The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2029 Crimson War Dragon
"Amazing!"

Asuka Shin opened his eyes wide, looking up at the red fighter plane in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

This paint scheme is so beautiful compared to other models of Feiyan No. 1.

It really is worthy of being called the Crimson War Dragon!

Asuka Shin sighed from the bottom of his heart, as expected, if you want to do art, you should go to Europe, the atmosphere is so rich.

Looking at the Crimson War Dragon, whether it is powerful or not is another matter, but it is really handsome.

Looking at the Crimson War Dragon, it is just like the saying goes, being strong is only for a version, but being handsome is for a lifetime.

The eye-poking and crotch-grabbing techniques of unlimited fighting are indeed very powerful in actual combat, but no one will put this on the big screen, let alone gain admiration and envy. Although fancy moves are flashy and unrealistic, they can gain screams and applause, and maybe even a fan base.

But if you roll around on the ground, covered in dirt, and keep attacking people, even if you win, you will still be despised and disliked.

Asuka Shin may not have heard of this, but after seeing the crimson war dragon, his eyes were deeply attracted, so much so that he couldn't help but go forward and touch it.

Once again, I sigh from the bottom of my heart: How cool!
Compared with other models of Feiyan No. 1, the biggest difference of the Crimson War Dragon is the weapon module on the nose, which has been replaced with a triple-mounted laser cannon.

The shorter one in the middle is the same needle-shaped free electron laser cannon as the other Feiyan No. 1s, while the ones installed on the left and right are heavy beam cannons - charged particle cannon laser cannons.

The length of the barrel alone is twice as long as the laser cannon in the middle, and its power is more than twice as strong.

This is the Feiyan-2009D model, which was modified by the European branch with approval in . Because of its red paint, it was code-named Fire Salamander during the testing phase, and its official code name after finalization, mass production and deployment was Crimson War Dragon.

In addition to the triple-mounted laser cannon on the nose, which is larger and more powerful than other Feiyan-1 models, the biggest feature of the Crimson War Dragon is that it maximizes the super-excitement mode of the Feiyan-1 fighter.

Before the development of the Feiyan series of fighter jets, UNDF had put forward very specific requirements: an exciting aircraft that is faster than a jet and more versatile than a helicopter.

Based on this requirement, the Kashiwamura team designed a super maneuvering mode, which achieved rapid vertical take-off and landing by changing the variable nozzle, thus meeting the design requirements.

But later, due to the introduction of alien technology, breakthroughs in technology and materials made rapid vertical take-off and landing no longer a difficult task, so the super maneuverability mode did not seem so necessary.

Therefore, Feiyan I, Feiyan II and the later Feiyan EXJ, although all have super mode, they are rarely used.

Because to use it, you have to turn the wings, fly up, and then turn the wings back, which is very troublesome and time-consuming. The anti-gravity system plus the nozzles on the belly are enough for vertical take-off and landing, so the super maneuvering mode seems unnecessary.

However, this design, which was considered useless, was developed and promoted by the European branch.

The reason for this is that there are many mountains in Europe, and the mountains are steep. Many places are halfway up the mountain or even in the valley. Whether it is fighting against monster disasters or carrying out rescue operations, higher requirements are placed on vertical maneuvers.

Therefore, the European branch put a lot of effort into the development of the super mobility mode, but reaped unexpected rewards.

That is the Crimson War Dragon in super maneuverability mode. It performed exceptionally well in the zero-gravity space environment, so much so that it was chosen by the Space Development Agency as a space fighter. The European branch produced it on a large scale to replace the general-purpose maneuverable spacecraft NSDA-2000C developed by NSDA in 2006 and modified in 2000. It is still shining in major space stations of TPC.

Originally, the Crimson War Dragons modified using the Feiyan-2014 platform would be gradually retired after the new fighters were put into service. However, in , all the Crimson War Dragons were modified using the Feiyan-Z platform, which extended their service life.

Not long ago, Horii and the United Space Adventure Team demonstrated the Hiyan-1M equipped with a miniaturized NeoMAX engine. TPC also decided to retrofit all the Hiyan-1s currently in service with small NeoMAX engines. Crimson War Dragon is naturally among them, and its service life will inevitably be further extended.

