Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 628 Cloud Room Plan: 100%

About two hours later, Zhou Rui got free time and got off the command platform.

At this time, the two test pilots, led by Lin Guangrong, had circled Kunpeng seventeen or eight times.

In addition to knowing how to drive, they also need to systematically understand many engineering issues in order to deal with possible emergencies during test flights.

Although a master's degree in engineering in the aviation field is nothing to the 919 factory, they do not need to engage in R&D and manufacturing, they just need to understand.

Zhou Rui shook hands with the two test pilots: "Hello."

Li Gang and Gu Bo quickly stepped forward to shake hands.

Even after digesting it for two hours, I was still shocked by the fact that the "enlightened smart CEO" was the chief engineer of Rongfei.

This melon is so big that it’s hard to digest!

Zhou Rui said: "Have you two driven a Veyron before?"

Li Gang and Gu Bo shook their heads in embarrassment.

Although the production of "Vyron" is gradually increasing, it has not reached the level of "popularization". Being able to drive a Veyron depends on strength on the one hand and opportunities on the other.

Their captain did visit, but there was no communication. The captain has not returned to the team for a long time.

The two were deployed mainly because they had rich experience in driving "two-seater aircraft", such as H-76, IL-, and some civil aviation passenger aircraft.

"It's okay. Kunpeng's cockpit layout logic is similar to that of the Veyron, while the Veyron's cockpit is inherited from Rongfei himself. You must have driven the J-10 before. You should adapt quickly."

The two of them nodded quickly. The J-10 had never been fired, so they could go home directly.

"You have your own study arrangements. The cockpit system, fuel-power system, and aerodynamic characteristics of the wing body shape are tight and the tasks are heavy. I will arrange for you to rotate in each group."

The biggest difference between the "Kunpeng Project Team" and other aircraft development projects is the word "fast"!

The two test pilots probably have to get used to it quickly.

After a few simple exchanges, Zhou Rui asked them to get familiar with the situation with the team first. He would not follow up on the entire test pilot learning process, but would be taught and assessed by someone else.

After arranging for the two of them to leave, Zhou Rui and Lin Guangrong chatted for a while.

"Looking at it today, the progress has been advanced again?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "It's not considered ahead of schedule. It's maintained at a stable speed. It's planned to be completed at the end of June or early July, and final debugging will take about two weeks."

"The test flight time is tentatively scheduled for mid-July. If the test pilot is slow, it can be postponed later."

Lin Guangrong looked at Kunpeng, nodded and said: "You are the chief engineer. We will follow your pace. The speed is beyond our imagination. If there is any delay, don't be stressed. There is nothing wrong with planning." Postponed haha.”

The familiar words reminded Zhou Rui of something, and he asked: "By the way, how is senior Zhang Yuanchao?"

Lin Guangrong sighed and said: "I have been transferred to a nursing home. I can open my eyes, but"

Zhou Rui nodded slightly and patted Lin Guangrong on the shoulder.

The two of them just stood on the ground, looking up at "Kunpeng".

After a long time, Lin Guangrong suddenly said: "It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than the design."

Zhou Rui also agreed: "Yes."

Lin Guangrong was a little lost.

"I remember when I first joined Rongfei. The conditions were very difficult at that time. Most of the aircraft had to be modified according to the inherent design of Mao Xiong. To put it bluntly, they were imitations. The country's industrial base was too weak at that time."

"But even if we imitate, we are unable to do it. We have insufficient funds, personnel, and technology, so we can only choose one direction to move forward."

"Bombers are purely for 'offensive' purposes compared to fighter jets. We gave up bombers at that time and spent all our energy and expenses on 'fighter' direction. Because the leaders at the time believed that our primary task was 'defense' , not 'offensive'. 'Self-protection', not 'deterrence'"

Zhou Rui nodded. Compared to the "fighters" who never gave up catching up, the bombers had indeed been stagnant for many years.

Even the test pilots didn’t have any professional counterparts.

From the perspective of those years, the judgment is actually correct. Bombers are 100% offensive models, while fighters can be used both offensively and defensively.

This choice reflects the background of the times to a certain extent.

"Being blocked" and "hostile" are the norm. Internal development is in dire need, and the external environment is surrounded by wolves.

The use and planning of force are extremely restrained and low-key. Only when it is absolutely necessary will they be forced to attack the capital of others.

Hey. If I talk too much, I will shed tears.

Many people say that bombers no longer adapt to the times, but they have never considered that the times are changing and the role of the Republic is also changing.

If you just want to protect yourself and be a "sleeper" who develops silently, bombers are naturally meaningless. But if you are forced to sit on the chessboard and become one of the players, then bombers are indispensable. The United States has never given up research on bombers. Until Zhou Rui was reborn, it was still vigorously promoting the launch of the new generation "B21".

In a sense.

From a single model to multiple blooms.

From self-preservation and defense to external deterrence.

What has changed is not only the development of the aviation industry, but also the development needs of the motherland.

Hmm. A pacifist's needs.

--------

In early July, with the efforts of everyone, the "Cloud Room Project" finally came to an end.

It started in late April and ended in July, lasting seventy-three days.

This steel behemoth, which has set many world firsts and should be many "firsts" in human history, has finally completed all construction tasks.

Its name comes from the first chapter of the Taoist classic "Zhuangzi" - Xiaoyaoyou, written 2300 years ago.

Since the advent of "Xiaoyaoyou", countless literati and poets have expressed their feelings, hearts and aspirations here.

But there has never been any Chinese creation that can be worthy of the word "Kunpeng". Everything only exists in the imagination of the Chinese people.

Today, an engineering creation named "Kunpeng" has been successfully completed in the "Cloud House".

When hundreds of participants looked up, an idea came to their mind.

This thing deserves the word "Kunpeng".

Since then, the "Cloud Room" project has been 100% completed.

Kunpeng's total progress is .80%.

In the next few days, they will conduct countless tests and inspections on "Kunpeng" to ensure the normal operation of each system.

This is a job that can never be “done enough” because you can never be too careful.

But the chief engineer still gave a clear target time.

Test flights will be conducted before July 20th.

As the last plan of the Kunpeng project team, it was named.

Beiming plan!

Taken from the meaning of "there are fishes in the North Ming Dynasty".

But as the old people say, plans can never keep up with changes.

A few days before the test flight, another unexpected situation occurred.

Test pilot Gu Bo. Maybe it’s because northerners can’t understand the climate in the southwest. This test pilot, who had high hopes, caught a cold.

Yes, it is such a small illness.

But a test flight is a test of life and death and a major safety matter. It requires test pilots to be in the most perfect state, both physically and mentally.

Not only for their own safety, but also for the safety of "Kunpeng".

Re-selecting test pilots is obviously more troublesome.

After the proposal "How about I come?" was unanimously opposed by all the staff,

Zhou Rui had no choice but to postpone it later.

Finally, Zhou Rui paused on the calendar for a long time and thought for a while.

I first set my sights on August 8st. I had some thoughts, but it has been postponed anyway.

But then I moved forward and saw another number.

After thinking about it, Zhou Rui drew a circle with a pen.

July 7st.

There are already many honors and remembrances that belong to August 8st.

If this legendary engineering miracle is lucky enough to appear in textbooks, history books, and people's bragging

Maybe it can remind everyone of something that shouldn’t be forgotten?
