However, for Duke and his monitoring system, the actual combat has comprehensively tested the capabilities and shortcomings of the system, and many imperfect places in the original system have been fully exposed in this actual combat situation, which is of great significance for the improvement of this monitoring system.

Kerry's ability to decrypt his opponent's communications in real time has been fully verified, proving that Duke's whimsical plan is no longer an impossible task, but is slowly evolving into a very operational reality.

For Duke, the only thing left to achieve this impossible task is to crack the hacking Global Hawk control system one by one. Although this is a very challenging task, for Kerry, as long as he is given enough time, there will always be a time to break the system.

It's just that Duke doesn't know how much time it takes to break this system, and now there are not many research materials that can be used as a reference for the control system of Global Hawk in China, only that it should be a Unix-like system, so what Duke has to do next, in addition to further improving the accuracy and practicability of the monitoring system, is to find as many Unix-like systems as possible to crack the intrusion test, so that Kerry can accumulate more cracking experience.

With such a demand, if anyone is paying attention to the dynamics of Duke, then they will definitely find that during this period of time, various companies under Duke are doing a strange job of collecting as many operating systems as possible, whether it is open source code, or non-public source code, and whether it is an embedded system or a server operating system, hundreds of sets have been collected in a short period of time.

Duke threw all these systems to Kerry to toss, and soon Kerry sorted them into more than a dozen types, and the encryption of most embedded systems or desktop systems was extremely weak for Kerry, even if it was a brute-force crack, it was a matter of minutes.

Only those based on minicomputers or supercomputer systems, in the case of the use of high-strength encryption measures, Kerry's brute-force cracking methods will be frustrated, but Kerry, who has studied several large operating systems, can reverse crack according to the encryption principles of these operating systems, which is infinitely more efficient than brute-force cracking.

With this "skill", Duke began to be a "geek", he first took the Pentagon's system to test the knife, and sure enough, he successfully invaded the Pentagon's system connected to the public network, although he got some so-called secrets that are still secret to the public, but after Duke read these "confidential" information, he felt that the value was not very large, and he did not find any information such as the deployment and operation manual of the Global Hawk.

It seems that Uncle Sam is not stupid in this regard, and will not connect really confidential things to the public network at all, but in an environment with a separate physical network.

After this experience, Duke followed up with Boeing, General Motors, Grumman, Lockheed. Although Martin and other companies have not obtained much really top-secret heavy information, the operation manuals and maintenance manuals of various aircraft collected can also give Kerry some side tips, and these confidential information also have high reference value for the operation and maintenance of drones developed by Duke in the future.

It's just that the source of these materials is not above board, and Duke is not enough to tell outsiders, but just wait for his own company to produce results in the future, and then transform these things into his own things and provide them.

Duke is busy here, and Cheng Chongjin on the other side is also starting to get busy, the biggest culprit of this mission is regrettable, the old J-7 aircraft was replaced under Qin Tairan's strong intervention, as Qin Tairan's designated tracking crew, Cheng Chongjin's squadron was transferred to the HNA system as a whole, and now it is replaced by a new generation of Flying Leopard fighters with a larger combat radius, and the three of them finally realized their dream of piloting a third-generation aircraft as they wished.

Moreover, due to the special requirements of Cheng Chongjin's squadron, the fighter they flew was still the latest Flying Leopard, and the latest Qinling turbofan engine S-9C was installed, which is a new type of engine made of Du's new ultra-high-precision machine tools and newly developed special materials, which has been qualitatively improved in terms of quality and performance compared with the previous generation of products.

This new fighter, which has not yet been officially named, is internally codenamed J-7C, has a combat radius of more than 2,000 kilometers without auxiliary fuel tanks, and a combat radius of more than 2,500 kilometers after attaching auxiliary fuel tanks, and can reach a maximum range of 5,500 kilometers under the cruising speed of economic fuel consumption, and can accept refueling in the air.

Obviously, this is almost the ideal aircraft tailored for Cheng Chong's mission in their squadron.

Therefore, after Cheng Chongjin's squadron was transferred to the HNA, he began to train frantically, for them, the third-generation fighters just had more sophisticated equipment and better fire control systems, and there was not much difficulty in flight adaptation, and they quickly mastered the skillful take-off and landing skills, and because of more automatic control measures, most of the time the piloting was relatively easier.

It's just that this kind of large aircraft is compared to the J-7, and for the time being, in terms of maneuverability, Cheng Chongjin is not as dexterous as the J-7, but these things will not be too much of a problem, and in the process of tracking the Global Hawk, they don't need to make many difficult maneuvers at all.

And Qin Tairan is not idle, according to Duke's plan for the improvement of the monitoring system, he needs to organize manpower to rush to produce the second generation of the Global Hawk monitoring system in addition to the existing ground monitoring station and air monitoring system continue to improve, Duke designed a maritime monitoring system, they can use a smaller volume and less energy consumption to complete the task of detecting the Global Hawk communication signal.

In other words, this new thing is just to start a signal light effect, so the structure is more sophisticated, the cost is low, it can be deployed on the sea surface or uninhabited islands and reefs, each such monitoring equipment can detect the signal sent by the Global Hawk within a range of 60-80 kilometers, so it can be established at a very low cost to establish a global hawk "cordon" that stretches for thousands of kilometers.

Obviously, for a country like ours with extremely vast seas and frontiers, this kind of low-cost surveillance signal has a strong practicality, although it cannot provide more information, but it can tell you in time whether the "thief" has slipped in.

The improved ground monitoring system and air monitoring system have higher accuracy and stronger positioning functions, and for some important military areas, the installation of this system can quickly locate the approximate position of the Global Hawk and create conditions for the next step to drive away or destroy it.

So, after a new campaign against the Global Hawk, Duke is ready to deliver the final blow to capture Operation Global Hawk one by one!
