Chapter 148 Treating guests to dinner
Long Yun’s guess is a little too optimistic.
Next, the two people visited the J-17 for a long time. Liu Wei also towed the boarding ladder and climbed up with Long Yun to look at the advanced glass-shaped cockpit under the overall hatch.
When Long Yun saw the entire large display screen and touch-type buttons in the cockpit, he remembered the dozens of instruments he faced when driving in a parallel world, as well as the green radar display screen.
It’s the difference between the third and fourth generations. Such a generation difference is too big no matter how big it is!
Before the emergence of the attack aircraft, the fourth-generation fighter was still the main force of the air force, and its performance was greatly improved compared to the third-generation fighter. For example, the J-17 in front of us, whether it is aerodynamic design, weapon configuration or radar electronic system, is far from comparable to the third-generation aircraft; although the maximum altitude speed of Mach 2.2 and the transition range of 3,000 kilometers are all quite similar to that of the third-generation aircraft, but the actual combat effectiveness is almost an order of magnitude.
Take the two generations of fighter jets from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Company for comparison. Although the J-17 is also a single release and has a slightly larger size, the weight of the entire aircraft is similar to that of the J-10. In other words, using a WS-15c engine can achieve an air combat thrust-weight ratio of nearly 1.4. Coupled with the drag reduction design with edge strip delta wings, although it is a double vertical tail, it still has good acceleration. As for the maneuverability that fighter values the most, the combination of movable flexible edge strips, thrust vectors and exterior double vertical tails, it is also better than the J-10's canard wings without flat tail layout.
As for other built-in ammunition compartments, advanced AESA radar, and Broadcast CāO longitudinal system, they are not comparable to those of the third generation.
Of course, such high configuration and high performance brings higher procurement prices; even in the era of strong attack aircraft, if the team wants to buy a model like the J-17, it must have considerable financial support.
Seeing Long Yun’s visit was amazing, Liu Wei was obviously very happy, but thinking about his work here, he no longer had that kind of relaxed look on his face.
There is no way, reality is always cruel.
After visiting the newly purchased J-17 fighter jet of the team, next to the sun-lit apron at noon, Liu Wei and Long Yun sat down under the parasol to drink water and rest, and he was a little embarrassed to tell the truth to Long Yun.
"Actually, hehe, I'm not afraid of you being laughed at by Brother Long. Now, I'm just playing tricks in the 'Sonic' team."
"Traveling chores?" Long Yun still didn't understand. He thought that Liu Wei's chores were ground staff maintenance or other flight-related positions, and he thought it was nothing.
"There is at least a hope, not like I am the driver of a private plane now."
Liu Wei shook his head, it seemed that he disagreed with Long Yun's words.
"Doing chores is just doing chores. Do you think it's fiddling with the plane. Cleaning and mopping the floor every day is my job!"
True or fake? Cleaning and... mopping the floor?
Long Yun widened his eyes in surprise. Liu Wei's family was quite wealthy. He didn't expect that in order to join the team, he actually went to do such a job. Although there is no distinction between high and low work, he also had to learn something and use it, which is in line with his own expertise!
I spent more than 100,000 yuan to get an air license just to sweep the floor every day?
Seeing Long Yun's face full of shock, Liu Wei smiled bitterly in rare circumstances.
"Hey! Brother, this is a long story."
Anyway, he was idle at noon, so Liu Wei explained his own job search path to Long Yun in full.
As soon as if, as they discussed before, the major teams were basically busy with training and had no plans to recruit new players; even if some weak teams would hire some pilots in order to make a breakthrough in their performance, they would be staring at professional players who transferred from other teams.
Pure newcomers like them who just got their license have no chance at all; Liu Wei had contacted many teams before, but there was no news. Later, there was no choice. He thought it would be better to find a team from the big team to go in first: Just as Long Yun thought, maybe there would be a chance in the future?
But I have been here for almost a week and I cleaned every day. Not to mention flying fighter jets, I can’t even get to the ground crew to repair the planes.
So it’s no wonder this cheerful and optimistic young man is also a little depressed.
After saying this, it seemed as if he had found a friend to talk to him. Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at the horizon in the distance, which was floating in the heat.
Seeing Liu Wei without any more words, Long Yun could probably understand his mood.
Speaking of which, a young man like Liu Wei, who is so energetic, thinks that his ideal cannot be realized, he feels that he is probably not much worse than his despair when he learned about the lack of space.
If you don’t talk about Liu Wei, then talk about himself, so what’s going on now?
Oh! Well, although Long Yun admitted that it was quite interesting to fly a plane for such a unique school beauty boss; but compared with the hot air battles in the parallel world, driving a business jet... after a long time, it was like drinking boiled water.
