601.
Not long after, Lei Gang also received a call from Wang Xianguo. He was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair.
It’s finally done!
Before this, they had actually done several experimental assembly of engines on the aircraft, but they all used the WS-10S engine with a modified shape. The purpose was just to adjust the center of gravity of the aircraft and pre-write the flight control in advance. Conduct stability experiments and adjust the fuel system.
During the entire process, this fighter jet, which had high hopes, never really "started".
At best, it glides on the ground for dozens of meters.
But even just this, all members of the entire project team are already excited.
The plane started to move.
And, it moves very well.
Hydraulics, radar, fuel, avionics, flight control, weapons... all systems are running well. What it really lacks is a strong heart.
And now, the heart is finally here.
Passing the ground experiment means that the heart has completed its biggest test. Although the subsequent high-altitude experiment is equally important, when the design is strictly implemented in accordance with the standards and the new materials perform perfectly, the theory will not There are no risks.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, this aircraft has almost reached the standard for test aircraft flight.
Thinking of this, Lei Gang quickly stood up and rushed to the assembly workshop impatiently.
There, engineers are making final optimization adjustments to the J-22 fighter jet, which was previously called the "Raptor" but has now been renamed the "Canglong".
"Take off the canopy first. Bring over the LS201 and measure the thickness and smoothness of the riveting. If there is any problem, adjust it immediately."
"Is Lao Ma still here? The sealing strips will have to be processed by hand soon. Why is he gone?"
"Lao Ma has been working continuously for two days. I let him go to sleep. Let's wait until he wakes up."
"Okay, then let's do flaw detection first, paying special attention to the full-motion horizontal tail. There has been a problem with that part before. Don't let it go wrong again."
"Don't worry, Brother Liu, I have checked it many times before assembly..."
"How many times? Only a few times? Ten times is not too many! Let me tell you, we must not have any problems on our first flight. After we take off, even if there is a shaking somewhere, as long as it is not in the design, everyone will come over and help me. Review!”
"I know, I know, Brother Liu, you are too nervous..."
"I'm nervous, aren't you?"
"It's harmful, it's all the same... Stop gossiping, turn on the flaw detector, and pay attention to radiation protection."
"Copy that, be careful, avoid non-staff members——Hey? Mr. Lei? Why are you here?"
It was only then that the engineer named Brother Liu, whose real name was Liu Quanhua, noticed Mr. Lei walking over. He quickly stopped the other people who had started to do something, put down the instruments in his hands and went forward.
Before Lei Gang could speak, he rushed to report:
"Mr. Lei, we are making good progress here. We are currently conducting flaw detection inspections. After completion, we will conduct another inspection on all handmade precision parts."
"But the problem now is that the engine progress is already behind us."
"If they can't complete the engine manufacturing within two weeks, our first flight will also be affected."
"Mr. Lei, do you think we should urge them there, or if there is a need for resources, we can allocate some to them..."
Hearing this, Lei Gang nodded with satisfaction.
When he first heard Liu Quanhua talk about the progress of Institute 606, he thought the other party was going to take this opportunity to make a fuss and make a small report, but he didn't expect that he would say this in the end.
Is this still the Liu Quanhua I knew before?
You must know that before this, Liu Quanhua was well-known throughout the entire 601 Institute for his ability to spend every penny he spent.
Not to mention giving away resources, even if you borrow a wrench, he will chase you and get it back.
Not only is he stingy, but "the pattern is not big" is also what many leaders say about Liu Quanhua.
Everyone said that he only focused on immediate interests and never looked at the overall situation, so he could never continue to rise.
But looking at it now, why doesn't he look at the overall situation?
He has no big picture to look at!
When the environment is full of difficulties and obstacles, no matter how ambitious a person is, they can only stay in a corner and protect their own interests as much as possible.
You can't blame him for "having no pattern", because when the cake is made big enough and there are enough opportunities, his pattern will naturally become bigger.
Thinking of this, Lei Gang replied:
"Don't bother me. I'm here to tell you that the F119 trial production was successful and has passed the ground test."
"What? Really? That's great!"
Liu Quanhua gave a high-five, then immediately turned back to the engineer waiting aside and said:
"Quickly, dismantle that fake F119. The real one is coming. Prepare the tools and processes. We must complete the assembly in the shortest possible time!"
"Hey, hey, don't worry, the aerial test run hasn't been completed yet..."
Lei Gang quickly grabbed him, but the latter smiled mysteriously.
"Mr. Lei, don't we know about the urine properties of Institute 606? Now that they have completed the ground test, the aerial test must be 100% certain, otherwise the news will not be released, not even you, not even Mr. Lin, they can Will reveal it!”
"They are definitely sure this time... We have to prepare quickly."
"Xiao Hu, go and wake up the old horse quickly. I have bowed ninety-nine times, except for this last shiver. No matter how tired you are, just hold on!"
"Okay, I'll wake him up."
A young engineer turned and walked to the small cubicle at the back of the assembly workshop. After a while, he came out with a white-haired man who looked obviously tired but had shining eyes.
As soon as he saw Lei Gang, the man whose real name was Ma Wentao hurriedly took two steps forward and asked:
"Lao Lei, has 606 been completed?"
"It's completed. It will start high-altitude testing immediately. It is estimated that the assembly of the entire machine will begin within two weeks."
"I originally wanted to take advantage of their slow progress to let you rest for a few days, but I'm afraid I won't have time now."
"If you don't have time, you don't have time. If you can still bear it, let's finish it!"
Ma Wentao didn't even look at Lei Gang, turned around and walked in the direction of Canglong 01, and in his hand was the set of tools that had been with him for decades.
It was a common set of riveting tools.
But using this set of tools, he completed almost all high-precision riveting work on the aircraft with his own hands in more than 6 months, hammer by hammer and chisel by chisel.
Entering the small cabin thousands of times, kneeling and standing up tens of thousands of times, waving your wrist hundreds of thousands of times...
And in all these actions, he never made a mistake.
Craftsman spirit?
This word, which was born in a Western context, is highly praised in itself, but if it is used on Ma Wentao, it is still not worthy of him.
He is no craftsman.
It should be said that he is an outstanding, excellent and professional worker.
He only does one thing in his life, just like those determined swordsmen in martial arts novels.
The tool in his hand is his sword.
Looking at his back, Lei Gang secretly took a breath.
He knew that there were many workers like Ma Wentao in Project No. 22.
In the past, their role was often ignored, but starting from Project 22... their names will be associated with this "Canglong".
Thinking of this, Lei Gang shouted to Ma Wentao:
"Old Ma, carry it one more time. When the project is over, I will apply for a grand prize for you!"
After hearing his words, Ma Wentao turned around, took a disdainful sip, and then replied:
"The grand prize is nothing, I want to see the first flight!"
