Chapter 102: Stream of Light Falling from Meters

"Director Ye, don't you want to spend about the same amount of money, or not much more, to get a better fighter than the modified 4.5-generation fighter?"

Ye Nantian was stunned and asked, "Professor Li, you are not talking about the [Predator] drone?"

"Yes, that's it! Although it's only the 0.5 generation, its performance should be enough for it to fight against the Veyron, just like in a science fiction movie."

"This... can it really beat the dragon?"

"How about I show you its functions first?"

"sure!"

Li Tang glanced at the big screen, where Predator No. 1 was still hovering over the enemy base. After thinking for a while, he issued a new order:
"Predator No. 1, fly north along the archipelago, target Stoke, activate ground scanning reconnaissance system! Conduct reconnaissance and photography missions on the islands below."

"Yes, Dean."

The cold mechanical voice of [Predator] No. 1 startled Ye Nantian.

"Dean Li, what are you planning to do?"

“Well, since it was the first flight, the [Predator] didn’t bring anything other than its self-defense weapons.

Therefore, I can only show you its reconnaissance and electronic jamming capabilities."

Ye Nantian said softly, "What is the destination, Tokaier? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The staff on duty not far away couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Tang explained: "I'm talking about the transliteration of the English name of the capital. This is for the sake of harmony. It's better to be low-key."

Ye Nantian repeated it several times and suddenly realized that Professor Li was talking about that place. This was a big joke.

"Wait, don't go there. The map I just held has already given me an idea of ​​the powerful reconnaissance capabilities of this drone. How about you try out its electronic jamming capabilities?"

"Electronic jamming capabilities. Before you came, we had already competed with the strategic reconnaissance tea table of the ball tyrant. Isn't it because we want to rush it back home that we came here?"

"Ah?! Predator One actually possesses electronic warfare capabilities and defeated their strategic reconnaissance team?"

Li Tang nodded and said, "Yes, well...Zero has recorded the confrontation process just now, you can take a look at it later.

However, this way, there is nothing left to show you.

How about I show you how to shoot a Predator self-defense weapon?"

Although Ye Nantian wanted to watch the electronic confrontation between the Predator and the Ball Tyrant immediately, he became more interested when he heard Li Tang talk about weapon shooting.

After all, electronic warfare is invisible, while weapon shooting can easily get people's adrenaline rushing, which is what soldiers love.

"Sure, let's see how powerful the [Predator]'s self-defense weapons are!"

Li Tang immediately ordered:

"[Predator] No. 1, the previous mission of flying over the archipelago for reconnaissance has been cancelled. We will turn our course and fly southwest to prepare for the follow-up mission of the first flight.

Before that, we will look for a nearby reef that has no human buildings within a hundred kilometers and is no higher than one meter above sea level. We will use it as a target to conduct a self-defense weapon shooting test!"

"Yes, Dean, the previous reconnaissance mission is cancelled, and the new mission is weapons testing."

At this time, the Predator No. 18500 maintained an altitude of nearly meters, with its unique stealth capabilities, even though this was the area with the most ball tyrant bases.

Still no radar could detect its existence.

In addition to its all-electric propulsion, the blades of the four-ducted rotor are specially designed for silent operation.

When the entire drone is flying, its noise is only half that of a helicopter taking off, that is, only 55 decibels.

Its sound is only slightly louder than that of a normal person speaking, and it is basically inaudible when flying over 200 meters in the air.

It is definitely super quiet.

Of course, if it is a first-generation [Predator] equipped with a turbofan engine, then when flying at high speed, the noise will be only slightly lower than that of an ordinary jet fighter.

As Predator No. 1 executed the new instructions, the shape of a U-turn was clearly shown on the track map.

Because the Predator No. 1 is over the main island of Ryukyu, which is densely populated, it must fly toward the open sea.

But they couldn't fly directly eastward, because there would soon be a large trench to the east, and it would be difficult to find the kind of reefs that Li Tang had set, which were about 1 meter above sea level.

The current route was set with the help of Zero, flying southwest along the line of the archipelago.

It is expected that after crossing the Gonggu Strait, there should be some uninhabited islands. It would be best to find such a reef there to conduct weapon shooting tests.

This section of the voyage is approximately 300 kilometers, and at the Predator's cruising speed, it only takes about half an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Nantian and Yue Guoqiang watched the video together, which was the process of the "Predator" conducting electronic confrontation with the opponent's strategic reconnaissance equipment.

For some invisible parts, Zero thoughtfully supplemented them with animations, and the effect looks really good.

