"Look at the take-off data first. If it is feasible, conduct a landing test. After other tests, like the aerial refueling you mentioned, we have to contact the aerial refueling plane first. It will definitely not work out all at once. "

Mr. Huang and Mr. Li considered for a while, and finally looked at each other before saying their suggestion.

"The refueling machine is easy to handle. The 81st Division has a refueling machine, and they also have related training programs. It is no problem to come for a temporary training."

Yang Haisheng sat with the two old people and understood what they said. He immediately said that the tanker is easy to deal with.

"Okay, that's it."

This can save Huang Lao and the others from contacting the tanker temporarily, so they decided to do other tests first, and then conduct these difficult tests such as aerial refueling.

With such a decision, this test is very different from what was planned before, and the first flight test has also become a comprehensive machine test experiment.

Asking Yang Haisheng to contact Mr. Lin of the 81st Division, Xu Ziling returned to his seat.

"Attention all units, 'Shadow Dragon One' will enter the speed test immediately."

An order was spread through the communication system, and all the staff, whether in the control center or outside the venue, acted quickly.

"Ready!"

After waiting for less than a minute, Xu Ziling received a report that the test could be carried out.

"4000 meters supersonic cruise!"

Hearing the sound of the report, he spat out an instruction, put his hand on the drone control terminal, let go of the slow cruise of the drone, and entered manual control.

After taking over the manual control, his hand moved, and the altitude remained unchanged. Regardless of the overload, he controlled the aircraft and accelerated it suddenly, allowing the aircraft to enter supersonic flight immediately.

On the big screen, a cloud of sonic boom suddenly appeared at the tail of "Shadow Dragon One", and the speed began to increase greatly.

"Mach 1. Normal."

As the drone accelerated, staff immediately reported its speed.

"Mach 1.5. Normal."

"Mach 2. Normal."

"Mach 2.5. Normal."

"Mach 3. Normal."

Xu Ziling has been controlling the drone to accelerate, and the staff's reports have not stopped.

"Mach 3.5. Normal."

"Mach 4. Fuselage shaking."

While controlling the drone, Xu Ziling has also been paying attention to the various data of the aircraft. Before the report sounded, he also saw the shaking on the screen from the drone on the control terminal screen. Height, the speed of Mach 4 is almost at the limit.

So while he stopped accelerating, he controlled the plane to slow down instead.

"Mach 3.9 is flying fine."

"The signal transmission of the investigation equipment is normal, and the picture synchronization is clear."

"3.9 Mach flying 5 kilometers is normal."

"The signal transmission of the investigation equipment is normal, and the picture synchronization is clear."

At an altitude of 4000 meters, Xu Ziling felt it necessary to conduct a new altitude test after controlling the drone to fly steadily for ten kilometers.

"Prepare for a flight test at an altitude of 8000 meters."

When the new order was issued, the staff immediately began to save the data and began to welcome a new round of testing.

When everything was ready, Xu Ziling, who was controlling the drone, began to manipulate the "Yinglong No. [-]" to start climbing.

Just when it reached an altitude of 8000 meters, the drone stopped going up and began to maintain the altitude, and a new test began.

The speed of the aircraft itself is very fast, so the test is also very fast. It will not take long for the test to be completed after flying at an altitude of 8000 meters.

After this altitude, we carried out tests at altitudes of 2000 meters, 4000 meters, and [-] meters.

Finally, it was concluded that the UAV can reach a maximum speed of Mach 8000 between 5 meters and 4000 meters. If it is higher, it has to be reduced due to incomplete fuel combustion caused by the atmosphere. However, when testing 4 meters , "Shadow Dragon" No. [-] can also reach Mach [-], which is much faster than the highest speed of today's reconnaissance aircraft, which makes everyone very excited.

For such a result, even if the lion had said it before, after seeing it with his own eyes, Xu Ziling was as excited as everyone else. If it wasn't for the test now, he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

"Test the limit altitude."

After calming down his excitement, he spit out another command.

The altitude of 4000 meters is quite good even for the best high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, but Xu Ziling is still a little dissatisfied, and he also wants to see what extreme altitude the "Shadow Dragon" can fly to , so there was such a test that was not originally planned.

Others have been shocked by the previous tests. They are also very interested in this extreme height. After hearing what Xu Ziling said, they should be busy again. They also focused on watching and watched it on the big screen. stand up.

"25000 meters, the flight is normal."

"26000 meters, the flight is normal."

"..."

"35000 meters, the flight is normal."

"36000 meters, the flight is normal."

"36100 meters, the flight is normal."

