Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 95 Top speed Mach 9!

Noticing that the two Type 20Js behind were not keeping up, Wei Jiang realized that Mach 2.2 should be the maximum speed of this fighter.

"Let's take a look at the maneuverability of the 20th princess."

Wei Jiang tested the performance of the 20Ji in order to understand the true level of Dongda in aircraft design and manufacturing.

The manufacturing of variable cycle engines requires sufficient industrial foundation in materials, component precision, flight control, etc.

He believes it is necessary to conduct some customer level inspections in advance before handing over the technology.

While flying at a top speed of Mach 2.5, the manta ray's nose tilted to the left.

With a slight shake, Wei Jiang's forward field of vision deflected 180 degrees horizontally, and the nose of the plane was facing the two 20J planes in pursuit, and the flying speed slowly decreased to zero.

Then, the manta ray was suspended quietly in the air!

Under anti-gravity power, the manta ray's flight control is completely different from existing aircraft.

As long as the anti-gravity output is maintained to match the mass of the fuselage, the manta ray can maintain zero-kinetic-energy suspension.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you here."

Wei Jiang was in a relaxed state of mind. With his overwhelming power performance advantage, he appeared to be unhurried in the face of two Type 20J aircraft.

Beep! Beep! ~

A series of warning messages popped up on the cockpit screen.

Wei Jiang frowned and looked over, and saw a large number of fighter jets with a speed close to Mach 1 appearing from the south, north and west of the manta ray.

"14 fighter jets, isn't this a bit too much?"

Wei Jiang immediately began to murmur in his heart. He did not expect that Dongda would be so enthusiastic.

His eyes swept across the screen and saw two 20-jet signals chasing at high speed, and his alloy gloves scratched the top of his helmet several times.

Realizing that the touch was not right, Wei Jiang looked at his retracted hand awkwardly.

"Still testing?"

He asked himself quietly, the fact that the East China University dispatched so many fighter jets to contain the manta ray meant that the manta ray had indeed frightened the East China University military.

While thinking, Wei Jiang saw the brightly lit city below the manta ray and roughly understood why the military was frightened.

With a plan in mind, Wei Jiang leaned back in the driver's seat and stopped making any unnecessary movements.

The two 20-jet pilots who had finally caught up with the black aircraft hovering quietly in the sky widened their eyes.

"Shit! What the hell is this?!"

Listening to the terrified screams of his wingman pilot, the lead pilot's expression became solemn.

What happened tonight was too fantastic. The aircraft before them was beyond the comprehension of all of them. The technical staff at the base had not yet accurately analyzed the technical route of the other side's fighter.

Before figuring out the situation, they didn't dare to launch an attack easily. Who knew what kind of counterattack the plane would make after being provoked.

The two 20-knife aircraft spread out to the sides and began to fly in a circle around the manta ray.

"Fighters ahead, please identify yourself immediately! Please identify yourself immediately!"

"This is the airspace of Dongda University. You have invaded the airspace of Dongda University. Please identify yourself immediately!"

The lead pilot called out over the radio, but the other party remained indifferent as before.

Faced with such a tough opponent as the manta ray, the two pilots had to be cautious in the countermeasures they took, which was also the order issued by the East China University of Technology military.

Wei Jiang, sitting firmly in the cockpit of the Manta Ray, watched the two fighter jets flying around the Manta Ray with a very calm expression.

The two Type 20 fighters flew in a stable manner, maintaining a speed below the speed of sound, and their attitude control capabilities were excellent.

Seeing other fighter planes approaching rapidly in the distance, Wei Jiang no longer hesitated and the manta ray hovered and turned.

The nose of the plane locked onto a 20JI. Wei Jiang moved his forearm and the manta ray shot out like an arrow.

The manta ray's sudden maneuver shocked the two 20-member pilots.

Especially the wingman that was locked by the manta ray. When he saw the manta ray locking on him, the fighter's flying posture instantly adjusted and climbed upwards.

"02, get out of the way!"

The lead pilot urgently urged his wingman to change the flight trajectory on the channel.

The current situation is out of their control. Everything depends on the reaction of their opponents. Avoiding conflict is the only thing they can do.

Looking at the 20Ji fighter planes climbing urgently in front of his sight, Wei Jiang smiled slightly.

The handling performance and maneuverability of the 20Ji fighter are indeed good. It can complete evasive actions in such a short time. The development level of Dongfang's fighter jets and the quality of its pilots are indeed good.

The screen showed a large number of fighter jets chasing the manta ray. Wei Jiang just glanced at it and paid no more attention to it.

"Assessment mission complete, time to leave."

On the screen map, the manta ray is flying eastward. In order to get rid of the Eastern Fighter Formation, sailing eastward is the most reasonable choice.

Just now it looked like the manta ray was sprinting towards the 20-Ji fighter, but in fact it was just because the opponent happened to block the manta ray's course.

"You've been relaxing all night. Now let me see your maximum flying speed!"

After finally recovering from the physical fatigue caused by the technical transmission from the receiving panel, Wei Jiang decided to unleash the manta ray's full power performance to see where the manta ray's limit is after the level 4 enhancement.