It is no exaggeration to say that although it has been seven years since the Crimson War Dragon entered the space station's armed sequence in 2010, judging from the current trend, it will probably be used for another seven years or even longer.

Because the number of Crimson War Dragons is indeed quite large, the other models combined can barely be compared with the Crimson War Dragons.

All this is due to the rapid progress of TPC's new field plan. Multiple space stations have been built in the orbits of various planets in the solar system, and each one is equipped with a space fighter - Crimson War Dragon - under the pretext of defending against meteorites.

In order to meet the demand, the Feiyan No. 1 production lines in other places were stopped early, and only the European branch continued to build Crimson War Dragons and then send them to various space stations.

Even though the new fighter jets were finalized, the Crimson Dragon did not stop production because TPC was still building a new space station. As the only space fighter jet at present, the Crimson Dragon was the best choice.

Although the Victory Condor has been in service for some time,
How should I put it? Although the performance of the Victory Eagle far exceeds that of the Crimson War Dragon, and even its performance in space warfare is extremely excellent, its cost is indeed a bit high.

It is definitely impossible to meet the demand in a short period of time, let alone equip the space station.

Therefore, the Crimson War Dragon can continue to be glorious for a while.

Not to mention, the Crimson War Dragon is not standing still, but is also constantly improving.

Not only did the engine become Max-powered, but Mars City also installed the experimental Spacium cannon, which took the Crimson War Dragon's attack power to a new level.

Although it is still under experimentation, you can tell whether it has been strengthened or not.

Anyway, Asuka Shin thinks it has been strengthened, and can't wait to drive it out for a flight, and it would be best if he could try out the long-rumored Spacium cannon.

Ever since TPC discovered the exotic Spacium ore on Mars, many people have wanted to weaponize it, causing rumors to spread everywhere.

This one said that the Spesium cannon could shatter an asteroid with one shot;

That said, the Specium cannon can shatter the alien space with one shot;

and also
Although everyone described it with certainty, no one had ever seen the real thing, which made people doubt whether the Spacium cannon actually existed.

Today, Asuka Shin can answer with certainty that yes, and they are all practical and miniaturized.

The three long cannon barrels in front of him were different from any weapon he had seen before. Combined with the test pilot's explanation, he was certain that these were the legendary Spacium cannons. "That's amazing."

Asuka Shin once again expressed his feelings, this time praising the Spacium ore in the Spacium cannon.

Such an ordinary piece of stone actually contains so much energy.

According to calculations, the energy released by a fist-sized piece of Spacium ore is enough to power 10,000 households for a hundred years, and it is completely pollution-free, a truly clean energy.

The only drawback is that the Spacium ore is too inactive. In order to utilize the energy in it, a series of catalytic reactions are required, and the cost is indeed not low.

Although it is not very suitable for use as a battery, it is still fine to use it as a weapon.

Therefore, when the construction of Mars City began, the Spesium Mine had already begun operation, transporting shiploads of ore back to Earth. It also established several laboratories on Mars to fully research the application of Spesium ore.

After years of hard work, the Spacium Laboratory on Mars has finally found a way to apply Spacium ore, completed the testing of the Spacium Cannon Type I, and built an experimental small Spacium Cannon, which was installed on the Crimson War Dragon, the one in front of Asuka Shin.

“I really hope tomorrow will come soon.”

Asuka Xin said reluctantly that although the plane was dispatched overnight, it was obvious that no one would accompany him to go crazy in the middle of the night. He could only wait until daytime to board the plane and fly around.

Then the alarm sounded, and its piercing voice drowned out the words that Fei Niao Xin had just spoken, and reached the ears of everyone in Mars City, startling everyone, whether they were asleep or not.

And this alarm was the air raid alarm that had been sounded in the afternoon.

"Again!"

Asuka Shin was shocked at first, then overjoyed, but he immediately realized that this was not right. After all, the enemy's attack was a bad thing. How could he be happy just because he could drive the Crimson War Dragon now?

We need to reflect, be profound, and...
With this in mind, he ran towards the Crimson Dragon honestly, followed the ladder that had not been removed, and quickly jumped into the cabin. He put on his helmet neatly and closed the cabin cover while shouting, "Quick, quick, quick, open the cabin door, I want to take off."

The ground crew member in charge of the fighter plane was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You haven't tested the flight yet?"

