The first floor workshop of Beihang Heavy Industry Group.
Ground crew removed the landing gear dampers.
Two fixed-wing Yinglong fighter jets painted in Chinese red rolled out of the workshop.
There are lights on both sides of the runway at the Beihang Heavy Industry Experimental Base.
Shu Beidou stood quietly on the side of the runway.
he knows.
The first scientific experiment is full of unknown dangers.
But.
If there is danger, should we give up?
The Chinese have the opportunity and ability to build airplanes.
And it is equipped with advanced radar systems ahead of other countries in the world.
Shu Beidou is unwilling to give up the exploration of the future sky and space at this time.
He believes it.
Ye Anran must not be willing either.
Qian Weishen and other nine scientific research experts will definitely not agree.
He looked back at the young air force soldiers standing in two rows on one side of the Beihang Heavy Industry Group workshop.
children.
sorry.
14 Flying Eagle pilots stood in front of Chief of Staff Xie Ke in standard military posture.
They are ready!
Xie Ke looked at the young faces in front of him.
He looked solemn.
It felt like a big stone was pressing down on my heart.
In case something happens.
How could he explain it to his family?
How should I explain to Ye Anran?
Shen Yiqin: "Chief of Staff, please give me an order!"
…
When he finished speaking.
The other 13 pilots shouted in unison: "Chief of Staff, please give the order!"
Xie Ke: "Okay!"
"If you are an only child, please step back."
…
Of course.
Until he finished speaking.
The feet of the 14 pilots seemed to be rooted in the ground, motionless!
Xie Ke's Adam's apple rolled.
He investigated.
There are quite a few pilots here who are only children.
At home, they are the apple of their parents' eyes.
Their housekeepers and servants all call them young masters at home!
No one responded.
Xie Ke frowned and said again: "You are not an only child in the family, take a step forward!"
Wow!
They took a step forward simultaneously.
Beside them, Xia Liguo, Liu Jingxin, and Shu Beidou watched this scene with worry.
"Let's draw lots!"
Xie Ke really couldn't decide.
He wrote a few notes, rolled them into a ball and placed them in the palm of his hand.
Everyone draws lots to decide who will go on the night flight.
soon.
Shen Yiqin and Li Er handed the note to Xie Ke and saluted him at the same time.
"Take care of yourself!"
"yes!"
…
They immediately turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the parked Yinglong fighter jet.
The two quickly boarded the plane with the assistance of ground staff.
Get into the cockpit.
Shen Yiqin and Li Er looked at each other.
They had mastered the Yinglong fighter's control system in the simulator.
It is truly possible to find the many buttons on the console and identify the functions of the buttons with eyes closed.
Shu Beidou did not stay outside the runway.
He quickly went to the control tower of Beihang Heavy Industry Group.
With the assistance of the A-314 medium-range warning radar, two aircraft on standby can be seen on the scanner.
He ordered the No. 2 and No. 3 planes to take off through the radios on the ground and on the plane.
Two Yinglong fighter jets ignited.
Then slowly push out of the runway and accelerate.
Outside the runway.
The Flying Eagles, Xia Liguo and others watched the departing plane.
Vision is too dark.
If it weren't for the fixed wing equipped with width lights and night navigation lights on both sides.
They can't see anything on the ground.
In the middle of the night when I can't see my fingers, in the sky where there is no star.
There are two stars moving at high speed in the sky.
People on the ground.
I sweated a lot for them.
Shen Yiqin held the joystick.
He was excited.
Excited.
Be cautious and cautious.
This is their second time flying Yinglong fighter jets.
In fact.
Every pilot of the Flying Eagles has truly experienced the Yinglong fighter jet.
Although Gao Zhihang regards his plane as a treasure.
I can't stand the greed of my brothers.
It can only be lent to each of the brothers to open once.
only.
This was their first night flight since becoming pilots.
It was pitch black outside the cockpit.
Nothing can be seen.
They couldn't even tell which side was the sky and which side was the earth.
everything.
Just go by feel.
"Shen Yiqin, how are you doing over there? I can't see anything here!"
"me too."
"No wonder the chief of staff asked us to write a will. Isn't it true that we won't be able to fly back?"
"Don't talk nonsense in heaven."
Shen Yiqin stared at a palm-sized square in front of him.
There is a horizontal line in the middle of the square, glowing green.
Above the horizontal line are more than a dozen tick lines.
In addition to those fixed scale lines, there is also a line that is constantly waving left and right.
Shen Yiqin: "Li Er."
"Look carefully at the control panel."
"Is it exactly the same as when we were training on a simulated night flight in the warehouse?"
…
"etc!"
Li Er looked at the control console.
He shook the joystick slightly.
When the joystick shakes, the line in the middle also tilts.
"Old Shen! It's so fucking amazing!"
"..."
When the two of them were exploring the center console of the aircraft, Shu Beidou said:
"No. 2, No. 3, No. 1 is calling!"
"Received on the 2nd."
"Received on the 3rd."
…
Shu Beidou held the handle of the phone, with the corner of his mouth pressed against the microphone, his eyes constantly paying attention to the radar display.
He could clearly see the altitude, distance, and direction of No. 2 and No. 3 on the radar.
"We have installed navigation radars on the latest batch of Yinglong fighter consoles."
"That palm-sized monitor you just saw."
"It's the signal sent by the radar based on your flight attitude."
"The line waving on the display is the detection line used to observe air targets and terrain features."
"It helps you identify your current orientation."
"Flying altitude, flying attitude, and even able to detect air targets."
"There is a moving fluorescent dot on your radar display. That is your mutual wingman."
"You need to calculate your distance based on the orientation provided by the navigation radar, and then find the destination coordinates."
…
Shen Yiqin: "Received on the 2nd."
Li Er: "Received on the 3rd."
…
Shu Beidou breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of engineers formed a ring behind him, surrounding Shu Beidou.
Some of them are scientific researchers who have returned from overseas.
Some people are direct students of nine academic experts including Qian Weishen.
In the work of developing airborne radar, they helped Beidou solve a lot of troubles.
The A-314 radar display was provided by Ye Anran a long time ago.
only one.
The airborne radar display on the Yinglong fighter jet was a CRT display obtained by Shu Beidou after Xie Ke hung up the phone and went to the German External Affairs Department in Shanghai to find Minister Anna.
In 1897, German physicist Braun invented the cathode ray tube (CRT), which was later widely used in televisions.
CRT monitors rely on electron beams to excite phosphors on the inner surface of the screen to display images.
Since the phosphor goes out quickly after being lit, the electron gun must continually excite these dots in a cycle.
Each pixel of a CRT monitor has three primary colors: red, green, and blue.
After Shu Beidou got the CRT monitor.
Along with dozens of experts, engineers stayed behind closed doors to study its role in airborne radar.
finally.
An antenna platform stabilizer is installed on the Yinglong fighter aircraft and connected to the CRT display through the sensor.
Your own targets appear green.
Enemy targets appear red.
Topography is shown in blue.
After many ground tests, Shu Beidou and his scientific research team are just now ready to put it on the computer for testing.
They looked at the picture returned by the A-314 radar.
Numbers 2 and 3 are turning.
Under the warning radar mark, their intention can be seen clearly, it is Hecheng Airport.
Success! !
When Shu Beidou saw the scene in front of him, tears instantly filled his eyes.
Bang bang bang~
Applause roared in the command tower.
This is the result of months of research! !
It's what everyone dreams of.
Shu Beidou supported the table and slowly walked out of the crowd. Then his legs went weak and he fell down in a daze!
