In the end, Xu Ziling still didn't tell the drone about it, keeping the last trace of mystery.

A few minutes later, "Shadow Dragon One" flashed across the sky like a black lightning bolt and came into Lin Jianbin's sight, he was completely stunned.

The other crew members with him are also an exception, because the figure of "Yinglong No. [-]" really shocked them.

Xu Ziling controlled the plane and lined up on the side of the tanker, made a swinging motion, and greeted Lin Jianbin inside the tanker.

"I said you hurry up and give me permission instructions, otherwise how can I work hard?"

"This... this is... the drone you are talking about?"

Lin Jianbin, who was dumbfounded for a while, then stammered.

"Isn't this a drone?"

Xu Ziling held back his smile and answered him.

Most of the domestic drones are used for electronic reconnaissance. There are no attack aircraft, but those are the ones they have nothing to mention in terms of performance and combat effectiveness.

He told Lin Jianbin that it was a drone before, and Lin Jianbin naturally thought that what he got was also a reconnaissance model, and he never thought that it was an attack aircraft.

But when he saw the cool appearance of the "Shadow Dragon One" with its wings swaying outside the cabin, even with the least common sense, he could recognize that it was an unmanned attack aircraft.

Of course, if this was an ordinary unmanned attack aircraft, he wouldn't have such a reaction. The main thing is that the cool shape made him know it was a stealth attack aircraft at a glance. , he can roughly guess some of the performance of this drone.

"I'll pass it on to you right away, pay attention to receive it."

Thinking of going to the military factory as soon as his mission was completed, Lin Jianbin didn't ask any more questions at this time, and got busy with business.

The permission command is a verification procedure for the tanker, without this command, the fuel pipeline of the tanker will not be opened.

Xu Ziling quickly received the instruction key and immediately entered it into the drone's system. At the same time, he controlled the plane to slow down and left the side of the tanker, and came to its tail.

The fuselage of the air tanker is quite large compared to the drone, and there is a long hose extending from each side of its tail.

And these two hoses are its oil pipes. The aircraft that needs to be refueled must be connected to it with its own refueling pipe to be able to refuel.

The speed of the tanker flying in the air is quite slow, but due to the huge fuselage and the huge thrust of the engine, the airflow at its tail is also very large.

This makes it possible to refuel the aircraft in the air, which is also a very difficult task.

Xu Ziling controlled the plane to lag behind the tanker, and immediately felt the huge airflow from the picture transmitted by the drone.

After slowly adjusting and stabilizing the drone again, he opened the refueling pipe on the plane.

Due to the stealth of the drone, its refueling pipe is also retractable, and it is usually hidden inside the fuselage when it is not used.

Press the control button, and the fuel pipe will slowly and automatically stretch out from the inside of the fuselage.

When it was all stretched out, he controlled the drone to move forward slowly, and aimed the refueling tube at the fuel delivery pipe of the tanker.

Three meters!

Two meters!

one meter!

0.5 meters!

It was getting closer and closer, and soon the drone shook slightly, and saw that the fuel pipe of the tanker and the fuel pipe of the drone were firmly combined together.

To verify, open the fuel valve.

Immediately the fuel quantity display began to increase.

"Success."

Seeing this result, all the people cheered, and immediately realized that they were still working, and immediately fell silent again.

"When will it be finished?"

Taking advantage of the time to refuel, Lin Jianbin talked to Xu Ziling again in the channel.

"When will it be finished?"

Xu Ziling didn't understand the meaning of Lin Jianbin's sudden nonsensical words.

"Uh... when will the drone land?"

"Oh, this, not yet, and there are new test items. It will take at least four or five hours to return."

There was nothing to hide from Lin Jianbin about such a trivial matter, so Xu Ziling told him clearly.

"It will take so long? What are you going to test?"

Lin Jianbin seemed very surprised by this answer.

Indeed, according to the speed of the drone he saw before, if he stayed in the sky for a few hours, if he flew in a straight line, four or five would count as half. so long?

"I'm going to take a walk on the 'Liaoning', do you want to come and see?"

Having not seen Lin Jianbin for a long time, Xu Ziling simply took this opportunity to ask him to come and have a look.

"..."

Hearing that he was going to board an aircraft carrier, Lin Jianbin was taken aback again.

"Come on, why don't you come, I'll come right after I get off the plane."

Then he shouted excitedly.

"Hehe...then you can come here directly, and I will tell you later, or you can call the fat man yourself and let him pick you up."

"Okay, I'll contact Fatty later, so you don't have to call him separately."

Wang Jian, as a manager of the military factory, was also above the auditorium at this time, so he could naturally hear the external voice communication in the hall.

