Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 131 Aviation Committee, Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant

"Comrade Huang Zhefu, thank you for your hard work along the way!"

In Huangya Cave, Zhao Tianyang brought Liu Ransheng and politely spoke to Huang Zhefu who had just been sent there.

"It's okay. The commander asked me to come here to help you test the aircraft. Can you take me to see the aircraft now?"

Huang Zhefu replied with a serious face.

He is now particularly curious about what kind of planes these people make. You know, even the National Government cannot build its own airplanes so far!

At this time, you tell him that the Eighth Route Army, which had nothing, invented the airplane!

If they hadn't invented the delta-wing glider before, he wouldn't have believed anything he said.

"Okay! Follow me."

Hearing a hint of doubt in Huang Zhefu's words, Zhao Tianyang shrugged his shoulders, turned around and took Huang Zhefu to the airport.

In order to avoid bombing, the new airport was built near the mountain in a small basin.

Zhao Tianyang asked someone to hollow out the mountain, and all the aircraft produced in the future would be parked in this cave.

"You guys have built this cave pretty well!"

After entering the cave, Huang Zhefu couldn't help but praise it when he saw that the entire cave was covered with cement and had rows of electric lights.

"hehe!"

Zhao Tianyang smiled politely and continued to lead the way.

Seeing this, Huang Zhefu touched his head, wondering if this person had any problem with him.

Just as Huang Zhefu wanted to continue and say something, Zhao Tianyang had already quickly walked to the end of the cave and pulled a waterproof cloth down from the plane.

"My goodness!"

Looking at the plane in front of him with a smooth, simple and elegant appearance, painted green and with a red star logo, Huang Zhefu was stunned on the spot.

He excitedly stepped forward, touched the wing with his hand, and looked at Zhao Tianyang in disbelief: "Chief Zhao, is this true?"

"Hey, that's not fake!"

Liu Ransheng said proudly, "Our section chief and I spent a month making this."

"Amazing!!"

Huang Zhefu sighed: "I still remember that in 1936, the national government took great pains and mobilized the whole country to gather experts."

"We spent a lot of money to seek cooperation with Italy, and finally successfully established the "Aviation Committee Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory" in Nanchang."

"At that time, all of us thought that China would have its own aircraft, but then the full-scale war of resistance began."

"The Italians withdrew their experts and the "Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant of the Aviation Committee" was shut down."

"Until now, they can only manufacture some old trainer aircraft."

Huang Zhefu looked at Zhao Tianyang and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Zhao, I apologize for my contempt just now."

"I really didn't expect that you could actually build a plane when you had nothing. You really slapped the principal in the face!!"

"Haha, it's nothing. This is just a replica of the British Albatross passenger plane. It's not worth mentioning!"

Zhao Tianyang said with a hint of admiration: "It is the designers of the 'Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant of the Aviation Commission' that you mentioned who deserve admiration."

Zhao Tianyang meant what he said, because this aircraft manufacturing plant was later moved to a cave in the deep mountains of Nanchuan, Sichuan due to the bombing by the Japanese army.

Under extremely crude conditions, those scientific researchers relied on their "passion to serve the country".

The theoretical model drawing, overall design, aerodynamic calculation, load distribution, weight distribution, strength calculation and other work have been completed.

Finally, the design was made for my country's first independently developed small transport aircraft, the "Zhongyun-1".

If these people could come to the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tianyang was confident that he could make the J-6 appear in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianyang smiled and asked, "I wonder if Comrade Huang Zhefu is still in contact with his former comrades?"

"What is Chief Zhao talking about?"

Huang Zhefu's face changed slightly: "Ever since I turned from evil to good and put order out of chaos, I have completely said goodbye to the past!"

"Haha, Comrade Huang Zhefu, don't be anxious!"

Zhao Tianyang patted Huang Zhefu on the shoulder and said, "I mean, can you contact the researchers at the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and ask them to come to us?"

"I heard that since the Italians left, they have become wild children who are not loved by their parents."

"Why not just let them come to us? Although our conditions are a bit poor, the support from above is great!"

Huang Zhefu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Zhao Tianyang's explanation, but he still had no hope of persuading those scientific researchers to defect.

"Chief Zhao, you know that the Kuomintang government has never publicly promoted our Eighth Route Army."

"Even if those researchers don't have a good time over there, in their opinion, it's much better than coming here."

"Then can't you think of a solution? You can do it anyway, so why can't they?"

Zhao Tianyang asked a little anxiously.

"Chief Zhao, this situation is different!"

Huang Zhefu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "Oh, Chief Zhao, forget it."

"Unless our Eighth Route Army can accomplish something that shocks China and the world, those researchers will not come to us!"

"I see. It's to improve your reputation, right?"

Zhao Tianyang's heart moved. It seemed that he would have to wait for a while.

"Forget it, let's go take a look at this plane!"

Seeing that Zhao Tianyang had given up the idea of ​​asking him to contact scientific researchers, Huang Zhefu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he came to the plane with great interest and began to look at it carefully.

"This aircraft is made entirely of wood, with a length of 12.43 meters, a wingspan of 16.51 meters, a height of 4.65 meters, a weight of 5.94 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of 11 tons."

"Maximum speed 500 kilometers per hour, service ceiling 1 kilometers, maximum range 1 kilometers, climb rate 4000 meters per minute."

"Two 950-horsepower twin-row 14-cylinder radial air-cooled engines."

“The performance is amazing!”

Huang Zhefu tapped the fuselage with his hand and asked: "Have you ever done a wind tunnel test?"

"Wind tunnel test?"

Zhao Tianyang spread his hands and said, "Do you think we have the conditions?"

“All these data are calculated.”

"Calculate it?"

Huang Zhefu was stunned: "Then the wood used to make the plane is not fresh wood!"

"Look at what you said."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "Fresh wood can't be made into composite boards. Don't worry, we dry them with fire!"

"drying?"

Huang Zhefu was a little panicked: "Will the plane not be deformed after it takes off?"

"Don't worry, we use composite panels and phenolic resin adhesive to fix the shape, so the aircraft will not deform in a short period of time."

Zhao Tianyang patted his chest and assured: "I have calculated that within half a year, there will be no problems with the composite board!"

"What about half a year later?"

Huang Zhefu asked.

"A new plane, of course!"

Zhao Tianyang said as a matter of course: "Our plane is made entirely of wood, so it won't be a big deal to replace it."

"After a year or two, when we have shade-dried wood, the aircraft's service life can be extended to two or three years."

"Fine!"

Huang Zhefu nodded with difficulty. Based on the amazing data of this plane, he decided to gamble his life.

“When will the test flight begin?”

"Why are you in such a hurry? Eat first. Have a good rest and get enough energy. Tomorrow morning, we will start the test flight!"

"Row!"
