Into Unscientific Chapter 568

  Chapter 568 The plane blew up, but it didn't seem to blow up again

  Four days later.

  The hinterland of Badain Jaran Desert.

  Qingshui No. 14 base.

  On the tarmac.

  Looking at the quite old silver-white jet aircraft in front of him.

  Chen Pingsheng. That is, in the eyes of the pilot who performed the Doppler weather satellite verification, he couldn't help but feel distressed:

   "Political Commissar, are we really going to use it to perform tasks this time?"

   Hear this statement.

  Wang Hui, political commissar of the base next to Chen Pingsheng, nodded slightly:

   "Xiao Chen, this is the price we have to pay, and this is also the mission of this plane."

   "In addition to this plane, Xiao Chen, I am more worried about you this time."

  Chen Pingsheng was silent.

   After a while.

  He suddenly took a step forward, and stroked the words [Huaxia People's Volunteer Air Force] sprayed from the aircraft shell with his gloved palm.

  Looking at Chen Pingsheng, who has not been informed of the specific purpose so far, Wang Hui couldn't help but sighed again.

   As the political commissar of Qingshui No. 14, the first experimental training base of the Chinese Air Force.

  Wang Hui is one of the few people in the entire base who knows the ins and outs of the whole thing.

yesterday afternoon.

  The base received an instruction from the capital:

   Order Qingshui No. 14 base to take out a MiG-15bis fighter jet from the warehouse, and select an experienced pilot to drive it to the Qukuniha area in western Xihai Province this morning.

  The pilot sailed at an altitude of 15,000 meters and a speed of 700 kilometers per hour.

   Other than that.

  After flying to the mission site.

  The airborne radio station will receive a radio notification, and the pilot must complete the requirements in a very short time and parachute to escape.

be honest.

   This is a very, very dangerous task, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be a tragedy of aircraft crash and death.

   Finally, after organizational discussions.

  The leadership selected Chen Pingsheng, a test pilot of the J-6 fighter jet and a veteran of the Peninsula War, to perform this task.

  Seeing that Chen Pingsheng was a little depressed, Wang Hui also walked to his side:

   "Xiao Chen, I remember that this MiG-15bis was the one you drove on the peninsula battlefield, right?"

  Chen Pingsheng nodded.

  He stared fixedly at the instrument panel in the cockpit, as if he had traveled through time and saw the youthful self:

   "Well, I was still a rookie at that time, I didn't expect to come back alive in the end."

   "Hey, you rookie is amazing."

  Wang Hui smiled and tapped him with his index finger, and said with emotion:

   "Who would have thought that you, a rookie, would kill George Davis, the ace pilot across the sea?"

   "If you hadn't killed Davis, we don't know how many comrades we would have sacrificed at that time, let alone morale encouragement."

  Heard the glorious deeds mentioned by Wang Hui.

   Rao is Chen Pingsheng feeling a little heavy at this time, and scratching his hair in embarrassment:

   "Political commissar, this is all in the past. Didn't you keep saying that we should look forward? Why bring up these old things?"

  Wang Hui raised his eyebrows at him when he heard the words, and spread his hands:

   "Here, listen, you know we have to look forward, don't you?"

   "Since you don't want to mention the past, why do you keep thinking about this MiG-15bis?"

   "I was thinking that no matter how rookie you were back then, you still had two hundred flight hours.

   "If you treat the plane as a wife, this is not your kid's first love—at least it must be a third marriage or a fourth marriage."

   "The co-author, you kid is a kind of love, you are always sympathetic and miss you everywhere, right?"

  Chen Pingsheng:

   After a while.

  He let out a faint breath and explained:

   "Political Commissar, I am mainly reluctant to spoil such a good aircraft. It can still fly, and it can be used as a training aircraft if it is not good enough."

   "Even if you want to use it as a target to test some missiles, isn't the DH98 or P-51 in the warehouse good?"

