Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 183 Driving a Hypersonic Vehicle to Africa (asking for monthly tickets)
On August 1982, 8, after two days of heavy rain, the northern Myanmar base welcomed a clear sky. Large groups of snow-white clouds floated in the sky, like flowers blooming in the sky. After the rain, the grass and trees in the northern Myanmar base looked particularly green, with crystal water droplets hanging on the leaves, shining charmingly under the sunlight. The fresh air blew in, and the temperature became comfortable and pleasant, making people feel as if they were in a paradise.

In such beautiful weather, Wang Jiankun was about to start his first hypersonic flight. A few minutes before takeoff, Wang Jiankun took the aircraft as the center of the circle and walked around it 300 meters away. While walking, he used his superpowers to slowly disperse the dust on the ground into a 1200-meter radius centered on himself, thus forming a circular haze area with a diameter of meters. Then, he boarded the plane alone with the help of his superpowers, and skillfully turned on the optical and electromagnetic cloaking devices. The aircraft instantly seemed to blend into the surrounding environment and was difficult to detect. Then, he started the electric fan and only heard a slight buzzing sound.

This hypersonic aircraft, which was finally finalized after many test flights, quietly lost its shape in the haze. It rose vertically quickly, and its speed was amazing. During the rise, the aircraft's skin magically turned into a camouflage color mixed with sky blue and white clouds, perfectly blending with the background of the sky, as if it was part of the sky.

Ground observers could only hear a faint sound, but they stared with wide eyes, but could not find any trace of the aircraft. It was like a mysterious ghost, disappearing between the blue sky and white clouds, leaving only the eyes full of surprise and admiration, and the haze still drifting slowly in the breeze.

When the aircraft was 1 km above the ground, Wang Jiankun started the vector turbofan engine. Under the action of the two power sources, the aircraft began to climb rapidly and gain horizontal speed. About 3 km above the ground, he saw that the speed had reached more than 600 kilometers per hour, so he turned off the lift fan, increased the throttle, and flew rapidly to the sky at an angle of attack of 20 degrees.

Above the vast blue sky, Wang Jiankun was flying the advanced hypersonic aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Sunlight shines into the cockpit through the portholes, and the various indicator lights on the dashboard flash mysteriously. Wang Jiankun sits in the driver's seat, his eyes focused and determined, his hands steadily controlling the joystick of the aircraft.

The plane's engine emitted a deep and powerful roar, pushing the plane forward at an extremely fast speed. As the speed continued to increase, the fuselage began to tremble slightly, and the air formed a layer of airflow fluctuations around the fuselage that was visible to the naked eye.

When the speed approaches the speed of sound, the air in front of the plane seems to be compressed into an invisible wall, and the resistance increases sharply. But Wang Jiankun did not retreat at all. He stared closely at the speed indicator on the instrument panel and constantly adjusted the plane's attitude and power output.

Finally, at that moment, the speed of the plane broke the sound barrier. The whole world seemed to be quiet, with only the roar of the plane's engine echoing in my ears. A strange cone-shaped cloud suddenly appeared around the fuselage of the plane, as if covering the plane with a mysterious veil.

Wang Jiankun felt this shocking moment, and a strong sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. This feeling was something that the previous subsonic Y-1 transport aircraft could not give him, and it was stronger than the push-back feeling he had felt in the ground simulation cabin before.

Through the transparent bubble hatch, Wang Jiankun saw the white clouds below rapidly receding. The plane was still accelerating and climbing under the propulsion of the turbofan engine. However, when it was about to reach Mach 2, the acceleration was very small, probably only about 1 G. He watched the speedometer slowly jump to 2400 kilometers per hour, and then fluctuated up and down around this value.

He knew it was time to start the scramjet engine. The altitude had reached 2 meters. The scramjet engine started at this altitude with a very loud sound, which could not be heard by anyone. Even he himself could only feel the vibration of the aircraft but could not hear the deafening sound, because the aircraft was flying at supersonic speed and the sound produced was left behind by the aircraft.

