#350 - Chapter 350 Chief Engineer? Or General? Shocking! Let me test fly!
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The sedan that picked him up last night drove into the countryside.
After passing through a roadblock, several military jeeps appeared, surrounding the sedan in the middle.
There were numerous checkpoints along the way, all manned by armed soldiers.
Finally.
A group of buildings came into view.
"General, where is this?" Zhang Zhong asked in a low voice.
"A test flight base," Chen Hao answered.
"Shen Fei?"
"That's right."
Receiving a definite answer, Zhang Zhong vaguely guessed something: "Could it be… a new air force equipment test flight?!"
Chen Hao smiled: "You'll know in a moment."
The sedan stopped.
Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood: "Yes!"
Chen Hao's military status has always been kept secret.
Except for the overseas legions, very few people within the Huaxia military knew about it.
"Salute!"
Zhang Zhong immediately saluted after getting out of the car.
After returning the salute, General Wang hurriedly walked towards Chen Hao: "Little Chen! Quick… come with me!"
What the hell?
A group of senior officers were dumbfounded.
Who is this young man?
General Wang, with such a high status, was actually so affectionate towards him, even linking arms!
"In front!"
Ignoring the others, General Wang pulled Chen Hao and walked quickly: "In the hangar!"
…
Ten minutes later.
Bang!
The heavily guarded hangar door opened.
Pulled by General Wang, Chen Hao was the first to walk in.
Suddenly!
A fighter jet came into view!
It was the J-20C!
"Chief Chen!"
Besides the fighter jet, there was also a group of people in the hangar, all old acquaintances.
Zhang Enhe said excitedly, "We didn't fail our mission, we didn't let you down!"
According to Chen Hao's initial idea.
Limited by various factors, the team led by Institute 606 developed a stripped-down version of the J-20C.
It was expected to be completed at the beginning of the year to deal with the South China Sea crisis.
As a result, due to a series of factors, an electronic warfare pod was developed.
In a short period of time, the airspace security was guaranteed, and with the establishment of Handing Materials, there were no more problems with the new materials.
Simply!
Develop a complete version of the J-20C.
On this day in May, the prototype was finally completed!
"We wanted to tell you as soon as it was completed."
Li Zhiguang smiled and said, "After General Wang found out, he specifically instructed us to keep it a secret. Anyway, it's only a few days apart. He said he would give you a surprise when the test flight!"
"Chief Chen, we are personally responsible for the final inspection before the test flight," Song Wencong said in a deep voice.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Chen Hao nodded: "Let's test fly it first!"
The officers and generals following behind all showed expressions of disbelief.
Li Zhiguang.
Zhang Enhe.
Song Wencong.
Who are these people?
The core leaders of the new fighter jet development team!
They…
Actually respect the young man so much?
Even using honorifics?!
On the other side.
Zhang Zhong, who came in a step later, was stunned the moment he saw the new fighter jet.
"This… this…" He pointed at the fighter jet, his fingers trembling.
He had seen this fighter jet before!
Back then, Chen Hao took out a few renderings and asked him how to fool foreigners if it was Huaxia's equipment.
Zhang Zhong thought that the equipment was a futuristic fantasy image from some military magazine.
Until this moment…
It's not a fantasy!
It really exists!
"Isn't it a surprise? Isn't it unexpected?" Chen Hao smiled strangely.
"…" Zhang Zhong's lips trembled.
"What kind of plane is this?" Chen Hao asked again.
"Jian… Jian 10 modified…"
"That's right!"
Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction.
…
"General Wang, let's test fly it first?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"Okay!"
General Wang nodded, pointing to a Colonel and introducing him to Chen Hao: "Lei Qiang…"
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
Before, when the generals were walking in front, he didn't pay attention to the people behind.
Lei Qiang!
How could he not know him?
Huaxia's number one test pilot!
Three years ago, when the J-10 took off for the first time, he was responsible for the test flight.
Test pilot.
A person dancing on the tip of a knife: All new fighter jets, after completing the prototype development, must be constantly tested by test pilots, challenging their designed performance limits, and finding the shortcomings of the fighter jets for improvement.
If it is said that pilots are a high-risk industry, the danger of test pilots…
Far above pilots!
A brand new fighter jet has never taken off before, and God knows if there are any flaws? Will it suddenly fall down?
For the development of the motherland's aviation industry, they put their heads on their waistbands.
Facing death!
"Comrade Lei Qiang."
After General Wang finished introducing him, Chen Hao's next words frightened everyone: "You will be my deputy, recording relevant data, and I will fly it."
What?!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Chief Chen, absolutely not!"
Li Zhiguang, with a head of white hair, directly grabbed his arm: "You are a scientist, not a test pilot!"
As the father of aero engines, there are very few people he admires.
Chen Hao is not only among them.
In his mind, he is more like the God of Science!
"You are the backbone of Huaxia's science. If anything happens to you… what will Huaxia do?!" Zhang Enhe said anxiously.
"Little Chen!"
General Wang's face turned pale with fright: "I don't agree!"
If anything happens to Chen Hao, Huaxia's rejuvenation will become empty talk!
His life is tied to the future of Huaxia!
How can he take risks?
"It was all developed according to the technology I gave, right?" Chen Hao looked at Zhang Enhe.
"Of course! Not a single mistake!" The latter nodded solemnly.
"There are no problems with the technical indicators?"
"I guarantee it with my life!"
"That's fine then."
Chen Hao smiled faintly, and looked at General Wang: "I said that this fighter jet does not need to be test-flown, as long as it is developed, it can be mass-produced—I know this fighter jet better than any test pilot."
"No matter what you say, it's not okay!" General Wang's attitude was tough.
"Only I can test fly it, can I fully demonstrate the performance of this fighter jet."
"I said no!"
Other things can be discussed.
This matter.
There is no room for discussion!
"We're on the same level."
There was no other way!
Chen Hao didn't want to reveal it, but General Wang wouldn't let go: "You can't order me."
What?!
The officers and generals were dumbfounded.
From the previous conversations, they all heard that this young man is…
The chief designer of the new fighter jet!
This was already shocking, and if the R\u0026D team wasn't all there, they wouldn't dare to believe it.
What's the situation now?
The young man claims…
To be on the same level as General Wang?!
"Someone!"
Ignoring these things, General Wang ordered the guard: "Watch General Chen and don't allow him to…"
Same level?
That won't do either!
He would rather be punished, at worst, he would tie up Chen Hao and never let him test fly!
"General!"
At this critical moment.
A middle-aged man walked quickly.
He wasn't wearing a military uniform, but General Wang was very polite: "Secretary Liu, why are you here?"
"Letter of commendation!"
Secretary Liu walked quickly towards Chen Hao.
His face was full of respect: "General Chen, this is for you."
He didn't read out the contents in public.
He handed over the letter of commendation, his tone very respectful: "I won't disturb you anymore."
After speaking.
He took the black briefcase from the hands of the accompanying staff and handed it to Chen Hao together.
Chen Hao opened the letter of commendation and took a look.
He grinned.
