Chapter 34 Intelligent Flight Control System Unlocked

After the practical exercise was completed, Lin Dong opened the detailed interface of the two model drones, checked that there were still two-thirds of the fuel remaining, and mentally estimated that no refueling was needed.

The faster the model drone flies and the higher it flies, the more fuel it consumes.

The new model drone has a larger fuel tank, and if it cruises at 1.5M, its range on a full tank can exceed 5000 kilometers.

However, after passing through the thermal barrier and critical airspace, and flying less than 500 kilometers, one-third of the fuel was consumed.

The fuel was checked and found to be fine, and all systems were checked and found to be fine.

Lin Dong opened the meteorological cloud map of the Chengdu area and finally circled an uninhabited area with clear skies and no fog, 150 kilometers away from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base.

"Uncle Wang, the battlefield for the exercise is centered on this location, and the entire area within an 80-kilometer radius is the battlefield. Send them the latitude and longitude coordinates and tell them that we need to use drones for live streaming and video recording."

As he spoke, Lin Dong opened the control interface and typed a few lines of code.

hum-

In the hangar of Laboratory 78, the hot 001 from three years ago, carrying a high-speed, high-definition camera, glided out. The next second, its engine spewed blue flames, and it glided a hundred meters before leaping into the air.

"Live-streaming and recording?"

Wang Xingguo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Are they going to go this far? The military pilots must be screaming and going crazy."

"And this drone, you upgraded it too?" Wang Xingguo said, pointing to the camera mounted on the receding Hot 001 drone.

With its opening diameter and length of three meters, the rice cooker looks like a drone carrying a super bomb.

"This could very well be a revolutionary live-fire exercise, so there's a need to record it."

"As for this drone, it's currently filming number 001."

"The camera uses high-precision dynamic zoom capture technology. The lens can directly capture Jupiter's Great Red Spot, with a shooting frame rate of 1 frames per second and a cost of 900 million."

Lin Dong explained, "It's just that the weight is a bit excessive. This camera weighs 150 kilograms and can't withstand an overload of more than 2G, so it can only be used for filming."

"900 million..."

Wang Xingguo opened his mouth wide, then suddenly turned to look at Lin Weiliang: "Engineer Lin, is your phone's camera resolution that high?"

"..."

Lin Weiliang's lips twitched, but he remained silent and did not answer.

Ever since he learned that Lin Dong casually made a motor and registered a patent that sold for hundreds of millions, he has become numb to money.

Given this kid's current temperament, if it's something he likes or wants, he wouldn't even blink an eye if it cost him 900 million to customize a camera, let alone 9000 million.

"How do you maintain communication with this drone? What if the communication gets interfered with and interrupted?" Wang Xingguo became interested at this point, sent the latitude and longitude coordinates to the military region, and walked up to ask curiously.

As a chief engineer of his generation, a genius who could do calculus at the age of twelve, his IQ was not low. At this time, he had already guessed that Lin Dong's two families must have a way to deal with the interruption of remote control communication for their combat model drones.

While there are solutions for real-world model aircraft, how can drones used for live streaming cope with communication interruptions?

Laser Communications.

Lin Dong didn't hide anything, pointing to a sophisticated piece of equipment under the antenna on the roof of the laboratory building: "300 kilometers away, two-way speed of 800Mbps, which is enough to meet the needs of live shooting."

Laser communication technology is nothing mysterious.

In his previous life, before his rebirth, the domestic research team had already achieved two-way laser communication at a rate of 1Gbps over a distance of 4 kilometers between space and ground, and it had been stable for 3 hours.

Although I was reborn back to more than ten years ago, the performance and precision of the laser equipment I use now are not as good as those of lasers from more than ten years later.

But with the help of Soul Vision, designing a laser communication device with a range of 300 kilometers and a two-way speed of 800Mbps is still a simple matter.

The biggest advantage of laser communication is its stability. As long as the laser can reach the communication point, communication can be established without being affected by communication interference.

"300 kilometers, 800 Mbps..."

Wang Xingguo's eyes widened, and the next moment, as if he had thought of something, his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a look of surprise.

"They're here!"

Lin Dong ignored Wang Xingguo's reaction, but suddenly seemed to realize something and opened the detection interface of the model drone.

Two radar signal lights were seen rapidly approaching each other, while the high-speed cameras all around the model drone captured the corresponding images.

"Two J-10 fighter jets."

Lin Dong carefully examined the radar data and quickly identified the type of the approaching fighter jets.

It's easy to tell them apart. Currently, only the J-20 fighter jet in China is a stealth fighter, while the J-10 fighter jet does not yet have stealth capabilities. You can tell the difference between the two by looking at radar data and photographic footage.

Di-

At that moment, the drone suddenly received a public frequency wireless communication from within the military system, and a steady voice rang out through the speakers.

"Comrades from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, my name is Falcon. May I ask how we plan to conduct live-fire exercises?"

"Dad, you tell them to follow the exercise rules: if the radar continuously illuminates the target for 5 seconds within 50 kilometers and for 8 seconds within 150 kilometers, and there is no continuous and effective maneuvering to evade, the ACMI exercise system can determine that the target has been shot down."

I'm only equipped with laser weapons. A hit within five seconds can damage the aircraft. I'll lower the power; if the hit lasts longer than five seconds, I'll determine whether to damage or shoot it down based on the location of the hit.

Lin Dong quickly answered, then turned on the microphone and gestured for Lin Weiliang to speak.

Unfortunately, he hasn't reached the stage of vocal transformation yet; his voice is still too immature and lacks any sense of authority.

Lin Weiliang nodded and replied according to Lin Dong's description.

"Brother Hai, these rules are very fair!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Chen Bing, who was acting as a wingman, was somewhat surprised when he heard this rule. "They didn't restrict our use of electronic suppression."

"Even if there are no restrictions, don't rush. Listen to the commander, accompany the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) comrades for a couple of laps first," Zhang Hai replied solemnly, then opened the public communication channel to respond: "Falcon received. The relevant rules have been set. Good luck to the CAC comrades."

"I wish you all the best."

Less than two seconds after the message was sent, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group responded: "By the way, this live-fire exercise was being filmed and broadcast live by aerial cameras."

What?!

Is there still a live stream?

Zhang Hai paused for a moment, then glanced around and quickly spotted a drone hovering outside the battlefield.

The pilot's top-notch vision even allowed him to see the reflection from the lens on the drone's belly.

"That's outrageous! They're even doing a live stream!"

"Soldiers, get them!"

Zhang Hai moved the control stick, the fighter jet tilted, and the moment it entered the battlefield, it activated the fire control radar, accurately locking onto two black drones in front.

[Beep beep beep—Locked! Locked!]

In Laboratory 78, a red warning box suddenly popped up on the large screen. Lin Dong's expression remained unchanged. He pulled the control stick sharply with his right hand to maneuver and evade the radar lock. Then he quickly entered lines of code and a 48-digit verification password.

[Beep—Intelligent flight control system unlocked, Super Air Combat Mode activated!]

[Hot Target No. 2/3 has detected an enemy target. Initiate coordinated counterattack immediately!]