"There's no time to discuss this now," Asuka Shin only glanced at the instrument panel and immediately began to operate it, doing the pre-takeoff inspection work, and said, "Then let's use the battle as a test."

As he spoke, he started the engine, forcing the ground crew to quickly launch the fighter jet off the apron and to the launch port.

When the takeoff door opened, Asuka Xin pushed hard with his right hand, and the engine's output power increased sharply, giving the Crimson War Dragon powerful thrust. It flew out with a whoosh and rushed into the sky like an arrow.

The powerful thrust brought about an overload, pressing Asuka Xin firmly on the flight seat. His vision was darkening due to the pressure, but Asuka Xin was not panicked at all. He operated the Crimson War Dragon in an orderly manner, making it enter a stable flight state, so that he could fight against the Sphia sphere that was flying into Mars from outer space in the best condition.

Yes, some of the invaders were unsurprisingly Sphia Spheres.

The deep space satellite adjusted its parameters and orbit overnight and immediately discovered the traces of the swarms of Sphia spheres. It immediately warned the Martian base, and the Martian city quickly sounded the alarm, allowing Asuka Xin, who was still next to the Crimson War Dragon, to jump onto the fighter plane and become the first pilot to fight.

However, the movement of the Sphia sphere was faster than in the afternoon. It was purely a coincidence that Asuka Xin flew out to fight so quickly. But just as he adjusted the flight posture of the Crimson War Dragon, the onboard radar had already captured the Sphia sphere flying towards him. The other fighter pilots had just run out of the dormitory, and it would take at least two or three minutes before their fighters could take off to fight the enemy.

Before that, there was only Asuka Shin's Crimson War Dragon.

Asuka Shin knew this, but he showed no fear at all. Instead, he said to himself excitedly, "I'll use you to test the power of the Spacium Cannon."

As he spoke, Asuka Xin lowered the goggles of his combat helmet and turned on the helmet display system. A large amount of data immediately appeared in front of Asuka Xin's eyes, as well as an aperture that swayed up and down and left and right as the Crimson War Dragon swayed slightly during flight.

Asuka Shin held the joystick with both hands, all the smiles on his face disappeared, replaced by seriousness. He stared at the halo in front of him, and when the halo saw a light spot of a Sphia sphere, his fingers fell at the same time and pressed the launch button, causing the triple laser cannon on the nose of the aircraft to shoot out three bright laser beams.

In an instant, it cut through the night sky and hit a Sphia sphere that was falling from the sky, immediately exploding it into a fireball that bloomed in the night sky.

"Hit!"

Asuka Xin was grinning with excitement, but his hand was still firmly holding the joystick, pedaling the rudder, and controlling the crimson war dragon to dodge the green light from the Sphia sphere.

In Asuka Xin's hands, the crimson war dragon was as nimble as a swift, swaying in the wind and dancing in the rain, with graceful posture and elegant movements, avoiding one ray of light after another from the Sfia sphere.

While dodging, the Crimson War Dragon could occasionally launch a counterattack, and each time the laser flashed, it could hit a Sphia sphere and explode it into a fireball.

For a moment, this area was filled with dense light like rain, falling down in a sprinkling manner, looking like a meteor shower. From time to time, a small sun would burst out, briefly illuminating the night sky and illuminating the earth.

"Bravo."

People on the ground were watching Asuka Shin's solo performance on the big screen. They were amazed at his superb flying skills and were also grateful for Asuka Shin's quick attack.

If it weren't for Asiniao Xin's obstruction, these Sphia spheres would have already fallen to the ground. In that case, it is hard to say how much damage they would have caused to the city of Mars.

Now with Asuka Xin's obstruction, the attention of the Sphia sphere has been greatly attracted, causing them to besiege the Crimson War Dragon, giving the ground base troops time to counterattack.

But at this moment, a sharp-eyed person noticed something and immediately shouted, "Look, there are a few more Sphia spheres here, and they are about to fall to the ground."

"what?"

People's attention was immediately drawn to that, and they discovered that when Asuka Shin was driving the Crimson War Dragon Yusphia Sphere in a fierce battle, several Sphia spheres "quietly" fell from the other side to the battlefield between Tiga and the Sphia synthesizers in the afternoon.
