Chapter 11: The Aerospace Giant

Under the control of Tang Yunyang, the missile hit the target. The shells of the August 1 β‰― ≧β‰₯Chinese ≀≀<.≀ 8<1≀38o mm naval guns hit the ground. The ring-shaped shock wave looks quite noticeable in the sky. Then the smoke from the explosion of the explosives rose into the air, and it felt like a miniature picture of a nuclear bomb smoke cloud.

Subsequently, Tang Yunyang test-fired the "Harpoon I" and "Harpoon II" missiles. Compared to TV-guided bombs, these missiles with short wings in the shape of a sickle have better maneuverability. Even Tang Yunyang can fly the "Harpoon II" at an altitude of 5 meters, such missiles are somewhat like remote-controlled aircraft, and even let him find some of the feeling of playing air combat games on the computer.

Although we can know that no matter whether it is a guided bomb or "Harpoon I" or "Harpoon II", if it were put to this day, it would not be able to hit any target. To deal with such a missile that relies solely on radio remote control, electronic jamming alone can solve the problem. But at this time, this is still the most sophisticated weapon in the world.

"yes, nice weapons. But my advice is that when you sell it to someone else, don't bomb the seeker in front of it. Just let them aim at high altitudes, it's much better than a normal bomb! ”

Tang Yunyang felt good about the progress of weapons research. The only dissatisfaction is that there are not many weapons that can be displayed in the Iranian war.

"What other weapons can I try below!"

Wang Tongwu looked embarrassed, you must know that the equipment of Area 51, in addition to the weapons that have been successfully studied, can be equipped with troops in batches. Other research equipment is not allowed to be demonstrated. The first is to prevent leakage, and the second is to take into account security needs.

Tang Yunyang waved his hand unsatisfied, and there were a lot of new equipment developed in Area 51. However, because of the time of the Second World War, there was more equipment for long-term research. It's pretty good to be able to have such a result now.

"Forget it, forget it! You know I'm always interested in new gear, but I know the rules! ”

Seeing Tang Yunyang's reaction, Wang Tongwu's heart finally fell. After all, if Tang Yunyang ordered a demonstration, I am afraid it would be a difficult matter to deal with.

"Sir, it should be said that there is another piece of equipment for today's demo, and this piece of equipment has a lot to do with you!"

"Yes, there's another piece of equipment, ah, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I didn't force you, you showed it to me yourself!"

Tang Yunyang's reaction couldn't help but make the officers around him feel amused. As the founding general with the highest prestige in the country, he would actually play this child-like trick.

"Of course, sir, because this piece of equipment in the back is your new 'Eagle' airship. You'll be amazed when you see it! ”

After all, Wang Tongwu used the radio on the boat to contact the base, and what will this new "Eagle", which has been kept secret from Tang Yunyang, look like? On the way, Tang Yunyang had already guessed what was kept secret from him, but when he was about to see it now, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The "Eagle" airship is almost like a home for him. In the past ten years, he has spent more time on the airship than at home.

A huge crack in the seemingly inconspicuous ground of the air base cracked open on both sides like a scar. Then something appeared in front of everyone in the blazing desert sun, cooling with a silvery glow.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this!"

Tang Yunyang was surprised, but he had already spoken out. He simply did not understand how such a thing could be made with the technology of the Chinese Federation.

In the middle it looks like an arrow on a bow, and in the middle and back sticks out two wide short wings, which look like two pencils from a distance. The tail of these two pencils slowly encloses into two rather large vertical tails, and on the outside of the tails, a huge horizontal tail is mounted.

This was really a bit of a surprise to Tang Yunyang, and he had to ask whether this thing was an airship or an airplane, or even a battleship in the air. At least as far as he knew, he hadn't seen anything like it except in science fiction.

"What the hell is this, how do I look a little like a battleship!"

Tang Yunyang knew that it was because of the need for security. Most of the high-ranking officials of the Chinese Federation owned small airships in their own homes. This short two-hull airship, named the "Eagle class", was more suitable for officers to act with his attachΓ©.

"Of course it's an airship, but as far as I know, this thing should be half an airplane and half an airship. Seriously, I don't know what it is, but according to Mr. Wang Xiaofeng, who studied it, it is a boat. ”

After all, Wang Tongwu seemed to be afraid that Tang Yunyang would ask him those questions again, and he would not be able to answer them. took out a large thick notebook from his briefcase and handed it to Tang Yunyang.

