The two brothers became unemployed at Shen Huoyi Factory.
In addition to normal physical training every day, I also learn the flying skills of the two-seat J-15 and get into the simulated cockpit. For them, in terms of operation methods alone, there is not much difference between a two-seater and a single-seater.
This is a two-seat fighter with a training function.
Not every two-seat fighter has a training function. Whether it has a training function depends on whether there is a control system in the rear cabin.
Like Feibao, this two-seat fighter has no control system in the rear cabin. The responsibility of the rear cabin pilot is to control weapons, also called weapons operators.
The two-seater version of the J-11 has a control system in the rear cabin, and both the front and rear cabins can control the fighter, so it has a training function.
The same is true for the two-seat version of the J-15. It is a multi-purpose two-seat fighter. It can basically be said to be the carrier-based model corresponding to the Su-30.
However, when Li Hai had an in-depth understanding of the J-15, he was surprised to find that it was a brand-new fighter. The so-called brand-new means that except for the appearance and flight control, the entire avionics system is completely different from the J-10. Five.
When he learned that the J-15 Shuang's avionics system used a lot of fourth-generation aircraft technology, a new fighter came to his mind, which can be said to be the twin brother of the J-15-Shuang.
It is the J-16 just equipped by the Air Force.
Yi Xiaoyi, the chief engineer of the J-15 double project, invited Li Hai and Dang Weimin to dinner. They had a private room in the small restaurant of the guest house in the evening and prepared seafood from the Bohai Sea. It was very grand.
Yi Xiaoyi opened a bottle of Wuliangye and said to Li Hai and Dang Weimin who were sitting down, "Comrade Li Hai, Comrade Dang Weimin, I have wronged you these past few days. I have asked you to take a three-day break starting tomorrow. Let’s have some drinks tonight.”
Li Hai and Dang Weimin are both greedy for alcohol. Firstly, they rarely drink alcohol due to work reasons, and secondly, they don't have the conditions.
Alcohol is not sold in the army, and you can't bring it back if you buy it when you go out. Even if you want to drink some secretly, you can't do it.
After arriving in Shen Hoi, the environment became more relaxed, but the requirements for test flight work became more stringent, and they did not dare to break the rules.
Now the project chief engineer is inviting me to drink. I must drink some.
Li Hai smiled and said, "Mr. Yi, you and my master are old friends. There is no need to be so polite between us. If you have any orders, just tell us directly."
There is no such thing as Wuliangye for no reason!
Yi Xiaoyi smiled and waved his hand, "Let's drink first. Seafood with white wine is a must-have. The Bohai Sea is about to freeze. If you want to eat fresh food in the next two months, you have to eat seafood from the South China Sea flown over. "
Li Hai was not polite. He grabbed a big crab and peeled it skillfully. Dang Weimin grabbed a lobster and broke it while saying, "Mr. Yi, it seems that the Bohai Sea doesn't produce lobsters, right?"
"Some, of course, are all cultured in sea water. The natural ones are rare and I can't afford them." Yi Xiaoyi picked up the wine glass and started drinking.
I've been craving it for months, and it's a rare opportunity to have a drink. When I was in school, several comrades went out together in casual clothes to sing and drink some beer at a mass-market KTV. They were not allowed to drink too much. When they came back, they had to carefully avoid the school pickets. If they smelled alcohol, they would throw it into the solitary room.
After joining the army, because he was a new recruit, he didn't dare to go too far. Over the past two years, the total vacation time has been less than one month.
There is almost no time for oneself, and there are naturally fewer opportunities to drink.
The environment in the factory is much more relaxed than that in the army, even though it is a military factory.
There is a Military Representative Office in the factory, but they are not under the control of the Military Representative Office. The combat troops and the Military Representative Office belong to two systems, each with its own organizational leadership system.
In other words, Li Hai and Dang Weimin were let go, all because of their self-consciousness.
After three rounds of drinking, most of the bottle of Wuliangye was consumed.
Yi Xiaoyi was secretly speechless, these two new recruits were so good at drinking, so he quickly asked for another bottle.
When the second bottle of wine came, Li Hai smiled and said, "General Manager Yi, if you need our help with anything, just ask."
Yi Xiaoyi didn't hesitate anymore. If he didn't talk about business anymore, looking at the way they were drinking, one more bottle wouldn't be enough. More than a thousand bottles is too much for the chief engineer to bear.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Dang, the situation is like this." Yi Xiaoyi sighed lightly and said, "Project No. 15B is progressing slowly. You have some understanding of the reason. The key technology is unstable. The fundamental reason is that we are not qualified enough." The pilots have conducted a large number of all-terrain and all-climate test flights. Without test flights, there will be no data. Without data, we scientific researchers are too clever to make a meal without rice."
Dang Weimin said, "General Manager Yi, we only have a little more experience than the new pilots. Of course, Lao Li has more flying hours and rich experience in handling dangerous situations. It is no problem to do a test flight. But for It’s not our turn to get the key test flight data for project research and development, right?”
Yi Xiaoyi smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Dang, you are underestimating yourself. Don't you know that those who can work as test pilots with us are either senior pilots specially hired by our factory and must have been trained in the flight test academy. Yes, or a pilot recommended by the army."
"You can come here to be test pilots. Don't you think that your superiors just find a place to arrange for you two outstanding pilots who have no flying missions for the time being?"
Li Hai was stunned, looked at each other with Dang Weimin, and thought about it carefully, it was really like this.
Test flight is such an important job, can it be arranged casually?
"Mr. Yi, you've confused me. Are you inviting us to dinner tonight so that we can try our best to test the flight? But without the second crew, we can't go up." Li Hai said.
Yi Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Yes, test flights are not allowed without a backup crew."
"But." He changed the topic and said, "This is a test flight regulation in the factory. If it is a test flight in a wild environment, we do not have this regulation."
Li Hai somewhat understood.
Yi Xiaoyi said bluntly, "We seriously lack flight data in the high-altitude environment. When the factory test flight cannot be carried out, the superiors decided to advance the test flight in the high-altitude environment. Are you interested?"
"So interested!" Dang Weimin blurted out.
I've been holding myself back for a while.
Li Hai asked, "Is it the Tanggula Mountains or the Beiku Mountains?"
"Do both. The training airport is between the two."
Four words appeared in front of Li Hai's eyes - Wakhan Corridor!
"Chief Engineer Yi, does the high altitude environment test flight include the actual combat performance test flight?" Li Hai asked again.
Yi Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "It is still confidential information. You will know it when we get there. As far as the No. 15B project is concerned, it has also entered the first round of actual combat performance test flight stage, and the second round is It will be delivered to the flight test institute and the army for joint development, and our manufacturer will be responsible for the first round."
"Yes, I understand." Li Hai nodded slightly.
He doesn't want to go back to the Musa Naval Training Station at all now. There is no fun in the Wakhan Corridor over there!
