Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The stunt pilot, who was preparing on the side, slowly walked towards the prototype aircraft while holding a golden helmet. The ground crew assisted the pilot into the cockpit and first carefully checked the cockpit to see if there were any fixed objects inside.

Question: How to cure low blood pressure in ground staff?

A: While he was preparing, I stole a screwdriver from his toolbox...

After the ground crew and pilot repeatedly confirmed that there were no foreign objects in the cockpit, the ground crew left the fighter jet, a warning sounded in the hangar, the yellow indicator light on the door flashed, and the door opened to both sides.

Once the hangar doors were fully open, the prototype aircraft, equipped with a drive motor, slowly drove out of the hangar, propelled by its front landing gear.

Now, fighter jets with front landing gear and drive motors have become standard equipment for Chinese fighter jets. The advantage of the fighter jets being able to move on their own is too great. There are times when towing vehicles cannot be used. Although this will increase some costs, the wealthy and powerful China does not care.

The J-20 variant fighter jet slowly drove out of the hangar at a speed of 10 km/h and headed towards the 3 km long, high-standard runway along the road in front of the hangar.

On one side of the control tower, Air Force and Navy leaders were observing the VF-J20 as it drove out of the hangar through binoculars.

"Transforming fighter jets remind me of an animated film I watched when I was young..." A middle-aged naval officer sighed, "...I thought it was just a fantasy, but I never expected it to become a reality in our hands."

“Yes, I’ve seen it too. I just hope there aren’t any Zentradi (Zentradians) among them…” another officer said softly.

"Aliens, haven't we already made contact? But the exchange wasn't pleasant..." An Air Force officer observed the VF-J20 slowly making its way to the end of the runway through his binoculars.

"Next time we meet, we'll have to be serious... Alright, let's take a look at today's main character."

At the end of the runway, the VF-J20 was undergoing final checks before takeoff. The pilot first started the left engine of the transforming fighter jet, and after confirming that everything was normal, he started the right engine.

After confirming that the instruments are functioning properly, the pilot pulls down the retinal projection device on the helmet to project onto the retina.

The twin turbofan thermonuclear engines emitted a piercing whistle as their power output steadily increased, while the magnetohydrodynamic power generation mechanism supplied a large amount of electrical energy into the machine's interior.

Pressing the charging button converts electrical energy into electromagnetic pulses, strengthening the VF-J20's frame and increasing its strength.

"Tower, all systems are normal, requesting takeoff..."

"Airspace cleared for takeoff..."

"clear."

After receiving the takeoff order, the pilot pushed the throttle valve to release the brake, and the thrust provided by the engine propelled the aircraft to skid up on the runway. The speed increased, and after the nose landing gear left the ground, there were no amazing maneuvers. Instead, it took off in a very normal way.

The VF-J20 first performed a simple roll in the air, and after confirming that all systems of the aircraft were functioning normally, it prepared to conduct a transformation test.

Chapter 58 This equipment has a special connection with the army~

"Tower, requesting deformation test...over."

After receiving the order, the control tower first glanced at the radar to confirm that the surrounding airspace was clear, then instructed the personnel responsible for emergency rescue to prepare before approving the test.

"agree."

"understand!"

After the request was approved, the top-level test pilot immediately increased the altitude of the VF-J20.

1500 ...

2000 ...

3000 ...

Upon reaching the designated altitude, VF-J20 prepared to switch between fighter jet and guardian modes. The high-precision optical sensors on the ground locked onto VF-J20.

Meanwhile, a large number of aircraft hovered high above the VF-J20, and the optical sensors below the aircraft locked onto the transforming fighter.

The VF-J20 first prepared for an attitude change. The test pilot recalled how the aircraft changed its form. This process had been performed thousands of times on the ground, and the test pilot had long since developed muscle memory. However, transforming fighter jets are different from ordinary fighter jets. Even if they have been simulated thousands of times, it is still just a simulation.

Of course, as a modern fighter jet, the VF-J20 cannot use the outdated avionics system of the VF1 for attitude transition. First, the flight speed is gradually reduced, and then the test pilot presses the Guardian Mode attitude transition button.

