Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

July 1986, Sam, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

"What results have you obtained from the analysis?"

Dr. Cassie Mack, an aerodynamics expert, frowned and looked at the professor who had just asked the question, saying:
"Based solely on this photo, we can only discern the design, but we have no way of analyzing the specific materials used."

"Based on their speed, and having tested it in our wind tunnel lab, it's simply impossible to achieve that level of performance, regardless of the material used."

"The other side's aircraft is indeed terrifying. We don't know what materials it is made of, what its exact weight is, and most importantly, how they solved the noise problem inside the cabin?"

The photos that Cassie and her team were studying were none other than photos of Mach 5 fighter jets within the territory of Yunlan City.

They analyzed this photo for a long time, but came to no conclusion.

Sonic boom issues, cabin noise issues, aircraft engine issues, etc., are all very core technologies.

As it turned out, they knew nothing about it.

"Any news yet about the agents dispatched to Yunlan City?"

The professor left the lab and called the head of the security bureau to inquire about the follow-up.

In the professor's view, getting a fighter jet would be the best outcome.

If we can't get it, that's okay. If we can get fighter jet-related parts, internal photos, or technical data, that's fine too.

"no!"

The professor was speechless upon hearing the Security Bureau's response.

The professor then called the FBI, but the result was the same; he did not receive any relevant documents or parts.

A towering building rises from the ground; research can only be done by themselves.

The aircraft displayed by Yunlan City, whether fighter jets, anti-tank aircraft, or transport planes, all have extraordinary flight speeds.

As for the technology of the aircraft engine, Dr. Cassie and his team had already guessed it: it was either a subsonic ramjet engine or a scramjet engine.

In addition to these, there are rotary detonation engines, etc.

Once they can see the external design of the engine, they can basically determine what kind of engine it is.

But even if you know what kind of engine it is, it's completely useless.

Because there are still many core technical issues that have not been resolved.

Just as Sam was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a military base in the Arctic Ocean where the polar bear was located was suddenly attacked.

Before the alarms even sounded, the entire base was quickly reduced to rubble amidst a series of deafening explosions.

The ground collapsed in an instant, and then a small mushroom cloud rose up suddenly.

The mushroom cloud was not produced by gas from an explosion, but by dust.

The shockwave was not significant because the entire explosion was detonated underground, so the shockwave was contained by the soil.

Moscow, KGB headquarters building.

The staff in the third-floor office had received the relevant information, but they did not know the specific cause of the explosion.

Then the entire military base lost all contact.

The KGB chief's face was ashen.

He remembered the stern warning that Yunlan City had sent a few days ago.

Today is the deadline, but they in Moscow are completely ignoring it and have shown no intention of apologizing.

As a result, the military base was immediately destroyed.

That's just thuggery.

The desire for revenge is unusually strong.

"Immediately, right now, I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

In the Kremlin, Gorbachev, sitting in that position, learned of this from the KGB chief.

He immediately became extremely angry, slammed his fist on the table, glared, and issued an order.

The requirement is for MiG fighter jets in North Africa and the Middle East to take off quickly and teach Yunlan City a profound lesson.

Project Nightingale!!!

As the name suggests, this time Moscow is planning a night raid.

We launched a surprise attack while everyone was asleep.

Yunlan City probably had no idea that their Moscow counterattack would be so swift and fierce.

Just as Gorbachev was giving the order, he didn't notice the light on his desk at all.

This is a very ordinary light bulb. It was indeed inspected multiple times before being placed in, but all of these inspections were evaded.

However, at this moment, the light faithfully recorded the orders issued by Gorbachev and his conversations with the KGB chief.

Both of their words are converted into light signals, which are then transmitted in a specific way.

In an ordinary house three kilometers outside the Kremlin, there is a signal receiving device next to the window.

All the electric lights from the Kremlin emit light signals, which are then received by several separate devices.

The receiving device inside this house was primarily used to receive optical signals from Gorbachev's office.

Once the light signal is received, there will be special equipment nearby that converts the light signal into sound, which can then be translated into Chinese.

Upon learning that Moscow had immediately launched a bombing attack on Yunlan City, the interpreter's expression changed drastically, and he immediately handed the translation to the person in charge next to him.

"Report this immediately; we need to get our superiors ready now!"

Yunlan City, the headquarters building where the Black Cross forces are located.

The message from Moscow darkened the face of the Black Cross commander, who immediately instructed relevant officials to closely monitor the movements of several neighboring countries.

As is widely known, Yunlan City is located in what used to be Somalia.

To be precise, this land area of ​​just over one million square kilometers includes not only the original Somali region but also parts of Ethiopia covering 400,000 square kilometers.

Despite its vast size, the region currently has a total population of less than 20 million, so even if attacked, there's nothing to fear.

But no one wanted to see the shells fall within the territory of Yunlan City.

Since this place was renamed Yunlan City, not a single enemy shell has landed.

If such a thing really happens, then the head of the Black Cross forces will definitely have to be replaced.

After all, Zhao Mancang wouldn't let them off so easily.

As soon as the order was given by the Black Cross commander, several planes took off immediately from the air force base dozens of kilometers away.

Five early warning aircraft followed closely behind, taking off from other base airports.

All fighter jets, early warning aircraft, combat aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, etc., are always ready for combat, regardless of the time.

Sure enough, as soon as the order was given, the planes left the warehouse, arrived at the takeoff waiting area, and lined up to take off.

Early warning aircraft have existed for many years, and their role is to detect, monitor, and identify targets at long distances in real time.

By using airborne radar systems, the Earth's curvature can be overcome, enabling the detection of air, sea, and ground targets over a range of thousands of kilometers.

