"The Kongtian-1 test aircraft is currently flying at an altitude of 40,000 meters and a flying speed of Mach 9.5. It has reached the scheduled flight altitude. Please indicate whether to activate the shield device as planned and conduct a shield operation test?" Responsible for controlling the air and space on the ground Seeing that the plane had reached the flight altitude scheduled for the test, the pilot loudly requested instructions.
According to the scheduled test plan, this test flight of the aerospace plane was to test the shield system.
In fact, the shield system has been turned on since the aerospace plane took off, and a series of tests have been conducted during the climb.
What is being tested now is whether the shield system can be started up normally and smoothly in a hypersonic flight environment.
Although in theory there will be no problems with the shield system, even today's technologically mature fighter jets will still have various failures such as engine shutdown, aircraft stalling, and power outages in the sky, in case the shield equipment is affected by a malfunction. , whether the restart can be started smoothly has become an important matter related to the life and death of the aircraft.
And even if there is no failure, it is still very important whether the shield generator can be manually restarted smoothly in a high-altitude and high-speed environment.
Therefore, testing of shield equipment switching on and off in high-altitude and high-speed environments was added to the test plan.
At this time, the pilot asked for instructions, and the project team leader in charge approved it according to the test plan. The pilot who received the instructions immediately started operating according to the operating procedures.
Through the camera mounted on the aerospace aircraft, Chen Xin and others could clearly see through the display screen of the tower. As the pilot operated, a light blue barrier quickly formed around the fuselage of the aircraft, but it quickly glowed. It dimmed, as if it was just an illusion.
However, whether it is the sudden increase in energy consumption of the aerospace aircraft or the display of various instruments on the aerospace aircraft, it is proved that the shield system has been successfully restarted and is in good condition.
Everyone couldn't help but cheered. The aerospace plane was able to pass various tests in high-altitude and high-speed environments, which not only marked an important achievement of the Nantianmen Project, but also marked that humans now have energy shield technology.
Seeing that the shield equipment was running well, everyone expressed congratulations and congratulations to Chen Xin.
He is the overall person in charge of the entire plan and the overall person in charge of the shield project. The smooth development of shield technology is undoubtedly attributed to him.
But Chen Xin acted very calmly about this. He just smiled politely, and after accepting everyone's congratulations, he ordered the pilot to continue with other tests.
However, the main tests have been completed, and the rest are only some basic projects for performance testing. Although they must be completed, they will not affect the overall situation.
And because of the lack of weapons used in such high-altitude and high-speed environments, it is currently impossible to conduct actual combat tests of shield equipment. Therefore, after completing all test items, Chen Xin ordered the aerospace plane to return.
"Speaking of which, can the air defense weapons we have now pose a threat to aerospace aircraft?" Thinking of this question, Chen Xin asked an air force officer standing aside.
The Nantianmen Project was originally developed by the Air Force, and the Air Force also participated in various projects. Naturally, Air Force officers were present during the aerospace aircraft test flights.
Hearing Chen Xin's question, the air force officer shook his head: "If the aerospace aircraft maintains a hypersonic flight speed, based on the performance of the air defense weapons we currently have, there is no way to shoot it down. The speed is too fast. Even if the radar can lock it, the missile cannot catch up."
Hypersonic missiles were one of the most advanced missiles in the world before the disaster. It is very difficult to intercept them with mankind's existing air defense weapon systems.
After replacing hypersonic missiles with more flexible hypersonic aircraft, the difficulty of interception has undoubtedly increased.
Because the flying speed of hypersonic aircraft is so fast, when maneuvering in the air, it will bring great tracking overload pressure to the missiles going to intercept. This overload pressure may be an astonishing number of 80 to 90G. This is the entire All the currently active air defense missiles in the world cannot achieve this.
And if you want to be able to intercept hypersonic targets, you must not only have missiles that can catch up with the target, but also an air defense radar system that can lock it and a guidance system that can guide the missile to track the target.
Only in this three-pronged approach can it be possible to intercept hypersonic targets.
However, even if these three conditions are present, it is only able to intercept hypersonic missiles.
If we want to intercept air and space fighters that have specially designed their fuselage for stealth, have ultra-high maneuverability, and can penetrate defenses at high altitudes and at high speeds, humans must develop a more efficient air defense system.
After understanding the situation, Chen Xin whispered something to the air force officer. After hearing this, the expression on the other's face became very exciting, but he nodded excitedly and quickly left the tower.
Many people in the tower noticed this scene, especially several scientific researchers from foreign countries.
But at this moment, they all had a tacit understanding not to inquire, and they didn't even pay much attention to this scene. They even pretended not to see it when they saw it.
Nowadays, Blue Star's situation is that all countries rely on Yanguo to make a living. If they offend Yanguo by asking about something they shouldn't, that is not a small thing.
Not to mention that they are all working on the territory of the Yan Kingdom. If they rashly inquire about some things, they may be suspected of being spies. Just offending the Yan Kingdom and causing their country to be cut off from aid by the Yan Kingdom is enough to make them just now. European countries whose situation has improved have been sent back to hell again.
In addition, Chen Xin obviously had an attitude of not wanting people to know, so they couldn't even ask about things they shouldn't ask about.
Therefore, these foreign scientific researchers look at their noses with their inner eyes, and their noses with their hearts, with an expression of knowing nothing.
Chen Xin naturally noticed the attitude of these foreign scientific researchers, but he did not say anything extra.
After all, what he mentioned to the air force officer just now is indeed not something outsiders can know and inquire about. He himself regrets mentioning it on this occasion. He should find a safer occasion to mention it again.
But the voice he spoke just now was very low, and this was the Air Force base of Yan Kingdom, so there was no risk that anyone would overhear their conversation.
And even if someone really overheard his conversation, these scientific researchers from Europe would not be able to send this information back. You must know that all their contacts with Europe rely on Yanguo’s communication channels, and Yanguo’s intelligence department will not It's completely open for them to use.
Therefore, Chen Xin quickly felt relieved and waited at the tower for the space plane to return, then left the tower.