1.2Ma, 1.4Ma, 1.9Ma
The numbers on the screen representing the manta ray's flying speed increased at an exaggerated rate, and the clouds in Wei Jiang's field of vision passed by quickly.

At an altitude of 8000 meters, a black manta ray flew through the dark clouds at high speed. In just a few seconds, the manta ray was out of the field of vision of the pilots of more than a dozen Eastern fighter jets behind it.

They could only scan the signal from the fighter's radar and see that the manta ray was heading east at a very fast speed.

The pilot of the lead plane, codenamed Jianglong 01, had his eyes wide open. On the HUD screen, the unknown aircraft that had played a trick on him kept accelerating within the radar detection range.

"Mach 2.9!"

"Mach 3.5!"

Looking at the speed data analyzed by the fighter terminal computer based on the radar data, he was so shocked that he lost the ability to speak.

'Is there really a fighter jet in the world that can reach this speed?'

"Can the pilot's body withstand such high acceleration load?"

No one could answer the questions in his mind, and the manta ray pilot Wei Jiang was not enthusiastic about answering them either.

Mach 4.5, this is the manta ray's flying speed shown on the screen, and the number is still increasing. This is still not the upper limit of the manta ray's performance!

Being inside the driving shield, the manta ray's ridiculously strong acceleration did not cause him much discomfort.

The clouds passing through the manta ray's windshield awakened some kind of innate passion in Wei Jiang's body.

Driven by passion, he pressed his left hand to the bottom to control the manta ray to accelerate to its full potential, until all the performance of the manta ray's anti-gravity power was squeezed out.

Mach 5.6!

Mach 6!

The limit is not yet reached!

The manta ray can still accelerate!
When Wei Jiang stared ahead with red eyes, the signal of the Eastern fighter formation on the screen had already disappeared.

Flying at high speed, the dozen or so fighter planes had already been thrown hundreds of kilometers away by the manta ray.

Mach 6.5!

"continue!"

“Keep surpassing!”

His blood was aroused, Wei Jiang gripped the putter tightly with both hands, his excited face even with a hint of ferocity, he cheered and shouted from time to time in the cockpit.

The manta ray did not disappoint Wei Jiang. The number before the decimal point representing the flying speed quickly became 7, and then became 8!

While Wei Jiang was staring at the speed numbers, he did not notice the land reappearing below the manta ray.

Mach 8.4!

The faster the speed, the slower the growth rate, but the momentum of speed increase has not ended!
Mach 8.7!

The land coastline below the manta ray disappeared again, and the starry sky above the clouds was bright. There was no industrial waste gas pollution, and the Milky Way became the most beautiful backdrop for the manta ray as it flew at high speed.

Mach 9!

When the manta ray's flying speed reached Mach 9, Wei Jiang stared at the number for a long time, but there was no change.

"Is it at maximum speed?"

Wei Jiang's face flushed and he asked in a low voice.

There would be no one else in the cockpit to answer him. It was only then that Wei Jiang noticed a red light flashing outside the glass in front of his field of vision.

Flying at Mach 9, the air in front of the manta ray is extremely compressed, and the high pressure brings high temperatures. "The extremely high-strength alloy body is indeed not to be underestimated."

"General materials would have fallen apart long ago."

Maintaining a top speed of Mach 9, Wei Jiang was intoxicated by the beautiful sight of the slightly reddish starry sky ahead.

Different from the artificial lighting effects in the night city just now, the Milky Way composed of densely packed stars in the sky looks even more magnificent.

Flying at a speed of Mach 9, Wei Jiang enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but it caused suffering to many people.

Alarms sounded inside the Korean military radar base.

Unknown target aircraft, flying at a speed of Mach 9!

Especially considering that the target was coming from the direction of Dongda University, a conditioned reflex judgment appeared in everyone's mind.

Dongda missile test?

"Lift off! Lift off!"

"What's the air defense system doing? Lock on, lock on!"

"Report to the General, the target aircraft has flown over our airspace and is heading towards the mainland of Xiao Ri!"

"What did you say?!"

During the daily life in Tokyo Ugly Eagle Military Base, when the Korean side monitored a high-speed target in the air, the information had already been transmitted to the Tokyo base.

The target signal on the radar was flying at an extremely fast speed. When the computer analysis results were placed in front of everyone, all the generals were shocked beyond belief.

"Continuously flying at Mach 9 hypersonic speed in the atmosphere?!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Has the University of East China developed a new hypersonic missile?"

"Quick! Report the intelligence to your superiors! Prepare the defenses of the Guam and Hawaii bases!"

"Damn it! What on earth is Master Dong planning to do?!"

"Are you still not satisfied with giving up the First Island Ring? What do they want to do?!"

"Except for the air defense personnel, everyone else should take shelter in the air raid shelter! Quickly!"

The high-speed flying target in the radar signal made the top brass of the Ugly Eagle Base panic. They dared not imagine what would happen to the base if the target was a missile.

The missiles were flying at a speed of Mach 9, and the existing air defense system of the Ugly Eagle had no ability to intercept them. All they could do was wait for the missiles to fall on their heads.

