Chapter 253 Where did our "Dragon" go?

The environment of the restaurant is elegant and the lighting is soft. Lin Feng led everyone to find a table long enough. 15 people from himself and 6 people from the Phoenix Factory, a total of 21 people sat down on both sides of the table facing each other.

There is a big difference between Western food and Chinese food.

When we eat Chinese food, a dozen or so people sit around a big round table. Western food is different, with long tables where everyone sits facing each other.

Lin Feng communicated with the waiters in the restaurant in very fluent French, asked about the special dishes of the restaurant, read the menu, and ordered the meal himself.

This is an authentic French meal.

It can be seen that whether it is the Phoenix Factory or Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, most of the people are going abroad for the first time, or even eating Western food for the first time.

Fortunately, Lin Feng, He Hua, and Wang Tianfang were no strangers to western food, and the others followed suit, and finally looked a little decent, and there was no joke.

Lin Feng ordered a total of five dishes. A real French meal can have thirteen dishes. However, as the pace of life accelerates, many restaurants simplify the menu arrangement to 3-5 dishes, which is convenient for customers to order.

The domestic colleagues who came to the air show basically cook their own meals in the hotel. Lin Feng is not as extravagant as cooking thirteen dishes. A total of five dishes should be enough, otherwise he may really be beaten.

The first dish was brought out quickly, with a small portion for each person, and two or three bites can finish the portion, which surprised people who are used to Chinese food and have almost never eaten Western food.

"It's so little, you can eat it in two bites."

"Well, it tastes good."

"You think Chinese food is eaten in our country, it's just an appetizer."

"."

While eating appetizers with knives and forks, everyone chatted in amazement, feeling full of freshness.

After the first appetizer was finished, after a while, the appetizer soup was served, and it was still a small portion for each person, which could be finished in two or three bites.

Every time a dish is eaten, the waiter next to him will take away the plates, spoons and other tableware, and then another dish will be served, and new tableware will be delivered.After finishing the first three courses, it was finally the turn of the main course.

"This should be the legendary French foie gras."

"It looks good, but the portion is still a bit small. Believe it or not, I can eat five servings."

"It's a good idea. Don't look at the small amount. The price is not cheap. That alone costs at least a dozen francs."

"My god, wouldn't that mean that I would lose most of my salary for half a month?"

"."

Seeing the lively atmosphere, Lin Feng smiled slightly, and said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, there will be wine, steak, etc., enough for everyone to eat."

"Wow, there's still wine."

When you come to France, you must taste the wine here. Soon, a total of two bottles of red wine came up. The waiter first showed everyone the packaging of the wine, with the date of production, the name of the estate, etc. on it.

After everything is correct, the waiter opened the wine, poured the wine into the decanter, and poured the wine one by one for everyone after a while.

Holding the wine, Wang Tianfang said loudly, "Comrades, let's toast to Mr. Lin and thank him for this feast."

Everyone raised their glasses.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your feast."

"Boss, cheers."

Everyone cheered, most of them only took a sip because it was wine, not white wine, but a few people drank it all in one gulp.

In addition to foie gras, the main course also includes goulash with red wine, grilled escargot with burgundy, assorted bacon with sauerkraut, etc. Although each serving is only a little bit, the kind that can be eaten in a few bites, but there are so many tricks.

After eating the main course, many people touched their stomachs, it was really satisfying, and they were really full.

And finally dessert.

Everyone ate a meal for about two hours. Yes, it is normal to eat western food for such a long time, especially French western food. The slow pace mainly allows you to enjoy every delicious dish.

The taste is first-class, and Lin Feng himself is very satisfied with the food. If you are in China, even if you have money, it is probably difficult to eat such an authentic French meal.

After dinner, some people go back to the hotel, unable to eat a little full, want to lie down and digest, such as lying on a soft and comfortable bed in the hotel, watching TV, although they may not be able to understand it, but it is not lost. A good choice.

Some people didn't go back to the hotel. It seemed good to take a hundred steps after dinner to enjoy the night view of Paris, France, and walk along the streets.

Although the hotel you stayed in is only medium-grade, it has a good location. It is a typical downtown area and not very far from the famous Champs-Elysées. It should only take one to two or 10 minutes by taxi.

A group of seven or eight people including Lin Feng, He Hua, and Wang Tianfang walked slowly, and would go in when they saw some interesting shops. Lin Feng spoke fluent French, and there was no problem in communication.

Walking slowly along the street, no matter where you go, the weather in Paris at this time is not too hot, and it is even a little cool at night.

Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks and was slightly taken aback.

There is obviously a good restaurant not far in front, a French couple in their 60s and [-]s, followed by a tall western beauty. The young beauty is holding a little girl about two years old.

The four of them came out of the restaurant, got into a Mercedes-Benz car, and left quickly, drifting away. The whole process didn't take much time.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

He Hua noticed Lin Feng's abnormality, and asked gently with concern. As for the others, they didn't notice Lin Feng's abnormal reaction at all. They were either looking at the products in the street shop, or enjoying the scenery of the street.

Lin Feng came back to his senses and said quickly, "It's nothing."