Nowadays, not only has the hidden dangers that once plagued him disappeared without a trace, but he also has more powerful flight skills due to inexplicable travel, but can only drive business jets here?
Thinking of this, a long-awaited irritation surged into his heart. Long Yun suddenly remembered what Liu Wei said to treat him before.
Why are you staying here? Why not relax first?
"Come on, Liu Wei! Didn't you agree to last time? I'll treat you, let's have a good meal!" Long Yun stood up and touched his wallet. His salary card was only on his salary card yesterday. Although it was just the beginning, the amount was the most he earned in his life.
——Oh! If it is not considered the 100,000 yuan bonus for the qsft champion.
He was very depressed, and Liu Wei agreed without thinking. The two of them left as soon as they said they could leave, and then picked up the car and returned to the city of běijing.
On the way, Liu Wei called Angelababy and came together. It seemed that the two of them were walking together, Long Yun guessed like this. Because it was not until rush hour for get off work, there were not many cars on the road. After picking up Angelababy, they walked straight through the huge běi Jingcheng and came to a bar in Houhai.
"Brother Long, what are you going to do?"
He didn't choose a noisy public tavern or just went to Chinese food. It was Liu Wei's idea to come to such a place. In fact, he was worried that the two of them would have their own worries and it was difficult to deal with it if they were drunk all of a sudden.
"Or let's get some cognac first and you'll be exempt from cocktails. Have something real."
"I think it's OK." Long Yun was worried that he couldn't drive home after drinking, but now Angelababy is driving, and the two of them can drink at will. As for whether they will be scolded by Su Xue, who loves to be clean, he really didn't think of this layer yet.
"Then, I'll order mineral water."
Angelababy, who looked sunny, looked like she had no worries. After all, she was too young and there was no real trouble at this time. Soon, the waiter brought wine and wine glasses. The two of them ate the matching snacks and sipped slowly like drinking coffee.
"This place is pretty good, we can come often in the future. Unlike Sanlitun, there are a lot of people who are fishing for Kaizi, which is so smoky that it is so suffocating." After drinking a little cognac with a mild taste, Liu Wei's face gradually turned red. Obviously, he didn't drink much. "Brother Long, do you know how I went to "Sonic" at that time."
"I don't know, send a resume online?"
"Hehe! Yes. At that time, I thought that since I was required to have an air license, I could be a ground staff member anyway," Liu Wei sipped another sip of wine. "It would be better if I didn't say that I would fly the plane to the sky and go around the ground to inspect and maintain it. After I really went there, I realized that I was recruiting junior interns. Interns and interns, I cleaned every day for a week, and I could only enjoy the eye. Do you think I have something wrong with me that I would work as a cleaner like a fool?"
Long Yun did not reply, but just nodded slightly. He knew that such a question was not required.
"Hehe, I think so too. But, Brother Long, you don't know. At that time, I saw a real fighter jet in their hangar. When I saw the newly bought J-17, I couldn't pull my legs. You know, my family is OK, and I don't usually lack money to spend. But in my circle of friends, there are sports cars, golf, and women," Liu Wei looked at Angelababy with a little guilty look, but the little girl lowered her head and played with bubbles in the cup, as if she didn't care about their conversation at all. "It's very boring. Starting a fighter jet to fight in the sky is the hobby that men should have, don't you think?"
"That's natural." Long Yun also thought so. He has followed Shangguan Ling to see many so-called upper-class occasions these days. To put it bluntly, that's it.
Of course, the people who really like many hobbies are very devoted and talk about them. Many other rich people just follow the trend and only participate in order to make relationships.
"But don't worry, there will always be opportunities, take your time."
Hearing Long Yun's persuasion, Liu Wei shook his head, obviously disagreed.
"Brother Long, you also know a lot about aviation competition. Now it is not as high as before. The team's threshold is very high. If the newcomers don't say it, they can't even enter. I'm going in now, but what opportunities can I have to sweep the floor and pour water every day? Moreover," Liu Wei's tone became slightly lower. "In my observation, the famous teams are basically full of talents. Ift this ift, they will not be short of people even in the next three to five years. Now, the team is competing for funds and strength. If you don't say anything else, "Sonic" has bought the J-17 and competed with other teams' J-10 and J-11. Do you think they can still be unstable to win?"
"That's right. It seems that this J-17 can't be bought with money. It needs to be reviewed by the Air Force."
Long Yun also has some understanding of this. The PLA's active fighter jets such as the J-20 and J-17 should have been prohibited from being sold to civilian teams before; although medium-sized aircraft such as the J-17 have just been released, they are also very strict in their control. Unless the team has relevant qualifications and backend guarantees, they will not even be able to touch them if they pay for it.
