A dreamless night.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, when the network conditions were relatively good, Long Yun logged into the server and waited for the official start of the test match.

Before that, Tong Guò carefully read the email instructions sent by the operator, and Long Yun roughly understood the general rules of the test match.

Generally speaking, if there is always someone in the game who suspects that someone is cheating and will run to report him to the GM, there are only two possibilities: either he is really a shameful cheater, or his skills are too good to be true.

In this case, the GM will intervene in the investigation as appropriate; If nothing procedurally suspicious is found, then the playtester needs to investigate the player further, i.e. conduct a test match.

To check if a player is cheating, it's a good idea to just let them play in a designated location; But it's expensive, and the player is just having fun, so he's not obligated to take such a troublesome test. Therefore, using the camera to grasp the player's game environment is a more compromise choice. To do this, Long Yun set up the camera on a high place so that the field of view could cover his computer desk, so that the GM could clearly see his every move.

Using the designated model to play against the testers is a bit new to Long Yun.

Except for the MiG-29, he has hardly used other models in the game before, which can be regarded as a human habit, and he always tends to fight with familiar things. Long Yun felt that his mastery of the MiG-29 was mainly due to the wonderful driving experience in his dreams, although he was still a little inexplicable until now.

But today, as instructed by GM, he clicked on "random selection", and he found that the model he was assigned to was actually the J-8I, a niche option that had never been used before.

For the J-8I fighter, if it is in terms of appearance and fame, Long Yun is actually very familiar.

The research and development of the J-8 dates back to the sixties of the last century.

For well-known reasons, after the hostility with its strong neighbor in the north, China has long been in the dual dilemma of facing strong air defense pressure and lack of air defense means. With the increasing military strength of the northern powers, the deployment of a large number of advanced fighters and supersonic bombers has put China's strategic depth under unprecedented threat.

On the other hand, due to its weak industrial and scientific and technological foundation, China has been unable to provide the Air Force with equipment that can meet operational requirements in quantity and quality for a long time. Due to the misjudgment of the development trend of air warfare, the performance of the J-6, which has reached thousands of units, is very backward, and the newer fighter aircraft has been unable to achieve substantial mass production and delivery for a long time.

Modern air defense operations are a confrontation between systems, and without advanced air defense fighters, the embarrassment of China's air defense capability can be imagined by relying solely on the "Hongqi-2" surface-to-air missiles, which are also copied from the Soviet S-75 system and with limited performance, and a large number of direct-aim antiaircraft guns of various calibers without radar guidance.

The abrupt contrast between the long border line and the scarce number of air defense fighters made the military's demand for a new high-speed interceptor increasingly urgent, so starting from the J-7 copied from the Soviet MiG-21, the science and technology department began to enlarge the design, using a twin-engine layout and lengthening the fuselage, and the final model was the J-8.

Due to the excessive pursuit of high-altitude and high-speed flight performance, the J-8 sacrificed many indicators -- in fact, due to the limited technical strength, it is difficult to say how ideal even the high-altitude and high-speed performance originally pursued. Moreover, due to the limited electronic technology in China at that time, the J-8, which made its first flight as a prototype in 1969, did not begin to have a real all-weather combat capability until 1982, when the J-8I was developed with a fire control radar. At this time, the American F-14 has been in service for ten years, and the Soviet Union's MiG-29 has also entered mass production preparations, as the world's last second-generation fighter, the performance of the J-8I that has just been born is far behind the world's advanced level.

However, despite this, as the first self-developed fighter in China's history, its slender shape and simple structure have impressed everyone who has seen it.

Despite the backward level of technology, during the years when the air pressure in the north was at its highest, the J-8 was still the only fighter in the country that could effectively intercept supersonic bombers like the Tu-22M.

Piloting a fighter plane that doesn't even have a radar, and using an extremely unreliable close-range missile to chase down an intruder who is penetrating the defense at twice the speed of sound and is surrounded by a dense escort fighter plane, it may sound completely reckless and rash, but it is really a battle for which only the brave who sacrifice their lives and forget their lives can fight. As a symbol, a sign that a nation is moving toward self-reliance and striving to become strong, the Type 8 has its own unique position in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Time passes, weapons can be obsolete, and soldiers will eventually grow old; But the indomitable spirit that once changed the color of the sky can never be erased.

Returning to reality from meditation, for Long Yun, who is now controlling her, she realizes that this matter is not so simple.

Prior to this, he had never used a slender interceptor like the J-8I in the game, and it can be said that he was not prepared for its flight control at all. Although it was a test match, Long Yun also wanted to achieve good results, but now it seems that this goal may still be a little reluctant. However, it doesn't hurt that the purpose of the test match is not to win, but to test whether the player's mastery of combat skills is really that comprehensive.

After spending ten minutes reading the operation documents, Long Yun briefly understood the instrument and some parameters, and then entered the battle.

To his surprise, the model chosen by the opponent in the test match was actually the MiG-23MS.

MiG-23, which is a model designed by the Mikoyan-Glevich Design Bureau of the Soviet Union in the sixties of the last century, as a typical example of the third generation of Soviet fighters (the second generation by Western standards), more than 6,000 have been produced before and after, and they have a high reputation in the world. The MiG-23, which adopts a high-thrust turbojet engine and a variable-swept wing design, can fly to a high speed of Mach 2.35, and at the same time, thanks to the variable-swept wing, it has good flight characteristics and has quite comprehensive combat capabilities. However, in the virtual game world, because the control method is relatively complex and the radar performance is relatively poor, it is not suitable for dogfighting battles that are commonplace in games, so almost no one will use it.

In this way, today's contest is quite fair, and Long Yun suddenly came to the spirit of this test match. He knows the performance of the J-8I model, which can be said to be quite close to the MiG-23MS; Neither side has the ability to launch medium-range missiles, and whoever has better technology and luck will be able to win.

Who is the brave when they meet on a narrow road? Long Yun was already a little impatient.
