Chapter 474(1/2)
Some people who care about current affairs do not know about Forget-me-reef, but if you mention the Si Nian Island, which is more than 500 kilometers west of the island, it is well known to many people, because the name Si Nian Island often appears in many media reports.
inside.
Li Zhan has a rough impression of Wangwo Reef because the reef corresponds to the Immortal Island - the former is in the east and the latter is in the west.
Judging from the navigation chart, if the South China Sea is compared to the legs of an oriental giant, then Zeng Mu's hidden sand is a big footboard, and Forgetful Reef and Missing Island are like the knees of two legs. How important is this part of the knee to people?
And knowing. It is obvious that the geographical location of Wangwo Reef is very important.
After flying more than 300 kilometers northeastward, he entered the airspace of Wangwo Reef and lifted to a height of 5,000 meters, Li Zhan even suspected that he had seen the land when he looked east. In fact, it was not an illusion, it was a few dozen kilometers away.
Land is a narrow island. Of course, Li Zhan would not have really seen land, just like this in his imagination.
After Li Zhanfanfei communicated with the ground console of Wangwo Reef, he decided to land on High-Tech No. 33 first, and then test No. 16 to open the site once before landing.
High-tech No. 33 landed smoothly. When it was opened, Li Zhan found that the runway on Wangwo Reef was actually an unfinished small airport. The completed runway was about 1,200 meters long and extended from south to north.
There is still a section under construction at the north end. It is roughly estimated that the total length of the runway is between 1,800 meters and 2,000 meters. This standard can take off white-seat passenger aircraft of Airbus-32 billion.
What surprised Li Zhan was that the runway was surrounded by the sea on the north and south sides of the north and west sides, and the breakwaters were obviously filled with artificial land. In fact, not only the runway, but even a trapezoidal land on the east side was probably artificial.
A dock was built on the east side, and several bulk cargo ships were unloading the construction materials. Not far from the southeast end, there were two strange-looking ships operating, and the stern of the ship was spraying sea sand.
A sucking dredger is blowing.
After re-entering the landing route, Li Zhan said with a giggle, "Bonomian Reef, this is almost a Forgetful Island, and it seems that this area is almost as close to a large airport."
Chen Fei smiled and said, "It's no different from a large airport. To be precise, it should be a comprehensive maritime transportation hub. Look at the pier, there is no problem with the mooring of tens of tons of ships."
Smiling, Li Zhan gently pulled the joystick, and the two tires of the main landing gear of the No. 1616 J-16 hit the ground gently. After the front landing gear tire hit the ground, Li Zhan released the double speed reduction parachute, and the fighter glided for four hundred times.
After a few meters, the speed dropped to twenty kilometers per hour and drove to the side according to the instructions of the ground guide vehicle.
What makes people laugh and cry is that the ground guide truck is a wheeled forklift!
The huge tire of the forklift was still stuck with mud, and it was obviously driven from the construction site. The red and white sign hanging behind the cockpit was obviously a rush to work. The letter was written: Please follow me!
There are large slogans hanging on the construction site not far away: Work hard for a hundred days!
Under the guidance of the wheeled forklift, Li Zhan controlled the J-16, which was no higher than the forklift, to drive to the side of the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, and stopped. There was a basically completed apron and a low bungalow on one side.
The frame should be a supporting facility with the apron, with workers decorating it. A little further away, you can see several two- or three-story buildings, surrounded by green trees, the largest of which is a three-story building.
There is a radar base at the top, and the radar cover should be a dual-purpose radar for air to sea, and perhaps it will be a relatively advanced three-coordinate radar.
The two soldiers ran over with wooden ladders, and after the canopy hood was opened, they quickly set up the ladders. There was no boarding ladder for matching fighter jets here, and it was not necessarily a J-16. The J-11 series included imported ones.
The boarding ladders used by Sukhoi fighter are all OK. Don’t underestimate the boarding ladder. Whether the use of this thing is conveniently related to the dispatch rate of the fighter.
It is obvious that in a temporary emergency, we can only try our best to solve the problem of the boarding ladder.
