Chapter 386 - 384: Zhi-20 Helicopter
Out of curiosity, Chen Xin left his office and walked into the corridor outside. Due to the cold weather, there was a glass corridor outside this row of barracks, which allowed him to see outside while effectively blocking the cold, so Chen Xin could see what was happening without going out.In the very center of the military camp, on a specially leveled snowy field, a gigantic black helicopter was slowly landing.
This was a large helicopter that looked somewhat round-headed yet angular, with five enormous rotors gradually coming to a halt. The helicopter was so heavy that its landing gear sunk into the snow on the ground.
Fortunately, this snowfield had been leveled beforehand, so the helicopter only sank a bit before coming to a stable stop.
Looking at this helicopter, Chen Xin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Although he wasn’t a military enthusiast, he could still recognize the Zhi-20 helicopter, a high-profile piece of equipment in the Flame Country’s army before the disaster, largely known online for its distinctive five-rotor design.
Similar to the Federation’s famous Black Hawk helicopter, this domestically made version had only just been equipped in the Flame Country’s army at the onset of the disaster, marking it as newly advanced military equipment.
However, before the military could enjoy its new toy, a meteor shower filled the air with dust, making it difficult for any aircraft to take off.
It’s known that aircraft engines have a huge demand for intake air and do not have something like air filters. If the air contains a large amount of dust or particles, it can easily damage the aircraft engine, rendering the entire aircraft useless.
Additionally, the collapse of the weather system after the disaster caused strong winds, and the dark environment under the dust-covered sky made it dangerous to fly without satellite navigation. Not only large aircraft, but even helicopters and other small aircraft were grounded.
However, the arrival of this Zhi-20 indicated that the Flame Country seemed to have regained its airspace. work the state is preparing to build, the government’s control over regions may be restored to pre-disaster levels, bringing the whole country back as one stronger whole.
"Let’s go take a look!" Chen Xin couldn’t contain his excitement any longer. Returning to his room, he donned his protective suit and, along with the commissar, left the barracks, stepping into the snow to the helipad.
At this moment, the engine of the Zhi-20 helicopter had completely shut down. A puff of white smoke rose from the engine casing, quickly forming a layer of frost.
However, this did not detract from the majestic and impressive appearance of the Zhi-20 helicopter; rather, it added an extraordinary aura to it.
"Are you Comrade Chen Xin? Hello, there is a consignment specifically for you; please sign for it." By the helicopter, a man in an air force pilot uniform handed a document to Chen Xin, indicating for him to sign it.
Having already heard about this from the commissar, Chen Xin naturally wasn’t surprised.
He reached out for the document, opened it, and Chen Xin’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise: "These things are too..."
