"Falcon C, the fighter slowly landed on the ground.
This is the final upgraded version of the "Falcon" series of fighter jets.
"Report to the President, report to the Chief Engineer, the Falcon C test flight is completed!" Wang Xi got off the plane excitedly and trotted all the way to the President Wang Hengyue and the Chinese Air Force Chief Engineer Feng Ru.
During the Northern Expedition, the Air Force mainly participated in bombing missions, and air battles only broke out once, so the Air Force's performance was not particularly outstanding.
But this does not hinder the development of the Air Force!
Continental army, navy and air force, this is Wang Hengyue’s dream.
"Falcon C is a mid-wing aircraft with a metal frame and has a speed of 360 kilometers per hour. We are five years ahead of European and American countries with this aircraft." Feng Ru pointed to the "Falcon C" not far away and said: "
Our aircraft development work has already begun in Rong County, Sichuan. The development time is long and the investment is large. It has always been carried out in a secretive state. During the Northern Expedition, it always appeared as an obsolete model. Therefore, our real strength has never been
It is not known to the outside world, but I can say with certainty that no country can match our aircraft technology so far.
Especially after a large number of German engineers and designers joined, our technology has achieved a breakthrough development!"
He frowned and said, "Does the President still remember the airplane drawing he gave me when I first arrived in Rong County?"
"What pattern?" Wang Hengyue couldn't remember it for a moment.
Feng Ru carefully took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket: "This is it. I never understood that such an aircraft would not be possible in the world."
Wang Hengyue couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the airplane pattern on the paper that he had no talent for painting.
Isn't this the "F15" fighter jet that I drew crookedly when I was in Rong County?
Wang Hengyue secretly laughed in his heart, my Chief Engineer Feng, at the current development speed of Chinese aircraft, I don’t know if we will be able to see this F15 fighter jet in our lifetime.
But these words must not be broken. Wang Hengyue said with a very serious expression: "Such an aircraft will definitely appear in the future. You see, now from a biplane to a monoplane, isn't this a huge progress? European and American countries
Nowadays, all are biplanes, and monoplanes have no shadow at all. The kind of aircraft I drew will appear sooner or later!"
Afraid that Feng Ru would continue to "pester" him about the F15, Wang Hengyue quickly changed the subject: "What we are now developing is a fighter with high flight speed, high cruising speed, high climb rate, and long range. From a combat perspective, the aircraft's firepower is even greater."
At least double it.”
"To achieve high speed, a monoplane is the first choice, but for stability, a biplane is necessary." Feng Ru thought about it and said.
"Biplanes will definitely be eliminated." At this time, Wang Xi interjected: "Monoplanes will be the only choice for future aircraft. In order to meet the President's requirements and make the aircraft fly faster and higher, the engine must be replaced.
.I suggest that jet propulsion theory be researched and manufactured!”
"It's nonsense." Feng Ru was a little displeased: "The jet propulsion theory has been proven by reality to be absolutely unfeasible!"
Wang Hengyue glanced at Wang Xi. This child who was in the flight school has now grown into a young man!
When he inspected the flight school, Feng Ru's words are still clearly imprinted in Wang Hengyue's mind: "This man's name is Wang Xi, he is fifteen years old, he likes flying very much, and he is very talented in this area, no, he is simply a genius.
, but if he can study hard, his achievements in the future will definitely surpass mine. However, he has many bad habits. His hands and feet are not very clean. He always likes to steal things from his dormitory residents. On several occasions, he even stole some from the teacher.
Valuable things were stolen. Once he sneaked out of the school. What do you think he did? He climbed into someone else's yard and peeped at a woman taking a bath. He was caught and beaten and sent back to our school.
The whole school was disgraced by him, so we decided to expel him and expelled him. Later, he was still a student who was forcibly saved by himself, but now he actually proposed the "jet" theory.
No wonder Feng Ru sneered at the "jet theory"!
The first people in the world to propose the theory of jet propulsion were Captain Macni of France and Henry Conda of Romania. Conda also tried to produce the earliest jet aircraft around 1910, but failed. After that, the idea of "jet aircraft" became popular
It's as incredible as sending someone to the moon.
Feng Ru is a genius in aircraft manufacturing, but he also has no interest in "jet aircraft". This is probably due to the influence of the world's mainstream aircraft manufacturing ideas.
However, the first turbojet engine will appear in more than ten years, and the first jet aircraft will appear in twenty years. The jet age in the history of human travel will definitely come!
From this point of view, what Wang Xi said is correct!
