Li Hai returned to the infield, and when he arrived at the dormitory, Dang Weimin had already returned.
As soon as he saw Li Hai, Dang Weimin, who was reading the instructional pamphlet handed out at the new member training and mobilization meeting at his desk, stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "You're back. I heard that you made a big splash outside. Ah, you shocked the staff commanding the tower, and he was full of praise for you. You are indeed a powerful brother of the Sea Eagle Regiment, and you did not embarrass the old army!"
Li Hai glanced at Dang Weimin angrily, walked to his seat and sat down heavily, like a deflated ball, "It's like he has been with the Seahawks for a long time."
"Anyway, we are currently in the Haiying Regiment, and our salaries are still paid by the Haiying Regiment." Dang Weimin didn't mind. He observed Li Hai and frowned, "Something's wrong, it doesn't look like he's trying to show off. It seems like I was criticized. Huh? What's going on?"
Li Hai picked up the teapot and found that there was no water in it, so he put it down a little irritably.
Dang Weimin stood up and walked over to boil a kettle and poured half a cup of boiling water for Li Hai. When he opened the cap of the kettle, he asked carefully, "Old Li, what's wrong?"
Obviously there was a big discrepancy between what he heard and what actually happened. The party and the people did not dare to joke anymore and quickly took care of their comrades.
"Do you know what plane I'm flying today?" Li Hai raised his head and asked Dang Weimin.
The party shakes its head for the people.
Li Hai stared into Dang Weimin's eyes and said word by word, "Dongsanguai No. 7 Jianqi."
"J-7?" Dang Weimin didn't react.
Li Hai strengthened his tone and said, "Dongsanguai, the one that Mr. Li drove back then!"
"The Goddess of Agelessness?" Dang Weimin shrank his neck subconsciously and almost jumped up in surprise. He blinked several times and stared at Li Hai for a while before he was convinced that it was true.
He pulled the chair over and sat down, stretched his neck and asked, "They asked you to fly the Immortal Goddess for the first solo flight? Did you really fly the Dongsanguai J-7?"
"Yes, it is really the Dongsanguai J-7." Li Hai sighed and said, "When the tarp was lifted, I didn't realize that it was the Dongsanguai J-7. I thought I was being asked to admire the aircraft. , I didn’t expect that I would be asked to fly her solo. It’s incredible.”
Dang Weimin’s attention was all on J-7EGGH No. 037. He pulled a chair closer to Li Hai and asked with great interest, "Tell me, tell me, what about the Goddess of Ages? Is it really that magical? "
After going through major hardships, it has not been scrapped but has made significant contributions, especially in handling dangerous situations in the air. Over the years, the only fighter aircraft in active service is the No. 037 J-7EGGH. Among second-generation aircraft, third-generation aircraft and even fourth-generation aircraft, except for the Meritorious fighter that has participated in combat in the past, only the No. 037 J-7EGGH has such an important position in the hearts of pilots.
Li Hai was deep in thought and found it difficult to speak.
"Tell me, why are you so stunned?" Dang Weimin was anxious, "Tell me about the Goddess of Ages."
Li Hai had no choice but to say, "It's not what we imagined at all. Let's talk about the good points first. The aerodynamic shape basically follows the J-7 but there are major changes. The air inlet is indeed a clam type, and the airborne radar should be a more advanced one. A large size model, but not quite like the one used on Xiaolong.”
"The engine is also a type I have never seen before, and its thrust is much stronger than that of the J-7. The most critical thing is the flight control system, which is a very strange control system."
Dang Weimin quickly asked, "What kind?"
Li Hai said, "It's a bit like Su Liangqi's."
"Su Liangqi? No way, that plane is outdated." Dang Weimin frowned, as if he couldn't bear that the immortal goddess in his heart was using old technology, "You have never flown Su Liangqi, how do you know that it is like Su Liangqi?" That bulky composite flight control system used by Erqi.”
"I haven't driven it but I have studied it." Li Hai shook his head and said, "It feels like it, some of it looks like a composite flight control system. But I'm sure it must be a fly-by-wire plus mechanical mode flight control system. Of course it's definitely not derived from The flight control system used on Su Liangqi is bulky and large, and it is impossible to use it on a single-engine aircraft."
The Party for the People still doesn’t believe it.
Li Hai said, "But it is quite comfortable to drive. Once you get used to it, you will feel comfortable. It's just..."
"Just what?" Dang Weimin asked anxiously again.
Li Hai smiled bitterly, "The interior is too bad, really. If you go back and look at the cockpit, you will see that low-end cars have been modified by high-end auto parts stores, and tractors are equipped with large-size display screens. They are nondescript."
Dang Weimin was immediately shocked. He could stuff an egg into his mouth when he opened it.
"It's over, the image of the immortal goddess has collapsed." Dang Weimin muttered to himself.
It is no exaggeration at all. In the minds of pilots of their generation, the No. 037 J-7EGGH has become a symbol of the times, an idol hero and a heartthrob among fighter aircraft. Subconscious and imagining and longing for beauty, it is inevitable that it is unbearable for the immortal goddess to have any flaws.
