Chapter 218 Flexibility

"Commander, welcome..."

Looking up at the tall figure of Engineer No. 1, Li Meng asked, "Don't waste time, let's get started."

Not far away, Li Meng saw a very bloated car. The power system is not tracks, but metal spherical wheels, with three on one side. If it is symmetrical, this car has a total of six spherical wheels.

It looks a bit strange, because there is no bearing to connect the spherical wheels, and the body is suspended above the wheels. Although the gap is small, Li Meng still saw it.

It is probably some kind of magnetic device...

I didn't think much about it. Since installing a coordinate tower on the tenth floor of the Governor's Mansion, Li Meng has given the right to "exchange" to the "Intelligent Brain". Whatever is needed, it can be designed. As long as there are drawings and resources, it can be exchanged.

There are probably dozens of mechanical units in Black Flag City at present, most of which are authorized to be exchanged by the "Intelligent Brain".

"Please follow me..."

Led by Engineer No. 1, Li Meng came to the bloated vehicle not far away.

In the sound of mechanical operation , the box walls on both sides of the carriage slowly opened upwards.

As the box walls opened, four "Sky Eye fighters" appeared in Li Meng's eyes.

There were eight in total, and four more on the other side, placed on a metal platform.

The eight Sky Eye fighters were white in color, and their weapons were two 20mm twin-barreled single-barrel coil guns with a medium rate of fire. Because they used explosive bullets, they had strong lethality and a certain armor-piercing ability.

However, due to the short barrel, small body, and limited power, the range was limited, and there was no power beyond a hundred meters, only It can kill enemies by relying on the explosive damage of blast bullets.

Of course, the Sky Eye fighter is not a long-range combat unit. The reason why it is small is to get close to the enemy and kill the enemy with more accurate shooting at a closer distance.

"The exercise is divided into three steps. The first step is to fly over the polar temperature layer to test its cold resistance and the stability of the pulse engine. The second step is to test the flexibility of its flight system. The third step is actual combat. Eight Sky Eye fighters will form two teams and leave the Xiping Lake Basin to Qing'an City to test their self-searching capabilities."

Li Meng's eyes swept over the Sky Eye fighters, and he had a hint of expectation in his heart, saying: "Let's start."

Engineer No. 1: "The exercise begins, start the first step program and activate the engine. "

As the No. 1 engineer finished speaking, a "buzzing" sound suddenly appeared and echoed in Li Meng's ears.

The main engine at the tail of the Sky Eye fighter on the platform in the carriage spewed out orange-white flames, and the body rose into the air with a slight tremor, flew away from the carriage, and hovered in the air outside the carriage, less than two meters from the ground.

The rolling air waves rushed towards him, and Li Meng's long clothes suddenly whistled.

Eight Sky Eye fighters hovered steadily on both sides of the vehicle, and the output power of the main engine was very stable.

After hovering for less than five seconds, a louder whistling sound was heard, and the main engine at the tail of the Sky Eye fighter spewed out a long tongue of fire. The powerful thrust allowed the eight Sky Eye fighters to rise vertically at the same time, at a very fast speed, in the blink of an eye. It turned into a few small white dots.

In the sky, eight Sky Eye fighters rose vertically all the way, and in less than thirty seconds they were close to the clouds.

At that moment, there was a burst of explosions and flashes of fire. The main engine nozzles at the tails of the eight Sky Eye fighters were like rockets, spewing out bright and long flames. If you look closely, you can see several Mach rings.

In the extreme temperature layer, it is impossible to inhale air from the outside, which makes the main engine of the Sky Eye fighter have two modes. One is the cruise mode, which inhales air from the outside to provide fuel for combustion. The second mode is to close the vents and use the internal oxidizer for combustion. In this mode, the main engine of the Sky Eye fighter is a rocket engine.

In the sky, eight Sky Eye fighters dragged The long tail flame suddenly increased in speed and rushed into the clouds.

Looking up at the sky from the ground, there was only a flicker of fire in the dark clouds, which disappeared after a while.

Li Meng looked up at the dark clouds in the sky that had returned to calm, and waited patiently.

About a few minutes later, the flickering fire in the dark clouds reappeared, getting brighter and brighter. In less than a few seconds, eight Sky Eye fighters shuttled out of the dark clouds and reappeared in Li Meng's eyes with long tails.

As soon as they left the clouds, the long flames at the tail of the Sky Eye fighter gradually extinguished, and they returned to the cruise mode, slowly descending to the ground and returning to their original position.

The air wave emerged again, and looking at the Sky Eye fighter hovering next to the vehicle, Li Meng was still very satisfied.

The pulse engine is still very reliable For the existing aviation technology of mankind, the polar layer in the sky is a huge obstacle that is difficult to overcome. If human air units want to enter the sky above the original continent, they must rise from the new world to a certain height and then keep flying at high altitude, but this is meaningless.

With the polar layer, the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the new humans are useless, and the same is true for the reconnaissance satellites in orbit.

"The temperature in the polar layer is really low..."

Looking at the thin layer of ice covering the body of the Tianyan fighter, Li Meng said in his heart.

In just a short while, the body of the Tianyan fighter was covered with a layer of ice, which shows how terrible the polar layer is.

At this time, the No. 1 engineer on the side said: "The next step is to practice the flexibility of the Tianyan fighter."

As the No. 1 engineer's voice fell, with a whistling sound, the eight Sky Eye fighters all rose in altitude, and then rushed out, very quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the training ground not far away, there was a densely packed stone pillar. Because the basin was uneven, the stone pillars were used to irrigate cement, level the terrain, and reinforce the runway.

With a "buzzing" whistling sound, the eight Sky Eye fighters rushed into the stone forest at a very fast speed.

As soon as they entered the stone forest, the Sky Eye fighters fully demonstrated their flexibility, turning and shuttling at will in the stone forest at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, which was dazzling to watch.

"The AI ​​of the Sky Eye fighter is independent. Each Sky Eye fighter has its own independent AI. However, the AI ​​of the Sky Eye fighter is a program that runs according to certain rules. It cannot be called a real AI, let alone intelligence. It only has the control system, command receiving system, and basic analysis and command execution system. Even if it receives electromagnetic interference, the backup data will start within 0.2 seconds and regain control of the body."

The power of technology is magical. Looking at the Sky Eye fighter flying through the stone forest, the round body reminded Li Meng of a sentence: as long as the thrust is strong, a brick can fly into the sky.

"Commander, please enter the command vehicle. This vehicle is a temporary command vehicle designed by me to refuel the Sky Eye fighter. It is a disposable item and will not be used on the battlefield in the future. Its only function is to track the Sky Eye fighter and collect relevant data in this actual combat exercise."
