"Are there any alive?"

The commander asked in a hurry, within the communication band.

But the answer to him was only a voice.

"All crashed!"

"All killed!"

"None survived!"

A dozen or so answers were all messages that no fighter planes had survived.

"There is still one fighter still alive."

Gu Bei's original performance in the UAV aviation brigade was not very eye-catching.

No one could have thought of it.

He even had a fighter plane that survived until the last moment.

"Share his footage with everyone!"

The commander hurriedly asked to bring up Gu Bei's battle picture.

An unmanned stealth fighter jet, flying quietly above the blue sky.

Although there are still many questions in everyone's mind.

But none of them asked too many questions in the communication channel.

The exercise is not over yet.

The battle is not over yet.

Even if only the last fighter remains, they will fight to the end.

A black delta-wing fighter jet that skimmed the sky.

It is the apex predator of the sky.

Non-stealth fighters are only slightly larger prey in front of it.

But such a powerful fighter still could not break through the invisible line of defense.

Just hundreds of warplanes, already with their own fall.

A line of death was tentatively explored.

At a distance of 120 km from the target, the survival time is three minutes.

At a distance of 80 kilometers from the target, this time is reduced to two minutes.

At 40 kilometers, there is only one minute left.

The more you break inward, the closer you get to death.

Gu Bei first tried to use airborne air-to-surface missiles.

Attempts were made to achieve the purpose of long-range strikes.

But obviously, there is no use.

Even fighters with more elaborate materials could not break through this line of death.

It is even more difficult for missiles to cross this line of death.

At a distance of 80 km from the target, the missile's internal detonating device was heated out of control due to continuous irradiation.

A brilliant fireball exploded in the sky.

"Long-range attacks, it seems, are useless."

Gu Bei quickly introduced the fact that the first attack was ineffective.

In fact, it is possible to test out the limits of the attack.

Gu Bei felt that it was already good.

At least when someone else has crashed.

Only his fighters are alive and well.

Although it may not live long.

"It seems that we can only try, and break through this road at high speed."

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Bei decided to accelerate the fighter to the highest speed.

Then he sped towards the ground.

The fighter is powered by a turbofan engine and the earth's gravity.

The speed began to soar.

"This kid, do you want to use the fighter as a cruise missile?"

The commander looked at Gu Bei's operation and muttered.

This has actually been around for a long time.

During World War II, the famous kamikaze actually did just that.

It's just that there are no real pilots in the fighter planes they are flying now.

Just when everyone thought that this fighter would definitely be able to break through the invisible defensive network.

It was a surprise to everyone.

When the fighter plane broke through the line of death step by step.

The large delta wing flat fighter is like paper blown up by the wind and waves.

Constantly shaking up and down.

In the end, there was no actual damage to the defensive position, causing significant damage.

Just on the ground, another brilliant fireball was created.

"Xiaobei, how did you dodge the first wave of blows?"

This was the first question everyone asked after the exercise.

"At that time, my fighters were in a double-decker formation, and one of the fighters was on top."

"Their means of striking did not have too serious consequences for the fighters."

Gu Bei sat up from the cabin, took off his full helmet and replied.

"Their means of striking are very attenuated after passing through solids."

This is a small detail that Gu Bei discovered at the last moment.

Also this detail.

succeeded in allowing one of Gu Bei's fighters to survive.

Although the penetration of microwaves is relatively good.

However, in solid matter, it is still easily converted into heat energy and is completely consumed.

"After this exercise, after everyone rests, they are ready to go to the conference room for a post-war summary."

The commander's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he left after dropping a word.

No wonder his face was blackened like this.

You know, before this, he had confidently assured in front of the chief.

In the next confrontation with manned fighters, they will definitely be able to win completely.

But I didn't expect that this time it would be a random exercise.

and they were hung up and beaten on the other side.

Not to mention the completion of the predetermined battle objectives.

Even all the fighters on his side were shot down.

That's high-end equipment worth nearly 10 billion!

Lost this batch.

Even after the fact the higher departments, let them give priority to replenishing new fighters.

But with the current production.

It will take at least a year to replenish it.

These heavy delta-wing stealth fighters.

The cost and strength of each aircraft are at the same level as the fourth-generation aircraft.

Strong and expensive.

"Chief, it's really not that we don't work hard."

"But the other party's technology really makes us unable to understand it!"

