I built an armada.

Chapter 638: Born to Win, High-altitude Monitoring of Japanese-American Operations
"Yes, Chief."

After receiving the order, Xie Zhenyu continued to control Dark Sword No. 1 to climb to a higher altitude.

At this time, Dark Sword No. 1 was still in very good condition, without any abnormal conditions.

“25km, 26km!”

"Boss Su, Dark Sword One has reached its maximum altitude!"

In the command hall, Professor Zhang, staring at the changes in altitude data, said excitedly.

Breaking through this unprecedented height means that the fighter planes of the Longxia tribe have also flown to their own maximum altitude, which is a cause for celebration.

"Our theoretical design limit altitude is 27km, so let's continue to raise it by one thousand meters to test the redundant limit altitude."

Su Dingping checked the data of Dark Sword No. 1 and turned to Professor Zhang.

The extra one thousand meters is naturally to deal with the possibility that a hostile country develops an air defense missile with a firing altitude of 26km. The extra one thousand meters is to ensure that pilots have enough escape height.

Even if discovered, the pilot can rely on the altitude of one thousand meters to avoid the attack of anti-aircraft missiles and stay in a safe area.

"Xie Zhenyu, you have now flown beyond the practical limit of the Dark Sword No. 1."

After thinking for a moment, Su Dingping said, "The theoretical escape altitude of Dark Sword No. 27 is km. This extra meters is for extreme situations. Are you willing to take on this challenge?"

"Commander, yes!"

Without any hesitation, Xie Zhenyu took the order and directly controlled Dark Sword No. 27 to continue approaching the maximum limit of km.

Having reached such a high level, he was actually under increasing pressure and faced increasing challenges, but he still charged forward without hesitation.

That's right, he was risking his own life to push the Dark Sword One to its maximum altitude, and also to be able to fly safely and unscrupulously over the enemy country.

He knew very well what Su Dingping meant by that.

The altitude of 27km is designed to be able to sweep across the air defense systems of all countries on the blue planet, allowing pilots performing missions to use the aircraft at an absolutely safe altitude.

In other words, even if the enemy launches anti-aircraft missiles, the Dark Sword One will not be able to be harmed!
It didn't take long for Dark Sword 27 to reach an altitude of km.

"Reporting to the commander, we have reached an altitude of 27 km."

"The aircraft is performing well, the instruments are working fine, everything is normal."

In the cabin, Xie Zhenyu took a look at the various instruments and parameters, and his mood became very good. He couldn't help but let out a breath.

"Very good, keep going for five minutes."

"Five minutes later, we descended to 26 km and switched to supersonic flight test subjects. We still followed orders."

Su Dingping made the decision very decisively. Five minutes was a test for Dark Sword No. 1 and also for the pilot.

But don't underestimate these five minutes, as they can give them a great sense of security for future missions. They can boldly conduct reconnaissance over enemy countries, and can even conduct reconnaissance over the Eagle Tribe without worrying about being shot down.

"Yes, Chief."

Xie Zhenyu took the order and stayed at this altitude for five minutes.

Five minutes is extremely short in normal time, but for test pilots like them, it is extremely challenging, as if they are living a year in a day.

Five minutes later, Dark Sword No. 26 descended to km. After checking that everything was normal, Xie Zhenyu reported again: "Report to the commander, everything is normal!"

"Okay, you take a look at the scenery at this altitude first. In ten minutes, we will switch to supersonic flight!"

Su Dingping checked the flight data and the aircraft status, then gave instructions.

"Yes, Chief!"

Xie Zhenyu simply accepted the order. Without the test flight subject, he would have ten minutes of rest time.

At such a high altitude, he dared to say that he was the one who flew the highest among all the top pilots in Longxia, no doubt about it!

He is undoubtedly the happiest at this moment, and feels honored to be able to participate in the test flight of this project!

People do not know that, 26km above the Longxia tribe, a sci-fi-looking reconnaissance plane is patrolling the peaceful sky at a speed of 0.8 Mach like a king.

