Chapter 128: Testing
If it was an Eagle Claw fighter, then Lu Yuan would not even think about it, the complicated operation method was not something that a person without flight training could successfully control smoothly.
But EDI is different.
It itself is a powerful artificial AI as the core, assisted by manual driving, after replacing with PUG-4, the performance is more powerful, and the modified operation mode also simplifies many steps, which is essentially different from traditional fighters.
Sure enough, after sitting in the comfortable ergonomic seat, Lu Yuan gave an order, and the cockpit was slowly lifted and closed again, perfectly embedded in the belly.
After a full set of electronic equipment modification, the interior of the cockpit is no longer the traditional ordinary instruments and displays, but the operation interface displayed in the form of stereoscopic projection, and the surrounding information image collection can also be collected through sensors on both sides, including the 360-degree viewing angle of the entire fighter up and down, left and right, without the slightest omission.
"Start the ramjet turbine engine!"
"Whirring ......"
The ramjet turbine engine started immediately, and the EDI fighter with vertical take-off and landing mode, under the thrust of the powerful engine, gradually levitated the entire fighter to a height of two meters above the ground.
The doors in front of him opened one by one, Lu Yuan held the joystick with both hands, and with the cooperation of EDI, he manually drove the fighter plane to float and glide forward, and arrived at the port after a while.
The 20-meter-diameter shaft is large enough to accommodate the fighter plane's levitation and rise, and after the fighter plane floats for thousands of meters, the topmost armor rotates and slides away to the sides, revealing a starry sky.
"Whoop......"
The blue tail flame emitted by the engine caused a huge wind pressure that repelled the surrounding air and rolled up gusts of wind and waves.
"Bang!"
The engine suddenly burst into a roar, and Lu Yuan's body in the cockpit slammed into the seat, holding the lever tightly, watching the scene around him become an afterimage. It is obvious that the fighter accelerated into the air.
The maximum overload of EDI can exceed 15G, which is far from the normal overload that humans can bear, just because EDI itself was designed as a drone at the beginning, and it does not need humans to drive, and it is far from being able to be controlled by ordinary humans.
Looking at the index sent back by the altimeter, just a few breaths. EDI broke through the altitude of 500 meters and continued to advance towards an altitude of 1,000 meters. The holograms around you are spinning around, and just looking at them can stun people. It is also thanks to Lu Yuan that he has eaten NZT, and his brain's ability to receive information has been greatly improved, which is not too much pressure on him.
1,000 meters, 1,500 meters, 2,000 meters, 2,500 meters......
Until the altitude was about 7,000 meters, the EDI fighter reversed and changed out and entered a horizontal flight state.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly exhaled.
This fighter jet is really exciting to drive. With EDI automatic control, it is terrifying, so those ordinary fighters without EDI artificial AI, such as third-generation fighters, how many years of training and learning do those pilots have to go through before they can fly the fighters accurately and indifferently?
Although Lu Yuan has not gone through more than ten years of study, his piloting experience is still improvised, and he cannot compare with those pilots in terms of comprehensive and practical application, but he has a great advantage.
The first is a physical advantage!
Lu Yuan persevered in a special way. For months, he never let up. The physical fitness has already been improved inhumanly, otherwise with the overload of seven or eight Gs just now, ordinary people would faint directly on the head, where is it as easy as him.
The second is this fighter!
With EDI monitoring and assistance, he has no fear of making mistakes in manual control. Naturally, there will be EDI to correct and cover him, and the congenital conditions will completely abuse the air force pilots of various countries...... No, the learning platforms of the two are not at the same level at all, and no country in the world dares to upgrade this. Fighters, which are almost counted as five and a half generations, are handed over to newcomers to actually learn and apply, including the United States, which does not dare to be so extravagant.
"Play big, hmm......"
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan recalled the maneuvering maneuvers he had learned from the video and began to verify them in practice.
First of all......
"Bang!"