"36 meters, the data of the power part is abnormal, the analysis shows that the oxygen supply is insufficient, and the combustion is incomplete."

In the sound of reports again and again, the drone was getting higher and higher, and when it reached the height of 36 meters, there was finally a news of an abnormal report.

Hearing the sound of the report, Xu Ziling immediately controlled the plane to stop climbing and began to lower it.

"Not as expected!"

In his mind, Xu Ziling said to the lion.

"Of course, the plane's focus is on the stealth ability, not the flying height. Besides, it's fine with this flying height. Even if it swaggers and flies over other people, they won't be able to hit it without this missile."

The lion has also been paying attention to this test, and quickly responded to Xu Ziling's words.

"That's right."

Although the stealth unmanned attack aircraft is said to be an attack aircraft, it is actually used for both attack and reconnaissance.

While testing the flight altitude, they also tested the reconnaissance equipment on it. No matter how many kilometers or the highest flight altitude, Xu Ziling just glanced at it and saw that the photos sent back are extremely clear, even better than high-definition low-orbit satellites. Even better.

When using drones for reconnaissance, that is to say, they can fly at an altitude of 35000 kilometers. Not to mention the stealth function of the drone itself, there is no stealth capability at this altitude. With today's most advanced air defense missiles, it can A plane flying at this altitude at high speed is probably not enough.

Not to mention those fighter jets or interceptors, because as soon as the plane is dispatched, the drone will be able to spot the other party long ago. At a speed of Mach 5 at an altitude of 35 meters, Xu Ziling believes that even the most advanced F-[-] in the United States In front of it, it's just scum.

"Hurry up and test the invisibility function. I haven't seen this thing before. I wonder if I can scan it after invisibility?"

One of the most advanced and sci-fi features of the "Shadow Dragon" is its stealth technology. Because there is a layer of nano-stealth material coating on the outside of its fuselage, this layer of material can make the aircraft truly invisible in people's sight. disappear.

Although the technology comes from Lion's system, he has never seen this before. I really don't know if it can still be scanned in this invisible state.

I have been testing other functions before, but at this time the lion couldn't bear it anymore, so I brought it up with Xu Ziling.

For this, Xu Ziling is also looking forward to it, after all, this kind of technology is only seen in those sci-fi blockbusters.

Hearing the lion mention it, he also became interested.

"Okay, I'll head back right away."

The UAV has been testing multiple levels of heights, and it has always been carried out on a line. Now the relevant tests have been carried out and only the stealth function is left, so it is best to be on the way back.

When he descended to an altitude of 2000 meters, he manipulated the drone and began to turn and return.

At the same time, a new test order was issued to all staff:

"Start returning to the voyage, ready to test the stealth system, all departments pay attention."

Hearing this, everyone immediately boiled.

Invisibility is the top priority of "Shadow Dragon", not to mention this unimaginable technology that can truly disappear from sight. Once it succeeds, it will create a precedent in history, and it can be remembered by the world for a lifetime. Such a big event , how can everyone not pay attention?

So as soon as his words came out, no matter whether it was the staff or Huang Lao and the people who were sitting and watching, they all became extremely excited.

"The test time is 10 minutes, and it will start in 10 minutes. All radar observation departments pay attention."

Looking at the excited staff, Xu Ziling didn't say anything. After all, he was the same as himself, so he could understand their mood, smiled, and gave the order again.

During the test, the top speed of Mach 5 was reached many times, so the drone had already flown out of Xinghai Province at this time, and the return speed had not been increased to the highest speed, and it would still take a while to come back.

After some calculations, Xu Ziling planned to start the test in 10 minutes, because at that time, the plane would be within the range of Xinghai Province, and the relevant observation radar station would be able to observe it at any time.

9 minutes!

8 minutes!

7 minutes!

As time counted down, the hall that was bustling just now became completely silent, and everyone either focused on the equipment in front of them, or stared at the big screen showing the satellite image.

1 minutes!

Last 30 seconds!

ten!

Nine!

Eight!

……

two!

One!

"start up!"

When the countdown reached one, Xu Ziling pressed the drone's stealth button on the control terminal.

As for the "Shadow Dragon" on the screen, as soon as his voice fell, the surface of the drone immediately began to detect light distortion.

Following that, the dark gray color of the fuselage also became transparent, as if it had turned into a cloud of water in the air.

The transparency is getting higher and higher. After five seconds, the distorted water cluster flashes and disappears, completely disappearing from everyone's sight. The satellite image also turns into blue sky and white clouds, just like a few seconds ago. The existing "Shadow Dragon" has never appeared in the picture.

"boom!"

Seeing this, all the staff stood up and looked at the big screen in disbelief.
