"This way, please."
Mark and his group walked to the dark tunnel ahead, explaining to Zhang Heng the functions of the pneumatic Department of the college. It seems that they have been refrigerated for too long, and they are eager to show off in front of the new leaders, hoping to be reused in the future.
Soon, the tunnel will go to the end, until the moment out of the tunnel, Zhang Heng can not help but flash a little surprise.
This is a huge space, like a "Hui" shaped building, surrounded by rooms, in the middle is a cube of empty, empty.
Standing at the railing, looking down, the hole is nearly 100 meters high. There are more than 20 floors below. The equipment and light at the bottom are even as common as ants. Looking up, there are more than ten floors.
"This is the assembly hall, where all the flying gear is made." Mark said with pride, "and here the top of the head can also be opened, if it is to make a rocket, you can fly directly from here."
"Rocket?" Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with surprise, "can you send a satellite to the sky?"
"It's OK in theory, but it's a pity that we don't have so many resources to spend." Mark's eyes showed regret. "At least we need to gather all the manpower and material resources of Boston to concentrate enough resources to send the satellite into the sky?"
Zhang Heng nodded and just kept these things in mind. Instead of talking about this issue, he shifted the topic and said, "is the new aircraft at the bottom?"
"Yes, please follow me." Mark and Zhang Heng walked around the edge of the "back" shaped building, and quickly came to an open elevator. "Please come in."
Zhang Heng stepped on the elevator one step at a time, and then Adam and Ku Zhan followed him. Finally, mark stepped up. However, the scientists behind mark did not catch up. After all, the elevator load has an upper limit, so they have to wait for the next elevator if they want to keep up.
The elevator went down slowly. Soon, Zhang Heng saw a shuttle shaped metal object the size of a medium-sized bus in the center of the hall. On both sides of the metal object, there were four propulsors.
"That's the Falcon series, a new type of fighter made according to the design drawings you brought." Mark pointed to the cigar like spaceship, tut sighed, "since inkley gained absolute advantage by flying bird helicopter, that kind of silly bird has become a big killer in the world. The world nuclear war broke out, and the industrial standard of human beings has declined for hundreds of years. Although it has recovered a little, it is difficult to return to the level of continuous improvement before nuclear war."
"In fact, the level of science and technology is still declining over the years. It is estimated that in a few hundred years, mankind will probably return to the stone age of slash and burn cultivation." Mark sighed, but his expression was immediately gratified. "Until I saw the design drawing you sent, its technological content was not much higher than that of the flying bird helicopter, but its application skills were several times higher. I really can't imagine that those familiar and detailed technologies could be applied in this way. I'm really glad to see this technology I feel that the fire of mankind has not been extinguished, and there is still a future and hope for mankind... "
At the beginning, Zhang Heng listened politely, but there was something wrong with listening.
This mark, isn't it a chatter?
In this way, in Mark's endless explanation, the elevator descends to the first floor of the hall, and Zhang Heng can finally observe the Falcon fighter to be used in the execution of the mission.
The overall shape of the Falcon fighter is shuttle shaped. Because it is an aircraft in the atmosphere, it is very important to keep the streamline shape. Every line on the surface of the Falcon fighter perfectly represents the perfect combination of aerodynamics and art, making the whole aircraft show a strong aesthetic feeling.
There is no door and window structure in the Falcon fighter. Only the tail has an inclined entrance and exit. When flying, the entrance is closed. Only after landing, the tail entrance and exit baffle will be lowered to form a slope leading to the ground.
Zhang Heng walked around the hawk falcon. Mark on the side continued to explain with emotion, "do you see it? There are no wings or other components in the whole aircraft, only two built-in ramjet engines on the left and right sides of the fuselage, and four movable ion lift fans the size of washbasin. "
"The style of the Falcon fighter is an embodiment of the principle of maximizing efficiency. It doesn't even have an observation window. There are only two helmets in the cockpit. The pilot and co pilot will directly put on the helmets to control the aircraft."
"The Falcon fighter has a length of 9.88m, a wingspan of 2.5m, and a height of 3.3m. It is made of high-strength titanium alloy and has a built-in nuclear fusion battery. It has a load of 10 tons and a maximum thrust of 1200 kn!" "The weapon system is two built-in laser Gatling, and four built-in magazine, which can carry four laser guided fat nuclear bombs."
"No air-to-air missiles?" Zhang Heng frowned.
"Do you think it is necessary?" Mark said with a smile, "in addition to ballistic intercontinental missiles, what missile can be faster than the Falcon itself?"
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "Do you mean that the flying speed of Falcon fighter can exceed Mach 6?"In the face of Zhang Heng's question, mark was more excited. He looked at the aircraft in front of him with a kind of fanatical eyes. "Because even the ion lift fan and magazine are built-in, there are no spare parts in the whole fighter, just like a cigar with sharp ends and thick middle So its top speed is... "
"Mach 13.5!"
Zhang Heng's expression coagulates, also some can't believe, "what? Is it really close to the speed of a ballistic missile? "
"Sir, I must be honored to inform you that..." Mark gravity nodded. "Yes! Strictly speaking, Falcon is no longer a fighter. It does not belong to the category of fighter, but belongs to the category of hypersonic aircraft
"It is said that even at the peak of human civilization, the ultra-high-speed aircraft made by human beings are just gliding, relying on the ramjet to enter the ultra-high-speed flight state from tens of thousands of meters high, while your falcon fighter is completely unnecessary! It takes off and lands vertically with four ion lift fans, then accelerates to supersonic state by high-intensity particle flow, and then increases to more than ten times the speed of sound with the help of ramjets on both sides
A surprise flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes. He didn't expect Yuehua's aircraft to be so powerful. Fortunately, he occupied the college, otherwise Yuehua would become a clever woman and would not be able to cook without rice. However, what seems to have come to mind, Zhang Heng continued to ask, "what about driving, how difficult is driving skills?"
"Sir, the driving skills are very simple. Adam and I can drive, but we have been simulating driving in the wind tunnel, and we have not carried out actual flight." Gu Zhan interposed at the right time.
"Good!" Zhang Heng couldn't help but snap his fingers. He could drive enough in the wind tunnel, which means that it should not be worse in reality. However, to be safe, Zhang Heng ordered mark to open the ceiling of the assembly hall, so that Adam and Ku Zhan could have more practical flight training, because tomorrow is the time for them to experience the next plane mission!
For the next task, Zhang Heng has decided to choose the plane of half star difficulty, deep space amnesia.