Immediately, the VF-J20's onboard AI began to evaluate the data sent back by sensors throughout the aircraft. Once the deformation was within permissible limits, the aircraft began to deform, and then the superconducting motors inside the aircraft were activated.

Within the high-precision sensors, the J-20's two thrusters extended downwards, as if sprouting two legs, followed by two arms extending from the inner thighs. The entire aircraft transformed into a guardian posture, completing the transformation in 0.8 seconds...

The thrust provided by its two legs allows the J-20 to hover in the air, and its excellent design and flight control system enable it to maintain static balance in the air.

"Control tower, transformation successful..."

"I saw it; they're testing the performance of the Guardian God form."

"clear."

The top-level pilots began testing the aerial maneuvers of the J-20 fighter jet in Guardian mode, because the lift was no longer provided by air but by the "power brick" mode, meaning that thrust was the threshold.

Under the pilot's control, the J-20 can perform maneuvers similar to a helicopter, and even fly backwards...

The air force and navy leaders nodded in satisfaction. Although the transforming fighter jets required highly skilled pilots and were "a little" expensive, there was a reason for the price. They had a stronger battlefield adaptability than ordinary fighter jets and were very useful in special operations.

"Hey! What's going on with you guys? Why didn't you call me for the test?" A round-faced army officer walked into the control tower and said with a sour face.

"Why are you here?" the Air Force leader asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm here on behalf of the former commander."

The naval and air force leaders exchanged glances, then turned their attention back to the VF-J20, which was undergoing testing in its Guardian form.

At this moment, the J-20 is performing low-altitude circling maneuvers at an altitude of 1000 meters, similar to that of an armed helicopter. It has also performed some attack maneuvers and emergency evasion in the face of attacks. This is thanks to the fact that the top-level pilot is not an ordinary pilot and has flown armed helicopters before.

The performance of the Guardian form caught the eye of the army officers. If the J-20 were carrying a cannon pod and rockets at this time, it would have swept the ground several times over. It is said that this aircraft also has an external backpack and a vertical launch system, which means it can carry even more rockets!

For the army, rockets are the most exciting thing.

"Look at this shape, tsk tsk...it looks just like an attack helicopter." The army officer couldn't help but remark. The old commander must really like this equipment. As for the price? The old man doesn't care!

"..."

The Guardian form test passed quickly, and the parameters were quite satisfactory. Next up is the Mech form test.

The upper body of the machine began to transform, changing from the guardian form to the mecha form. A 2mm thick layer of energy armor was added to the outside of the cockpit to provide additional protection. The thermonuclear engine converted all its power into electrical energy, and superconducting power drove the entire machine.

The J20, transformed into a mecha, touches the ground through specially reinforced thrusters on its legs and begins its ground attack. Especially when encountering obstacles, it doesn't need to jump over them; it simply performs a "rocket jump" to leap over them. Although it is not as specialized as some mechas developed specifically for land warfare, it is highly versatile.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The senior army officer nodded repeatedly. It could be used as a helicopter and a mecha, so it seemed to be quite reliable. He couldn't help but think about how it would work with the army aviation helicopters. He felt that the VF-J20 was a bit of a gimmick, but he quickly put that thought aside because the next operation by the top-level pilot made his eyes widen.

After testing the three postures, the next step was to simulate a flexible and varied battlefield. The VF-J20 in mech form walked to a 20-wheeled heavy transport vehicle, took out a three-barreled 23mm rotary cannon from inside the vehicle, and then opened the ammunition compartments built into its legs and body, loading "can" missiles.

It then quickly took off, transforming from mecha form into guardian form, and continued to climb higher and higher into the sky.

Soon, holographic projections rose up in the theater, simulating an air defense position.

After the tower commander confirmed that the exercise was ready, he gave the order to the elite pilot: "You may begin."

Upon receiving the order, the pilot activated the J-20's fire control system and active phased array radar, and began the simulated attack accompanied by a pleasant female voice from AI.

System startup...

The VF-J20 quickly dived towards the ground to evade radar detection. When it was still 500 meters from the ground, it transformed into its Guardian form. Immediately afterwards, the vertical launch system opened, and the canned missiles inside poured out. The omnidirectional advantage of the vertical launch system was perfectly utilized, and the canned missiles hit one air defense position after another.

