Changkong Fighter

Chapter 328 MIA
As time passed, no spacecraft from any alien civilization arrived on Earth through the wormhole.

The area around the wormhole was deathly silent, while J-15T aircraft launched from the Liaoning patrolled around the wormhole to prevent an alien civilization from launching a surprise attack from within it.

Two squadrons of J-15T helicopters provided aerial cover, while the helicopter search and rescue squadron risked being attacked by extraterrestrial civilizations, shuttling between the Liaoning and the Sydney ruins.

"Still haven't found them? It's been three days already!"

Inside the Liaoning, the captain, the air wing commander, and the commander in charge of the search and rescue looked at the search and rescue results with grim faces. The air wing commander looked particularly greasy and had dark circles under his eyes.

His ace soldier disappeared during the battle, and after 48 hours of searching, nothing was found!
That's right! Inside the bombed-out Sydney, no J-15T wreckage was found, not even the most robust fuselage parts. Only a few weapon casings and fragments were found.

It was precisely because the wreckage of the fighter jet had not been found that the search and rescue personnel did not give up, adhering to the orders from their superiors: "Find the person alive or dead."

The search and rescue team will not give up until they find Chang Kong's body or something that can prove he was killed in action.

From the moment the mission was launched and the news of the distress of the aircraft "Chang Kong" was received, the helicopters began a search and rescue operation, including but not limited to possible parachute locations and the condition of the aircraft. Even the ground search and rescue teams, wearing thick protective suits, began the search and rescue operation.

In the sky, drones and helicopters taking off from various warships are constantly expanding the search and rescue area. In particular, drones, which can stay airborne for a long time, have become the main force in the search.

On the Liaoning, based on data transmitted from aerial reconnaissance, helicopters and other equipment were dispatched to verify and determine the pilot's exact location.

Considering the possibility of Chang Kong parachuting and actively seeking self-rescue, the drone uses an electro-optical ball to search for unidentified heat sources and reflected signals 24 hours a day, especially smoke grenades and signal guns.

On the ground, several rescue teams quickly arrived at the target area and began a thorough search. As the name suggests, they carried heavy equipment and heart rate detectors, searching for any possible heartbeats in the surrounding area.

After discovering some human remains, they immediately began to identify the bodies.

The search continued for a full week, but Chang Kong seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth; there was no sign of him alive or dead!
As time went by, Chang Kong's chances of survival became increasingly slim, but no one said he had died in battle, nor were they willing to acknowledge his sacrifice.

"Could Comrade Changkong have been vaporized by a nuclear bomb?" an expert asked in a low voice.

"No! Impossible! According to calculations based on the nuclear explosion center, the nuclear explosion location was 100-300 meters above the Earth's surface, while the wormhole is high in the sky."

Judging from the combat mission, the first priority of Chang Kong's mission is the other side of the wormhole, and the second priority is the alien civilization's forward base on the ground.

From this priority perspective, it is impossible for Changkong to be directly evaporated by the high temperature and high pressure environment at the center of a nuclear explosion.

Where is that vast sky?

That's what the experts said. Almost all the experts looked at the wormhole in the sky, and a strange idea popped into their minds: Could it be that Chang Kong flew into the other side of the wormhole?

Theoretically speaking, if extraterrestrial civilizations can reach Earth through wormholes, then Earth spacecraft can also reach alien planets through wormholes.

So the question is, what is the other planet like? Does it meet the conditions for human survival? Does it meet the working environment of the Flying Shark engine? If it doesn't meet the engine's working environment, Chang Kong will probably crash the moment he arrives at the other planet due to engine failure, and then the chance of survival will be infinitely close to zero.

"Yes," one of the experts said, looking at the others and indicating whether or not to declare Changkong dead.

"No! Wait a little longer!"

The team leader shook his head. No, at least not yet, it couldn't be determined that Liu Jun was dead. Day Eight. Search yielded no results.
Day 9. Search yielded no results.
Day 10.
Based on the critical 48-hour window, Liu Jun's death is almost a certainty.

Hollow inside, the enormous ginkgo leaf makes its final search at a height that doesn't belong to it.

This was an operation that Eagles fought for. From a risk perspective, Ginkgo Leaf is not suitable for mid-altitude flight, but as a sixth-generation fighter, the avionics on Ginkgo Leaf are more advanced.

The EODAS system scanned the terrain around Sydney inch by inch, while inside the cockpit, Eagle wore a gloomy expression.

"That kid..."

The skinny man breathed a sigh of relief. They, the veteran pilots, truly felt sorry for Chang Kong, who might have been killed in action. Such a promising young man had gone missing, even though he wasn't the first pilot from Dongda University to die on the battlefield.

"Eagle, that's enough, don't be angry, the person is gone."

Ever since Liu Jun disappeared, Skinny felt that Eagle was acting strangely, probably because he felt the same way as him, that he was sorry for that young man!
"That kid! I've told him so many times not to take risks, that luck won't always be on his side!"

Ever since they learned of his disappearance, their already quiet and reserved daughter has become even more silent, and her gloomy demeanor makes the people working there feel somewhat uncomfortable.

As a man of few words, Lao Ying didn't know how to comfort Song Xizhu, even though she knew that sacrifice was inevitable on the battlefield and no one knew when death would come!
Even the best of the best is no exception.
"Alright, after we finish the last patrol, we'll head back," the eagle said through gritted teeth.

"clear."

Eagle nodded, glanced at the contents of the pod, and after confirming everything was in order, pulled the stick without the aid of the split-type drag rudder, making a small-radius horizontal turn, just like a car turning on a road.

It turned very smoothly to the other side, and then continued to scan the ground and adjust using the EODAS system.

Meanwhile, in a residential area in a city near Dongda University.

He Xiaoxi walked slowly forward, glanced at the address on her phone to make sure she was correct, then looked at the high-rise building in front of her, walked to the access control system, and gently pressed the button.

As the doorbell rang, an old woman's voice came through shortly after: "Is that Xiao Xi?"

“It’s my aunt,” He Xiaoxi said calmly, realizing she couldn’t force a smile.

"Hey?"

Aunt Liu was a little puzzled by He Xiaoxi's voice, but she still opened the building door.

The moment He Xiaoxi entered the stairwell, thinking about what was about to happen made her steps feel unusually heavy.

How was she supposed to tell Liu Jun's mother the news of Liu Jun's sacrifice, and tell her that her son would never come back?
One step, two steps, three steps. He Xiaoxi walked to Liu Jun's doorstep and saw Liu's mother looking at her with a smile on her face as if she were looking at her daughter-in-law.

"You're here. What's up?"
