Since the location Qi Sheng suspected was located under a cliff on the shady side of the hillside, the flight path of the drone had to be adjusted to see the location clearly.
The best way is to lower the drone's altitude and then fly towards the mountain.
In this way, the camera lens on the drone can focus on the entire cliff and clearly see things hidden in some dark corners under the cliff.
But there is a risk in flying like this, because there are mountains on the opposite side of the cliff, and the distance between the two mountains is less than one kilometer.
This means that the drone has to fly towards the cliff from the opposite mountain peak, fly over the mountain peak, lower its height, and then fly towards the cliff.
The flying speed of this medium-range drone is 120-230 kilometers per hour. Even if it drops to the lowest speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it only takes about 30 seconds to fly one kilometer.
The lifting time must also be included in this.
If it is not pulled up, it means that it will hit the cliff and be scrapped.
Therefore, the truly effective reconnaissance time is less than 15 seconds.
All this is an extremely demanding test for flight controllers and intelligence analysts.
The flight controller must control the drone well to ensure that it can enter the airspace of the reconnaissance point at the best angle after descending from the mountain.
In terms of intelligence analysis, it is necessary to time the capture and identify in a short period of time where there is the greatest suspicion of enemy hiding spots, and to adjust the lens to the best condition to capture ground images.
Qi Sheng remained silent and stood silently behind the flight controller, staring at the screen.
At this time, he didn't want to say a word and didn't dare to say anything.
Anything you say is redundant and may distract the flight controller.
A few tenths of a second of distraction can be fatal to such a high-risk flight.
A strange thought flashed through my mind.
Does Qi Hang's detachment dare to fly like this?
"I'm about to descend, pay attention to reconnaissance and capture!"
Even though the temperature is very low now, the flight controller's hands are still covered in sweat.
He didn't even have time to lift his hand and rub it on his clothes, his whole mind was focused on the screen.
The screen is from a first-person perspective, as if you were sitting in the cockpit of an airplane.
The flight controller even felt like he was sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet. The target was on the cliff, and the order he received was to destroy it.
The scene when flying at high speed is more exciting than a roller coaster. The cliff in front of you is getting bigger and bigger, like a huge boulder hitting you.
He adjusted the angle, aimed at the cliff and began to descend. After reaching a height of 300 meters, he began to level off.
The intelligence analysts had already been prepared, seizing the opportunity to adjust the reconnaissance camera on the plane, aiming at the cliff and taking pictures.
His eyes scanned every suspicious spot on the screen.
Time passes by second by second...
It flew level for five seconds.
The intelligence officer still could not identify the suspicious spots in the cliff image.
A bead of sweat oozed from his temples and slid down his cheeks.
"Get ready to pull up!"
The slightly hoarse voice of the flight controller had a harsh feeling, and the hearts of everyone present were stimulated to beat fast.
The referee team is really cruel!
Such a tricky situation actually came up to test the participating teams.
A new model!
No wonder they allowed the leading officer to appear in person.
"I saw it!"
the intelligence analyst screamed.
The excitement overflowed from his voice.
The other team members felt that their scalps were starting to feel numb, and every hair on their bodies began to stand on end.
Everyone performs their duties, and they don't dare to peek at the screen next to them or see what others are doing.
It was completely different from the ease of the previous cruise and reconnaissance.
Intelligence analysts began to snap pictures quickly.
His movements are skillful and his focus is fast and accurate.
The target point is indeed hidden at the foot of the cliff, a cave about 2 meters in diameter.
The cave entrance is surrounded by white snow, and the cave entrance is also camouflaged, covered with a white tarpaulin. If you don't look carefully, it is almost the same as the surrounding snow.
The intelligence analysts worked non-stop and immediately started image fusion when the flight controller was pulling up, calibrating the coordinates to form a high-definition image and uploading it immediately.
This kind of picture can provide the command with target coordinates and location in actual combat. As long as it is handed over to the artillery unit, precision-guided missiles will quickly fly over and drill into the hole, blowing up the people or equipment inside.
Qi Sheng looked at the intelligence analyst's smooth operation from behind and was immediately relieved.
In fact, he was worried that the flight controller on Car No. 1 would not be able to control such a difficult flight.
After all, the people in car No. 2 are the most professionally proficient team members.
Thinking of car No. 2, Qi Sheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
correct……
Car No. 2!
He suddenly remembered something.
So far, I have not received an order from the referee team regarding the relay flight.
It stands to reason that the latter two targets should have been controlled and completed by Vehicle No. 2. Why is it that now that all targets have been shot, reconnoited, and calibrated, the relay has not yet been flown?
