Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Stalker No. 1
The Minister of Defense of Eagle Sauce Country, who has been impatient, finally waited for the good news he wanted on this day.
The aircraft carrier of the Deep Blue company can already enter the test flight stage.
The Minister of Defense immediately left for the Deep Blue Company.
Although the secret R&D base where the aircraft carrier is located is located in the uninhabited Gobi, the entire body of the aircraft carrier at this time has been completely covered with a layer of mirror material that can reflect lasers.
If you test fly during the day, then it may be because of the refraction of sunlight, which makes this thing especially obvious from tens of kilometers away.
So to be on the safe side, it was decided to do another test flight in the middle of the night.
At one o'clock in the morning, the barren Gobi Desert is surprisingly quiet, and the moonlight shines here as if shining on a pool of stagnant water.
At this time, two military helicopters suddenly circled in the night sky, scouting back and forth within a radius of several kilometers.
After making sure that there was no one around, the news was reported to the base located underground.
Then, the ground began to shake violently.
A vertical gap slowly opened, exposing the entire underground space.
Although it was already late at night, the moonlight shining on this aircraft carrier was still particularly dazzling, emitting silver rays.
With a roar, the four engines located on either side of the aircraft carrier erupted blue flames.
Immediately afterwards, the aircraft carrier slowly rose and left the underground base.
The base burst into thunderous applause, because this was the first time that all R&D personnel, including the Minister of Defense, had seen such a spectacle.
Then, the control center received a report from the crew on the aircraft carrier.
"Night Owl One, request lift-off."
Night Owl is the code name given by the Minister of Defense to this aircraft carrier.
For him, he wanted this aircraft carrier to have claws like an owl and catch the satellites of the Great Xia Kingdom in space one by one.
Everyone in the control center looked at the Minister of Defense.
The Minister of Defense said into the microphone: "Allowed to take off, it's time for us to see what this aircraft carrier is capable of." ”
Then, the four huge engines of the aircraft carrier let out a high-pitched roar, and the blue flames that were spewing out were slowly getting longer.
Everyone saw that Night Stalker No. 1 began to climb into the air at a speed visible to the naked eye at this time.
As the engine spews longer and longer flames, so does the speed at which it climbs upwards.
A huge silver object that could have been seen when you looked up turned into a small bright spot in less than a minute.
Until finally, Night Stalker-1 reported to the control center that they had begun to break out of the atmosphere.
The Minister of Defense's heart finally settled down, and for him, the Eagle Sauce Country finally had a weapon that could fight against the Skyfire system.
Eagle Sauce has always liked to play some psychological tactics.
If this matter had been released as news, it should have been released during the news time of the Eagle Sauce Country.
But they didn't.
Because of the time difference between the Eagle Sauce Country and the Great Xia Kingdom, the Ministry of Defense deliberately released the news to the media before this, so that everyone knew that there might be explosive news to announce soon.
After enough attention has attracted the world's attention.
At the broadcast time of the evening news of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Eagle Sauce Kingdom held a press conference.
Moreover, the spokesman this time is the Minister of Defense of Eagle Sauce Country himself.
Speaking to reporters from all over the world, the Minister of Defense announced: "Recently, we have successfully developed a new weapon and will test it immediately." ”
The reporters in the audience immediately asked me word by word.
"What kind of weapon, is it an offensive weapon? Or a defensive weapon? ”
"Is it a newly developed ship, or a new aircraft?"
"When is the specific time of the test?"
"May I ask if this weapon research and development is aimed at the Great Xia Kingdom?"
Although the Minister of Defense had a smile on his face, he could not hide his proud expression.
He looked at the camera squarely and said, "Strictly speaking, what we developed this time cannot be completely regarded as a ship, nor can it be said that it is a pure flying machine. ”
The reporters present, including all those watching the live broadcast in front of the television, were puzzled.
The defense secretary added: "The new weapon we have developed should look like an aircraft carrier on the surface, but it can not only sail long distances on the sea, but also travel in space." ”
After speaking, he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the photo of Night Owl No. 1 was immediately displayed on the big screen behind him.
Everyone was amazed to see this aircraft carrier suspended in the air.
However, at this time, in the Great Xia Kingdom, Lu Chuan, Li Shengdong, and Guangye were also shocked when they saw this aircraft carrier covered with mirror materials.
Guangye frowned and said, "Sure enough, looking at the mirror of the aircraft carrier, it is indeed aimed at our Tianhuo system." ”
Although now the Skyfire system has added microwave ray emitters.
But when Lu Chuan saw this aircraft carrier, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, he knew in his heart that the attack range of microwave rays was extremely limited, and it was still a question mark whether it would really be useful in the face of such a large big guy.
He was really worried if this big guy carried out a long-range strike on the Skyfire system in space.
Then the Skyfire system will be like scrap metal in front of this big guy, and it will be vulnerable.
In the live broadcast screen, the reporters in the audience kept asking the Minister of Defense about the test time of the Night Owl 1.
The Minister of Defense replied: "We have already tested the ability of the Night Owl 1 to lift into space, and the next step is to test its actual combat capability after entering space, so we plan to test it tonight." ”
"Combat capabilities in space? Do you mean that Nightstalk-1 is going into space tonight to destroy a target? A reporter asked.
The Minister of Defense smiled and nodded, "As we all know, our Eagle Sauce Country has countless satellites in space, and many of them have reached the end of their life, so we decided to conduct a live-fire drill on some useless satellites tonight, and it will also be broadcast live around the world at that time." ”
Everyone could see that this operation was completely aimed at the Heavenly Fire System of the Great Xia Kingdom.
At this moment, the most nervous thing is not Lu Chuan and Guangye.
It was the Minister of Defense of Huangsha Country, who had just seen such news in less than two days, and was really worried that the heavily rented Tianhuo system would become an ornament.
Because they still don't know that the Great Xia Kingdom has already deployed the microwave rays.
So before the live broadcast ended, the vast industry received a call from the Minister of Defense of Huangsha State.
The other party expressed their concerns to him.
Although Da Ye was also worried in his heart, he could only smile and comfort: "My dear old friend, don't be too nervous about this matter, please maintain the confidence we should have in our Tianhuo system." ”