For example, enemy aircraft, missiles, and ships. Another method involves using data processing systems to analyze reflected electromagnetic waves, quickly obtaining information such as target location, distance, and speed, and using identification friend or foe (IFF) systems to avoid misjudgment.

Therefore, once the early warning aircraft takes off, it can detect any invading enemy at any time.

Moreover, Yunlan City's satellites are also operating in real time in space, monitoring the target.

In a scenic seaside villa in Yunlan City, Zhao Mancang was already getting ready for bed when he received a call from the person in charge.

Suddenly, all sleepiness vanished.

"Are you sure Moscow wants to do this?"

After leaving the bedroom and entering the study, Zhao Mancang's face immediately darkened.

He wouldn't underestimate this former rival.

Years ago, he almost got buried deep in the Siberian primeval forest.

In short, his animosity towards Moscow has a long history.

This time, Moscow provoked him again and rejected his proposal, so Yunlan City was forced to retaliate.

Zhao Mancang had long ago said that such a thing should not be allowed to happen in Yunlan City.

As it turned out, KGB agents did show up, and not only were they armed, they also drove their cars into people.

That's really going too far; they completely ignored what Zhao Mancang said.

Zhao Mancang, naturally unwilling to swallow his anger, retaliated on the spot.

"Yes, sir. We have now detected an aircraft more than a thousand kilometers away via our early warning aircraft, which is flying towards our location."

"Based on information from the early warning aircraft and real-time satellite video footage, it can be determined that these are MiG fighter jets, not civilian airliners."

All commercial passenger planes that want to pass through Yunlan City need to be registered.

Without prior notification, it would be impossible to pass through the airspace above Yunlan City.

Although Yunlan City will not directly launch a missile to shoot down the passenger plane, it will definitely send fighter jets to 'hijack' the passenger plane to Yunlan City.

If you don't pay the fine, you can forget about leaving.

Therefore, all commercial airliners follow this international practice and pay a fee to the local civil aviation authority.

This is all international practice, there's nothing more to say about it.

However, unidentified flying objects such as fighter jets are a different story.

"good, very good!"

Zhao Mancang sneered repeatedly, saying:
"Since they want to be tortured, then so be it."

No matter what, all the fighter jets and other planes that flew to Yunlan City this time will definitely not be able to return.

One missile is enough to send the enemy away.

"Mancang, what's wrong?"

Just as Zhao Mancang walked out of the study, Lin Wan and Liu Baochan looked at him with concern.

"I'm fine, there was just a little trouble at the company, but it's been dealt with."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"You guys go to sleep first. I'll keep an eye on things for a while longer. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll go to sleep later."

It's virtually impossible for Moscow to disrupt his biological clock.

He had just given orders to the Black Cross forces, requiring only that those aircraft appear within 20 kilometers of Yunlan City's airspace.

We will drive them away immediately. If they still ignore us or even provoke us, we will launch missiles directly.

At the same time, live television news broadcasts were launched, allowing television stations to report on the event in real time.

Zhao Mancang was not worried that anything unexpected would happen in Yunlan City after the live television broadcast.

If that's the case, then the entire Black Cross force, from top to bottom, will be punished.

In Niudongping Village, Zhu Qinmei, who was still wide awake, had become pregnant again.

She's in front of the TV right now, watching it with great interest.

Beside her, her son Zhou Yuanchuan was already fast asleep.

As for her husband, Zhou Xiaoqing, he is currently working in the Saudi Empire and has not returned.

"it's over?"

After watching a movie, Zhu Qinmei was momentarily stunned, then picked up the remote and started switching to other channels.

It's 10:50 p.m. and she's still not sleepy.

There aren't many television stations within Yunlan City. The one we just saw was a movie station, and it was still advertising.

Just then, the TV station she randomly switched to was broadcasting live.

On the television screen, a deafening roar erupted as a firework suddenly exploded in mid-air.

Even though the TV volume was already turned very low, the sudden explosion still startled Zhu Qinmei.

She quickly looked at her eldest son next to her, only to find the little guy fast asleep and completely undisturbed.

Zhu Qinmei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the television again, only to find that the image had changed once more.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that enemy aircraft wanted to attack Yunlan City, but this conspiracy was thwarted.

"Yunlan City's military strength is just too strong, isn't it?"

"According to the news reports, the enemy that attacked this time had a total of more than 30 MiG series fighter jets, of which five have been shot down, and the remaining fighter jets have turned around and left."

"Is it that amazing?"

Zhu Qinmei was unaware that she was witnessing history.

Who told her she was just an ordinary resident?
They lacked knowledge of military information, even though they had a computer at home, the internet in Yunlan City was not yet updated with that much information.

If ordinary people want to obtain information, they definitely need to take the initiative to find it themselves.

Yunlan City TV will broadcast relevant information, but not everyone will be able to receive this information.

Just as Zhu Qinmei was watching the live news broadcast, many other people throughout Yunlan City also saw the news.

Of course, many more people were already fast asleep and completely unaware of this.

However, inside a relatively luxurious villa in Yunlan City, someone was also staring intently at the television, because he was an agent from Sam.

The agent had no idea that Yunlan City was so arrogant and conceited that it would start a live television broadcast before the battle even began. It was too arrogant.

But judging from the current situation, Moscow dropped five fireworks and then disappeared.

It seems that Yunlan City is still more powerful.

Moscow's plot to launch a surprise attack has been uncovered by Yunlan City.

They also shot down five of their MiG fighter jets, inflicting heavy losses. (End of Chapter)
