McFly's Burbank factory is another 20 kilometers eastward, which is a test flight base specially built by McFly's factory.

Before handing over the aircraft to airlines for the first flight, the aircraft manufacturer will repeatedly test flights around its own airport. The number of flight tests ranged from hundreds to thousands and tens of thousands.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a brand-new McFly F475neo docked in the first position of the flight test base. In the tower, the designers of McFly Labs, the director of McFly's public relations department, Johnny Berkeley, the current chief designer of McFly, Tor Reiner, and the former chief designer Zhuo Huan, stand in front of the 360° surround glass , Looking at the plane shining in the sun from a distance.

After five minutes, it moved.

The blue-and-white aircraft slowly reversed from the parking position, drove out, and finally stopped at the start of the take-off runway.

The bright May sun shone on the streamlined fuselage, reflecting the cold and sexy steel color. The strong light contrast makes the cockpit of the aircraft produce a noticeable black hole effect. Looking down from the tower, the windshield in front of the cockpit has become almost black.

Knowing that it is impossible to see anything, Zhuo Huan kept his head down and stared at the windshield in front of the captain's seat.

At the same time, in the cockpit shrouded in boundless silence, Fucheng had finished all the pre-takeoff preparations, and he also raised his head and looked at the tower.

At a distance of hundreds of meters, Fucheng looked at it, but it was just a tower that was shining by the sun, and it was as dazzling as a mirror reflecting light. However, in this silence, he seemed to feel that person's gaze, and quietly looked back at him.

Fucheng held the headset on: "Test the F475neo, ready to take off."

The next moment, Zhuo Huan's voice sounded from the headset: "Allow to take off."

At the airport with only one runway, Fucheng held the throttle stick in one hand and looked ahead.

Like every ordinary and steady takeoff, the white plane began to accelerate on the runway. The engine uttered a deafening roar, and the aircraft's shell trembled slightly in the explosive acceleration. Only in the cockpit, the young man in the captain's seat was calm and calm, looking forward quietly, without fluctuations.

There are only 1,000 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters left on the hillside at the end of the runway...

It is like gently standing on tiptoe and jumping from the ground. This huge McFly F475neo suddenly raised the nose, and the tires lifted off the ground without any bumps. It jumped into the blue sky.

In an instant, it disappeared among the white clouds.

...

After climbing steadily to an altitude of 10,000 feet, Fucheng contacted the tower again.

In the earphones, Zhuo Huan's instructions came: "Allow to climb another 5,000 feet. Captain Fucheng, you need to do more flight tests today, and high-altitude operations are safer."

Fucheng was taken aback for a moment, and his voice was calm: "Yes."

Wheat airport, ground control tower.

Public relations director Johnny looked at Zhuo Huan strangely, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Patrick, we didn't say that we need to do more test flight movements before. Do you want to do more of these movements, what do you want to do?"

Zhuo Huan said lightly: "Look at the airplane's lift changes, pressure distribution and boundary laminar flow..." He stopped his voice and provocatively said with a smile, "Do you understand?"

The smile on Johnny's face froze, but soon he laughed again: "After all, I am an employee of Mai Fei, Mr. Patrick, I still know what you just said."

Zhuo Huan: "Oh."

Throwing a word casually, it didn't even mean to say any more.

Johnny was extremely embarrassed, but he was not embarrassed because he was ridiculed by Zhuo Huan. As a public relations officer, he has seen too many storms and waves. When working for a securities company before, he was even splashed with sewage by a client. At that time, his first reaction was "not sulfuric acid", and his second reaction was "that's nothing." Now that Zhuo Huan said a few words, he doesn't hurt at all.

He was more concerned about whether Zhuo Huan suddenly did something more and whether he would steal Mai Fei's business secrets.

Johnny winked at a laboratory designer he was familiar with. The latter understood what he meant, and said bit the bullet: "In the previous test flights, we have tried all the necessary flight tests and procedures. Mr. Patrick, I I feel...maybe there is no need to do some extra moves."

Zhuo Huan looked at the designer wearing glasses. He paused for two seconds and called out his name: "Robertson Marquez?"

Robertson suddenly felt flattered: "Do you remember me? Mr. Patrick."

Zhuo Huan did not answer his question, but said: "You are a professional telex system...Tsk, what did you come here for today?"

Robertson suddenly opened his eyes wide, speechless.

Johnny has nothing to say. Robertson was brought over from the laboratory specially by him. Johnny is not a professional himself. If he encounters any professional question, he wants Robertson to help him answer it from the side, so as not to make him unable to keep up with the rhythm of Zhuo Huan and others, thereby ignoring any key information.

By this time, everyone understood what Johnny meant.

As a non-professional person, the reason why he is here today is to prevent UAAG from stealing the trade secrets of Maifei's new models.

