Chapter 503 Interception
After I explained the work, I originally wanted to go down to salvage the boxes, but just as we were about to start diving, a heat insulation board suddenly popped up on the main structure of the shuttle machine above. Then, under the surprised gaze of all of us, a white columnar object suddenly jumped out from under the heat insulation board. This thing soared into the sky with a long flame, and it was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out of our attack range.
"Damn, what is that?" Although my sight could still capture that thing, because the launch was too sudden, I didn't see clearly what that thing was.
I asked casually, but I didn't expect that I suddenly found a TV signal connected to the spiritual network, and I quickly discovered that the signal came from a missile hanging under the plane. That's right, what we see now is actually the scene seen by a missile.
This missile is actually not special. It is just an anti-ship missile equipped with a TV guidance module.
In fact, this kind of missile is a very backward weapon and is on the verge of elimination. The reason for installing this kind of missile on the plane is mainly because the target of the American and Japanese aircraft was pursuing an immigrant ship. The opponent's size is too large. The principle of killing air-to-air missiles determines that it is difficult for it to cause decent damage to objects of this size, and ordinary ground-to-ground weapons cannot hit the immigrant ship. In the end, after thinking about it, this kind of missile is the most suitable.
This anti-ship missile that is about to be eliminated is a remote-controlled missile. It captures dynamic images through the camera installed in front of the warhead and then transmits it back to the control unit. The control unit does not need to control it normally because this missile has a certain independent tracking ability. The real purpose of remote control is to help this ballistic identification bait. Because modern warships can launch a variety of bait devices to deceive self-guided missiles to attack the bait and miss the target. This is why this semi-artificial guidance mode appears. In this way, because someone is sitting on the other side, those bait bombs that deceive electronic devices are useless at all. After all, no matter how realistic the bait bomb is, it is impossible for even people to deceive them, so this kind of missile actually has a certain effect.
However, in recent times, the development of world military weapons has not been balanced, and the development of attack weapons is obviously much faster than that of defensive weapons. Therefore, the success rate of bait bombs has dropped significantly. In most cases, missiles with automatic guidance mode can accurately hit the target. Adding an additional artificial guidance method is prone to interference due to the remote control interface, so this missile is about to be eliminated. Even the production line has stopped producing finished products. At present, only a small number of maintenance components are still being produced, which is basically considered to be out of the sequence.
However, although this missile is almost eliminated, it has several very important advantages. The most important point is that it is an anti-ship missile with a huge destructive power. As long as it hits, it can cause huge damage to the immigrant ship. Other air-to-air missiles are too small to hit hundreds of rounds. However, general anti-ship missiles are basically automatically controlled. Their targets are set as surface ships, so they will automatically fly across the sea and implement ultra-low-altitude penetration. The result of this attack method is that this missile has no way to attack air targets. It is too late to modify the command temporarily, so it is useless. However, this missile has video guidance, so it can be operated manually, which is the advantage.
Originally, this thing was used to deal with the immigration ship, but because the immigration ship fell down by itself, the plane still carried the thing and didn't throw it away. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now. Of course, we were not going to use this missile to hit the aircraft, because we couldn't catch up at all. We just hope that this thing can provide a stable perspective for us to see what that thing is.
This plane with missiles was right in front of the aircraft. So after our eyes changed, the pilot immediately received the order to launch the missile. Our eyes moved with the missile, and because the missile and the aircraft were flying relatively, we soon approached the airspace near the aircraft and finally saw clearly what it was.
In fact, when we first saw that thing flying out, what we were most worried about was not that the enemy ran away. Instead, we were worried that the other party would struggle to dyingly and launch an atomic bomb or something, which would be a big trouble. But we were also very anxious at that time. Now we think about it, it was completely useless to worry because the shuttle itself was not the other party’s original thing, but was stolen from the Koreans. The Koreans were not sick, so why did they hang nuclear bombs on the shuttle? So, it was impossible for someone to have a weapon system on the shuttle.
