The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 156 Test Flight

After all preparations were completed, the nearby land workers and crane workers quickly moved back to leave room for the Kingwing Diver to take off.

Immediately, in the reaction chamber located behind the back, the two liquids and the enzyme began to react. High-temperature and high-pressure gas was ejected from the back. The strong airflow hit the nearby vascular plants and lay on the ground.

Of course, this alone cannot take off directly. The prerequisite for flying with great force is a thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 1. Obviously, this is impossible with this biological rocket jet propulsion system alone.

The base of this launch track structure is filled with a hydraulic muscle system and has a special force storage structure, just like the hydraulic hammer structure of the miniaturized hammer hammer and hammer armor.

But here, the huge force exploded by these hydraulic muscles is not used to push the extremely destructive hammer head, but forms a special ejection structure to provide a short-term ejection structure for things on the launch track. Huge thrust.

In other words, this thing is not exactly a launch track, but a special biological hydraulic ejection device. Its function is naturally to assist the astonishing flight level of the Kuai-Wing Diver to lift off.

As the body leaves the launch track, the broad hind wings of the Kuai-Wing Diver flap to provide greater thrust. A pair of strong forewings composed of exoskeletons lifts the body under the action of a special cross-sectional structure. As the hind wings and the jet propulsion Thrust gradually brings lift.

Under Lin Yi's control, the forewings swept forward at a small angle to obtain greater lift. The long-winged diver who was pushed into the air by the huge force of the hydraulic ejection gradually stabilized his body.

The boost provided by the catapult has long since faded. At this time, it is entirely the two pairs of wings and the jet propulsion system of the Kuai-Wing Diver that are propelling the body to continue to climb upwards, straight into the sky.

The body structure completely designed for flight and the determination to degenerate all useless organs have brought about stronger flight capabilities than the flying reconnaissance aircraft. The rocket boosting system has been turned off. At this time, the power has been completely provided by the wide hind wings. But with the lift provided by the forewings, the huge body still soars in the air on the air current.

The front and rear wings began to fine-tune the angles, like four huge aerodynamic control surfaces, allowing the diver to make a series of flexible maneuvers in the air - in terms of maneuverability, it also excelled in flight reconnaissance.

During this process, Lin Yi clearly felt the overload force penetrating the body of the Kui-Wing Diver. However, at the beginning of the design, Lin Yi took this issue into consideration and made a specially designed anti-overload design.

Like all aquatic levels, the Kui-Wing Diver uses a closed-tube circulatory system, and the inner walls of these blood vessels have been reinforced by muscles and blood vessel wall tissue by Lin Yi to ensure that the overload force will not compress the blood circulation and cause The problem of black vision and red vision that appeared in later generations of human pilots.

Then came the most important part of this test flight - the dive attack test.

The body of the long-winged diver began to rise, and then rolled 180 degrees laterally in the air with its body as the axis, turning its body upside down. Its flexible body swayed like a fish, and plunged downward.

The forewings and hindwings are rapidly fine-tuning to balance the speed in a relatively stable range. A pair of well-developed compound eyes with binocular vision firmly locked on a certain point on the ground, and the body swooped down towards the target point at an extremely large angle under the balance of two pairs of wings.

Driven by the strong internal muscle tissue, the flexible back abdomen bent under the body against the wind resistance, and a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound began to be heard as it dived. Although he didn't know whether the other party's auditory organs could hear such a whistling sound, and even if he could hear it, whether he would react to it, Lin Yi still installed a sound generator on the Kui-Wing Diver for various purposes. Organs that allow it to emit a piercing scream when diving at high speeds.

Of course, unlike the buzzer structure called the "Horn of Jericho" on the JU87 dive bomber, this biological version of the buzzer can be opened and closed independently. When necessary, the structure can also be controlled to close. speak out.

However, judging from the current flying level strength of the enemy, Lin Yi will firmly control the air superiority for a period of time in the future, and there is probably no need to close this structure. In other words, at least for a period of time in the future, such screams will echo over the battlefields of the two nest groups.

Amidst the screams, the Kuei-winged diver had reached the bomb-dropping height that Lin Yi had imagined. However, since it did not carry live ammunition this time, this process was omitted, and the Kuei-winged diver was directly controlled to start pulling up.

The four wings began to deflect, from sweeping backward at a small angle to sweeping forward at a large angle. The rear abdomen was flattened and no longer raised. The tail wing with a tail clip-like structure as a temporary guest also began to adjust its angle. The huge body suddenly pulled its head upwards and pulled out. Rise from the ground.

Another powerful overload force penetrated the whole body, and the jet propulsion system began to work, pushing the body to climb again at a faster speed and into the high altitude, preparing to launch the next round of dive.

Soon, the first Kuai-Wing Diver completed several rounds of dive attack drills. Although it did not carry live ammunition, it still collected a large amount of reference data for subsequent improvements in the structure of the Kuai-Wing Diver.

After some fine-tuning, the mass-produced Ku-Wing Dive began production in the brood colony, and the supporting cranes and hydraulic ejection launch rails also began production and pupation at the same time.

Also started to be produced at the same time were aerial bombs specifically for use by Kuai-Wing Divers. These special small-grade individuals could be produced in large quantities directly from the holes on the supersurface of the fir wood, and could also be used as consumables.

In addition to close ground support strikes, the emergence of the Kuwing Diver, a flight class with a certain load capacity, has made many tactics that have been imaginary until now possible. Therefore, more matching symbionts, or parasite components, are also available. was put on the agenda.

The first batch of mass-produced Ku-Wing Divers and projectiles were quickly completed, and during this period, the advancement of the nest did not stop. A large number of Crazy-toothed Saw Ants and main battle armor, hammer soldiers Under the guidance of the flying reconnaissance aircraft that had not been completely eliminated, A razed the mounds to the ground.

The subsequent flight pioneers arrived quickly, pupated into the mother nest, produced land plants and began to recycle nutrients, establishing Lin Yi's own mother nest group, and advancing steadily.

The birth of the Kuai-Wing Diver means that the speed of advancement will be greatly accelerated - Lin Yi feels that the day is not far away when he will completely destroy the opponent's nest.

In other words, if the opponent really has some back-up, whether it is some kind of targeted mass-produced grade or a decisive weapon like the "Kraken", his encounter with the opponent will not be too far away.
