"I can't help it!" Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly.

Qin Chuan said nonsense, but until modern times, no country has used rocket-powered fighters, which also represents another meaning: after actual combat and demonstration, people found that it is not suitable for use in aircraft, especially after the jet engine has made great progress, the thrust of the aircraft has become more and more explosive, and the flight speed of the aircraft has exceeded the speed of sound, and there is no room for development of rocket-powered aircraft.

In other words, Germany's efforts on ME163 can only be described as a brave attempt, but it always comes at the risk of failure...... To be sure, if you keep trying, you may pay more.

"We need another plane!" Qin Chuan continued.

"What plane?" Conrad's eyes, which were originally disappointed, lit up.

"I said it before!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's like FA330......"

"Major!" Hannah interrupted Qin Chuan's words with a sneer: "I remember my promise, but now is not the time to say this!" ”

"Hannah was right!" Conrad spread his hands and agreed: "It's a submarine-powered glider, but there is no submarine here, and of course there will be no FA330......"

"I don't mean the FA330!" Qin Chuan looked at Hannah and said, "I'm sorry, Hannah, I'm talking about the right thing. Of course, I'm glad you'll remember your commitment! ”

"So, what are you talking about?" Hannah asked, somewhat surprised.

Qin Chuan raised his head towards the Caucasus Mountains in the distance and said, "Do you see this mountain?" The highest peak of this mountain range is 5,642 meters, and the snow on the mountain is very cold all year round, so I want to keep it ...... The biggest problem is that it's hard to get supplies up. ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "So, we need an aircraft like the FA330, which can take off and land vertically and land in a small space, so that we can easily bring ammunition supplies to the soldiers stationed on it, do you know what this means?" This means that no enemy can break through this natural barrier! ”

"We have such planes!" Conrad replied.

"Is there one?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised, but he didn't know this.

"Yes!" Conrad nodded: "It's called Fi282, it can take off and land in an area of 4 meters by 4 meters, because it can hover in the air, so the soldiers give it the nickname 'Hummingbird'!" We use it for naval reconnaissance, and the army also has a small amount of equipment for artillery fighting! ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan understood that Germany was using helicopters as hot air balloons...... In the past, naval reconnaissance and army artillery were to release a manned hot air balloon into the sky, and the Japanese army even used reconnaissance balloons in World War II.

This is a tyrannical thing, and the helicopter does the job of scouting balloons?!

"But you may be disappointed, Major!" Hannah said: "Fi282 doesn't have enough lift, it can barely take two people into the air!" ”

Hannah was a test pilot, so of course there was also research on the "Hummingbird".

"Yes!" Major Conrad said: "And it is not suitable for combat, the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, etc., can easily shoot it down, let alone the enemy's fighters!" ”

Qin Chuan was not surprised by Conrad's words, people in this era did not realize the importance of helicopters until the Americans used them for the first time on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

"None of this is a problem!" Qin Chuan replied: "Look at this, there is no enemy on this side of the Caucasus Mountains, so there will be no threat from enemy anti-aircraft guns and machine guns!" ”

"How to solve the lift problem?" Hannah asked.

"The lift of one engine can lift the weight of an aircraft as well as two people, what if we fit two engines into it?" Qin Chuan said: "Then it can even lift a cannon!" ”

"Two engines? That's impossible! Conrad laughed, "Where do we put it?" ”

"Fit on both arms!" Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and used the fingers of both hands to make the spiral rotate...... Modern American Osprey helicopters are of this double helix structure.

Conrad couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Good idea, Major." Very good idea, so ...... We can easily bring ammunition and supplies, even artillery and jeeps to any mountainous terrain with complex terrain, and the only requirement is to open up a landing field of more than ten square meters for it! This will be a great help to our mountain warfare! ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"It's still a catch, isn't it?" Conrad excitedly said: "Although it is not enough to make up for the failure of ME163, it is still a surprise...... Great, sorry Major, I'm leaving! ”

Saying that, Conrad flew in the direction of the jeep like a child who had found candy, leaving Hannah and Qin Chuan behind.

The two sat down on the beach, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted over them, casting shadows snuggling up to each other on the beach.

"It's not badly hurt!" Qin Chuan asked.

"In fact, I was in a hospital bed for four months!" Hannah replied.

Qin Chuan looked at Hannah in shock.

"Don't look at me like that!" Hannah laughed, "I'm fine now!" ”

Later, Qin Chuan learned that things were far from being as easy as Hannah said......

During this test flight, Hannah's ME163 landing gear got stuck and she was forced to land on her belly.

During the landing, Hannah suffered facial injuries and fell unconscious on the spot.

Hannah was treated in the hospital for four months and miraculously recovered. In the hospital, she also did something that surprised the doctors: when she was still suffering from a headache, in order to be able to fly again as soon as possible, Hannah actually climbed the big tree in front of the door to exercise to regain her sense of balance.

"Why didn't anyone tell me this?" Qin Chuan said.

Hannah's four months in the hospital were the time when Qin Chuan went home on vacation.

"I told them not to do it!" Hannah said.

"But you're unconscious!"

"Before the coma!" "I found pen and paper, you know, that's the most important thing about the test flight, and I kind of forgot about it, and I was told that I had a sketch of what might have caused the failure and wrote the words 'Don't tell Flick' on it," Hannah said. ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.

He knew that Hannah had not thought that she was only unconscious or even recovering, and she was afraid that she would die and would not be able to tell anyone else about the results of the test flight, which meant that she was ready to die.

And at this last moment, Hannah was still thinking about Qin Chuan.

"Why bother to let you know?" Hannah whispered in Qin Chuan's ear: "You are no less dangerous on the front line than I am at all!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is life during the war years.
