When the experts and professors who had already boarded the plane heard that the plane could not take off, they were stunned.
Many of them were experts in aircraft design themselves. After learning the truth of the matter, they were all frightened into a cold sweat.
Compared to Nie Nansun, who only had a superficial understanding of aircraft, they were more professional and understood the impact of icing on aircraft.
Although not every icing aircraft will crash, taking off with ice will greatly increase the risk of flight, so many foreign countries have strict requirements in this regard.
For example, Appendix C of the Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration's airworthiness regulations has strict regulations on aircraft icing airworthiness regulations.
The evaluation of aircraft aerodynamic characteristics after natural icing was once the last "stumbling block" in the journey of aircraft airworthiness certification, which shows how much foreign countries attach great importance to this.
Subsequently, several experts and professors also inspected the ice on the wings and tail of the aircraft, and finally concluded that the aircraft was indeed not suitable for takeoff.
If it is forced to take off, there is a risk of a crash.
Even after de-icing, the aircraft must be completely inspected and evaluated before it can be launched into the air to perform the mission.
In view of this, Nie Nansun could only report the situation to the military and request the Saibei Province Military Region to transfer another aircraft.
But the reply from the Provincial Military Region is that the Provincial Military Region currently only has 4 IL-14Ms, and the closest one to Qingcheng is the Zhaowuda area, a thousand kilometers away, so it is impossible to get back in a short time.
After some discussions, the Provincial Military Region decided to dispatch two Y-5 aircraft to send them to the northwest.
Compared with the IL-14, the Y-5 has older technology, smaller capacity, and worse internal conditions.
But this was the only solution the Provincial Military Region could think of. In desperation, Nie Nansun and others could only accept this situation.
After a lot of twists and turns, Zhou Yang and others finally boarded the Y-5 plane and rushed to the northwest!
To be honest, the technology and performance of the Yun-5 are really worrying, especially the interior of the cabin, which is hard to describe.
The narrow benches and loud noise tortured all the experts and professors, including Zhou Yang.
Qiyun 5 is a real troop transport aircraft, and the pilots are also soldiers. They are not gentle at all when flying the aircraft. The aircraft they drove directly gave the feeling of a mountain bike.
In this case, many people vomited as soon as they got on the plane.
That scene is simply impossible to watch...
After a long flight of more than four hours, the plane finally arrived at a secret military base in the hinterland of Gansu Province at around 12 noon.
After getting off the plane, almost everyone looked pale and walked swaying, as if they were exhausted.
The same goes for Zhou Yang, good guy, it’s so torturous!
Nie Nansun asked everyone to slow down on the spot, and then under the arrangements of the reception staff, they came to the internal guest house of the base.
After settling their luggage, everyone immediately followed the receptionist to the canteen for dinner.
But because the journey was so uncomfortable, everyone had no appetite. After a simple bite, they all went back to the house to rest.
After all, there is a scheduling meeting in the afternoon, and everyone has to attend. It’s not okay in this state!
All in all, I suffered so much along the way that it’s hard to describe in words.
But what they didn't know was that because of Zhou Yang's appearance, most of them escaped. They were extremely lucky, but this luck did not benefit everyone...
.......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after a brief rest, Zhou Yang was called up by Zheng Aiguo.
Then he followed everyone to the conference room of the base to participate in the meeting.
However, as soon as he arrived at the conference room, Zhou Yang saw Nie Nansun walking towards him.
"Zhou Yang, come out!"
"good!"
He followed Nie Nansun to the outside of the conference room and stopped by a relatively quiet window.
At this time, Zhou Yang saw that Nie Nansun's face was very ugly, and immediately asked: "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?"
Nie Nansun was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said something that made Zhou Yang tremble: "The plane crashed!"
"What?"
"The Il-14m aircraft we replaced this morning crashed!"
Zhou Yang said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Before we left, didn't we tell them to inspect the plane before flying it? How could it still crash?"
"After we left, the pilot de-iced the aircraft and was preparing to go to the repair shop for maintenance when a new task was issued from the Provincial Military Region."
Then Nie Nansun said again: "After assessment, the pilot thought there would be no problem, so he took off forcefully. However, after takeoff, the plane lost control and finally crashed into the ground. It was initially determined that the cause of the accident was a malfunction in the de-icing system, causing the plane to Icing occurred during the flight and eventually the plane crashed and everyone died!"
While saying these words, Nie Nansun also felt a chill running down his spine.
Fortunately, I brought Zhou Yang with me today. Otherwise, given how anxious they were to take off at the time, I'm afraid...
After hearing the news, Zhou Yang was quite angry and said angrily: "The Provincial Military Region is really too careless. How can such a thing be left to chance?"
"Um!"
"Are there many casualties?"
"It's okay, I just have to pity the three crew members, none of them were spared, they were all killed!" Nie Nansun said.
"well..."
Zhou Yang sighed deeply, and then said nothing.
He was really speechless about this matter. He had already reminded them, so why didn't they listen?
Zhou Yang also knew that although this kind of thing was caused by the pilot's carelessness, the more important reason was poverty.
At present, there are too few transport aircraft available in the country. Except for the few IL-14s and 14Ms, there are only Y-5s and some C46s and C47s produced during World War II.
C46 and C47 have been in service for decades. They are already in dilapidated condition and are about to be retired.
The Y-5 is indeed too small as a transport aircraft, with a payload of only 1.5 tons. It can only transport a dozen people, and its transport capacity is less than that of a truck.
Under such circumstances, the IL-14 has become the main aircraft for domestic military and civilian transportation. Even if it knows that there may be hidden dangers, it has to take off.
It's like drinking poison to quench thirst. You know it's poisonous, but you can't stop drinking it!
Zhou Yang couldn't help but think of the sentence in the movie "The God of Medicine", there is only one disease in the world - the disease of poverty!
Nowadays, not only the people are poor, the country is also poor, and the army is even more stretched.
Therefore, Zhou Yang deeply realized that if he wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops, he could not rely only on a few advanced weapons and equipment. The most fundamental thing was to make the country rich.
Of course, that was beyond Zhou Yang's ability, and it was not his task.
But he can still get some military expenditures for the troops and some scientific research funds for scientific research institutions.
After all, the sickle in his hand has already been swung, and it depends on how much profit he can make by the end of the year.
Nie Nansun also sighed when he saw Zhou Yang's silent expression.
Then he patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, let's have a meeting!"
"Um!"
Then the two returned to the conference room again, waiting for the next meeting!
