"Watch the temperature."
Qi Sheng stared at the temperature value on the screen and reminded the flight control.
"Turn on the de-icer early."
Because of the high altitude, the drone is now about 8,000 meters high. The sensor on the fuselage shows that the current ambient temperature of the drone is -20 degrees.
This is a very dangerous low temperature.
Usually large passenger aircraft have de-icing systems, and water vapor on or inside the aircraft condenses into ice crystals or frost. Icing will affect the aerodynamic performance, control performance, weight and balance of the aircraft, and may even cause serious consequences such as engine shutdown, instrument failure, and communication interruption.
Drones are no exception.
This kind of UAV is a propeller-type UAV, equipped with a 4-cylinder piston engine. Compared with the jet engines of passenger planes and fighter jets, de-icing is more important for it. Otherwise, once the ice is serious, it will not even be connected. The propellers will be frozen and unable to operate, which can range from losing part of the lift and causing the aircraft to crash directly.
There are also forward-looking infrared/CCD cameras on drones, and the lens will also become blurry due to ice.
Although the drone does not have an icing warning now, Qi Sheng asked the flight controller to turn on the de-icing device in advance so that it can carry out reconnaissance in time after entering the reconnaissance airspace and avoid icing only when it reaches the reconnaissance airspace. It would be a waste of time to de-ice. It takes up reconnaissance time and even affects the reconnaissance effect.
"clear."
The flight controller immediately activated the de-icing system.
"Raise the height." Qi Sheng gave the second instruction.
"Raise altitude?" The flight controller was surprised. He didn't believe what he heard, so he said, "It's already eight thousand meters."
Qi Sheng's face was colder than the snow on the snow-capped mountains, with no expression at all. He was still gently scratching his chin, his eyes never leaving the screen: "Fly to 8500."
"yes……"
A thin layer of sweat formed on the flight controller's forehead, but he still carried out the order.
This is a height that exceeds the limit.
The highest entry parameter of this drone is 8,000 meters. Because it is a medium-range drone, it can only fly at this height.
But obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.
Since the commander issues an order, the flight control can only execute it.
He pushed the lever gently, increased the engine's horsepower, adjusted his posture and began to pull up.
Across the screen, the flight controller seemed to be able to hear the roar of the motor.
He was really worried that the drone would suddenly lose control.
If the theoretical limit in the instruction manual is exceeded, there will be many problems that may occur, such as engine stalling, ice on the wing surface, solidification of oil in the system, freezing of the control surface, failure of the battery due to low temperature, etc... …
There are too many unknown factors...
Beyond the designed use range, many originally normal systems may eventually lose their performance due to low temperature and lack of oxygen.
"Course correction, 30 degrees to the left."
Qi Sheng continued to issue instructions.
There was an extra layer of sweat on the flight controller's forehead.
Beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of the link, payload, and intelligence analysts on the side.
A 30-degree correction to the left has changed the original route.
The original route was to avoid being identified and locked by local defense and control weapons, so we flew around the edge and tried to avoid the enemy's forward defense line. Now we flew directly through the enemy's forward defense line to the right.
The webmaster wanted to say something, but he moved his mouth a few times, but finally said nothing.
Qi Sheng's face was still as cold as ice.
He knew what was going on.
The altitude of this enemy's forward position is actually lower than where we are. It is in a large depression. The altitude shown is 4,000 meters, which is more than a thousand meters lower than our own.
This is interesting.
Why set up such a point for them to conduct reconnaissance?
Qi Sheng believes that the referee team is not stupid.
There would be no reason to place a reconnaissance point in such a place.
When he first reviewed the map and determined the route, he had already discovered this problem, but he still kept it in mind.
Use the safest route first to avoid the referee team intentionally marking the wrong value in the question.
After all, the altitude of other areas is above 5,000. Only the altitude of this forward position is less than 1,000.
It looks so strange.
Qi Sheng was not familiar with the terrain here and had never walked through it.
Therefore, when planning the route, we adopt the most conservative route, which is to fly around and shoot quickly at low altitude.
But I already had a backup route in mind.
That is to pass through the flank of the defense, increase the height, and shoot the whole shot in one go.
As long as the flight control is properly controlled and the intelligence analyst can accurately capture and determine the target coordinates, it will greatly shorten the time of this reconnaissance.
Another point is that in enemy defense positions in such high-altitude mountains, it is difficult for large-scale air defense equipment to be transported to the position, and most of the shoulder-mounted air defense weapons are used.
Most shoulder-launched individual air defense missiles are difficult to shoot above 4,000 meters. If the drone is pulled to an altitude of 8,500 meters, it will be difficult for the opponent to carry out an effective attack.
But his risky move shocked several soldiers in the control cabin.
"Don't worry, I know the performance of this drone. 8,000 is a relatively conservative value. It can fly 8,500 with no problem."
Can fly?
Several soldiers thought to themselves.
The company commander said so, just fly if you can!
8200…
8300……
8400…
Every time the height increases by one hundred meters, the flight controller's heart lifts a little higher.
He was afraid that a red warning mark would pop up on the screen the next second.
8500……
"Reach the designated height!"
The flight controller quickly reported.
"Hold on and fly the route I told you."
Qi Sheng was still the same, expressionless and scratching his chin.
…
Starting point, big tent, referee team comprehensive center.
Rows of monitors in front of them monitor the flight trajectory and shooting images of each participating drone.
This is a real-time transmission screen on the same data platform and the same data link.
Here, you can see all the images on the drones of the five participating groups at the same time.
The deputy leader of the referee team pointed at a screen.
"Someone flew straight!"
