Chapter 113 Unbridled Enemy Planes

Go explore the East China Sea; if anything crosses the line, shoot it down...

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling watched Wang Xingguo leave, exchanged a glance, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

"Why is Uncle Wang talking like a riddle now?"

Xu Qingling thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so she asked curiously, "What could possibly cross the line?"

"It might be inconvenient to go into too much detail, or they might not want us to be too nervous."

Lin Dong frowned and thought for a moment.

There was a possibility that something might cross the border in the East China Sea, and his first thought was that enemy aircraft might cross the border.

Because of that black president's announcement of the return to the Asia-Pacific, several aircraft carriers from all over the world began to be deployed to the Pacific, and in addition, the USS Washington was permanently stationed at the small naval port.

In recent years, enemy aircraft have frequently been seen patrolling in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

Sometimes, after these enemy aircraft have been probing and patrolling for a while, they can't help but cross the coastline to provoke us.

but.

Although enemy aircraft are frequently seen patrolling, they don't come every day. It doesn't make sense that they would happen to run into them today during their test flight of the Hot Air.

So...we've been exposed?

At this moment, Lin Dong looked up at the sky outside the window, where a thick layer of clouds had appeared, making it seem like it was about to rain. He recalled the condensation clouds that had appeared high in the sky when they took off, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

He knew that the condensation clouds left behind by aircraft would reveal their flight path, location, and speed.

However, he usually pays attention to this detail, except for that emergency takeoff during the outing to Longpanshan.

At other times, he would check the real-time weather warnings to avoid leaking performance parameters due to condensation clouds on the fighter jet caused by changes in atmospheric humidity.

When the Hot Air took off today, he went to the lab to check the antenna and took a look, but since the meteorological department didn't give any warnings, he was reassured and ignored it.

However, condensation clouds appeared in the sky during takeoff.

So it is clear that during the few tens of minutes he was checking the antenna, the weather changed suddenly or the weather service's broadcast was delayed, which led to the exposure of Hot Hot's takeoff.

"Never mind."

"Since Godfather has said so, we'll find out by going to the East China Sea."

Lin Dong thought for a while, but he couldn't be sure if his guess was right. He cheered, pulled the control lever, and then pushed the throttle lever all the way down.

boom--

The simulated engine of Lin Dong's hand started up.

The aerial footage displayed on the 200-inch screen instantly became a blurry blur due to the high-speed movement and loss of focus.

The real-time simulation of the Hot Air's flight attitude on the right shows that it has changed from a level flight attitude to a pitching attitude.

Speeds of Mach 0.5, Mach 1.3, Mach 1.9, Mach 2.4, Mach 2.8...

The barriers of sound and heat seem to have no effect on the brand-new Hot Hot.

In just a short while, the Hot Hot Cruise, which had been leisurely taking aerial photos of the Three Gorges, suddenly accelerated to Mach 2.8 and then broke through the Mach 3 barrier.

Di-

Without Lin Dong's intervention, the engine automatically switched to pre-cooling mode.

The air intake temperature displayed on the screen suddenly dropped from over a thousand degrees Celsius to tens of degrees Celsius.

The speeder, which had just slowed down a bit, suddenly surged again, reaching Mach 4 in the blink of an eye, followed by Mach 4.4, Mach 4.8, and finally stabilizing at Mach 5.

"Alright, cruising at Mach 5, we'll be in the East China Sea in about 13 minutes. Let's wait patiently."

Lin Dong controlled the Hot Aircraft to fly to an altitude of 35,000 meters, set the automatic cruise mode, stretched, and waited for the fighter jet to reach its destination.

The naval port where the aircraft carrier is docked is more than a thousand kilometers away from the East China Sea.

Modern carrier-based aircraft generally have speeds below Mach 2.

If they were indeed exposed during takeoff, and enemy aircraft were to cross the line to intercept them, they would most likely arrive later than them.

Upon arriving at the East China Sea, barring unforeseen circumstances, they would still have to wait for some time.

"Uh-huh."

Xu Qingling nodded, and as if she had seen something, she pointed to the rear camera image displayed on the screen and said with some surprise.

"Lin Dong, why is the sun moving so fast as it sets?"

"The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, so the sun sets earlier in the east. When we fly eastward at high speed, the sun appears to set faster."

Lin Dong glanced at the image Xu Qingling was pointing to and said with a smile, "It's like the plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Li Xiaoyao rode the Xuan Bird and flew westward, but the sun never set. It's essentially the same principle, except that we're doing it the other way around now."

"I forgot the Earth rotates!"

Xu Qingling shook her head shyly, then smiled and gestured with her hands, saying, "But our Hot Spicy Number should be even faster than the Black Bird on TV."

They can only chase the sun westward without it setting, which is about a thousand kilometers per hour, similar to the Earth's rotation speed.

Our "Hot Shot" cruises at over 6,000 kilometers per hour, so it can chase the sun eastward, and if it gets dark, the sun will rise in the west with a whoosh.

"Then I'll try it when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes lit up with interest.

The two chatted for a while, and soon the Hot Spicy Ship arrived at the East China Sea. It began to reduce its speed to eliminate the infrared signal caused by the heat barrier, and at the same time, it circled high in the sky along the coastline according to the instructions set by Lin Dong.

Xu Qingling also took this opportunity to run over to the assembly workshop next door, which was owned by Xu Ziming, and brought back two bottles of cola and potato chips.

"How come there's Coca-Cola in Uncle Xu's workshop?"