When Tang Yunyang saw the document, it was only then that this thing was named the "Global Hawk" type airship. In fact, the "arrow" in the middle is not an airbag.

On the "Global Hawk", the airbags are arranged in a dispersed manner. A series of spherical helium capsules are arranged along the central axis of the "arrows", and the tiny spaces between the double shells and the short wings are all filled with helium. Although the shape of the "Global Hawk" looks much different from the "Eagle-class" airships of the past. However, the actual amount of helium loaded did not decrease at all, but increased. Although this resulted in a lot of mechanical calculations, they were still completed by the scholars of Area 51.

The airship was powered by four turbocharged 2ooo horsepower gasoline engines, and the lower part of the nose end of the "Arrow" actually had air intakes. Two of the 15oo horsepower motives were installed on the sides of the bottom of the "arrow" as lifting propellers, and the huge thrust allowed the airship to lift off the ground and rise. The propellers are arranged at the tail of the "arrow" to provide sufficient thrust to the airship.

In addition to this appearance, which makes people think that they have seen a "space battleship", the "Global Hawk" uses a number of new technologies. For example, the application of composite materials and aerospace aluminum, module block cabins and universal interfaces.

It should also be noted that the Global Hawk is a fully military vehicle for small attack airships. With a payload of up to 1oo tons, it can carry a considerable amount of personnel and equipment. Because of Tang Yunyang's identity and his "vice" of often liking to do it himself, he was equipped with a "Global Hawk" combat airship in order to other senior officers.

As for the other high-ranking officials, they used a new design called the "pigeon" airship with an oval shape. It is probably the politicians who have taken great pains to eliminate the psychological shadow that Tang Yunyang, the "eagle of Satan", has brought to other countries. The configuration of the "Dove" airship is comparable to that of the "Global Hawk", except that the latter has enhanced armor protection.

From this time on, there was a clear distinction between civilian and military airships in the Chinese Federation. Of course, in order to make them harmless in the skies over the rest of the countries, they are still equipped with high-ranking officials as vehicles. As for the military model, due to the convenience of the current military and civilian common model, the equipment for the military will not be considered for the time being.

That is, before the Second World War, this kind of equipment that could be used as an air warship did not appear in the sequence of the army of the Chinese Federal Republic.

"Sir, its name is the 'Yunyang' airship."

Hearing Wang Tongwu's words, Tang Yunyang raised his head in confusion.

"What's the matter, isn't the Eagle airship a good name?"

"This ...... I don't know about this, but Minister Li asked us to do this when he came. ”

Tang Yunyang was really reluctant to give up the name "Eagle", but he also knew that Li Shizeng would not do anything out of tune. Then, due to the attraction of the information, he quickly put the matter aside.

"Modular attachment pod! Well, that's a good name, it seems that the shape of the airship was changed in order to make these attachment pods usable. ”

This is the most striking feature of the Global Hawk airship, although the small airships of the past "Hawk class" also had modular pods. But it cannot be compared with the "Global Hawk", which was designed from the very beginning and was designed with a "attachment module" at the same time.

For example, the "reconnaissance attachment module" itself is equipped with reconnaissance facilities such as infrared, radar, and telescopes, and these facilities can also provide more information to the latter when they are used at the same time as the "weapon attachment module". The "command attachment module" itself has powerful communication and command functions. It is worth mentioning that these "attachment cabins" themselves, there are places to rest.

These "attachment pods" can be easily connected to the airship on the upper and lower planes of the "arrows", and all interfaces and passages are standard. The shape of this "arrow" makes it possible for the "phalanx" module of the air defense to use only 4 units, which is enough to give the entire ship careful protection. In addition, the color-changing protection function of the "Eagle" airship is now even more powerful.

Of course, there are pros and cons. The roar of the gasoline motive makes it at low altitude, without the ability of special operations, I believe that the "Devil's Journey" will definitely not like this airship. But the ceiling of up to 12ooo meters, and 2oo kilometers, make it more safe and reliable than its predecessor.

Even Tang Yunyang is now in Area 51, and some people are already exploring the use of this airship to make high-altitude radars or radio communication relay stations. If the experiment can be successful, then in the future, China's high-altitude early warning command will be the best in the world.

Tang Yunyang, who hurriedly finished reading the information, let out a long sigh, he knew that no matter what he did in other things, the direction of introducing a large number of scholars and attaching importance to scientific research was completely correct.

"Well, now that we have these new guys, it's time to move and let the world feel their power!"
