Split Sky Rider

The F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet was once the main air superiority model of the American Federation. It was retired immediately after the Three Worlds War more than 30 years ago and was replaced by advanced fighter jets with better performance.

Minnant exclaimed: "F-22? A two-seat F-22?"

The violent explosion swallowed up his next words, and at the same time, the floor shook violently, and Minante fell to the ground sideways, falling solidly.

"The focus has been temporarily adjusted, so it may be a bit crowded."

Chen Fei's hand was connected to the newly formed F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet. The support points were not only his two legs, but also three landing gears, so it was naturally stable.

The F-22 has not mass-produced a two-seater variant (mainly because it cannot accommodate dual ejections and cannot be skinned). In the absence of original technical data, this is a temporary modification plan by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam".

"Adam" has accumulated a lot of aerodynamic design data of combat aircraft. After adapting it to the old model, it is equivalent to college students doing elementary school test papers, making the feasibility of this modification plan not low. It also adds magic arrays to match "Cang" "Dragon" advanced fighter jets are very similar.

Whether it will work or not, you have to try it to know.

Energy points -127!

Energy points: 31273/45000

As expected of a "Raptor", this F-22 evolved from scratch consumes a lot of energy points. Most of them are used in the simulation of non-metallic materials. One energy point can only be exchanged for 1 kilogram, which is a loss of blood!

The total number of spell array imprinted units on the F-22 Raptor is 79/79

"Repulsion Shield (45)" × 1

"Wind Spell Shield (12)" × 1

"Fluid Vortex (2)"×4

"Gravity (1)" × 4

"Fire Bomb (1)" x 4

"Air Blast (2)"×2

"Wind Cone (2)"×1

Although Chen Fei still has a crystal energy jet plan with stronger combat performance, this design plan is still being optimized by professionals. It is better to use it raw than to use it familiarly. The F-22 "Raptor" is most suitable for the present, and retired models are often It means maturity and stability, which cannot be changed.

(Nangong Ruiyang, an engineer of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group who is working hard on the crystal energy jet plan: Mr. Chen, we vow to be incompatible. I can do this plan, I can still do it, ah ah ah ah...)

"Come aboard, my fire controller."

Chen Fei patted Minante on the shoulder and covered him with a "Flying Dragon" air combat interception type individual tactical armor.

It's another energy point. If you have too much, you won't get it back. If you don't have enough, you won't make up for it. If you kill it, you won't get change.

Even though there are still tens of thousands of energy points, at the critical moment, there is no way to withstand the floating and exploiting of the dog system. Every time, dozens or even hundreds of energy points will disappear in the air, and they will all be fed to the dogs.

"Hey!"

Caught off guard, Minante let out a series of exclamations. Chen Fei's palm pressed against his lower back and lifted him off the floor. He had to jump into the back seat of the cockpit of the F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet.

Boom! ~

There was an obvious slope on the floor. If the F-22 "Raptor"'s landing gear hadn't locked the tires, it might have slipped.

A feeling of weightlessness came over, and both Minante and Chen Fei knew that the fate of this small light-wing ship was irreversible.

"You guys leave quickly...ah, what is this?"

The captain who stayed at his post to the end carried two parachute bags and stumbled into the cargo hold. As soon as he found the two of them, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At some point, an aircraft appeared in the cargo hold that didn't exist at all. The shape didn't seem to be the style of the Skystar.

The outer bulkhead of the cargo hold was suddenly torn open violently, and two majestic "Sky Falcons" flew past at an extremely close distance.

Crazy airflow suddenly poured into the cabin. The unsteady captain was swept out by the incoming airflow before he could hand over the two parachute bags to Chen Fei and Minante.

"Parachute ah ah ah ah..."

The exclamation suddenly faded away, and the whole person disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone else had already boarded the escape capsule, escaped from the small light-wing ship, and slowly fell to the ground.

The two "Sky Falcons" did not attack the escape cabin. After all, if you are a human being, you will be shot down. It goes against the principles of pilots to kill all those who are unable to fight back.

"..."

Minnante ignored the captain's misfortune and was busy fixing himself on the seat, racing against time to adapt to the jet fighter's fire control system.

Although he was forced to become a temporary fire controller, as a real combat pilot, he could not let his friends down under any circumstances.

Chen Fei took out the crystal energy block from the bracelet-shaped space alchemy storage device in his hand, threw it directly onto the panel table, and was absorbed by the body's energy conversion device.

The electrical energy reserve of the superpower is not enough to maintain the high-speed flight and spell array of this fighter for a long time, so crystal energy blocks with higher energy levels and density must be used.

“Is the hole in the wall too small?”

Minant took a look at the large hole torn in the bulkhead. It seemed that the minimum diameter was not enough to allow the fighter jet to come out. It would have to be at least doubled in size.

"Actually, it's the same as not. Sit tight, it's about to start!"

Chen Fei had the throttle in one hand and the joystick in the other.

The joystick of the "Raptor" is not on the central axis, but on the right hand. If one hand is injured...it is probably that at the beginning of the design, hand-disability combat was not considered at all.

The large hole torn in the cargo compartment saved Chen Fei some time. The F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet aimed its nose at the large hole in the bulkhead wall. The twin engines burst out with strong airflow. The landing gear unlocked the locking mechanism, and the body suddenly Rush forward.