The air exploded, and the EDI fighter rolled directly in the air, like the drum of a washing machine, frantically tumbling and drifting, and completed a big turn in an instant.
"Boom!"
Then speed up, speed up, speed up again!
Suddenly, the EDI fighter flashed through a sonic boom cloud and entered supersonic flight.
Mach 1.1, Mach 1.3, Mach 1.7, Mach 2.1......
Soon, the EDI fighter reached a supersonic cruising speed of 3.5 times Mach, that is, a high speed of about 1190M per second, a human blink of an eye, can fly out of a kilometer, two blinks, another kilometer. Take a few more breaths, and ten kilometers will fly out.
But that's not the limit!
"EDI, I'm going to speed it up to the max and get ready."
"Okay, Sir."
After getting EDI's response, Lu Yuan increased the speed of oil intake, and soon, Mach 3.5, which had remained unchanged, quickly increased the speed again, until Mach 4.5, and then stopped with difficulty.
At a speed of about 1530M per second, the EDI fighter can maintain such a flight state for 15 minutes, and it happens to be able to fly a distance of about 1500 kilometers and arrive in Melbourne, Australia in about 15 minutes.
For a fighter, such a speed is incredibly fast, basically all anti-air and air-to-air missiles are at this speed, even if EDI does not have stealth technology, the missile has just been aimed and launched, and the EDI is already several kilometers away. By the time the missiles arrived at the fighters, EDI didn't know where they had gone.
At present, the main fighters of the air forces of various countries are still dominated by third-generation fighters, and major countries can fight the enemy with three and a half generations, but this also has a two-generation gap with EDI, just like a fourth-generation fighter against the enemy's second-generation fighters, and the gap is so big that it is desperate.
"Mr. ......"
Sonny linked to the EDI communication channel, and the voice sounded in Lu Yuan's ears.
"What's wrong?"
"You are two hundred and fifty kilometers away from base, please return immediately for safety."
"Hey, it's so far?"
Lu Yuan was still immersed in the pleasure of being at high speed, and he really didn't notice this aspect. It seems that sometimes it is not a good thing for the fighter to be too fast, and people have not yet felt anything, so they flew from Chengdu over Chongqing.
EDI fighters have a combat radius of up to 2,500 kilometers and a straight-line range of almost 5,000 kilometers...... It is almost certainly a large sieve among the weak chickens, with no resistance. How to confront the US Pacific Fleet, that's interesting.
"Ahem......"
Lu Yuan naturally had no intention of looking for death, and to put it mildly, the armies of all countries in the world combined may not be able to defeat the US military in conventional warfare, and the strength of the US military is completely aimed at fighting alien races. Even if he has an EDI fighter, this mere fifth-generation and a half-generation fighter cannot resist the Pacific Fleet, that is the real way to die.
Digging a base in a low-key manner to carry out the construction of nature's miraculous work is Lu Yuan's code of conduct.
"EDI, let's get home."
After all, he was not a real pilot, he would be able to operate manually after playing, and Lu Yuan was also tired, so he simply let EDI take over the control and let go of the operating stick himself.
"Take orders, Sir."
EDI's deep voice sounded, and then the entire fighter plane descended to a height of 15 meters above sea level to carry out a sea-skimming cruise flight.
At the same moment, soothing pure music begins to play from the inside of the cockpit, surrounded by holographic projections of the real sea and stars, the atmosphere is both peaceful and peaceful, making people feel the urge to sleep beautifully.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't order EDI to play music and do all this, it was completely EDI's own actions.
"EDI, why play music?"
"Sir, according to Dartmouth College psychology professor Talia Murphy. According to Wheatley's research, soothing music activates the nucleus accumbens in the human brain, which can make you feel relaxed and happy...... In order to keep you in a relaxed mood, I have chosen to play the following classical music for you......"
Lu Yuan frowned, although EDI is an artificial AI, and in the middle and late stages of the original movie, it had a unique human emotion similar to Sonny's due to an accident, but what he ingested was EDI before the accident, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't have this kind of self.
