"Hit, efficiency rating... 40%."
"Hit, efficiency rating... 50%."
Calls like these were heard throughout the channel, with the most optimistic estimate being only 60% efficient, and the worst efficiency figure being no more than 40%.
It seems that a 500-pound bomb is clearly insufficient in terms of killing power against ELID-infected organisms.
Why is it inadequate? How can it be improved? Questions like these came to Harry's mind.
At 21 p.m., the joint test and evaluation team at the forward base received news that the existing ammunition of the 155mm howitzer was also insufficient in its lethality against severely ELID-infected organisms.
After leaving the absolute kill zone, the remaining targets can only rely on fragments, otherwise the ELID infected will be dealt with as they please.
Those who were blown by the storm would stand up again without feeling tired or painful, and then move in the direction of the sound, looking for living things that could be infected by ELID.
The same is true here. The overpressure created by the aerial bombs has no effect on these abnormal creatures, which means that their killing efficiency has been severely reduced.
Any normal person would have fallen to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and waiting to die under the overpressure range.
In the direction of the breach in the new border wall, a sudden explosion caused the remaining ELID infected creatures to turn in unison, and they staggered towards the direction of the sound with stiff steps.
Only after these things left the test range were the Marines outside given the order to open fire.
As expected, this is a weapons testing ground specifically targeting ELID-infected organisms.
There should be another gap in the wall somewhere else, specifically for testing support weapons for the Army or Marine Corps.
Howitzers, rocket launchers, and even the most common heavy machine guns will participate.
At that time, the existing equipment will be upgraded according to the performance and characteristics of the ammunition.
At the end of the day, Harry suddenly intervened in the ammunition damage assessment affairs with an unprecedented attitude, postponed the next Mk series 1000-pound equivalent bomb test, and instead recruited a group of teams from DARPA who had conducted research on ELID-infected organisms in the early years, and asked them to enter the bombing area under the escort of the Marines to collect more detailed data.
The time has come to continue research that was not completed in the past due to equipment and measurement accuracy issues.
Although different opinions were raised within the Air Force, DARPA's involvement was also for the purpose of aviation ammunition. In the end, the Department of Defense, the Air Force, the Marine Corps and the research agency were involved in a lengthy dispute.
At this time, Harry finally had the style of a general, and took control of all the command of the Air Force weapons testing range in a low-key and elegant manner.
Asuka and Suzune watched with their own eyes as Harry inexplicably seized power and instantly escaped from the embarrassing and precarious situation of being on the verge of death.
"Confused?" Raphael appeared from behind the two of them, "Want to know why?"
"I have no problem." Fei Niao didn't want to talk and took two steps away. She knew that it was all about power exchange and compromise.
She was not interested in what price General Harry paid, nor did she want to find out.
"Just assume you want to hear it."
Raphael took out four cans of beer from his small backpack like a magician, raised his hand and called to Puppet No. 4 who was sitting next to him and tinkering with the radio.
"Where did you get it?"
When Lingyin saw the drink, she immediately came over and said:
"The West Coast is a mess. It has directly led to the central region becoming a polluted area. Now the supply of alcohol has begun to be rationed."
"Found it in the cellar."
"Can I still drink?"
"Of course," Raphael nodded as a matter of course, "They are well sealed, the plastic seal is still intact."
In that case, Lingyin cheered, unfastened the ring, and started drinking happily.
Puppet No. 4 took the beer drink with both hands, bowed slightly to Raphael to express his gratitude, and then began to taste it in small sips.
"In fact, Harry's trick is very simple. He has served in the U.S. Air Force for more than 20 years and has always been able to make allies and train outstanding juniors."
"Will we have such an opportunity?" No. 4 asked naively.
"No."
"How can it be."
Lingyin and Asuka blurted out the same thing, with exactly the same attitude.
"Maybe there is a chance." Raphael felt that there was no answer to this question and took a sip of wine silently.
“Connections”? It sounds so far away, something that only talented people have.
Chapter 192: Flying Across the Ocean
The situation is completely different.
This time, Harry B. Carnegie's power and pomp were greater than usual, and his straight and starched clothes further exuded the invisible aura that he had cultivated over a long period of time in a high position.
A general now has all the adjutants, secretaries, and guards he should have, and he is no longer surrounded only by liaison officers and guards sent by the Marines.
Fortunately, Raphael's team is in charge of the inner layer, so personal safety is not a big deal.
It’s different now.
As nominally "navy" personnel, even if they were unrestricted sequence officers belonging to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the two sides still conducted a handover under the strong request of the Air Force.
She had a private conversation with Harry and openly questioned the risks involved.
But Harry smiled and replied: "That's why there is no risk."
Raphael immediately understood that there was indeed no danger.
The top Air Force officials decided to take serious care of this general whom they had sent to a civilian position. If there were any problems with this "new" general, their reputation would be challenged.
"Well... congratulations. What should I say? I wish you good luck in martial arts?"
"That's a curse." Harry raised his hand and patted the girl's head hard. "Although I was not a witness to that tragic battle, I am at least a reasonable person."
Raphael narrowed his eyes. "It's different now. No one will bother you if you use that kind of derogatory term casually."
"Oh, the Japanese Islands are finished."
The harmonious atmosphere here made the adjutant assigned by the Air Force stare at Raphael with a fierce look.
