C961 One after Another They Arrived
The three divisions were here, and they were all using the same J-7 Combat Jets. They were led by the first battalion of the nine divisions, and there were 12 of them. Depending on the fighter jets on the plateau was much harder than on the plains.
For example, the ground service personnel were in a lack of oxygen on the plateau. To adapt to the climate here, they also had to carry out heavy maintenance tasks for fighter jets. The fighter aircraft also needed a set of techniques to start up at a altitude of a few thousand meters.
For the sake of the motherland, they silently guarded the border and worked hard day and night. Now, after receiving a new mission, they were even more prepared.
At this time, in the base's tower, Qin Guan and the others were sitting around the heating system. Although there was no altitude reaction, this cold weather was even more difficult to adapt to than in Grassland City.
"Generally speaking, to go to the plateau, we have to first adapt to the surrounding low-altitude areas." Captain Kong of the Third Sky Division said, "If you fly directly to our place, I'm afraid that some people's bodies won't be able to take it!"
In the future, there would be a direct route to the highland, and there would be no need for long trains and dangerous cars. However, it seemed very comfortable to take a plane, but it had a huge drawback. That was, people had to adapt to this high altitude all of a sudden. When some people got off the plane and entered the hotel, they would not be able to get up.
Now, the base here was deliberately built in a low-altitude area, which was at least three thousand meters high. What Captain Kong said was the truth.
He had been stationed here for some time, and his body had long adapted to the thin air here. His skin was bronze in color, and it was formed under the perennial intense ultraviolet sun rays. The other people in the base were the same.
He continued to sigh and said, "We really need a kind of plateau helicopter. Our soldiers stationed at the border are sometimes sick, but they can't be treated in time!"
Why must we get a helicopter from the plateau? Of course, this was related to the current situation. It was in the southwestern part of the motherland. They were both on the plateau, and the border here also needed warriors to guard it. Once one entered the outpost at the border, it might take half a year. It might even take a year for it to come down. In winter, the snow sealed off the mountains. No one could go up. Once someone fell sick, it was very terrifying.
These soldiers, for the sake of the motherland, gave up their youth. Now, they even had to give up their lives because they couldn't be treated in time. This really shouldn't be the case.
If there was a helicopter on the plateau, everything would be different.
"Yeah, we must have a helicopter with advanced performance." On the side, the Air Force Commander General Zhang said, "This test is very important."
Next to General Zhang, there was also an oxygen bottle. He needed to take a few breaths from time to time. Qin Guan admired General Zhang.
The conditions here were terrible. General Zhang was old, after all. He should not have come. However, he knew that it was important to bring in a helicopter. It was a hundred-year-old plan, so he insisted on coming.
In the end, he started to take in oxygen as soon as he got to the plateau.
General Zhang's spirit made Qin Guan admire him quite a bit.
As they were talking, a rumbling sound came from the distant sky. When they heard the sound, they looked outside and saw that it was still the dolphin helicopter. It was the first one to fly over.
The people of Chicken Country wanted to get the order and sell their main helicopter, so they were the first to fly up.
That smooth appearance, especially the cult-type oar at the tail, also looked pretty good.
The pilot piloted the helicopter and landed steadily on the empty space beside the airport. There were already white circles drawn there, specially prepared for the helicopter.
The pilot deliberately showed off and steadily landed the helicopter in the white circle. It looked like the technology was pretty good. Then, the engine stopped.
The pilot and the co-pilot walked down from the cockpit in high spirits.
Behind them, the Bale 212 from Bale also flew over. It had no intention of going to the plateau. Therefore... This helicopter did not deliberately increase its power. Now, its engine was constantly emitting black smoke. Apparently, it didn't have enough power, because the oxygen content in the air was reduced. It caused the combustion to be imperfect, and its flight was quite stable. But it didn't dare to make any random movements.
The pilot of Chicken Country pointed at the sky and seemed to be mocking them. When the 212 helicopter of Bale landed, Qin Guan immediately saw something.
As expected, in terms of business, the people of Chicken Country far surpassed the people of Y Country. In the 212 helicopter of Bale, there were five or six people. Their weight was increased. Of course, the flying performance was even worse. As for the dolphin helicopter of Chicken Country... There were only two pilots inside. These people from Y Country were really bold. They were not afraid of the plane falling down. Were the people behind them all smashed into meat paste?
The Chicken Country pilot pointed at them for a while and also felt cold. Then they came towards the flight preparation room on this side. The cold wind blew on their faces. It was like a knife cutting through their faces. The cold here... It was much stronger than the Bear Country.
"Only these two types of helicopters?" General Zhang said. In his eyes, he could not help but feel disappointed.
These two types of helicopters were too light. According to their own plan, what they needed at the moment was a ten-ton helicopter. These were too light!
When General Zhang asked this, Qin Guan also nodded. "Yes, Sikorsky Company also wants to participate in the bidding, but their helicopters have not arrived yet."
At this moment, Captain Kong said, "The people of Y Country applied for a flight route a few days ago and directly arrived at our base. It seems like the people of Y Country also plan to fly over."0
Flying over? The few of them were very surprised. If they were to fly, what were they waiting for?
At this moment, Lei Dabing shouted, "Target found, height 8000, speed 800."
Height 8000? This was definitely not a helicopter. Helicopters did not have this kind of powerful performance. If it was V- 22 Fish Hawks was more like it.
When he thought of this kind of airplane, a thought flashed across Qin Guan's mind. That's right, why didn't he think of this type of airplane?
If he were to exchange this plane for it. Thinking of this, Qin Guan shook his head. No way, the technological capabilities of this plane were too high. Other things aside, the control system was complicated enough. The engine is also very advanced. We still have to wait for a few more years! Now, the development of aviation technology was mainly limited to the engine. We also need to spend a lot of effort to break through in this aspect.
Just as Qin Guan was thinking, a call came from the sky. "Gumu, Gumu, this is Y Country Air Force's C-130 transport. Requesting to land at Gumu Airport."
"Gumu Airport received. Please continue flying for three minutes and then descend." The navigator on the ground shouted. It turned out that the one flying was Y Country's C-130 transport!
They wanted to test the helicopter, why would the other side send a transport over? Looks like he wanted to show off! Qin Guan couldn't help but think in his heart.