  Wang Hui shook his head when he heard the words, and his tone became serious:

   "It's not the same, Xiao Chen. Although there are indeed a few of the planes you mentioned in stock, they are not far from being scrapped."

   "For example, almost all P-51s have root cracks in the undercarriage, not to mention their maintenance."

   "Just the requirements of flying altitude of 15,000 meters and speed of 700 kilometers per hour, these models will be completely excluded."

  Chen Pingsheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

   But in the end still did not speak.

  As a professional fighter pilot, he naturally understood whether what Wang Hui said was true or not.

   After a while.

  Wang Hui also stretched out his palm and patted the shell of the MiG 15bis, recalling:

   "Xiao Chen, I can probably understand your thinking, three years after the new one, three years after the old one, and three years after sewing."

   "It's a good thing to be diligent and thrifty, but we humans must look forward after all."

   "Think about how many planes we had in the country when you first joined the army? It wasn't even enough for grand ceremonies at that time."

   "And now, we have 767 J-5s alone!"

   Speaking of which.

  Wang Hui's tone also carried some emotion.

   Grand ceremony.

   This is a nail that will always be in the hearts of all Air Force pilots.

   At that time, New China had just been established, and a grand military parade was held at the ceremony.

   When planning the military parade, many leaders decided to organize a flying team to pass through Tiananmen Square and accept inspections from all sides.

   This is a very normal practice, but the rabbits encountered difficulties during the preparations.

  Because the rabbits at that time were really poor

  At that time, there were a total of 159 aircraft captured and left behind by the rabbits from all sides, and the number seemed to be quite a lot.

   But these aircraft are first of all a variety of models, with more than 20 names.

  The second is that the condition is not good, most of them are in tatters, and it is very difficult to barely take off.

   Some even require soldiers to use horses to pull the plane to the runway.

   Collected.

  The Aviation Bureau gathered some aircraft in good condition at Nanyuan Airport and formed a flying squadron.

  Models mainly include:

   There are 17 P-51 Mustang fighters, Mosquito bombers, C-46 transport aircraft, PT-19 trainer aircraft and L-5 liaison aircraft.

   But even so, it is still not enough.

  So in the end, a certain smart rabbit came up with an idea:

   In view of the fact that the P-51 Mustang fighter jets are faster and have a large number (9), they can fly in front of the queue.

  The slower PT-19 trainer and L-5 liaison aircraft flew behind.

  After the P-51 Mustang fighter jet finished flying, it went around the field and quickly followed the PT-19 trainer plane and the L-5 liaison plane.

  Then passed the podium for the second time and accepted the inspection.

  In this way, on the day of the celebration, people saw not 17 aircrafts reviewed, but 26 aircrafts.

   This is an ingenious design that has been told by later generations, but for all astronauts, this matter has another meaning.

   It's definitely not a shame, after all, the grand ceremony itself is a happy event.

   But it is like a whip, always motivating everyone to move forward.

   After a while.

  Wang Hui couldn't help turning his head to look at Chen Pingsheng, and said earnestly:

   "Xiao Chen, you have participated in the test flights of various aircraft types over the years, and you also know that our country's military conditions are improving every moment."

   "The days are getting better now, not to mention spending money, at least you can always throw away a few old clothes with a split crotch."

   "Maybe in ten years or decades, let alone the MiG-15, our country can even independently design fighter jets!"

   "Perhaps when the time comes. Well, the time for J-7 is definitely not possible, so let's go to J-8. Maybe people at that time will discuss how J-8 can be defeated to caress the empress."

  Puff Chi—

  Heard Wang Hui caressing the empress with a strong accent.

  Chen Pingsheng finally couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

  Wang Hui, who has been engaged in political work for a long time, immediately knew that Chen Pingsheng's mentality had improved a lot.

  So he patted Chen Pingsheng on the shoulder and said:

   "Okay, Xiao Chen, if you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one. This time, ensuring your own safety is the most important thing."

