Chapter 452: Expeditionary Reconnaissance Operation

With General Fan Yi's consent, Xu Ziling just let it go, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately asked the lion to take out the plan.

Seeing the plan, he finally understood why these two guys had to be so expensive, and the materials used to generate microwaves were all counted in ten tons, not to mention the electronic components such as cutting-edge chips inside.

However, when he saw that its shell could move at the speed of light in the atmosphere without combustion, he felt that this thing was a little more expensive, but it was really worth the money.

After looking at it for a while, he came to Mr. Zhang's office with the plan, and after explaining the situation to Mr. Zhang, he handed him the plan and asked him to arrange for someone to start working on it.

The arrangements have been arranged, and the next days are calm and calm, walking around the workshop every day, walking around the "Eagle Eye" project department, walking around the office building, not too busy, not too idle, just like a normal white-collar worker into a 9-to-5 working state.

Such days persisted until half a month later, and the fact that the reconnaissance plane rolled off the assembly line in the workshop finally broke his peace.

Because the fuselage material is lighter than that of the "Shadow Dragon No. 1" and the stealth function has been canceled, the reconnaissance plane has undergone a major change in space and weight, and the weight of the whole aircraft has become lighter and the space has become larger.

The extra space was changed to fuel storage, so that the range of the aircraft was doubled, and in terms of speed, compared with the "Shadow Dragon", it has also been improved to a certain extent, reaching Mach 9 in a short burst, Mach 5.5 in standard speed, and the flight altitude has also entered the absolute safety line of 38,000 meters.

After the wind tunnel test, Xu Ziling saw that the weather was good, and immediately let people get the plane to the runway and conduct the first flight test.

In the past year, the test flight activities have been taken for granted in the eyes of everyone in the military factory, and the carrier-based aircraft, transport planes, helicopters, and "Flying Eagle" fighters of the "Thunder Dragon," "Shadow Dragon," and "Thunder Dragon" have been tested every month since the second half of last year.

With "Shadow Dragon No. 1" in front, Xu Ziling did not control it himself this time, but honestly sat in the audience and watched.

Smoothly lifted off from the runway, climbed, simple maneuvers, speed, one by one tests, flew in the sky for thirty minutes, the plane landed smoothly, and then the relevant personnel began to collect data, and then analyze and calculate, so Xu Ziling did not interfere in everything.

"No problem, right?" The moment the plane landed, he immediately asked the lion.

"No problem at all!" Because the two were curious about Area 51, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they could officially fly when they got the plane, so Xu Ziling immediately decided to try it out tonight.

"Fatty, arrange a group of ground staff to work overtime tonight." pulled over Wang Jian, who was watching the first flight with him, and said to him.

Wang Jian naturally didn't have any opinions on his arrangement, and he also knew that he always made some mysterious moves, although he was a brother, but Xu Ziling, who he understood, didn't take the initiative to tell him, he definitely didn't ask, and he answered and went to arrange.

Seeing Wang Jian walking away, Xu Ziling didn't stay in the terminal for long, turned around and went back to his office, and called General Fan Yi again.

"The reconnaissance plane has just completed a test flight, and all the data are normal, and I am going to go for a walk tonight, and I need the cooperation of the satellite."

"So fast? It's been less than a month? "Fan Yi was really a little surprised by the efficiency of the military factory, he said that it would be delivered in one and a half months, and he thought it was fast enough, but looking at it now, a month has not yet arrived.

"The delivery time is still at that time, and it is still in the test flight for the time being, and the control system is also for our own use, and it needs to be modified at that time."

For some reason, the "Shadow Dragon" has not been included in the list of military factories for sale, and in order to be simple to operate, Xu Ziling designed a portable control terminal, this kind of terminal has an advantage, that is, a person can also operate, but there are also disadvantages, the control terminal pays attention to the flight control and weapon system, and the reconnaissance system must need additional personnel and computers to cooperate, that is to say, this system is not very suitable for use in reconnaissance aircraft.

So it is certainly inevitable that the control terminal and control system will be changed before delivery.

"Oh, I see." After listening to Xu Ziling's explanation, Fan Yi looked clear, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll let the satellite department contact you, and you can communicate with them yourself." ”

"Okay, thank you, thank you......" Seeing that Fan Yi didn't even ask where he was going to turn the plane, Xu Ziling hurriedly hung up the phone with a thousand thanks, sat in the office and thought about it, and made another call to the terminal, naming a tester who usually has a strict mouth to stay and work overtime, and then continued to sit in the office, waiting for someone from the satellite department to contact him.

When it was time to get off work, he went home first like last time, and after eating at home, he talked to his family and Yang Ruolan, and then went back to the military factory with Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng.

