Chapter 210

Zheng Quanli was specially transferred by the military region from airborne troops to participate in the high altitude experiment project.

As the ground combat force with the strongest mobility, airborne forces are very concerned about air platforms, weather changes, aviation medicine and other elements. Therefore, airborne forces also participated in the air force's high altitude test project.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the air force transferred him from the airborne troops to the military compound to be responsible for the collection and collation of meteorological data in the early stage. Because of this, Zheng Quanli knew very well about the progress of the Xingzhou troops, lacked effective detection equipment, and the speed of propulsion was not satisfactory.

It was not easy to transfer a refitted IL-18 testing machine from the headquarters, but it didn't work several times. When the old IL-18 landed, its landing gear broke, and the belly of the plane had a close contact with the ground. As a result, the imported meteorological observation equipment installed under the belly of the machine was crushed into slag and completely scrapped.

More than four million things have been washed away in this way, and a valuable platform of the aviation surveying and mapping brigade has to be returned to the factory for overhaul.

If it's normal, the problem is that it's not the meteorological observation on this side of Xingzhou that will be affected by IL-18, but the topographic mapping of the whole East and South China.

From the beginning of the sixties to the present, more than 20 years have passed. Geological changes and the production and life of domestic residents have greatly changed the topography.

Under normal circumstances, every three to five years, the army will organize large-scale topographic mapping work, so as to correct the map information and provide strong support for the army's military operations.

However, due to various reasons, the troops in the special period did not make any mapping or correction at all. After more than 20 years, after the troops eliminated the influence of the special period and gradually started regular training and exercises, they found that many of the maps in their hands were out of date.

The originally marked lakes have become crops; the hills 200 meters above sea level have been cut down to less than 100 meters due to mining; a river is well on the map, but it turns out that it has been filled up and planted by local people for a long time.

There are still many similar situations. Although there is no change in the general direction, this kind of adjustment in details still has a great impact on military operations. After all, in military operations, details often determine success or failure. A river or a highland is hard to see, but once it is skillfully used, it is the key for both sides to win.

Therefore, revising the map and improving the details have become the main tasks of the headquarters this year. Only aerial surveying and mapping can make the mapping and correction quickly and stably.

Because of this, the headquarters cherishes the only few IL-18 planes that can carry out surveying and mapping. Even though they are one era behind, they are still regarded as treasures because of their unique role.

Now, it is likely to affect the surveying and mapping work behind. It is strange that the leaders of the headquarters are not angry.

Therefore, the senior leader not only scolded Hong Shengli of Xingzhou, but also Zheng Quanli of the seconded provincial capital military region. The reason is very simple. The attention of IL-18 of the seconded headquarters is given by him. If something goes wrong, he will bear the responsibility.

Therefore, after this matter is over, Zheng Quanli does not expect Xingzhou to complete the collection and analysis of meteorological data in a short period of time. If he does not have the equipment at hand, it means that the soldiers on the battlefield do not have guns. How can he expect them to fight?

Therefore, Zheng Quanli is ready to stay in the military region until the end of the year. He can't help it. The leader of the higher level told him to stay in the military region for half a month. That's just a talk, because people all over the project know that they can't do it for half a year without a platform.

However, only two days later, the Xingzhou army sent a meteorological analysis report, which is also a very rare complex meteorological report on thunderstorm weather.

This surprised Zheng Quanli. How did the Xingzhou army get such difficult meteorological data? Sounding balloon? It's impossible. That thing can't be photographed in a thunderstorm?

Aircraft? Forget it, if the aircraft of Xingzhou army could fly in such bad and complicated weather, it would have become the trump card of the air force.

Is it that they throw people directly into the sky?

Zheng Quanli's mind is wide open.

"They're using drones."

Just when Zheng Quanli was staring at the page full of data in a daze, the chief gave the answer. Zheng Quanli was stunned when he heard the speech. He immediately opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "UAV? How is that possible? We've done experiments, and it doesn't fly six kilometers at all. "

Yes, Zheng Quanli has thought of UAVs for a long time. You should know that Zheng Quanli is a famous UAV expert in the army. He relies on the five TY-1 UAVs provided by Tengfei factory and Zheng Quanli's tactical awareness.

In the past year, Zheng Quanli and his troops have made brilliant achievements in all previous exercises. One of the cases of using UAVs to calibrate mortar targets was also introduced into the classroom by the artillery academy as a teaching plan for future new tactics.

And Zheng Quanli also indisputably became the first person in the military UAV.

So when Zheng Quanli was transferred to participate in the preliminary preparation of the high altitude test project, he first thought of UAV. For this reason, he borrowed a valuable TY-1 UAV from the original army for refitting. The result was very disappointing. The ultimate height of TY-1 UAV could not fly more than six kilometers, and the distance was more than eight thousand meters, so he had no choice but to give up.At the moment, the chief said that the Xingzhou army was using UAVs, which surprised Zheng Quanli, who had experienced numerous failures.

"I'm also very surprised. At the end of the report, Hong Shengli introduced the UAV. You are an expert in this field. Have a good look." The chief's surprise to Zheng Quanli was not surprising, because he was not much better than Zheng Quanli after receiving the report. After all, he was also hit by the failure all the way. It was only because he read the report in advance and digested it for a long time that he didn't respond as much as Zheng Quanli.

Zheng Quanli didn't have the heart to think about the complex mental process of the chief. He quickly turned to the back of the report and read it quickly. His face immediately became strange. Subconsciously, he said: "ty-2, Plath ~ ~? The name comes from... "

said shaking his head, saying that he had no way to Tucao, but finally he looked at the opposite side. He looked at the head of the opposite side. "If it's other drones, I can't make complaints about it. The take-off plant of Huan Cheng is still very promising. The TY 1 UAV of my former army is provided by them. Obviously, the new product has been launched now.

"The name is not very good. It sounds disgusting, but that's not the point. Today I'm here to ask you, an expert in the use of UAVs. Can the UAVs of Xingzhou army be used in topographic mapping?" Without waiting for Zheng Quanli to finish, the chief waved his hand and threw a very serious question.
