When the tarpaulin was lifted and the wings of the brand-new fighter plane appeared in front of the pilots, everyone was stunned, because the wings of this aircraft were flat straight wings, upper single wings, which was the simplest form of wings.

The pilots let out a sigh of disappointment, but Lin Yuan turned a deaf ear to the sigh of disappointment, he was still lifting the tarpaulin with the two pilots, and the pilots were full of expectations for the nose at this time, and they all discussed: "There should be some advanced things in the nose, right?" ”

But when the nose tarpaulin was lifted, the pilots' eyes almost fell to the ground, because there was nothing else in the nose but only a propeller!

This brand new fighter in Lin Shuai's mouth turned out to be a propeller aircraft, and it was propeller-propelled? Even the latest Thor fighter of the British does not use this form of propulsion anymore.

The pilots realized something even stranger, and one of the pilots whispered, "Why do I see this plane so familiar?" ”

"That's right, I look familiar!"

"I remember, isn't this the British's Charizard?"

"Yes, that's right, it's Charizard, you look at its structural layout, and then look at its cockpit form, it's obviously Charizard fighter, but the paint is different!"

"But why did Lin Shuai say that the Charizard fighter was a brand new fighter? And protect it with ZG-12B tarpaulin? ”

The pilots all looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled face, Lin Yuan was standing on the maintenance platform at this time, because the highest point of the aircraft fuselage is often two or three meters high from the ground, and people will stand on a high platform if they want to overhaul the aircraft, this high platform is the maintenance platform, Lin Yuan looked down at the pilots, and said with a smile: "Do you think this type of aircraft is nothing special?" ”

The pilots nodded in unison, and Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Come up and see what is different about this type of aircraft." ”

Several pilots went up to the maintenance platform, looked at the plane from a high place, and exclaimed: "The cockpit is different, yes, there is a lot of equipment in the cockpit." ”

"But the equipment takes up a lot of space, and it seems impossible for the pilot to sit in it!"

Lin Yuan laughed when he heard the pilots' discussions, and said, "This type of plane can't sit at all. ”

The pilots exclaimed, Lin Yuan came down from the maintenance platform at this time, and smiled at the pilots: "Everyone, please sit down, let me tell you what is going on with this type of aircraft." ”

The pilots all sat back in their chairs, and Lin Yuan said with a smile: "This type of aircraft is a drone that I asked technicians to modify, and its number in our army is WR-99 UAV, in which the letter 'WR' stands for unmanned, and '99' represents the year when the UAV was designed and finalized." ”

"The main use of this type of UAV is testing, including aircraft carrier take-off and landing tests, autonomous flight tests, remote-controlled flight tests, and so on. In previous wars, we captured a number of Charizard fighters, because they were test machines, and the test was an airborne artificial intelligence system and a remote control system, so we used Charizard. ”

The pilots exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but discuss: "It turns out that what Lin Shuai said is brand new here!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand to make a quiet gesture, and said: "The reason why I use Charizard fighter as a test machine is a more important reason, that is, I want to test the autonomous air combat ability and remote control air combat ability of this Charizard fighter in this war to liberate India, this kind of test will definitely damage the aircraft, so I will use Charizard, and I don't feel distressed if I am shot down." ”

The pilots laughed softly, and then Xu Feng came over and asked, "When did this WR-99 fighter come on board?" I don't know? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The idea of using the Liberation of India War to test unmanned troops was also recently come up with it, so this type of aircraft was only recently put on the ship, to be exact, it should be the ship when we were moored in Kolkata, and your pilots were on vacation at that time, so you are not very clear." ”

Xu Feng thought for a while and asked: "Since this type of aircraft is a drone, it means that there is no need for people to control it, so what does it have to do with our flight team?" ”

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Why doesn't it matter?" The relationship is big! I just said that this time we will test autonomous air combat and remote-controlled air combat, in fact, autonomous air combat is quite unreliable, this type of aircraft still has to rely on remote-controlled air combat, remote-controlled air combat of course depends on your pilots, so your pilots will receive training, and when the time comes, remote-control this type of aircraft to participate in the war. ”

The pilots were excited, and Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, now everyone understands what I said about 'there is value in war', right?" That's artificial intelligence technology! Our technicians have already installed the remote control Charizard combat software into the combat simulator of the flight training module, so let's go and practice in a while. ”

Lin Yuan looked at Xu Feng and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't have anything to do, take them down." Xu Feng then took the pilots down.

In the next few days, the aircraft carrier battle group went all the way south, and on July 25, it came to the sea area more than 200 kilometers from Madras, and Lin Yuan immediately sent a telegram to the governor of Madras, Ali Gaboni, which was full of diplomatic words for Ali Gaboni to surrender.

However, Lin Yuan very much hoped that Ali Gapponi would be able to resist desperately and never surrender, because then he would be able to test his drone.

Ali Gaponi, who was stationed in Madras, did not panic when he received Lin Yuan's telegram, he was an experienced and skillful politician, he was a director of the East India Company when he was young, and he contributed to the expansion of the East India Company into India.

The East India Company did not blindly use force to conquer India when expanding into India, under the planning of Ali Gaboni, their expansion methods were very clever, India has never formed a unified feudal dynasty in history, which is completely different from China, an ancient Chinese history is the history of feudal dynasties pursuing great unification.

There are many feudal princes scattered all the time on the land of India, these feudal princes are similar to the warlords in ancient China, they occupy a territory by themselves, and they raise a group of troops by themselves, and no one is subordinate to the other, and they are constantly fighting against each other.

Ali Gaboni was at odds with the warlords, sometimes co-opting one faction to fight the other, sometimes sowing discord between the two factions, and waiting for both factions to lose before reaping the benefits of the fishermen, so that the British expansion in southern India was extremely smooth.

After the dissolution of the East India Company in 1874, Ali Gaponi remained in Madras, by which time he had assumed the throne of the governor.
