Chapter 1327 I Want a Fighter
Chapter 1327 I Want a Fighter
In the spacious and bright but slightly solemn office of the military region, Chen Jun looked at Commander Ding helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Commander, why do I feel like I accidentally fell into a bottomless pit and can't get out no matter how hard I try?"
Commander Ding laughed loudly and patted Chen Jun's shoulder heavily. He said earnestly: "Chen Jun, just stay here for a month with peace of mind. This is the instruction from Marshal Long himself. At present, you are the only one in the entire military region who can skillfully fly that advanced fighter! Look at your extraordinary talent. It would be a pity if you don't use it in this critical place." Commander Ding deliberately moved closer and continued mysteriously, "Besides, I have carefully read your plan at the training ground. Even if you become a hands-off boss, it won't be a big problem. All arrangements are in place, and they are all scheduled for a month later. So, just stay here steadily and make good use of your light and heat."
After saying this, he showed his signature smile on his face, just like the chairman of the Football Association, making it hard to figure out what he was planning.
"If you don't use your talent in research, it will be a great loss to the country! At present, the projects of our Air Force Research Base are in urgent need of talents like you. The country needs you even more! The leaders of the entire command are staring at you eagerly! Young man, unknowingly, part of the burden of the entire country has fallen on your shoulders. Go, fight for the country, young man..."
As he was talking, Commander Ding saw the professors standing there in a daze. He was so anxious that he cursed inwardly: Damn, what a reaction! Chen Jun is almost shaken and ready to leave, and you are still in a daze. Why don't you come over and pull him over? Thinking of this, he quickly winked at the professors.
The professors woke up from their dreams when they saw this look, and they cried out in their hearts: What a close call, we almost let this big shot go. So, they all rushed over like soldiers hearing the charge, and surrounded Chen Jun in an instant. This scene was like a group of hungry wolves seeing delicious prey, and the enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming.
Professor Song grabbed Chen Jun's arm and said tearfully, "Chen Jun, our Air Force Research Base really needs top talents like you! If you just leave like that and leave us old people here, will you be able to live with it?"
Another professor was not to be outdone. He grabbed Chen Jun's clothes tightly and said in a tearful voice, "Since you're already here, grit your teeth. It's only a month. Just treat it as your last chance. When this month is over, you can go back. I promise that I will never let you stay here forever. Otherwise, I'll kowtow to you."
Chen Jun was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly supported the other person. He felt helpless. What the hell was going on? He just came over to make a scene, but how could it have become such a big deal? If he had known it would be like this, he would not have learned to fly a fighter plane. Now, this "enjoyment" shocked the whole country, and then, he successfully "sold" himself into this place that was like a den of thieves.
However, Chen Jun is not the kind of person who would not say anything when he suffers a loss. He would never do anything that is cheap but does not charge interest. He rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said to Commander Ding, who was smiling beside him, with a serious face: "I will stay for the last month, no problem, but I have to make a request."
When Commander Ding heard this, although he was a little nervous, he still patted his chest and said, "I can satisfy any of your requests within my ability. Don't even mention one. Even if you make ten requests, I will satisfy them all." This was said nicely, but he was thinking in his heart: If it's beyond my ability, I'm sorry, I can't satisfy you.
Chen Jun raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said, "I'm sure you can satisfy me. I have only one request. I want to take away a plane in a month."
When Commander Ding heard this, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "No, you are an army soldier, running around on the ground every day, what do you need a plane for? Do you want to sell it as scrap metal?"
Chen Jun explained with a serious face: "It's not an ordinary plane, but a fighter plane. You see, I am risking my life to test the plane for you, and I have to stay here for a month, working day and night to develop fighter planes. We have a principle in the army, that is, a sword must be drawn with blood, and we will not do business at a loss. So, I want a newest fighter plane, and I will drive it back to the hacker base, so that I can give an explanation to my brothers."