The commander reported to his chief after the battle.

"We don't know what kind of attack the fighter is facing."

"The closer you are to the other person, the faster you will die."

"Even if we launch a suicide attack, there is no way to change such a brutal state of war."

The commander was also aggrieved.

It's not that they don't work hard.

But the black technology on the other side!

"Don't think too much, you don't lose unjustly."

The voice of the old chief came from the phone.

"On the other side of the line is the latest technological success that we have just developed."

"Microwave anti-aircraft weapons."

"If you have more interest, you can find out for yourself."

Before the commander could say anything more.

The old chief hung up the phone directly.

"Looks like you're scaring our new troops."

The old chief looked at Zhang Xingyang beside him and said with a smile.

"They all called me to explain the situation."

Zhang Xingyang said: "They are now facing a weapon generation gap. ”

"It's like an armored cavalry that was invincible in the era of cold weapons, and was abandoned after entering the era of hot weapons."

"In the face of the frantically turning machine guns, the cavalry charge was so insignificant."

"All they can do is spill blood on the position."

However, Zhang Xingyang still pointed out some remarkable parts of their battle.

Part of it is Gu Bei's double-decker flight scheme.

It can effectively reduce the radar reflection area.

In addition, it can also avoid a certain degree of microwave attacks.

"Many of our future equipment can use this defense system."

Zhang Xingyang took the opportunity to sell to the old chief:

"It only takes a certain amount of electricity to get what you just saw."

The old chief also became interested and asked:

"How much electricity do I need to achieve the effect I saw before?"

"In our ground experiment, we used two reactor cores of different models, each of which has a power of about 270 megawatts."

"The power of microwave defense is roughly 500 megawatts."

This is an extremely frightening number.

This is equivalent to using the electricity needed by tens of millions of people at the same time.

"With such a lot of power, I don't think even if we have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, we can't afford it."

After hearing this, the old chief said in surprise.

The steam-powered energy generally used by nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is also at this level.

"Even if you can't equip such a high-power microwave generator, you can install a relatively small one."

Zhang Xingyang continued.

"The two nuclear reactors of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can still support such a small system."

"At the very least, it can defend against small and medium-sized targets within a hundred kilometers."

Zhang Xingyang explained his thoughts.

"It can be a good complement to medium- and short-range defense."

The old chief nodded and agreed with Zhang Xingyang's thoughts.

As the core of a fleet, aircraft carriers cannot be overemphasized in terms of defense.

But in fact, Zhang Xingyang still thinks.

Such a defense system is better used in space.

There is less medium in space.

What can be irradiated by microwaves is either all kinds of meteorites or all kinds of asteroids.

They are usually composed of various metal compounds.

In space, it would be too difficult to destroy them completely.

Even with a laser, cut them into small pieces.

The process is troublesome for the time being, but more operations are still required after cutting.

to be able to clean up the wreckage.

But microwave defense is much simpler.

The main form of heat transfer in space is thermal radiation.

And the cooling rate of thermal radiation is not very slow.

To say the least, it's better than nothing.

Therefore, the continuous irradiation of microwaves can make the heat of the asteroid continue to accumulate.

Eventually, it melts into a mass of molten metal that can be reused.

As for the water and other materials on the asteroid,

It will directly evaporate into gas and escape in space.

In addition to this, the microwave defense system is also capable of defending against possible missile attacks.

No one wants to go through a lot of hard work to finally build a starport.

Suddenly, a little bit was destroyed by enemy missiles.

If the missile wants to pass through tens of thousands of kilometers of space, it gives the microwave system a long enough time to warn.

After the discovery of the missile taking off, it will not be long.

The control computer in the starport can complete the steering and predictive locking.

Place the microwave generator in the direction of the incoming missile.

"I came up with a nice name for it."

Zhang Xingyang thought it was very interesting, so he said to the old chief.

"I call it the Tiangang Defense Network."

I hope it can bless Shenzhou and no longer have to be threatened by external force.

Able to maintain prosperity and tranquility forever.

Although, along with the development of weapons, weapons kill people faster and faster.

But also because of the presence of various weapons of mass destruction.

Only then can the seemingly fragile balance be maintained between the various military powers.

"Not a bad name, I'll make sure it actually works as soon as possible."

The old chief finally said:

"It's not a big problem, though."
