Chapter 421? The Difficulty of Simulating the Blue Army Fleet Is Also Our Difficulty.

Chapter 421 The difficulty in simulating the blue fleet is also our difficulty

"Xiao Li?"

Seeing Li Zhan looking at the clear black and white storm dividing line in front of him, Liu Changxi couldn't help but cheered slightly and said, "Xiao Li, what do you think? It's not easy to take risks if the risks outweigh the benefits. The data can be sent back, but we have to send the technical team Take it back with the airplane safety belt.”

Li Zhan answered the question, "Does it take an hour to form a storm area?"

"Li Zhan, I know what you are planning. Even if there is no storm area formed yet, the weather is bad enough and it is impossible for the plane to fly under such conditions." Yu Chenglin said.

Li Zhan seemed not to hear them at all, and asked again, "Do you think the task force simulating the Blue Army is afraid of storms? It has exceeded sea state level 12, right? Can their planes take off? They should also be anxious. Are you busy steering to avoid the storm area? Can you locate the position of the Blue Army fleet through radio?"

They all looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know what to think when they saw the entranced Li Zhan.

Li Zhan suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yu Chenglin and Liu Changxi, "Isn't the airspace above 2,000 meters calm? We don't necessarily have to penetrate the defense at low altitude, and this huge swirling low cloud layer is an excellent cover for us. Isn’t it?”

A sentence that wakes up the dreamer!

"Yes!" Liu Changxi slapped his thigh suddenly.

Yu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then said to himself thoughtfully, "Yes, why must we penetrate at a low altitude? Isn't the purpose of a low-altitude penetration just to approach in a concealed manner?"

He exhaled heavily and said, "It seems that we have all reached a dead end. We are obsessed with methods and processes and have forgotten the ultimate goal."

Li Zhan chuckled and said, "How about you two captains, fuck him for a while?"

"Do it!" Liu Changxi said decisively, "It's right to not reciprocate, right? What difficulties do we face? The blue side is in a more difficult situation than us. Their planes may not even be able to take off, and a five-hundred-kilometer air defense circle is nonsense. .”

Yu Chenglin said cautiously, "Flying over the storm area is not a big problem, but the problem is that the storm clouds are both a cover and an obstacle to reconnaissance. When we get to the simulated blue fleet, we must lower the altitude for reconnaissance. What if we can't get down by then? ?”

Li Zhan said decisively, "Return. If there are no reconnaissance conditions, we will return and return in a straight line."

"Then I have no objection." Yu Chenglin said.

Li Zhan asked, "Captain Liu, do you really want me to continue driving?"

"You can continue driving. I will take over when we return. You are right. Mental state is very important. I am indeed a little tired." Liu Changxi said matter-of-factly.

The next flight undoubtedly requires an excellent mental state to complete it well. Even though he is sitting and working, as the captain, Liu Changxi bears the greatest mental pressure. Generally speaking, after a flight of more than four hours, the pilot's spirit will decline significantly and his physical strength will also be insufficient. Returning from a normal flight is not a big problem. With the assistance of the autopilot and the assistance of the co-pilot, flying is very easy. However, if it is a difficult flight such as flying over a storm area, the pilot needs to concentrate on manual control throughout the entire process, which is more than 200 kilometers. The diameter requires at least half an hour. This kind of dangerous work that combines high-intensity mental and physical strength cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, Liu Changxi made a rational choice to let Li Zhan continue flying, especially after seeing Li Zhan's flying skills.

The plane has entered the highest level of alert, and all positions are ready to abandon the plane and parachute at any time, and are ready to implement the final plan after the worst-case scenario occurs. The technical team's feelings were the most profound. After all, the crew members have long been accustomed to it - when they go up to the sky, either the opponent will fall or they will fall. There is no third possibility.

Li Zhan raised the lever to a height of two thousand five and pushed the throttle lever forward. Liu Changxi glanced at it and saw that the accelerator was at full power. The D-30KP-2 turbofan engine does not have an afterburner. Full power means that the aircraft will accelerate until it reaches the maximum speed at this altitude.

Liu Changxi couldn't help but frown a few times. Is this operation too cruel? You must know that everything is not smooth sailing above the swirling clouds, and the airflow is also greatly affected!