"It's ridiculous!" There was a mocking and arrogant smile on Tor Rainer's face. He looked at his student and asked him: "You have already seen neo, can you see where it has changed."

Zhuo Huan was silent for a moment, then asked him, "What do you think."

Thor Reiner is an unsmiling person, but he has lived for more than sixty years, and occasionally is amused by some incredibly ridiculous things. He sneered and said: "If someone can observe the uniqueness of a new aircraft by relying on the naked eye and with a few special flight tests... Hehe, why should he be an aircraft designer? Why not? What about being a god?"

There was dead silence in the tower.

Zhuo Huan glanced at these people indifferently, then looked back at the sky. He didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth raised sarcastically showed what he was thinking at the moment.

But there are some things that you don’t need to say to these people.

Zhuo Huan felt bored, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Fucheng's cell phone. After sending it out, remembered that Up and Down City left the phone in the fairway building and didn't take the plane.

...It's fucking boring!

Fucheng didn't know what happened in the tower. After he climbed to an altitude of 15,000 feet, he reported to Zhuo Huan: "The current altitude of Maifei F475neo is 15,000 feet. Please give instructions."

Zhuo Huan: "Fly horizontally for 30 seconds, then take a rapid dive."

Fucheng: "Yes."

One keeps issuing instructions, and the other executes them in an orderly manner.

It's as if they have practiced countless times, and they have a good understanding. Every action Zhuo Huan wanted, Fucheng could quickly realize. At the same time, McFly's staff also received some basic data from the aircraft. They use computer calculations and inferences to simulate a virtual plane on the computer screen. In the sky, what action the Maifei F475 piloted by Fucheng does, the virtual plane will repeat in three seconds.

All necessary basic data are public.

Thor Reiner never thought that anyone could use these data to make a point, even under his nose, even if this person is his protégé. Because he can't do it. He was extremely relieved.

After the seven basic flight maneuvers are over, the eighth special flight maneuver. Zhuo Huan turned on the communicator, looked at the plane flying through the clouds in the sky, and issued the first special action command——

"Make a big turn to the right at 270°, fly horizontally for 10 seconds, then take a sharp turn."

After a pause, he added: "Can you do it, Fucheng."

In the cockpit, the young man looked ahead, smiled slightly, and said in a steady voice: "Well, you can do it."

It can be done not only with a civilian aircraft, but also with the difficult maneuvers of a military fighter jet. But while Mai Fei was confused by these difficult moves, he wrote down all the data that Zhuo Huan needed on the meter!

What Zhuo Huan gave was just a simple action command, but these actions had already been designed in detail the night before. Including the altitude when performing the action, including when encountering different winds and different wind directions, Fucheng needs to make calculations immediately and adjust the corresponding flight data...

He has already memorized all the formulas and data, and he can perform conversions according to the actual situation within a minute.

Can it be done?

Can do it.

The one-hour test flight is over.

Mr. Renner sternly watched the plane in the sky approaching the airport. Because he didn't have any special reaction, although Johnny was worried that Zhuo Huan would steal Mai Fei's trade secrets, Mr. Reiner felt it was nothing. He could only choose his own chief designer.

However, in fact, Johnny had already kept a hand. He installed a camera in the cockpit of this test flight!

When Fucheng gets off the plane, he will secretly take away the camera and look at the records inside. He would never let go of any special actions in Fucheng.

Mr. Reina sneered: "Do you have any useful data now?"

Zhuo Huan glanced at him and said lightly: "You have to analyze it slowly."

Everyone is waiting for the plane to land.

A designer said: "We deliberately installed the landing gear of the McFly F485 on this test aircraft. Its safety has been greatly increased. According to calculations in the laboratory, there should be no landing gear failures this time. The F485's landing gear is too heavy and too expensive. Unlike F485, F475 is a medium-sized passenger aircraft. We redesigned it to reduce costs. So it is impossible to replace it with F485 landing gear. This is just Special measures to ensure safety during the flight test."

Zhuo Huan didn't expect this. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and said: "The F485's landing gear has 1.8 times the pressure resistance capability of the F475."

"Yes, so Mr. Patrick, this test flight is safe."

As the plane flew closer and closer, from a small black spot on the far side of the sky, it gradually turned into a behemoth over sixty meters in length with its wings spread out. It broke through the hot air and fell to the ground. However, just as the plane was about to land on the ground, a dazzling spark suddenly exploded at the point where the ground touched the landing gear.

Zhuo Huan took a step forward, and everyone else was surprised.

The next moment, Zhuo Huan turned around and left, while leaving a very cold tone: "Let the ambulance waiting next to the airport pass by immediately!"

The author has something to say:

Zhuo Anxi:? ? ? It is said that the landing gear is changed.

Fu Chengcheng: [Calm face] Not afraid, I am the protagonist.
