Chapter 544 - Boeing’s Map Cannon

The bus from Las Vegas to Area 51 was filled with laughter and joy

Haha, Lao Qiu heard last night that you guys seemed to be disgraced when you went to open a copy of the casino and lost.

Yes, almost half of the people lost so much that they almost even pawned their underwear.

Nonsense. I lost five thousand dollars yesterday. The casinos here are not authentic and don’t allow anyone to win. No wonder they are so rich.

Yes, you only lost 5,000 and I lost 10,000. The dealer must be cheating.

Stop it. It’s just you guys with bad hands. I’ll let it go. Stop playing around. You’re all creating GDP for the old Americans.

Major Lin heard that you and your teacher won a lot of real and fake prizes yesterday.

Soon everyone's conversation turned to Lin Mo and Professor Yan. In yesterday's casino copy, Professor Yan's master and apprentice were among the few who won a little but did not lose any money.

Uh, no more, no more

Lin Mo shook his head. He was not good at gambling or anything like that. It was a blessing to be able to win some money.

Professor Leng Yan didn’t care at all about whether he won more or less last night. First, he was gambling. Second, he had a great mentality. He didn’t even lose much. He played more than a dozen games and still won over 200,000 US dollars. To him, it was nothing more. After winning a number, I don’t pay much attention to money as I get older.

Dragon Knight is not the God of Gamblers. Lin Mo loses everything in roulette and stud. He only managed to win a little by playing slot machines. Fortunately, he won four to five thousand US dollars.

On the contrary, by betting on darts with others, he gained the title of darts king. Minus the losses, he also made over 100,000 U.S. dollars, just enough for the experts to have a late-night snack.

There was a burst of laughter in the bus. Last night’s show was very lively. Las Vegas was not in vain at all.

Did you see that Area 51 seems to have tightened martial law today?

The bus encountered a newly added checkpoint on the highway fifteen kilometers away from Area 51.

There are fortifications piled up with sandbags on both sides of the road, as well as the long barrels and black muzzles of the flattened twin anti-aircraft machine guns, and the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank next to them, forming a murderous first line of defense.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement. Yes, it seems that Boeing plans to give us a surprise today. Americans never know how to be subtle.

Master and disciple looked at each other and smiled

Area 51 seems to be too cautious

It is obviously a small checkpoint, but its firepower is comparable to that of a small stronghold. It can be as strong as a company of troops or even stronger. It is extremely cruel to shoot people with anti-aircraft machine guns.

Everyone went through another inspection just like yesterday, but it was more strict and detailed.

The giant gold dragon was still extremely depressed as he was stuffed into a dark cardboard box and cursed the old American for screwing up today's test flight.

In addition to a few military dogs yesterday, Lin Mo also saw the standard gold-coated Tibetan mastiff breed. This is not a search-type fierce dog, but a defensive-attack type. It is much more ferocious than the black-backed ones.

The soldiers in Area 51 are extraordinarily courageous and have extraordinary imaginations.

Lin Mo looked at the Tibetan Mastiff with cold eyes. The other party just whimpered a few times and looked at him fiercely without showing any sign of weakness.

Lin Mo's reaction was completely different from other dogs. This dog meat stew is not easy to eat.

After all, he's just a proud dog and he's still invulnerable

The nearby military dogs seemed to have sensed Lin Mo's gaze. Although they did not react as much as yesterday, they still stood up with their hairs raised and silently stared at the human who was full of danger.

The American soldier finally discovered the source of the abnormal phenomenon and looked at Lin Mo with surprised eyes. What was this guy doing? How could a military dog ​​be so afraid of him?

Lin Mo only responded with a faint smile

Rows of seats were set up next to the long runway. Since the venue was very large, the distance between each chair was very loose. On the chairs were placed telescopes, sun hats and purified water.

There are also small tables placed at regular intervals, with cakes, dried fruits and other snacks on them. There are also boxes of drinks underneath for people to take as they please.

Nearly a thousand visiting expert groups were placed on one side of the runway, and it didn’t look crowded at all.

On the other side of the runway, anti-aircraft gun positions and anti-aircraft missile positions are arranged, perhaps as a precautionary measure.

Four fa-xx have been towed out

Only two of them had pilots ready to go next to them, while the other two had their canopies closed, obviously they were intended to be used as drones.

Boeing is not bluffing. The sixth-generation aircraft is really a dual-mode model.

Not only that, but two F-22 Raptors were also pulled out. It was obvious that they were doing a confrontation demonstration. Lockheed Martin expressed indignation and helplessness about this. Isn’t it bullying for a sixth-generation aircraft to fight a fourth-generation aircraft?

