488 Stealth fighters and drones at the base? Reliable
"All things along the plane have been arranged?" On the way to go, Xie Kai sat inside Zheng Yucheng's Volgagas-24 and asked worriedly, "Don't pass by someone else's airspace and be shot down, that's not a good deal."
Although he decided to go to Africa, after all, the future plan was too important, Xie Kai was still timid and afraid to set foot on that magical and life-threatening continent.
"Don't worry, since you dare to fly over there, there will definitely be no problem." Wang Guilin advised Xie Kai, "You are too nervous. Let's relax, there will be nothing."
Xie Kai had nothing to say.
"What's the purpose of asking Li Li to go there? Can she go to Africa to teach?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.
"She is my class teacher. Now it's vacation, and the other teachers are back. She has nothing to do at the base alone. So I invite her to hunt and relax in Africa." Xie Kai said, "Besides, she is my class teacher after all. I didn't do anything before. She was so angry that she cried in front of so many people in class..."
"It's a good thing that you are willing." Zheng Yucheng didn't doubt him. "But when you go there, you have to pay attention. You have to prepare a lot of kura water and regular medicines. Anyway, you have a good relationship with Tanzania. If you need it, just ask them to arrange a helicopter."
Xie Kai rolled his eyes and did not answer.
In the valley that originally led to the weapon test site, a large part of the valley bottom was hardened. Xie Kai only found out how large the airport runway was when he arrived.
"The entire runway is 5 kilometers long, and there are still two kilometers left to be built..." Seeing Xie Kai's mouth wide in surprise, Zheng Yucheng proudly introduced. "The construction speed was not so fast. Thousands of people at the base helped for free on the construction site every day, and there were also those who had nothing to do after get off work, so they also took the initiative to go to the construction site to help..."
The valley bottom is more than ten kilometers long. It was originally covered with various pebbles, with a gentle terrain, so it is easier to build an airport runway.
Even the small hills on both sides of the valley were blown up to avoid the collapse and affecting the airport.
At this end of the journey, the runway was straight and there was no sight of the camera.
Just like the base, the entire hardened cement floor is covered with brown paint. It looks like it is not obvious that it is an airport runway in the sky.
"Where is the terminal?"
Xie Kai looked over and didn't see the terminal at all. "Didn't it mean it's under construction?"
"There are many excavators and people on the mountain in the middle. Did you see it?" Wang Guilin pointed to the exploded mountain in the distance and said to Xie Kai, "We are going to build the terminal inside the mountain and just protrude part of it outside."
Xie Kai didn't know what to say.
This kind of construction speed was indeed something he had never thought of.
It took only more than a year to build a huge airport in such a remote mountainous area, and most of the runway completed, which was enough for planes like Yun-Ten to take off and land.
"So many mountains on both sides are dug up, what are you going to do?"
"Fighter hangar. And we are planning to build a fighter assembly workshop here!" Zheng Yucheng said proudly, "Our base cannot be without its own core industry. If the excavator industry and mining machinery business of Hongqi Machinery Factory are moved out, the base will have no industry. It is impossible for tanks to be produced all the time, right?"
"We have people in this regard?" Xie Kai frowned.
Zheng Yucheng, the old guy, thinks that one place is the same, and is engaged in fighter jet production and assembly here, but don’t you see that there are fighter jet production units everywhere in China?
"Domestic fighter jet factory, how many units do you think can survive? Besides, aren't you still going to get someone from the Soviet Union?" Zheng Yucheng said with a pretended relaxed look.
Xie Kai took a deep breath, "I don't know the situation yet."
"Don't you go and have a look? The construction of the airport was also what you proposed. This is the first time you have come here since the beginning of construction." Wang Guilin changed the topic.
Nowadays, the airport construction has reached its mid-to-late stage, and the main construction is the annexes.
"How long will the plane last?" Xie Kai asked.
He thought Yun Shi had already arrived, but when he got here, he found that he had not seen Yun Shi at all.
"It should have taken off. You know, the frequency of this long-distance flight of the 10th is much higher than before. After each flight, a lot of inspections have to be carried out, especially now that it has been flying for 260 hours, there is not much time to get the safe flight time to be evaluated at the beginning." Wang Guilin sighed, "The cost of this thing is too high."
"There is no way to go. As long as the design is still being modified, you have to keep testing the flight. This requires money." Xie Kai also knew. "How is the production investment of the improved New Yun-10?"
The service life of Yunshen is not long, not only for flight test data, but also for the purpose of preventing Yunshen from disappearing.