He didn't have the courage to attack Harry - the general and the adjutant had a relationship of shared success and failure - so he could only pick on the small ants from other military branches who had a huge gap in status and rank to make trouble for.
The major could only use nonsense like "violating professional norms" and "going against the demeanor of an officer" to try to make Raphael disappear from Harry's side.
It was normal that he didn't understand the relationship between the two. Raphael didn't blame this person, he just ignored it out of habit.
But this situation did not last long, and the adjutant, who was anxious to show his loyalty, calmed down.
Raphael understood that the other party knew that he and his group were about to set off for Germany for an inspection.
There was no conflict of interest between the two parties, and some people were willing to mediate, so the tense atmosphere between the two sides gradually eased.
That very night, the transport helicopter arranged by Harry landed on the helipad of the camp.
The aide's jaw dropped when he saw the quadruplets boarding the plane, and he stumbled over his questions as if he had suddenly developed a stutter.
Harry told the adjutant-captain:
"This is my child. You'd better focus on your work instead of thinking about other things."
……
From the forward base of the new border wall to the rear airport, and then board a modified Boeing 737 business transport aircraft with tail number 87141.
The transition from beginning to end was seamless, and it was almost in the blink of an eye that the final moment of leaving the United States arrived.
Since there is no horizontal passenger boarding bridge, passengers traveling to Germany this time have to board the plane via the old-fashioned mobile boarding stairs.
When he boarded the plane, Rafael felt that the interior gave him a feeling that was both ordinary and unique. At first glance, the layout of the central cabin of this plane was the same as other passenger planes.
But when you walk to the door in front, you can see busy figures inside, that is the communication room. Through the satellite wireless communication antenna with extremely high confidentiality, this aircraft can get in touch with all parts of the world at any time.
Next is the comfortable crew lounge, and then the restaurant - the food on the plane is quite good.
Between the restaurant and the VIP area, there were two long sofas against the two walls of the fuselage, one of which was the seat for Raphael and the other two.
The VIP area is where important people stay. It only has 6 seats and is quite luxurious.
Further back are the common cabins with five seats in each row, usually used to accommodate journalists, agents and some accompanying members who are considered not very important.
During this flight, most of the seats in the economy cabin were empty, with only some members of the exchange group who had little status sitting in them, leaving relatively more space for activities.
Asuka and Lingyin sat in comfortable chairs, observing the surroundings blankly. The route they had planned for so long to leave the country was actually realized in this way.
Raphael sat by the window, looking at the flashing lights on the airport runway with mixed feelings.
There shouldn't be any problem for this plane to make a transoceanic flight, she thought.
To be honest, the only drawback of this plane is that its range is a bit short. It has to land once to refuel before flying over the Atlantic Ocean.
It is actually very good that the Air Force can provide such a business jet.
The plane started up quickly and began to move. The content of the intercom broadcast was similar to that of ordinary passenger planes.
However, this broadcast will let passengers know that it is the Air Force, not an ordinary airline, that operates the plane.
Raphael thought it was too troublesome and decided to just take a ride on a cargo plane.
What’s funny is that the stewardess on this plane is a burly waiter who can knock someone down with one punch.
This is really funny.
At this time, the aircraft has taxied to the starting point of Runway 1, waiting for the tower to send the final take-off permission.
The two pilots received data from the weather radar and were mentally prepared for the crosswinds they might encounter next.
"Cleared for takeoff."
They pushed the throttle together, increasing the engine speed to maximum, and the huge jet thrust slowly moved the heavy passenger plane forward.
At this moment, the wind is biased to the north, blowing diagonally from the east.
But its efforts failed to shake the passenger plane, which steadily passed the decision speed, raised its nose and climbed calmly into the sky.
Raphael turned and looked down at Route 19.
The illuminated lane was flashing lights of various colors and there was an alarming amount of traffic.
After the plane entered the clouds, the road and the bustling city in the distance disappeared from her sight.
This white gauze-like cloud always looked like a beautiful sky, but now... it was like a black cloth covering her eyes, making it impossible for her to see the way home.
Raphael could do nothing about it.
Where is their home? The building that had a strong family atmosphere last time has long since become a paradise for ELID infected creatures.
Seeing that the couch opposite her was empty, she got up and sat down opposite her. She wanted to make full use of it, so she took off her shoes and lay down on it for a while.
She now had a new need, which was to rest.
Raphael knew this well.
In 20 hours, they will face unfamiliar environments and new challenges.
Volume 2: The Battle of the South and the North
Chapter 1 Crumbs
As the plane landed, Rafael woke up.
She wanted to go down and take a walk, but then she thought that there was no point in getting off the plane and wandering around.
It was late at night. The captain was particularly talkative tonight.
He said the next time we would see land would be in 20 hours, and added that the whole of Europe was experiencing cold weather, so he advised travelers to prepare cold-proof clothing in advance.
These are all the effects of the heavens on the overall ruins of Mount Shinfu.
The airport ground staff was very efficient. They completed the aircraft's fuel refueling operation as quickly as possible and assisted the pilot in conducting a second external inspection before takeoff.
At about 1 a.m., business transport plane No. 87141 started up again.
Raphael saw the three little ones leaning against each other, lying on their backs on the sofa and sleeping very comfortably.
Previously, whether at their homes in the United States or at the forward base of the new border wall, when any of them needed to rest, there would always be someone left to keep watch.
