Chapter 240 The Order of Assembly

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zhou finished visiting the entire Yongxia Island.

He saw everything Chen Hao said, then stepped onto the helicopter and headed to the No. 002 aircraft carrier parked dozens of kilometers away.

The plane fell on the deck, and Ye Zhou experienced the terrifying aspects of this sea giant for the first time.

I can't feel the wind and waves at all, and the runway under my feet is like a solid ground.

The commander personally led the team to greet him. After a few greetings, several people boarded the bridge and prepared to take a break to start today's test.

Ye Zhou was a little nervous, after all, this was his first time.

The first time I boarded an aircraft carrier, the first time I saw the carrier-based aircraft take off, and the first time I saw the carrier-based aircraft take off vertically.

The commander on the side noticed his expression and handed him a bottle of water and said:

"Mr. Ye, how about it? Our aircraft carrier is okay?"

"Um."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and continued:

"It would be great if it was flat---the third child should be arranged, right?"

The commander laughed and replied:

"Stop talking about the third child, the fourth child will also arrange it for you---you have solved so many problems for us, it is not an exaggeration to make such a request."

"Then tell me first, are the third child flat or erratic?"

"......If it's a stern, I'll lead the team to level you up."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Ye Zhou smiled and turned his gaze back to the deck.

There was a j-20h docked quietly, and its landing gear was also equipped with a fixed hook lock. The pilot was already in place. At this time, the ground crew was doing the final inspection of the aircraft status.

"What's your next plan? Just fly around?"

The commander shook his head slightly and replied:

"From the inspection of the aircraft, to the refueling on the ground, to takeoff, to the refueling in the air, to the circling, hovering, re-flying, landing...all of them must be tested, and it will be completed once today."

"So many...what if something goes wrong?"

"Then don't have any accidents. We don't allow any accidents."

After saying that, the commander pointed to the deck and continued:

"We have a total of 3,000 crew members on this big ship. From me, as a captain, to ground staff, to boiler maintenance personnel, to chefs, there are several or even dozens of professionals who have been specially trained to be responsible for each position."

"For example, the ground crew you see actually includes wheel gear officers, mobile officers, cable operators, elevator operators, signal operators..."

"These people have to repeat the same action dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times every day in their posts."

"But, in these thousands of times, they can't make mistakes even once."

"What we see on the surface is an aircraft carrier, but in fact, it is a precision machine. Even if there is a problem with a small screw, it will lead to a series of chain effects and eventually lead to serious consequences."

“Although it is often said that landing an aircraft from the air onto the deck is as difficult as aiming at a stamp a few thousand meters away, I would say that the challenges our ground crews face are not necessarily smaller than theirs.”

"So, I don't allow them to make mistakes, especially the pilots themselves."

"Because once it makes a mistake, it means that everyone's efforts before him were wasted."

Speaking of this, the commander smiled and his tone became relaxed again.

"Fortunately, they never made any mistakes."

"Today, they won't make any mistakes."

Ye Zhou nodded deeply and did not continue to ask questions.

The plane on the deck had completed the final inspection, its hook lock had been released, the engine was ignited, and the entire plane slowly glided onto the runway.

However, unlike previous ski jump takeoffs, this time, the tail flame baffle on the deck did not rise.

The vector spout turned, and the blue flame gradually turned below the plane.

After a moment, the force was activated. This fully loaded j-20h was rising into the air at a slow and stable speed in front of everyone!

The high temperature of the tail flames burns the constant blowing sea breeze, and the twisted air flow seems to have substance.

Through the airflow, Ye Zhou seemed to see a few shadows vaguely.

However, at this moment, he had no extra energy to pay attention to other things. He just stared at the plane that had just been modified for less than a month, watching it rise to the clear sky.

The sun was very dazzling, but in comparison, the two tail flames mixed with more than a dozen Mach rings were even more dazzling.

After a while, j-20h rose to a sufficient height, the engine nozzle began to turn, the plane slowly accelerated in the air, and after the speed reached the critical value, the engine power increased again, and the entire plane shot out!

The shock wave formed in front of the canard, and then huge, conical sonic bomb clouds began to be pulled out from the rear of the plane, and the deafening sound of explosions came, which made people's eardrums almost shattered.

But Ye Zhou did not reach out to cover his ears.

This is the first roar that this fighter jet, called "Veoron", made after flying out of its brand new nest.

And such a roar will resound throughout the sea after today.

Seeing j-20h's figure gradually disappearing into the sky, Ye Zhou breathed a little relieved, but then he discovered something strange.

There are still planes on the deck preparing to take off.

j-16.

The bomb truck is also fully loaded. Its tail has already sprayed flames. After a brief preparation stage, the aircraft's after-force is opened and then it leaps along the deck and soars into the sky!

"What does this mean?"

Ye Zhou looked at the commander beside him in confusion.

The commander did not answer, but pointed to the sky in the distance.

Ye Zhou looked up and saw that the original small black dots had gradually enlarged.

Three H-20s, three big white gooses, two H-6ks, plus the j-16 that just took off and is about to take off on the deck...

The answer to his own question suddenly flashed through Ye Zhou's mind.

These people did something that Mao Xiong and Chou Guo had done before.

They have to test to the maximum extent, or show their firepower delivery capabilities.

Once upon a time, some people always liked to frame three bombers with different functions, b2, b1 and b52, to show their powerful firepower in the fields of strategy, tactics and conventionality. Even the Super Bowl had to fly these three planes over to create momentum.

After them, someone also did the same operation several times, gathering the three bombers, Tu-160, Tu-22, and Tu-95, and taking a promotional video.

At that time, the rabbit could only watch them show off like a minion, and then silently returned to the hangar and changed the letters behind the H-6 from b to k.

But now, everything is different.

This time, a total of 5 most strategic national weapons soared above this small sky!

Ye Zhou looked into the distance with expectation, and he saw the planes starting to gather in the sky, and then led by j-20h, all the planes lined up in a triangle formation and began to move closer to the direction of 002.

After a brief wait, the air formation began to fly over the deck.

The commander on the side raised his hands, and then everyone stood neatly, raising his hands to salute the sky.
Chapter completed!
