"Comrade Commander, the aliens here are treated better than we are there!" Xi Yan, who was still standing there, quietly muttered to Xiao Ning.
"Shut up and sit down and eat."
Xiao Ning finally decided to give Academician Wang some face and make a regular report after arriving at the destination.
He originally thought that the Taishan would take off until Wang Qinyun sobered up, but he saw Su Qin, who was still wearing the rank of trainee, busy in the command module of the Taishan.
Are there already people on Earth who can operate the spacecraft?
The Taishan originally had its own air liaison station, but if it wanted to communicate with the Oklahoma City Air and Space Force's aircraft, it could only use the public channel because the encryption methods of both parties were not universal. This time, neither party was willing to make do.
That's why Xiao Ning boarded the ship and brought an air liaison station with a Russian-style encryption module. However, the antennas could be shared. The Taishan had already repaired the radio antenna on its own electronic mast.
Once again, the spare parts from the ship's own spare parts warehouse were used. Xiao Ning's longing for standing on the high command platform of the submarine and talking to the IL-76 with a communicator was also dashed.
I could only stay in the narrow command room of the Taishan and watch Academician Wang and Su Qin playing with several periscopes.
Xiao Ning began to feel that she could only be a liaison officer. How could she fly in the air with a few periscopes? He couldn't get involved anyway.
According to the pre-arranged time and confirmed by the last call from the crab seedlings, the Il-76 located on the runway of a nearby airport took off first.
First, he circled far away, and after correcting the course, he flew over Lake Bellier. In the first moment, Academician Wang used the anti-air periscope to steadily capture the target.
"The port side is 30 degrees, the elevation angle is 65 degrees, and the distance is 8,586 meters." The air periscope has a ranging function, and laser ranging is only accurate to meters, not to decimal points.
It's because Academician Wang is too lazy to report it. Although for today's submarines, there is really no opportunity to use this function in actual combat, but if this function does exist, this is definitely the first time Academician Wang has used it in actual combat.
"Roger!" Su Qin repeated, and then operated the Taishan to take off. He was still standing in front of the chart table and operating the core of the spacecraft.
The projection picture in front of me shows the picture of the non-penetrating periscope. The non-penetrating periscope points directly ahead at an elevation angle of 30 degrees. Now nothing can be seen above.
There was a strange cry of "Ouch", and a burst of howling ghosts and wolves came from the air platform.
Two MiG-31s serving as escorts followed the Il-76. They were not in the field of view of Academician Wang's air periscope. As soon as the pilots on the two fighter jets flew into the sky above Lake Beryl, they scrambled to dive to low altitude.
He wanted to see what the alien spacecraft mentioned in the mission introduction looked like, but he was frightened by Su Qin's violent pull-up action. He hurriedly stepped on the rudder lever and made violent evasive movements.
Then he howled loudly under the pressure of the strong G force, not knowing whether it was enjoyment or pain.
Su Qin and Academician Wang didn't feel anything. Xu Siqi, who was on standby in the command cabin, even though he couldn't understand Russian, guessed that he was with Xiao Song.
The two of them had a hard time holding back their laughter. Xiao Ning just had a black look on his face, grabbed the intercom, and without asking about the rank of the military officer on the other side, he scolded the two fighter pilots like a ground flight commander. .
Xiao Ning really didn't feel that she had taken off.
"10 degrees on the port side, 50 degrees in elevation, 1 meter away from the Rebirth." Academician Wang continued to follow.
"No need to report anymore, academician, enter the screen." Su Qin's operation was still very clean and neat. In a short time, he pulled the target into the field of view of the non-penetrating air periscope that had already fixed its position.
Then he spent another ten seconds to fix the Taishan behind and below the IL-76, with a height difference of 300 meters and a horizontal distance of about 500 meters.
"Okay, notify Il-76 that it can start climbing." The current altitude of Il-76 is only five or six thousand meters, which is far from the upper limit of cruising flight altitude.
As for this flight, neither China nor Russia wanted anyone to see it. Now that the formation has been formed, the top priority is to increase the altitude.
The IL-76 started to climb first, followed by Su Qin operating the Taishan. He didn't have to do anything. He just had to fix the IL-76 in front of him at the center of the screen in front of him and keep the laser range reading at about 600 meters.
After the altitude, speed and direction stabilized, the two escorting MiG-31s in the formation no longer dared to play any tricks and honestly formed a two-plane formation on one side to accompany them.
Su Qin, who understood the situation under Xu Siqi's guidance, wanted to scare them again, such as flying with the protective cover open, and then using the artificial gravity system in the protective cover to perform a 360-degree slow somersault on the spot.
However, as soon as this idea came out, he was killed by Xiao Song. Xiao Song thought that he was scolding the city chief for not being as capable of fooling around as young people. However, Su Qin quietly told Xu Siqi that our mother also worshiped foreigners, and she began to worry. Stimulate friendly forces...
Then they kept flying in formation all the way until they crossed the border. The two MiG-31s returned on their own, and were replaced by two fighter jets with mottled fuselage paint.
Xu Siqi observed the two fighter jets for a long time with a penetrating air-to-air periscope that was useless for the time being and could move freely, and then whispered to Su Qin.
I'm afraid the leaders at the higher level have similar ideas to our mother. The models deployed on the border are really old, and they are probably the first ones to leave the factory.
The formation flew south like this, until the camera in the gondola from the sounding balloon hanging on the belly of the Taishan showed that there was a wide water surface below again, and Su Qin began to break away from the formation.
Slowly descending in altitude in the night sky, the Taishan could only land on the sea and could not maintain the formation with the Il-76 and reach the sky above the landing site.
Fortunately, there is that gondola now. The refresh rate of the satellite positioning system that can be used in high-altitude balloons cannot keep up with the flight speed of the Taishan.
But the radar altimeter is sufficient, and there is no problem with positioning now. Su Qin and Xu Siqi each have a handheld GPS positioning terminal used in aviation.
Still spiraling down along a spring-like spiral trajectory, Su Qin was now calm and relaxed, and he didn't even need to think about collision avoidance.
The two fighter jets are circling and descending on the outside with a larger circling radius, preparing to intercept any unexpectedly approaching aircraft. Of course, they can also promptly detect ships on the sea that are too close.
Su Qin felt that he could land safely with his eyes closed. It really felt like home.
In fact, even with his eyes open, he could see nothing except a small patch of sky 30 degrees above and in front of him.