When he said this, the other referees' eyes turned to the screen he was pointing to.
The trajectory on the screen showed that the drone of this unit was crossing the enemy's front line of defense, leaning to the right.
"It's the drone of the Tiger Brigade." A referee laughed: "I didn't expect that there are really bold people out there?"
"This is not daring." The referee leader who had been staring at the screen said: "He is confident. Look at his height, it is 8500."
"Is Qi Sheng really not afraid of losing control of the drone?" someone said.
"Haha, he..." the referee team leader said, "By the way, didn't you look at his resume? This guy was previously at NPU and participated in the demonstration of this drone. He knows where the limits are."
"No wonder..." the deputy team leader said: "I thought that no one would dare to use this small loophole, but I didn't expect that someone would actually dare to use it."
"His move can save him at least 10 minutes." The team leader looked at his watch: "Currently, Team 15 is in the lead."
"Didn't Team 13 fly like this before?" someone said.
The team leader said: "Team 13 hesitated. It took half a circle before making up its mind. It was a little late. They crossed from the left, and the route was not as good as crossing from the right. We had considered it when we set up this point. When we entered As long as you hesitate for a moment, you will have to go around. Once you go around, if you go back and go back, the route will not be beautiful and it will take too much time.”
"It seems that the Tiger Brigade came out on top in this military competition of new aircraft models."
"I think they are close to each other. They are now 2:2 with the Intelligence Reconnaissance Brigade, and each has a first place. However, the score of the Tiger Brigade is a little lower, and they got a third place in the erection subject."
"It's a pity that they can't adapt to the environment. I heard that there are a few high-level rebels. Their company commander Qi Sheng himself is a rebel."
"All the members of the special operations brigade are high-reflex? Hahahaha!"
…
Qi Sheng was unaware of the discussion in the referee's tent.
So far, everything is under his control.
The game continues.
The reconnaissance at 9 points was also carried out smoothly.
For Qi Sheng, this was too simple.
Except that the reconnaissance into the front line of the enemy's defense was a little difficult, the rest was just as he expected.
The route he set was very accurate, and most of the points were within the scope of his route. The intelligence analysts easily discovered the hidden targets, quickly calibrated them, and integrated the pictures with intelligence.
But of course everything is not that easy.
The last two points are to control drones to attack the ground, and the other to guide artillery to attack remotely.
The target of the ground attack was found. In a mountain col with an altitude of 5,000 meters, a precision-guided bomb was directly launched and the opponent's cover was opened.
But when we arrived at the last target to guide the artillery attack, we finished flying and still hadn't found the target.
"Amazing!"
Qi Sheng felt that his professionalism had been impacted.
It's not within the route you outlined?
"Company commander, what should I do?"
The flight controller was a little confused.
Qi Sheng immediately opened the electronic map on the terminal, zoomed in frame by frame, and carefully examined all the terrain.
Watched it twice.
He felt there was nothing wrong with his route.
No other place is suitable for setting up positions and firepower points, let alone ammunition storage.
"It's evil!"
"Show me the pictures you took before one by one! Play them one by one and stop when I tell you to!"
Analysts hurriedly started pulling up pictures.
These pictures are all captured by drones, and they are all pictures with suspicious points. After taking the pictures, analysts will analyze the pictures, find the targets inside, make calibrations, and then transmit them to superiors to provide decision-making basis.
Pictures flashed across the screen one by one.
"Pass!"
"Pass!"
"Pass!"
Every time Qi Sheng read a picture, if he didn't find anything suspicious, he would shout.
It took more than ten minutes to read it again.
There was sweat on his forehead too.
"Is it really not on my calibrated path?"
He couldn't help but doubt himself.
But based on the general information provided in the mission briefing and my own analysis, how could anything slip through the cracks?
Unless the briefing provided by superiors is wildly inaccurate.
But so far, all the information is still very accurate.
Was it a deliberate omission of one point of information?
His mind was racing, thinking about what went wrong.
The pictures I had seen flashed through my mind one after another like a revolving door.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "Bring up the picture of Target No. 4!"
The analyst hurriedly retrieved the picture, found it, and put it on the screen.
Qi Sheng leaned directly in front of the screen, as if he wanted to slip into the screen, his eyes fixed on the picture.
"here!"
He pointed to a spot in the picture.
"I didn't take a clear picture here! Go back and take a picture here!"
Target point No. 4 was an enemy fire point at the foot of the mountain. The intelligence analyst looked at it and found no problems.
The flight controller is already executing the command.
The company commander said how to fly, so he flew.
His job is to control the drone, and other things are considered by the commander.
The drone turned in the air and flew towards target point No. 4.
Five minutes later, it reached the airspace here at the fastest speed.
"slow down!"
Qi Sheng gave the order and said to the analyst: "Capture no blind spots!"
The intelligence analyst began to control the camera on the drone and clicked to take pictures.
When the picture came out, Qi Sheng took a look and found it was still not there.
Suddenly, he said: "You didn't take a picture of the slope above point 4!"
That slope is actually not a straight slope. Covered in ice and snow, the slope can be called a cliff. In some places, it is a 90-degree rock wall.
"Shoot the shadow side of it. Point it for me."
"The angle is wrong!" the analyst said, "I can't take the picture!"
"Flight control, lower the altitude and fly straight towards the shadow side of the mountain. I want the camera to focus on it!"
"It will hit the mountain!"
"Slow down your speed, and after taking the shot, turn right at a wide angle to avoid the mountain!"
"yes……"
The flight controller’s voice was distorted.
this……
If this hits...
I will never play with drones again.
