Changkong Fighter

Chapter 330 Time Dilation
In the end what happened?
After giving the identification code, Liu Jun watched as he was locked onto by air-to-air missiles, sea-to-air missiles, and even the fire control radar of surface-to-air missiles.

I checked the transponder and there was nothing wrong with it, so why was I locked onto by friendly forces?
The moment the data link connected with the Eagle, Liu Jun noticed the anomaly.

"time?"

Looking at the time inside the machine and the time in the data link, there was a difference of more than 200 hours!

Are the times out of sync?

Is there something wrong with my fighter jet? No, I've been sitting in the jet the whole time, so there's no way something could have happened, and the time in the data link couldn't have been wrong either!
Based on the difference in the two times, there is only one conclusion—that the time has changed.

"Einstein's theory of relativity?"

"Time dilation?"

When Liu Jun's J-15T and J-36 data links were connected and synchronized to the rear command center, the command center also discovered an anomaly: the two times were different!
"Report to the commander: We've ruled out the possibility that Chang Kong was captured and betrayed by an alien civilization. It's likely that a time dilation effect occurred while traversing the wormhole, causing time to differ on either side of the portal!"

After calculating the time, the experts concluded: "Based on the situation in Chang Kong, it is likely that the time on both sides is different, and the emergency food and water in aircraft 189 could not support Chang Kong's survival for 10 days."

We must adhere to objective facts. Given that Chang Kong did not have time to betray us, this is the only reasonable explanation. The fact that he was able to control the fighter jet to fly back means that the atmosphere on that other planet must have oxygen, and the gravity coefficient would not be much different from that on Earth.

Finally, the beam of light from the nuclear explosion indicates that Chang Kong has completed his mission, launched a nuclear missile at the building on the other side, and successfully destroyed the wormhole generator on the opposite side!

Commanders were very interested in Liu Jun's fighter jet, while experts were even more curious about what data Chang Kong recorded while flying over another planet!
"Time has actually changed!"

The experts were somewhat excited. First, nothing went wrong in the airspace. Second, time dilation had occurred, and the J-15T had passed through a wormhole. During the passage through the wormhole, the onboard sensors recorded all the data!

If these data are studied carefully, they would be a very great thing for humanity!

However, before that, Liu Jun needs to be able to fly his plane back.

"Have the eagles refuel the plane in mid-air immediately and fly it back!"

"Eagle, I understand!"

Upon receiving orders from command, Eagle piloted the J36 to descend and approach the sky.

"What? What exactly happened?"

When approaching Liu Jun's fighter jet, the EODAS system clearly showed the aircraft's skin covered in scratches!

The engine's vectoring nozzles were severely damaged, the horizontal stabilizer was cracked, and a small section of the yaw was missing from one side, with some of the skin even peeling off, exposing the internal structure.
Just by looking at the plane's condition, the skinny guy had already sentenced the Flying Shark to death!
Even if it manages to fly back successfully, it's unlikely that it will ever be seen in the air again. The wing spars on its back will inevitably be severely damaged, and the metal of the fuselage will suffer from fatigue. Given the increased risk factor, it would be more costly to build a new one rather than repair it.

It will probably need to be sent to experts for a thorough study. After all, judging from its entry and exit from Changkong, this fighter jet has also gone to another world. Moreover, it is the first human spacecraft to fly into another habitable planet, which has historical value.

In this process, will the organism bring back substances from that planet? This would be of great research value.

After the research, this fighter jet, which was making its first trip to another world, will have its key components disassembled and then sent to the largest aerospace museum at Tokyo University, in the most prominent position! Thinking about the future of this fighter jet, it's safe to say it has a very promising future!

After the skinny man pondered for a moment, J36 opened its massive pod and dropped something resembling a loitering munition.

This is also a disposable unmanned refueling aircraft that the Liaoning aircraft carrier has prepared in advance for potential search and rescue operations.

It was thanks to the experts' ingenious contingency plans that the aircraft was able to be refueled in mid-air under these circumstances.

Deploying aerial refueling drones

The drone detached from its pylon inside the bomb bay and fell several hundred meters before unfurling its massive wings, looking like a bloated fat man. It carried enough fuel to fill its fuel tanks.

After the wings spread to provide lift, the drone flew forward in a straight line, and then the refueling hose was lowered.

【The sky is vast!】

【clear! 】

Without needing to say much, Liu Jun knew what to do as soon as he saw the fuel dispenser release the fuel line.

As Liu Jun maneuvered his fighter jet closer to the drone flying directly overhead, he immediately sensed that the J-15T beneath him was extremely heavy, as if he were manipulating a lump of iron.

Pulling the stick, the aerodynamic surfaces of the Flying Shark changed, and the fuselage skin, due to severe damage, increased drag considerably, giving it a feel of an "airborne gym" from World War II.

Extending the fuel hose and seeing it protrude normally from the left side, Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there was no problem here.

The helmet display showed a low fuel warning. His fighter jet could only fly for less than 3 minutes, meaning he had to refuel in the air within those 3 minutes!
With his left hand on the throttle and his right hand on the joystick, he adjusted the position little by little. Fortunately, the drone was flying forward at a constant speed. Even though the handling of the flying shark was a bit off, it still managed to get closer and closer to the fuel line thanks to its excellent handling.

Low on fuel.

The AI ​​assistant's voice sounded in the helmet. Liu Jun glanced at the fuel countdown timer; there was one minute left, and the hose was already right in front of him.

*Tap.* The timer inside the helmet is counting down. If we can't connect to the refueling hose within the remaining 50 seconds, unit! The time isn't 50 seconds, it's only 30 seconds, because if the Flying Shark slows down, it will immediately rip off the hose connector!
A little to the right!
A little to the left!
At this moment, everyone in the command center and on J36 was watching Liu Jun's operation with bated breath, fearing that he would be unable to make the connection and fall directly!

[Long flight! If you're not confident, just jump!]

The commander's voice rang in Liu Jun's ears. Although the information was very important, he was the commander and he had to be responsible for Chang Kong's life!
"Reporting to the commander, I believe I can do it!"

Under Liu Jun's control, the fuel hose was inserted into the funnel-shaped hose connector, and with a click, the fuel hose was connected!

The next second, the sensors detected that after the receiver aircraft docked, a large amount of high-quality aviation fuel was poured into the J15T's internal fuel tank through the hose.
