Chapter 407 I am super, duck wing!
There is no need to mention the subsequent celebration meeting and the noon celebration banquet.
Even the top leader, who had everything to do, stayed at Field 132 for almost the first time for most of the day. It was not until the afternoon of that day that he went to the assembly workshop to take a look at the No. 03 prototype that was being manufactured before leaving.
The first flight of a new fighter jet cannot be hidden at all.
Not to mention the various big commotions before the first flight, which led to the wall-climbing party and the grass-climbing party squatting around the 132 factory. In fact, since the 132 factory is also responsible for the production of some civil aviation parts, there are simply not many in the factory. There are few engineers from the West.
Although their area of activity is restricted to a certain extent and they cannot run around at will, they are neither deaf nor blind, and they are all insiders. They will know what you are probably doing even by catching wind and shadow.
As early as when prototype No. 1001 was towed out of the factory for ground testing a few months ago, the news that "China's first self-produced third-generation fighter jet has been completed and rolled off the production line" had already spread.
In fact, more than ten years after the previous life, the J-20’s first flight had related news a few months earlier.
The reason why many people were surprised was simply because there was no particularly developed self-media back then, and news circulation channels were restricted.
Besides, there is no need to hide this kind of thing in the first place. At best, it can be handled in a low-key manner and not take the initiative to promote it.
For matters that do not involve specific technical details, strategies and tactics, confidentiality means keeping things confidential.
Therefore, although due to policy reasons, the news of the first flight of the J-10 prototype could not be reported publicly by official sources at the first time, there was no control over the relevant news.
The plane took off for the first time in the morning, and by the afternoon, anyone who paid a little attention to the development of China's aviation industry basically knew about it.
……
That day at dinner time.
Yangcheng, Haizhu District, in an Internet cafe near Yixian University.
After Xi Boyang finished his internship at the school publishing house for the day, he went to the canteen as quickly as possible to grab a dish and two ounces of rice. He didn't even have time to eat, so he rushed all the way here with his lunch box.
Just a year ago, only a few coastal cities and regional central cities in China provided Internet access services. However, by mid-1997, all prefecture-level cities that could be counted had basically been able to access the Internet, and even some Computer rooms with Internet access have appeared in counties and towns in the region.
Internet cafes, an emerging product, have also quietly begun to spread in some cities.
Although the Internet fee is extremely expensive and the speed is still very slow, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for contacting new things.
Especially near schools, it has become a hot spot for Internet cafe business.
The "Frenzy" Internet cafe that Xi Boyang frequented just opened here two months ago.
Pushing open the slightly worn glass door, the rush of air-conditioning inside even made him shiver involuntarily.
This is also the main reason why he would rather spend an extra dollar an hour and come to this restaurant.
There is air conditioning and it is fully turned on.
Anyway, relying on the part-time job at the publishing house and the manuscript fees for the magazine, it is completely affordable.
Compared with several other competitors that only have electric fans and are filled with the smell of sweat, Kuangchao's boss is obviously very wealthy and spends no time at all in investing, which also brings a better source of customers to his Internet cafe.
After entering the door, Xi Boyang regretted that he only came out wearing a half-sleeved shirt today, but now it was impossible for him to bother going back to get another piece of clothing.
After he skillfully handed over his ID card, paid and got a bottle of mineral water at the front desk, he borrowed a coat from the boss and put it on his body, and then quickly followed the instructions posted on the wall. In front of your own machine.
Another thing that pleased him about this Internet cafe was that it provided soft seats like sofas instead of hard benches.
"call--"
Xi Boyang pressed the power button on the main chassis, then sat down on his seat, waiting for the computer to turn on.
The gallop just now made him slightly out of breath with average physical strength, and he was even a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
Although he usually comes here often, he is not really an Internet addict. The reason why he came so eagerly this time was mainly because of a rumor he accidentally saw a few days ago.
It is said that China's first domestically produced third-generation fighter jet may make its first flight today!
In fact, similar rumors have appeared almost every week since a blurry photo of a J-10 being towed by a tractor appeared a few months ago, and it has long been difficult to win people's trust.
But this time, the person who broke the news was a well-known veteran in the equipment photography circle, who lives in Chengdu.
When the ugly and distinctive J-7F made its first flight at the beginning of the year, he was also the first to send out relatively clear pictures.
