It was winter again in the blink of an eye, Xu Ziling stood at the end of the runway of the large military factory airport, looking at the withered and yellow grass around him, he felt emotional.

Time flies, and five months have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few months, many things have happened around me: the military factory successfully introduced allies, the establishment of a technical exchange organization, the modification of carrier-based aircraft was completed, the design and development of heavy transport aircraft was successfully developed and a complete production line was established. The successful birth of the attack aircraft prototype.

In terms of allies, in the end, Mr. Yang introduced the two companies that agreed to all the conditions put forward by the military factory and became shareholders of the military factory.

The status of the owners of these two enterprises is comparable to that of the Yang family, except that one is in the military field and the other is in the political field.

When negotiating related matters, Xu Ziling did not participate. First, he didn't like to be exposed to these matters, and second, he didn't have time.

It was only when the last two companies sent out management personnel that he, the core figure of the military factory, came out to meet him.

It's not that he loves her, but it's mainly because he has too many things to do in the past few months.Especially heavy transport aircraft and UAV projects.

These two projects are new, and some of the technologies are brand new, and the researchers below can't understand them all at once, so he needs to come here himself.

So in the past few months, he has been going back and forth between the military factory and the University of Science and Technology.

"What? Not sure?"

A voice interrupted Xu Ziling's emotion.

After several months of hard work, the prototype of the stealth drone finally appeared, and today is its first flight test, so many people, including Xu Ziling, came to the large airport of the military factory to wait for the results of this test flight.

And the person who spoke was the representative sent by one of the newly joined allies.

Under the influence of Xu Ziling, the behind-the-scenes boss, the management of the military factory tends to be younger, and the military factory itself, no matter in terms of economy or certain aspects, no matter who participates, it is equivalent to owning a A chicken that only lays golden eggs.

Therefore, it is impossible for these two allies to ignore this matter, and when they saw the young management of the military factory, they each sent the best young people from the younger generation in their families.

Hearing the voice, Xu Ziling turned his head to look at the speaker, and smiled.

The person in front of me is in his thirties, named Liu Long, and his family is from the military like the Yang family. An old man in the family is also a colleague of Mr. Yang. Old friends on the same front.

Maybe birds of a feather flock together. Although Liu Long has an extraordinary family background, he has gotten along with Xu Ziling many times in the past few months. I feel that he, like Yang Kaiming, does not have that kind of high-ranking appearance. On the contrary, he is very forthright. In addition, even the most ordinary security personnel in the military factory can chat.

"I haven't thought about it. I just watched the grass turn yellow. Fucking, it's been a few months. I haven't spared a few days to be with my girlfriend. Is it remiss?"

All the people present were focused on the first flight of the drone, but Xu Ziling didn't worry about messing it up because he had the lion's scan. Seeing that everyone was quiet and dull, he made a little joke.

"Damn, you are the least qualified to say that. When I got off work yesterday, I watched you and Ruolan kiss and go back together."

This time it was a manager sent by another ally named Nie Yunjie who spoke.

Being able to become a top family in the domestic political circle will definitely not come for nothing. Therefore, when selecting the representatives of the garrison factory, he must have learned about Xu Ziling and his group of young managers in detail. He is also similar to Liu Long in terms of handling.

In the past few months, they didn't get along with Xu Ziling very much, but they were in the same place, and after seeing each other from time to time, they each understood each other's personalities, and now they didn't have much scruples about speaking.

"Ha ha……"

There were many people present, not only all the high-level officials of the military factory, but also Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, and Yang Haisheng.

They also heard the conversation between Xu Ziling and Liu Long, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard Nie Yunjie's rebuttal.

Everyone laughed kindly, reminding Xu Ziling that he was indeed going to work with Yang Ruolan every day these days, and those who left work were really not qualified to say such things.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, he argued:

"I mean it's been a long time since I went shopping with her. Am I wrong?"

"..."

The little laughter broke away the dull atmosphere before, and everyone was no longer silent as before, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

The preparation work requires those specialized personnel to operate, and these people who can stand here only need to see the results, so when they came to the airport, everyone did not enter the control hall immediately. Wandering around the airport runway, waiting for the completion of preparations.

