In order to prevent the U.S. military stationed at Davis Monson Air Force Base from noticing the anomaly, the steel hammer did not do anything to the exterior of the aircraft, but directly started from the inside.

At the beginning, in order to strengthen the fuselage structure of the F-14, the F-14 widely used titanium alloys and some boron composite materials, so as to live a higher strength weight ratio. In the entire aircraft, there are 25% titanium alloys, 15% steel, 36% aluminum alloys, 4% non-metallic materials and 20% composite materials.

Although steel is only interested in metal elements, there is no problem in controlling non-metallic materials.

Through the perspective system of the "Little Butterfly" armor, Chen Xin can see that inside the fuselage of the F-14 fighter, some rusted metal oxides are rapidly falling off, and the metal elements in the damaged parts seem to have melted, starting from the most basic atomic structure to recrystallize and combine.

In just a few minutes, the engine, fuel tank, starting motor, on-board backup power supply, and pipeline lines that had long been damaged were restored to normal.

Even the titanium alloy frame, which was originally spliced by guò welding, has been incredibly smooth and smooth, as if they were originally one.

This kind of miraculous means has greatly strengthened the stability of the entire airframe's fuselage structure.

The two F110 engines on the aircraft were directly upgraded by the steel hammer to a storage zài similar to the Russian 117S engine, except for the absence of vector tail spray, other performance indicators are not inferior at all.

But the most surprising thing is the upgrade of the F-14 fighter's avionics system.

The F-14 was developed in the seventies of the last century, which was the beginning of the industrial revolution of human information technology. There was a significant gap between the electronic equipment used and the third-generation fighters developed later.

Not to mention that compared with the three and a half generations of fighters such as the Typhoon and Rafale, even the Su-27, F-15, and F-16, which developed a little later than it, are not comparable.

As a result, the steel hammer simply discarded the original electronic equipment of the F-14 and designed a new avionics system for it.

At the heart of the new avionics is a superprocessor with a processing capacity of about 4 trillion times per second, 7 trillion floating-point operations, and 2 trillion multiplication operations (which is a unit of measurement for signal processing speed), which is the central brain of the entire aircraft, and together with the intelligent flight software tailored for it, it soon made the aircraft the most intelligent aircraft in human history.

An excellent brain is naturally indispensable for the cooperation of clairvoyance and downwind ears.

The F-14's original AN/AWG-9 pulse-Doppler radar was removed and replaced with an airborne phased array radar with gallium nitride T/R components, a multifunctional integrated radio frequency system (MIRFS) based on AESA radar, to be exact.

It is not only able to provide various working modes of radar, but also provides active interference, passive reception, electronic communication and other capabilities. The MIRFS band is much wider than the general airborne AESA. At the same time, it can work in a variety of different pulse waveforms. A low probability of intercept (LPI) of the radar signal is guaranteed.

In addition, it has air-to-ground capabilities, which can carry out high-resolution mapping of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) status, and can also use inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) technology to identify and classify ships at sea. Works in the air-to-air way. The radar can realize prompt search, passive search and over-the-horizon, multi-target search and tracking of the specified airspace. Since the radar beam travels from one point to another in just a few microseconds. So the radar can observe the same target up to 15 times in one second.

It can be said that in addition to innate deficiencies such as stealth and supersonic cruise. The modified version of the F14 is in no way weaker than the F22 in other respects, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness is even higher than the Russian Su-35, which is not inferior to the F35.

The only thing that makes me feel a little regrettable. The steel hammer retains the old instrument cluster of the F14, rather than the very sci-fi human-machine interface.

However, this is just a drone for the time being, and it will not have any impact on combat effectiveness.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the inside of this dilapidated fighter plane has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Fifteen minutes later, the steel hammer jumped out of the F14 and said, "Old Bean, it's done! Do you want to go up and try the machine?"

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, I can't fly now, time is pressing, don't delay, let's continue the repair of the next plane." ”

In order to avoid detection, restoration work can only be carried out after 9 p.m. and ends at 5 a.m. each day, adding up to a total of eight hours.

If calculated according to fifteen minutes, then the steel hammer can repair 32 fighters a day, Chen Xin will have less than half a month in total, plus he has to set aside a part of the time to repair air tankers, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, etc., and finally Chen Xin selected 120 F14s with relatively good integrity, leaving 60 F16 and F15 each.

Of the 240 fighters, 200 of them reach Somalia in a smooth way.

Chen Xin, an air tanker, chose 20 KC-10s, but this was far from ensuring that such hundreds of fighters could fly a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers.

Fortunately, Chen Xin accidentally found that there were still more than 30 civilian versions of Boeing 747 freighters in the aircraft cemetery, so he waved his hand and directly selected 30 of them for the steel hammer to convert them into air tankers.

In this way, the support fleet of 50 air refueling units is also sufficient.

Then, Chen Xin selected 10 C-5 Galaxy strategic transport planes, and by the way, he also found 20 early versions of the AH-1 Cobra gunship, and he planned to load these helicopters into the Galaxy transport plane and pack them away.

With the capacity of the C-5 Galaxy, it is more than enough to fit two Cobra gunships.

For the rest, Chen Xin selected four E-3 "Watchtower" early warning planes for long-range command and alert, and six EP-3 electronic warfare planes for electronic countermeasures.

All the planes add up to a total of 310 (excluding helicopter gunships), including 240 fighters and 70 support aircraft, which is enough to fight a high-intensity local war.

Even if it is the U.S. military, unless Okuguanhai recalls all the fighter jets scattered around the world back to his homeland, it is simply a fool's dream to intercept such a terrifying wave of air power. (To be continued......)
