"The U.S. side found a mysterious flying machine over the Miyako Strait, suspected UFO?"

"Aliens coming? Speed or more than Mach 10. ”

"The U.S. pilot visually looked at the aircraft and said frankly: it is impossible to describe it."

"The appearance of a new generation of domestic reconnaissance aircraft? Zhang Zhaozhong: It is impossible to reach such a technological height. ”

In the office, Chen Nian and Li Xiang watched the report about Wuzhen-9 that quickly popped up in a short period of time, and said with some amusement:

"Lao Mei is really interesting, breaking the news so quickly, is this to force us to admit it?"

Li Xiang on the side nodded slightly and replied:

"Obviously. The performance of the Wuzhen-9 is too exaggerated, and the impact it brings is not something that can be digested by the US side internally. ”

"Therefore, only in this way can they confirm the real threat level of the so-called UFO, and then they can further formulate follow-up plans."

"It's a fairly conventional strategy"

It's quite routine indeed.

Chen Nian nodded silently.

In fact, in the last life, there were so many so-called UFO incidents in the United States, most of which were true and false, and most of them were smoke bombs.

But it is obvious that most of these UFO incidents end up corresponding to some new aircraft and new missiles.

However, Huaxia has hardly been tricked, and they also routinely send a shot-—— anyway, it will not affect the security of their military information.

"So what's the reaction of the population?"

Chen Nian asked.

"There was no reaction, after all, the other side did not release any photos or pictures, and no matter how hot the hype was, they were simply acting as the US side was setting off smoke bombs."

"However, there are a few military fans who insist that this must be our new reconnaissance plane, which is quite like that."

"After the investigation, we found that they were just talking - the direction of guessing was right, and some people also guessed the integrated reconnaissance operation of air and space, but if you want to talk about it, it is not at all."

"That's fine."

Chen Nian nodded in relief.

"Wuzhen-9 is one of our killer features after all, and the later it is exposed, the better - how about it?"

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Li Xiang's face.

"How to say it's good, it's good."

"If you fly over, you can basically take pictures of the position and clear photos of the fleet."

"But if you want to say that it is good enough to exceed expectations, then it is not true."

"Overall, it was decent and we were able to accomplish our expected strategic goals, but there was one problem that we didn't expect."

"That is, at high speeds, the sharpness of the camera shooting is greatly reduced, and the original strategy of 'passing at hypersonic speed and leaving after shooting' will not work."

"It can only be a slow-down reconnaissance and high-speed detachment."

"This means that the danger is actually higher than we expected."

"That's normal."

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already thought about this question for a long time, but in fact, it was a completely unsolvable problem at all.

At high speeds, no matter how advanced your aerial camera is, no matter how high the resolution you have, you can't completely get rid of the impact of amplified vibration at high speed, and the impact of excessive speed on the image motion compensation device to improve the image clarity brought about by the requirements.

Therefore, it is impossible to blindly strive for perfection.

According to Cheng Fei's gang of people, they can't wait to go down to reconnoiter and take pictures at a speed of Mach 6 or above.

How is this possible?

It's not technology, it's science fiction.

Maybe in a few years, when Chen Nian frees his hands, this part will be realized.

But now, the necessity of it, apparently, is not so great.

"Then the next step, we have to officially exert the deterrent power of this Wuzhan-9."

"What does the military say? What form are you going to use? ”

Li Xiang spread his hands and replied helplessly:

"This is not the information I can get within my authority, if you want to know, you can ask yourself."

"That's it."

Chen Nian smiled, and then replied:

"I'll see."

And that night, on a program of a military agriculture channel.

Sitting on the sofa in the studio hall with a relaxed demeanor, he can be said to be confident about the next program to be recorded.

Although until now, he has not been able to get first-hand accurate information, but this does not affect him to write his speech in advance.

——

Anyway, I'm not going to tell the truth, it's over.

