Chapter 435 Make All Missiles Unemployed
"Mr. Lin, could it be that our first improved Wyvern will roll off the assembly line?"

Lin Feng said, "Director Xie, you guessed it right, it seems that you have been paying close attention to the final assembly and production of our improved Wyvern fighter."

Xie Kangquan said, "It's not just me who is paying close attention to it, many people above are paying attention to it."

The "Flying Dragon" fighter is already very good. Now that it is replaced with a hydrogen engine, everyone is looking forward to what kind of height its overall performance has reached.

Lin Feng said, "Our first improved Wyvern will roll off the production line tomorrow morning, and we plan to make its first flight right away. Would you like to come over and have a look?"

"Really, the speed is so fast, the first one is off the production line, so I must come and have a look." Xie Kangquan's tone was clearly full of surprise.

The two chatted on the phone for a while, and the matter was settled.

The next day.

Lin Feng first took a helicopter to Jianghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company, walked into the first assembly workshop, and immediately saw the Dragon fighter that was about to roll off the assembly line.

Its assembly is complete and several quality inspectors are giving it a final check before it rolls off the assembly line.

"Mr. Lin, hello!"

"Hi boss!"

Seeing Lin Feng coming, everyone greeted them proactively, and the head of the aircraft manufacturing company even introduced, "Boss, after some inspections, our first improved Wyvern will be ready to roll off the production line, and the first flight has been arranged. Scheduled for eleven o'clock in the morning..."

Lin Feng looked around the plane while listening to the report, very satisfied.

About one or two 10 minutes later, the inspection was completed, and a quality supervisor came to report, "Mr. Lin, the inspection is complete, and it is fully in line with the off-line standards. Please give instructions."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "The plane is off the assembly line and parked on the tarmac outside!"

"Ok."

The first "Flying Dragon" fighter rolled off the assembly line, and it was pulled out of the assembly workshop amidst warm applause.

Lin Feng said, "Let's go and have a look."

A circle of people crowded Lin Feng out of the No. [-] assembly workshop and arrived at the airport apron, where the "Flying Dragon" fighter jet was already parked.

In the final assembly workshop, because there are many things, it is far less empty than the outside. Lin Feng looked around the plane with great interest.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

After a while, two vehicles came from a distance and drove up to the "Flying Dragon" fighter plane. A lot of people got out of the vehicle, most of them were wearing military uniforms, including Xie Kangquan.

The military is here!

After getting out of the car, Xie Kangquan came over and shook hands with Lin Feng happily, "Mr. Lin, you have given us another huge surprise. The first improved Dragon fighter has rolled off the production line so soon."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Lin Feng said, "The first flight is planned to take place at eleven in the morning. I will show you the plane first."

The eyes of these people in the military have long been attracted by this Flying Dragon fighter plane, and some of them have even been compared in the center to see what is the difference between the improved Flying Dragon and the previous one.

At first glance, it seems that there is not much difference, but if you look closely, you can still see some changes.

Lin Feng personally introduced this Wyvern to everyone, as well as the changes and improvements after it was replaced with a hydrogen engine.

After a tour, the ground crew also got busy, and one of the important tasks was to add water to the plane.

The improved "Flying Dragon" fighter was replaced with a hydrogen engine, and the fuel tank was also greatly reduced. It only needs a capacity of a few hundred liters, and it can be filled up at once.

The water tank capacity of the improved "Flying Dragon" fighter is [-] liters, which is a lot less than the previous fuel tank of [-] liters.

One liter of water is equivalent to 24 liters of fuel, and the energy of [-] liters of water is equivalent to [-] liters of fuel.

At present, there is no fighter that can add 10,000+ liters of fuel. The [-] liters of water will allow the "Flying Dragon" fighter to have an ultra-long range, and can fly to any region of the world to fight.

The improved "Flying Dragon" fighter can make the aircraft carriers in the world unemployed, making them meaningless to exist.

After looking around this "Flying Dragon" fighter, Xie Kangquan was extremely satisfied, "Boss Lin, I really want to see its first flight."

In addition, someone from the military said, "Yes, after installing a hydrogen engine, it should be more powerful. We also want to see how it flies!"

"Mr. Lin, can you start the first flight earlier!"

"."

These representatives of the military said one thing to you, and one sentence to me, the expectations for this "Flying Dragon" are very high.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, raised his hand to look at the time, and said loudly, "Director Xie, the first flight will start on time at eleven in the morning. Now let's sit down and drink something, and then go to the flight control and command room. We will take a good look at it then." Check out the first flight."

Xie Kangquan readily agreed.

A group of people first went to the reception room of the aircraft manufacturing company to sit down, drink a cup of hot tea, chat for a while, and then walked into the flight control room about a few minutes before eleven o'clock in the morning.

This is actually the control tower of the airport, but it is different from the control tower of ordinary airports. It has a larger area and many more instruments and meters, almost all of which are used to test and track the flight status of aircraft.

During the test flight of the aircraft, various parameters will be reflected here, such as flight speed, altitude, orientation, and even the output power of the engine, the vibration of the aircraft and other parameters.

