Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Seven days passed in a hurry, and the long-lost lights on the runway of the war preparation airport were bright.

The ground crew is carefully checking the runway, which has not been used for a long time. They need to conduct pre-takeoff inspections to ensure that there are no foreign objects on the runway that affect the take-off and landing of the aircraft.

The airport tower in the distance also lit up the lights after a long absence, and entered the activation state, and welcomed a large number of people to stay here, ready to watch the upcoming test flight of the aircraft.

"The inspection of runway 1 has been completed, there is no foreign matter, no icing, and it is ready for take-off." The news that the inspection was completed soon came from the runway.

"The runway is confirmed, please take off from runway No. 1." After receiving the message, the tower's wisdom said to the plane that had been pushed out of the hangar and was ready to take off through the walkie-talkie.

"The test machine received it and is taxiing into the runway." Soon the test machine also sent a reply.

From the window of the airport tower, it can be clearly seen that an aircraft is slowly sliding from the hangar to the end of the runway, adjusting its position and preparing to take off.

"Can you really fly?" The leader who came to watch the test flight asked the people around him, seemingly worried.

"Don't worry, the leader. Although that Academician Chen is young, the project he is in charge of has never had any problems." The staff next to the leader hurriedly said, even though they blindly believed Chen Xin's suspicion, it was obvious at such a time. It is also impossible to splash cold water.

After all, who knows if the leader is really worried, or if he just asks it casually?

However, there are certain hidden dangers in this test flight. Chen Xin was able to complete the transformation plan and specific transformation of the aircraft in such a short period of time. It is very impressive, but now he has to do the test flight, which makes people feel a little worried.

Although Chen Xin did complete the transformation plan on time in seven days, and also completed the transformation of the aircraft used for the transformation experiment, and pushed it onto the runway for test flight, but this time was really too short.

If it is under normal circumstances, not to mention rigorous technical demonstration, the aircraft itself needs to undergo a series of strict inspections and acceptances to ensure that the inspections are correct before the actual test flight can be carried out.

But now this test plane has only been put on the runway since Chen Xin took over the mission and it has only been seven days.

Although Chen Xin has organized technical demonstrations and various inspections after completing the transformation, there is no problem in theory, but who can guarantee that after the plane takes off, there will be no problems?

You must know that even an aircraft that has undergone technical demonstrations and various inspections will still have various problems during the test flight. After all, no one knows what will happen to the aircraft when it really flies into the sky. Accidental is the end of the machine crash.

And that's why test pilots are the most elite pilots, and why airplane testing remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

If it is possible, the leadership will certainly not let the precious pilots take such risks, and will let the technicians conduct more detailed technical demonstrations and inspections, and will not only give Chen Xin seven days to get a result.

However, there is really not enough time, and there is no room to take it slow.

During the seven days when Chen Xin remodeled the plane, the volcanic ash erupted from the Toba Volcano has spread to Qiongzhou and Guangdong Province. Although the earthquake did not cause a tsunami due to the fact that the sea was covered with ice, a large amount of ice cracked, and even some The broken ice was pushed up to the coastline, still making people feel the existence of the crisis.

In addition, the most important thing is that a 3.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in the southwest region during these seven days. Although the magnitude was not strong, it made everyone nervous.

This earthquake may just be a very ordinary geological activity, after all, the southwest region itself is in an earthquake-prone zone.

But what if? What if the eruption of Mount Toba affected the seismic zone in the southwest, making it active?

No one dared to gamble on this possibility.

What the country can do now is to make preparations in time and do all the preparatory work that can be done in advance, so as to avoid being in a hurry when disasters may occur in the future.

"Where's Comrade Chen Xin? Didn't he come to see the test flight?" The leader turned his eyes and didn't see Chen Xin on the tower.

The staff hurriedly replied: "Academician Chen is over there in the hangar, saying that he is going to do the final inspection before the plane takes off."

"I see." The leader nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the aircraft on the runway has also completed all the pre-takeoff inspections and is ready to take off.

"Tower, this is a test plane, request takeoff." The pilot's voice seemed a little nervous, but he still requested takeoff with a firm voice.

The commander of the tower looked at the leader, saw the leader nod, and then said to the pilot: "The test plane, this is the tower, it is allowed to take off."

After speaking, the commander seemed to hesitate for a while, and said something unprecedented: "Safe journey."

Hearing this, the pilot was also stunned, but he responded quickly: "Thank you for your blessings, I'm about to take off."

As the pilot's voice fell, everyone in the tower saw that the plane that had stopped at the end of the runway began to taxi forward and was accelerating.

This time, the hearts of everyone in the tower clenched, nervously watching the first fixed-wing aircraft to take off after the meteorite hit the Blue Star.

As the plane got faster and faster and got closer to the end of the runway, the nose finally lifted up, and the whole plane roared up from the runway and rushed into the night sky.

Seeing that the plane took off successfully, everyone in the tower cheered and even clapped.

Although this seems to be an ordinary night flight, it means that humans have finally printed their footprints in the sky once again.

However, flying up does not mean that there is no problem. The situation on the ground is far better than that in the sky. Most of the particles and dust have fallen almost for more than a year, but the dust suspended in the sky and There are still many particles.

Especially above the stratosphere, because the original air flow is relatively stable, a large number of fine dust and particles are suspended in the air for a long time, and will not fall in a short time.

This also leads to the fact that when the aircraft enters the stratosphere, the engine will inevitably inhale a large amount of dust and particles due to the intake air, which will cause wear and tear on the precision parts in the engine.

Now, although Chen Xin has installed an air filter on the air intake duct of the aircraft, the specific effect can only be known by flying in the sky and actually flying a circle.