"'Shadow Dragon 1' is ready to leave the hangar and prepare to enter the runway."

Not long after, reports from the staff below came from the walkie-talkie in Xu Ziling's hand.

"Shadow Dragon" is the code name of the unmanned attack aircraft, while "No. [-]" represents the prototype.

The voice of the walkie-talkie was very loud, and everyone heard the report.

"Hey... It seems that I don't need to say anything, everyone, please enter the control hall, the first flight will be carried out soon."

Seeing that everyone turned their attention to the walkie-talkie in his hand, Xu Ziling smiled at everyone and said.

"go!"

Without his greeting, Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, Yang Haisheng and others, who couldn't wait for a long time, took the first step and walked towards the terminal building.

Before a group of people reached the terminal, the "Yinglong No. [-]" being pulled by a tractor from one side of the hangar ran into them.

Although the prototype has been out for a while, everyone is still proud and shocked when they see this dark gray drone again.

"Shadow Dragon" adopts the layout of flying wings and no tail, which is the same as that of other countries in this point, but there are some subtle differences in small places.

Its entire fuselage is 13 meters long, but its wingspan reaches nearly 15 meters. The fuselage is made of a new type of titanium alloy, and the outer coating is a new type of nano-stealth material. It absorbs radar scanning signals well. , It can also play a real stealth effect for a certain period of time: disappear from the naked eye.

In terms of power, the high-performance engine optimized from the power of the "Global Hawk" is used, and it uses twin engines, so that the aircraft can only use a single engine when cruising at low altitudes, but can run two engines at the same time at high altitudes. Break through Mach [-] easily.

Because the fuselage adopts a new type of alloy, when fighting at low altitude or cruising, the thrust of a single engine can also make the aircraft easily cross the limit of Mach 0.9 for aircraft flying at low altitude in today's world, reaching Mach 1.5 speed.

In terms of communication, dual channels of satellite and "Eagle Eye" radar are used.

Two methods are used because both solutions have certain advantages and disadvantages, and the combination of the two is perfect.

The military factory does not have its own satellite, and they are a private company in name, but after the aircraft is manufactured, it must be sold to the country, and it can only use the national military satellite for communication, which is doomed to trouble in this regard.

Fortunately, under the operation of Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, and Liu Long, they negotiated relevant matters with the military, allowing the project to continue.

One of the main functions of UAVs is to go deep behind enemy lines, so it is destined to have a long range. UAVs are different from other fighter jets because no one is on board to control them, and they need to be controlled by satellites. It is not enough to meet the conditions by itself.

In this way, it is necessary for the orbit-changing satellite to be able to contact the plane at all times to achieve this goal. Otherwise, the plane will be under control before it flies over people's heads, and it will be a tragedy.

However, although our country has a lot of satellites, there are not many military orbit-changing communication satellites, so it is definitely not possible to rely on a single satellite to fly drones all over the world.

So Xu Ziling considered these at the time, and adopted the "Hawkeye" radar communication method at the same time. Although the distance of a single set of "Hawkeye" is not very far now, as long as it follows a large electronic radar like rc-135 With the reconnaissance plane and the orbit-changing satellite, it is no problem to make a circle around the earth.

As for the remote control and avionics systems, the software was all created by Lion. He referred to some large-scale flying games and designed the operation interface in the simplest and most convenient way, so that the operator does not need too much time at all. Be able to be familiar with the whole system and operate the drone through the remote control terminal.

In addition, in terms of weapon assembly, due to the stealth requirements of drones, its ammunition cannot be exposed on the outer hanging points like ordinary fighter jets, but hidden inside the auxiliary machine.

Due to the use of the "Eagle Eye" system, the huge radar system used on other aircraft can be completely discarded on the drone, so that there is a considerable amount of space inside the fuselage.

And Xu Ziling took advantage of this space, and in addition to increasing the fuel storage space, he fully utilized it for weapon assembly.

Finally, after his tinkering, "Shadow Dragon" installed a 30mm cannon with [-] rounds of ammunition at the air intake pipe in front of the nose. One hardpoint is installed each, and two hardpoints under the wings on both sides on the same horizontal line.
