Chapter 94: Supersonic Chase with 20 Ji

The air density was extremely low. As Wei Jiang controlled the car and stepped on the accelerator, he could vaguely feel his body leaning backwards while sitting inside the driving shield.

The tilt is very small and there is no discomfort to the body.

The city lights that were connected together in the field of vision ahead became brighter and brighter in Wei Jiang's sight.

Wei Jiang lowered his eyes and noticed that the numbers on the right side of the monitor were jumping rapidly.

"0.92 Ma"

During Wei Jiang's observation, the numbers continued to increase rapidly, crossing the threshold of 1 in the blink of an eye, and the growth rate did not slow down.

Mach 1.21

Noticing that the manta ray was flying so fast, Wei Jiang was excited but not too surprised.

With the knowledge of variable cycle engine technology and rich aviation knowledge, Wei Jiang had some vague guesses about how anti-gravity power should perform.

Exploring the speed limit of manta rays is the reason why Wei Jiang kept pressing the left putter to the bottom.

When the manta rays strengthened, the waters were not far from the eastern mainland, about 130km.

Flying at supersonic speed, the East Continent was getting closer and closer in Wei Jiang's field of vision. Wei Jiang could even see the lights of the cross-sea bridge connecting the islands in front.

At this time, the manta ray is flying at a speed of Mach 2.1!

The manta ray flew through the air, and the sound of air explosions caused by its supersonic flight continued to spread all around.

In the darkness, in a valley a hundred kilometers west of Shangdu City.

Two runways over a thousand meters long were vaguely visible under the dim lights.

An alarm sounded in a building not far from the runway!
Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!
"According to the notification from the Shangdu Radar Station, an unidentified foreign aircraft was spotted 30km east of Shangdu City!"

"The external aircraft is in supersonic flight!"

The foreign aircraft touched the outside of Shangdu, the economic center of Dongda University, which shocked the soldiers on duty for intelligence.

The importance of Shanghai in the economic development of Southeast University is self-evident. If foreign aircraft have the intention to attack, no one can imagine what the consequences will be!

"Notify the Jianglong formation to take off urgently!"

"quick!"

"Tell them they only have 10 minutes!"

The head of the base issued the order decisively.

The duty of their brigade is to protect the cities surrounding Shangdu and safeguard the airspace security above the land and sea in the eastern part of Dongda.

Radar monitoring data showed that the external machine's signal was moving at a very high speed and was about to break into Shangdu's airspace, and everyone in the room was on high alert.

In the past 20 years, no foreign aircraft has ever intruded into such a core area of ​​the Dongda airspace.

"Why was the foreign aircraft not discovered until it was almost on land?!"

The question of who is in charge also comes to the minds of others.

When the radar detected the target signal for the first time, the foreign aircraft had already approached the airspace of Shangdu.

"Is it the Ugly Eagle's stealth fighter jet that's here to provoke you? Do you want to save the face you lost some time ago?"

Someone cautiously tried to give an explanation.

This is the most reasonable explanation for the current situation, and others couldn't help but fall into thought.

The target foreign aircraft was first detected in the coastal airspace of Shangdu, indicating that the foreign aircraft had remained silent and invisible before.

It sounded reasonable, but the person in charge frowned, shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"The two stealth fighters of the Ugly Eagle are not completely undetectable. The radar station has special detection equipment for these two fighters."

Without further explanation, the most important thing at the moment is to urgently deal with the foreign aircraft that is about to enter Shangdu airspace.

It takes at least 10 minutes for our fighter jets to take off, and the radar observation signal shows that the foreign aircraft's speed is around Mach 2.

At such a high speed, 10 minutes is more than enough for the opponent to reach the sky above Shangdu. This is the reality that makes everyone panic!
"Notify the Shangdu Armed Police and Fire Department to be prepared to respond to emergencies."

The person in charge looked up at the other people in the room, and a solemn and tense atmosphere filled the room.

"We have to prepare for the worst."

No one would be stupid enough to think that a foreign aircraft capable of supersonic flight is a civilian aircraft.

No one dared to speculate how the situation unfolded.

"Respond with all your strength, contact the air defense missile forces, and prepare for the attack!"

The manta ray's flight speed is still increasing, and Mach 2.4 is still not the upper limit of its performance.

Wei Jiang's body did not feel particularly badly overloaded in the driver's seat, he just felt a little push on his back.