"It has begun to be in the planned feeding stage, but the aircraft girder keels and other large presses still need large presses, and the large presses have just begun to be manufactured..." Wang Guilin sighed, "If we do not solve the problem of large presses, our Yun-Ten, even if we are newly manufactured, will not have a flight life of more than 500 hours. It cannot be commercially available."
"Then let's make it in the original way first. This Y-Sen cannot be grounded. The assembly of that one has not started yet..." Xie Kai said.
Everyone knows the key to the big press.
Otherwise, it is impossible for a huge amount of 200 million yuan to invest in a large press when the base's financial pressure is so high.
"Are you going to build a factory here?" Xie Kai followed the two of you to the construction site and found that it was not the one he saw, but the mountain that passed here, with many huge indoor hangars.
When I was close to the terminal construction site, I found that there were many people working on the construction site.
Many lesbians even wore headscarves and worked clothes on the construction site to carry their hands with the men on their shoulders.
"The airport is built on the other side, otherwise it will be detrimental to future confidentiality work. After all, this airport is also to facilitate the contact between the base and the outside world." Wang Guilin explained.
The mountain in the middle of the runway was dug up at least one thousand meters long. The 404 base was producing excavators by itself, otherwise the cost would be unbearable.
Except for the runway part in the valley, many areas are excavated.
Xie Kai was speechless, why did these guys have to be built in the mountains?
Is it still a fear that this remote area is not confidential enough?
"What do you know! Everything in our base is built according to high-standard combat readiness bases! So, as long as the country does not decrypt and we continue to build it, it will never be made public. Aren't Americans bragging that their satellites can see all the ants on the ground clearly? If you have the ability, they will come to see our base?" Zheng Yucheng was very disdainful of Americans bragging about satellite performance.
Xie Kai understood from his words that even in peacetime, the country knew that it was impossible to fight, but the preparations for war still had to be carried out.
Forget the battle will surely be in danger.
In the whole world, only domestic military equipment technology is kept the most confidential. If it were not for domestic willing to announce it, foreign countries would never know what was in China.
Just like the J-10, J-20, Dongfeng-41 and other major killing weapons back then.
Even before Varyag was launched, few people knew that China was building an aircraft carrier...
"Anyway, the country doesn't give money, so we're happy to do whatever we want." Zheng Yucheng was completely proud.
"Don't spend money on this?" Xie Kai wanted to kick Zheng Yucheng away, "Look at how much does this project cost?"
"I really can't consider this. If we didn't build it like this here, do you think our base has a future?" Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai, "As long as we build the fighter assembly plant, we can enrich the people we dug from other units. You said the Super Seven Project, so you are practicing for them? The f-14 fighter wreckage, etc., are still in our hands."
"That's right, otherwise, we have always been making wedding clothes for others. Now the 45,000-ton large press is brought to Qin Fei. What should we do if the above requests to be allocated to Qin Fei? The 6.5 or even larger ones in the future, if it is placed here, will the base be scrapped? If it is relocated, it will take at least one year to stop production. Who can bear this loss?"
For the first time, Xie Kai felt that he always felt that these short-sighted old guys were all cunning.
Once the large press is in this base, unless there are various force majeure factors.
The base has its own nuclear power plant to supply energy, and it can be ignored for surrounding environmental pollution, and even its strategic location belongs to the rear.
As for the inconvenient transportation here?
Rail transport is not a problem. Don’t you see, are Boeing and Airbus and other aircraft working together globally?
This cost of the military industry is completely negligible.
Confidentiality is even stronger here than Rongfei.
"If we create the world's most advanced drone, J-20 stealth fighter, etc., here, this..." When we think of this, Xie Kai's saliva flowed out.
Immediately said, "I think this plan is reliable. And aren't we going to get a drone?"
"Do you want to build a team first?" Zheng Yucheng became interested. "What's the point of building a drone? That thing can only be a target."
"Boom boom boom..." At this time, a roar came faintly from the sky.
Looking up, an airplane was constantly zooming in.
"Everyone pays attention, pauses homework; everyone pays attention, pauses homework..." The horn sounded from somewhere.
Xie Kai heard the beeping whistle.
"This plane cannot see the ground runway, right?" Although the runway is straight, it is the same color as the valleys on both sides.
"Isn't there a signal mark? Besides, the pilots are experienced and can be seen when they land." Wang Guilin said. "Okay, get ready to get on the plane. You have to fly a lot of time along the way..."