At an altitude of 2 meters, Wang Jiankun was flying an advanced aircraft at a speed of up to Mach . Sitting in the cockpit, his eyes were focused and firm, and he exuded a calm and confident aura.

Wang Jiankun first used his superpowers, as if he had a pair of invisible eyes, to carefully check each part of the plane. From the wings to the fuselage, from the engine to the instrument panel, every detail was visible under his superpowers. After confirming that everything was perfect, he took a deep breath and started the next step.

He used his brainwaves to control the helmet and bone superconducting headphones to issue a start command to the aircraft's scramjet engine. Instantly, a powerful force surged out, and the speed value on the aircraft's instrument panel began to soar wildly. The already extremely fast speed, driven by the scramjet engine, rose even faster like a rocket.

The powerful acceleration instantly pressed Wang Jiankun tightly against the seat, as if an invisible force was trying to embed him in it. Under this huge pressure, it became extremely difficult for him to even move his eyes, and the muscles on his face were slightly twisted due to the pressure. But there was no fear in his eyes, only excitement about this extreme speed and the pride of controlling everything.

The plane was like a flash of lightning at an altitude of 3 meters, cutting through the sky at an astonishing speed and rushing away into the distance, quickly reaching speeds of Mach 4, Mach 5, and Mach 5. After Mach 11, the thrust seemed to decrease a little, and Wang Jiankun could move his limbs and eyes slightly, but the feeling of being pushed on his back still pressed him tightly on the seat. He looked at the accelerometer and found that the acceleration had dropped from 8G to G, and was still slowly decreasing.

After exceeding Mach 6, the acceleration was only 3G. He could move relatively freely, but he did not plan to operate anything. This speed was no longer suitable for controlling the joystick with both hands. He had to directly control the components to be safe. After more than 10 seconds, the speed of the aircraft reached Mach 7, a speed that Xin Yijia had flown many times before. At this time, the aircraft was still accelerating slowly under the surging power of the two scramjet engines, but this time Wang Jiankun did not plan to fly at a higher speed, so he used the brain wave control helmet and bone superconducting headphones to order the aircraft under his feet to maintain a speed of Mach 7. After receiving the order, the aircraft adjusted the fuel injection amount and controlled the tail to open slightly and then closed it, so that the aircraft under his feet began to cruise at a speed of Mach 7.

At a speed of Mach 7, when the aircraft is flying at an altitude of 3 meters, the scenery outside the porthole is extremely shocking and unique.

Looking out of the porthole, the first thing that caught my eye was a deep and clear blue sky, which seemed like an endless abyss, pure without a trace of impurities. The sunlight was particularly dazzling at this altitude, shining brightly on the surface of the aircraft.

Due to the extremely high speed of flight, the airflow outside the window presented a strange scene. The air seemed to be compressed into visible waves, forming a hazy halo around the aircraft, like a mysterious energy field enveloping the fuselage.

Looking further away, the clouds below are piled up like cotton candy, white and fluffy. But because of the height and speed, these clouds seem to be still, as if they are a frozen sea of ​​clouds above the earth. Occasionally, there are some huge gaps in the clouds, through which you can vaguely see the vast land below, which is a blurry and colorful scene with the outlines of mountains and rivers, the winding rivers and the twinkling lights of the city, but they all just flash by, too fast for people to distinguish carefully.

At such a high altitude and speed, the whole world becomes silent and mysterious, as if time has frozen. The aircraft is like a messenger traveling through time and space, speeding through this magnificent and fantastic scenery, flying towards the unknown distance.

Wang Jiankun couldn't help but be fascinated by this magnificent and fantastic scenery. Although he had experienced it through Xin Yijia's perspective before, it was not so real after all. At this moment, he was sitting on a hypersonic aircraft at Mach 7 and watching it. The feeling was very special.

However, this first flight was mainly to test his ability to control the aircraft and to check the rationality of Sophon's design modifications in a real environment, so he had to retract his gaze and observe the various components of the aircraft while paying attention to the navigation information.

