Chapter 489: Optical Stealth Experiment
"Stellar, X03 is ready. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"X04 is ready. ”
"x03, x04, note that I will be conducting optical stealth experiments. The radio beacon is not turned off during the test. Now start the countdown, 10,9...... 2, 1, go!"
With Yang Chen's countdown, when he spit out the first two words, Bai Fei found that the flying machine in front of him began to slowly become transparent, and finally disappeared completely in front of him. The whole time is no more than five seconds.
Optical stealth technology, Bai Fei also has some understanding. He knew that the most feasible optical stealth technique was to display the image behind it on the front through a highly sensitive, high-resolution display layer, and similarly, the image on the front was displayed on the back. Of course, the specific image should be calculated by the computer to remove the image distortion.
However, this method is expensive and can often only be used in low-speed, low-complexity environments. However, if the surrounding environment is a little more complicated, the computer will not be able to handle it, resulting in the display image stuck, distorted, distorted and other phenomena.
In addition, there is the use of optical fibers to refract the light from behind to the front of the body, and the light from the front of the body to the back, but this method is more complex and difficult to apply in a short period of time.
Either way, it is only in the laboratory at present, and its specific effect is not satisfactory. You only need to take a closer look to see the incongruity with your surroundings.
However, the optical invisibility in front of Bai Fei's eyes, whether he saw it with his own naked eyes or detected it with various equipment on the plane, he could hardly see any flaws.
If it weren't for the fact that the signal of the other party's on-board radio beacon was still clearly staying on the radar screen, and the sonic boom of the other party's supersonic flight was still ringing in his ears, he almost suspected that the other party had left this airspace far away.
This is almost a practical optical stealth technology, not just one that can only stay in the laboratory.
Bai Fei looked at it with a hot heart: if this technology is combined with the radio radar stealth technology and infrared stealth technology that the aircraft showed before, then what a terrifying powerful advanced fighter will be created?
No matter how unsatisfactory other aspects are, as long as there is such excellent stealth capability, then even the most advanced stealth aircraft in the United States, F-22, F-35 can easily be beaten - these two aircraft, after all, cannot be completely radio stealth, let alone infrared stealth and optical stealth!
If this technology is really put into practical use, then China's air force combat effectiveness will probably soar to the first in the world, and it may be that the second and third together are not the absolute leading first of the opponent!
"Incredible......
Wingman X04's Kim couldn't help but murmur at this time.
Yang Chen maintained the optical stealth state and flew for more than twenty minutes before finally getting out of this state.
It's not that the stealth time has come, but that he is about to leave the patrol area of the two J-10s accompanying the flight, and the other party has already said on the radio that the next journey will be accompanied by two other air force fighters.
Before finally leaving, Yang Chen said goodbye to x03 and x04 amicably.
Bai Fei wanted to ask Yang Chen several times what kind of flying machine this was, but good discipline still made him keep his mouth shut.
However, after returning to the air base, when he reported the mission to the commander of the base, he could not help but ask: "Commander, what kind of aircraft did you see today? Or is it an advanced fighter that China will be equipped with in the future?"
Unexpectedly, the commander's expression also froze for a moment, and then he replied: "This kind of flying machine, its stage and battlefield, are not only in the atmosphere. ”
Could it be......
Bai Fei's heart was beating wildly, and his good mental quality made him barely keep his composure: "Could it be an aerospace plane?"
"No, to be exact, it should be called a spaceship! A spaceship that can take off, land, and fight in the atmosphere, and can also fight in space!"
The commander's voice brought Bai Fei more shock: "Xiaobai, I know that your biggest dream is to fly into space. If...... If all goes well, this technology will be completely mastered by our country, and at that time, maybe our space fleet, at least the space fighter force, can really be formed. With your ability and meritorious service, you also have a chance to be selected into this army, work hard!"
"I will......"
Bai Fei staggered out of the commander's office like a dream, and the voice in his heart became louder and louder: "I want to fly into space!
…………
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Yang Chen maintained a speed of cruising flight, and even in order to facilitate the fighters of the Chinese Air Force to keep up, the speed never even exceeded Mach 2.
Even so, by three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he had almost flown through the airspace of Huaguo. At first he flew eastward, and when he reached the province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he turned back and headed west, until he was on the verge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
There were more than fifteen pairs of fighters flying for him, including J-10, Su-27, Su-30, and J-11 imitating Su-27. There was even a J-8 that was about to be fully decommissioned! Yang Chen was still in the airspace close to Sichuan Province, and saw two J-10Bs that should still be in the secret test flight stage to follow up and make a short accompanying flight.