The tower is commanding and has a wide field of vision. Through the huge glass, the situation of the entire airport can be seen at a glance, and the Dragon fighter plane on the tarmac can be seen clearly without any obstruction.

It was a low-key first flight.

There were no guests who came to watch the first flight, let alone a sea of ​​people, only some employees of Leihuo Technology Industry Group and some people from the military.

Not even a media outlet, so low-key.

Lin Feng didn't plan to make a big splash. The "Flying Dragon" fighter made its first flight when it first came out, and hundreds of them have been produced so far. Now it's just an improved model, the aircraft's avionics system, weapon system, radar system, fire control system, etc. There are almost no changes, not even the appearance changes, but the power system has been redesigned, replacing the LH165 turbofan engine with a hydrogen engine.

From a high position, one can see through the glass that the pilot has already started boarding the plane, and he is already sitting in the cockpit. The fully transparent bubble-shaped glass hatch of the plane is slowly closing, and the relevant personnel are evacuating the plane.

The time quickly entered eleven o'clock in the morning.

The commander in charge of the first flight came to report, "Mr. Lin, everything is ready, whether to carry out the first flight!"

Lin Feng glanced at the time, and then said loudly, "Start the first flight verification!"

The order is issued!

The plane started, and the 10 megawatt hydrogen engine started to work. In everyone's eyes, the "Flying Dragon" fighter started to leave the ground, quickly lifted into the air, and then quickly moved away, disappearing from everyone's sight. middle.

It still takes off vertically.

It can be seen that its take-off speed is very fast, and the whole process is smooth and fast. Various data are displayed on the instruments and screens, and the technicians are all very excited when they see these data.

incredible!
After being replaced with a hydrogen engine, the aircraft is full of power and much faster than before.

People in the military seem to have seen this too.

"Wow, the speed just now was so fast!"

"In the blink of an eye, it flew out of our sight!"

"This is really awesome. Once we encounter any situation in the future, it means that our flying dragon fighter can take off quickly. This reaction speed is extremely surprising!"

"."

Of course, Lin Feng saw more things, and said with satisfaction in his heart, sure enough, our Wyvern fighter is even better after being replaced with a hydrogen engine. Can't keep up.

The plane flew out of everyone's field of vision all of a sudden, and everyone looked at the central display screen in the flight control room, which clearly displayed various data information such as the flight speed, altitude, and orientation of the plane.

"My God, breaking through the speed of sound so quickly!"

"The speed is increasing rapidly, and it has already broken through Mach [-]!"

"It's too fast, it will break through Mach [-] soon!"

"."

Seeing the flying speed of this plane, especially those in the military, were very pleasantly surprised. They deeply knew what such a flying speed meant.

Once there is a need, it not only means that this plane can quickly reach the relevant area, but also means that no plane can catch up with it, and it doesn't even have the part to eat exhaust gas behind it.

Xie Kangquan felt happy for a while. Seeing that the speed of the plane had been increasing rapidly, and there was no sign of stopping at all, he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lin, what is the cruising speed of our plane after replacing it with a hydrogen engine?" .”

Lin Feng said, "Theoretically, it is Mach 3.5. What is the actual value? It needs to be verified by this flight."

This is the first flight after the hydrogen engine is installed, and it is also a test flight verification. There are several items to be verified, including cruise speed verification, maximum flight speed verification, and [-]-kilometer flight verification.

The flight route was also designed in advance. After taking off from here, it flew all the way to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, arrived in the South Pacific Ocean, then flew over the southernmost tip of South America, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, entered the Indian Ocean, and flew across the entire Indian Ocean. Huaxia returned, with a flight distance of more than [-] kilometers.

This is not its farthest range. After filling 800 liters of water and flying at cruising speed, the theoretical maximum range is more than 6 kilometers, which can fly around the earth for about two weeks.

Today, the Flying Dragon is piloted by first-class pilot Xiong Yingwei. He has flown the fuel-powered 'Flying Dragon' many times before, and is one of the pilots who have been flying the Flying Dragon for the longest time.

He feels really cool today!
The previous 'Flying Dragon' fighter plane felt that the power was strong enough, but after replacing it with a hydrogen engine, he felt that the power had obviously risen to a higher level.

Although the entire cockpit has not changed at all, the operation is the same as before, and it still has super controllability, but it can feel that the power has been greatly improved. The biggest performance is to increase the throttle slightly, and the flight speed of the aircraft will be faster. rising.

The engine enters the rated power state, and the aircraft enters the cruising speed state. The instrument shows that the flight speed of the aircraft is Mach 3.52, which is basically close to the theoretical value.

After a while, the plane had already flown across the Miyako Strait and headed towards Hawaii. The speed has been stable at around Mach 3.5, and the flying altitude is 1 meters. The flight is fast and very stable.

Compared with ordinary fighters, the 'Flying Dragon' fighter has a certain stealth performance, but compared with real stealth aircraft, it is not so good, it should be between ordinary fighters and stealth fighters.

Soon, the radars of Japan and the beautiful country discovered the plane.

For example, in a base in the beautiful country, the large-scale ground radar first spotted the plane, and the radar soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reported the situation.