Compared with the physical stimulation, Wei Jiang's psychological reaction was greater. Anyone who thought that the aircraft they were riding was cruising at supersonic speed would have their heartbeat quicken.

The night scene of the city ahead was clearly and vividly displayed in front of Wei Jiang. The crisscrossing busy roads in the night were like flowing rivers of lights.

Wei Jiang was fascinated by the sight and in order to have a better view of the night view, he put away the alloy mask.

In order to avoid disturbing the city’s people by flying too fast, Wei Jiang reduced the manta ray’s flight speed to 0.6 Mach.

As the speed slowed down, the night scene in front of him no longer flashed by like a stream of light. Wei Jiang could even make out the advertising copy projected on the outer wall of the tall building in front of him.

"I fell in love with the capital"

Looking at the familiar skyscrapers, Wei Jiang then noticed that the manta ray was flying over the Bund, the most famous place in Shangdu.

The long light strips and neon lights below, viewed from an altitude of 2000 meters, are completely different from what they were viewed from the ground.

There is less shock and more detached calmness.

In front of the field of vision, the lights extend far away, and the lights cover the entire city area of ​​Shangdu.

"Go around the city."

There was plenty of time, and Wei Jiang was not in a hurry at all. It was his first time in space, and he had to feast his eyes.

Following the flow of the Huangpu River, Wei Jiang drove the manta ray and quietly appreciated the beauty of Shangdu at night.

beep!beep!
When flying over the western suburbs of Shangdu, Wei Jiang was immersed in the beautiful scenery of Shangdu when two warning tones sounded in the cockpit.

He turned his head to look at the display in front of him in confusion, and two red detection signals appeared.

"Two aircraft approaching manta rays"

「Flight altitude 4000 meters」

"The aircraft is flying at a speed of 0.9 Mach"

Wei Jiang was a little slow to react when he saw the prompt.

As an economically developed city, Shangdu's airport has flights running day and night, with a large number of civil airliners taking off and landing.

After controlling the manta ray to avoid the airport airspace, Wei Jiang no longer paid attention to the detection signals of these civil airliners.

"0.9 Mach, military aircraft?"

When Wei Jiang was about to study it carefully, two fighter jets quickly approached the manta ray's flying airspace.

The display in front showed the electro-optical tracking images of the two fighter jets.

"Wow! 20 girls! Two of them."

As a pseudo military fan, Wei Jiang had never participated in an air show. This was his first time seeing the 20 Ji.

It was normal for a fan to be enthusiastic, and he did not realize that he was the target of the two 20-girls.

Someone will remind him of the reality that he has not noticed.

The display in front shows that a broadcast signal has been detected.

After choosing to receive the identification signal, a resolute male voice sounded in the cockpit, and the other party spoke in English first. "Outboard aircraft ahead, please identify yourself immediately!"

"You have entered the airspace of the University of East China, please immediately identify yourself and your intentions!"

"If you don't reveal your identity and intentions, we have the right to shoot you down at any time!"

Wei Jiang's English is average to begin with, and the person who spoke to him also has average English.

In addition, the other party's English accent was strange, so Wei Jiang couldn't understand it even more.

Fortunately, after the English call ended, the male voice repeated it in Chinese, and Wei Jiang finally understood.

"Fuck! I'm the target!"

Wei Jiang finally realized the situation he was in. Looking at the handsome appearance of the two 20Ji aircraft on the screen, he fell silent.

"what can we do about it?"

While Wei Jiang was thinking, two Type 20s flew up to the side of the Manta Ray.

The two fighter jets sandwiched the manta ray on the left and right.

Wei Jiang was not the only one who was nervous. The pilots flying the two 20Ji were even more nervous.

With the help of the faint moonlight, after seeing the unusual shape of the manta ray, the two pilots realized that this plane was definitely not normal.

Such a strange-looking aircraft has never appeared in military records.

While the lead plane was shouting to the other side, the wingman pilot immediately used the military communication channel to report to the base.

He also sent back to base photos and videos of the unknown aircraft's appearance.

"Jianglong 02 reports that the target fighter has never been seen before!"

"No identification markings or numbers were found on the fuselage."

The wingman pilot tilted his head to observe the manta ray carefully. When he saw the two rings of blue and white light at the tail of the manta ray, his expression under the helmet was even more shocked, and his eyes were staring at the tail of the manta ray.