   "Okay, don't be shy, hurry up and start!"

   And at the same time that Chen Pingsheng boarded the plane half-pushed.

  221 base.

  Beside the tall tower where Xu Yun proposed the concept of the damper.

   Right now.

  Lao Guo,

  Sun Junren,

   Wang Lao,

  Qian Wushi,

  Jue Li

  The main leaders in the base and experts who are qualified to contact the Jade Sword project gathered in this open space.

   Some of them looked impatient, and looked up at the sky from time to time.

  Some expressions are calm, with hands behind their backs calmly, pretending to be a master without speaking.

   Some people chatted with each other and ate the melon seeds they had accumulated for a long time, as if they came to eat melons and watch a show.

  However, judging from the frequency with which the latter two turned to the operating platform not far away, their hearts were clearly far from as peaceful as they appeared on the surface.

   It is the morning of the fourth day after the 221 base report meeting, and the much-anticipated Zhuxian platform was officially assembled yesterday afternoon.

   So early this morning.

  Many leaders of the base gathered here to watch the first experimental flight of the Zhuxian platform.

  There are two main purposes of this experimental flight.

  One is to test whether the Zhuxian platform can fly to the preset altitude smoothly, and whether the operation between various parts is smooth.

  The second is to test the specific hit effect of the "Xianxian Sword" missile.

   Among them, the second purpose is the focus.

   After all, if you don't experiment with anything and just wait for U2 to appear, it's okay to say that the platform cannot fly due to parts problems.

   But once the "Zhuxianjian" missile failed to hit the target, it was lucky to escape by U2

   Then this is not a question of whether it can hit the next time, but it is likely to involve the research and development plan of nuclear weapons.

   Therefore, the first flight experiment is an important and necessary part.

   And a few meters away from the area where these experts are located.

  Bao Zheng is leading several operators to stare at the screen on the console with full attention, constantly reporting various numbers:

   "The height is 17234 meters! The offset is 0.2%! The pressure ratio of the main and auxiliary compartments is 0.95! The upper shear force coefficient is 2.35!"

   "The height is 18834 meters, the offset is 0.3%! The pressure ratio of the main and auxiliary compartments is 0.94! The upper shear force coefficient is 2.35!"

   "The altitude is 21006 meters, the offset is 0.3%! The pressure ratio of the main and auxiliary compartments is 0.95! The upper shear force coefficient is 2.39!"

"high."

   After a while.

  Bao Zheng suddenly raised his head and said to Wang Lao:

   "Commander Wang, the rate of ascent of the Zhuxian platform has begun to decline!"

  Old Wang's face remained unchanged when he heard the words, and asked calmly:

   "What's the current speed?"

  Bao Zheng glanced at the console again, then immediately raised his head and said:

   "4.21 meters per second."

  Old Wang nodded lightly:

   "Don't worry, play with it."

  According to Wang Lao's pre-design.

   After the airship reaches about 18,000 meters, it will start to slow down due to the influence of the environment.

   At that time, it is necessary to open the parabolic chamber of the airship through radio commands, and start throwing the ballast downward.

   Now the airship only slowed down for the first time at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, which is much better than Wang Lao and his team expected.

   But take into account the high-altitude environmental factors.

  Old Wang still plans to observe again, maybe he will recover after a while?

as expected.

   More than thirty seconds later.

  Bao Zheng raised his head with joy, and said:

   "Commander Wang, the speed of the airship has returned to normal!"

   Seeing this, Elder Wang raised his eyebrows at Fifth Master Qian, the meaning was obvious:

   Buddy, are you awesome?

   Fifth Master Qian snorted coldly, and said to the bad friend:

   "Cut, virtue! If you have the ability, you can pick off the lunar soil!"

   Then more than ten minutes passed.

  Bao Zheng raised his hand again:

   "Commander Wang, the speed of the airship dropped to 4.1 meters per second, and it lasted for more than a minute!"

