Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

A plane that can fly for two full days.

This shocked Luo Lan immensely, and it could even be said that his three perspectives were shattered.

"Is the battery life really that great?"

"In theory, yes, but we will have to wait until the test flight to know to what extent it can actually be achieved."

Hoddis nodded.

Luo Lan silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of an EX-level aviation scientist, awesome! !

"By the way, this plane has not yet been given a code name. Please ask the Marshal to name it before the test flight."

"Name..."

Looking at the fighter plane in front of him, Luo Lan held his chin with one hand.

I started thinking silently.

This look looked familiar, but Luo Lan couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

But now he remembered.

In this case...

"Okay, let's set the model as P-51, codenamed Mustang, how about that?"

"Wild Horse... this is a good name. Our generals are all named after animals, so this name is in the same vein!"

Hoddis nodded in agreement.

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment.

Our generals all have animal code names?

No, Fujitora and Green Bull are indeed, but Hawkeye...

and many more...

My goodness, isn’t an eagle also an animal?

No problem.

I never deliberately used animals as code names, but the result is...

This name is actually in line with the navy.

------

A few minutes later.

A King's Landing soldier who specialized in the Six-Style Moonstep entered the cockpit.

After some inspection, start the engine.

The propeller on the nose of the plane began to spin rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, the runway was cleared and the fighter began to taxi, accelerating at an ever-increasing speed.

finally...

Soar.

Luo Lan widened his eyes again.

Because the fighter jet only glided less than 100 meters before it completed takeoff.

What is this concept?

If I remember correctly, the wild horses in my previous life had to be at least a few hundred meters away, right?

100 meters?

Simply outrageous! !

"Hodis, what is the maximum flying speed you can reach?"

“Almost 1200 kilometers per hour!”

"What, nearly 1200 kilometers?"

Wow, it’s almost supersonic, okay?

Is this something a piston propeller plane can do?

Luo Lan didn't know where to start complaining.

"What about weapons?"

"Speaking of which, the next test is about to begin. Marshal, look, it's coming!"

Pointing at the fighter plane in the sky that was performing various maneuvers, Hoddis said.

The next moment, the slash suddenly dived downward.

Then...

Da da da da da...

On the ground, a circle with a diameter of about three meters was instantly covered in dust.

It can be said to be quite accurate.

"No, this is your first test flight. You've only been in the air for a few minutes, and you're already performing a ground attack?"

Luo Lan started to complain.

Logically speaking, shouldn't this be a project that is only carried out after a long period of repeated test flights?

you...

Is it that radical?

"Marshal, is there any problem with this?"

"No, no problem, as long as you are happy!"

Well, we can’t use our past life experiences to look at the world of pirates.

Anyway, the test pilot is proficient in Moon Step and has a physical strength of 800, so even if something goes wrong, it’s okay.

It's just a drop of a plane, no one will die.

Need some yarn safety regulations...

After one hour.

The test pilot completed all the tests.

Including various tactical maneuvers, air and ground strikes, etc.

Even the pass 30 centimeters above the ground was done.

Luo Lan was shocked at first, but then...

I'm completely numb.

Next is the test of maximum range.

After landing and filling up his can of Coke, he flew up again.

However, Luo Lan did not intend to continue reading, after all...

We have to fly for two consecutive days.

There's nothing wrong with me, do I have to stand here for two days and two nights?

After saying hello to Hoddis, he left.

Now that the fighter planes with practical significance have been obtained, then...

It's time to form a naval aviation force. Time waits for no one...

To this end, Luo Lan called Taotu and Tina over to discuss the matter together.

As for the generals...

Fujitora and Green Bull haven't come back yet, and Hawkeye knows nothing about this kind of thing.

So, only two women were found.

After all, they all have experience in commanding troops and group combat.

“I think the selection criteria should focus on three aspects.”

"First, physical strength."

"Second, the mastery of Moon Step."

"Third, the ability to shoot."

After understanding the fighter's combat methods, Tina spoke first.

These three points are similar to what Luo Lan thought.

And Taotu also added something after Tina finished speaking.

"I think that in terms of physical fitness and basic abilities, we should follow what Tina said, but fighter piloting skills should also be an important consideration!"

Well, that's absolutely true.

But there is a problem here, that is...

"Sister Gion is right, but our problem now is time. If we want to know a person's driving level, we must first teach him how to fly a fighter plane!"

"In the remaining time, we may only have time to train a group of pilots, so we can't carry out this screening."

Luo Lan shook his head.

If we think optimistically, there may be more than a month left.

But this is a very optimistic scenario.

But if the situation is not good, it may only last less than half a month, or even less than half a month.

Obviously, this amount of time is not enough for Junlin to train a large number of pilots and then select the tallest ones from among these trained pilots.

"In this way, although we cannot let all the soldiers in King's Landing learn it, after all, it will affect everyone's training time, but..."

"First, according to the conditions mentioned by Tina, we will find 200 people and finally select 100 of them as the first batch of naval aviation soldiers in Junlin. What do you think?"

This was the result of Luo Lan's careful consideration.

It will not affect too many people, and can ensure that they can choose one of the two in the end.

Try to keep pilots with good skills.

Because Luo Lan asked Hoddis about the mass production speed of this fighter.

The answer is...

As long as there are sufficient manpower and funds, about 51 P- Mustang fighters can be mass-produced per month.

"agree!"

"agree!"

Upon hearing this, the two women both nodded.

This is the best solution without affecting other matters.

"Okay then, I'll leave the selection to you, Sister Tina!"

"No matter which unit it is, even if it's the Intelligence Department or the Logistics Department, as long as there are people who meet the requirements, we can transfer them!"

The Navy attaches great importance to the aviation force.

Luo Lan directly delegated power to Tina.

During the selection process, all departments must cooperate unconditionally.

And just then.

There was a knock on the office door.

Boom boom boom...

"Come in!"

"Luo Lan, the alert airship just sent a message that a sailing ship is approaching us quickly!"

The door was pushed open.

Luo Bing walked in quickly.

I didn't even have time to say hello to Taotu and Tina before...

He shouted directly at Luo Lan.
