Chapter 540 - This TM Is a Reconnaissance Aircraft?
Chen Chen turned around and glanced at the big screen and continued: "These reconnaissance planes are not large, and their weight is only more than 10 tons, which is a little more than half of the J-20, but all of them are unmanned aircraft.
"When the plane is not in use, it is raised head-up and hung on a special suspension in the cabin, so it takes up very little space.
"When it is time to use it, open the hatch under the belly of the patrol vessel, extend the suspension frame down out of the cabin, and then adjust the angle of the aircraft to be parallel to the patrol vessel.
"After the engine of the aircraft is started, the suspension structure falls off when the engine thrusts so that the aircraft reaches the same speed as the patrol boat, that is, when it is relatively stationary.
"Then the aircraft engine is afterburner, the plane accelerates, out of the range of the ship, the suspension frame is recovered, and the cabin door is closed.
"When the plane returns to the home and recovers, it must first fly under the cabin of the patrol ship and adjust the speed to the same speed as the patrol ship, at which time the plane and the patrol ship are relatively stationary.
"The hatch opens, extends the suspension frame, remounts the aircraft, adjusts the angle, retracts into the cabin, closes the hatch.
"There is no need for a runway and a barrage for the whole process, so the plane has no wheels, and there is no need to design a runway and a barrage outside the patrol boat."
When Chen Chen said this, some scholars couldn't help but nod their heads and said that it should indeed be this way of thinking when the air carrier releases planes, rather than building a useless runway on it.
However, in addition to the way of release and recovery, in fact, everyone is more concerned about the specific combat effectiveness of these so-called reconnaissance planes.
Combat effectiveness is the most critical issue, so when Chen Chen's explanation came to an end, someone immediately asked:
"What is the specific performance of the aircraft? Such as cruising speed, maximum speed, maximum range, weapon attack power, etc.? What is the approximate level? ”
When Chen Chen heard this question, he didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Regarding this issue, that is, the question I will talk about next, all this has to start with the structure of the aircraft.
"You see, the core part of this reconnaissance aircraft is actually a large magnetic field generator, and the fusion reaction is carried out inside the generator.
"This limited mini-fusion reactor, confined by a magnetic field, is both a source of energy for weapons and a source of power for aircraft.
"So, the weapon they use is a beam weapon, which contains high-energy rays produced by fusion, which are extremely lethal to living things.
"After a reconnaissance plane uses all its energy and uses up all its energy, the damage it can cause should reach a nuclear warhead with a yield of 200,000 tons.
"Of course, this is the power of conventional energy weapons, and if the aircraft is equipped with nuclear weapons, then their actual destructive power is comparable to that of nuclear weapons.
"Then there is speed, because after all, it is a reconnaissance aircraft, long-distance reconnaissance is its job, and its conventional cruising speed should be about 10~12 times the speed of sound.
"When entering the atmosphere, the cruising speed is about 20 times the speed of sound, and if you continue to accelerate outside the atmosphere, you can reach a maximum speed of more than 35 times the speed of sound.
"However, due to their small size, the magnetic field generator cannot sustain the fusion reaction inside for a long time.
"Therefore, when the flight distance is more than 800,000 kilometers, it is necessary to return to the mothership at least once for maintenance and reconfigure the magnetic field generator."
Chen Chen said it lightly, but this information made everyone listening to the lecture a little stunned.
Many people only have one sentence in their hearts: You are teasing me! This TM is a reconnaissance aircraft?
A single plane breaks through the atmosphere and returns on its own, this is no longer an airplane, nor a space shuttle, but an aerospace aircraft.
When the intercontinental missile on Earth enters space orbit, the maximum speed is only about 20 times the speed of sound.
In other words, the plane can easily catch up with any missile that has already been launched.
Not to mention, the highest speed of sound is 35 times, which is actually more than the second cosmic speed, and it can get rid of the gravitational pull of the sun and fly directly out of the solar system, okay!
You know, in the universe, there is almost no resistance, as long as the speed is added, it will not automatically stop.
So after reaching 35 times the speed of sound, just turn off the engine, and you can fly almost infinitely, and it can really rush out of the solar system.
Not to mention combat effectiveness, even if it is a conventional weapon, it will crush all earth fighters, if the earth aircraft uses nuclear weapons, people also have nuclear weapons, and they are more advanced and mature fusion weapons.
And the range of 800,000 kilometers is enough to fly around the earth 20 times, or run back and forth to the moon.
In the future, when you go to the moon, you don't need to bother with Bala's launch spacecraft, just let this kind of plane run once.
Many people immediately thought that the aircraft could directly accelerate through the atmosphere and attack targets in space.
Because the earthlings do not currently have the ability to fight in space, almost all artificial satellites and spaceships are completely undefended.
These satellites and spacecraft, as well as the space station, are as vulnerable as eggs in the face of these so-called reconnaissance aircraft.
If something of this level is just a reconnaissance plane, then the strongest fighter on the planet is just a child's toy.
If Chen Chen said that this plane was made on the earth, then these people would definitely think that Chen Chen was talking nonsense.
However, this thing is an alien artifact, so everything is logical.
Now that we've confirmed the power of the plane, let's go back and look at this patrol ship, which is not an aircraft carrier, but it looks like an aircraft carrier.
The power of this so-called patrol ship is enough to crush more than one aircraft carrier battle group.
Because I was too shocked and had too much information, I needed to digest it slowly, and then organize and express my own opinions.
So the current venue was a little quiet for a while.
But Chen Chen didn't mean to stop, coughed clearly, and continued:
"Everyone may think that the performance of this aircraft is very unnatural, but even such an aircraft is powerless in front of the warship protection system of the same level of civilization.
"If they accidentally touch the active protective energy shield of the battleship, they will be like an egg hitting a stone, shattering in an instant, and they have no chance to get close to the other party's spaceship.
"As for why, listen to me explain the most critical and core protection system of patrol ships!
"The protection system of the patrol ship, under normal circumstances, has a total of three layers of armor, two layers of energy shields, and these two layers of energy shields, one passive and one active.
"The so-called passive shield is a pure energy shield that can use the escaping energy to offset the damage caused by explosions and impacts when attacked.
"And the active shield, which is equivalent to the air defense system of the Earth warship, is no longer a fired shell, but a fluctuating network of energy pulses.
"They are like the power grid, when a dangerous object approaches, the active energy shield will actively expand, using energy pulses to actively destroy the opponent.
"And even if the active shield is broken, the passive shield inside can still defend against the attack of tens of millions of tons of nuclear bombs.
"For a composite energy shield of this level, their own planes can't break it, let alone the planes of the earth, and they can't go with a nuclear bomb.
"According to the data, if it is a fighter on the earth, if it hits this active energy shield, it is almost equivalent to a mosquito hitting an electric mosquito swatter, and it will basically melt in an instant."
