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

Chapter 538: Naked Poaching

Although this statement is arrogant.

But there is some truth to it.

Because vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are really useless.

The range is short and the ammunition load is seriously insufficient.

This is for the Dongda team, which has a fear of fire.

But it is a very big loss.

In addition, the accident rate of all vertical take-off and landing fighter jets remains high.

Even among the f-35 series, the f-35b with vertical take-off and landing capability has the highest accident rate in the series.

As of 2025, more than ten years later.

A total of 35 F-35 series fighter jets crashed, of which more than % were F-Bs.

As for the originator of vertical take-off and landing fighters, the Harrier fighter, as well as the AV-8B, Yak-38, Yak-141, Mirage III-V
All of the above fighters have vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

All of them have disadvantages such as short range, insufficient payload, high accident rate, and difficulty in design and manufacturing.

Therefore, this type of fighter did not become the mainstream of Blue Star fighters.

And gradually being eliminated.

As of now.

Only the F-35B has vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

Others include Russia's MiG and Flanker, France's Mirage and Rafale, many European countries' Typhoons, Sweden's Gripen, and Tokyo's "Dragon" series.

None of them have developed vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

Maybe someone will say.

The reason why vertical take-off and landing is not developed is that the technology is not up to standard.

What a fallacy!

Dongda’s engine is indeed limited.

However, both the Russians and French have successfully developed vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

The Harrier fighter, the forerunner of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, was first invented by the British.

Even the Brits have abandoned the genre now.

This is enough to show that this technology is really useless.

Not worth mentioning.

Of course.

Vertical take-off and landing aircraft are not completely useless.

For example, it has high flexibility in take-off and landing, low dependence on airports, strong adaptability to aircraft carriers, excellent low-altitude performance, etc.

But these advantages are even more insignificant than the disadvantages.

Because it’s already 2014.

Active phased array radar has become widely used.

The fighter jets have already entered beyond-visual-range combat mode.

Medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers have long been tested in actual combat.

The range of a vertical take-off and landing fighter is less than one thousand kilometers, and it cannot even carry a medium- and long-range air-to-air missile.

So what is the use of this fighter?

I guess its combat capability is not as good as the Tejas fighter jet of India next door.

At this moment.

The group has entered the family area.

There are more than ten low buildings in the family quarters.

The layouts of these buildings are similar.

Three rooms and one living room.

About one hundred square meters.

All officers and non-commissioned officers with families in the base can apply for a house from the base management department.

Because housing supply exceeds demand.

So as long as you bring your family members to the base, they will have a set of housing ready for you to move into.

Soldiers and single officers cannot enjoy this benefit.

Can only live in a single apartment.

The single apartment has one bedroom and one living room, about 40 square meters.

Captain Qin got married a long time ago.

Moreover, my wife and children came to the base two or three years ago.

Their home was on the third floor of the first building in the family quarters. So after the group entered the family quarters, it was equivalent to arriving downstairs of his building.

Gong Yuanlei saw that he and others were about to reach their destination.

I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the questions Jiang Chen asked were too tricky.

And I don’t know from which channel this kid got so much confidential information.

So even though Gong Yuanlei knew everything, he still sometimes sweated silently in his heart.

Jiang Chen didn't think the questions he asked were tricky.

Because these questions were all posts he saw when he was browsing Hupu and other forums in his previous life.

In other words.

His questions now seem tricky and even confidential.

But waited a few years.

It has become a common product that almost everyone knows.

"Oh, right."

Jiang Chen spoke again.

After entering the corridor and preparing to climb the stairs, Gong Yuanlei's heart suddenly tightened.

This kid.

Are you going to ask some tricky questions again?

Jiang Chen did not notice Gong Yuanlei's abnormality, but continued to ask, "Commander, if someone accidentally falls off the deck of an aircraft carrier, what is the probability of survival?"

Gong Yuanlei felt a little relieved.

The answer was immediately, "0."

"0?" Jiang Chen was a little confused.

The others also looked at Gong Yuanlei with curiosity.

Gong Yuanlei continued, "Yes, the probability is 0. Because the aircraft carrier 001 once conducted an experiment, which was to drop an orange-red inflatable ball with a diameter of one meter to simulate a crew member falling. When the inflatable ball was dropped, the first-level alarm was immediately activated and the rescue process was carried out. However, the inflatable ball completely disappeared from the moment it was dropped. Even though a GPS positioning system was installed in the inflatable ball in advance, the inflatable ball could not be found."

"You can imagine how low the chances of survival are if a person falls off the deck of an aircraft carrier."

Jiang Chen smacked his lips, "Is it so dangerous?"

"Haha." Gong Yuanlei said with a smile, "There are many unknown dangers."

"So working on an aircraft carrier is a dance with death."

"Especially the pilots of carrier-based aircraft, they are dancing on the edge of a knife."

"If you're not careful, there might be nothing left."

"So if you are someone who seeks excitement, I really suggest that you switch to the naval aviation force. With your talent and ability, although you may not be able to board the 001 aircraft carrier, you can definitely become a member of the carrier-based aircraft flight squadron of the 002 or 003 aircraft carrier."

"Imagine, the blue sea and blue sky, you are flying a silver-gray eagle over the sea, dealing with enemy aircraft, deterring surrounding scoundrels, and even intruding into the airspace under the jurisdiction of other countries to deter and warn your enemies."

"How satisfying and thrilling is this?"

“This is the life that young people should pursue.”

"In ancient times, Huo Qubing conquered the Wolf's Lair. Now, you, Jiang Chen, are breaking into the enemy camp alone."

"This is a great opportunity to go down in history, little brother."

"If I were you, I would never hesitate. If there is a chance, I would definitely choose to fly a carrier-based aircraft."
Chief Engineer Zhao, Cheng Ziang and others watched with a smile as Gong Yuanlei blatantly poached employees.

As for Jiang Chen.

He had no expression on his face.

If he was really only eighteen or nineteen years old.

I guess he was really incited by these words.

But he is no longer an eighteen-year-old young man, but nineteen.

Nineteen.

has matured.

A few highly inflammatory words could no longer incite him.

So he said with a smile, "I do want to fly a carrier-based aircraft if I have the chance, but forget it now."

"You just said that if you take big steps, you'll probably hurt your balls."

"I don't even know how to fly an air force, how dare I fly a carrier-based aircraft?"

Gong Yuanlei was stunned.
