Chapter 834 Constant Temperature Hangar
In the evening, when the last rays of sunset faded away, the entire Longbao International Stadium instantly turned into a sea of lights.
Red, blue, green, yellow...
Signal lights of various colors kept flashing in the airport. The huge fleet of H-20s and J-16s were densely connected together, just like huge steel birds nesting in a cyber nest.
In the gaps between these military aircraft, a large number of ground crew members of the aviation brigade are busy like marching ants. The bright yellow stripes on their reflective vests complement the colorful light sources at the airport in the shadows of the wings, gathering into a star-like neon matrix...
buzz~
A military refueling truck more than 3 meters high roared to a stop next to a J-16 fighter jet. The python-like oil hose was pulled to the fuel tank port by two burly ground crew members of the J-16 Aviation Brigade.
Snap~
All that was heard was the crisp sound of the oil pipe engaging with the aircraft body, and then with a "buzz", as the oil gauge pointer turned, the oil pipe, which was soft a second ago, expanded and filled with oil like a sponge.
Next to the H-20 not far away, professional ground crew members belonging to the H-20 Aviation Brigade have also erected a vehicle-mounted maintenance platform. Technicians in overalls are holding up flaw detectors and carefully checking the skin stress data jumping on the fluorescent screen.
Beep beep beep beep~~
Suddenly, with a shrill whistle, the staff subconsciously raised their heads.
I saw a heavy military tractor slowly towing a J-16 fighter jet away. The ground crew leader, who was waving a signal stick to give orders, looked like a firefly flickering in the dark night.
At the same time, in the southwest direction of the airport, the wall that was originally used to separate the airport and the wild land has been completely demolished, and extending outward is a new field construction site that has sprung up.
High-power lighting lamps, military searchlights, tactical headlights and other light sources illuminate the entire field construction site as if it were daytime.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz~~
Amid the dense and surging roar of diesel engines that sounds like the roar of wild beasts, all kinds of military and civilian mixed engineering equipment are running on the field construction site!
Bulldozers, excavators, pile drivers, concrete spraying trucks, etc., as well as a large number of engineering vehicles that Gu Chengyuan was not familiar with were working intensively on the construction of the constant temperature hangar.
As mentioned earlier, as a stealth bomber, the H20 has very high requirements for maintenance. In addition to the plasma stealth coating on its body that needs to be preserved under constant temperature and humidity conditions, the photon radar array, quantum communication system, etc. also have extremely high requirements for the storage environment.
Therefore, if you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the H20 stealth bomber for a long time, the construction of a constant temperature hangar is almost necessary!
For this, a thoughtful system has already been provided. Among the ground crew of the H-20 Aviation Brigade that arrived at the venue this afternoon, there were detachable insulated hangars and mobile temperature-controlled cabins carried by container semi-trailers.
Although the effect is not as good as Yonggu’s constant temperature hangar, it is just like pre-prepared meals, but it is better in that it can be served quickly and can be used in emergencies!
It only takes three processes, namely, foundation treatment, hangar main body construction and temperature control system integration, to obtain a fully functional H-20 constant temperature hangar. The whole process takes no more than 24 hours.
...
"Commander, look, this is the construction process of our temperature-controlled hangar. By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, our H-20 stealth bombers will be able to be put into storage one after another!"
In the airport tower control room, Gu Chengyuan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window holding a military telescope, looking towards the brightly lit temperature-controlled hangar construction site not far away. Standing next to him were two more air force officers with the rank of colonel.
One of them is Lei Zhenyu, commander of the H-20 Aviation Brigade. He is 45 years old this year and was a former ace pilot of the bomber unit. He once set a record for precision strike of a certain type of missile at the extreme range. He is known as the "strategic eye" for his long-term research on the theory of combined nuclear and conventional operations.
The other is Yue Tianxiang, commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade. He is 42 years old and holds the double title of "Golden Helmet and Golden Dart" in the Air Force. He was called "Taihang Mountain Eagle" by his opponents during aerial dogfights and holds the longest record for sustained 9G overload in the entire army.
The voice of explanation that just sounded was the commander of the H-20 Aviation Brigade, Lei Zhenyu, introducing Gu Chengyuan.
"Not bad, this is good progress!"
Gu Chengyuan put down the telescope in admiration, and Zhou Guihong, who was carrying a field briefcase at the side, quickly reached out to take it.
"How is the ground troops of your two brigades moving in?"
At this point, the commander of the H-20 Aviation Brigade, Lei Zhenyu, and the commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade, Yue Tianxiang, looked at each other subconsciously, and then Lei Zhenyu took the lead in reporting:
"Reporting to the commander, most of the personnel and equipment of our two brigades have already entered the site. Only a few are still stranded on the road outside the airport. It is expected that all of them will be stationed before 12 o'clock tonight!"
"Ok!"
Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "The progress is okay, but we still need to speed up a bit."
"Although this is the heart of our war zone, the mutant beasts in the wild have not been cleared out yet. With so much commotion at the airport today, it is inevitable that some stubborn people will come here, so we must pay great attention to safety issues!"
"Yes!"
“We will definitely pay great attention to it!”
"Have the pilots of the Air Force been arranged to rest? They have worked hard today!"
When talking about the personnel and equipment issues of the two aviation brigades, we naturally cannot avoid the absolute core of the aviation brigades' combat power - the pilots.
"Reporting to the commander, we have arranged for the pilots to eat in the airport cafeteria. Director Zhang... Zhang Shitao's arrangement is very good. I just went to see it. The food is very rich and the pilots also praised it!"
After hearing the report from Yue Tianxiang, commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade, Gu Chengyuan immediately shifted his gaze to Zhang Shitao who was standing in the corner.
Facing the gazes of the chief and many military leaders, Zhang Shitao, while being grateful to Yue Tianxiang, also realized that his chance to show himself had come again!
As for the dinner that was originally prepared for the celebration, does it matter? When it comes to progress, the result is always more important than the process!
"Commander, I just did my job. I feel very honored to be recognized by Brigade Commander Yue!"
Seeing Zhang Shitao's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, Gu Chengyuan became more and more satisfied with him.
Since Zhang Shitao took over as the person in charge of Longbao International Airport, he has not only maintained the smooth operation of the airport, but also made contributions one after another. The first time was to preside over the project of converting civil passenger aircraft into transport aircraft, and the second time was to take the initiative to inquire about intelligence on the Southern Theater Command. Now he is also praised for his attention to details.
He is indeed a talent, with management skills and subjective initiative. He is not afraid of making mistakes and dares to think and act. Most importantly, he is very sensible!
It's indeed time to promote him!
