Chapter 112: Canglong Goes to Sea, To the South!

A month later, the 601 test flight site.

Liu Chuanwu sat quietly in the office next to the hangar, waiting for the ground crew to conduct the final inspection of the Canglong fighter with the port number 02.

Sitting next to him was a man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder, holding a document and conveying the details of his upcoming mission to Liu Chuanwu.

This mission is very difficult and dangerous, and there is a possibility of various uncertain accidents in the process."

"This is due to the special nature of this exercise, unlike the previous exercises of the other side, their purpose is to suppress us, so they will take measures beyond the norm."

"Electronic jamming and electronic countermeasures may occur, and because of the close proximity of the exercise sites, you may be affected and forced to deal with unfamiliar combat situations."

"In addition, the other side expects to participate in the exercise, including a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier."

"And ourselves, the air units participating in the exercise are mainly J-8III, 6 J-10, and 1 J-22, that is, you."

"In terms of the number of aircraft, the other side is definitely crushing class"

"Moreover, if an unexpected situation occurs, you can't expect other units to bring any help to you, whether it is J-10 or J-8III, their range is not enough to support other actions after completing the exercise subjects, their purpose is just to participate in the acting."

"We have a special plan, and only one of you will be involved."

Hearing this, Liu Chuanwu nodded silently.

There was no fluctuation in his heart, because this was something he had guessed a long time ago.

In order to form a de facto "reciprocal deterrence," the sea area scheduled for this exercise is 600 kilometers away from the nearest military airfield in China, and in the absence of an aircraft carrier on its own side, other types of aircraft with insufficient range will fly at most one round trip.

Only this Jian-22, which has a range of more than 3,400 kilometers, will be able to continue to carry out combat readiness duty tasks after completing the exercise tasks.

"What about the content of the other party's drill?"

He asked.

"Simulate a joint strike at sea against an extremist group of all sizes."

"Extremist groups on a large scale?"

Liu Chuanwu couldn't help laughing.

What extremist group of magnitude will have fighter jets? What extremist group of magnitude can confront aircraft carriers?

To put it rightly, in fact, isn't the imaginary enemy still us?

——

Of course, if he had known that more than ten years later, the Americans had really used aircraft carriers to fight "large-scale extremist organizations," it is estimated that he would not have felt so ridiculous now.

"We're not going to be a large-scale extremist group, are we?"

Hearing his words, the man nodded and replied:

"That's for sure, in their exercise script, we're imaginary enemies."

"As for the specific details, according to their public information, the red and blue sides of this exercise are played by each country, and each participating unit must play the role of both red and blue at the same time, but it is clear that they will allocate better combat power to the red side."

"Anyway, their purpose is to demonstrate, you know that."

"You don't have to pay attention to their specific processes, but only one thing: don't let them approach our exercise area for any reason."

"In our judgment, it is possible for them to do such a thing."

"Of course, you are not alone, our surface ships will support you, and the other participating aircraft will also return to meet after replenishment."

"Understood. What about us? ”

Liu Chuanwu continued to ask:

"What is our imaginary enemy?"

A smile appeared on the man's face, and he replied as a matter of course:

"Our imaginary enemy. Of course, it is also a large-scale extremist organization. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the man stood up and spoke:

"The specific drill arrangements will be conveyed to you one after another in the next two days, and I came today just to talk to you on behalf of the superiors, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"Again, this mission is dangerous."

"If handled well, it's a successful deterrent."

"But if something happens along the way, the most extreme scenario is not out of the question."

"After all, no one can say for sure."

"Understood, please rest assured that the task will be completed!"

Liu Chuanwu stood up and saluted a military salute, and the man also returned the salute, and then turned to leave.

And at this time, Canglong 02 completed the final inspection.

Liu Chuanwu walked to his fighter plane and climbed down the gangway into the cockpit.

In the past few months, he has become extremely familiar with this fighter, but when he sees it again at this moment, there is still an inexplicable strangeness.

The radar system was replaced.

Now, the fighter is equipped with the newly developed Type 1418 fighter digital array radar developed by 14 institutes.

Compared with the previous Doppler radar, the performance of this radar can be said to have changed dramatically.

It is capable of detecting multiple long-range targets simultaneously, including stealth aerial vehicles.

It can track up to 120 targets at the same time, and at a distance of 500 kilometers, it can detect large targets, at about 360 kilometers, it can detect ordinary fighters, and at a distance of 100 kilometers, it can detect stealth fighters.

It takes less than 5 seconds to complete a 120-degree angle scan.

Compared with the recorded radars of other fighters in the same period, the comprehensive performance is even calculated in multiples.

With this radar, Canglong can be regarded as having an eye that penetrates the sky.

Liu Chuanwu took a deep breath, the cockpit canopy of Canglong 02 slowly closed, and the pleasant electronic sound started, and then he found that the avionics system and flight control system of this aircraft had also been comprehensively updated.

Then, in the next two weeks, he must adapt to this plane as quickly as possible, so that it can truly become his comrade-in-arms.

He gently stroked each button in the cockpit, silently noting the location of the new buttons in his mind.

Then, he pushed the throttle and slowly slid the plane out of the hangar and onto the take-off runway.

The sound of the tower came from the headphones.

"Canglong 02, the airspace has been cleared, and the take-off conditions are good, so you can take off."

"Understood, ready to take off."

Liu Chuanwu reached out to hold the joystick and pushed down the accelerator.

Then, a huge thrust came from behind him, a roar rang out, and the speed soared.

After just a few hundred meters, he pulled up the joystick.

With a light body, Canglong 02 rose from the ground.

"The radar system is working fine."

"Avionics and flight control are working normally."

"The engine is working fine."

"Begin the test flight mission."

The plane shuttled back and forth over the test flight site, and the test flight tasks were completed one after another, and the efficiency was amazing.

Although it was the first meeting after the transformation, Liu Chuanwu's run-in with this aircraft has been smooth as if they were old friends.

He calmly flew the last lap, and then called out over the radio:

"Tower, the test flight mission is complete, do you land?"

"Canglong 02, don't land for the time being."

"Please go to the coordinate location, where you will complete the cruise test and then return to the airport."

"Understood."

Liu Chuanwu looked at the screen, and the data link system had already marked the target coordinate point for him.

He subconsciously repeated the coordinate data on the screen, and said to himself:

"This coordinates. Let's go south."

On the other side, the tower also heard his voice.

A reply from the tower came from the headset

"Yes."

"To the south!"

"Xianxia World, Mechanical Ascension"

The dynasty was turbulent, and Su Ming, who embarked on the path of cultivation, became a refiner
