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

Seeing Zhou Yang's hesitant expression, Huang Lao and Nie Nansun didn't understand what he meant.

But the more so, the more they want to know how Zhou Yang evaluates this fighter.

At that moment, Nie Nansun said directly: "What's wrong with you boy, you have a constipated expression, tell me if you have something to say!"

Elder Huang on the side also echoed, "Comrade Zhou Yang, don't feel burdened, just speak up if you have anything to say, after all, today we are here to find problems and find fault!"

Now that these two have already said so, Zhou Yang no longer hides it.

He straightened out his thoughts and said, "Then let me just talk about my own opinion. If there is something wrong, please correct me!"

"Say what you want, don't be sloppy!" Nie Nansun said.

"For an early warning aircraft, whether it can play an early warning role is the key, and everything else is secondary! We haven't personally tested the performance of the airborne radar yet, so we won't judge it for now!"

Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "However, based on what I have seen so far, this fighter is not advanced at all. First of all, this fighter is too old!"

"old?"

"Yes, this early warning aircraft is rebuilt from the Figure 4 bomber. Not only is the model old, but its performance is far from that of the large aircraft in the world today. It is really not a good choice to use it as an early warning aircraft platform!"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Lao nodded and said: "The bomber in Figure 4 is indeed an old comrade!"

"It's not just an old comrade, it's already an old thing!"

It is said that laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway.

Others just saw that the plane is big and domineering, but for Zhou Yang, the Figure 4 bomber is a bit too old.

This fighter is a large bomber made by the Maoxiong Alliance imitating the Jaeger B-29 bomber, and the history of the B-29 is even older, dating back to World War II three or 40 years ago. This bomber is the Jaeger in that A weapon specially tailored for small days during the period.

The design idea of ​​the B-29 bomber is very clear, that is, the bomb load, range, and speed indicators are as high as possible, and with the blessing of four high-power piston engines, the weight of the bomb it carries is a new world record at that time. Therefore, the B-4 bomber The -29 was given the nickname "Super Sky Fortress".

During World War II, this type of fighter plane was the best of the show. They formed a huge aviation formation, took off from the airport in Asan, passed through Rongcheng in our country to refuel, and drove straight to bomb the island country. What bombed the ironworks and "burned Tokyo", Even the last two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped by B-29 bombers.

During World War II, the total number of B-29 air raids reached 34790, and the total number of bombs and incendiary bombs dropped reached more than 170000 tons.

Because of the excellent performance of the B-29, the top executives of the Bear Alliance ordered to imitate this fighter.

Coincidentally, in July 1944, a B7 of the Zealot was wounded by the Japanese army and landed in Vladivostok, a city in the Far East of the Maoxiong Alliance. Su Maoxiong's military immediately detained the B29.

到了1944年11月，贼鹰又有2架B29迫降在毛熊联盟境内，意外得到3架B29的毛熊联盟如获至宝，迅速展开对B29的研究行动，于是就有了图4轰炸机。

In 1953, we introduced this fighter plane from the Bear Alliance, and it has been in service until now.

"Although the Figure 4 bomber has a longer service life, its performance is not bad!" Nie Nansun said.

"It's not bad. Although the 600-kilometer range is good, the farthest you can go is a little day, and it won't work any farther. Moreover, its speed is too slow. At a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour, once you meet From fighter jets, this is a live target!"

To be honest, Zhou Yang really doesn't like the Figure 4 bomber. You must know that the bombers in various countries have been updated several times, whether it is the Javelin 29 or the Bear Alliance's Figure 4. They have all retired.

Not to mention that the Jaeger is currently preparing to research the B2 bomber with stronger performance. The B1 bomber they have been in service for a long time can completely rub Figure 4 on the ground, and only we still take this thing as a treasure.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Nie Nansun immediately looked at the old man next to him and said, "Old Huang, don't you have other fighters, do you have to use this old fighter to transform?"

"Yes, but it's not suitable!"

Then the old man continued: "In the autumn of 1969, we received the order to develop the early warning aircraft. At that time, the Aviation Committee meant that the Sixth Academy, the Air Force One, the Air Force Two, and the Air Force No. [-] Factory were the main ones. Deploy personnel to develop the airborne early warning aircraft."

"Because there were very few large aircrafts at that time, the only available models were Il-18, Trident, Boeing 707, Viscount, Tu-104, Tu-4, etc. These aircraft were all products of Javelin or Maoxiong. At that time, we Relations with these countries are in a tense state, spare parts cannot be guaranteed during wartime, and the British-made "Viscount" aircraft has been discontinued."

"On the other hand, Tu-4 is the only machine that is in relatively good mechanical condition and can process parts. Therefore, based on the situation at that time, Tu-4 can only be used as the early warning aircraft platform!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang and Nie Nansun were also silent.

Yes, if there is a way, who would want to use such an old model, there is nothing to do.

After being silent for a while, Nie Nansun said again: "Zhou Yang, do you have any other flaws, please tell me what you have?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure yet. I'll talk to you two after I board the plane for a test!" Zhou Yang said.

"also..."

Just as he was speaking, the crowd watching the ceremony suddenly became excited, and the loud noise interrupted Zhou Yang's chat with Mr. Nie and Mr. Huang.

Looking up, I saw a huge plane in the air descending towards the ground, and the sound of a huge engine came from a long distance away.

Hearing the huge noise, Zhou Yang was also a little speechless. This is the problem with the Maoxiong Alliance's equipment.

The skin is solid, but the roughness is also really rough. From Figure 4 to Figure 95, the huge noise has not improved much.

The plane landed on the ground quickly, and as the cabin door slowly opened, the crew and other scientific researchers slowly got off the plane.

In an instant, there was thunderous applause at the scene!

The stability test of the aircraft was very successful, which was a good start for the overall performance test. It is no wonder that the staff on site were so excited.

But Zhou Yang was still as calm as before!

An early warning aircraft is not an ordinary combat aircraft. Its function is early warning. If the early warning performance is not up to standard, everything will be useless.

And "KongJing No. [-]" was precisely because of the ability of the airborne early warning radar, and the project was finally dismissed. Therefore, in Zhou Yang's view, the current applause is meaningless.

After the plane landed, the ground crew entered the field immediately to check the status of the fighter plane.

After confirming that the aircraft was in good condition, a group of test pilots was quickly replaced, and at the same time, an aviation brigade of the Northwest Military Region who cooperated with the test was notified to prepare for a radar performance test.

Since the radar performance is to be tested next, six radar avionics experts including Nie Nansun and Zhou Yang were instructed to board the plane immediately.

Zhou Yang and the others did not dare to neglect, and soon arrived at the airport under the instructions of the ground staff, and quickly boarded the plane.

After getting on the plane, Zhou Yang found that the Air Police No. 1 was similar to the one he saw in the exhibition hall, but the interior space was relatively smaller.

This is because due to the small internal space in the later period, the design department remodeled the fighter and deliberately lengthened it.

Otherwise, relying solely on the original model, it would be impossible to accommodate so many staff after putting down so many devices.

After all the staff participating in the test boarded the plane, the pilot immediately asked the control tower for takeoff.

After the tower's take-off order was issued, the early warning aircraft transformed from the Figure 4 long-range bomber started its engine, and then moved quickly on the runway...