At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was not calm and stirred up, because the figure of the young western beauty he saw just now felt very familiar, and his memory flashed back to three years ago.

At that time, the French Meca company sent a team to the Phoenix factory to guide the production of the second stage of a certain turboshaft engine. Lin Feng served as the translator of the Phoenix factory and was mainly responsible for receiving Anna.

In a few days, the two went from unfamiliar to familiar, and then sparked.It has been three years since this incident, Lin Feng thought it should be just a small episode in his life, and it would be difficult to see Anna again in this life.

There are thousands of miles of oceans apart, and transportation and communication are far from as developed as later generations. The possibility of the two meeting again is really very small. It has been like this for three years, and there is no contact between the two parties.

Even though he came to participate in the Paris Air Show this time, Lin Feng did not have any hope of meeting Anna, even though she was the first woman after his time travel, and she was also a very beautiful western beauty.

In the vast sea of ​​people, where will there be such a good fate, where will there be so many coincidences, the probability of meeting is even smaller than the probability of winning a 500 million lottery.

But just now, when Lin Feng saw that figure from the back, he felt familiar, which brought back the memories buried in his heart for three years.

After thinking about it seriously, Lin Feng thought in his heart, it shouldn't be, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, it shouldn't be Anna, although the figure and the back are very similar, and there is even a familiar feeling, but she is holding a little girl, obviously that is a young mother.

Maybe it's getting late, everyone has been wandering around for an hour, maybe it's because of a change in mood, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go back the same way, let's go back to the hotel."

He Hua fully agreed with this point, and said loudly, "The boss is right, we should go back to the hotel, and we will go to the air show tomorrow to have a look."

There are still two days before the official opening of the air show, but as an exhibitor, it is very necessary to go to the air show site one or two days in advance to have a look. In addition to familiarizing yourself with the venue and the exhibition, you should also take a look at your own exhibition area.

Leihuo Technology and Industry Group participated in this exhibition with a "Tianlong" transport helicopter, a world-advanced military transport helicopter.

The next day, after breakfast, Lin Feng and He Hua set off with a few people to the Paris Air Show.

This year's air show is still divided into two parts, indoor and outdoor. The outdoor part mainly covers almost the entire airport, where a large number of various aircraft are parked, and various aircraft models, various engines, etc. are displayed indoors.

I don’t have an indoor exhibition area. Of course, I will focus on the outdoor exhibition area. At this time, all kinds of aircraft participating in the exhibition have been in place and parked on the airport according to the requirements of the organizer. There are various types of aircraft, large and small, and the total number of aircraft is estimated. There are hundreds of them.

There are everything from large civil aviation airliners to small light aircraft, civilian and military. Every Paris Air Show is a barometer of the world's aviation industry, and it is true at all.

"What kind of airliner is that? It's really not small!"

Including Lin Feng, many eyes looked over, and parked not far away was a large civil aviation airliner with four aero-engine designs and a large body.

Wang Tianfang said, "That is Airbus' A340 wide-body airliner, which is also a new Airbus airliner. It has been successfully developed for less than two years, and it is said that the range can reach [-] kilometers."

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Lin Feng waved his hand.

Of course Lin Feng is quite clear about the A340 airliner. It should be regarded as the shortest-lived airliner. It took less than 20 years from the successful design and development to the complete suspension of production.

It was originally designed and developed as a long-range wide-body large passenger aircraft, but due to some fatal design flaws, it was defeated by competitors within 10 years after it was put into production, and was completely discontinued within 20 years.

At this time, the A340 has just been put into production, and it is in full swing. Many people are very optimistic, including Airbus itself.

As a traveler, Lin Feng has of course heard of this aircraft and knows some of its problems, because in later generations, there are many reports about the A340 on the Internet, and Lin Feng also knows the main defects of it.

Now my professional knowledge is very rich, and my professional technical level is very high, which is far from what I could compare with before the time travel. I thought about the reports about the defects of this aircraft that later generations saw on the Internet, and my mind became clearer and clearer. .

A340, a wide-body twin-aisle jumbo!

It is destined to be the star of this air show. Although its future fate is not very good, the organizer still puts it in the most prominent position, and also focuses on introducing and promoting this aircraft.

"Mr. Lin, this is A340, let's go over and have a look." Wang Tianfang suggested.

Lin Feng nodded. Anyway, today's main task is to take a look at the various aircraft on display in advance, so let's take a close look at this aircraft.

A group of people walked to the front of the plane, looking at each one with great interest, while Lin Feng looked at the plane seriously with professional eyes, and connected some memories of future generations in his mind, and tapped lightly from time to time. Nodding his head, he became more aware of some of the plane's flaws.

After everyone looked around this plane with great interest, they began to visit other planes. Soon, a row of fighter planes lined up attracted everyone's attention.

It was a total of eight fighters, parked neatly, it is difficult not to attract people's eyes.

"That's an F16 fighter jet, the star among fighter jets!"

"Eight F16s came to participate in the exhibition at once, so it's not going to be an air show."

The flight show is undoubtedly one of the highlights of every air show. Those who can perform flight shows at the air show are some awesome existences. Without certain popularity, they are really not qualified to perform aircraft shows at the air show.