  Old Wang looked at the height, and it was a little over 24,000 meters.

  This altitude is 6 kilometers more than the preset speed reduction line, so Wang Lao nodded with a sense of satisfaction:

   "Very well, let's start parabolic."

  Hearing Mr. Wang's instructions, Baozheng immediately pressed a button.

   Well known.

  Due to the level of science and technology these days, there is no integrated circuit chip like the later generation in China, let alone in China, even in the world.

   Therefore, the control of the entire airship can only be done through radio transmission, and there are only a few instructions:

  C band starts to parabola.

  The K-band main cabin is filled with nitrogen.

  The S-band main cabin releases nitrogen to the auxiliary cabin.

  X-band for horizontal displacement calibration.

  Ku-band release missile launcher.

  The signals in these bands have been encrypted. Even if they are intercepted by some enemy agents, they will only be able to decipher the sentence [24 years old, a graduate student, hum ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

  Even Lao Guo and the others don't understand the meaning of this sentence, let alone those enemy agents or people across the sea.

   After jettisoning ballast.

  The speed of the airship quickly returned to about five meters per second, which is more than three hundred meters per minute.

that's all.

  The airship's display on the console was getting higher and higher, and it continued to rise after breaking through 30,000 meters.

   And to this height.

   In the electromagnetic concept, it has approached the lower boundary of the ionosphere.

   Mentioned earlier.

   The division of the ionosphere is quite special.

  It is not an interval of geographic atmospheric standards, but a division method of electromagnetism.

  The ionosphere is located between the middle layer of the atmospheric standard and the warming layer. This area begins to have atmospheric molecules ionized by solar radiation into electrons and ions, so it is called the ionosphere.

   At the same time, the concept of the ionosphere appeared very late, and it was not formally proposed until 1926.

Of course.

  Its related theory is slightly earlier.

  For example, Oliver Hevesey proposed the theory of Connor Hevesse layer in 1902, but the properties of the ionosphere had not been formally determined at that time.

  The most special thing about the ionosphere is that.

  It is the propagation medium of radio waves.

   That is, the electromagnetic wave hits the ionosphere at a certain angle, is reflected and travels to another area.

   And because of this.

   The lower boundary of the ionosphere may still have an impact on the radio transmission of the airship, and may even interfere with signal docking.

   Actually let alone now.

  Even in 2023, positive and negative ionospheric storms will still interfere with GPS positioning.

   Sometimes if you encounter high-intensity solar wind.

  GPS positioning may even be skewed to tens of meters.

   Fortunately, the lift-off altitude of the Zhuxian platform is about 40,000 meters, and there is still a distance from the lower boundary of the ionosphere. In theory, it will not have a serious impact.

   But as the saying goes.

   Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

  The total number of satellites successfully launched this year is only nine. The scientific community's awareness of high altitudes is really limited.

  So no one is sure about it—except for some Mr. Crouching Deaf who is hearing impaired in a wheelchair.

that's all.

  Under the gaze of everyone on the scene.

  The height of the airship keeps rising.

  33245 meters.

  34969 meters.

  35345 meters.

  37849 meters.

  Finally fifty minutes later.

  The height of the airship has come

   Forty thousand meters!

  The moment the altitude line breaks through 40,000.

   Fifth Master Qian, Junren Sun and Elder Wang looked at Bao Zheng almost at the same time, and said in unison:

   "Comrade Bao Zheng/Xiao Bao, how is the communication feedback from the airship?"

   Baozheng's attention has been on data observation, and he was taken aback by the roar of the three.

  However, he quickly adjusted his mood and quickly reported:

   "The S-band is normal and the KU-band is also normal. And then."

   "Well, only the three bands of CXK have some problems due to the influence of sunspots, but generally the impact is not big, and it can be played normally!"

  Hearing Bao Zheng's words.

  Everyone at the scene relaxed their chests.

  The possible influence of the lower boundary of the ionosphere is the biggest variable during the ascent of the airship.