Of course, now that Feng Ru is the chief engineer, he must maintain his authority. Wang Hengyue said with a straight face: "Listen to the chief engineer and do everything according to the chief engineer's instructions."
"Sooner or later the jet will show up after the meeting," Wang Xi muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Arrogant." Feng Ru glared at him and hurried to the "Falcon C" for inspection without saying anything.
As soon as Feng Ru left, Wang Hengyue called Wang Xi to his side, pretending not to understand and asked: "What is that jet plane you mentioned?"
Seeing the President asking about himself, Wang Xi cheered up: "President, in the past, human beings regarded flying in the air as an impossible dream, but the airplane came out. Later, everyone thought that the speed of the airplane could not exceed 200 kilometers, but
Now it has exceeded. I believe that the speed of an aircraft exceeding 500 kilometers per hour will soon be reached. But if the aircraft is to break the limits of flight speed and altitude, I think only a jet aircraft can accomplish it."
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed.
Feng Ru said that Wang Xi was a genius, and he was absolutely right.
"It's all nonsense. You have been having such weird thoughts all day long." Wang Hengyue straightened up his face again, then looked to the side, lowered his voice and said: "In order to punish you for such wild thoughts, I am in Nanjing
I will set up a secret factory just for you outside the city. You can develop this kind of jet aircraft for me. Are you sure it will be ready within ten years?"
Wang Xi was startled at first, and then he was ecstatic: "Ten years is too long!"
"Don't be so conceited." Wang Hengyue said very seriously at this time: "Ten years is not long, it is very short. Don't think that you can succeed if you have this idea. I think you can really make a jet aircraft in ten years, you
You are an incredible genius. I don’t know how many failures you have to go through. You are very smart, but smart people often can’t stand failure.”
Wang Xi nodded thoughtfully.
"The more this happens, the more you have to calm down." Wang Hengyue said encouragingly: "I will allocate factories, equipment, funds, and personnel for you. Ten or twenty years, I can wait.
I can face it calmly after failing a hundred times or a thousand times. I hope you can face it calmly too. Maybe you will spend your whole life in the design and development of this kind of aircraft, but I hope you can endure this.
A kind of loneliness and frustration."
"Don't worry, President." Wang Xi seemed very confident: "The President can endure it, and so can I. I'm still young, and I don't mind spending the best time of my life on this."
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Okay, this is the attitude I want to see most. By the way, I will assign another German to be your assistant. This person's name is Heinkel, and he is also a genius. I believe you are here
It will be a pleasure to work together.”
"Thank you, President!" Wang Xi said, licking his chest.
Wang Hengyue smiled lightly. Heinkel, a German, was the inventor of the world's first turbojet aircraft. Before he graduated from school, he trial-produced an improved Falman biplane. He was also a genius.
figure.
With a large number of Chinese and foreign talents in his hands, he is still confident that the jet aircraft will be available within ten years.
At this time, when he saw Feng Ru coming towards him after inspecting the "Falcon C", Wang Hengyue suddenly raised his voice: "Wang Xi, you are so outrageous. You dare to contradict me and ask me to go to the machine manufacturing outside Nanjing."
Go work in the factory!,.
"Yes!" Wang Xi responded loudly.
Feng Ru was a little stunned!
What's going on? How did your student offend the president? He actually transferred him to work as a machinist?
"President, this..."
As soon as Feng Ru's words came out, Wang Hengyue glared at Wang Xi angrily, pulled out his tui and left.
It's not that I don't trust Feng Ru, but I have other concerns.
As the chief engineer, Feng Ru has given all the power of aircraft manufacturing and research to Wang Hengyue, but this person is a bit nerdy and will resolutely oppose anything he thinks is impossible.
For example, jet airplanes are the most ridiculous thing in Feng Ru's opinion. Using manpower and material resources on them is a complete waste of time and money. Therefore, if he hears that his students are going to study jet airplanes, they will definitely be criticized.
Feng Ru's fiercest objection.
Rather than doing this, it is better to hide it from Feng Ru first, wait until the research has some general clues, and then tell him the truth.
But how did Feng Ru know about the President's painstaking efforts? He stamped his feet in anxiety: "No, I have to find the President." "Cangyu, the test flight of the J-type fighter is about to begin. How can I transfer you at this time?"
Wang Xi wanted to tell the teacher the truth, but he soon had the same idea as the president, and swallowed the words on his lips again, and then said: "Teacher, since the president ordered me to go,
Then I’ll go, I believe I can do research there too, the teacher doesn’t have to worry about me, I know what I should do!”!.
