Chapter 8: Towards Tomorrow (5)

The helicopter will land on the mothership soon, and all the passengers will disembark and go to the activity room next to the CIC (Combat Command Center) to attend the welcome party.[Zhou Yanhong just went to show his face, and by the way, made a bet on the register.I have to face a lot of onboarding inspections.Boss Kui, Boss Kui, the trouble should have been yours!

He slipped Soqueti over in fantasy, put on a suit and became his shield.But the false images in the mind were quickly replaced by the surging scenes in reality. A wingspan of more than a hundred meters, like a flying fortress in Kunpeng's present world, was exposed to dense clouds at this moment and broke into the field of vision extremely domineeringly.

The "Vacuum Arc", a strategic cruiser weighing 8,662 tons, soared among the white clouds, the steel giant broke through the huge waves.Suo Zhongwu's Ka-231 transport helicopter is like a tiny flying ant in comparison. However, the giant whale did not swallow the mini buddy in one bite. It used radio and laser to send a welcome signal at the same time, and then lifted the plane lightly. Head, actively began to climb.

The squally wind rushed over the wings, pulling out turbulent air currents at the wing tips and other places, like white ribbons.Eighteen fusion deflagration engines rumbled and steadily lifted a 10,000-ton giant. At the same time, the vast blue and purple sky drew a trail that was more than half a mile wide and stretched infinitely.

"..."

Suo Zhongwu put his entire face on the round window, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.As the distance gets closer, the appearance and characteristics of the "Vacuum Arc" become clearer:

It adopts a flying wing layout with an excellent lift-to-drag ratio. The bat-shaped giant wing easily lifts the thick fuselage, smiling at the disturbing air resistance; directly behind the cockpit (bridge), there is a twin The turret, the streamlined fairing is like a drop of water. The electromagnetic gun barrel carrying it is long and has a caliber of more than 100 mm. The broad back of the aircraft is a map of Pingchuan. There are a total of four prototype helicopter landing platforms. , Raise the baffle (with air jet) at the same time as the brother on the right.

The sudden increase in resistance made the body tremble significantly.However, the ailerons, flaps and dozens of large and small automatic nozzles immediately worked together under the control of the main control computer to change the "Vacuum Arc" back to a smooth flight.The navigation laser was fired and a flash was drawn across the retina. The autopilot of the helicopter responded immediately, first retracting the auxiliary short wing, and then releasing the wheeled landing gear. The coaxial twin rotors continuously change the tilt angle, and the fuselage gently Pull to the landing platform.

The driver and the co-pilot looked out the window intently and made corrections manually from time to time.After half a minute, the helicopter finally achieved a parallel route with the "Vacuum Arc", and the vertical distance from the landing platform was as low as less than six meters, and it was completely within the protection range of the baffle.Four "whaling forks" immediately protruded from both sides of the fuselage, accompanied by a violent bump, firmly biting the circular grille in the center of the landing platform.

This is an upgraded version of the "Harpoon Assist System." Suo Zhongwu had seen its ancestors on the landing ship during previous sea training.However, the back of the plane was still roaring with squally wind, which made the landing gear creak, so the helicopter did not stay here for long.The landing platform and elevator soon began to descend, sending the helicopter into the brightly-lit hangar, with an unusually thinly armored ceiling, and then overlapping on everyone's head.

The space there is not spacious, much tighter than the dock of the 21st century dock landing ship.After jumping out of the cargo hold, Suo Zhongwu found that there were helicopters parked all around, including coaxial twin rotors such as the Ka-231, and tilt rotors similar to the V-22 Osprey, either twin-engine or four-engine. More than ten.

The ground crew, dressed in gray or blue overalls, were busy at their respective seats.Many people cast curious glances at the guests, and then pointed at the armor and flintlock rifles.This is also something that can't be helped. The Western Scenery is all close to it. Wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't look at it?

Zhou Yanhong, the "local ruler" and the Zhenyang army who stayed forever, was also curious about everything in the hangar.When he first got off the helicopter, he was first attracted by the many aircraft around him, and then moved his gaze to the sky shed, admiring the structure that does not rely on pillars, but relies entirely on beams and diagonal trusses to support the load.

However, the prince of a country is the prince of a country after all, even if in theory it is only temporary.He quickly stabilized his emotions. While talking with his guide Zheng Weiguo, he took care of his beard for an unknown number of times. The ointment pot and whale-tooth comb were rotated back and forth between his left and right hands. The series of movements was dazzling.

According to the arrangement of the air-conditioner organization, the "local guests" have plenty of time to tidy up their appearance, let alone shave, and there is no problem with taking a bath and dining. If you want to take a nap, there are also private rooms.But Zhou Yanhong couldn't wait any longer. When he was still in the helicopter, he asked Zheng Weiguo to pass on a message, hoping to have a meeting immediately after landing. At this moment, it is the old thing to revisit. Accommodating, so that "the common world of the lower world" express sincere heart.....

Suo Zhongwu has no objection to this. Instead of slowly cutting the meat with a blunt knife, it is better to finish it sooner.[Hurry up and finish the political show and the "job fair".I'm so tired, I have no problem sleeping for three days and three nights.

The person involved in the "Vacuum Arc" seemed to want to resolve the trouble quickly, and soon agreed to Zhou Yanhong's suggestion.Therefore, Zheng Weiguo didn't take a single step when leading the way, and he led the guests into the activity room and officially met with the three senior officers waiting there.

The lighting there is no different from the hangar. They are the most common white LED lights, but the area is as small as a shoe box, and most of the space is occupied by a circular projection table.When standing up to salute, the hosts almost stood against the wall, and the big brimmed hats almost touched the overhead pipeline.

Sticking around the pipe is a familiar anti-neutron lining.This kind of "wallpaper" occupies all the walls, covering the activity room with a thick layer of light yellow. Those who don't know think it is a cheese warehouse.As soon as Suo Zhongwufu entered the door, he was stunned by the decoration style. He really did not expect that the important cabins of such a sci-fi flying fortress would be made like this......Such a cold war style.

The history of the 20th century is not a fond memory. The tens of thousands of nuclear bombs on the launch pad are scary to think about.What makes Suo Zhongwu even more unhappy is that he also thinks of the Earth-Moon War, which is the tragic battle that Zheng Weiguo just introduced.However, it is always difficult for guests to make irresponsible remarks about the decoration of the host’s house. Now that they are at the venue, it’s better to sit down and discuss matters.