Li Zhan discovered that the officers and soldiers of the reef guards carefully wrapped the two ends of the ladder with soft cloth to achieve the purpose of protecting the paint surface of the fighter. Li Zhan was immediately moved, and such details fully reflected the reef guards.
All efforts made by the officers and soldiers of the troops after receiving emergency orders from superiors.
After Li Zhan got off the plane, he moved the ladder to the rear cabin to pick up Chen Fei.
Several school officials were waiting below. Li Zhan quickly took off his flight helmet and strode over to salute under his ribs, "Hello, Li Zhan, the pilot of the front cabin of the No. 16 test aircraft crew of the Aircraft System, the leader!"
Chen Fei also came to his side at the right time and saluted, "Hello, the pilot of the rear cabin of the Aircraft Corporation No. 16 Project Test Aircraft Unit, Chiefs!"
"Captain Chen! I dare not take this or not! You are the leader." A middle-aged man from the deputy lieutenant colonel quickly waved his hand and said.
Chen Fei smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary pilot."
He pointed at Li Zhan and introduced him to everyone, "Comrade Li Zhan is the leader of our crew and is also a member of the Aircraft Corporation's No. 16 Project Acceptance Team."
"Captain Li, Commander Chen, welcome to Wanger Reef. I am the navy's reef guard unit... Zhong Guobang." The middle-aged lieutenant colonel deputy regiment smiled and shook hands with Li Zhan and Chen Fei, "That is, the reef leader of Wanger Reef.
These are leaders of the Navy Engineering Department, and they are responsible for the selfless airport project."
Another greeting.
Li Zhan found that although Zhong Guobang looked at him and smiled, the firmness between his eyebrows and eyes showed that this person was not a person who was tempted by the flames and was completely formulaic in his politeness to Chen Fei. The man's skin color was typical of tropical black, which could be seen guarding the reef.
It's been a long time. Such a person may not feel any fear when he sees the head of the military region. In fact, anyone who stays in the vast sea for a few years will not care about anything.
Tropical black and plateau red are all very difficult and highly respectable troops.
Li Zhan was very polite to Zhong Guobang. He deserved no matter how high the respect the officers and soldiers guarding the reef were.
"Li Zhan, you are Li Zhan, our reef guards all know you." Zhong Guobang said to Li Zhan with a smile.
Li Zhan was very surprised now, "Chief, how could you know me?"
Zhong Guobang said, "The Mad Dog of the South China Sea, you are a powerful auxiliary to our reef guards. Hahaha, now some people will scare you away when they hear your name, which saves us a lot of trouble."
Li Zhan smiled awkwardly and waved his hand and said, "One is just a false name."
"Hahaha!" Zhong Guobang smiled heartily, "Chief Staff Wu is waiting for you in the lounge. I'll take you over and get in the car."
Zhong Guobang pointed to the pickup truck and asked Li Zhan and Chen Fei to get on the car.
Everyone in the engineering department has gone to do their own things. Zhong Guobang took Li Zhan and Chen Fei to the living area. On the way, he introduced, "The road on the reef has been basically completed, and three phases have been planned. Now, the second phase is going on.
The third phase mainly consists of civil life sectors. After all, Wangwo Reef will become an important maritime transportation hub, of course, mainly for civil use."
Zhong Guobang pointed to the southeast side and said, "After it is completed, three 10,000-ton ships can be parked at the same time and berth directly. All the engineering materials we use now, including silt, sand and stones, are all transported from the mainland, so the port construction is
The first one to start.”
"Did you see the one on the east side? The long-term plan is a civil living area, creating a tropical tourism and vacation area. Although it is far away from the mainland, the tropical ocean scenery is quite beautiful. Oh, there is a shallow reef area underwater over there, fill in the water.
It is easier to build land in sea."
After introducing the road, I arrived at the living area in a few minutes. After looking at the distance, the living area was actually only seven or eight hundred meters away from the runway. Zhong Guobang specially asked the driver to go around in a circle so that Li Zhan and the others had a preliminary understanding of Wangwo Reef.
know.
Chen Fei said, "After the completion of the Forget-Own Reef, it will probably become a very important military base in this area and an important node in the coastal defense strategy."
"No, no, no, I can't say that. Our reef is mainly used for civilian purposes." Zhong Guobang smiled and waved his hand quickly.