But he said nothing because he knew that Li Zhan naturally had his own considerations. The captain's decision-making cannot be questioned. This is the fundamental reason why civil aviation has high and almost harsh requirements for captains. When an aircraft faces danger in the air and the ground is unable to give effective instructions, the captain's decision must be unconditionally respected. And if the captain exercises absolute power, then the captain has absolute power to dispose of the aircraft.

It is not difficult to become a co-pilot. What is difficult is to become a captain from a co-pilot.

After the plane picked up speed, everyone clearly felt that the situation was changing. First, the turbulence gradually became stronger, then there was a delay in the data obtained by the detection equipment, and finally, there was a big change in the outside environment.

The situation outside can be clearly seen through the camera. The swirling clouds below the plane are reminiscent of the most representative scenes in disaster movies: overwhelming dark clouds shrouding the city, lightning and thunder, raging winds, and sudden temperatures. Hail fell like raindrops, and huge waves rolled up hundreds of kilometers away hit the land and washed away the entire city. Ships, vehicles, high-rise buildings, etc. were drifted by the power of nature until they were frozen...

Xie Xinyu even quickly saw the situation in the middle of the vortex. The huge vortex was frightening. The surrounding clouds gathered in circles under the huge attraction. When they reached a certain position, they joined the rotation, leaving only the eye of the storm in it. .

For the first time, she saw with her own eyes the eye of a storm that had appeared countless times in teaching videos and textbooks. This was the famous eye of the storm in the Western Pacific Ocean!

After taking dozens of photos in succession, Xie Xinyu is still not satisfied. She believes the photos would have a good chance of winning the annual Pulitzer Prize if released publicly. In her memory, no one had ever been able to photograph such a large eye of a storm from such a distance and angle, so close that it was even within reach.

"Girl in the flower house, is there any feedback from the radio? Please confirm the location of the target fleet as soon as possible." Li Zhan's call interrupted Xie Xinyu's myriad emotions.

Xie Xinyu quickly checked the signal lights that he had been paying attention to, and reported, "Reporting to the first commander in the sky, we still have not detected any suspicious signals. Repeat, we have not detected any suspicious signals. Over."

With the change of mission and position, Li Zhan's call sign also changed according to regulations, becoming "the most handsome man in the sky" and the first commander of all subsequent actions.

Even the intercontinental broadcast signal is very weak, indicating that the weather has a great impact on the transmission of wireless signals.

Li Zhan and Yu Chenglin discussed, "The latest radio positioning shows that the target is at the eleven o'clock direction. They have to go north to return to Kaidao base. Can we judge that they are turning north? We You can cut into a small radius."

Yu Chenglin pondered and nodded slightly, "You can judge this way, Lao Liu, what's your opinion?"

"I agree, they have no other way unless they turn around and go east." Liu Changxi said.

Li Zhan immediately adjusted the course and started cutting into a small radius. Things have reached this stage, so many decisions have been made, which makes it easy to form a decision. When both eyes are dark, neither of them has the specific location of the other. The judgment made based on the intelligence in hand on the vast sea and sky must be firmly believed by everyone. Only in this way can we maintain strong confidence and continue to move forward. Go forward.

"Prepare to fly through the eye of the storm. Repeat, please pay attention. Prepare to fly through the eye of the storm." Li Zhan reported the situation.

The entire eye of the storm is dozens of kilometers in diameter, and it would take ten minutes for an airplane that has accelerated to a speed of 800 kilometers per hour to fly over it.

Xie Xinyu was waiting for the best shooting angle, but she also did not forget her most important responsibility. She asked for instructions, "The most handsome person in the sky, I am the girl in the flower house. The airflow above the eye of the storm is relatively calm. I request to fly over the eye of the storm." During the process, all wireless signal detection devices will be turned on, and your permission is required. Complete."

Li Zhan was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Chenglin and Liu Changxi. The latter two nodded slightly. Liu Changxi said, "We can use all the available equipment. This is our only chance. We can no longer determine the simulated Blue Army fleet." Only visual searches can be carried out in the direction of the location.”

Visual search is obviously impossible. Let alone a storm area, it is difficult to visually detect the target in the vast ocean even if the weather is calm. The fleet of hundreds of ships is huge, but to the even larger Western Pacific Ocean, it is just a group of ants on the earth. It takes time and range to enable sea radar searches, and the fuel of the H-6KZZ is no longer enough to support such a blanket radar search.

