Chapter 503 Interception

After finishing the work, I was originally going to go down and salvage those boxes, but just when we were about to start diving, a heat shield suddenly popped out of the main structure of the shuttle above, and then all of us looked at us in surprise. Next, a white columnar object suddenly jumped out from under the heat shield. This object shot into the sky with a long flame. It was super fast and flew out of our attack range in the blink of an eye.

"Holy shit, what is that?" Although I could still catch the thing with my sight, because the launch was so sudden, I didn't even see what it was.

I originally asked casually, but unexpectedly I suddenly discovered that a TV signal was connected to the psychic network, and then I quickly discovered that the signal came from a missile hung under the plane. That's right, what we are seeing now is actually what a missile sees.

This missile is actually not special. It is just an anti-ship missile equipped with a TV guidance module.

In fact, this kind of missile is a fairly backward weapon and is on the verge of being eliminated. The reason why this kind of missile is installed on the aircraft is mainly because the target of American and Japanese aircraft chasing was the immigrant ship. The other party was too big. The killing principle of air-to-air missiles determines its effectiveness against this size. It is difficult for the object to cause any decent damage, and ordinary ground weapons cannot hit the immigrant ship. In the end, after much deliberation, this missile was the most suitable.

This anti-ship missile, which is about to be eliminated, is a remotely controlled missile. It captures dynamic images through a camera mounted in front of the warhead, and then transmits them back to the control unit. The control unit usually does not need to control it, because this missile has certain autonomous tracking capabilities. The real purpose of the remote control is to help with this ballistic identification of decoys. Because modern warships can launch a variety of decoy devices to deceive self-guided missiles into attacking the decoys and thereby missing their targets. That's why this semi-artificial guidance mode appears. In this way, because there is a person sitting on the other side, those decoy bombs that deceive electronic equipment are completely useless. After all, no matter how realistic the decoy bombs are, it is impossible to deceive even people. Therefore, this kind of missile actually has certain Functional.

but. In recent times, the development of military weapons in the world has been uneven. The development of offensive weapons is obviously much faster than that of defensive weapons. Therefore, the success rate of decoy bombs has dropped sharply. In most cases, missiles in automatic guidance mode can accurately hit the target. However, adding an artificial guidance method is prone to interference due to the remote control interface, so this kind of missile is about to be eliminated. Even the production lines have stopped producing finished products. Currently, only a small number of maintenance parts are still being produced, which basically means they have withdrawn from the series.

However, although this missile is almost obsolete, it has several very significant advantages. The most important point is that it is an anti-ship missile with extremely destructive power. As long as it hits, it can cause huge damage to the immigrant ship. Other air-to-air missiles are too weak. Hundreds of hits were useless. General anti-ship missiles are basically automatically controlled, and their targets are set to surface ships. Therefore, it will automatically fly across the sea and implement ultra-low-altitude penetration. The result of this attack method is that this missile has no way to attack air targets, and it is too late to temporarily modify the instructions, so it is completely useless. But this missile has video guidance. So it can be done manually, which is the advantage.

Originally this thing was used to deal with the immigration ship, but because the immigration ship fell by itself, the plane still carried this thing and didn't throw it away. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now. Of course, we don't want to use this missile to hit that aircraft, because we simply can't catch up with it. We just hope that this thing can provide a stable view of what that thing is.

The aircraft with the bomb was right in front of the aircraft, so as soon as our line of sight changed, the pilot immediately received the order to launch the missile. Our line of sight moved along with the missile, and because the missile and the aircraft flew relative to each other, we soon approached the airspace near the aircraft, and then we finally saw clearly what it was.

In fact, when we first saw that thing flying out, what we were most worried about was not that the enemy had escaped, but that the enemy would come and struggle to the death, and launch an atomic bomb or something, which would cause big trouble. But I was too anxious at the time, and now I think it was all for nothing, because the shuttle itself was not the original belongings of the other party, but was stolen from the Koreans. The Koreans are not sick, so why are they hanging nuclear bombs on the shuttles? Therefore, it is impossible for other people's shuttles to have weapons systems on them.