Hearing what Lin Jianbin said, Xu Ziling looked at Wang Jian below, nodded to him, and signaled him to wait for this guy to come in.

Seeing Xu Ziling's actions, Wang Jian nodded to express his understanding.

Seeing Wang Jian's expression, Xu Ziling didn't care any more, and turned his attention to the drone again.

When "Yinglong No. [-]" took off from the airport again, in order to test air refueling, the ground crew did not refuel it, but the first flight did not take long, and the drone that took off with refueling did not It didn't take much.

Not long after refueling on the air tanker, it indicated that the fuel was full.

Hearing the beep, the valve of the fuel tank of the aircraft also automatically closed, and Xu Ziling manipulated the drone to disconnect the connection between the fuel pipe and the fuel pipe of the tanker.

Put away the refueling tube, control the UAV to leave the refueling machine parallel to tens of meters, and then accelerate to be parallel to the refueling machine again, swing the wings to say hello to Lin Jianbin, and quickly accelerate to climb away.

"I am leaving."

"Well, I'll return to the voyage right away, and wait for the past."

At this point, the aerial refueling test project was officially completed. After the two agreed, Xu Ziling also took the initiative to interrupt the communication between the two.

When I was just waiting to take off, I had already contacted the "Liaoning", and the coordinates were also given there, and Xu Ziling was told that he was ready on the aircraft carrier and just waited for the drone to enter.

Xu Ziling entered the coordinates on the drone navigation system, and the distance to the aircraft carrier was immediately displayed on it.

He looked, and there were less than two thousand kilometers between the two.

"Yinglong No. 5" is different from the previous "Fierce Dragon", under the top speed of Mach 10, this distance can be reached in less than [-] minutes.

However, he didn't control it to fly so fast, but kept testing various maneuverability along the way.

In fact, on the "Shadow Dragon", as long as it has the advantages of speed and weapon accuracy, the maneuverability is not so important.

Because it has the best stealth ability, under extreme speed, it can fly quietly to the enemy's rear or the target location, and then use precise weapons to strike the target, and it can completely use the weapon that is beyond the reach of other fighters or general anti-aircraft missiles. Speed ​​away.

For it, it can be said that there is not much danger.

However, for the most complete test, Xu Ziling still controlled it and carried out their respective tactical maneuvers.

Of course, the results of the test are unquestionable. After all, the drone does not need a pilot to operate, and there is no need to consider overloading. As long as the aircraft can withstand it and the maneuverability is sufficient, any difficult maneuvers can be done easily. come out.

So after making a few difficult moves, he didn't test again, controlled the plane to adjust its direction, and flew directly towards the aircraft carrier at a maximum speed of Mach 5.

Ten minutes later, the "Hawkeye" radar system control center on the "Liaoning".

A radar soldier found that on the radar screen in front of him, there was a plane flying towards them at an incredible speed hundreds of kilometers away.

He saw that the speed was a bit abnormal, so he immediately calculated it, but the result of the calculation made him instantly dumbfounded, thinking that he had made a mistake in his calculation, but after calculating again, the result was still the same, and he immediately stood up in a daze:

"report!"

"Say!"

Said an officer next to him.

"Boss, you...you better come and see this."

The radar soldier was completely shocked by the speed of the plane, and his speech was incoherent, and he also called out private names to the superior officer when he was on duty.

The people who can serve on the aircraft carrier are all carefully selected. When the officer heard the abnormal behavior of the soldiers under him, he didn't reprimand him immediately, but ran to his side in a hurry.

"what?"

"Look at the speed of this plane."

The radar soldier immediately pointed to a signal on the screen, and then took out the results of his two calculations.

"Mach 5? How is that possible? Did you calculate correctly?"

Seeing this result, the officer cried out in surprise.

The signal point of this aircraft on the screen is green, which proves that this aircraft is definitely registered in the identification friend or foe system, but at this speed, not to mention the aircraft produced by our own country, it is the most advanced fighter jet in Western countries Not at this speed either.

"Look at the picture of this plane immediately, and I will report to the above."

This situation was so abnormal that even though the system indicated that it was not an enemy plane, the officer hurriedly reported it to his superiors.

Let the soldier below check the scan screen of the aircraft on the system, he immediately picked up the communicator and began to report to the above:

"Report, 'Eagle Eye' found a friendly plane flying towards our base two hundred kilometers away at an extremely abnormal speed. According to the calculation results, the flight speed reached Mach 5."

"What? Say it again, Mach 5?"

Immediately there was an unusually surprised voice from the communicator.
