Chapter 791 Easier than playing games?
In the huge Area B test site named "Eye of God", the frenzy after the excitement gradually subsided, replaced by a deeper emotion mixed with awe and shock.
General Chen and Commander Jiang Chaoyang, two generals of the Republic who have spent half their lives in the hail of bullets and are accustomed to seeing all kinds of steel behemoths, are now like two children who have entered the Science and Technology Museum for the first time. They are fascinated by the "Wuzhen-10" strategic reconnaissance drone that has landed quietly on the ground and seems to come from outer space.
General Chen stretched out his rough, calloused hands, which had once held guns and wielded knives, and carefully and almost reverently stroked the cold and smooth dark gray body of the drone.
The perfect streamlined design and the seamless joining process made him feel a beauty and impact that came from the absolute power of science and technology.
"Good stuff... really good stuff..." He kept sighing, as if he was touching a rare treasure.
However, after the initial shock and joy faded, a more complex thought, that of a professional soldier, began to emerge in his mind.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the drone twice, with a slightly regretful and self-deprecating sigh on his face.
"Ah, this person is really ungrateful."
He shook his head and said to Jiang Chaoyang and Fang Yu beside him.
"Logically, with a 'Sky Eye' that can see the entire battlefield and expose all enemy deployments, one should be quite content."
"In the past, this was a magical artifact that we couldn't even imagine."
He paused, changed the subject, and a glimmer of a soldier's unique desire for greater firepower flashed in his eyes.
"But, you know, the human heart can't stand random speculation."
"Looking at such a great platform, I always think, how great would it be if it could do more?"
Then he turned his head, looked at Fang Yu with burning eyes, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Xiao Fang, tell me, it would be great if this precious drone could detect the enemy in the sky and then, without a word, deliver a shot of 'Justice from Heaven' to them..."
"That's the truest form of 'discover and destroy,' in one go!"
After listening to General Chen's words full of "simple" military ideas, Commander Jiang Chaoyang nodded in agreement.
"Old Chen is right. On the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting. By the time a reconnaissance plane finds a target and transmits the intelligence back to headquarters, headquarters will mobilize artillery or attack aircraft to attack. By the time this happens, the enemy has already moved on."
"If reconnaissance and strike can be integrated into the same platform, combat efficiency will be revolutionary!"
However, what they didn't expect was that after listening to their "fantastic" fantasies, Fang Yu's face not only did not show any embarrassment, but instead revealed an unfathomable and indifferent smile.
"Haha," he chuckled, his eyes filled with admiration for the two old generals, "Old Chen is indeed a veteran in the army. His vision is indeed venomous."
He deliberately kept it a secret and said slowly, "I'm going to keep this feature a secret and give you two a surprise at the end."
"I didn't expect you to reveal this secret in just a few words..."
"Hmm?" General Chen was also stunned when he heard this. He asked in surprise, "What did I see? I just said it casually, just thinking about it."
"You're not just imagining things." Fang Yu's smile widened. "Hasn't it been clear that this 'WZ-10' was designed from the outset as a reconnaissance and strike drone?"
"Reconnaissance and attack in one?!"
This military term, which was extremely new at the time, once again stunned the two generals.
"That's right." Fang Yu nodded. He walked to the huge drone and pointed to the two seemingly inconspicuous hanging points below the middle section of its broad wings, which were perfectly integrated with the body.
"See, my two commanders?" he explained. "Although this 'WZ-10' sacrificed a significant portion of its payload in pursuit of stealth and long flight time, it still features two standard multi-purpose composite pylons beneath its wings."
"Although its take-off weight is not large, it cannot carry heavy aerial bombs. However,"
A hint of pride flashed in Fang Yu's eyes.
"There is absolutely no problem mounting two of our newly developed rocket pods, each with 12 miniature air-to-ground missiles."
"Although these micro-missiles are not very powerful individually, they use advanced tandem armor-piercing warheads and infrared imaging guidance, and are specifically designed to attack the top armor of tanks and armored vehicles. They are more than enough to 'open the box' of the Eagle Sauce M1A1 main battle tank."
He spread his hands and added, "Today is its first high-altitude reconnaissance performance test. For safety reasons, I removed the weapons."
"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Chen, would see through it at once."
silence.
The command vehicle fell into deathly silence again.
General Chen and Jiang Chaoyang stood there blankly like two statues under a petrification spell, their brains completely shut down after suffering a third and even more violent impact.
Their brains are working hard to process the information they have just received.
A "Sky Eye" that can fly continuously for dozens of hours, with a reconnaissance range of thousands of kilometers and reconnaissance accuracy reaching the centimeter level. It can not only see, but also fight?!
what does this mean?
This means that on future battlefields, a chilling scene may appear.
A WZ-10, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, silently conducted continuous, all-weather surveillance of enemy positions."
"When it finds a valuable target—such as an enemy main battle tank that has just emerged from cover, or a newly built enemy command post—it doesn't need to report to the rear or wait for any fire support."
"The operator who controls it only needs to gently and gracefully select the target on the screen in the command vehicle thousands of miles away, and then press a red "launch" button.
In a few minutes, several micro-missiles that cannot be intercepted from the nine heavens will fall silently from the sky like the scythe of the god of death, completely wiping out the target and everything around it from the earth.
The whole process was clean, neat, efficient and deadly.
It's even filled with a certain unreal "beauty" that feels like playing a video game...