At this time, he had already flown out of the Myanmar airspace and arrived over the Bay of Bengal. During the acceleration phase alone, he had flown more than 6 kilometers. This shows how fast hypersonic aircraft are in crossing distances. If only passenger planes could have this speed, he wouldn't have to fly himself to travel around the world. However, this is just imagination. There are still too many technical difficulties to overcome when using hypersonic flight on ordinary passenger planes. Even if he uses superpowers to manufacture and intelligent particles to assist, it will not work. There are too many material and design barriers that need to be overcome.

For example, he now observes that the structure of the combustion chamber and tail nozzle of the scramjet engine has some slight deformation. Wang Jiankun projects the process of its structural change into his mind for Zhizi to analyze, hoping to use this real-time observation data to provide ideas for future new material research.

After receiving the data for a few minutes, Zhizi told Wang Jiankun that according to the loss rate of the inner wall material, the safe service life of this scramjet engine is about 15 hours. After 15 hours, the engine may shut down or even explode at any time due to drastic changes in some part.

This life span has been increased by 8% compared with the previous No. 25 verification aircraft, but the base number is too low so it still seems very short. Wang Jiankun is quite satisfied with this result. He uses it for a maximum of 2 hours per flight, which is enough time for the aircraft to fly 1.6 kilometers. While observing the engine, other components on the aircraft have been working according to the preset procedures, such as the camera system, which is preparing for future global mapping. When there is a global topographic map, Wang Jiankun will not have to pay attention to navigation information all the time, and the aircraft can automatically plan the route according to the map.

About 5 minutes after leaving Myanmar's airspace, the hypersonic aircraft piloted by Wang Jiankun arrived over Sri Lanka, then flew rapidly over it, and then continued to fly northwest, passing through the Maldives, Seychelles, Madagascar, and then arrived at the African continent.

Previously, a new human team created by Wang Jiankun had arrived in the African country of Mozambique, where they contacted the people sent by his uncle before. Then they bought a 40-square-kilometer piece of land near a local town called Macassa, and built a fence there. The external announcement was that they wanted to reclaim the land and grow corn and wheat.

Of course, there is indeed a plan to reclaim land there for planting. Macassa is near the mouth of a river in southern Mozambique. The grain grown here can be used to support several other bases in Africa and can also be shipped to Myanmar by sea. Industrial construction is currently underway in northern Myanmar, and the demand for grain is very high.

After the new human team created by Wang Jiankun arrived at the plantation, they marked out an area 2 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide far away from human habitation, and then built a simple airport using cement, sand, gravel and steel bars specially transported by high-altitude airships.

Wang Jiankun's aircraft began to slow down when it was over Madagascar, then glided over Mozambique, and then landed vertically in the base under the guidance of the ground team.

During this process, the ground team did not see clearly where the plane appeared from. By the time they discovered it, the plane had already opened its landing gear and was only 30 meters off the ground.

Because the people around the airport are all new humans created by Wang Jiankun, he is more assured about confidentiality, because the supercomputer in the base in northern Myanmar will regularly receive data sent back by their brain-computer chips. Once an abnormality is detected, it will be handled according to the predetermined plan to eliminate the danger in the bud.

After landing at this simple base, Wang Jiankun roughly inspected the aircraft, and then began to use his superpowers to build the base according to the previously planned drawings.

Of course, most of the buildings are still underground. There are only a few normal buildings on the ground, which will be used for accommodation and routine activities of the increasing number of base personnel in the future. In the underground space, Wang Jiankun used the prepared metal materials to build several 3-megawatt small gas-cooled reactors for the future power supply of the base, and then built a large number of super graphene batteries.

After the base has stable electricity, it will have a foundation for development. In the future, it will initially serve as the general base in Africa, producing some conventional weapons, and then slowly build it into a general base to support the industrialization of the African continent.

Africa is a place with abundant resources, including oil, coal, iron ore, uranium and various metal and non-metallic minerals. However, perhaps due to multiple factors such as race and environment, this continent has not developed a country or nation with a unified culture before. Until now, at the end of the 20th century, the foundation of this continent is still mainly tribal system, and government decrees are only effective in some large cities and capitals of these countries. After leaving the main transportation routes, people still rely on tribal leaders or armed leaders and obey the rules they set.