The Longxia people had never reached this altitude before, but it was occasionally visited by mysterious reconnaissance planes from the Eagle tribe. Now, there are traces of the Longxia people's footprints and aircraft left here.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and everything went very smoothly during the test, which made the experts and test personnel who were closely watching the flight status of Dark Sword 1 breathe a sigh of relief.

Through continuous testing, all kinds of data obtained are very normal, which gives everyone great confidence.

After many rounds of testing, it can now be basically confirmed that at normal speeds, the performance of Dark Sword No. 1 is fully up to standard and performs very well!

It can be said that the Dark Sword No. 1 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft is a technologically advanced product!

"Xie Zhenyu, in 10 seconds, you can enter supersonic cruise mode."

After Su Dingping looked through all the data and parameters, he picked up the microphone and spoke very seriously.

"Yes, Chief!"

After the countdown ended, Xie Zhenyu immediately pushed the accelerator, and the two engines on the Dark Sword No. 1 spewed out powerful flames, pushing the reconnaissance plane forward.

"boom!"

It didn't take long for the speed to break the sound barrier. A piercing sonic boom suddenly sounded like a huge explosion, and it penetrated the cockpit seal and continued to stimulate Xie Zhenyu's eardrums.

However, thanks to the protection of the earmuffs, he was in very good condition at the moment and this speed was not a problem for him at all.

At this moment, his attention was focused on whether the various values ​​displayed on the instruments on the Dark Sword No. 1 were in normal condition, and at the same time, he also had to pay attention to whether there was any abnormality in the status of the aircraft.

In the ground flight control hall, as the Dark Sword No. 1 broke through the sound barrier and entered the supersonic flight stage, various parameters were transmitted back to the computer here in real time.

"Reporting to the Chief, according to the data, everything is normal."

"Okay, keep speeding up!"

Su Dingping gave the order again.

The speed then increased to Mach 1.2, more than twice the speed of sound.

"Report to the commander, everything is normal!" Professor Zhang reported truthfully.

At the same time, Xie Zhenyu also replied that he was in good condition, and Dark Sword No. 1.5 was also in good condition. "Very good, the speed has increased to Mach ."

Su Dingping gave orders again to ensure that Dark Sword No. 1 could continue to fly at this speed, which was its normal working speed.

"Report to the commander, everything is normal."

Professor Zhang's report reassured Su Dingping, and he immediately asked, "What is Xie Zhenyu's current condition?"

"Sir, I don't have any problem."

“The plane is in good condition.”

Xie Zhenyu answered truthfully.

Soon Su Dingping increased the speed to the limit of Mach 2, which is the escape speed. In other words, once encountering danger, the speed can be quickly increased to this level.

Professor Zhang and others quickly recorded the relevant data to ensure that the fighter was operating in a stable state.

"Report to the commander, Dark Sword One has reached its maximum speed!"

Su Dingping nodded, carefully checked every data again and said: "Maintain a speed of Mach 2 and continue flying for five minutes."

"Yes!"

Five minutes passed in a flash, and Professor Zhang quickly reported: "Reporting to the commander, all data are normal and within a reasonable range."

"Okay, reduce the speed to Mach 1.5 and maintain the flight status for thirty minutes! After thirty minutes, you can return." Su Dingping gave the order directly.

"Yes!"

The order was quickly conveyed to Xie Zhenyu, who immediately reduced his speed and kept flying at a speed of Mach 1.5. This also allowed him to once again experience the superb performance of the Dark Sword No. , which was able to completely outperform ordinary fighter planes in terms of speed.

What's more, Dark Sword No. 26 has a km high-altitude escape space, which makes the enemy's fighter planes sigh in despair!
At this moment, he had a bold idea. He wanted to fly the Dark Sword No. 1 over the military bases deployed by the Donghuang Tribe or the Eagle Tribe in the waters of Dongzhou to see what the other side could do to him.

Seeing that everything was normal and all the data were very good, Professor Zhang and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is enough to prove that the tests of various subjects have been very good, and the actual test has been half successful. Now we just need to maintain half an hour of supersonic flight, and landing safely will be the biggest victory.

The closer it got to the end, the more nervous Professor Zhang and the others became. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, and the last section is the most dangerous.

