Chapter 210 An unexpected old friend
Chapter 210 An unexpected old friend
The party ended and everyone dispersed in front of the restaurant door.
Bai Xi and his friends have to catch a 6 o'clock flight tomorrow morning, so they have to go back and rest early.
Yang Ru said, "You may have a hard time tomorrow, so go back and get some rest. I have some things to take care of over there. I'm taking a military flight to Shencheng tonight, so I won't be on the same plane with you."
At the ceremony on the 26th, Bai Xi and his team's plane was also on the 26th, highlighting a forced march.
There is a certain purpose for this arrangement. People from all walks of life were invited to this "appearance", including a large number of experts and senior veterans in the aviation system.
With so many people from the same field coming from all over the country, it is inevitable that they will attract the attention of those who are interested. If something is noticed, the surprise will no longer be a surprise.
所以关于白溪一行人的安排是:6:30最早一班飞机出发,9:30左右抵达沈城会有人接,12:00点之前进入611研究所,然后参加14:00点左右的仪式。
The arrangement is very tight, with the main focus on a sudden attack on others and also a sudden attack on one's own people...
.......
November 26, 11 am, Shenyang Taoxian Airport.
Bai Xi walked out of the VIP lounge and exhaled a breath of white air. At the end of November in Shenyang, the temperature was close to below zero. Although it had not snowed yet, it was still very cold.
At the airport pick-up point was an old acquaintance who had been waiting for a long time, Chen Guorong, who was specifically responsible for reception at the 611 Institute.
Chen Guorong came up to greet him with a smile, exchanged pleasantries, and then said, "President Bai, please forgive me, I have a lot of people to meet today, so I won't accompany you back to the factory. Please follow our people and leave first."
Bai Xi shook hands with Chen Guorong and asked quietly, "Who were the guests?"
Chen Guorong also whispered back, "Don't embarrass me in public. You'll know when you get to the institute."
Bai Xi waved his hands regretfully, having failed to eat the melon, and turned around to lead the team towards the parking lot.
As the exposure approached, the confidentiality of the 611 Institute was relaxed, especially for guests who came to watch the ceremony.
There will be many first-time visitors today.
Unlike the last time, when Bai Xi and his group came to Shencheng, they were Shen Fei's only guests.
This time, Bai Xi and her friends were just guests.
Do not......
To be precise, they are not guests either. Theoretically speaking...
This is also Baixi's home ground.
.......
As soon as she entered the research institute, Bai Xi saw Guan Yuanchao, who had received the news, waving to her in the welcoming team.
Bai Xi felt a little guilty, so he took Xiao Rui and Xu Zhiwen out of the car and greeted the old man.
"Bai girl, you said you would come to see us? It's been almost half a year!"
"Ahem... I've been a bit busy lately. Look, I came here as soon as I had some free time!"
"Forget it! If it's not the first flight, I don't think you'll be able to come next year!"
Guan Yuanchao bluntly exposed her excuse.
Bai Xi had no choice but to coax the old man a few times and swear that he would come often in the future. Only then did he appease the old man.
After chatting for a while, someone came and led Bai Xi and his group to the reception room. They could not enter the hangar yet as it was full and busy. If they went there, they would probably cause trouble.
The significance of this time is different from the past. Excluding the equally important safety issues, even if there are problems with the "real first flight", we can pull it back and improve it quietly.
And today, with so many people invited, if something goes wrong, Shen Fei will lose all his face.
It brings shame to the organization as well.
But....except Baixi.
As one of the designers of "Xuanniao", she does have some prestige.
After waving goodbye to Xiao Rui and the others, Bai Xi followed Guan Yuanchao and got in the institute's car and headed towards the hangar.
.......
After passing through many checkpoints, Bai Xi entered the hangar.
Not to mention the officers and soldiers who were armed with live ammunition, even Guan Yuanchao had his identity checked three times.
As soon as he entered the hangar, Bai Xi's eyes lit up.
Because there were not one plane parked there...but two!
Two black birds, one in front and one behind, their huge bodies reflecting a silver-gray luster. Even Bai Xi had never seen this scene before.
After the successful development of the prototype, Shenfei produced another one and established a production line. Two more have been basically assembled and are quietly lying in the factory...
One of the two aircraft in front of him was the prototype that Bai Xi had seen on the "real first flight" before, and it was also the Xuanniao that later carried out the mission in Gansu Province.
This time both were recalled so that there would be a spare just in case.
But the condition... is a little unusual, the surface of the body has been painted.
To be precise, some paint-like things were pasted on it, with black stripes and broken lines, the longest of which stretched from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.
Bai Xi frowned, a little confused: "What is this?"
In theory, the skin material of the "Xuanniao" is the "Liangyi" composite material discovered from the "Kunpeng". The best option is not to paint it. In other words, painting will affect the reflection area of the "Xuanniao" and reduce its stealth performance.
Could someone improve the skinning process given by the system? Add something to it?
Guan Yuanchao explained, "Well, this is just a smokescreen. The footage will be released to the world and will undoubtedly be studied frame by frame. While they won't be able to figure anything out, this paint job will confuse them further, increasing their workload and uncertainty. Anyway, we're flying our own aircraft, and we don't really care about 'stealth performance,' right?"
Bai Xi suddenly understood and nodded in understanding...
This is something I didn't expect. This method can indeed have a confusing effect.
After taking a rough tour of the factory, Bai Xi did not stay any longer and left the hangar from the side. The two old men, Zhou Hang and Guan Yuanchao, were still busy, so she did not want to waste time here.
And she had to return to the audience and participate in this "debut" from the audience's perspective.
This ceremony will be filmed and broadcast live to completely eliminate any possibility of doubt.
The venue was at the 611 Institute's own airport, and the audience seats were under the tower a few miles away, where there were stadium-like tiered seats, and all the invited guests were there.
There are some simple decorations, but it also reveals the rustic military atmosphere.
When Bai Xi arrived, quite a few people had already gathered here.
At a rough glance, there are about two hundred of them.
I thought to myself, wow, what a big deal.
Bai Xi looked around, trying to find Xiao Rui and the others.
Xiao Rui and the others didn't find it, but they saw a...
An unexpected figure.
An old man with a beard but no hair, his beard as white as snow, skinny but standing straight.
The old man was wearing a neat old-fashioned military uniform and sitting in the front of everyone, like a withered but still towering old pine tree.
Bai Xi laughed unconsciously, waved his hands from afar and shouted.
"Old man Lu!"
