Chapter 356 Real Technology

With a whoosh, the special weapon mounted on the J-50's belly detached from its pylon, the rocket engine ignited, and propelled by the new solid rocket engine, the missile flew straight toward its locked target—the massive energy core.

The missile's integrated guidance head focused on the heat source of the energy facility and flew directly toward the signal source emitting heat. After approaching the heat source, the internal AI began to control the missile to deviate from its trajectory and fly to one side. The armor-piercing warhead inside slammed through the passage wall and embedded itself inside.

Then the device inside the missile is activated, and the reliable mechanical fuse begins its countdown.
After launching the missile, Liu Jun immediately changed his launch envelope and flew towards the other side of the passage.

After darting into the tunnel, two pulsed laser beams shot towards them. In the confined space, the J-50, relying on its fully movable wingtips, nimbly rolled, allowing the incoming lasers to graz the fuselage. Liu Jun only gave them one chance to fire. When they tried to fire a second time, the electromagnetic cannon fired several rounds, destroying the turrets on the wall.

The J50 flew over the exploding turret, sending countless crystal-like materials flying everywhere, crackling and hitting the cave walls. As it rolled, Liu Jun noticed a line emitting heat radiation in the EODAS system's field of vision in the passage below, which looked like the output end of an energy facility.

Energy is of paramount importance to every civilization, and the units that transmit energy through pipelines are often vital facilities within a civilization.

Flying outwards through the passage, my gaze swept across the countdown timer in my helmet.

After a special weapon is launched, there will be a countdown timer for the missile's detonation. When the countdown reaches zero, the heavy weapon it carries will detonate.

With one minute left on the countdown, a distance estimate showed that he had already flown at least several kilometers within the passageway. However, according to his superiors, the missile's power was immense! Extremely powerful!

Looking at the technicians' serious expressions, Liu Jun suddenly felt like he was launching a nuclear artillery shell with a range of 2KM and a kill radius of 3KM. However, the technicians from Dongda University would not create such an outrageous thing.

With a whoosh, Liu Jun felt the passage ahead getting narrower and narrower, and the space for the J50 to maneuver also decreased. Without tightening the throttle, he stared intently at the increasingly narrow passage ahead, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, while the air conditioning system in the cockpit did not make him feel cool.

Slightly to the left or right. Air and water are both fluids, and the airplane is swaying in the air, just like a ship is swaying slightly in the water.

The J50's wingtip was less than 2 meters from the tunnel wall. With his right hand gripping the control stick, his body was not tense, but rather relaxed as if in daily training. At times like this, the more tense you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Instead, you can perform better when you are relaxed.

Meanwhile, at the alien energy center behind Liu Jun, the countdown timer for the launched weapon gradually reached zero, ending in the final 3 seconds thanks to the sophisticated mechanical countdown device.

boom!
The external metallic hydrogen explosive is activated, the shaped charge is activated inward, and the internal nuclear charge is activated along with it. Under the chain reaction, the charge explodes. At the very inside of this special weapon is a special "crystal". This crystal is a recycled material from an alien civilization and is the most likely of all alien materials to produce a special reaction with a nuclear charge.

At a mass-energy conversion reaction far exceeding that of fusion reactions, mass is transformed into energy, releasing all the internal energy in a manner similar to "bombing the Earth with a bench."

The released energy came into contact with the energy core, destroying the external restraints and releasing the massive amount of energy that had been confined within. This energy instantly devoured the surrounding matter and rapidly spread outwards.

Faced with the raging energy, everything was torn apart. The energy transmission pipes, due to imbalance, began to explode inch by inch, chasing after Liu Jun. Inside the tunnel, the J50 flew outward at supersonic speed. Just then, the EODAS system suddenly sounded an alarm, and a Type 2 aircraft was seen chasing after them from behind.

So close?
At this point, being bitten at six o'clock was completely helpless. Due to the limited space, the only way to escape the opponent's pursuit was through speed.

Liu Jun observed that the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters, and the distance was still closing. He immediately deployed defensive chaff and flares to the rear to avoid being burned by the lasers launched by Type 2.

Pushing the throttle valve, the J50 entered afterburner mode, further increasing its speed. Looking at the speedometer, a shock wave erupted the instant it exceeded the speed of sound, and that was exactly what Liu Jun had been waiting for.

In the narrow passage, supersonic flight would affect the cave walls. With a loud bang, the crystal structure next to it vibrated. At the same time, the launch angle of the small-diameter missile was adjusted. Under the EODAS system, the vertical launch system's seeker head looked back.

Pressing the launch button, the missile shot out of the vertical launch system and flew backward, crashing into the cave wall with a loud bang. The cave wall, impacted by the shockwave, shattered with a crack and collapsed downwards.

Type 2 pursuers were caught off guard by Liu Jun's unexpected maneuver. They were almost completely covered by the collapsing crystals. The J50 engine emitted a tail flame with Mach rings, propelling the aircraft forward rapidly. As they entered the end of the tunnel, a vertical shaft cascading upwards appeared before them.

Just as Liu Jun was about to stop the oil spill, suddenly in the EODAS field of view, the collapsed tunnel behind him was absorbed by a huge plasma that emitted light and heat, and the EODAS system's camera went into protection mode the instant it saw the huge thermal infrared reaction sphere.

Without even thinking about what the sphere behind him was, he pushed the throttle valve in his left hand all the way down, completely disregarding fuel consumption, and flew straight toward the passage ahead.

As we get closer to the corner and the exploding sphere behind us draws ever closer, it's time to show our true skills!

Without reducing throttle, the J50 needs to turn in the tunnel, and the speed determines the turning radius, unless the angle of attack limit is lifted!

By forcibly removing the restriction through the hands-on stick control system, the flight computer no longer limits Liu Jun's stick movements.

As the bend in the road seemed to appear out of nowhere and hurtle towards me, I pulled the lever!
The all-moving wingtip bent instantly, and this maneuver made Liu Jun feel overload for the first time, an overload that was almost unbearable for him.

Maximum overload

Maximum overload

In an instant, the whole world went dark, and the AI ​​girl's voice quickly faded away. The J50's belly was almost touching the cave wall, and it was about to lose control due to friction in the next second. At this moment, the vector engine at the tail adjusted itself, and in that instant, the J50, which was about to rub against the cave wall, recovered and flew straight out of the passage.