After such a long period of flight testing, Professor Zhang and others have already collected a lot of useful data.

These data completely fill the gap in the air force's high-altitude flights and highlight the symbol of a country's strength.

Thirty minutes passed without any major incidents, and those who were staring at the computer screen to check the data were finally able to relax, because they found that all the data of Dark Sword No. 1 was very stable, without any deviation.

"Xie Zhenyu, the test went very well, you can return now."

"But you must remember that the danger is not over yet, so you must pay attention to safety."

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the base."

Su Dingping took a deep breath and gave the instructions in a very serious tone.

"Yes, Chief!"

Xie Zhenyu was well aware that returning home would also be extremely dangerous, especially after experiencing the explosive-speed flight this time, the aircraft had suffered a severe impact.

Time passed slowly, and more than twenty minutes later, Dark Sword No. 1 appeared above the airport and was visible to people with the naked eye.

The observer reported that the Dark Sword No. 1 was in good condition without any damage, which made the test participants feel relieved. They can finally welcome the return of this fighter.

It didn't take long for Dark Sword No. 1 to establish a descent route with the airport, and the aircraft slowed down and descended.

Finally, Dark Sword One landed safely at the airport again.

"Pah, pah!"

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, and Professor Zhang even walked quickly towards the parking stand holding a bouquet of flowers.

When Xie Zhenyu got off the Dark Sword 1, he immediately presented him with flowers and congratulated him: "Congratulations on completing all the test flights of the Dark Sword 1! You are our hero!"

This means that the Dark Sword 1's maiden flight has come to an end, and it will move on to the next phase of its mission.

As soon as Professor Zhang finished speaking, the applause at the scene became even louder, like thunder. Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles, and many people even had tears in their eyes.

After so many days and nights, they finally waited for the successful maiden flight of Dark Sword No. 1, achieving a breakthrough for the Longxia tribe in the field of high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. From then on, the Longxia tribe joined the ranks of the aviation powers on Blue Star!
It is of great significance to the defense of the Longxia tribe, and it will give the Longxia tribe a new means of investigation in the future. The participants are naturally honored.

It is such an honor and glory to see that the Dark Sword No. 1, which I built with my own hands, has now been successful!
Whenever textbooks of later generations mention the Longxia tribe’s first high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, they will inevitably mention the Dark Sword No. 1, and naturally they will also mention Professor Zhang and other related scientific researchers, and their names will also be passed down.

All this is because they follow Su Dingping closely and are deeply involved in the scientific research of each sub-project.

Of course, they were actually more of an assisting role, implementing the scientific research tasks assigned by Su Dingping, and putting this fighter plane together from scratch into a complete, flyable reconnaissance aircraft.

Even if he is just helping out or providing assists, this contribution is absolutely indispensable.

Of course, with Su Dingping's indifference to fame and fortune and his broad mind, he would naturally not compete with them for these things. Instead, he would help them make progress, gain more honors, and enhance their attainments in military scientific research.

Because even though Su Dingping had the blessing of the military industry forging space and was smart enough, he always believed that a single tree cannot make a forest, and those scientific research projects could not be completed by him alone.

Rather than living alone and accomplishing nothing, it is better to train more assistants and let more military experts participate so that they can gain more.

On the other hand, when the military experts and participating researchers feel a sense of gain and honor, they will work harder and give full play to their intelligence and talents, thereby reducing Su Dingping's burden!
It can be said that this is a positive and virtuous cycle, and it can also further promote the accelerated implementation of military scientific research projects.

"Reporting to the commander, all test items for the first flight of Dark Sword 1 have been successfully completed."

"Please give instructions, chief!"

After receiving the flowers, Xie Zhenyu walked straight to Su Dingping, saluted him in a very standard military salute, and said excitedly.

In his opinion, it was a great honor to be the first pilot of Dark Sword One.

"Xie Zhenyu, you performed very well."

Su Dingping looked at the young pilot in front of him, then changed the subject and said, "Next, I need you to stay with me and train more outstanding test pilots."

"Because of me, there will be more fighters coming out, and you will have a different experience. Most of them are non-air-based fighters!"