   Now that this variable has been eliminated, the first step of today's trial run experiment can be said to have been successfully completed.

   And just when the chests of Wang Lao and the others were slightly loosened.

  Li Jue's assistant, Zhou Cai, suddenly trotted to Li Jue from a distance, and said in a low voice:

   "Director, just received news from Qingshui that a MiG-15bis fighter jet has set off as agreed."

   "It is currently flying towards Qukuniha. According to the time, our radar can almost be turned on."

  Li Jue nodded slightly.

   Qukuniha is located in the northwest of the base, and there are no people within 30 kilometers around it. It is considered an uninhabited area relatively close to the base.

  At the same time, Qukuniha said it was a mountain, but in fact there are not many trees these days.

  The entire area is mostly dominated by loess land, which is bare and exposed, and there is no potential safety hazard of causing forest fires.

   So after many rounds of discussion.

  The superior finally decided to choose Qukuniha as the experimental site.

  At the same time, medical experts from the base had rushed to the vicinity of Qukuniha yesterday to provide the pilot with medical treatment within their capabilities.

  Including the stationed patrol troops, about four to five hundred people temporarily acted as logistics work.

  So as long as Chen Pingsheng can parachute successfully, then he certainly doesn't have to worry about no one coming to him.

   Then Li Jue turned and looked at Sun Junren, and said:

   "Yuan Sun, turn it on."

  Sun Junren nodded cooperatively, and shot a look at Lin Yu who was already waiting by the radar:

   "Kobayashi, let's start detecting the flight path."

  Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately pressed the start button of the radar.

   buzz buzz —

  The weather Doppler radar vibrated again as usual, and quickly began to turn.

  At the beginning, Chen Pingsheng drove the J-6 to test the weather Doppler radar long before the start of the project, so the performance of the radar does not need to be debugged or optimized.

   So fast.

  The weather Doppler radar quickly captured Chen Pingsheng's movements:

   "Report, the plane is 370 kilometers away from the base and 412 kilometers away from Qukuniha!"

   "The current speed of the plane is 745 kilometers per hour, and it is expected to arrive in Qukuniha in a little over 30 minutes!"

  Li Jue turned his head and looked at Fifth Master Qian beside him, both of them saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

   It's time to test the feasibility of Zhu Xian's plan!

   Rao is that the Fifth Division of Qian once made a missile plan for the opposite side of the sea, and he was still a little nervous at this time.

   After all, the key thing in this experiment is really important

five minutes.

ten minutes.

fifteen minutes

that's all.

  Time slowly passed by every minute and every second, and everyone waited quietly on the ground under the scorching sun.

   Right now.

  Even the leaders of the base who were chatting about eating melon seeds and turning their hands behind their backs to all sentient beings before gave up their previous pretense and focused on the news.

finally.

   When the time is close to half an hour.

  The tiny black dot of a jet plane races across the sky.

  See this scenario.

   Fifth Master Qian took a deep breath and said to Wang of the contact group:

   "Proceed, comrade, contact the airborne radio frequency band, and the pilot will parachute on time after 180 seconds!"

   Say it.

  He personally walked to the launch pad and pressed the radio button on the Ku band.

at the same time.

  Chen Pingsheng, who was driving the MiG 15bis, was holding the joystick tightly in his hand, sailing as required.

   More than ten years ago.

  He was driving this MiG 15 bis, and personally smashed the myth that George Davis ruled the sky over the peninsula.

   Now Chen Pingsheng is 35 years old. According to the normal situation, he will fly in five or six years at most before retiring.

  At the beginning, he thought about applying to the organization to fly this MiG-15bis on the day he retired.

   The result was unexpected.

   Before I could retire, this MiG-15bis was about to bid farewell to me.

no way.

  Who made Qingshui base only have this MiG-15bis?

   And just when Chen Pingsheng was full of emotion in his heart.