That's just the way it is. Through the camera on the front of the missile, we finally saw the whole thing.

Although this thing looks like a missile, it is actually a small plane, or an escape capsule is more suitable.

This thing is obviously divided into two parts, front and back. The rear section is relatively long, more than twice as long as the front section, and the structure is very simple, it is just a cylindrical rocket thruster. Although its front half is shorter, it is relatively thick, and its shape is a bit like a gourd, but the proportions of the front and back parts are not so exaggerated, but relatively close. The slightly smaller part at the front is the escape cabin, which can seat eight people. The thinner part in the middle is the connecting device, which can be disconnected when necessary. The slightly larger protruding part at the back is the power system of the escape capsule itself. The rocket at the back is used for emergency launch. This part is the real flight power system.

This escape capsule itself has the ability to independently pass through the atmosphere and land on the surface of the planet. And because it has wings and independent propellers, this escape capsule also has the ability to fly, and even after landing, it can go around and fly around. It is not a disposable item. .

For humans, interstellar immigration is a rush. The resources that can be brought there are too few, so almost everything is multi-purpose. In addition to its own escape cabin function, this escape capsule is also an aircraft that will be used as a small vehicle after the establishment of a shape colony in the future. Although this thing cannot be used as a fighter jet, it can still be used as a small transport aircraft or reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, this thing itself is designed to be used multiple times, and it is not an escape hatch that is simply thrown out and ignored.

The rocket behind this thing is very powerful and contains a lot of fuel. It didn't separate for half a day after launch, but kept accelerating. The escape capsule increased its speed to five times the speed of sound in one breath. Then flew towards our country.

Although the American and Japanese planes chased after them, they were obviously not fast enough, and they were separated as they chased.

In fact, it sounds like we are unlucky. The opponent couldn't escape originally. The reason why it was able to launch was entirely because we held the main cabin. The previous shuttle had been spinning around because it had lost one of its wings. The opponent couldn't find the launch angle, so they never dared to launch. After all, if the launch angle was wrong when the shuttle was spinning around, they might hit the ground and fall to their death as soon as they came out. Therefore, they did not dare to launch even though they knew that the shuttle could not be saved. However, when the shuttle was implemented, in order to save the scientists who might be in the boxes, we supported the main structure of the shuttle. As a result, this time he found a launch angle for the opponent, and that's what happened now.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Chase him!"

"What should we do here?"

"Mark the coordinates and let the people behind you, boss, let's go after that thing."

Although the speed here is not very good. But you can’t just watch the other person run away. The only option is to start the thrusters and fly first.

In fact, we didn’t fly very long, because this place is actually not far from our country’s territorial waters. In the past, support could not be reached from a distance, but now that it is close, it is different. However, the first one to arrive was not a domestic aircraft, but a large ultra-high-speed penetration transport aircraft taking off from a secret base under the nearby sea.

This transport aircraft is not large in size. The shape is also very special. When folded, it looks like an oversized missile, without saying anything in advance. You would never guess that it is actually a transport aircraft.

This kind of transport aircraft is transported by a special submarine, which can be very close to the enemy's coast, and then launched by the submarine underwater. Of course, the submarine can also be launched from the surface of the water. The transport will immediately emerge from the sea after launch. Then it relies on the four sets of rocket boosters at the back to accelerate to more than eight times the speed of sound in a very short period of time, and then breaks into the enemy's airspace at ultra-low altitude and goes deep behind the enemy's rear to directly forcibly deliver the carrier unit.

Of course, this kind of thing is not prepared for conventional warfare, but belongs to a special combat unit. Its main function is to deliver special forces or special materials into the enemy's rear. It is regarded as a special warfare weapon.

We were lucky. There happened to be a transport submarine of this type being inspected nearby, and we came up immediately after receiving the order. However, because time was too tight, no combatants were brought with them. They only had time to stuff a few combat robots into the transport plane. None of the humans got in anyway, because it took too long to wait for the combatants to assemble. Our side does not lack combat power anyway, but what we lack is transportation units, so we let them come over as quickly as possible.

