It turned out that Professor Christian had already infiltrated the airport with a group of people loyal to Dr.
Finch when the Blue Zone was in a mess, and the old professor was the number one boss of the psychiatric department in the Tianmu Company, and it didn't take much effort to get the already weak airport position.
What surprised Long Yun the most was the Tu-144, the earliest model of this type of aircraft was the Tu-144, which has a somewhat inglorious history.
The original design of the aircraft was made possible by Soviet agents who stole the design drawings of the Concorde from the office of the French Space Headquarters, and then improved it, so that it was very similar to the Concorde in appearance and design.
The prototype of the Tu-144 flew near Moscow in 1968, two months before the Concorde, and reached Mach 2 in operation on July 15 of the same year.
It started out as a product of the Cold War, although the Tu-144 set a total of 14 world flight records, including flying to an altitude of 182oo meters with a payload of 3o tons and reaching kilometers on a closed course of 1ooo kilometers, and finally only sporadically flew a few missions related to atmospheric research and astronaut training, most of which were completely grounded by the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It wasn't until 93 that the ill-fated Tu-144 ushered in a new dawn, and NASA took the initiative to ask for cooperation in flight tests, with participants including Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Honeywell and other companies and NASA.
For this purpose, the Tupolev Design Bureau chose the 77321 engine in better condition, and also updated and installed a number of components and test equipment.
From November 29, 1996, the greatly improved aircraft was given a new model, the Tu-144 stands for "Flying Laboratory", which was later put into service at the Gromov Flight Test Base, and by the end of the joint research project in 1999, a total of 27 flights were made, which was also the swan song of the Tu-144 in the sky.
Long Yun noticed that the number of this Tu-144 was 77114, which was obviously the new experimental aircraft that the joint project team had modified that year, but he didn't expect that this artifact, which the former Soviet Union was proud of, would be hidden in the hangar of the Tianmu Company.
"Stunned" Finch noticed Long Yun standing under the plane stunned, glanced at the sound plane, and said proudly: "I didn't expect it, this is the last Tu-144 in the world that can still fly normally, and the others are either dismembered or only the prototype is moldy in the barren grass."
I bought the plane from NASA and used the powers of the DOD. ” "What are you using such a big audio airliner for" Long Yun couldn't believe what was the use of a private technology company buying a passenger plane that could carry 3o tons of cargo and was faster than the Concorde.
"To be honest, I didn't think about its practical value at the time, but I was interested in its history, so I bought it back and had someone modify it, and now it's much better than the Concorde."
Finch said, "Look, aren't we going to use it now?"
He patted Long Yun on the back and said, "Let's go, let's talk on the plane, we're on the run now." ” Everyone rushed in from the gangway, this plane can seat more than a hundred people, and now there are only more than thirty members of the Tianmu Company brought by Professor Christian, and the whole plane seems empty.
"Doctor, who's going to fly the plane" and when the big guys were all seated, Professor Christian suddenly had a very idiotic question, and no one went into the cockpit.
"Professor, aren't you in charge of bringing the pilots here" Finch was petrified.
"This is a big misunderstanding," Professor Christian quickly defended, "I am the head of the psychological counseling department and the logistics support department, and I don't care about equipping this mess." ” Finch suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, there is no pilot, so how can this plane fly "Who's coming from the armament department, raise your hand to see" Four hands were raised in the cabin, and Finch glanced at the few who raised their hands, and shouted at one of them: "Edison, I remember that when this plane came back, you were responsible for organizing the personnel to carry out the modification, will you fly it?"
Edison almost bounced out of his seat, his head shaking like a rattle.
"Doctor, at that time I was only responsible for the modification of the motivation and power system, and you asked me to use the alchemy technology on the aircraft power system, so that it can reach Mach 4 degrees, have you forgotten?"
Falcon, who was sitting next to Edison, said: "Hey, hey, Edison, you don't know how to fly with your modified plane" "What's so strange about that, could it be that all the motivation experts at Boeing fly a Boeing 777," Edison retorted.
Falcon was stunned for a moment, his mouth couldn't be closed, thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, he didn't know how to use it if he knew how to modify, and the whole Tu 144 was extremely complex, and it was not just as simple as the power system.
"Didn't the pilot come?"
Finch frowned, his facial features about to be twisted together.
"The pilot was specially hired, not of Moria descent, so he was not included in the list of fugitives at all this time," Professor Christian said.
"So," Finch asked, a little sickly, "who's going to fly here?"
There were a lot of people who raised their hands this time, and even Long Yun raised his hand.
"It's all open," Finch said, "look at this thing, who's going to be sure" Everyone's hands were lowered again, and Long Yun suddenly felt that the situation was too funny, and couldn't help but say: "Doctor, I'm okay with the helicopter, don't look for me above the fighter jet, not to mention this kind of flying turtle, the instrument inside can make me stunned." ” There was a lot of discussion in the cabin, everyone was a little panicked at this moment, there was no pilot of the plane, they were all dizzy and sat in an iron coffin, and it wouldn't take long for the guard troops in the red zone to get those weapon systems, and when the time came, these people were not caught in the urn "Okay, okay" Lena suddenly rose from her seat, shook her hair, and looked around fiercely.
It was quiet in the cabin, and everyone looked at the queen of the command center, expecting her to bring some surprise.
Many men secretly swallowed their saliva, and the only one who could wear the o short skirt and skirt so sexy and bumpy was that there was only Lena in the whole day.
"My mother told me since I was a child that men can't be relied on at critical moments" No one expected it to be such a classic line, and everyone almost fell under the chairs.
"I'll just try it" Lena threw her military handbag on her seat, looked around with a dragonfly, and pointed at Long Yun and Falcon: "You two, follow me into the cockpit" This tone is undoubted, if Lena has a leather whip in her hand at this time, she will be an S\ training queen.
"I'm no problem, I'm absolutely willing, even if it's the end of the world, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Hayabusa immediately expressed his loyalty, and changed his words again, saying, "But I really don't know how to fly this kind of plane, if it is a Boeing plane, I can still try, after all" "You've driven a Boeing" Lena's gaze fell on the fat otaku's face.
Falcon's fat face turned red, and he muttered, "In the dormitory, I often use simulators to play." “” The whole cabin is down again, one is more strange than the other, and there are few normal people in the Tianmu company.
Long Yun said: "Lena, I'm honest with you, I'm okay with the helicopter, I can't do this thing." ” Lena waved her hand impatiently, "If you have flying experience," she glanced at Finch, who was puzzled, and said, "Doctor, don't forget what my talent is." ” After that, he twisted Xiao Liu's waist, pulled the fat otaku and Long Yun from the seat one by one, and pulled them into the cockpit without saying anything.
After a brief silence, everyone suddenly stood up and gathered outside the cockpit
