Yes, that's right!

"Shadow Dragon One" truly disappeared from the satellite monitoring screen.

If it weren't for the flashing green dots moving on the radar system screen, everyone thought that the drone they tested before was just a dream.

"Attention, attention, 'Shadow Dragon' No. [-] cuts off the communication signal and enters true stealth. All observation units pay attention to tracking the signal."

There is nothing in the picture, but the picture from the drone itself represents that the plane itself is now flying.

The previous stealth system was only low-altitude line-of-sight stealth. Seeing that the test was successful, Xu Ziling immediately started active communication and disconnected from the base, ready to test the stealth effect on radar signals.

Hearing his instructions, the staff who were shocked to see the disappearance of the drone immediately reacted, and all of them immediately sat back in their seats and started working.

Soon, the report came again:

"Observation Station No. [-] is ready."

"The No. [-] Observation Station is ready."

"..."

After listening to all the reports, Xu Ziling observed the various data of the drone on the terminal, and immediately said:

"Testing begins!"

At the same time, the movement of the hand did not fall, and the communication signal on the drone was cut off, simulating the scene in the local area.

"No. [-] Observation Station, the signal has disappeared."

"No. [-] Observation Station, the signal has disappeared."

One after another, the reports sounded immediately, until the last observation station reported the result of the disappearance of the signal.

In the system of the radar base station of the military factory, the signal point that was flashing on behalf of the drone before also disappeared.

Seeing this, Xu Ziling knew that the stealth function of "Shadow Dragon One" was perfect.

You must know that the current flying altitude is less than [-]. Although the radar system of Tianchao is not the most advanced, drones cannot be scanned at this altitude, so even the latest radar system in the United States is impossible. "Shadow Dragon One" has been scanned at high altitude.

"Can it be scanned?"

He remembered what the lion said before, so he asked immediately.

"Can't scan!" The lion replied quickly.

"Well, even you can't find it?"

This surprised Xu Ziling. In his impression, he had never seen anything that a lion could not scan.

"Of course I can't scan it. If you don't look at where the drone is still, it's still hundreds of kilometers away from the base. How can I scan it?"

Hearing Xu Ziling's tone, the lion retorted angrily.

"..."

Xu Ziling immediately realized that he had taken it for granted. He didn't even remember that the position of the drone was beyond the scanning distance of the lion.

For such a simple mistake, he thought it would be quite shameless in front of the lion, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

touched his nose:

"I'll be right back, so get ready."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the lion's reaction, he left his mind and returned to reality.

The active communication of the UAV was interrupted, and its trace was lost in both the satellite image and the radar system.

Of the two big screens in the control center hall, only the No. 1 big screen is left, and there is a synchronous picture from the drone itself.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the No. [-] screen.

In order to test the relevant data in more detail, Xu Ziling began to continuously adjust the flying height of the drone on its way back.

In this way, it can be seen at which height the radar can scan the signal of the drone.

Satisfactorily, no radar base station on the ground could scan the signal of the UAV in the middle distance of 0 meters to 8000 meters.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and when the time came, the plane returned to a place less than ten kilometers away from the airport.

I took the time to ask the lion, and Xu Ziling didn't ask the result anymore because he had already obtained the scan data, because he was about to control the drone and prepare to land.

The stealth function was released, and the figure of "Yinglong No. [-]" reappeared on the satellite screen. At the same time, there was a flashing signal in the radar system, and various observation stations also reported news of the reappearance of the UAV signal.

Continue to fly in the direction of the airport. Under the fast flight, the drone soon appeared in the sky two kilometers away from the airport.

At this time, the video surveillance equipment located on the roof of the terminal building also transmitted the picture of the drone in the sky at the end of the runway.

"Get ready for landing, ground crew ready."

After saying something calmly, Xu Ziling continued to concentrate on operating the plane.

The distance of two kilometers was reached in the blink of an eye. Looking at the front camera of the drone, Xu Ziling slowly corrected the flight direction of the plane, aiming at the runway of the airport, while continuously lowering the altitude.

Open the landing gear!

300 meters!

0 meters!

100 meters!

The aircraft entered the runway limits immediately.

Pull it low, pull it low!

When the fuselage of the plane entered the runway position, he controlled the plane to pull to the bottom.

Soon the picture sent back by the drone was shocked: the front landing gear of the drone landed, and then the rear wheels fell to the ground smoothly, and the plane began to taxi on the runway.