As soon as the submarine left the port, it launched a transport plane. Then, after the transport plane rushed out of the sea, it flew towards us twice. After picking up us, it circled and flew after the escape capsule.

The speed of that escape capsule is only five times the speed of sound, and after the booster rocket is used up, the speed drops to twice the speed of sound, but the transport plane we are traveling on can reach a speed of 8 times the speed of sound, which is obviously much faster than the opponent. Unfortunately, our transport aircraft also relies on rocket engines to accelerate, which means that there is a time limit for 8 times the speed of sound, and this speed cannot be maintained forever. However, the rocket engine on the transport plane obviously flew much longer than the opponent's booster, and even if the rocket engine stalled, the transport plane still had a terrifying speed of up to 4 times the speed of sound, which was much faster than the opponent's escape capsule.

In fact, if we continue to pursue pursuit here, the domestic side will not be idle either. Several fighter jets scrambled to intercept, and mobile air defense units were also dispatched to the opponent's possible landing point to intercept them. The only thing that makes everyone feel more at ease is that the opponent's escape capsule cannot have a weapon system. The worst case scenario is that the opponent's escape capsule directly hits the building, which will make the situation slightly worse. After the opponent lands, they should have some weapons in their hands, but the weapons that can be brought into the escape cabin will definitely not be large weapons. Those individual soldier equipment should not cause too big a problem.

The seaside area of ​​a small city on the eastern coast of my country. There is a large square built here, because there is a beach in front, the scenery is very good, and the air is good, so there are some young couples and other activities here every day. Of course, it's only during the day. At night, this is the famous square dance center nearby, which is dominated by the aunts.

At this time, because it was noon and the sun was relatively bright, there were not many people on the beach. However, it was a seaside square after all, so no matter how few people there were, there were still some.

While the people in the square were doing their own things, several military vehicles suddenly rushed over from outside the square. These cars did not go through the entrance of the square at all, because there was a row of stone blocks blocking the entry of cars, making it impossible for cars to drive in. However, although these military vehicles can't do anything against these stone blocks, it doesn't mean that they can't do anything about the isolation belt.

The leading military armored vehicle drove directly into the green belt on the edge of the square, then broke through the stainless steel guardrail and rushed into the square from the flower bed. It completely ignored the steps in the circular sunken area in the center of the square and rushed all the way. He went down, then rushed up from here, and rushed to the platform on the seaside before flicking to a stop.

Following this armored off-road vehicle were three large military vehicles. The fronts of the vehicles were all the same, but the structure of the compartments behind them was a little different. The body of the front car seems to be something very complicated, but because the structure is too messy, it can't be seen, but the two cars behind are more obvious. They are clearly a missile launch vehicle and a transportation support vehicle. car.

This is actually the most basic mobile air defense group. The off-road vehicle at the front is an armed reconnaissance vehicle and a pilot vehicle. The strange looking thing is actually a radar vehicle and a command vehicle. The one carrying a rotatable launcher is most recognizable as a missile launcher. The one at the back looks very much like an ordinary truck, except that the one with an extra boom in the middle is an ammunition and support vehicle, responsible for maintenance and ammunition replenishment.

After the four vehicles rushed into the square, several soldiers jumped out immediately. Then they saw that the complex structure on the top of the radar vehicle was slowly being erected. At the same time, the structure was still slowly unfolding. Although it was not completely raised, it was already ready. Saw the structure of a huge radar antenna. The missile vehicle on the other side is also unfolding, but instead of unfolding the launcher, it is unfolding the metal stabilizing bracket. The transmitter vehicle is different from the radar vehicle. The radar does not produce reaction force, so it can be used directly when it is erected. However, when the missile vehicle is launched, it will have a great impact on the vehicle body. Therefore, it is necessary to deploy a set of metal stabilizing brackets like a crane to lift the chassis. The car body remains stable.

Just as the action team was unfolding, in the distant sky, the people on the escape capsule were looking nervously at the coastline in front of them, because they had no idea what was waiting for them ahead. Moreover, even though they are still struggling to their death, they already know their fate. (To be continued ~^~)
