Chapter 725 Super Weapon

Seeing the groups busy in an orderly manner, Duke suddenly thought that the lost control of the Wingshode drone could fly in the air for several hours. If it was not found at the first time, it might not be found any later. It would be fine if it was allowed to fly to the distant sea, run out of fuel and fall into the deep sea, but it would be bad if it was afraid that it would fly in the wrong direction and enter the neighboring countries.

Thinking of this, Duke felt nervous. The same type of Wingshock sent out to search for the crashed drone. From the fastest speed, the two are the same. In addition, there is no onboard search radar on this drone. If the Wingshock drone does not hover in place after it loses control, but flies in a certain direction at the fastest speed, the newly dispatched search drone will not find any hope of it.

It seems that we have to ask the military for help to retrieve the lost Winglong drone. However, even with Duke's current status, he did not mobilize the power of the local garrison. Fortunately, Duke has a smooth communication channel with the military. After thinking about this, Duke quickly took out the phone and called Qin Tairan.

"Brother Qin, there is something happening now. I urgently need military help." After Duke answered the phone, he briefly explained the matter in a few words. Time is precious now, and Duke has no time to chat.

"Duke, do you mean that you have successfully developed the beam-energy electromagnetic wave transmitter and today the pterosaur drone at a height of more than 5,000 meters failed?" Qin Tairan was surprised and happy when he heard the news. "Okay, I will contact the Military Commission immediately and order the nearest air early warning aircraft to take off and retrieve the drone. I will talk to you in detail after I contact you."

Qin Tairan knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly hung up Duke's phone and wanted to dispatch large-scale military equipment such as air early warning aircraft. This must be done by the headquarters of the Military Commission. Qin Tairan said that he could only find Mr. Liu. This was the fastest channel. After Sun Hong received Qin Tairan's call, he immediately reported to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu called the Southern Military Region Air Force Command and ordered the air force early warning aircraft closest to the Lotus Base to take off, and be sure to find the crashed drone, and plan how to get this uncontrolled drone down.

Compared to Duke, Mr. Liu seems more nervous and important to this matter. Although the Winglong drone used by Duke and others to test does not have any military logos of the People's Liberation Army, this kind of drone has frequently appeared in Pakistan and the Diaoyu Taiwan air wars. If you accidentally fly into the airspace of neighboring countries in one direction, it will trigger an unnecessary political and military dispute. Although the People's Liberation Army is now showing prestige, even if this drone enters the neighboring countries, they dare not act rashly, but politically it will definitely make the government very passive. After all, neighboring countries are very vigilant and sensitive to China's every move, and any slight movement may cause an uproar.

More importantly, Mr. Liu also heard that the drone was made by an electromagnetic weapon, so it would not fall into the hands of others. You should know that Duke is very likely to be transformed into a secret weapon of the military.

The Southern Military Region Air Force Command received an order and quickly ordered the air force base near the island to take off an air warning aircraft at the same time. For them, it has only been more than ten minutes since they found this drone. It is not difficult to find this drone that has lost control. With the flight speed of this improved second-generation pterosaur, the maximum cruise speed is 400 kilometers per hour. In more than ten minutes, it can fly out at most dozens of kilometers. The long-range radar of the air early warning aircraft that takes off can detect hundreds of kilometers. It is not too difficult to find it along a place where it has lost control.

The hardest thing is how to get it down after finding it.

When the deputy commander of the Southern Military Region Air Force called Duke to ask for advice, Duke suddenly realized that he didn't know how to get the Winglong drone down after completely losing control.

As a last resort, Duke had to say painfully to the deputy commander of the Southern Military Region Air Force, "Commander Zhao, if there is no way, shoot it down," Duke paused after saying this, "Of course, if we can try to maintain the integrity of the body when shooting down, we can fish it out of the sea for research."

Deputy Commander Zhao felt relieved when he heard Duke's words, "Okay, Dean Du, we try our best to attack the engine that destroys the Wing Dragon drone and keep the body intact."

Soon, the early warning aircraft that took off found traces of the pterosaur. At this moment, it was indeed flying straight west at full speed. The Air Force took off two J-10C fighter jets to intercept and shot them down on the high seas of the Beibu Gulf. At the same time, the naval rescue salvage ship rushed to the sea area for salvage.

It was noon the next day when Duke received the wreckage of the Wingshode drone that was successfully salvaged and sent to the Lotus Base. After careful inspection by Duke's research team, it was indeed found that most of the electronic equipment on the Wingshode had been destroyed, and only the instruments that controlled the engine of the aircraft were lucky enough to work normally.

At the same time, an abnormality was also found during the inspection of the beam energy electromagnetic wave transmitter on the ground. Because a certain material failed under the limit, the emitted electromagnetic beam energy area spread. After reaching more than 5,000 meters in the sky, it had become more than ten square meters. Therefore, most of the electronic instruments on the Winglong drone that was responsible for the test mission were instantly destroyed.

This accident made this beam-energy electromagnetic wave transmitter have extremely strong lethality to the air target. According to Duke's calculations and estimates, electronic components on air vehicles within a range of 10,000 meters are likely to be destroyed.

In other words, this unexpected error makes the beam energy electromagnetic wave transmitter rarely have the ability of an electromagnetic weapon.

This is the unintentional way to make a shadow of willows. Thinking of the time when the Cosmic Exploration Center was established, it promised the military to transform this beam-energy electromagnetic wave transmitter into a new electromagnetic weapon in the future. Unexpectedly, it had not yet turned it into an ultra-long-range interstellar communicator and had its weapon function first.

Therefore, this defect can be regarded as a new achievement, a new idea to transform beam-energy electromagnetic wave transmitters into weapons.

Although it seems that this thing is still very bulky and has many limitations, including the need for huge energy support, it is powerful and has poor practicality. But after transformation, who knows what it will become?

Compared with current air defense weapons, the biggest advantage of this electromagnetic weapon is that it destroys the high-speed performance of the target, a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to destroying it.

This is also an unparalleled advantage of all air defense weapons now, and even its emergence may rewrite the current history of short-range air defense.

So, without surprise, the Lotus Base has another new R&D team and began to diligently conduct research on Duke's failed beam-energy electromagnetic wave transmitter. They will work hard to transform this thing into a weapon suitable for combat, although no one knows where this thing can be used. But everyone believes that a new super weapon is about to be born.