Compared with fighter jets, the UAV itself is much lighter in weight. The standard runway of a three-level airport with a length of 600 meters does not need a drogue parachute, let alone "Yinglong No. It comes from the above take-off and landing standards.

As soon as the front and rear landing gears touched the ground, Xu Ziling pulled down the brakes of the aircraft under control. In the picture, the wheels on the landing gear of the drone also emitted white smoke due to the friction with the ground. There was a sharp friction sound like a car braking.

And the whole plane seemed to be pulled by a huge invisible force, the taxiing speed decreased sharply, and it slowed down very quickly until it stopped moving forward.

"All data saved?"

The plane stopped moving completely, and Xu Ziling immediately asked the staff.

Whether the drone is taking off or landing, the distance between the two is quite short, because this is the first landing test, so he controls the drone to land from one end of the runway.

The main reason was worrying about what might happen to the first landing. Once something went wrong, the 1000-meter-long runway could serve as a buffer. Then there was the first landing. People including himself didn’t know what to do. I don't know how far this landing distance is. The test is that the longer the runway, the better.

When the plane stops, it means that the flight landing test is successful.

But it is now parked at the other end of the runway. Looking at the distance sign on the runway, it is still 400 meters away from this end of the runway.

It would be too troublesome and time-consuming to send a tractor over this distance, so Xu Ziling was going to let him taxi the plane over, so he asked the staff if they had recorded the video data of just takeoff and landing.

"Save it."

His question was quickly answered.

Hearing this, he immediately taxied the plane again and headed towards the end of the runway.

Controlling the speed all the way, it was much faster than the tractor, and soon the plane came to this end of the runway under his control.

When it was about to reach the end, he controlled the plane to turn to the hangar again, and did not completely stop advancing until he entered the hangar, and then shut down the entire system.

"Wow wow wow..."

When watching the ground crew who had already been prepared in the picture swarm up, there was another warm applause in the hall of the control center.

This test can be said to have completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and absolutely exceeded the test task.

Although some aspects such as the weapon system have not been tested, judging from the items tested so far, "Shadow Dragon One" is definitely the best stealth unmanned attack aircraft, not one of them.

How can everyone be unhappy and excited about such a result?

Seeing the success of his hard work, Xu Ziling's heart was also surging at this moment. While the applause was in his ears, he couldn't help standing up and clapping his hands fiercely.

After a long time, the applause finally went out.

Walking to the side of Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, and Yang Haisheng, before they had time to say a word, Mr. Huang and Mr. Li mentioned going to the hangar to see the drone.

Xu Ziling already knew the impatient nature of the two old people, and he himself had such thoughts, so he explained a few words to the person in charge of the control center, and then he led a group of people out of the control center lobby to the hangar go.

"Uncle Yang, what do you think?"

When going down the stairs, Xu Ziling slowed down and asked Yang Haisheng next to him.

When Yang Haisheng heard Xu Ziling's words, he glanced at him expressionlessly, and said slowly:

"I don't have any good feelings. I don't have the Air Force. I don't have the best stuff."

"Forehead……"

Hearing these words, Xu Ziling felt something was wrong, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

The reason why Yang Haisheng reacted this way was because he couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour.

Otherwise, why would you say that, and even if it was the best, he wouldn't need it?

Seeing that Yang Haisheng, who is usually serious, has this side, Xu Ziling was really surprised and funny, this is not at all like the future father-in-law he is usually familiar with.

But he wanted to laugh in his heart, but he could only endure it, and he never dared to show it on his face.

Seeing Xu Ziling's reaction, Yang Haisheng, who reacted abnormally, also realized his mistake, and couldn't help but blush when he thought of having such a performance in front of his son-in-law.

After glaring at Xu Ziling fiercely, he said:

"The reconnaissance performance is absolutely top-notch. It depends on how its weapon system is. If it is the same, then the drones will be led by it in the future, and they can hit wherever they want!"

Of course Xu Ziling would not bring up his father-in-law's gaffe. After hearing this, he took the opportunity to change the topic to this:

"Now the weapon hanger can mount PL and TY series missiles, and one of the mounting points can mount Tomahawk-level cruise missiles, but there is no suitable one in China for the time being. I am going to make a special one for the 'Shadow Dragon' "The above airborne cruise missiles already have some connections, but it will take some time. As for the others, there is a 30mm cannon in the nose, and I plan to add a high-speed multi-barreled machine gun under the wings on both sides of the top. , that’s about it.”