"I understand." Chen Fei nodded with a smile.
Li Zhan looked at the surrounding environment, and his eyes were a little further away. The vast sea and the azure sky, which might turn against each other. Living here will really be selfless.
Stopped in front of a three-story building with radar on the roof. When getting off the bus, Zhong Guobang pointed to the radar and said, "It's a coincidence that you are coming soon. A tropical storm is coming and attacking my reef head-on. You probably want to be in
Stay here for at least two nights.”
Li Zhan suddenly realized, "Did you see the officers and soldiers all over the way to defend against typhoons?"
"I'm used to it. I have to prevent typhoon and wind every now and then. Don't think that the weather is pretty good now, it changes as soon as you say it. Sometimes the meteorological radar cannot be accurately measured," said Zhong Guobang.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "That's not a weather radar, right?"
"Multi-purpose." Zhong Guobang smiled and invited them in.
Li Zhan asked, "There is an underground hangar? Is the plane okay?"
Zhong Guobang said, "After receiving the order from the superior, we will immediately conduct urgent discussions and research with the people from the engineering department, and finally come up with two plans. I will now discuss with you which plan to choose. Please do here."
It was obviously a small conference room. Wu Feiyou's crew was already waiting inside. There was lunch on the conference table. Zhong Guobang called everyone to sit down and have dinner first.
Lunch was over long ago. After receiving the order, Zhong Guobang quickly instructed the kitchen to make lunch with the highest standards. These are because Zhong Guobang knew that good food supplements were very important to pilots. Some of them were reluctant to eat.
All the fresh vegetables and fruits were taken out.
Zhong Guobang sat down and said, "When the tropical storm reaches my reef, a typhoon is likely to form. The meteorological observatory forecast shows that the maximum wind power can reach level 13, and the expected landing time is 9 o'clock in the evening. The full schedule will be less than twelve hours. You
I will talk about the two solutions in detail.”
Li Zhan greeted Wu Feiyou, nodded one after another, and listened with his ears while raising his mouth.
Zhong Guobang said, "The two underground hangars are under construction, so they cannot be used for the time being. Even if they can use Chief Wu's plane, they cannot be put down. The two underground hangars were built according to the size of the fighter. Team Leader Li's plane is good.
The solution is that the main building of the maintenance hangar has been completed, and the crew will drag it in when they come. Now the two solutions are mainly aimed at Chief Wu’s large aircraft.”
He said, "The first option is to take off and return to the mainland before the typhoon lands. The transport plane sent by the superiors is expected to arrive at our reef in three hours, bringing enough fuel and refueling equipment. The second option is to fix the plane.
, but this plan cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the aircraft."
After saying that, Zhong Guobang looked at Wu Feiyou and saw what Wu Feiyou chose.
Wu Feiyou thought for a while and said, "The first plan is, you should be able to complete the fuel before the typhoon lands. I will drive it back directly. It's too late to implement the second plan."
Li Zhan said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back together, and there are still twelve hours left to go."
"Captain Li, you may not be too late." Zhong Guobang said, "The transport plane on the road did not carry refueling equipment that matched your plane. The superiors are mobilizing urgently, and it was too late before the typhoon landed."
Li Zhan and Chen Fei looked at each other, and Li Zhan smiled and said, "It's really not yet calmed down and another wave is coming to invade again. It seems that I'm going to stay on Forgetful Reef for one night."
"It's quite comfortable to stay for a few more nights." Zhong Guobang said with a smile.
He looked at Wu Feiyou and said, "Chief Staff Wu, is that settled?"
"Yes, Zhong Jiao is the chief. Our crew will conduct maintenance on the plane later. Do you think it is convenient to arrange a few soldiers for me?" Wu Feiyou said with a smile.
In addition to the captain, co-pilot, radio correspondent and navigator, the Hi-Tech Unit No. 33 also has a mechanic who is fully capable of performing simple maintenance of the aircraft.
Seeing this, Li Zhan thought in his heart that he must strengthen the learning and mastery of maintenance knowledge of the aircraft model in the future. In this way, even if there is no corresponding ground support force, he can still carry out a certain degree of combat aircraft.
Simple repair.