After the magical transformation of the magic array, the main thrust of this F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet was switched to the joint propulsion of "air blast (2)" and "fluid vortex (2)" because there is also "gravity (1)" ×4 spell array, the body is not as heavy as the original version. What is ejected to the rear is only high-pressure and high-speed airflow. The temperature can reach more than 100 degrees Celsius. It does not get the increase of thermal expansion of more than 1,000 degrees of high temperature. It is not easy to break through the sound barrier. .

But for the "Sky Falcon", a constructed combat aircraft that can cope with subsonic speeds, it is enough to use subsonic speeds. If the conditions are right, it is not impossible to briefly reach supersonic speeds.

boom! ~

The noise erupting from the modified version of the F-22 "Raptor" is no less than the roar of the F119-PW-100 turbofan engine.

A strong push on the back pressed Chen Fei and Minante to their seats. The fighter jet only glided seven or eight meters before rushing out of the cargo hold and arriving outside the light-wing ship.

The sunshine and blue sky are like heaven.

The current body weight is 0, and there is no chance of sinking. It directly raises the angle of attack and climbs all the way.

The corners of Minante's eyes jumped. There were more than a dozen bulkhead fragments of various sizes flying behind the fighter. The big ones were as big as door panels, and the small ones were as big as a palm.

If it weren't for Chen Fei's special skills, this combat aircraft that evolved in the middle of the sky would probably have fallen apart as soon as it rushed out of the cargo bay. Even the Sky Falcon, the constructed combat aircraft of the Sky Star, could not withstand such a brutal attack.

As soon as the F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet rushed out, the small light-wing ship, which was falling faster and faster, broke into two pieces in the air, and countless fragments were flying in the sky.

The sudden appearance of an aircraft also caught the two "Sky Falcons" that attacked the light-wing ship off guard. They watched helplessly as the "Raptor" continued to accelerate at a high angle of attack, and finally sprinted to a higher altitude at an almost vertical climbing angle.

The pilots of the two "Sky Falcons" looked at each other from a distance. The light wings on the left and right sides of the combat aircraft made a huge buzz, and they chased after them without hesitation.

Although it does not have the ability to actively enter supersonic flight, the performance of the modified version of the F-22 "Raptor" during the climb even exceeds that of the original version. In addition to the thrust of its own engine, there is also the gravitational repulsion reaction of the Celestial Star. push effect.

At an altitude of 6,300 meters above the ground, there was a crisp explosion. The F-22 "Raptor" trembled violently for a few times, and then returned to stability. A white mist appeared out of thin air and covered the aircraft from the nose to the tail. The sonic boom cloud was only It lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared.

"Ah! What just happened?"

Minante was frightened by the sudden sonic boom, and looked down at the instrument panel with his eyes wide open.

Speed ​​Mach 1.1!

It can climb vertically and break the speed of sound. What the hell kind of aircraft is this?

Not only was he stunned, even the two "Sky Falcons" chasing after him below also looked like they had seen a ghost.

The height of one thousand meters in three seconds, let alone the "Sky Falcon", even the original "Raptor" cannot catch up.

At an altitude of 12,000 meters above the ground, the attitude leveled off.

"'Stinky Tofu' is about to start."

Chen Fei reminded Minante, who was still confused in the back seat.

There is an altitude difference of nearly four thousand meters between the Raptor and the two Sky Falcons. In air combat, especially in the subsonic range, this is almost an absolute advantage.

Climbing can reach supersonic speeds, and diving by exchanging altitude for speed can also break the sound barrier. The aerodynamic performance of the F-22 "Raptor" has not been wasted at all. Chen Fei relies on his rich combat experience to skillfully master the current combat aircraft. .

"Oh oh oh, let's do it!"

Minant began activating the fire control radar.

"Didi!"

Two light spots appeared on the radar screen, and auxiliary information such as model name, flight direction, predicted trajectory, altitude and speed were also marked.

"Huh? This thing is so smart!"

Minnant found that the fire control system of the "Raptor" was very easy to use. It seemed that he could shoot down the opponent's target with just a few button presses.

"Pay attention to ammunition. Only short-range combat missiles, rail guns, laser cannons and particle beam cannons can be used. Directed energy weapons cannot fire continuously. It is best to set the attack distance within visual range."

Chen Fei reminded the fire controller in the back seat not to use past experience to fight. After all, there are still certain differences. Fortunately, he asked Princess Lin Ziyu's housekeeper for 12 multi-mode programmable short-range combat bombs, otherwise he would only have to fight with them this time. Able to dance "Death Tango (Personal Dog Fighting)" with the enemy throughout the process.

The lack of missiles with a range above mid-range means that the "Raptor"'s tactical choice can only operate within visual range, and it is unable to exert its original beyond-visual-range annihilation advantage.

Minante said confidently: "That's enough!"

He had taken stock of the ammunition base and found that he was not far behind against the "Sky Falcon".

In a real-life version of "Glare in the Abyss," the U.S. Air Force has officially restarted the biennial William Tell Air-to-Air Weapons Shooting Competition, which will be held in September 2023 at the Air Superiority Center in Savannah, Georgia.