He understands the routines of this kind of military program too well, and people don't really want to give you any analysis of the modern military and international situation, to put it bluntly, its scientific significance is far greater than its practical significance.

Therefore, as long as you ensure that you do not make mistakes in the field of popular science, everything will be fine.

After taking a final look at the draft, the show officially started filming.

The host sat on the opposite side of the seat, first introduced his title and identity, and then talked about a few recent international news, seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, before turning the topic to the recent hot issues.

There is no doubt that the topic this time is the so-called UFO discovered by the United States.

"Professor Zhang, what do you think about the incident in which the US announced the discovery of a UFO over the Miyako Strait?"

"What can I see, I'll watch it on the news."

A trademark smile appeared on Zhang Zhaozhong's face, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows and forehead were twisted together.

"Hahaha, yes, most of us saw this news from the news."

"But one thing is very strange, the US side released the news the day after the UFO was detected, which is different from their routine operation."

"What does Professor Zhang think about this?"

According to the script that had been prepared in advance, the host threw out his second question.

And this issue is actually one of the issues that everyone is most concerned about in public opinion.

The bureau sat up slightly straighter, coughed, and replied:

"I have thought about this issue myself, and although there is no substantial evidence at present, two things are certain."

"First, the alert level of the USS Reagan must be very high, and they must immediately verify any trouble."

"Second, the corner tower, or Congress, should have panicked."

"The situation has been too tense recently, and after Chiwei Island, the US side is actually at a temporary disadvantage."

"It's this disadvantage that makes them start to 'cup bows, snakes, shadows, grass and trees'."

"Oh? What does this say? ”

The host had a "professional" curious expression on his face and poked his head out and asked.

"The reason why they release information must be for the ultimate purpose of 'verification'."

"As for whom?"

"Obviously, we!"

"I'm afraid they're thinking this UFO is our plane, and in my opinion, they really dare to think about it."

Hearing this, the host's curiosity was really suspended.

Listening to the tone of the seat, this thing is really not our plane?

But it doesn't seem to make sense.

On the one hand, since the US side has released the news, it must have relatively sufficient evidence to prove that the so-called "aliens" of this aircraft are just smoke bombs deliberately scattered.

On the other hand, the ambiguous attitude of the official on this is actually telling.

Thinking of this, the host couldn't help but be a little confused.

However, in the show, he can't show his subjective thoughts.

So, he looked up and glanced at the teleprompter quickly, and continued to ask:

"So that's not our plane? I have noticed that there are many voices on the Internet saying that it is our latest generation of high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. ”

"Not credible, not at all!"

Shaking his head firmly, he continued:

"Go and see the report released by the US side! They reported that the vehicle had reached a top speed of Mach 7 and was still accelerating, but it was out of radar tracking range, and there was no way to continue, ah, continue to measure. ”

"What is the concept of Mach 7? The Blackbird's top speed is only Mach 3.6, which is directly twice as fast as it? ”

"There are ghosts in the world if anyone can build such an airplane!"

"Whether it is in terms of materials, processes, and especially in the performance of aero engines, it can be said that it is an impossible goal."

"-—— we say, at least in the short term, it's not possible."

"In another 10 years, it will be possible for Lao Mei to build such a flying machine."

"They have the SR91 project, and the target speed of that plane is Mach 6."

"As for us. Twenty years, that's an optimistic estimate. ”

"Twenty years? Does it take that long? ”

"Of course!"

The bureau sat back tactically and leaned directly on the sofa.

He then explained:

"To achieve this, the performance of this aircraft claimed by the United States, we must first identify a few key data."

"One is speed, and the other is ceiling."

"According to them, the speed should first reach more than Mach 7, the ceiling should be more than 30,000 meters, and at the same time, it must also have the ability to maneuver with air and space."

"This is not a simple technology, not to mention anything else, the TBCC engine, which is the so-called turbine-based combined cycle engine, is not within the reach of our current technology."

"On the Chang'an side, there is a research team, and they are also working on a similar engine."