That's the truth. Through the camera in front of the missile, we finally saw the full picture of that thing.
Although this thing looks like a missile, it is actually a small aircraft, or an escape compartment, which is more suitable.
This thing is obviously divided into two parts. The rear section is relatively long, more than twice as long as the front part, and the structure is very simple, just a cylindrical rocket thruster. Although the front half of it is shorter, it is relatively large, and the shape is a bit like a gourd, but the proportion of the front and rear two parts is not that exaggerated, but is relatively close. The slightly smaller part at the front end is the escape pod, which can be seated in it, and the thinner part in the middle is the connection device, which can be disconnected if necessary. The slightly larger protruding part at the back is the power system of the escape pod itself, and the rocket behind is used for emergency launch, and this part is the real flight force system.
This escape pod itself has the ability to land on the planet's surface independently through the atmosphere. Because it has wings and independent thrusters, this escape pod also has the ability to fly, and even after landing, it can still fly again, not a disposable item.
For humans, interstellar immigration is a way to drive a duck on the shelves, and there are too few resources that can bring over, so almost everything is multi-purpose. In addition to its own escape capsule function, this escape capsule is also an aircraft that can be used as a small vehicle after establishing a colony in the future. Although this thing cannot be used as a fighter, it is still possible to be used as a small transport aircraft or reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, this thing itself has been designed and used many times, not the kind of escape capsule that is simply thrown out and ignored.
The rocket behind this thing has a considerable power and it is loaded with a lot of fuel. After launching, it did not separate for a long time, but accelerated. The escape capsule increased its speed to five times the speed of sound in one breath. Then it flew towards our country.
Although both the American and Japanese planes chased after them, they obviously did not have enough speed, so they were pulled apart as they chased them.
In fact, it was also our fault. The other party could not escape. The reason why they could launch was because we supported the main cabin. The shuttle machine had lost its wings on one side. So it kept spinning around because it could not find the launch angle, so it never dared to launch. After all, if the launch angle was wrong when the shuttle machine was spinning around, they might hit the ground and fell to death as soon as they came out. So they knew that the shuttle machine could not be saved, but they dared to launch it. However, when the shuttle machine was implemented, in order to save the scientists that might exist in the box, we held the main structure of the shuttle machine. As a result, this time, we found the launch angle for the other party, so there was something like this now.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do? Chase!"
"What should I do here?"
"Mark the coordinates and let the guy behind us chase that thing."
Although our speed is not very good, we can't watch the other party run away. We can only start the thruster and fly up before talking about it.
In fact, we haven't been flying for a long time, because it is actually not far from our country's territorial waters. We were far away from the distance and couldn't get through, but now we are close to each other, but the first thing we arrived at was not a domestic plane, but a large ultra-high-speed penetration transport aircraft that took off from a secret base under the nearby sea.
This type of transport aircraft is not large in size and has a special shape. When it is folded, it looks like a super-large missile. If you don't say it in advance, you will never imagine that it is actually a transport aircraft.
This type of transport aircraft is transported by a special submarine and can be very close to the enemy's coast. Then it is launched underwater by a submarine, and of course it can also allow the submarine to surface and launch. The transport opportunity after launch immediately drills out of the sea, and then relies on the four sets of rocket boosters behind it to accelerate to more than eight times the speed of sound in a very short time, and then breaks into enemy airspace at an ultra-low altitude and goes deep into the enemy's rear and directly forcibly delivering the carrier unit.
Of course, this kind of thing is not prepared for conventional warfare, but belongs to special combat units. Its main function is to send special forces or special supplies into the rear of the enemy, which is considered a special combat weapon.
We were lucky. There was a transport submarine of this type nearby for maintenance, and we got the order immediately. However, because the time was too tight, we didn't bring the combat personnel, so we only had time to stuff a few combat robots into the transport aircraft. None of the humans went in anyway, because it took too long to wait for the combat personnel to gather. We did not lack combat power anyway, and what we lacked was the transport unit, so we asked them to come as fast as possible.
