Chapter 203, The Experiment Begins
In Yanliang District of Xijing, there is the Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd. factory that produces the Kun 20 and H6k, so there is always the roar of large planes flying over her sky.
Many people have only seen "Kun 20" and "H6k" on the Internet and in short videos, and they think that it's nothing special, especially since the "H6k" is so old, how can it work?
However, when an "H6k" flew low over the sky of Yanliang with its clear and surging engine sound, standing under it and looking up at it, the shock of seeing it with your own eyes was truly beyond words!
That "Sixth Master" is really handsome!
If you are lucky, when driving past the Yanliang section of the Beijing-Kunming Expressway, you will see a huge "Kun-20" flying from the horizon and slowing down to land.
The gray-black "H-20" flying in the air brought with it a sense of oppression like a huge whale tumbling in the deep sea - vast, quiet, and very shocking!
Today, there has been no sound of airplanes in the sky of Yanliang all day long. The entire sky is waiting for this special test flight after dark.
It finally got dark.
As a number of Hongqi cars with white license plates drove into the Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's test flight airport, a Kun-20 was finally slowly pushed out and stopped on the airport runway.
This Kun-20 has been waiting for a day to be prepared.
There were no flight plans at the airport all day today, and even after dark, air traffic control was implemented over the airspace above Xijing City.
Now, the entire sky is waiting for its test flight.
"So beautiful!"
The Hongqi car that Jiang Hao was riding in stopped next to the Kun-20 aircraft. Jiang Hao got out of the Hongqi car, looked up at this behemoth, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Big" really has a very unique beauty, it is beautiful just where it is.
Jiang Hao stroked the body of the phone carefully and with great enjoyment, as if he was touching a peerless beauty.
The appearance of this Kun-20 does not seem to be very special, but its internal cabin has been modified:
The front part of the cabin is a compact laboratory for collecting and processing experimental data;
At the rear of the cabin is a 12*12 drone "hive" that looks like a rocket launch nest. Now each of these hives contains a "fruit candy military drone" on standby.
Jiang Hao got out of the car and walked into the cabin. He curiously looked into the dark "honeycomb". It was pitch black inside and he could not see anything. He could only see a matte drone head.
The drone is not big, probably only the size of a pigeon, but the drone hive is quite large.
Jiang Hao is still very concerned about this "Beehive Project".
The drone itself is not much different from the rest of the drones in this project. It looks like an ordinary drone, but the entire "Honeycomb Project" drone runs a completely different flight control program based on the "Jiang Hao Computer Language".
The success of this project means the success of "Jiang Hao Computer Language" and the success of a new software running logic under this new language.
So Jiang Hao is also quite nervous about this project.
Before this, Jiang Hao had only played with a single "fruit candy drone" that flew along with a vehicle. He had never come across such a large-scale military application.
Jiang Hao has been paying close attention to Zhong Zefei's "Beehive Project" and his signature was on the establishment of this project.
When the project was in progress, Zhong Zefei also visited Jiang Hao from time to time, and Jiang Hao also gave him some academic assistance.
Now that he is going to accept the project himself, Jiang Hao is actually a little excited, and also a little selfish - no matter what the results of the test flight are, he will definitely sign the project acceptance report.
"teacher!"
Looking at Jiang Hao looking around, Zhong Zefei, the host of the "Beehive Project", called him "Teacher" enthusiastically.
Previously, the members of the "Air Research Group 106" all called Jiang Hao "Team Leader", but now, with the knowledge they learned in the "Air Research Group 106" blossoming in their own fields and becoming the mainstay leaders in their fields, when they see Jiang Hao again, they always respectfully call him "Teacher". Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed at first to be called "Teacher" by these experts and scholars who are much older than him, but now he is not used to it.
Jiang Hao imitated the behavior of a big shot, patted Zhong Zefei on the shoulder with a smile and said thank you for his hard work.
"take off!"
As the take-off order was issued from the tower, the Kun-20 pushed out on the runway, accelerated rapidly, and disappeared into the dark sky.
"I really want to do random experimental observations on the project together. I haven't done the Kun-20 yet."
Looking at the Kun-20 disappearing into the darkness, Jiang Hao sighed with regret.
The project leader, Zhong Zefei, brought his team on the plane. Jiang Hao really wanted to take a ride on the Kun-20, but now Jiang Hao was not the project leader, but an expert judge.
"Hahaha." Academician Tang, chief designer of Kun-20, who was standing next to Jiang Hao, smiled. Seeing Jiang Hao's regretful look, he felt that this was what a young man was like, wanting to try everything.
Academician Tang smiled and said to Jiang Hao: "Remember the last time you were at Chengfei, that crazy test pilot took you on a Zhan-16S."
"The higher-ups were very unhappy about this. If the test pilot wasn't so capable and talented, he would have been punished."
"Besides, you are now much more important than before, so Xifei will never allow you to act willfully."
Jiang Hao smiled. Although the brigade commander and the test pilot who took Jiang Hao to experience the fighter jet were punished, the punishment was completely "highly praised and lightly delivered". Moreover, because of Jiang Hao's plea and with the help of Jiang Hao's resources, both of them had a brighter future.
But now, no leader or test pilot dares to take Jiang Hao into the sky again.
After Jiang Hao demonstrated unprecedented value, his safety was of absolute priority. Before Jiang Hao came to Xifei, the relevant military department issued a stern warning that Jiang Hao was not allowed to experience any dangerous projects.
Therefore, Jiang Hao didn't even have to think about flying a circle on the Kun-20.
After flying for a few minutes, the Kun-20 took off, flew over the urban area of Xijing City, and began to hover over the dark Qinling Mountains.
In the compact little laboratory at the front of the cabin, Zhong Zefei, the leader of the "Beehive Project", and his team carefully completed the final experimental checks.
After a simple command communication, the cabin of Kun-20 opened, strong winds rushed into the cabin, and a "12*12" drone "Beehive" loaded in the cabin began to activate.
"Swish swish~"
Immediately afterwards, a dense swarm of "drones" popped out from the "beehive", flew out of the cabin of the Kun-20, and disappeared into the dark night sky.
The plane has taken off. The quiet and empty airport is boring. Jiang Hao sits on a chair, staring quietly at the real-time positioning of the Kun-20 on the big screen.
"Commander, the experiment has begun!"
When the experiment started, countless positioning points appeared on the entire large screen, which meant that the drones released by Kun-20 began to transmit data back.
"The data is transmitted normally!"
"The fleet is deployed normally!"
As reports came in one after another, the atmosphere in the tower became more solemn, and everyone was staring at the large flight control screen.