"However, they are engaged in RBCC, which is a rocket-based engine."

"The difference in technical difficulty between the rocket base and the turbine is not a little bit."

"I see."

The host's face showed an expression of "sudden realization", and then he continued to ask:

"Then can you please Professor Zhang tell us how we should deal with such reconnaissance planes or even fighter planes if there really are such reconnaissance planes or even fighter planes in the future?"

Zhang Zhaozhong waved his hand and replied:

"This problem is complicated, after reaching such performance, whether it is a conventional air-to-air missile or a surface-to-air missile, in fact, there is nothing to be done with him."

"If you really want to deal with it, you can only rely on laser weapons."

"But laser weapons have a disadvantage, that is, they are afraid of clouds and haze."

Naturally, the topics discussed began to expand gradually, and they officially entered the rhythm of "popular science".

After a game, the game can be said to be perfectly played.

After the show was broadcast, even Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh:

is worthy of being the originator of the war, and this expressiveness is far from being comparable to a behind-the-scenes worker like Li Xiang.

For those who are not professional, the bureau's remarks have completely dispelled their speculation about unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

——

Indeed, although Huaxia Aviation Industry has made great progress in the recent past, it seems that it is still too exaggerated to leapfrog into the field of aerospace fighters.

Perhaps, as the bureau said, it will take at least 20 years

However, on the other side, there is a group of people who do not draw conclusions so arbitrarily.

On the USS Reagan, in the office.

Jaylen stood across from Captain Thomas with a slight nervousness, repeating word for word the situation when he met the flying machine.

From the flickering of the radar at the beginning, to the visual appearance of its pure black body, to the complete escape from the radar detection range in just a few tens of seconds, nothing was missed.

Thomas's brow on the other side was furrowed more and more.

In fact, he had read the report countless times, and the reason why he had to ask Jay to come over and report directly was to unearth more details.

So you can confirm that it's a man-made flying machine? I mean, it's a creation that is within the realm of human technology? ”

Jay nodded firmly and replied:

"Yes, I'm pretty sure."

"Even I can be sure that it must be a reconnaissance plane."

"Its streamlined design, as well as its typical low-detectability paint, are representative of its use."

"It's a lot like a Blackbird, but it seems to be a variable sweep wing, and it doesn't have a cockpit — no, I can't remember, it's just too fast to skim by."

Hearing his words, Thomas couldn't help but fall silent.

A high-altitude, high-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with a variable sweep wing design and no cockpit?

Or even an integrated air-space reconnaissance aircraft?

Has Huaxia aerospace technology developed to this extent?

He had a hard time believing that, especially after seeing that man's show.

According to the man, the most advanced research on the dual-mode engine on the Chinese side is only the RBCC engine, which cannot reach the level of this aircraft at all.

——

Yes, some of his words are not so credible, but in terms of technical assertions, he is consistent with the judgment of the American side.

But the problem is that in this man, they have suffered losses and made misjudgments before.

Fall twice on the same issue?

That's a bit stupid.

After a moment of contemplation, Thomas finally sighed.

He opened his mouth and said:

"In any case, we must pay attention to this empty situation."

"One reconnaissance is definitely not enough to get all the information, and they will definitely come back."

"We need to be ready, and the next time we meet, even if we can't shoot it down, we must leave evidence!"

"Understood!"

Jay replied immediately.

At this point, he was freed from his fear, and he was more eager than ever to vent his emotions with a fight.

——

However, Huaxia does not seem to intend to give him this opportunity.

Two hours later.

Several maps with annotations appeared in the news headlines of China.

The content of the news is simple, just reporting the latest situation at sea.

However, the US military personnel who paid attention to this news had a sense of fear on their backs.

An hour later, the USS Reagan aircraft carrier fleet turned at an acute angle and withdrew from the Miyako Strait, hiding under deep clouds.

This scene is almost the same as the trajectory of the Liaoning at the beginning.

It's just that it's the real "escape".