After a pause, Chen Jun continued, "Otherwise, Commander, think about it from another perspective. I am the head of a base, but I disappear every day, and I disappear for months. What does this mean? How will others see me? Let me tell you the truth. Comrade Zhan Ge, the chief instructor of the hacker base, has always blamed me, the captain, for running around and not even contacting him because he and his wife Yajieer have no children. Tell me, what do you think of this matter?"
Chen Jun was determined this time. He had to take a new fighter plane back after all the hard work. You know, a fighter plane is like a concubine to a pilot, or even more important than a wife, so he must have one. In other words, he felt that his request was not excessive.
This strange-looking Commander Ding always acted like an old naughty boy. He betrayed him in the military without even a letter of appointment, making him feel like a bonded laborer in the old days, who could only work hard. You know, the Air Force had no power to force him to stay. If he wanted to leave, he was free. So, if he didn't give him a fighter plane, there was absolutely no way.
"Fighter planes... This guy is really bold!" Commander Ding muttered to himself, and hesitated. This fighter plane is not an ordinary item. Apart from the air force, other military regions are equipped with some armed helicopters at most. This kid has a big appetite. What on earth does he want the fighter plane for? Is it to kill mosquitoes?
Seeing Commander Ding remained silent, Professor Song jumped up and down anxiously, pointing at Commander Ding's nose and saying, "No, Ding Ding, it's just a fighter plane, why are you hesitating? As long as Chen Jun is willing to stay and develop fighter planes for us, the value will be immeasurable. What are you still hesitating about? Are you confused?"
Other professors also echoed, "Yes, agree to it. It's just one fighter plane, not ten. This can be considered as supporting the hacker special forces. After all, it is for the country. What, do you look so stingy?"
Commander Ding's face turned red and white. The atmosphere at this moment was like the sky before the rain, with dark clouds and suffocation. Commander Ding had nothing to say after talking to this point. If he refused again, he would probably be accused of many things.
In desperation, Commander Ding had to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, the fighter jet is indeed an expensive piece of equipment, but compared to our comrade Chen Jun, it is nothing. I promise you, I'll give it to you."
When Chen Jun heard this, a triumphant smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly but firmly: "I want the most advanced J-20."
Upon hearing this, Commander Ding couldn't help but pout even though he had prepared himself for the bleeding. He secretly complained in his heart: Wow, this appetite is really huge! However, he finally reached out his hand, high-fived Chen Jun, and said, "It's a deal."
"Hahaha, it's worth it, your thing is priceless!" Although Commander Ding felt so distressed that he felt like he was bleeding heavily, he still tried to convince himself that he had made a profit no matter how he looked at it.
That night, the moonlight was like water, quietly spreading in every corner of the military area.
The secretary of the headquarters drove to the hacker base with all the personal belongings that Chen Jun left at the base. He Chenguang, Deng Zhenhua and others were chatting in the dormitory. They were shocked to see the secretary carrying luggage. They thought that the captain who they had finally met was going to "run away" again. After all, in the past two years, Chen Jun, the hands-off boss, has been running around outside and rarely sees him.
We finally met each other this time, but then I saw someone packing their luggage. How could this not be surprising?
Seeing their surprised expressions, the secretary smiled and explained, "No, your captain is in the Air Force, working with Professor Song and others on scientific research. I don't know the specific confidentiality of the work. I just came here to deliver the luggage and convey that he asked you to lead the team well."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. When Chen Jun was in the hacker base, he would sometimes come back and be pulled by a professor to do scientific research. Unexpectedly, he was still doing scientific research in the Air Force.
"Haha, the captain is not only good at flying planes, can he also build planes?" Deng Zhenhua couldn't help but laughed, and the laughter was particularly loud in the quiet dormitory.
He Chenguang rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "The boss must have the ability to do this. He is better than a guy like you who can only command people to shoot planes."
Deng Zhenhua was furious when he heard this. He jumped up and said, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
The two of them started fighting.
At this time, the luggage was delivered to the Air Force R&D base. Chen Jun was so busy that he didn't care about the luggage. He was testing the new fighter with Professor Song and Professor Zhang. As a pilot, he had first-hand information and was the most qualified to speak in this regard. He could quickly discover and solve problems with the fighter.
