Chapter 2309: Chapter 2129: Amazement Beijing. A remarkable organization. "So fast!" "I never thought a private enterprise could develop an entire set of technologies independently in just a year without collaborating with other units." "Incredible!" "Although I don’t know the specific technical details, being able to take this giant into the sky proves that its technological framework is on the right track." "Indeed!" "Tang Qing is indeed adept at creating miracles." "Exactly!" "But the credit doesn’t entirely go to him; don’t forget he has thousands of scientists under him, mostly in the fields of mechanical engineering, electronics, and materials." "With money comes willfulness!" "But being willful is good." "..." Previously. They only knew the basic parameters of the aircraft, such as its shape, number of power units, and purposes. They thought they would just watch the spectacle, unexpectedly. It was impressive. Unloaded. The rotor cruised at 360, full power cruised at 460. In terms of speed, it was already quite excellent in the helicopter domain, not to mention its flight posture. Low speed. Medium speed. High speed. Corresponding to three flight postures. The more they watched. The more they liked it. "Although it’s large and not suitable for military use, as a special aircraft, it’s viable. Its massive load can be used to extinguish wildfires and for flood rescue operations." "Right." "Indeed, it’s very outstanding." "Aside from wildfires, if there’s a large combustible gas leak or explosion, with raging flames where fire trucks can’t reach, it can play a huge role." "Additionally." "In dam breaches and dangerous area rescues, it should perform quite well." "..." Everyone nodded. A bit big. A bit noisy. But. The load capacity is there; with a hundred-ton load, it can cater to many uses like flood rescue, earthquake relief, vast mountain fires, and personnel evacuation. Many, many uses. This is something regular military helicopters can’t reach by far. "However, after all, the time is too short. The maturity of the technology needs to be tested over time, and the stability of the equipment still needs ongoing testing." "Indeed." "..." Everyone believed that a year’s safety couldn’t reassure people. At this moment. A report arrived. "What?" "How is this possible?" "I..." "..." Once again, everyone was shocked because the report contained the entire contents of the previous fault tests, one power failure after another, one transmission device failure after another. In fact. From the outside, one could only see the airplane swaying occasionally, then stabilizing, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, sometimes diving, sometimes climbing. Previously. They thought there were some simple malfunctions and regular maneuvers. Unexpectedly. The whole process was in failure mode. In the end. It unbelievably relied on one engine to safely land, and they couldn’t help but be internally shocked by this operation, it’s so incredibly daring. "Hiss!" "This operation, this design, is impressive. It’s okay to have eight power units, but the ability to switch between them so seamlessly; such complex technology, it seems we’re unable to achieve." "That’s right." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮 "..." Everyone had a look of amazement. Indeed. The reason for being unable. Isn’t because it’s impossible, but because everyone’s past focus was mainly on military equipment, under the increasingly specific modern aerial equipment emphasizing maneuverability and stealth. No one thought of installing so many ’noise’ generators. Single power. Dual power. That’s the mainstream. Eight power. If someone dared to propose such a project, they’d definitely be refuted, although no one has done it, everyone knows how challenging it is to switch between eight power units. If they did it. It would take at least three years. "To develop it in just one year indicates their technical prowess should not be underestimated!" "Indeed!" "Really want to go see it in person." "Me too." "..." Experts were eager to visit the site. To this end. Leadership waved a big hand. Agreed. Exchange and learning are good things; it’s unlikely they’ll learn it, eight power units, unless it is outside existing aerial equipment, developing new equipment. Otherwise. Learning it would be useless. By the way. Heard that this thing can also take off from the water surface, it’s a bit interesting, which means it could potentially be used for amphibious rescues, borrowing a bit of its meaning. Everyone sighed. In the future. Large forest fires will no longer require firefighters to personally scale mountains into danger. ... In the afternoon. The base. Testing continued. There were three items in total. -1. Rescue. -2. Firefighting. -3. Deployment. Only seen. The aircraft flew to a large accessory, slowly descending, the tremendous stability allowed it to dock precisely, with several ’clicks’ afterwards. The twenty-ton boat-shaped container was lifted up. Then. It sped towards a target twenty-odd miles away, where a team was already waiting. After the aircraft landed, two vehicles and eight people. Entered into the container. Then. Takeoff. Return trip. Finally, it landed safely on the helipad. Of course. It wasn’t over yet. Rescue. Also has categories, after the second takeoff, they arrived in the middle of nearby mountains, braving the cold wind, hoisted people up one by one with ropes. This time. Using a medical attachment, apart from a large empty space, there were some emergency medical devices inside. The entire hoisting process took only three minutes. General helicopters can’t maintain stability at that height, but the aircraft’s massive weight makes regular winds unable to move it. Eight power units. Division of labor. Propeller maintains altitude, turbojet engine maintains level position. As per the design, this aircraft can perform rescue operations in winds up to Level Nine. Level Ten, though, Is possible. But not recommended since, besides fighters, the average person cannot perfectly control its posture. Hence, in the user manual, it only notes below Level Nine. Even Level Nine isn’t recommended. ... The second item. Firefighting. It wasn’t far, just in an open area outside the base, the ground was covered in gasoline, and a variety of flammable materials were laid on top. With a bang, the fire roared. Thick smoke billowed. Straight up into the sky, for testing effectiveness, the flammable material used were adept at producing thick smoke, it was pitch black, just looking at it would make one retreat. Subsequently. The aircraft with the ’sprinkler’ attachment arrived, reaching above the smoke, the water mist sprayer immediately activated, spraying from above the thick smoke. Then. The upward trend of the smoke weakened, then slowly began to descend, the dust was absorbed by the mist, bringing it back to the ground, containing the smoke’s spread. "Great." "This method is excellent, using mist to lock the dust." "..." The control tower. Cheered, this approach is highly beneficial for curbing the spread of harmful gases, especially in large-scale fire situations, it’s very meaningful. This means it won’t endanger the surrounding masses. Smoke. Can be suffocating. ... On site. In addition to the mist. The water drop sprayer also started its work, with its coverage area reaching a radius of a hundred meters due to the high altitude from the ground, forming rainfall. Meanwhile. The water gun also started, spraying frenetically at some large fire points. Water mist. Water drops. Water column. The combination of three firefighting methods showed significant effects. In just half a minute, the entire ground fire was under control, and looking around, the smoke had not spread. All brought back to the ground by the water mist.
