The operator gave the WR-99 a command to ignite the engine, which is the operation in remote control mode, and in the case of autonomous mode, the ignition time will be determined by the UAV's artificial intelligence system, which is too difficult for the artificial intelligence system.

The piston engine of the WR-99 roared, the propeller began to turn, and at this time, a large amount of high-pressure steam drawn from the nuclear reactor of the Beijing ship also began to push the catapult, under the impetus of the catapult, the speed of the WR-99 gradually increased, and at the moment of flying off the deck, the operator issued a command to adjust the elevator, and the WR-99 slowly rose into the sky, and then flew smoothly in the sky.

Lin Yuan asked Zhang Chengwu: "What are you going to test in this battle?" Can autonomous air combat be tested? ”

Zhang Chengwu shook his head and said: "Autonomous air combat involves the automatic discovery of targets, which requires us to have strong image analysis capabilities to distinguish targets from the sky background, but it is difficult for us to do this with our existing technology." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then we're going to test remote-controlled air combat this time?" ”

Zhang Chengwu replied: "That's right, that's right. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Who is the air combat operator?" ”

At this time, an operator stood up and saluted Lin Yuan, and Zhang Chengwu introduced: "His name is Cheng Dong, and he is a pilot of the Fourth Air Division, and we seconded him from the Fourth Air Division to test our remote-controlled air combat system. ”

Lin Yuan walked in front of Cheng Dong with a smile, only to see a huge screen in front of him, the screen was a clear blue sky, and below the screen was a large number of flight parameters, and there were two rod-like operating devices on the operating platform under the screen, which were very similar to the steering stick and throttle stick on the Charizard.

At this time, Zhang Chengwu walked to Lin Yuan, pointed to the set of equipment in front of Cheng Dong and said: "This is our unmanned control device, we can remotely control the WR-99 through this device, and the scene on the screen is transmitted back by the camera in the cockpit, which is similar to what the pilot sees." ”

At this time, an operator suddenly said: "Report to the commander of the troops, the J-25 command aircraft sent a message that the WR-99 is only 3 kilometers away from the non-friendly target." ”

With the sound of the report, a map of the air battle situation appeared on the big screen in front of the UAV control room, this situation map is the same as the one Lin Yuan saw when he competed with Luo Wen in the aviation base, two blue light points represent enemy aircraft, a red light point represents his own aircraft, and there are constantly beating numbers under the situation map, showing the combat situation of the two sides.

Zhang Chengwu's eyes flashed with a different kind of excitement, and he said excitedly: "Attention of all departments, the first air combat test of WR-99 is about to begin. ”

As soon as Zhang Chengwu said this, Lin Yuan obviously felt that everyone in the drone control room was different, their faces were full of excitement, and their movements involuntarily accelerated.

At this time, Cheng Dong put a hat-like thing on his head, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with doubts, Zhang Chengwu hurriedly said on the side: "Lin Shuai, this hat-like thing is controlled by the camera, the pilot uses his eyes to observe the target in the plane, and he only needs to turn his head, but the remote control personnel on the ground can't do this." ”

"Remote control personnel can't use their hands to control the camera to steer, and if they use their hands to control the camera to steer, their hands will have to leave the steering stick and throttle stick, which is quite unfavorable for air combat."

Lin Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant, and at this moment, Cheng Dong suddenly frowned and said, "I feel that the camera is delayed too obviously, my head has been turned over, and the camera has not kept up." ”

Zhang Chengwu hurriedly said: "Quick, record this situation." ”

Cheng Dong turned his head according to the direction indicated by the J-25, so despite the delay of the camera, he still saw the direction where the enemy plane was, and two black dots appeared on the screen, one in front and one behind, Cheng Dong asked: "Do we turn to the direction of the enemy plane to attack?" ”

Zhang Chengwu said bluntly: "Attack! ”

Cheng Dong agreed, and operated the fighter to fly towards the direction of the enemy plane, and only needed to control the ailerons and rudder swing to complete this action, which was the pilot's most basic flight action, but he didn't expect that when Cheng Dong completed the action, the scenery on the screen turned suddenly, and the scene on the screen was no longer the blue sky, but the approaching sea.

At the same time, the altimeter at the bottom of the screen fell vigorously and the level was deflected, indicating that the WR-99 drone was falling in an oblique manner.

Lin Yuan, Zhang Chengwu and Cheng Dong were all stunned, Lin Yuan was the first to react, and said anxiously: "The plane is falling, hurry up and change it, increase the throttle, and adjust the rudder surface." ”

Cheng Dong glanced at the flight parameter table, pushed the throttle stick with his left hand to increase the engine power, and controlled the steering stick with his right hand, and the plane changed its falling state when it fell about 200 meters, and resumed its stable flight.

Zhang Chengwu hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

At this time, an operator got up and said: "Report to the captain, there is a problem with the flight control program, which led the plane to fall suddenly, and the specific problem of the program is being detected." ”

Lin Yuan was not surprised, because such a thing as a program is easy to make mistakes. After such a small twist and turn, the two target planes have disappeared from view, and they can only be searched for again.

At this time, an operator suddenly reported: "Captain, the J-25 command plane has sent a message that two enemy planes have discovered our plane and are flying towards our plane." ”

Zhang Chengwu immediately said: "Go up and test the effect of air combat." ”

Cheng Dong replied loudly: "Yes! Then he was about to maneuver the plane to fly towards the enemy plane, but at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute! ”

Zhang Chengwu and Cheng Dong were both stunned, because Lin Yuan had never interfered in the plans of his professional troops, according to Lin Yuan's words, he would not be a layman to lead an insider, and they were very surprised to see Lin Yuan actually open his mouth to interrupt Zhang Chengwu's command, and looked at Lin Yuan intently.

Lin Yuan said: "Your camera has a significant delay, which is a fatal flaw in air combat, and this defect must be improved before conducting an air combat test and returning home immediately." ”

Zhang Chengwu did not disobey Lin Yuan's intentions, so he said to Cheng Dong: "Return immediately." ”

Cheng Dong agreed, and then manipulated the plane to fly in the direction of the aircraft carrier, but it was too late, and the big screen in front of the drone control room clearly showed that two blue light spots were approaching the red light spot at high speed.

Zhang Chengwu hurriedly said: "Lin Shuai, the speed of the British Thor's fighter is far faster than our WR-99, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape, let's go back and fight." ”

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate, and said directly: "That's good, go back and fight, and accumulate real yàn counts." ”