Without giving the positions a chance to breathe, the VF-J20, in its guardian posture, charged into the air defense positions at treetop height, unleashing its 23mm cannon fire on the surviving anti-aircraft guns, radar vehicles, and missile systems, destroying the most threatening 30mm anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled artillery one by one.

In the simulation, the anti-aircraft machine guns and man-portable air defense systems on the air defense positions were completely ineffective against the VF-J20 with its charged armor, while the airborne high-energy laser weapon "shot down" the soldiers one by one.

After destroying the air defense positions, the VF-J20 quickly transformed into a fighter jet and sped away.

Chapter 59: We've invested in this project!

The VF-J20's performance greatly satisfied those in the control tower. This multi-role "fighter jet," capable of adapting to various combat environments and being rapidly deployed, is very suitable for emergencies.

"Great, so when will this prototype be ready for service?"

"This still needs some improvements, and the three forms of fighter jet place higher demands on the pilots..."

"...Trainees need at least five years of systematic study and 800 hours of simulated flight experience before they can train in a two-seat trainer aircraft..."

The leaders nodded. The more advanced the equipment, the higher the requirements for soldiers, especially on aircraft. Not only are there high requirements for physical fitness, but also for education, flight hours, and knowledge reserves.

The VF-J20 fighter jet's three modes require pilots to master fighter jet/helicopter/ground combat, and to integrate these three modes requires extensive training. Fortunately, the VF-J20 does not require fuel, so air is free, saving a lot of training costs.

Judging from VF's performance, it's clearly a space fighter prepared for China's CNSC.

An army officer clicked his tongue in disapproval. The army aviation should at least equip themselves with some of this kind of good stuff, so they'd have air force units during ground combat, and with such a large payload...

Compared to these officers, Bell and Tio, who were looking at the feedback data in the hangar, frowned.

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio, in Guardian form, the fighter jet's maneuverability is somewhat jerky..."

"Hmm...it's probably because there's no horizontal thrust, and the J-20's swept wings don't generate as much lift as forward-swept wings. If we replaced them with forward-swept wings, the payload could be increased by 33%..."

"...In addition, it would be best to install small thermonuclear engines on the wings. This would make horizontal maneuverability more agile in Guardian form, allowing for effective avoidance of ground fire..."

After discussion, the two cats quickly optimized the aerodynamic shape of the prototype J-20, or rather, directly used the aerodynamic shape of the four-engine heavy fighter. After all, the VF fighter is a manned aircraft, and the pilots are very precious, so it is necessary to improve the safety factor.

The electrical energy provided by the four thermonuclear engines is somewhat excessive. In addition to powering the energy-charged armor, this energy is also directed to the onboard optical weapons. As long as there is power, the laser weapons can fire continuously, which can enhance the machine's continuous combat capability.

Soon, the VF-J20 fighter jet, having completed three configuration tests, slowly descended and came to a stop at the hangar entrance in the form of a guardian deity. Its stable posture indicates that its center of gravity design is excellent.

Looking at the number 81 on the wing, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but feel a little gratified. Let the rabbits handle the alien fights; the eagles can just do the talking.

After the VF-J20 came to a stop, the cockpit canopy opened, and the pilot jumped down from the fuselage. After landing, he took off his helmet, took a few deep breaths, and looked back at the VF-J20. He couldn't help but marvel at the ferocity of the aircraft. The frequent overloads were even a bit too much for his body, which had been strengthened by "adaptive enzymes".

"A decent machine..."

The top-class pilot saluted the VF-J20. His "comrade-in-arms" was about to be taken to target practice. This was a necessary test to examine the aircraft's damage resistance. Using live ammunition would be more valuable for reference.

The bigwigs who arrived began to observe the VF-J20 in its guardian form up close, their faces showing satisfaction. Only up close could they truly appreciate the technological sophistication of this machine; the previous equipment could only be called technology, but this one could be called science fiction.

"Our army has invested in this project!"

After a busy day at work, Shi Qiang drove Zhou Mingrui and his two kittens home.

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Lingdang and Tio were also looking at him, so he couldn't help but smile.

What do you want to eat tonight?

"Let's eat some home-cooked food."
