When the 36 nominal reporters stepped off the aircraft, they were immediately surrounded by other reporters who did not have the guts to participate in the test flight. They all want to get some useful information from their peers, but when they go back, they have to write reports about the Xiangjiang monster. If you don't have more information, who will read the articles written at that time.
In fact, many people have regretted it, and they knew why they didn't show it when they were so safe. This has led to low-level requests for help, and people are still ignoring you.
However, the reporters who have the courage to participate in the test flight are not ordinary people. That is, a few beauties can get some useful information, and other male reporters can only watch the backs of others leaving.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, the next day almost every major media in the world reported the news of the successful test flight of the Heiyun Group's ground-effect aircraft. And have the courage to take reporters to experience a circle, it proves that this technology is mature. Otherwise, no one dared to take this risk, after all, an accident is not a joke.
Once a mistake is made in front of reporters, it is estimated that the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft can only be played at home by itself. Many countries will not allow aircraft to fly in their own countries, and will not allow their citizens to ride ground effect aircraft.
It can be said that the world's major media are surprisingly unanimous this time, and they all believe that ground effect aircraft are the means of transportation in the new era. It is an aspect that is not weaker than aircraft, and Mike-Briffin is directly defined as the father of ground-effect aircraft, which makes the Soviets very annoyed. It is obviously the first product they developed, how can someone else become a ground. The father of effective aircraft, how can there be such a reason, but out of the principle of confidentiality, no one dares to say more.
Although ground effect aircraft are important, the major British universities are more interested in the Daily Express's report on multi-protocol routers. If it is as stated in the newspaper, then you must go to Yulin Institute of Technology for a field trip. This is the common idea of several famous universities in the UK. Due to the limited coverage of the Daily Express, it can only be seen within the UK at this time. Therefore, it has not yet aroused the vigilance of major universities and institutions in the world. It can be said that the British are ahead in this area.
Varenko-Popoca went straight to the airport after the press conference, and he had to send the information to the country as soon as possible. It can be said that the Soviet Union did not have so many scruples in order to obtain information at the first time. The executives wanted to know whether the ground effect aircraft of the Black Cloud Group was the information stolen from the Soviet Union. If that is the case, there will be a **** storm. At this time, several technicians of the Alexeyev Central Design Bureau have been controlled, the purpose is to prevent them from escaping. But in any case, they are all revolutionary comrades, and no one can wrong a good person, so they all wait for information from Xiangjiang.
Valenko-Popoka soon returned to the Moscow KGB headquarters, but he never expected to see Andropov in the conference room. The chairman of the KGB was the number two person in the country. He didn't expect that the top management would attach so much importance to ground-effect aircraft, which made Valenko-Popoka immediately become very serious.
Seeing Andropov, Varenko-Popoka immediately saluted and said, "Comrade Chairman, the KGB's second-level intelligence officer in Hong Kong, Varenko-Popoka, will report to you and follow your instructions at any time."
Andropov: "Don't be nervous, Comrade Popoka. The purpose of our special trip here to wait for you is to let you report on the situation of the Black Cloud Group's ground effect aircraft."
It is also impossible for the Soviet Union to attach so much importance to it. Before, only one of them had this technology in the world, but in the event of a war, it can definitely play a role as a surprise soldier. Now Heiyun directly discloses the product, causing all countries in the world to design weapons. The research and development of the effective aircraft as an imaginary enemy will not achieve the surprising and difficult effect.
The Soviet Union would lose some strategic advantage, but that's not the main thing. If it is true that the Soviets themselves sold the technical materials to the Black Cloud Group, it would be the misfortune of the entire country. If the relationship is good, it is also an outsider. If it is an insider selling technical materials, it is no different from treason.
Valenko-Popoca took out his camera and started showing pictures on the projector. He brought a total of 3 cameras to the press conference. Therefore, many photos were taken, especially the interior of the aircraft with detailed close-ups. As an intelligence officer, he understands that these are what the Soviet Union lacks. After all, the country's overall electronics industry lags far behind the West.
