Cochran never felt this way. Qin Baoshan brought her a brand new experience. The Eighth Route Army came out of mud legs, and their cultural level is not high, but they can get on the horse with their own methods and come up with simple problems to solve them. Just like it is now, in order to solve the problem of overheating of the aircraft engine, Qin Baoshan directly designed a ventilation duct and designed many air intakes at the end of the wing. It can be blown in directly through the ventilation duct, and then it can be blown into the engine compartment without any additional devices. In this way, the outside airflow can be introduced to cool the engine, it's that simple.
Although Qin Baoshan also proposed many high-level solutions, those solutions were reported to the superiors. Now at the scene, Qin Baoshan solved the problem in the simplest way.
Everything has been done, and Cochran can't wait to fly this plane and fly to the sky to test it.
"Okay, it should be almost done." Qin Baoshan finished screwing the last screw and walked down the ladder. When he just turned to the ground, suddenly his face was wet, and there was a bang. Qin Baoshan turned his head in surprise, looking at Cochran who was close at hand, he was unexpectedly attacked.
Qin Baoshan was very helpless. He raised his arms and wiped his face. This action of his made Cochran a little unhappy, how is it? Are you looking down on me for being dirty? She originally wanted to say a few intimate words, but in the end, she was stopped abruptly.
Qin Baoshan has changed the subject: "It's almost done now, we can take off and try it out. By the way, do we need a flight permit?"
If you want to modify an aircraft in ordinary times and want to test it, you need many people to sign. After all, if something goes wrong, you will be held accountable. But now it is a time of war, everything is kept simple. . Hearing Qin Baoshan's question, Cochrane said: "We don't need any flight permits, we can fly this plane directly and try it out. Major Cromlin, what do you think?"
Major Cromlin nodded aside. He had noticed Cochrane's intimacy with Qin Baoshan just now. At the same time, he also saw that even if Cochrane's sneak attack succeeded, it did not close the relationship with Qin Baoshan. On the contrary, Qin Baoshan had already maintained vigilance. Qin Baoshan deliberately distanced himself from Cochran. In the United States, people can be quite open with each other. It is not too much for Cochran to do this kind of thing, but Qin Baoshan is careful to keep a distance. He knows that this is because of the differences between Easterners and Westerners. Treat emotions differently.
Although it is still popular in the Kuomintang to visit several concubines, the Eighth Route Army is already monogamous. Qin Baoshan already had a wife, so he would not have intimate relationships with other women, even if it was a one-night stand, Qin Baoshan would avoid it.
Just now this is a small episode. Besides, it is impossible for Qin Baoshan to stay here forever, and he may leave tomorrow. So even though he was attacked by Cochrane, Qin Baoshan didn't react too violently. I just wiped my face to express that I don't support this kind of behavior.
But soon, Qin Baoshan integrated into the technology again. This bomber is really beautiful. During the manufacturing process, a lot of new technologies were used, and of course, comfort is also emphasized. When you drill into the cockpit, you can find that the interiors here are all wrapped in leather.
It's just that Qin Baoshan didn't sit in the front cockpit this time. In the driver's seats were Major Cromlin and Cochrane. After all, this bomber is the most important aircraft for the Americans, and Qin Baoshan has never piloted it, so he is not suitable for the driving position. Qin Baoshan didn't care either, he sat in the back seat. This pressurized cabin has two rows of seats front and rear. The seats in the back are more comfortable, and there are plenty of gauges up front. Because Qin Baoshan was sitting as a mechanic, there were many instruments and indicator lights in front of him.
This large bomber has a variety of instrumentation equipment. Take the engine as an example, in order to monitor the overheating of the engine, each cylinder of the engine has a special thermocouple. Although it is not as accurate as the sensors controlled by later generations of electronic computers, it can still measure some temperatures.
Whether the engine is overheated or whether the overheating is caused by a certain cylinder can be observed through this panel. Sitting here, Qin Baoshan is familiar with a large number of appearances.
?Because there were enough seats, Wei Dayong also came up. At this time, Wei Dayong was a little restrained sitting there. Because Qin Baoshan told him that nothing should be messed with. If you touch a switch indiscriminately, it may lead to danger.
So Wei Dayong sat in a well-behaved manner. his eyesGrumbling, it was his first time to take such a large bomber.
The four engines were started one by one, and there was a rumbling sound. Cochrane operated the aircraft, taxiing for takeoff.
In order to simulate the heat dissipation effect of the test engine, Cochran deliberately pushed the accelerator to the full, let the engine work at full power, and then climbed slowly along a slanted line. Every time in the process of climbing, it will cause the engine to overheat. This is almost a b-29 bomber pilot's nightmare.
Qin Baoshan reported every half a minute, and he looked at the dashboard in front of him. The pointer has always been very stable. His report was also very calm: "The engine temperature is normal."
The altitude was getting higher and higher, and Cochran was very satisfied with the normal report every time. They climbed the mountain to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the dashboards in front of Qin Baoshan still showed normal. They have finished climbing, and the engines generally do not overheat when they are in level flight. Cochrane's face was full of smiles, she turned her head and shouted to Qin Baoshan behind: "Honey! You helped us solve a big problem. I thank you on behalf of everyone."
Other improvement methods proposed by Qin Baoshan will take some time to be improved, but now, this kind of improvement method that has been implemented by local methods can temporarily make the aircraft ready for service.
Qin Baoshan could only cough helplessly: "This has not been fully determined. We need to accelerate to the maximum speed to see if the added tubes will cause the wings to tremble. Also, our maximum flight speed may be slightly lower. Lower." (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