Yes, unlike Xi Boyang, an honest character who only shoots public content, the other party is a wall-crawler.
Of course, at this time, there are no management methods for this group of people. Climbing walls to take pictures is still a gray area wandering on the edge. The slogan that has been widely circulated in later generations has not yet appeared. Even if they are discovered, they will be shouted at. A few voices drove him away.
It wasn't until the computer started up a few minutes later that Xi Boyang sat up straight again, opened the lunch box in front of him, and took a few bites of rice into his mouth while connecting to the Internet.
If it were placed in the school's computer room, this kind of operation would be enough to make the management teacher's blood pressure explode, but in Internet cafes, it's not so particular.
God is the one who pays, let alone eating and smoking.
"Damn it, why is it so slow today..."
Xi Boyang skillfully entered the URL of the online chat room, but the subsequent preparation time for reading the message was like torture for him.
It wasn't until about half a minute that the black chat room window interface was finally loaded.
He took a brief look and found that compared to yesterday, there were hundreds of pages of news in it——
In this era, because the Internet speed is not very friendly, the design of chat rooms is closer to the forums of later generations than to QQ or WeChat, which requires turning pages to browse.
After all, if there is no limit on the number of messages loaded on each page, then a page will no longer be loaded after being used for a few days...
He switched directly to the first message of the day.
I found that the message was indeed sent by the old man whose online name is "Several Degrees of Tenderness".
The content is quite simple:
"Friends, I took the photo."
At the back is an attachment.
In JPEG format.
Obviously a picture.
However, this BBS obviously does not have a picture preview function, so it needs to be downloaded.
However, combined with the other party's text, it is not difficult to guess the content of this picture.
Xi Boyang's hands were trembling so much that it took him three consecutive attempts before he finally clicked on the correct position.
It’s another wait that feels like years.
Almost as soon as the download progress bar was full, he double-clicked to open the picture.
"TMD, this broken computer..."
Perhaps because the file size is a bit large, after the image file is opened, the entire image is not displayed directly. Instead, the image is gradually loaded from the top to the bottom according to the standard logic of JPEG.
At first, it was a blue, but slightly gray sky.
Immediately afterwards, some blurry branches were exposed at the edge of the picture, which seemed to indicate that this picture was taken while hiding behind the trees and facing the sky.
"Holy shit, where's the plane?"
Xi Boyang's eyes were fixed on the screen, and the chopsticks in his hands were slightly bent due to his subconscious exertion.
Finally, a black cone-shaped object appeared in the middle of the screen.
Xi Boyang, who had photographed many airplanes, knew that it should be the radome.
"What kind of aircraft will it be?"
His mood at this time was like a gambler waiting for the lottery draw.
The photo of the aircraft a few months ago was almost directly facing the engine. The angle was extremely poor and blurry. It could only be seen that it was a single-engine and single-vertical tail design. Therefore, everyone basically didn’t know what the J-10 would look like. Divide into several factions.
At the beginning, the most mainstream view was that it would look more like the F16.
But soon some people recognized that the aircraft did not have a horizontal tail, so it could not be a traditional design like the F16, and speculated that it might be similar to the Mirage 2000.
Considering that China had in-depth contact with Dassault and even planned to purchase Mirage 2000 as the main equipment of the Air Force, this opinion quickly became mainstream.
Of course, there are also some netizens with good painting skills who have come up with various fanciful designs.
And now, it's time to reveal the answer.
Perhaps taking care of Xi Boyang's mood, the computer directly loaded almost one-third of the photo content.
As a result, the entire plane came into view without any psychological preparation.
"hiss……"
Obviously, it's not F16.
It is indeed the main wing of a large delta wing, but it is not a Mirage 2000 either.
Because in front of the big delta wing, there is a pair of smaller wings.
This strange appearance made Xi Boyang's brain almost freeze for a moment.
But soon he searched for a related term from his memory——
The Swedes have used this design with the main wing at the back and the small wing in the front on the Saab 37 "Thunder" fighter.
"I'm super, duck wing!"
With an exclamation, the convenient chopsticks in Xi Boyang's hand were finally overwhelmed and broke into four pieces with a snap.
Sorry, I was a little busy this morning and forgot to send this chapter when setting...