As for the legendary J-20 and J-31, the most advanced stealth fighters in China, they should not have made their first flight at this time, and Yang Chen naturally couldn't see it.
In fact, he really wants to see the performance of these two stealth fighters independently developed by Huaguo, but unfortunately there are still a few years before he can get in touch, even if he is a reborn, he can't change it.
During the flight, he also conducted various other experiments - none of them, of course, weapons tests, but merely collecting data for flights in the atmosphere.
In order to further collect data, he conducted a simulated air combat drill with these fighter formations accompanying the flight after communicating with Zhu Wei and the military.
In the end, he relied on the performance of the Star to crush these fighters.
After all, this is a spacecraft with dual uses in space and atmosphere, and there are too many black technologies added, so it is no problem to crush these fighters.
However, the results of the exercise also made him very much appreciative of the quality of the pilots of the Chinese Air Force.
It can even be said that judging from his current design of mining spacecraft and aerospace aircraft, these pilots are fully capable of future mining spacecraft, aerospace fighters, and even space fighters in addition to making up for the knowledge of flying and fighting outside the atmosphere.
Of course, these pilots should be elite pilots specially selected by the Chinese Air Force, but Yang Chen also knows that the really most elite part is not among them.
Those people were either used as test pilots for the most advanced experimental fighters, or trained as astronauts, or they were performing various special missions, and Yang Chen didn't have a chance to see them.
But in any case, at least it turns out that the background of the pilots of the Chinese Air Force is still good. In the future, if the Chinese Air Force is to be transformed into the Chinese Aerospace Force (that is, a force that can fight in the atmosphere and in near-earth space), as long as the equipment keeps up, pilots will not be very scarce.
At 3:50 p.m., Yang Chen greeted the Air Force and began to climb the altitude with all his might, preparing to fly outside the atmosphere.
This time, the Air Force, the Ministry of Aerospace, the Second Artillery Corps, and other combat units and civilian units are all paying close attention.
Even foreign forces, which have been closely following the changes in China's airspace, have also paid close attention to this through the close dispatch of the Chinese Air Force.
But they don't have the convenience of the Chinese Air Force, and they can't know exactly what caused all this, and the only way is to pay attention to the spy satellites flying over China.
However, of course, China will not allow them to do this, many satellite killers have been activated, and a satellite war in space is about to break out.
At the US military base in Okinawa, Japan, an RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane, accompanied by two F-22 stealth fighters, took off and circled around China to use its electronic equipment to detect the internal radio communication signals of the Chinese Air Force.
At the same time, at the Guam Air Force Base in the United States, a mysterious high-sweep triangle aircraft carried a huge shock wave and flew into the sky. It flew very fast, quickly reaching Mach 5, and flew at an extreme speed of 10,000 meters and 20,000 meters, and finally cruising at an astonishing altitude of 38,800 meters. Like a black ghost, it quietly swept over the sky over Huaguo.
Almost all of China's air defense radar systems have not been able to find any trace of this aircraft.
This is the most advanced hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft in the United States, the Aurora strategic reconnaissance aircraft (Aurora). It is currently the most advanced strategic reconnaissance aircraft in the world, and even a powerful reconnaissance aircraft closest to an aerospace aircraft.
It has been incomparably mysterious for decades, and even with the development of technology, it still does not seem to be backward - apart from it, there is no aircraft on earth that can cruise at an altitude of 38,800 meters, whether it is a fighter, a bomber, or a reconnaissance aircraft. Even if the aerospace aircraft may have the ability to travel to and from the atmosphere, it is still questionable whether the performance can keep up at such a high altitude. After all, there is no kind of aerospace aircraft that has entered active service at present.
Through this two-pronged approach, although they still could not find a trace of the Xingchen, they still deduced the existence of something through the various reactions of the Chinese Air Force.
Hawaii.
Home of the U.S. Pacific Command.
In October 2009, Robert Willard, who had just taken office as commander of the U.S. Pacific Theater, immediately convened a high-level meeting of senior Air Force and Navy generals, staff officers, intelligence officers, and senior command officials.
"Gentlemen, our reconnaissance plane has received accurate information that there may be an advanced high-tech stealth fighter in China that is flying test. There is a need for some response to this. ”
With a gloomy face, Robert Willard said with a split head after the personnel arrived.
