What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

The world situation is constantly changing.

In the wars of the past two or three years, especially the major direct conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Feng Yanlin has summarized a lot of experience and lessons.

Air combat has risen to another level, completely rewriting the tactics that everyone is used to.

Unmanned, systematic, and beyond-visual-range strikes have become standard features.

The previous aerial combat dominated by manned aircraft is beginning to show its shortcomings.

Therefore, Yang Xiao saw many shortcomings in today's emergency mobilization.

These shortcomings are not due to human factors.

It's a problem with the mechanism.

It's true that the soldiers train very hard, but if they're on the wrong path, all their hard work will be in vain.

Thinking of this, he looked solemnly at his old partner.

"Old Feng, solving problems is far more difficult than raising them."

"If you were given enough power and resources..."

"How do you plan to solve this problem?"

Feng Yanlin remained silent for a long time.

He is not the kind of bureaucrat who only talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

He is a technical officer with rich practical experience and technical reserves.

So when he looked up again, there was light in his eyes.

"Commander, I have already written an article on a similar issue and published it at the Command Academy."

If I had to sum it up in one sentence...

"That means vigorously developing unmanned wingmen."

Done.

Feng Yanlin pulled up the paper that represented his hard work on his phone and handed it to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao took the phone and carefully read it, ignoring the bumpy ride.

The more he read, the more he praised his old partner.

"You hit the nail on the head, Lao Feng. Your article is absolutely instructive."

Feng Yanlin, however, was not optimistic: "The methods of reform are actually obvious to anyone with eyes to see, but the most important thing is the ability to reform."

Feng Yanlin emphasized this point more than once in his article.

In the new air combat model, system-based approaches account for the vast majority.

The proportion of drones is increasing.

The most efficient model is one where a manned aircraft takes the lead and multiple loyal wingmen form a network.

Manned aircraft are only responsible for data relay and backup strikes from the rear.

The rest of the work can be done by drones.

"Our main fighter jets are currently considered world-class, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"However, unmanned wingmen that are compatible with the J-20 and J-35 are still relatively scarce."

"Most drones cannot keep up with the speed and stealth capabilities of these two aircraft."

"So it's easy to expose the entire fleet."

"Therefore, our drone fleet is still stuck in the fourth-generation mode, which seriously hinders the development of fifth-generation drones."

After listening, Yang Xiao nodded solemnly.

This is actually a happy kind of trouble.

China's drone research and development is not weak.

The performance of fifth-generation fighters is simply too incredible.

Drones still have a long way to go before they can catch up with fifth-generation fighters and become their qualified wingmen.

Take stealth as an example.

The radar cross-section of mainstream fifth-generation fighter jets is below 0.001.

If it is to be used as an unmanned wingman for fifth-generation fighter jets, the radar cross-section of this aircraft should also be below this value.

Otherwise, if a fifth-generation fighter goes out wearing a stealth suit, but its underlings go out dressed in bright red and green, the stealth will be meaningless.

Unfortunately.

The Air Force currently does not have a stable aircraft capable of reaching this data.

Even if one or two models meet the requirements in terms of radar cross-section, the aircraft's speed will still have certain shortcomings.

The commanders and soldiers have realized the crux of the problem.

However, equipment lags behind awareness.

This is the worst possible situation for Yang Xiao.

He can solve other problems through tactics and training, but he can't help with equipment issues at all.

"How about this, I'll use your paper as the basis for my report."

"See if we can ask the higher authorities to coordinate and get the Science and Technology Commission to cooperate."

"Get this sorted out for us as soon as possible."

Feng Yanlin was not optimistic upon hearing this.

"I've heard that starting from scratch now is unrealistic."

"Even if I'm prepared, I don't dare to go across."

"However, I heard that the university has a similar project, which was recently approved."

"It originally belonged to the university, but was later transferred to the State Science and Technology Commission."

"If this project makes any progress, I think the chances are much better."

Yang Xiao: "Really? What's the project called?"

"Code name: Yunji".

"Okay." Yang Xiao knew what to do. "I'll discuss the suggestions with my superiors and put some pressure on the project team."

Done.

Yang Xiao turned to look out the window.

Hidden among the green forests, the field command headquarters of the Zhongchen War Zone is right in front of us.

Yang Xiao was somewhat dazed.

Three seconds later, he looked at the front row and asked the staff officer, "How's Qin Ze doing at the university lately?"

The full-time staff officer was slightly taken aback.

He was an advisor responsible for Yang Xiao's daily miscellaneous tasks; his job was very specialized.

One of their specific tasks was to monitor Qin Ze's movements.

Half a second later, the staff officer responded immediately.

"Everything is going well so far."

"The GD01 project, led by Qin Ze, has been approved, and he serves as an advisor."

"This project has been included in this year's 'Five Ones' project list."

Yang Xiao frowned slightly: "Chief Consultant? Isn't the position assigned to Qin Ze a bit too low?"

"Minister Wang personally coordinated this matter."

"Qin Ze himself insisted that he did not want to be the chief engineer."

"Therefore, we can only appoint him as the chief consultant."

Yang Xiao gave a thumbs up: "He doesn't strive for fame or fortune, this kid is a good one."

"In addition, I saw that another team led by Qin Ze also won the provincial-level Outstanding Youth Group award."

Yang Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Really? Another research achievement?"

"No, that's not it."

The staff officer explained.

"I checked, and it seems this award was issued by Beijing Guoan."

"Since it wasn't appropriate to openly award Qin Ze and the others, the National Security Commission entrusted the Education Department with the commendation."

"To commend Qin Ze's team for their contributions to the front line of secrecy."

Yang Xiao was completely confused: "What do you mean by 'contributions from the secrecy front'?"

"It seems that the project led by Qin Ze was used as bait to help the National Security Bureau uncover a major case."

Snapped!

Yang Xiao slammed his hand hard on the seat.

Outrageous!

So outrageous!

My precious son, you not only don't let him concentrate on his research, but you also distract him.

I'm not going to say anything about this!

You actually used him to infiltrate secret operations! How dangerous!

"The National Security Bureau is outrageous; they've abandoned all sense of shame in their pursuit of solving cases."

Yang Xiao was prepared to hold someone accountable immediately.

"Go back and call them immediately, and ask the person in charge to explain this to me."

"The responsibility should be assigned."

Seeing Commander Yang's furious and raging appearance, Feng Yanlin laughed.

"But speaking of which, Commander Yang, you've been incredibly good to Qin Ze, even better than your own son."

"What kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'own son'?"

Yang Xiao pouted.

"He is clearly my biological father."
