Changkong Fighter

Chapter 134 Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Puff puff puff, the ground crew hummed a little tune and sprayed symbols representing shootdown on Liu Jun's fighter plane.

A total of 23 flying saucers, plus 3 stars. The ground crew looked at their workmanship with satisfaction.

Two ground crew members climbed into the air intake to check it, and two more climbed into the tail nozzle to check the engine, reaching out and carefully touching each blade to see if there was any damage.

The blackened cover of the machine gun was wiped clean again. After confirming that there was no problem with the barrel of the 30-2 machine gun, the ground crew filled the ammunition box. In this way, the next time Liu Jun went out, he only needed to hang the ammunition on the deck.

After carefully inspecting every part of the skin, repairing/repairing the laser-burned skin, and spraying it with anti-laser coating, the J15T was restored to its original state.

Then, the ground crew leader carefully verified each inspection in the record book and finally signed his name on it.

The pilots' battlefield is the sky, while the ground crew's battlefield is the ground. Their mission is to maintain every fighter plane so that their comrades can fly the fighter planes without any worries.

After maintaining Liu Jun's fighter, the ground crew checked the mooring lock again, applied a layer of anti-corrosion glycerin on the exposed landing gear, and then went to check another fighter.

The humidity on the flight deck was too heavy, causing serious corrosion to the fighter planes. Liu Jun's fighter plane was in the parking space closest to the elevator in the hangar, so it could take off quickly when needed.

“Which direction?”

The stick is pointing at the C-shaped symbol.

"Left"

"right"

In the infirmary, Liu Jun underwent a physical examination as usual, and the military doctor checked his physical and mental state to assess whether he could complete the next battle. Especially psychological problems, which are invisible to the naked eye, have a greater impact on the pilot and may even end his entire flying career.

"Alright, Captain Liu, your physical and mental condition have passed the assessment."

Liu Jun took the inspection book to the wing commander, and then found himself on leave on the ship again. He didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, he decided to go eat.

Entering the 24-hour cafeteria on the aircraft carrier, he ordered some food and chose a corner to sit down and start eating. Before he finished, the ship's broadcast suddenly rang out: "Changkong! Go to the briefing room immediately! Repeat! Changkong! Go to the briefing room immediately!"

Liu Jun, who was eating, put down the cutlery in his hand, stood up, made an apologetic gesture to the canteen cook, and left quickly.

After Liu Jun left, the cook walked to Liu Jun's seat, picked up the plates and cleaned them up.

"report!"

When Liu Jun pushed open the door of the briefing room, he saw the regiment commander and the political commissar standing in the briefing room, pacing back and forth with frowns on their faces, as if they were thinking about something.

"Here it comes, take a look."

After taking the document from the political commissar and reading it, he looked up at the political commissar with a somewhat surprised expression:
"Ah? It wants to see me?"
-
Whoops!

The tide hit the bow of the Type 054B Luohe ship. This small Type 055 was moving at full speed on the sea, and its stored fuel was quickly consumed.

Two nautical miles away from the Luohe ship, the Yuhengxing ship was running at the same speed as it, while on the periphery, the 2A and 054 destroyers formed a huge defense circle for it.

Inside the bridge, the first officer on duty inquired about the helicopter deck every 15 minutes, while the Jiaolong commandos on the helicopter deck also reported their status every 5 minutes. After 12 hours of full speed, the Luohe successfully emerged from the cumulonimbus clouds. Even as darkness fell, the crew, aboard, remained tense because of the alien lifeboat on the helicopter deck!

The Jiaolong commandos, who had just been replaced in the team, kept their eyes fixed on the life capsule, with submachine guns, shotguns and assault rifles in their hands, ready to deal with any aliens that might escape from the life capsule at any time. At the four corners, several commandos were holding special net rope guns to capture aliens that might escape.

Squeak, the optical sensor zooms, and the surrounding laser fence will sound an alarm if any entity passes through.

A dark cloud blocked the bright moonlight, and also blocked the Luohe warship, plunging the entire warship into shadow. The strong lights set up on the helicopter platform illuminated the surroundings like daylight.

A Jiaolong team member lay on the rooftop platform of the helicopter hangar, aiming his precision rifle at the lifeboat below. He couldn't help but whisper to his teammate beside him, "Do you think the creatures inside are still alive?"

"I don't know," the teammate replied in a low voice.

Curiosity is a common problem among human beings, especially when the things on the platform are life forms that humans have never encountered before and come from extraterrestrial civilizations.

"Hmm? Something's happening!"

"alert!"

The symbols on the surface of the lifeboat on the deck lit up again, and this change immediately caused the alarm to respond, making a buzzing sound.

Instantly, the Jiaolong commandos stationed around the alien lifeboat quickly became alert and swarmed toward the helicopter platform, forming a loose semicircle. The mechanical dog, on standby, quickly stood up, its assault rifle trained on its back on the lifeboat.

"team leader?"

"alert!"

click!
The machine gunner pulled the bolt of the Type 89 heavy machine gun, and a 12.7MM armor-piercing bullet was loaded. As long as the opponent was a carbon-based creature, it would definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of the 12.7MM armor-piercing bullet, and would be turned into alien debris with one shot.

At the same time, alarms also sounded inside the Luohe ship's cabin, and several quadcopter drones were launched, flying around the drone deck for 360-degree surveillance.

"Is the stuff inside going to come out?"

Not only the crew of the Luohe ship were alarmed, but the 8K video surveillance through the data link also alerted the experts in the command center thousands of miles away.

Looking at the symbols on it that slowly light up and flash rhythmically, it seems to be conveying some kind of information.

Experts in the fields of cryptography, mathematics, and optics repeatedly looked at the flashing symbols and analyzed their meaning. However, there was too little information to refer to, and it could not be deciphered in a short time.

After flashing continuously for two minutes, the flashing symbol of the lifeboat suddenly went out.
The members of the Jiaolong Commando Team looked at each other, gripped their weapons tightly, and placed their index fingers on the side of the trigger to prevent themselves from accidentally pulling the trigger due to nervousness.

After a few dozen seconds, there was a "puff" sound and a sound similar to a pressure relief valve came from the life capsule. A crack appeared on the life capsule and became bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, everyone was on alert, the alien inside was about to come out! The academicians opened their eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single second!
When the gap opened to its maximum, a soft tentacle wrapped in a thin film poked out from inside, with fluorescent patterns flashing on the surface of the tentacle.

The tentacles first rested on the outer wall of the lifeboat, and then continued to explore the surroundings as if wanting to explore the external environment. Finally, they touched the steel deck of 054B and shrank back as if frightened.
