Section 08 Skynet
Wild Star.
The previous single-engine, double-winged plane was quietly parked on the shore, and the engines, zero-electric converters, servo motors, and various electronic equipment on the plane had all been removed, leaving only an empty skeleton and wires arranged like blood vessels.
The runway on the ice has become muddy, and every time the plane takes off and lands, the tyre crushing of the snow surface makes the snow and mud and grass clippings combine even deeper.
There are also 3 such muddy runways, on which three brand new planes are parked. They are very similar to Chen's design drawings, but the difference is that there are many small improvements – for example, the airplane skin has been replaced with a thin wooden board clad in copper.
Moreover, the shock absorption problem that has been plaguing Chen Zheng has been solved, and the solution is the air-hydraulic shock absorbing spring group.
To put it bluntly, it is actually similar to the shock absorber spring on high-end cars, the central column is a hydraulic shock absorber, and three air springs are installed around the hydraulic shock absorber.
Whether it is hydraulic shock absorption or air spring, the principle is the same: a steel tube with extremely high machining accuracy is stuffed into a steel column, much like a medical syringe made of metal, and the "syringe" is filled with water as a hydraulic shock absorber, and when compressed air is installed, it becomes a gas spring.
Due to the lack of a suitable airtight grease relationship, in fact, it is necessary to replenish fluid and gas every once in a while, but it is actually much stronger than the shock absorber that Chen Zheng used to absorb energy by deformation.
"Buzz ......"
The cacophony of the propellers working indicates that the plane is about to take off, a scenario that has been repeated many times over the past few days.
From design to manufacturing, from test flight to finalization, in just two days, Chen Zheng's "Skynet" has completed the whole process from birth to practicality.
"Skynet" is the name of the catamaran UAV designed by Chen Zheng, codenamed TW-03.
The Skynet 1 was naturally the World War II-era aircraft, and the 2nd was the design of Chen Zheng's other electromagnetic cannon platform, but it was abandoned by him during the demonstration stage. And now this "two-body demon" has naturally become the third model of the Skynet series.
At this time, the Skynet 3 has been close to perfection, and what Chen Zheng wants to do today is to really test the weapon system of the Skynet 3.
In the big tent of the man with glasses, with Chen Zheng's order, three TW-03s on the runway outside rushed forward at the same time, and after sliding for a certain distance, the nose of the plane was raised and soared into the sky.
As the flight set sail, all kinds of data began to be transmitted to the instrument in front of the man with glasses. Since it is impossible to build a reliable on-board computer, all the information of the Skynet drone from flight control to formation is processed by the server of the glasses man.
“…… Three thousand, four thousand...... The flight attitude is smooth, the sensors are working normally, and the application continues to rise. The man with glasses reported.
"Go on." Chen Zheng nodded.
“…… The ascent hovering begins, and the nose position is adjusted...... Five thousand, six thousand...... Nine thousand, ten thousand, reach a predetermined height, and begin to battle grouping...... The marshalling is complete, and the sighting system is warmed up...... The preheating is complete, and the basic parameters are calibrated......"
The glasses man and his younger brothers nervously reported every progress of the experiment, and it was not until the next experimental node that the glasses man asked: "The predetermined altitude has been reached, the parameter correction has been completed, do you want to shoot at the target?" ”
"Fire when you're ready, don't ask me." With that, Chen Zheng walked out of the tent and looked at the drone in the sky.
At this time, the drones with a length of 13.3 meters and a wingspan of 16.1 meters have become the size of flies, and if you don't know their direction, it is really difficult to spot them with the naked eye.
"No. 31 began to aim accurately, capturing target data...... Data Entry...... Charge up, fire! ”
"Fire."
"Fire."
As three confirmed shots rang out one after another from the tent behind him, three faint traces were faintly visible in the sky and suddenly ejected from the black spots in the sky......
Chen Zheng squinted his eyes, and counted 1 or 2 silently in his heart......
"Boom!!"
In just over two seconds, the copper pillars fell to the ground one after another at a speed faster than a meteor, and a huge roar could be vaguely heard even standing here.
From the launch to the explosion, it was a little more than 2 seconds. The distance of 10,000 meters is crossed in less than two seconds, and the average speed should be around 15 to 20 times the speed of sound!
Chen Zheng still remembers that when testing the electromagnetic cannon for flat fire before, the muzzle velocity should be about 8 times the speed of sound, and now the reason why it can reach the current ultra-high speed has to be said that this is the benefit of condescending.
Isn't that what makes ballistic missiles so terrible? The terminal 30 times the speed of sound can break through all so-called anti-missile systems, and the most reliable interception window for anti-missile systems on Earth, including the United States, is in the middle - before the re-entry of the atmosphere.
Once the ballistic missile is allowed to enter the final dive...... All terminal interception methods are like catching bullets with bare hands, and the success rate can be imagined.
"Uhhh
"Hit!"
There was a burst of cheers from inside the tent, and Chen Zheng returned to the tent and looked at the image displayed on the screen: there were only a few large pits and wood chips left in the target area, and there was no trace of the crude 1:1 puppet of the log.
"Keep testing, this time with a dynamic target." Chen Zheng said.