Li Hai raised his hand and waved it in front of Dang Weimin's eyes, "Don't be sad. Brigade Shi said that the legendary fighter planes are all scarred and have mottled paint. I think that's right. How can you not be injured after making numerous achievements? And I suspect that the Dongsanguai J-7 has long been used as a new technology test machine, and it is most likely responsible for testing new technologies and new accessories in actual combat use."
After a while, Dang Weimin came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "This explanation is easier to accept. After all, it is a technical testing machine. It is normal to be neither fish nor fowl."
Then Dang Weimin began to enter the envious and jealous mode, staring at Li Hai and said, "You are lucky enough to be able to fly the Goddess of Ages. You said that there are not many people who fly solo for the second and third time, but Who is as lucky as you? I even want to go to the first solo show again."
When Li Hai heard this, he immediately became irritated and said, "You haven't understood what I mean even after listening for a long time?"
"It's clear. You are showing off to me. It's okay. You often do this kind of thing anyway. After you have a partner, you will always talk to each other and praise Lin Li when you meet someone. I'm used to it." Party for the People The adult said a lot and waved his hands.
Li Hai was so angry that he didn't know where to go, so he could only continue to sigh.
Dang Weimin slowly understood and found that something was wrong with Li Hai's state. Then he thought seriously and said, "Wait a minute, you shouldn't have this expression. Did you encounter some problem while flying?"
"I was scolded and severely punished by Brigade Shi." Li Hai said dejectedly, "I hesitated several times during the tactical maneuver, and the timing of pushing the accelerator was not correct, which made the whole continuous movement seem slow and insufficient. simply."
Dang Weimin frowned and said, "You shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. What did Captain Shi say?"
"He said that I had developed a habit and it was a habitual problem. But I obviously don't have it. The reason why I was hesitant was actually because I was driving Dongsanguai." Li Hai said aggrievedly, spreading his hands, "That's If there is a problem with the legendary fighter aircraft in my hands, how can I explain it to everyone? All in all, the psychological pressure is too great. Really, I will definitely not do this if I am asked to fly other fighters."
Dang Weimin understood and said in agreement, "Yes, Dongsanguai is different. It is impossible to fly such a fighter plane without stress. If it were me, my movements might be unnatural. When the instructor conducts the assessment, you The performance is obvious to all, how could he make stupid mistakes."
Li Hai said helplessly, "Team Shi said that I would have to fly three times before modifying the Flying Shark. Depending on what he meant, it would probably take two or three months. He didn't even mention changing to another fighter plane. By the way, there's also Zhu Colonel Wei, Zhu Wei, the electronic reconnaissance expert of the Northwest Falcon Brigade. He and Brigade Shi have the same view, thinking that I have some habitual ailments. Weimin, do you think I really have a minor ailment?"
Dang Weimin recalled it carefully, but he was not sure, and said, "No, right? You have always flown like this, and the instructor never said there was a problem before. The hesitation in pushing the throttle was due to high psychological pressure, and the control movements There’s a transformation. Isn’t it?”
"That's true, but seeing that the two leaders were so sure, I even suspected that I had some minor control problems." Li Hai thought hard, recalling his control actions.
The two young captains did not yet have the ability to see the problem through the manipulation of smiles. The instructors taught them standard movements, and they followed the requirements in the training syllabus, but each movement would not be exactly the same in everyone's hands. Moreover, combat flying is closely related to the pilot's personality. A calm person has a steady flying style, while a hot-tempered person usually retracts the landing gear in advance when taking off.
But in any case, Li Hai's hesitation when pushing the throttle lever during the flight sequence was a low-level mistake. What Shi Leilei said when he reprimanded him was not an exaggeration at all. The slightest hesitation in close combat would result in loss of the opportunity to attack and even death.
In close combat in modern air combat, as fighter jets become more and more advanced in performance and maneuver more and more agile, the outcome of the fight between the two sides is usually decided within a few seconds, such as the long dogfight scenes in the 1950s and 1960s. Hardly ever again.
A hesitation at a critical moment means the balance of victory will tilt in favor of the opponent.
After thinking about it, Dang Weimin suggested, "Please pay attention when reviewing the test. It is difficult to feel some subconscious small movements. There should be a recorder in the cockpit to take a look at the control process."
"This is the only way. I could still fly in the afternoon, but now it's cancelled. I have to analyze the problem carefully." Li Hai rubbed his face hard and encouraged himself.
Dang Weimin added some water to Li Hai and said, "Release the pressure. Speaking of Gensangdong Sanguai, it is also a fighter jet. Brigade Shi is right, it is the equipment in active service. If it is because she is a legendary fighter jet, she dare not fly hard, It’s disrespectful to her.”
"It's easy to say, I'll let you try flying." Li Hai snorted coldly.
The party for the people grinned.
Yes, easier said than done.