In the following days, Chen Jun and the professors started working day and night. The life-consuming scientific research work was carried out in a fulfilling yet boring way. Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in a flash...
Finally, the fighter plane welcomed the day of flying for testing again. It was a sunny day, and the sky was as blue as a gem. Chen Jun, wearing a flight suit, walked towards the fighter plane with a heroic look. He sat in the cockpit skillfully, started the fighter plane, and with a loud roar, the fighter plane rushed into the blue sky like an arrow from a bow.
Chen Jun was flying a fighter plane, cruising in the vast blue sky of the motherland at the fastest speed. After one flight, he felt that it was not enough, so he took off again. This time, he increased the speed of the fighter plane to a terrifying level - Mach 5. This speed is so fast that it is jaw-dropping. Even a fighter plane made of black technology materials is under tremendous pressure under such high-speed flight. The whole fighter plane was like a leaf trembling in the wind, shaking and whizzing, as if it would fall apart at any time.
Chen Jun, who was flying the fighter plane, was like a monkey under the Five Elements Mountain, bearing a huge overload pressure. He felt that his body was about to be crushed, breathing became extremely difficult, his ears were buzzing, and his vision became blurred. Especially his neck, it seemed to bear a heavy burden, creaking all the time, and it felt like it would twist behind his back at any time. That feeling was so uncomfortable.
When the fighter plane finally landed smoothly at the base, Chen Jun collapsed in the cockpit, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Professor Song and his colleagues immediately arranged for someone to carefully carry him out of the cockpit, put him on a stretcher, and prepare to send him to the hospital.
But on the way to the hospital, Chen Jun recovered. He suddenly jumped off the stretcher, dusted himself off, and said proudly, "If it weren't for my physical fitness being far superior to that of an average person, more than 7 times that of an average person, any other ace pilot would have died on the spot."
Everyone gasped when they heard this. You know, the maximum speed that active pilots can bear is generally not more than Mach 3, but Chen Jun actually reached almost twice that speed this time, which is simply amazing.
The professors quickly gathered around and carefully checked Chen Jun's body. After confirming that he was fine, Professor Song breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "This fighter jet has really good performance, but looking around the country, only you can fly it. It would be a pity if it was shelved because others couldn't fly it."
Professor Zhang also said with regret: "There is nothing we can do. Even if a normal person's body is strengthened, it is extremely rare to be able to withstand a speed of Mach 3. The potential of weapons is endless, but the human body's limit is there, and it is difficult to maintain consistency. Being able to reach Mach 3 is already the fastest speed in the world. Even if we encounter the fastest fighter planes of the United States, we can crush them with this speed."
"Not enough..." Chen Jun frowned as he listened nearby. Although it sounds like this speed can indeed crush the fighter planes of the United States, and is stronger than their F22 series, he knows in his heart that air combat is not just about speed. There are too many and too complicated factors in air combat. It does not mean that if you are faster than the opponent, you can definitely defeat the opponent. Besides, the military strength of the United States should not be underestimated. They have more than just those F22 fighters. They simply feel that there is no need to manufacture on a large scale. Just a few of them can dominate the world, so they do not produce them in large quantities. The United States reaps benefits around the world with its strong economic strength. If they have a sufficient number of F22 fighters, and Yan Country does not have enough pilots to fly this high-performance air fortress, they will still be suppressed by the West.
This was not what Chen Jun wanted to see. Now that he had already participated in this project, he was determined to break this situation and find a way out.
After thinking for a while, Chen Jun said to the two professors with a firm gaze: "If we want to truly crush the West, we must make sure that the fighter planes we manufacture can reach a speed of around Mach 4, and we must also ensure that our pilots are able to fly them skillfully."
When the two professors heard this, they immediately stopped the topic they were discussing and looked at Chen Jun in confusion. For a moment, they didn't quite understand what Chen Jun meant.