   Suddenly a radio voice sounded in the cockpit:

   "Dongguai Dongguai, this is the Master Tongtian, this is the Master Tongtian."

   "Now please increase to the maximum speed, and complete the skydive in three minutes. Before the skydive, turn the fighter jet to the southwest."

   "Notify again, please increase to the maximum speed, and complete the skydive in three minutes. Before the skydive, turn the fighter jet to the southwest, and there will be comrades below to pick you up."

   "Please answer if you receive it, please reply if you receive it."

   Chen Pingsheng took a deep breath when he heard the words, and pulled up the communicator:

   "Dongguai received, Dongguai received."

   "I wish you peace, I will contact you again in the last 30 seconds, and invite you to drink our factory's special donkey hair soup."

   "Thank you. Um, what soup?"

  The other party did not answer, but hung up the communication.

  See this scenario.

  Chen Pingsheng also withdrew his thoughts and clenched the joystick again.

   It's the last three minutes

   After realizing this.

  Chen Pingsheng's gaze sharpened suddenly.

  Since it is the last three minutes.

   So old friends, let's say goodbye with all our might!

   Whoosh—

  In an instant.

  The BK-1 engine of the MiG 15bis fighter reached the upper limit of thrust of 2700 kg in an instant.

  Under the ultrhigh speed and extreme altitude, a small part of the shell and even parts of the already aging airframe began to fall off.

  But Chen Pingsheng didn't seem to care, still holding the joystick tightly in his hand.

  As if wanting to fly faster and higher.

One minute

  Two minutes.

  When Chen Pingsheng read the number 148 in his mind.

  The original voice came again from the communication device:

   "Dongguai Dongguai, the countdown starts at 30 seconds, please turn immediately."

   "Thirty. Twenty-nine. Twenty-eight."

   With the sound of this voice.

  Chen Pingsheng immediately pushed the joystick to the left rudder to the bottom.

  Students who were MiG 15bis in their previous life should know it.

   MiG 15bis or all MiG series after MiG 9 have strong vertical maneuverability.

  For example, the climb rate of MiG-15 can even reach 50 meters per second.

   However, its horizontal mobility is relatively weak.

  Now, under the condition of extreme speed and altitude, there is an emergency change of direction, and the super load makes Chen Pingsheng's body produce some feedback.

  However, Chen Pingsheng still did not slow down his movements, and was earnestly completing his task.

finally.

  The countdown reached the last ten seconds.

   "10"

"9"

"8"

   "3"

"2"

   "1! Skydive!"

   The voice just fell.

  Chen Pingsheng immediately pulled the ejection ring.

   Whoosh—

   Followed by eject command.

  The fixed device that is usually locked by the mechanical device is unlocked, and the detonating charge of the inner and outer barrel of the ejection gun is detonated instantly.

  A burst of high-pressure gas stretches out the inner barrel, and ejects the ejection seat out of the fighter jet along the guide rail.

  The strong airflow blew Chen Pingsheng towards the vertical tail. Fortunately, Chen Pingsheng tightened his body beforehand and avoided the cutting of the tail.

   One second later.

   MiG 15bis roared away.

   Another time passed.

  After the altitude dropped to a safe range, a parachute bounced off Chen Pingsheng's body.

  The body load before the ejection made Chen Pingsheng dizzy for a while, and the whole person didn't regain his senses until this time.

   After regaining consciousness.

  He subconsciously grabbed the strap of the parachute with both hands, suppressed the urge to vomit, and turned his head to look in the direction where the MiG-15bis was leaving.

  The result was the moment he turned his head.

  Boom—

  In a very far direction within his line of sight, a group of sparks suddenly exploded, and some fragments fell at the same time.

  Chen Pingsheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

   After a while.

  A sigh suddenly sounded at a height of 10,000 meters:

   "Goodbye, old friend."

Note:

   What I said yesterday was bombing planes, not U2, don't say I didn't keep my promise.