Suddenly, he realized that there seemed to be a trap.
He opened the door of the control cabin and got out of the car.
Standing in the cold air, the biting wind came out and penetrated into the nostrils, as if it had penetrated into the lungs again.
The low temperature actually calmed him down.
He looked around.
In fact, nothing can be seen.
He predicted that the referee team would conduct a relay flight, so he put all the elites on the No. 2 car, preparing to complete the final task of striking the target and guiding the target after the relay.
But now all goals have been accomplished.
However, no order was received from the referee team to transfer control.
This means that the referee team may have predicted their own judgment?
Or is it a prediction of everyone’s prediction?
They know that smart team leaders will put more professional and better talents on the No. 2 vehicle to take on more difficult tasks, so they simply let the No. 1 vehicle complete all tasks, and the No. 2 vehicle is only a participant in the return recovery control process?
This feels a bit like punching the cotton wall with all your strength.
If some participating teams put all their talents on the No. 2 car and end up unable to complete such a difficult reconnaissance mission just now, it would be a mistake to be smart.
Cunning referee team!
Don't act according to common sense!
He returned to the car and picked up the radio to call Car No. 2.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 51 minutes.
It is said that car No. 2 should be almost at the designated backup reconnaissance point at this time. As long as it successfully enters the relay point and sets up the equipment, Qi Sheng feels that half of the medal for the first place in this competition should have been put in his pocket.
The moment he picked up the radio, the intercom placed next to the console rang.
"Attention Team 11-15, your aircraft has been discovered and attacked by the enemy, and the equipment has been damaged. You must hand over control of the drone to the backup control station within 15 minutes. Do all teams understand?"
"Team 11 understands!"
"Team 12 understands!"
"Team 13 understands."
Qi Sheng picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Team 15 understands."
The referee team did not hesitate and started the countdown directly.
"Timer starts, 5——"
"4——"
"3——"
"2--"
"1--"
Qi Sheng calmly picked up the radio and started calling car No. 2.
"Car No. 1 calls Car No. 2. I am Qi Sheng. I heard the answer."
…
A backup control station dozens of kilometers away.
Car No. 2 stopped on a piece of grass with a gentle slope.
Bai Ping, the leader of the team, stood next to the car, flanked by flight controllers and maintenance personnel.
After looking at the navigation, Bai Ping nodded and said, "Yes, it's right here!"
He looked at his watch. It took 51 minutes to get here from the launch site.
"The time is just right, exactly as the company commander estimated!"
After saying that, he turned around and jumped on the control car. As soon as he picked up the radio, he heard Qi Sheng's voice coming from inside.
"Car No. 1 calls Car No. 2. I am Qi Sheng. I heard the answer."
"This is car No. 2..."
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound on the radio, and the conversation was interrupted.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Bai Ping murmured, and then repeated his answer.
"This is Car No. 2, please speak."
"Have you arrived at the designated location?"
"Arrived."
"Start the machine immediately and complete the relay within 15 minutes."
"Car No. 2 understands."
Bai Ping put down the radio and directed his soldiers: "Get to your positions, turn on the machine immediately, establish the link, receive the signal and prepare to take over control of the drone."
"yes!"
"yes!"
A firm reply followed as the machine started to run.
Soon, the link operator captured the signal of the drone, began to access the control platform, and sent a request to transfer control.
The picture of the drone appears on the screen in front of the flight controller.
As long as the connection is completed, Car No. 2 can replace Car No. 1 and take over full control of the drone.
Suddenly, the screen flashed several times.
Then, Link Corporal Lei Jun suddenly reported: "The signal is subject to strong interference, the carrier wave is too low, and the aircraft is about to lose contact!"
The unexpected situation caused the crew members to break out in a cold sweat.
Bai Ping walked up behind Lei Jun, stared at the screen and asked, "Where is the source of interference?!"
Lei Jun shook his head: "I don't know!"
Link operator Ni Bin began to switch different channels in an attempt to reestablish a connection with the drone.
But everything seemed to be in vain. The signal image on the screen showed that the strength was zero. It was impossible to find the signal of the drone, let alone establish a connection.
"What the hell!"
Cold sweat suddenly ran down Bai Ping's back.
There are only 15 minutes. Failure to complete the relay means that the mission has failed and the drone will lose contact. After being in an unmanned control state for more than a certain period of time, the automatic return program in the system will start...
This means that the entire Tiger Brigade unit has completely completed this mission assessment.
Where does the interference source come from?
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! ! !
