Chapter 111 Falling from the sky
In the waters east of an island more than a thousand kilometers to the south, a task force was breaking through the waves towards the northeast.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the landing flying shark was like a warrior in golden armor, landing on the deck with a bang.

When the arresting cable firmly held the fighter plane, the ground crew quickly stepped forward and started to work.

Inside the combat command room.

Captain Liang Jun was frowning as he looked at a telegram in his hand.

"Lao Liang, why are you reading this telegram again?"

His partner, Li Wenjun, a member of the committee, couldn't help but ask.

"Old Li, what do you think the content of this telegram means?"

Li Wenjun said: "Isn't it clearly written that there is a newest electronic warfare drone to be put on board, and a Flying Shark has been used to deliver a dedicated interface device for charging the drone.

Haven't you just checked the charging equipment sent by Flying Shark?"

Liang Jun shook his head and said, "It's only after I checked it that I found it strange.

Think about it, why would a drone need to be charged right after it lands on board? Does a charging interface device require a special express delivery from Flying Shark?
However, the description of this charging device is so impressive that it claims that it can charge 3 kWh in 20 hours and 2 minutes!

Long Wei just said that his high-voltage charging station can charge 10 degrees in 100 minutes, and this guy is ten times faster than others!

Not to mention how ridiculous its charging speed is, which drone can fit a 2 kWh battery? How heavy would it be? Would it still be able to fly? "

Li Wenjun thought for a moment and said, "The Hunter that's going viral in the military is said to have an extremely fast charging speed and a large capacity..."

Liang Jun waved his hand and interrupted, "Although I have never seen the Hunter, I have heard people talk about it. The drone is not very big and it is definitely impossible for it to be equipped with a battery with a capacity of 2 kWh."

Li Wenjun took the telegram from Liang Jun and read it carefully again.

"That's true. Look at the landing site requirements given in the telegram. It's 12 meters by 12 meters. Although its length is almost catching up with the Wuzhen , its wingspan is not wide."

Zhang Jun stroked his stubble and said, "I was worried before that the electronic warfare drones were short of power and could not be equipped with high-power electronic jamming equipment.

If this drone can really hold 2 kilowatt-hours of electricity, it might be able to provide us with an electric warfare protection umbrella in the open ocean.”

Li Wenjun worriedly asked, "If it has so much power, how can it be required to be charged immediately after boarding the ship?"

Zhang Jun was stunned. "Yes, there is no reason to send us new equipment. Instead, they come to us to recharge. Really, who sent the telegram? Can't you write it clearly?"

"Look at the signature code. It's not from our Southern War Command, but from the Eastern War Air Command."

Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't guess anymore. My only concern is whether the electronic warfare drone can really effectively seize electromagnetic dominance?
It itself needs remote control. What if it is successfully interfered with by the other party and loses control?
Oh, if only Howling Wolf could come aboard."

"I heard that Shen Huoyi is considering improving the Flying Shark, but it just takes time."

"Report! Something's happening!"

A military officer suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Say!"

"The radar shows that an unidentified aircraft suddenly appeared and is flying towards our ship. It also sent a contact message at the same time."

"What's the content of the telegram?" Li Wenjun asked.

"Predator One requests landing!"

"How did this plane suddenly appear? How far away from the formation did the radar show it was?"

"Uh... it should have flown over... our ship by now... at an altitude of 10,000 meters!"

"hiss"--

The two fleet commanders gasped at the same time!
Could this be the electronic warfare drone? It can actually be invisible?
Otherwise, how could it be discovered by the battleship's radar only after it flew over his head?
Also, how come the patrolling carrier-based aircraft didn't detect it? Was it due to electromagnetic interference?

"Report, the other party sent another contact message, still 'Predator No. 1 requesting to land'!"

Zhang Jun and Li Wenjun looked at each other for half a second, and Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "Call back, landing is allowed! Notify the ground staff to prepare to pick you up."

After that, he said to Li Wenjun: "Come on, Wenjun, let's go and see who this sacred person who fell from the sky is."

The two men walked out of the command room, stood on the corridor bridge, and looked up.

In the azure sky, a black spot is getting bigger and bigger...

A dark-colored fighter plane that looked quite familiar swooped down from the sky, flew over the deck of Ship No. 17 at high speed, and then turned around and flew back lightly.

Then, it landed steadily on the deck position indicated by the ground crew.

The whole process was clean, neat, and so handsome that the two fleet commanders were speechless for a long time.

It was as if this drone had landed on No. 17 countless times.

Suddenly, there was a noisy voice on the deck.

"Wow... isn't this the Predator drone from The Wandering Earth 2?"

"I've never seen such a thing before, it's truly a Predator!"

