You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 523: Experience the Power of Nature

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

It was obvious that he didn't believe what Cheng Ziang said.

Is Kong Si feeling bored because of his idleness?
Why are you messing with me?

It must be that Shenfei and the test flight team felt that my skills were not strong enough.

That's why I was allowed to follow that group of pilots to receive training and assessment during this period.

But these are no longer important.

Anyway, the two or three weeks of "purgatory" are finally over.

Now, the most important thing for Jiang Chen is to quickly test-fly the FC-31 Falcon.

I tested this thing a day earlier.

The sooner I leave this big "prison" surrounded by the desert, the sooner I can leave.

Cheng Ziang saw that Jiang Chen didn't believe it.

He quickly explained, "What I said is true, don't disbelieve it, kid."

"It was Captain Qin who suggested that you follow that group of pilots to take the test at the beginning, but we didn't let you take the test for such a long time. We were also in a hurry, so we only agreed to let you go for one or two weeks."

"Later, the Air Force Headquarters issued an order that you must complete the entire assessment and pass the assessment before you can start the test flight mission."

“So our progress has come to a standstill.”

"And the reason why I asked you to come here today is just because Chief Engineer Zhao wants to start theoretical training with you, not to start the preparations for the FC-31 Falcon flight test."
Jiang Chen finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Looking at Cheng Ziang hesitantly, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Cheng Ziang shrugged.

Jiang Chen scratched the back of his head in confusion, "The order from the commander? I'm just a little Karami, but I actually bothered the commander to give me a special order? It sounds so magical to me, how could I be so worthy of this?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, kid." Cheng Ziang patted his shoulder and said with emotion, "Your performance this year has been almost like a demon. You have already caught the attention of some big shots."

"Do you know that you have been included in the Air Force's talent pool and are being trained as a seed pilot?"

"That is to say, as long as you don't do anything weird and nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely rise to a high position in the future. It's even possible to have wheat ears and gold stars on your shoulder straps."

"So I don't know why you are so impatient."

"If I were you, I would be patient and do my job step by step."

"Didn't you undergo a tolerance test some time ago?"

"Why don't you just treat your experience during this period as a tolerance test?"
Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly, "I'm not impetuous, but I really have a lot of things waiting for me."

"But you are right. If it is really Kong Si's order, then no matter how impetuous I am, I can't change the outcome."

"So just think of it as a tolerance test spanning several months."

Cheng Ziang saw that he had come to terms with it.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Haha, it's good once you figure it out. It's good once you figure it out."

"Let's go then."

"Chief Engineer Zhao and the others are waiting for us."

"All the envelopes you have flown before are called practical envelopes. Although the flight envelope is a course in the second semester of the freshman year, I heard that you have been self-studying until the senior year, so I will try to be as concise as possible. It should be okay."

Inside the hangar.

Chief Engineer Zhao held a marker in his hand and pointed at the whiteboard behind him while speaking to Jiang Chen who was standing in front of him.

Jiang Chen nodded.

Chief Engineer Zhao saw this.

He immediately turned around and drew a simple diagram on the whiteboard, and continued, "But what I want to explain to you today is another kind of envelope - the theoretical envelope."

“The theoretical envelope is calculated by the designer.”

“To put it bluntly, the theoretical envelope only exists in the designer’s theory. It is a limit envelope.”

"One of the biggest roles of a test pilot is to test fly in this extreme zone."

“Not only do we need to test the performance to its limits, but we also need to avoid all possible failures.”

"Report unreasonable designs to the scientific research department to ensure that each finalized aircraft has no bugs and that our comrades on the front line can operate and drive without any psychological burden."

“Airplanes are designed, but they are also flown.”

"So test pilots must be designers and engineers who can fly."
Chief Engineer Zhao explained very seriously, and Jiang Chen also listened very carefully.

Chief Engineer Zhao spent more than half an hour explaining the theoretical envelope alone.

Then he explained all the data of the FC-31 Falcon fighter.

The test flight videos of aircraft No. 001 to No. 004 were also played.

And cases of accidents and failures.

More than two hours later.

Chief Engineer Zhao has become so thirsty from talking.

He unscrewed the cap of the thermos and took a big sip of water.

Then he said in a hoarse voice, "That's all for today."

Jiang Chen saw this.

Only then did he put down the pen in his hand.

Chief Engineer Zhao took another big sip of water before continuing, "We were too simplistic before."

"I thought that with your physical fitness and talent, you should be able to be a test pilot for the FC-31 Falcon."

"But after I actually came to 'Yaodongdong', I realized how difficult it is to become a qualified test pilot."

"So I hope you won't be impatient, and don't have any resistance to the assessment."

“Good food never comes late.”

"After you finish the assessment and training during this period, we can officially start the test flight mission of FC-31 Falcon 005."

There was no extra expression on Jiang Chen's face.

You Shen Fei are not in a hurry.

Why am I in such a hurry?

"Chief Engineer Zhao, since aircraft No. 001 to No. 004 all had professional test pilots to help, why did you come to me, a half-baked one, this time?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Chief Engineer Zhao took another big sip of water.

Then he said, "In fact, every time we beg for help, we beg for help from everywhere to find a test pilot to help with the test flight."

"This time I have to ask for your help, Mr. Kong."

"So finding you was just a coincidence."

Jiang Chen nodded.

understood.

You guys are just trying to hit the target without any result.

It just happened to hit me.

"Then how long should I wait?" Jiang Chen asked again, "Although you and Old Cheng told me not to be impatient, you still have to give me a definite answer so that I can have some confidence."

"It's almost done." Chief Engineer Zhao said helplessly, "You're anxious, but I'm more anxious than you."

"But again, this thing really can't be rushed."

"One day when Qin Yuanshan says that you have passed the assessment and are a qualified test pilot, then our test flight work can officially begin."

Jiang Chen's face was immediately filled with helplessness.

Then we have to wait until the end of time?

"Don't sigh. You are a young man full of vigor and vitality, not an old man who is about to die. Why are you in such a hurry?" Chief Engineer Zhao said, "It's nothing more than a delay of one or two months. What's the matter? You don't even have one or two months?"

"That's not true."

Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Just about to continue talking.

At this moment.

An officer from the test flight team suddenly walked in.

Looking at Jiang Chen, he said, "Mr. Qian, I just received a call from the brigade. The station is about to be hit by a sandstorm. The captain wants to ask if you dare to experience the might of nature with him?"