"What's your job?"

After getting into the car, Yang Kaiming and Li Chengdu were curious about what Xu Ziling was going to do, and as soon as the car came out of the door, the two asked.

"I remember the last time I was in that underground base, I didn't say that I found a suspicious address after the worst, and then I checked, and this place was actually District 51, so I got this reconnaissance plane and prepared to go and see it tonight." For the two of them, Xu Ziling didn't have anything to hide.

"Damn, you actually hit the idea on the head of the above."

Yang Kaiming immediately figured out what was going on, and scolded with a smile.

However, Li Cheng didn't turn a corner for a while, and when he heard Yang Kaiming say this, he didn't know what he meant, and looked at the two of them in confusion.

"You stupid, after he came back, he asked the top if he wanted a reconnaissance plane, but now he said to go to 51 to go for a walk, which is not clear to let the top pay for it, but he uses it for private work." Seeing his confused appearance, Yang Kaiming said to him in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel.

"Hey...... You're really cunning. It's all so clear, if Li Cheng still can't figure out the cattiness, it's in vain, "But I don't know if you did this?" ”

"What's wrong with Zhilu Dao?" Xu Ziling smiled and didn't care, "Now that the plane has just rolled off the assembly line, and it is still during the test flight, I said that I will conduct a long-distance flight test tonight, where to go is not up to me?" And even if you know the way, it's not a big deal, why don't you just take a few photos! ”

Hearing Xu Ziling say this, the two really felt that this was the case, although they knew that he was quibbling, but others did not know the way, the biggest feature of this reconnaissance plane is its journey, after it went offline, it was understandable to test its long-distance sailing ability, and others would not suspect that a few people were doing private work.

The car quickly arrived at the military factory, and several people did not stop in front of them, and went directly to the terminal of the airport.

Outside the control hall, the security personnel were still standing guard, and a few people walked inside, the lights were bright, but it was empty, and only the people designated by Xu Ziling were waiting inside.

"Huang Gong, this mission is a long-range test flight, the route is to circle the earth around 36 degrees north latitude, the old rules, the secrecy level is 3s, your task is to assist me in flying."

Approaching Engineer Huang, Xu Ziling immediately told him about the mission.

"Good!" Huang Gong had also participated in such a task a few times, and he was not surprised by another task of this level, nodded, and immediately sat down in his place and began to prepare.

"You can sit down as you please!" Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng were completely soy sauce, Xu Ziling sat down in his own position, let the two sit at will, and he also began to prepare.

Half an hour later, it was half an hour after turning on the big screen to check whether the required instruments, communications, control terminals, etc. were normal, and it was at this time that the ground staff in the hangar also reported that the aircraft had been checked.

"Huang Gong, you test the satellite signal, and I am responsible for checking the parameters of the aircraft."

The ground crew received Xu Ziling's instructions and quickly towed the plane to the runway, and as soon as the personnel left, Xu Ziling immediately started the system.

The two cooperated, and soon the inspection was completed, taking off and landing, there was no difference between the reconnaissance plane and the "Shadow Dragon", the tail nozzle spewed out a very conspicuous blue flame in the dark night, the brake was released, the plane taxied, pulled the nose up, quickly took off, and then adjusted the course, and soon disappeared into the night sky, and the night lights on the airport runway also began to turn off, and the airport fell into an extreme silence.

Leaving the sky above Star City, the plane was pulled out of Mach 5 by Xu Ziling, and in the rapid climb, it soon reached an altitude of 35,000 meters, and after reaching this altitude, he did not continue to pull it up, and controlled the plane to fly in the northeast direction, and after reaching 36 degrees north latitude, he adjusted the course again, set the automatic navigation, and flew east along this latitude.

"Huang Gong, you control the plane, pay attention to other planes, and remind me when you reach the sky over the island country." Flying according to the scheduled route, Xu Ziling simply let go and let Huang Gong control it, and he sat next to him, because 36 degrees north latitude happened to pass over the island country, and he wanted to see if he could detect something.

"What a shame!" Hearing Xu Ziling mention the island country, Huang Gong naturally knew what he was going to do, and he was quite supportive of this kind of thing, and immediately sat down in the original position of Xu Ziling.

The drone is set to sail automatically, and you only need to pay attention to the planes that may appear in the sky at any time, after all, they are "black flying" this time, and there is no guarantee that the planes of any country will not fly to this height, so the necessary care is still needed, Huang Gong sat in Xu Ziling's position, and immediately stared at the radar with full attention, for fear that he would encounter the planes of other countries, but he did not realize that the reconnaissance plane had not yet left his country's airspace.