"It's so sci-fi, isn't it? I remember that the crew actually built a 1:1 model, but I never thought it could actually fly!"

"I actually took over a [Predator]!"

"It looked so cool when it landed just now. The pilot is so good!"...

Zhang Jun suddenly said to an officer who followed him: "Go and inform the ground crew to move Flying Shark No. 19 to two meters behind the take-off position!"

"Yes." The officer took the order and left.

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing...oh...you want to make sure the ship over there can't see this drone? You can let it land at this time, so you shouldn't be afraid of being seen, right?"

Li Wenjun was a little confused at first, but after looking at the take-off position, he immediately understood Zhang Jun's intention.

"Although it doesn't mention preventing them from secretly taking photos, it would be fun to make it more difficult, right?"

"You... By the way, let's go down and see what's so special about this electronic warfare drone that fell from the sky!"

As Zhang Jun and Li Wenjun walked down the stairs, they said, "Strange, why does this drone look so familiar to me?"

Li Wenjun smiled and said, "Didn't you hear the guys on the ground cheering just now? "The Wandering Earth 2", do you remember it?"

"Hey, it's true. They are exactly the same."

……

……

On the Inuba-class destroyer 15 kilometers away, Captain Yoshino Matsuo was holding the telescope in amazement, unable to put it down for a long time.

"Ozaki-kun, did you capture the landing of the drone just now?"

After hearing his boss' question, his deputy Jiro Ozaki closed his open mouth and fiddled with the digital camera in his hand.

To be honest, he didn't even open the lens cap just now.

After all, he has been filming all day today and his hands are tired. Isn't it right for him to take a break from working for the country?
It’s all because of these young men from the upper countries. They are indeed young and full of energy.

There were 70 take-offs and landings today alone, 60 of which were carrier-based fighter jets.

This capability is truly amazing. You know, this Type 17 aircraft carrier of theirs is only entering the Pacific Ocean for long-distance training for the first time!
But then I thought about the Air Self-Defense Force pilots who have been working hard over the sea in recent years, and I seemed to be quite relaxed.

"Perhaps this is a sign of the recovery of the country!"

Jiro Ozaki turned the camera back to the deck of the 15th ship. Although it was kilometers away, the weather was fine and visibility was good...

Oh no, it’s already so dark?

Wasn’t there still the afterglow of the sunset just now?
Through the camera lens, Jiro Ozaki discovered that the location where the drone was parked was so dark that it was impossible to take a clear picture.

Never mind, from such a distance, it’s good enough to be able to capture the general outline.

Although Shangguodu called the paparazzi who followed him as his official photographer, Jiro Ozaki felt that his photography skills were really not good enough.

"Oh, this should be a drone. I can't see the cockpit, but the shape is so strange. It actually has four ducted rotors. The flight control system must be quite complicated."

Yoshino Matsuo finally recovered from his shock and began to complain about the new type of drone he saw.

Although he was unable to follow the drone's landing with his telescope, he could only see it more clearly after it landed on the deck.

"Tsk tsk, they are indeed a drone power. They can control the flight of a drone of this shape so well."

"Yoshino-kun, did you see the tail nozzle of the drone just now?"

Yoshino Matsuo was stunned and replied: "It seems not, this... could it be... electric?
Although Longguo's electric cars are indeed good and its lithium battery technology is also very good.

But it is not as good as our hydrogen energy.

If such a large drone is powered entirely by electricity, its endurance will probably be limited.

Also, I didn’t see how many racks there were on the belly of the fuselage, so its carrying capacity is obviously not strong.

This kind of drone doesn’t seem to have any special uses except for vertical take-off and landing…”

Jiro Ozaki curled his lips. His boss was a typical gossipmonger and especially liked to put down the country.

Jiro Ozaki was different. He was a Pan-Asianist and believed that the superior country would eventually return to its former dominant position.

I am even more impressed by the current technological development in our country.

"The Wandering Earth 2" was released in East Japan, and he is a die-hard fan.

Therefore, he recognized the drone at the first moment. It was very similar to the "Predator" in the movie.

The only difference is that it has no air intake and tail nozzle, so it is not a jet aircraft.

However, as a possible all-electric propulsion drone, it has never been seen taking off from the Type 107 aircraft carrier before, which means it flew from the mainland.

The shortest distance from here to the mainland is more than 450 kilometers, which is obviously a long-flight drone.

Looking at the speed it just passed over the deck, it definitely exceeded the so-called fastest electric aircraft developed by the British.

This drone suddenly flew from the mainland and landed on the Type 17 aircraft carrier which was about to advance into the ocean. It definitely had an important mission.

Thinking about the recent atmosphere in this sea area, Jiro Ozaki felt a little more nervous.