Lin Dong looked at the Coke that Xu Qingling brought over, and it was even ice-cold, and asked in surprise, "I've never seen Coke in your house before."

"The goods he secretly keeps are things he doesn't usually keep at home."

Xu Qingling pouted and said, "Because at home I would finish his Coke first, and he was worried that drinking too many carbonated drinks would be bad for my health and teeth, so he didn't buy any for the family."

But he still wanted to drink it, so he would buy some and keep it in his office or other places where he worked. During this time, he helped pack this hot cola, and that's when I noticed these colas.

"..."

Lin Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Impressive, Xu, you have a keen eye for detail."

Beep!Beep!Beep!

Suddenly, before Lin Dong could unscrew Xu Ziming's supply of cola and savor the joy of the carbonated beverage, a glaring warning popped up on the 200-inch screen.

Two clearly high-speed objects were detected by the Hot Air's optical detection system.

"Holy crap, they're really here?!"

Lin Dong opened his eyes wide and quickly entered two lines of command code.

After a three-second wait, two blurry images were enlarged and popped up.

Although it is difficult to focus at high speed at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters.

In addition, the camera module used by Hot Hot is not as powerful as the custom-made 9-megapixel telephoto lens of the Camera No. 9, so the whole image appears very blurry.

However, through the general outline, Lin Dong was still able to accurately identify the two aircraft.

One is an F-35C Lightning stealth carrier-based fighter jet, and the other is an E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft with a large saucer-shaped roof.

"They haven't crossed the line yet, we can't shoot..."

Lin Dong glanced at the map and realized that he was still within the domestic waters, while the other side was still lingering on the periphery and had not yet flown in.

"Call someone first and report the situation."

Lin Dong glanced longingly at the two fighter jets, then took out his phone and dialed Wang Xingguo's number.

Although he had already guessed that Wang Xingguo had just asked him to shoot down those two things.

But now, the other side refuses to cross the line, and he doesn't know what to do. He can't just go out into international waters and provoke them to shoot them down.

"You didn't cross the line? Wait, I'm coming right now!"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xingguo told Lin Dong that he wasn't too surprised to have spotted enemy aircraft, but he was slightly surprised to hear that the other side hadn't crossed the line. He then hung up the phone.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

After hanging up the phone and waiting a while, Wang Xingguo, Lin Weiliang, and Xu Ziming pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

Wang Xingguo shouted and rushed to the big screen, carefully looking at the two red moving dots that had been marked and were hovering on the periphery.

"They really didn't come in? That doesn't make sense. Weren't they trying to catch Hot Number? What could they be doing from so far away if they didn't come in?" Wang Xingguo couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Dong, is this 'Hot Number' a stealth design?" At this moment, Xu Ziming seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Dong.

"Yes, the coating hasn't been applied yet, but the fuselage structure is designed to be invisible." Lin Dong nodded.

"No wonder. Early warning aircraft are already blind to half of their high-altitude vision, and the Hot Hot is so small and has a stealth design, it's completely blind."

Wang Xingguo suddenly realized, "We haven't seen a single trace of it. We're not sure if there are fighter jets test-flying, so naturally we don't dare to come in casually. After all, this Hawkeye early warning aircraft is practically crippled; if it comes in and gets stopped, it won't be able to get out."

The shape of the airframe of an early warning aircraft dictates that it cannot fly at supersonic speeds.

The E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft has a top speed of only 680 kilometers per hour and a service ceiling of just over 10,000 meters.

Rushing in blindly without defining the mission objective could easily lead to being stopped.

"Then I'll give them a signal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong did not hesitate and controlled the Hot Spicy to fly to the inner coastline, about 100 kilometers from the land.

It then descended to an altitude of 20,000 meters and reduced its speed to Mach 2.6.

Then, controlling the engine nozzles that were constantly emitting strong infrared signals, it quickly drifted towards the direction of the Hawkeye early warning aircraft.

boom--

Having completed these steps, Lin Dong immediately controlled the drone to change its angle, using its body to block the engine nozzle again, then accelerated and pulled up to begin searching for the other party's tracks.

"Holy crap! They actually got in!"

Lin Dong searched carefully for several minutes and finally found the other party's trace 30 kilometers inland from the coastline.

Two enemy planes, led by Hawkeye and escorted by Lightning, flew at high speed directly toward the location where the Hot Hot infrared signal had just been detected.

The entire flight path was executed without the slightest hesitation or attempt at concealment.

"This route is fucking daring!"

Lin Dong's eyes widened suddenly. At this moment, he truly understood what it meant to be unscrupulous and reckless.

Clearly, at this point in 2012, no large warships had been launched in China, and the J-20 was still suffering from a serious heart condition.

Although the Black president is constantly pushing forward with the "pivot to Asia" strategy, he is paying increasing attention to domestic affairs.

But without sufficient naval and air power, they didn't really take their homeland seriously.

"They won't go too deep. They'll definitely turn back before ground fighters can intercept them. As long as they get out of the coastline before we stop them, they won't admit to this!"

When Wang Xingguo saw the two enemy planes that had come in so openly and without any pretense or concealment, he was so excited and angry that he trembled and roared with slightly red eyes.

"They've always been like this! They've been like this for over twenty years! They come in, they go out! And they never admit it!"

"The only incident we have to acknowledge is 81192 in 2001, where our pilots intercepted their fighter jets with their lives..."

"Take it down! Xiao Dong, take it down!"
