "When will you and Han Yatou get married?"
Shi Han paused for a moment and then said, "Just wait! There are so many things going on in the base right now, and she is too busy to see her every day. When the base is stable, I will consider getting married!"
"Tch~~, what are you waiting for? Old man, when I fell in love with my mother-in-law, I took her back to the room that night! You already live together, so it's easier! Just announce it, right?" Mr. Fan said disdainfully.
Shihan immediately excused himself and ran away because he was full.
On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was sunny. People were gathered in front of the largest experimental platform at Chuanhu Base, and the top of the city wall was also full of people. Everyone was waiting for a historic moment.
"Driver in position!"
"The co-pilot is in position!"
"The hatch is closed!"
"The landing platform is cleared!"
"Power system starts!" The fuselage of Cloud Eagle No. 1 was shaken. If you look closely, you will find that the landing gear has been extended. This shows that it is no longer load-bearing and the fuselage is already in a suspended state.
"Cloud Eagle One is ready, please give instructions!"
Shi Han looked at the silver-gray aircraft through the tower, picked up the communicator and said calmly: "Yunying No. 1, take off!"
"Copy that!" the pilot of Cloud Eagle No. 1 responded excitedly and steadily raised the control stick.
"Hoo~!" Cloud Eagle No. 1 rose vertically, bringing with it an invisible wave of wind!
"Wow~" The people around were amazed. Cloud Eagle 1 had quickly risen to an altitude of 500 meters.
"The anti-gravity engine is normal, please give instructions to Cloud Eagle One!" After Cloud Eagle One rose to 500 meters, it hovered steadily there.
"Cloud Eagle 1, free maneuver test! Complete!"
"Yunying received it!" The pilot suddenly raised the control stick, and saw Yunying No. 1 shooting high into the sky like a stone thrown by a slingshot!
"Wow! Slow down! This is an illegal operation!" the co-pilot screamed! The intense pressure made him feel nauseous and dizzy. Overloaded!
"I'm sorry! I'm testing Cloud Eagle's vertical maneuverability! Start the tail spray!" the pilot said while suppressing nausea.
"Take it easy! The commander is watching too!" the co-pilot warned, and then said, "Start the exhaust engine!"
I saw the two tail engines of Cloud Eagle 1 suddenly spraying out blue tail flames! Whoosh! Yunying No. 1 shot out like Li Xuan's arrow!
"Is that Dawn City?" the co-pilot asked in confusion as he looked at a small black siege on the white ground.
The driver also saw the small and fleeting town, "It should be!"
In fact, Dawn City is only thirty or forty kilometers away from Chuanhu Base. It takes three days of trekking on the ground, but it can be reached in a blink of an eye on the Cloud Eagle One!
Then they tried the Cobra Maneuver, Falling Leaves, Immelman Maneuver, etc. in the video, but found that it was pointless to do these actions because they were too simple! The limit of Cloud Eagle One is the driver's overload limit!
As long as the pilots can endure it, Cloudhawk One's maneuverability can make all the maneuvers they can imagine!
