Canada's Yukon Territory, near the U.S. state of Alaska, was almost entirely open to the U.S. after the outbreak of the war, and is now an important weapons testing ground for the U.S. military. In the face of China's endless advanced weapons, and even some superweapons with obvious advantages, the US military has suffered a lot and has always been suppressed at a disadvantage. To change this dilemma, the U.S. Congress and the White House have nearly authorized and allocated funds for all weapons that appear feasible and can close the gap with China's superweapon, or even give the U.S. military an advantage on the battlefield.

As a national treasure scientific research expert who has developed a series of high-end weapons such as the MQ-1 Predator, Grigory Kirk has received a lot of investment in this tide, which has led the rapid development of many projects and the emergence of a number of weapons with actual combat value and potential.

In the Yukon, senior officials from the US DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and the Department of Defense are witnessing the essence of the "New Mystery" - "Wave Rider". On the other hand, the Wave Rider X-51A aircraft was jointly developed by Boeing and Pratt & Whitney, and when you see the beginning of the X sequence, you know that this is a verification machine, mainly to verify new technologies including endothermic fuel scramjet engines, so as to lay the foundation for the realization of the US military's rapid global strike plan.

In this plane, Kirk took a different approach, developing a new scrambling engine that was different from the Boeing and Pratt & Whitney, and improving the thermal efficiency of this engine, which greatly increased the range and speed of the Waverider.

"Mr. Minister, allow me to introduce you to America's newest killer weapon, the Wave Rider. This weapon is a hypersonic strike weapon, which has been put into practical use from the stage of technical verification, and now the wave pilot you see is already a missile with a conventional warhead. It flies at high altitude, using a unique wave-riding technology, there is no pressure communication on the upper and lower surfaces, and the pressure difference resistance on the upper surface is small, so that it has a very amazing flight speed, which can reach more than Mach 7, basically, the wave rider can hit any corner of the world within an hour, and it can carry a nuclear warhead with a yield of 1-50,000 tons, plus its flight trajectory is very complex, the speed is too fast, and it is difficult for the enemy to intercept. A DARPA functioner excitedly presented to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.

During this weapon test, Rumsfeld personally came to Yukon, Canada, to observe the use of this weapon, because the United States now needs a weapon that can calm the scene; although the US military has a nuclear arsenal of tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, only when they start dropping nuclear bombs at each other, then it is already a situation of broken jars. In contrast, China has the Century Bomber and the vacuum implosion bomb, both of which can play a decisive role on the battlefield, and even because of the fear that China will use the Century Bomber to bomb the US mainland, Bush Jr.'s office is now in the underground reinforced command post of the White House, because in the face of the Century bomber, it is difficult for the US military to discover it, and once it sees it, it will be too late.

"The Wave Rider can be used not only as a strategic weapon, but also as a very good tactical weapon, and we have modified its core technology scrambling engine, which allows us to obtain a variety of different models of Wave Riders with a range of 1,000 km, 3,000 km and 5,000 km. Imagine that even if we do not have a large number of fighters deployed in overseas bases and no aircraft carrier battle groups outside the hot theater of operations, we have a few wave pilots, and we can hit the enemy's important targets in the theater of operations in tens of minutes, whether it is a Chinese naval base, or a Chinese arsenal known to intelligence, or even the armored cluster of China's large-scale mechanized forces, the power of the wave carrier is enough to destroy it. With the Wave Pilot, we have the initiative on the battlefield, and even if China has a numerical advantage in the region, it will be difficult for it to avoid our destruction from thousands of miles away. The DARPA staff continued to narrate with great interest, but the members from the Alaska Mystic Palace were all calm and calm, as if this great weapon had not been developed by them.

Rumsfeld smiled and clapped his hands: "It sounds like a very powerful thing, come, release this beast, let us all see its horror, and hope that it can become a dragon slayer weapon for us to defeat China." ”

Originally, the U.S. military planned to launch the Wave Rider in silos like a batch of ballistic missiles such as Peace Guardians and Militia, but Kirk from the former Soviet Union thought it was a stupid way and insisted on using road-mobile launchers, so the GM heavy truck became part of the weapon system.

In fact, the Wavepilot can also be launched from an air platform such as the B-52, and when the land-based platform is launched, a thruster is actually added, and after the rocket engine sends it into the air, the scrambling engine of the real Wavepilot will start, and then carry out its own hypersonic flight.

Rumsfeld also personally pressed the launch button remotely, and of course the preparations were all done by professionals, and the Wave Rider missile responded to the sound and rushed directly into the sky in the high latitudes. After entering the set altitude, the final stage of the rocket separated, and the Wave Rider headed towards a target set on the island of Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada, because the distance was more than 3,000 kilometers, so the Wave Rider only needed more than 20 minutes to hit the target.

There was a screen set up in front of Rumsfeld and others, which was a real-time picture of the Newfoundland shooting range, and after waiting for a while, a bright light flashed, followed by a huge mushroom cloud rising from the shooting range. This time the real yàn was quite successful, the error did not exceed ten meters, indicating that the accuracy of the wave rider is very powerful, and the power of the new super explosive, also from the mysterious palace in Alaska, is also refreshing, and even an official from the Pentagon pulled the DARPA staff and asked: "Are you sure you didn't use the warhead of the atomic bomb?" ”

"It's a really great weapon!" Rumsfeld lamented, but at the same time, he also had a certain concern, obviously the wave rider can strike at the Chinese army very well, but if the Chinese react wrong and use nuclear weapons to fight back, then the whole hot course of the war will immediately be different.

Despite this, after learning about the strong side of the wave carrier, Bush still ignored the fact that the wave carrier was still not mature enough, and purchased this kind of missile on a large scale, especially in places like India and South Africa, where it is difficult for the US military to find a cheap one, and the input cost of the aircraft carrier battle group is too high, and the wave carrier carrier is obviously more suitable.
