Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Kongliuyuan. Aircraft assembly workshop!

When Zhou Yang stood in the workshop and looked at the strange yet familiar aircraft in front of him, he felt mixed emotions in his heart and tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.

This aircraft is unfamiliar because it is indeed the first time for Zhou Yang to see this aircraft in his life, and every screw is new.

It was said to be familiar because Zhou Yang had seen it in his previous life and personally participated in the development of this early warning aircraft.

In order to develop this early warning aircraft, more than 300 experts and key technicians were mobilized from across the country. In addition, tens of thousands of researchers from more than 600 units worked together to develop the aircraft. At that time, Zhou Yang was the designer of the aircraft's radar system. General person in charge.

He clearly remembered that the test site at that time was not the base of Kongliuyuan, but a test site in the vast Gobi desert. In summer, the temperature there could reach more than 40 degrees Celsius, and in winter it could also reach minus degrees Celsius. The conditions were very hard.

But even so, no one in the entire team complains about being tired. Everyone is working hard. In order to catch up with the progress, most people often work overtime until early in the morning. Many people have not celebrated a Spring Festival for five consecutive years. They are all experimenting. Those who spent the field with the troops included Zhou Yang himself.

Many people are suffering from various diseases. Zhou Yang still remembers his deputy Yang Mo. The 36-year-old led the staff to work day and night and forget about food and sleep to solve technical problems one after another for the project.

A few years later, when the aircraft was successfully developed, her black hair turned gray and she aged twenty years.

There is also Yan Pengju, the person in charge of the aircraft's stability system. He was suddenly diagnosed with cancer at the most critical moment of the project. But he still focused on work, and he had to undergo chemotherapy treatment only when he couldn't stand it any longer.

But even though her body was extremely weak and all her hair had fallen out, she could not let go of her job and asked again and again to return to work.

Sadly, after experiencing countless comas, she never woke up and left the early warning aircraft career that she cherished forever.

It can be said that the early warning aircraft in front of us is not only the result of Air Force 6 and their 18th Research Institute, it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of countless researchers from another time and space. This is an aircraft from tens of thousands of researchers. The "fighting machine" that takes off on the shoulders.

Seeing this plane again, Zhou Yang thought of his colleagues and comrades in his previous life, and also of himself in his previous life...

On the side, looking at Zhou Yang with tears streaming down his face, Huang Yalou, Guo Yamin, Zheng Aiguo and others did not disturb him or laugh at him.

As a scientific researcher, they understood Zhou Yang's mood at this time very well.

Ordinary people may only feel the excitement of having worked hard for countless years and finally getting what they wanted, when they marry a wife and have children, and it may not be so intense.

After a while, Zhou Yang finally calmed down.

He turned around and looked at everyone, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Guo, and Mr. Zheng were too excited just now and lost control of their emotions. Please don't take offense!"

Huang Yalou smiled and said: "Understood. When we saw this early warning aircraft take off smoothly for the first time, we all cried like a baby. This is considered a good thing for you!"

Guo Yamin is also a person of temperament. He took over the conversation and said: "It doesn't matter if you shed a few tears when the project progresses. Those who have never cried are incompetent. Whoever participates in a large-scale project has never cried!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the group of young people behind could not help but twitch.

Good guy, this is a big blow!

Zhou Yang was already used to his teacher's straightforward way of speaking. When he said this, he felt better for some reason.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "Mr. Huang, can I board the plane now?"

"can!"

At that moment, under Huang Yalou's order, the crew on the side immediately opened the plane door.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang took the lead and immediately boarded the plane.

The layout inside the plane was completely based on the drawings he gave. Although the space seemed a bit small, Zhou Yang felt unusually familiar.

After observing for a while, Zhou Yang said to Huang Yalou: "Huang, I want to start the plane and see where the problem lies!"

"Row!"

Then, Huang Yalou ordered the crew to board the plane immediately to cooperate with Zhou Yang.

Soon, more than a dozen crew members were all on board and in place, and even the pilot took his seat in the cab.

At this time, an officer shouted to Zhou Yang: "Report to the commander, all Falcon 1 crew members are in place. Please give instructions, commander Ma Wenbo!"

Zhou Yang immediately ordered: "Turn on the radar and avionics system immediately!"

"Yes!"

Following Ma Wenbo's order, the crew quickly took action. All buttons and switches on the early warning aircraft were turned on one after another, and various red and green lights flashed instantly inside the originally dark cabin.

As the radar was turned on, there were bursts of noise outside the cabin, but it was not very loud.

Zhou Yang carefully observed the operation of various systems in the cabin. Overall, it was pretty good and no problems were found.

However, he knew that this was only a superficial phenomenon. Problems such as electromagnetic incompatibility are usually only visible or manifested when the operating power of each system of the aircraft reaches a certain level.

"Turn up the radar's power to maximum!"

Following Zhou Yang's order, the power of the radar on the early warning aircraft was directly adjusted to the maximum, and the noise instantly became much louder.

Hearing these noises, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown. This early warning aircraft in the previous life used special noise reduction technology and made very little noise.

But at present, this aircraft obviously still has problems with noise reduction, which has a significant impact on the aircraft's detection of targets and the physical and mental health of the crew.

At that moment, Zhou Yang took out paper and pen and wrote down this question directly.

However, shortly after the radar power was adjusted to the maximum, the avionics system made a rapid beeping sound.

When Zhou Yang walked over to check, the voice disappeared again.

After testing several times in a row, Zhou Yang discovered where the problem lay.

As he expected, this is because the power of the radar installed on the early warning fuselage is too huge. When the radar is running, the power of radio waves emitted can reach tens to hundreds of kilowatts. These radio waves will be transmitted to other equipment inside the fuselage of the early warning aircraft. Generate current and interfere with the operation of other equipment in the early warning aircraft.

In particular, it will have the greatest impact on communication command and navigation equipment. If it is serious, electromagnetic compatibility problems will not only make it impossible for early warning aircraft to fight, but even make it impossible to fly safely.

At the moment, Zhou Yang recorded this issue again.

For the next more than two hours, Zhou Yang stayed on the plane, testing every system function on the plane and comparing it with the early warning aircraft in his previous life.

Soon, he discovered several less obvious problems and marked them one by one, until Huang Yalou called him to eat!

After getting off the plane, everyone immediately gathered around.

Then, Huang Yalou looked at Zhou Yang expectantly and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, now that you have seen it on the plane, what do you think of the overall performance of this early warning aircraft?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yang fell silent for a moment.

Looking at his expression, Huang Yalou and others' hearts suddenly sank.

At this time, Guo Yamin took over the conversation and said, "Why don't you say anything anymore? If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it won't work. There's nothing bad to say!"

After a long time, Zhou Yang finally said: "It's not satisfactory!"

"What does it mean to be unsatisfactory? Please explain clearly what the difference is!" Guo Yamin said.

"In addition to electromagnetic incompatibility, aircraft also have a series of problems such as excessive noise, slow computer speed, and need to improve stability."

Then Zhou Yang continued: "Although these problems do not have much impact on the safety of the AWACS, they will affect the combat performance of the aircraft. If these problems are solved, the performance of the AWACS can be improved by at least 30%!"

Hearing this, Huang Yalou sighed and said, "We knew more or less about the problems you mentioned when we were testing the aircraft."

"But the most important thing right now is how to solve the problem of electromagnetic compatibility. This is a big problem. If you are not careful, it will affect the safety of the aircraft..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yang said in an astonishing voice: "I can solve this problem!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded instantly...