There is no hot air jet like in traditional engines;

There is no roar of the engine at work;

The circular light also looked strange.

"Report"

"The target aircraft, the engine looks a little strange."

"I don't understand the details. Maybe you should ask scientists to study it carefully."

The pilot was in shock and no longer cared about the fact that the target plane had not responded to his own broadcast calls to leave.

What he saw before his eyes had a huge impact on him.

The pilot couldn't help but wonder, is such a strange aircraft the latest research result of Ugly Eagle or other forces?

What's the deal with this aerodynamic shape and engine?

After taking a video and sending it back to the base, the pilot discovered that the nose of the target aircraft was lifted.

Without caring about anything else, the pilot immediately turned on the radio to make a statement.

"Outside aircraft, don't act rashly, we can attack you at any time!"

The shouting obviously had no effect. The target fighter plane raised its nose and its speed suddenly increased, soaring into the sky.

The external machine broke the sound barrier in a very short time and rushed into the clouds.

"No. 01, chase!"

"We can't let it get away!"

While the technicians were still studying the data sent back to the base, the two Type 20s increased their horsepower, increased their flight speed to supersonic speed and caught up closely.

Looking at the signals of the two fighter jets chasing closely behind on the monitor, Wei Jiang showed a confident smile under his mask.

"Come and chase her. This is a good opportunity for me to see how mobile 20 Ji is."

With the support of anti-gravity power, the acceleration performance and maneuverability of the Manta Ray are simply incomparable to ordinary vector engines.

Considering the huge gap in power module generations between the two sides, Wei Jiang did not intend to use super maneuverability to get rid of the two 20Ji at the beginning.

"First, speed."

Laughter came from under the alloy mask. How could Wei Jiang miss the opportunity to test the quality of Dongda's strongest fighter?

The speed is controlled at 1.5 Mach and the flight altitude is controlled at 8000 meters.

A few minutes later, the detection signals of the two 20-meter-high aircraft finally appeared behind the manta ray's butt.

When Wei Jiang noticed that the distance between the two sides was reduced to nearly 1km, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he pushed the putter forward with his left hand again.

The number representing the manta ray's flying speed has increased again.

1.6Ma, 1.7Ma, 1.8Ma
In just a few seconds, the manta ray increased its speed to Mach 2 under Wei Jiang's control, and the distance between the two sides widened again.

In the cockpit of No. 01 Ji, code-named Jianglong 20, as the lead pilot, her flying skills must be much better than those of ordinary pilots.

His rich driving experience told him that the external machine was clearly provoking them at this moment.

Accelerate instantly to create distance, then wait for them to catch up and then accelerate again to create distance.

The other party's provocation did not arouse the anger of the lead pilot.

During the aerial confrontation with the Ugly Eagle military aircraft, they had encountered more dangerous situations than this.

"02, chase at maximum maneuvering speed!"

"It must be a priority to ensure that the other party is driven out of the land airspace!"

In the communication channel, the wingman pilot responded and the two 20-fighters accelerated to full speed.

Flying at full speed, the strange target plane soon appeared in front of them.

Wei Jiang also noticed that two fighter planes were approaching him quickly from behind.

"Mach 2.2, equipped with two engines, this speed is not bad."

Wei Jiang pressed his left hand forward again, and the manta ray's flying speed was increased to Mach 2.5.

Flying at a speed of Mach 2.5, Wei Jiang could feel the clouds below the manta ray being quickly left behind, and everything around him was quickly retreating.

While Wei Jiang was feeling the visual impact of high-speed flight, the pilots in the two 20J fighter jets behind the Manta Ray were feeling an even greater shock.

Mach 2.2 is the maximum flight speed of the 20Ji fighter!

The three planes engaged in a supersonic chase in the air, and the result was that the two 20-ki were defeated.

"Damn it! Why is the other party so fast?!"

"Being able to fly so fast, this bastard was just playing tricks on us before!"

"Captain, request to launch the PL-15 to teach this bastard a lesson!"

The wingman pilot was obviously a little angry because of the opponent's teasing.

The pilot of the lead plane was not as angry as his opponent. Instead, he felt more heavy-hearted.

According to the acceleration performance of the target aircraft just now and judging from its still stable flight posture, the speed exceeding 20 kilometers is not its limit at this time.

In other words, the opponent is fully capable of shaking off their two fighter jets at any time.

"Shut up!"