Li Zhan replied to Xie Xinyu, "Girl in the flower house can activate all detection equipment. In addition, start the countdown to the formation of the storm. We must leave the high-threat area before the storm forms."

"Understood, the countdown to the formation of the storm is on, synchronizing, you should be able to see the countdown." Xie Xinyu and Master Li Juan assisted, using the model to calculate the time for the storm to form, and then synchronized the countdown to each position.

A countdown appeared on the display above the cockpit instrument panel: thirty-seven minutes.

Seeing this time, Li Zhan and others breathed a sigh of relief. This time was completely enough. The H-6KZZ, with an airspeed of 800, can fly outside the high-threat area of ​​the storm zone in only twenty minutes.

"Okay, God is willing. The next step is to find the location of the simulated Blue Army fleet. They can't be radio silent." Liu Changxi's smile became a little relaxed.

Yu Chenglin said, "This should be the busiest time for radio communications, and the storm affects them more than us."

Li Zhan said with a smile, "Not to mention, what I am most worried about now is that they are caught in the storm. It will be difficult for them to handle our reconnaissance mission."

"No." Bai Bitu had been calculating something on the navigation chart. At this time, he obviously had preliminary results. He looked at the calculation results on the writing board and said, "We are five hundred kilometers southeast of Kaidao. The strong interference they received was calculated based on their theoretical economic cruising speed. At this time, they were still east of the storm area, and they had not yet entered the storm area. Even if they turned, they could completely avoid the storm."

Liu Changxi said, "The Simulation Blue Army has a more complete ocean weather forecast system, and they have sufficient warning time."

Li Zhan relaxed his shoulders as if joking and said, "Perhaps the commander of the simulated blue fleet had a mental twitch and ordered the fleet to speed up, and then broke into the storm brewing area. By the time they found out that they were deep in the storm, they had already late."

"If their commander hadn't had a seizure, he probably wouldn't have issued such a stupid order." Bai Bitu said with a smile.

Liu Changxi was suddenly startled, and said thoughtfully, "No, it is possible, there is such a possibility. Don't forget, we triggered their air defense alarm when we conducted low-altitude reconnaissance on Kaidao. The base will definitely ask for help from the fleet, and it is normal for their fleet to accelerate in order to get closer to Kaidao as soon as possible."

"Then, this..." Bai Bitu quickly figured out the key points, "Yes, it is possible that they have accelerated. Will they be in the storm area?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked down, as if he wanted to see the sea below through the floor of the plane.

Li Zhan just said it casually without thinking deeply about it. At this time, when they reminded him, he was shocked and said, "This is not good news. After all, it is a simulated blue army fleet, not a real enemy. If they are in the storm area The situation here is very dangerous. The most important thing is that if such a situation happens, our mission will be lost."

"I think it's unlikely. The commanders of the simulated blue fleet are very experienced. They often operate ships in the ocean and are especially familiar with the Western Pacific waters. They should have gotten out of the way in advance." Yu Chenglin quite agrees with the simulated blue fleet. The quality of military fleet commanders and related personnel.

Li Zhan said, "We need to be prepared. Please urge the technical team. If the simulated Blue Army fleet is under our buttocks, they should find it soon."

"I'll keep an eye on it." Bai Bitu immediately stood up and walked to the back cabin.

All hopes are pinned on the technical team. If there is no discovery in the storm area, it means that the previous judgment is correct and the target fleet has already turned to avoid it. If it is discovered, it will be a headache, which means that to conduct reconnaissance of the target fleet, it is necessary to descend below the swirling clouds, and the aircraft has to be swaying in the strong and turbulent airflow.

The pressure quietly focused on Xie Xinyu's shoulders. The next step of action depends entirely on the detection results on her side. There will be completely different results whether there are results or not.

Xie Xinyu couldn't help but her heart beat faster, as if the success or failure of the action depended on her.

Everyone was nervously waiting for the results from Xie Xinyu's side, and the same was true in the cockpit. In order to cooperate with Xie Xinyu's detection, Li Zhan lowered the airspeed to 380 kilometers per hour, which was the best detection speed required by Xie Xinyu. .

On the other hand, Li Zhan needs to grasp the timing. Once the detection fails, he must fly out of the high-threat area of ​​the storm before the countdown reaches zero.

Time passes minute by minute, tick tick tick tick...