As soon as the submarine left the port, it directly launched a transport plane. After rushing out of the sea, the transport plane flew towards us twice. After picking us up, it flew into a circle and chased the escape pole and flew over.
The speed of the escape pod is only five times the speed of sound, and after the boost rocket is used up, the speed drops to twice the speed of sound. However, the transport plane we are riding on can reach 8 times the speed of sound, which is obviously much faster than the opponent. Unfortunately, our transport plane also relies on the rocket engine to accelerate, which means that the speed of 8 times is time-limited and cannot be maintained forever. However, the rocket engine on the transport plane obviously flies much longer than the opponent's booster, and even if the rocket engine is turned off, the transport plane still has a terrible speed of up to 4 times the speed of sound, which is much faster than the opponent's escape pod.
In fact, if we chase after us, the country is not idle. Several fighter jets took off urgently to intercept, and in addition, the possible location of the other party's landing site was also dispatched to intercept. The only thing that makes everyone more assured is that the opponent's escape pod cannot have a weapon system. The worst case is that the opponent's escape pod directly hits the building, which will be a little worse. After the other party lands, the opponent should have some weapons in his hand, but those who can be brought into the escape pod will definitely not be large weapons, and those individual equipment should not cause too much problem.
On the eastern coast of our country, there is a coastal area of a small city. There is a large square here. Because there is a beach in front of it, the scenery is good and the air is good, so there are some young couples here every day. Of course, it is only during the day, and at night it is a famous square dance center nearby, which is the world of the aunts.
It was noon at this time and the sun was better, so there were not many people by the sea. However, it was a marina after all, and there were still some people no matter how few people were.
Just as the people in the square were doing their own things, several military vehicles suddenly rushed over outside the square. These cars did not go to the entrance of the square at all, because there were rows of stone piers that prevented vehicles from entering, and the cars could not drive in at all. However, although these military vehicles did not rebel with these stone piers, it did not mean that they could not use the isolation belt.
The military armored vehicle that was leading the way directly entered the green belt at the edge of the square, then broke the stainless steel guardrail and rushed into the square from the flower bed. It completely ignored the steps of the circular depression area in the center of the square, rushed all the way, then rushed up from here, rushed to the platform by the beach in one breath and stopped.
Behind this armored trajectory vehicle are three large military vehicles. The front shapes are the same, but the structure inside the car behind is a bit different. The body of the car in front seems to be something very complicated, but because the structure is too chaotic, it cannot be seen. However, the two cars behind are more obvious, which are clearly a missile launcher and a transportation support vehicle.
This is actually a basic mobile air defense group. The off-road vehicle at the front is an armed reconnaissance vehicle and a pilot vehicle. The one with a very strange shape is actually a radar vehicle and a command vehicle. The one with a rotating launch frame is the missile launch vehicle. The one at the end looks very much like an ordinary truck, but the one with a crane in the middle is an ammunition and support vehicle, responsible for maintenance and ammunition replenishment.
After the four cars rushed into the square, several soldiers immediately jumped out of it, and then they saw that the complex formation on the top of the radar vehicle was slowly standing up. At the same time, the structure was slowly unfolding. Although it did not fully rise, a huge radar antenna structure could be seen. The missile car on the other side was also unfolding, but it was not developing a launch frame, but was unfolding the metal stabilized bracket. The launch vehicle was different from a radar vehicle. The radar did not produce a reaction force, so it could be used directly when it was vertically erected, but when the missile car was launched, it would have a great impact on the vehicle body. Therefore, it was necessary to unfold a set of metal stabilized brackets like a crane to lift the chassis up to keep the vehicle body stable.
Just as this action team was unfolding, in the distant sky, the person in the escape pod was also nervously looking at the coastline ahead because they didn't know what was waiting for them in front. Moreover, even though they were still struggling to death, they actually knew their destiny. (To be continued) i752