This situation is more favorable for Wang Jiankun and the Southern Liberation Front. In the future, more and more newcomers and loyal personnel who have undergone brain-computer chip transplants will come here and reorganize the order of the African continent by surrounding the cities from the countryside.

This time, Wang Jiankun is driving a hypersonic aircraft just to make some basic preparations. In the future, multiple bases will be built on this continent. He will conduct a lot of black technology research on this free continent, thus leading the Earth to leapfrog the civilization level, starting from the stable cradle of the solar system, heading into deep space to explore the ultimate mysteries of the universe.

After building an energy foundation and a solid underground space for the base, Wang Jiankun flew the plane back.

After leaving the African continent and arriving over the Indian Ocean, Wang Jiankun piloted the plane on a Mach 9 hormone flight. Although it was only Mach 7 higher than Mach 2, the scene was even more shocking.

The flight altitude reached 4 meters at this time. The scenery outside the cockpit was extremely spectacular and a little mysterious. Wang Jiankun looked out and saw the sky was a deep and rich blue, a pure blue that he had never seen on the ground, as if endless sapphires were spread above his head. The sunlight became more dazzling and intense at this altitude, pouring down without any hindrance, covering the entire aircraft with a layer of shining brilliance.

Looking into the distance, the skyline becomes blurred and curved, the curvature of the earth is clearly visible, the earth seems to be condensed into a small sphere, and the mountains, rivers, and cities have become insignificant spots and lines. White clouds are floating far below, like soft marshmallows, they are left far behind by the aircraft, and can only look up at this super-fast figure.

Outside the cockpit, due to the hypersonic flight, the airflow generated by the friction between the aircraft and the air formed a hazy halo around the fuselage, as if covering the aircraft with a mysterious coat. At such a high speed and altitude, the air becomes extremely thin, and the existence of wind is almost unnoticeable, but some extremely subtle airflow fluctuations can be seen flashing in the sun, which is a unique scene of the interaction between high-speed flight and thin air. At the same time, the heat generated by the high-speed friction on the surface of the aircraft makes the surrounding air seem to be slightly twisted and evaporated, like a layer of heat waves dancing.

Fortunately, the stealth skin is made of graphene material, which can withstand the high temperature generated by the friction with the air. At this time, the plasma generated by the raised parts of the stealth element not only absorbs radar waves, but also isolates the heat from being transferred to the inside of the fuselage. Therefore, although the external temperature of the aircraft is as high as more than 1 degrees, the internal temperature is still normal.

However, the life of the scramjet engine decreases rapidly at this speed. Wang Jiankun observed that in just 2 minutes, the life decay is equivalent to 7 hours of flying at a speed of Mach 3. According to Zhizi's simulation calculations, at a speed of Mach 9, the engine will fail or even explode after a maximum of 6 minutes.

So after 2 minutes, Wang Jiankun quickly used brain waves to control the engine to reduce power. Although the time was short, the flying distance was not short, flying a full 360 kilometers, as if it had arrived in India from the African continent in an instant.

When passing over India, the altitude dropped to 2 meters. Wang Jiankun did not receive any radar warning on the plane, which meant that their radar did not detect the plane at all.

However, India's air force and air defense capabilities are originally very average, ranking around tenth in the world. And from the information collected from various sources, their soldiers are very lazy and their combat effectiveness is very poor. Perhaps it is because they have not brought into play the performance of various radars made by various countries.

After returning to the base in northern Myanmar, Wang Jiankun checked the observation results of the several imitation US military radars he had sent out and found that these radars did not detect the target, which meant that in the future he should not be discovered when entering and leaving the territory of the United States and its allies.

So on August 8, Wang Jiankun said goodbye to his uncle at the base and embarked on a journey to Japan. He will pass over the airspace of several countries to test the air defense capabilities of these countries. After completing his trip to Japan, he will return to his hometown to reunite with his parents.

His mother had sent many messages to urge Wang Jiankun to go back quickly, but he still planned to go to Japan first to get a feel for their situation, and then go to BJ to participate in domestic construction.