"Awesome! This [Predator] is even stronger than the Howling Wolf. They only have two of these strategic-level reconnaissance aircraft."

Yue Guoqiang turned his eyes towards Li Tang, his gaze revealing an eager look.

He thought to himself, "Professor Li was involved in improving the Howling Wolf. Looking at the performance of the Predator, it is clear that there has been a huge improvement.

Doesn’t this directly solve the problem that Mr. Zhao has been worrying about recently?

It seems that it is really necessary to ask Mr. Zhao to come here!" After Ye Nantian read it several times, he pulled Li Tang and asked, "President Li, is this [Predator] fully electric?"

"Yes."

"Those electronic warfare equipment consumes a lot of power. Do we have enough power on our drone?"

“Of course, we used the latest lithium crystalline solid batteries to make four sets of energy storage devices, which can provide 2 kWh of electricity for the [Predator].

It can not only meet the power consumption of stealth systems, electronic warfare systems, radar systems, communication systems, reconnaissance systems, weapon systems and other power-intensive systems, but also support the Predator's 28-hour battery life."

Ye Nantian took a deep breath, "28 hours of battery life? 2 kWh of electricity is only enough for 28 hours of battery life. Your systems are really big power consumers!"

Ye Nantian was already amazed by the 28-hour battery life of the Predator, but it turned out that the amount of energy it carried was as high as 2 kWh.

The key point is that this amount of power is only enough for the Predator to last for 28 hours, which shows how horribly the power consumption of various onboard equipment is.

No wonder it can single-handedly challenge the opponent's detective coffee table, the power of this device definitely crushes the opponent!
Just when Ye Nantian wanted to know more about the performance of [Predator], Zero's voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"We have found a target reef that can be used for weapon firing tests. Requesting to carry out the test mission!"

Li Tang nodded slightly and ordered: "Give us the video image of the target reef!"

As the voice fell, the image on the right side of the big screen changed. In the blue sea, there was an uninhabited island not far away.

At this moment, in the center of the image, there is a reef that appears and disappears in the waves.

Ye Nantian looked at the clear video images and suddenly thought of something. He asked quickly, "Dean Li, what is the height of the Predator now?"

Li Tang said: "You can click on this icon yourself with your mouse!"

Li Tang taught by example, asking Ye Nantian to hold the mouse, move it to the track map on the computer screen in front of him, and click on the [Predator] icon.

A line of text appeared, "[Predator] No. 18600, flight altitude 0 meters, flight speed kilometers per hour."

"Why is the speed zero?" Ye Nantian was shocked.

"Master Ye, the Predator can take off vertically. This is its hovering function."

Ye Nantian suddenly realized that he had forgotten that this was a quadcopter.

Li Tang spoke again at this moment:

"Zero, is the attitude adjustment of StarNet 1 satellite in place?"

"In place, image is being transmitted, delay is only 1 second."

As Zero finished his words, the main perspective image of Predator No. 1 that was originally displayed on the left side of the big screen was replaced by another bird's-eye view.

But it is a complete image of Predator No. 1!

This is an image taken by Li Tang’s own satellite. The clarity is self-evident, but the key is that it can be transmitted in real time.

Previously, because it was night and the position and posture of StarNet-1 had not yet been adjusted, it was not allowed to shoot in real time.

Now is broad daylight, and it is the best time to film the Predator from space for weapon firing tests.

"Predator No. 1, carry out the self-defense weapon shooting test mission! Destroy the target!"

"Yes, Dean!"

As the mechanical sound of [Predator] No. 1 fell, [Predator] No. 1 started to move.

I saw its four rotors slightly turning their inclination angles, and the whole aircraft dived down like a vulture in an instant like a meteor.

The entire angle trajectory is very beautiful.

When the altitude dropped to 10,000 meters, it suddenly stopped, and the long machine gun barrel extending from under the fuselage suddenly flashed in front of it.

This light came down from the sky at a very fast speed.

If Zero had not slowed down the speed, no one in the hall would have been able to see the light clearly.

The track map originally displayed on the right side of the large screen had already been replaced with the image of the target reef.

The next second, a rumble sounded.

The reef in this image suddenly burst into countless flames and smoke. The huge explosion sound was recorded and broadcast by Predator No. 1 even at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

"My f**k, so fierce?"

"It's just like a fuel-air bomb!"

"[Predator] used this weapon to defend himself?"

……

Everyone on duty as well as Ye Nantian and Yue Guoqiang were all shocked.

When the smoke from the explosion on the screen dissipated, the reef was gone!