It is also the first time for Lin Feng to really see the F16 fighter. The pictures he saw in some materials before are not counted, and he suddenly became interested. Before the F22 and F35 fighters were not in service, it was undoubtedly one of the most advanced fighters. .

At this time, our country is still playing the leading role in the J-16. The F[-] fighter is undoubtedly very advanced in everyone's mind, and it is also very enviable.

Wang Tianfang even asked, "Boss Lin, have you entered the field of fighter jets and produced a fighter jet comparable to the F16?"

Lin Feng just smiled.

If you want to develop fighters, Boss Lin will definitely not be benchmarking F16 fighters, but F22 fighters. Now it is meaningless to develop third-generation fighters. If you want to develop fourth-generation stealth fighters.

However, Boss Lin obviously has no plans in this regard for the time being. The country is already developing J-[-] fighter jets, and there will be J-[-] fighter jets in the future. There is no need for him to intervene in the field of fighter jets.

However, turbofan engines can be considered, such as military turbofan engines with a small bypass ratio, because whether it is the J-31 or the future J-[-], the engine has always been a shortcoming, and the Russian-made AL-[-]FN has been used for a long time engine.

The area of ​​the airport is huge, and the area of ​​the apron is not small. There are hundreds of various aircrafts, large and small, which almost dazzles everyone.

"Boss Lin, that's the Black Hawk helicopter, right?"

Really Black Hawk!
Lin Feng recognized it at a glance. This helicopter is too familiar. He has seen its pictures countless times in related materials. However, this is the first time he has seen a Black Hawk helicopter at close range.

There was not just one Black Hawk, but three parked side by side. There were some foreigners beside the helicopter, who must be beautiful Chinese.

Seeing Lin Feng and others coming over, these beautiful Chinese people were very indifferent, even a little arrogant. In their eyes, China's aviation industry was backward, and the level of helicopter development was even more backward. Helicopters like the Black Hawk can only be looked up to by Chinese people.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't mean to look up at all, but looked down. Our 'Tianlong' is more advanced than your Black Hawk, at least half a grade ahead. You beautiful Chinese people have nothing to be proud of.

Taking a look in China is undoubtedly just out of curiosity, after all, I have never seen a Black Hawk helicopter up close.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Feng said, "It's not very good, it's not a grade higher than our 'Tianlong', but there is still a gap of half a grade."

Wang Tianfang fully agreed with this point, "Mr. Lin is right, after we have the 'Tianlong' transport helicopter, now we really don't like their Black Hawk helicopter."

Fortunately, the two spoke Chinese. If they communicated in English, these beautiful Chinese people would probably jump up when they heard it.

After watching these Black Hawks, Lin Feng glanced over and saw other types of helicopters, including armed helicopters, such as Tiger armed helicopters.

Everyone is worthy of being insiders in the aviation industry, and you still have a good eye. Although you have never really seen a Tiger gunship, many people recognized it immediately.

"Look, that's a Tiger gunship!"

"It's really Tiger, let's go and have a look."

Many people ran over almost all the way. Seeing this, Wang Tianfang suggested, "Boss Lin, let's go and have a look."

"Go, let's go and have a look."

His own Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is producing heavy-duty armed helicopters. Lin Feng also wants to take a closer look at the Tiger armed helicopters and get to know this opponent.

A group of people arrived in front of the Tiger gunships. There were two of them parked side by side, with a distance of three to 40 meters between them, occupying a large area.

No way, France is the host, and this is their domestic armed helicopter, of course it will occupy a large area.

The first prototype of the Tiger Helicopter made its first test flight in April 1991 and was unveiled at the Paris Air Show that year. It was seen again at the 4 Air Show, and there were still two in total.

"Mr. Lin, this is the French Tiger helicopter gunship!"

"How does our heavy gunship compare to the Tiger?"

Lin Feng said confidently, "Basically there is no comparison, the two are at least one class behind."

This is not a bit of bragging. The heavy-duty armed helicopters of Leihuo Technology Industry Group lead in all aspects, no matter in terms of tonnage, armor thickness, firepower, avionics, radar, range, etc.

The people of Leihuo Technology Industry Group didn't have much reaction, because everyone felt that Mr. Lin was not bragging at all, and was completely telling the truth.

Except for Wang Tianfang, everyone in the Phoenix Factory reacted a little bit more. Two people looked at each other in astonishment. At the same time, they thought in their hearts, Mr. Lin is not bragging. One of the helicopters.

After everyone looked around, Wang Tianfang suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, where is your 'Tianlong' transport helicopter at?"

Lin Feng looked into the distance, "It should be over there, let's go and have a look."

Under Lin Feng's personal leadership, everyone came to the booth, but they didn't see the shadow of the "Tianlong" transport helicopter. There was a helicopter of other models parked in the booth that originally belonged to the "Tianlong", and Lin Feng didn't even know it was The model should be a civilian helicopter.

so, what happened?
What about our "Tianlong" transport helicopter!
Not only Lin Feng was at a loss, He Hua and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay, they should be here, why is there no our "Tianlong" transport helicopter.