Several commanders from the base came over immediately. After seeing the plane's position, flight altitude and speed, they could only complain.

"Oh God, what is this thing, flying so fast!"

"It's been flying at Mach 3.5!"

"It can't be some new type of aircraft produced by Leihuo Technology Industry Group."

"Sir, should we notify the fighter plane to take off to intercept it?"

Hearing such a suggestion, the commander of the base glanced at the soldier who made the suggestion, his eyes seemed to say, are you an idiot? It flies so fast, no matter how you intercept it, even missiles can't catch up.

What is the concept of Mach 3.5!
Flying 1100 meters per second +, 4280 kilometers per hour +, such a fast speed, chasing a wool, what kind of aircraft can catch up, relying on F16 fighters, or F22 fighters, these aircrafts are probably not even qualified to eat exhaust gas behind .

The commander could only helplessly say, "Report the situation, it seems that it is headed in the direction of the Hawaii base."

Just after finishing speaking, another surprised voice sounded, "Look, its speed has begun to increase again, and it is estimated to be around Mach 4.7!"

At this time, Xiong Yinghua had received the order to start the verification of the maximum flight speed.

Theoretically, the maximum flying speed of this 'Flying Dragon' fighter is about Mach 4.7, whether it can reach this speed needs actual verification.

After receiving the instruction, Xiong Yinghua increased the throttle to the maximum, and the hydrogen engine entered the maximum power state. The speed of the aircraft quickly climbed from Mach 3.5, with a strong push back feeling, and the speed reached Mach 4.73 in just a few seconds.

This is the fastest flight speed of the aircraft!

In the flight control room, everyone cheered uncontrollably when they saw the data displayed on the screen, and everyone was excited, no matter if they were from Leihuo Technology Industry Group or the military.

"The speed has actually reached Mach 4.73. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I really can't believe it is true!"

"It's so awesome, any fighter in the world is far behind our flying dragon!"

"With this flying speed, you can fly to the mainland of the beautiful country in two hours!"

"At this speed, no missile can catch up, and all the missiles in the world will lose their jobs!"

"."

Although Xie Kangquan didn't cheer, the look of excitement on his face was obvious, and he even asked while he was happy.

"Mr. Lin, with such a fast flight speed, our Dragon fighter will not overheat."

Lin Feng understood what he meant, but replied affirmatively, "No, you don't have to worry about this problem at all."

We know that when meteorites enter the atmosphere, because the speed is too fast, friction with the air will generate high temperature. Xie Kangquan is worried about this.

Our "Flying Dragon" fighter does not have this kind of situation. The speed of meteorites entering the atmosphere is generally between 11 kilometers and 72 kilometers per second. The fastest flight speed of the "Flying Dragon" fighter is Mach 4.73, which is about 1.6 kilometers per second. About meters, far from reaching the speed of 11 kilometers per second.

In addition, this aspect has also been considered in the design, such as streamlined design, reducing air resistance and friction.

Hearing this, Xie Kangquan was completely relieved.

He was blindly confident towards Lin Feng. If Lin Feng said no, then there would definitely not be any problems in this regard.

The 'Flying Dragon' flew at the maximum speed for about 10 minutes, then slowed down slightly, entered the cruising speed and continued to fly, and when it was about [-] to [-] kilometers away from the Hawaiian Islands, it changed direction and flew towards the South Pacific.

It flies all the way quickly according to the scheduled flight route, will fly more than 5 kilometers, and the total flight time will reach more than ten hours.

For such a long flight, of course, the pilot does not need to operate it all the time. It can use the autopilot mode. No, shortly after flying over the Hawaiian Islands, Xiong Yinghua handed over the plane to the autopilot, and relaxed by the way.

There was also a small episode when the plane entered the Atlantic Ocean.

Three fighter jets are flying in formation, probably for daily formation flight training. It can be seen from the paint job of the fighter jets that they belong to the British Air Force.

"Oh, what is that, it's so fast!"

There was an exclamation in the radio headset, and several other pilots also noticed this situation. On the right side of their formation, a black dot was flying at a speed that they had never seen in their entire lives.

"Who knows what that is!"

"This speed is at least Mach three!"

"No, I think it's over Mach 3.5!"

"."

This is our "Flying Dragon" fighter plane, which is less than 1000 meters away from this formation. Xiong Yingwei glanced at those fighter planes and thought in his heart, will I scare them by flying like this.

It's just that the time is very short, all of a sudden, this flying dragon fighter plane quickly moved away, leaving these three fighter planes far behind.

late at night.

The general assembly plant of Shenhai Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is lit with this light, and there are also some lights on the airport, including some indicator lights, identification lights and so on.

The flight command room was brightly lit, and there were a large number of technicians here, including several senior executives of the aircraft manufacturing company.

At this time, the 'Flying Dragon' fighter plane was already returning home, and it would arrive at the airport in a few minutes, and then land here.

After a few minutes.

Someone saw the 'Dragon' fighter plane preparing to land with the naked eye, and shouted loudly, "Look, our Dragon fighter plane is back."

In the sky above the tarmac, several bright spots were flickering. It was the Wyvern fighter plane, which was preparing to land on the tarmac.