Flying a drone is a headache

Lin Mo, who has had a fierce fight with a drone, naturally knows how difficult this FA-xx is. Without a powerful aircraft to deal with it, China is destined to be suppressed and beaten.

With the development cycle of fighter jets, you can almost clearly see the future from now, and the performance of the aircraft you see now does not represent the performance of the future. It will only be stronger and more terrifying in the future.

In particular, the Adam intelligent core that Boeing is showing off is being continuously upgraded every day. By the time it is officially installed, we still don’t know how powerful it is.

Professor Yan saw his apprentice's sudden expression of gritted teeth and asked with concern: "Lin Mo, don't you look bad?"

See the countless flames and smoke falling from the Chinese Air Force

There seemed to be a faint light of fire in Lin Mo's pupils, reflecting the combat capabilities of the drone he encountered above the South China Sea. I am afraid that there are not many experts in the country who can resist such an attack.

At least you must be a pilot at the level of a senior colonel to fight against it.

How is the combat effectiveness of fa-xx? Today's flight demonstration is critical and will have a significant and far-reaching impact on the development pattern of the international aviation community.

The emergence of intelligent unmanned combat systems will change the mode of war. In the past, competition in war weapons mainly relied on the human factor of the user, which can fill a certain technological generation gap.

The selection and training of pilots has always been a high threshold. Decades of training and growth mean that pilots cannot be produced in one turn like a production line. The level of pilots varies depending on talent.

But when this restriction no longer exists, combat weapons that take advantage of technological differences will become the most terrifying thing on the battlefield.

What a terrifying scene it would be for an excellent pilot to encounter a large group of unmanned fighter jets that can come off the assembly line and have combat effectiveness close to that of a quasi-ace.

The personal ace advantage of beating the master to death with random punches will be wiped out. Even if the super ace Erich Hartmann in history is reborn, he will only be able to flee.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but shudder. Even if he and Jin Coin teamed up to equip the world's most advanced missiles and cannons, it wouldn't be enough for a bunch of fa-xx gangs to fight.

That's right

As an old man in the aviation industry, Professor Yan also resonated in his heart when he heard this. With no casualties and the mass-produced air knights, the duel will evolve into a group battle. The country's technological accumulation and industrial base will determine the outcome of the war.

The United States has left China behind again

Hey, teacher, look what they are mounting.

Lin Mo pointed to the tarmac. People from Boeing seemed to be loading weapons on six fighter jets. Under the wings of each Fa-xx, a long box-like thing was hanging, which looked neither like a missile nor a rocket nest.

Well, Professor Yan pushed down his reading glasses, took a closer look, shook his head and said: I’m not sure, it should be something similar to an aerial bomb, maybe a small bomb nest.

No, that’s the ‘Metal Storm Weapon Launching System’ airborne map cannon, a real map cannon.

An expert next to him spoke and seemed to recognize the strange object under the wing of the fa-xx.

Oh, Old Shen, you know Professor Yan glanced at Cheng Fei’s old colleague Professor Shen Congwu in surprise.

Well, of course, I study airborne weapon systems. This is my old field. The airborne metal storm weapon is a very powerful weapon for ground attacks. It can automatically set the attack area and is very convenient to operate. It only needs to be on the electronic map. Choose the attack area and the shape of the firepower coverage can be set arbitrarily, even if it is hollow. Once the fighter jet flies over the attack area, the airborne metal storm will immediately launch an attack accurately. The intensive firepower is difficult for even tanks to defend. This is not a map cannon.

Professor Shen Congwu introduced the strange weapons mounted under the wings of the fa-xx like a familiar treasure.

Lao Shen said it was good. Airborne Metal Storm has strong firepower and is especially suitable for attacking civilians and areas with mixed targets. It also has very fierce infantry positions.

Other experts agree

At this time, weapons loading has been completed on the tarmac. On the runway, six Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft began to take off and fly in six directions.

It will intercept high-definition videos from multiple angles. Boeing also has its own Ghost Eye unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but its performance is still slightly inferior to Northrop Grumman's jet-powered Global Hawk.

However, Boeing doesn't mind this small detail. Their main promotion is fa-xx. This is what determines Boeing's future position in arms supply.

Not long after the Global Hawk took off, two Fa-xx fighter jets in unmanned mode began to drive towards the runway. The moment the engines were ignited, they attracted almost everyone's attention on the tarmac.

Aviation experts from various countries raised their telescopes and stared at the tail of the fa-xx.