As the director of the Central Design Bureau of Alekseev of the Soviet Union, Pavlov can be said to have suffered a lot these days. Heiyun Group made such a big noise quietly and made him very passive as the director. How to say that the ground effect aircraft is also the scientific research result of their design bureau. In a blink of an eye, the Black Cloud Group conducted a test flight of the aircraft. No one can believe that it will be so fast if they don't get the technical information. After all, they haven't received any relevant information before. The Soviets always think that there is no other organization in the world that is studying ground effect aircraft.
Therefore, as soon as the black cloud ground effect aircraft appeared, the relevant personnel who knew about the ground effect aircraft in the Soviet Union believed that there was a problem with them. However, after repeated inspections, it was found that no one had the possibility of leaking secrets at all, but it was necessary to find strong evidence; otherwise, it would be difficult to convince people.
But after seeing the photos that Valenko-Popoka brought back, Pavlov was finally relieved a lot. There are essential differences between the Xiangjiang monster and the ground effect aircraft designed by the Soviet Union, although they are both designed according to the principle of ground effect. However, he saw that the product performance of the Black Cloud version is more superior, and the design layout is more reasonable.
Pavlov asked: "Comrade Popoka, can you tell us about what you saw! I heard that you also flew a certain distance in the Xiangjiang monster yourself."
Valenko-Popoka glanced at Andropov, and after seeing the other party nod, he said: "Black Cloud Group announced the technical parameters of the Xiangjiang Monster Ground Effect Vehicle: 108 meters long, 42 meters wingspan, The self-weight is 300 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 800 tons, and the maximum flying height is 50 meters; the wings are equipped with 8 Heiyun three-rotor turbojet engines."
The "Xiangjiang Monster" has a range of 9,000 kilometers and can transport 1,200 people around the world at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour. "
"I personally experienced the flight speed of this aircraft. It can be said that the overall flight is quite stable, and the sound of the engine can hardly be heard inside. However, according to outside reporters, the sound of the engine is very loud at the moment when the engine is started. This shows that the aircraft is soundproof. The material is very good. The main material of the Xiangjiang monster is titanium alloy, and all these titanium alloys come from the Soviet Union. That is to say, we have a way to control him. As long as the black cloud supply of raw materials is cut off, the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft cannot be produced. "
"Also I didn't see the instrument panel inside the cab, all the data are displayed through the LCD screen. And it is also checked by the computer when taking off, and the obstacles encountered during driving are also recalculated by the computer. The best route is to keep going.”
"Comprehensive analysis of the high degree of automation of this aircraft, and I think the number of people actually driving is similar to that of the aircraft. During the test flight, only engineers were checking, but the overall number was not very large. When it finally landed, the engine was pushed backwards. It can be seen that Heiyun has also made a major breakthrough in the field of engines."
Andropov: "Comrade Pavlov, what do you think?"
Pavlov: "Comrade Andropov, the possibility of leaking secrets from our design bureau can already be ruled out. The ground-effect aircraft produced by the Black Cloud Group is at least ten years ahead of us, especially in terms of LCD screens and electronic computers. It's an insurmountable technological divide."
"The entire Soviet Union is indeed a little behind in these two aspects, and we should catch up, otherwise the gap will get bigger and bigger."
Andropov said: "Let's release a few engineers from the Alexeyev Central Design Bureau, and give everyone some subsidies. After all, we have wronged them, but in the interest of the country, I hope they can understand ."
But no one really dares to complain, even if there is one, they should keep it in their hearts. Andropov has already made a conclusion on this matter, so everyone had better forget about it, or else there will be no hello fruit to eat.
Now that it is known that it is technically behind Heiyun, Pavlov hopes to cooperate with Heiyun on the local effect aircraft. Andropov also basically agrees, although this is somewhat in conflict with the Soviet Union's military industrial R&D and production, but at this time, it can't be so much. At present, it is to see who to send to Xiangjiang for negotiation. After seeing the information, one person appeared in Andropov's mind.