"Notify the Space Force to mobilize the Caliber satellite constellation for monitoring, quickly!"

Wei Jiang's momentary interest caused the air defense systems of Dongda's neighbors to the east to fall into panic.

The sudden appearance of the hypersonic aircraft was beyond everyone's understanding.

Is Todai crazy?
Too many people are shocked and this is the only question on their minds.

The manta ray's flying speed remained stable, and land appeared in Wei Jiang's field of vision. The dense bands of light indicated that there were a lot of traces of human activities on the land ahead.

Comparing the map information on the screen, Wei Jiang suddenly realized that he had arrived above Xiaorizi's homeland.

"This speed is really incredible."

"Hey, don't tell me, the metropolitan area is quite big."

With a sigh, Wei Jiang did not control the manta ray to slow down.

The speed of Mach 9 gave Wei Jiang great confidence.

He didn't think Xiao Ri had the ability to intercept the manta ray, and Wei Jiang was not worried about possible attacks.

In his impression, Xiao Zi or his master Ugly Eagle, no weapon could attack a manta ray flying at a speed of Mach 9.

Looking at the city area getting closer and closer in front of him, Wei Jiang's heart moved, and an idea for a prank popped up in his mind. He pushed the push rod with his right hand, and the nose of the Manta Ray moved slightly downward.

The flight altitude dropped rapidly from 8000 meters to 1000 meters.

Now that we are over the territory of Xiaori, it is necessary to give the other party a little surprise.

The night in Tokyo is very lively. People who have been suppressed all day long seize this quiet night and try their best to release their desires in the darkness.

The streets were densely populated, and law enforcement officers were busy moving among the crowd, diligently maintaining road order and preventing some drunk people from lying directly on the road.

On a night that was as lively as usual, something unusual was about to happen.

At a certain moment, there were bursts of roaring sounds suddenly coming from the sky.

The loud roar attracted everyone's attention. In Tokyo, an international metropolis, civil aviation flights never stop in the sky.

Everyone is familiar with the roar of the engine when a passenger plane is flying.

At this moment, the sound in the sky was obviously different. The roar was like thunder, and people on the whole street could hear it clearly.

Pedestrians stopped and looked up into the sky, looking for the source of the roar.

Some elderly people were secretly worried as the roar in the sky reminded them of some painful memories from the past.

The thunder-like sound in the sky was obviously not the sound of a normal plane flying.

"Look to the west! There's light there!"

Someone shouted loudly, pointing his arm toward the western sky.

The crowd looking around were attracted by the sound and turned their heads to the west.

A flash of red light, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, dragging a long red flame, and rapidly grew larger in their field of vision.

"what!"

"Ah! Run!"

The crowd suddenly fell into panic. No matter what that thing in the sky was, it looked abnormal.

In the panic, pedestrians ran in all directions, some fell down, and when they tried to stand up, big feet stepped on them.

"Run!"

Phew!

The law enforcement officers were equally terrified, but some of them did not forget their job responsibilities and blew their whistles hard in an attempt to maintain order.

When the crowd fell into panic, the law enforcement officers who went upstream were like ants trying to shake a tree, and were soon submerged in the running crowd.

The entire street was in a panic, with cars rear-ending each other one after another. The sound of banging continued, but it was also drowned out by the screams of terror.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The red color in the western sky was approaching this place at a very fast speed.

The closer the red target got, the louder the roar heard by the crowd on the street, and it finally turned into bursts of thunder!

Boom! ~Bang!

Attack and destruction appeared somewhere. Above the messy street, in the blink of an eye, a red light flashed past at a high speed to the east.

Amid the deafening roar, the people on the street screamed and fell to the ground. They were powerless to change the situation and could only wait for the end.

After a few seconds, when the roar was heard fading away, the brave pedestrians carefully raised their heads and looked around.

The red light in the eastern sky was moving away rapidly, dragging its flames along with it. Nothing happened to them and they were safe.

The cries of grief and grief rang out one after another. They chose to celebrate their joy of surviving the disaster by crying uncontrollably.

A large area of ​​land under Mount Fuji is where the Uyao military base is located. Except for the soldiers responsible for maintaining key systems and the base generals, most of the soldiers ran out of the accommodation building after hearing the alarm.

Their order was to rush to the air-raid shelter as soon as possible.

Some of the soldiers were still wearing pajamas. In the night, the cold wind was blowing. They didn't care about the low temperature. Saving their lives was more important.

boom! boom!
"Damn! What is that?"

Soldiers shouted one after another, and then more soldiers looked towards the distant sky.

A red light appeared and approached the base at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Most of the soldiers who were running quickly were so shocked by what they saw that they stood there in a daze, looking at the red light in the sky in horror.

boom! boom! boom!
The red light was flying at an extremely fast speed, and before the soldiers could react, it passed over the base at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards the eastern sky.

Turning around in a daze and looking at the red light going away, the soldiers were still standing there in a daze. Some of them covered their mouths with their hands in fear. What was happening before their eyes was difficult for them to understand.

"God! What is that?"

"Jesus bless you!"

"Hey man, help me up, my legs are weak."
.
"Damn it! I need to change my pants."
