Chapter 533 - Lao Mei’s Plan
The convoy quickly entered the core area of Area 51, but except for a few dusty buildings, there were no high-tech items and buildings beyond imagination. It seemed as if it was an abandoned farm. Inconspicuous.
Perhaps the most eye-catching thing is the dry salt-alkali land of Groom Lake not far away. It looks like a piece of snow, full of cracks. It is barren of grass all year round and is extremely flat. It is simply the foundation of a natural airport runway.
Perhaps the Americans use this place as a secret air force base because they consider that this dry Groom Lake is extremely suitable for the take-off and landing of very large groups of fighter jets.
Where the bus finally stopped, Lin Mo and the experts could see many American soldiers carrying live ammunition outside. Some of them were even wearing individual tactical armors. They could still see them in the shadows of tall buildings. to the shadow of large mobile armor.
There are also combat robots.
Seeing this, everyone felt the unusual side of Area 51.
One after another, the buses all gathered together and drove into the special parking lot of Area 51. Not only the aviation experts from Asia and Australia, but also the aviation expert teams from Europe, South America and other countries were not separated for a long time. , arrived at almost the same time period.
The gold dragon evolution watch trembled slightly, as if the mood was agitated. Through the spiritual communication of the Dragon God Contract, he told Lin Mo that there was another mystery twenty-five meters underground. The man-made space with several layers was so huge that it even Even those inconspicuous surfaces hide the existence of several large mechanical doors and elevators.
There are heavily armed combat robots buried in several locations, ready for action at any time. Their combat effectiveness is a killer in both air and ground. Even the main battle tanks installed by the US military have to stay away.
Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!~~
The dogs brought by the American soldiers immediately stood up from the ground and made intimidating pounces on these uninvited guests.
The extremely loud barking made the experts' faces change slightly. Such a fierce dog will not rush out and bite people.
The bus drivers who were restricted from getting off the bus were all military attachés from the embassy. There was anger on his face. The people who got off the car were all valuable Chinese scientists. If they were frightened, can you Americans bear all the responsibility?
The aviation experts from Japan, South Korea and other countries who got off the other buses all showed fear on their faces. These dogs barked really fiercely. It would be terrible if they pounced on them and bit them. While they were lining up, , all of which were carefully avoided.
The old Americans are giving a warning to all visitors, warning them to be more honest in this sensitive area and not to act rashly.
"Hmph!~" A cold light flashed in the dragon knight's eyes. The murderous aura spread out.
Humans may not notice anything. Those sensitive animals noticed something was wrong at the first moment. Several military dogs whined and backed away desperately, as if they had seen something terrifying.
The U.S. soldiers didn't know what happened to the military dogs, and they vaguely felt something was wrong. He raised the [wooden warehouse] support to look around, especially in the direction of the bus. He was alert and secretly on guard, scanning the expert teams coming from various countries from time to time.
The panic of the military dogs became even more chaotic. Regardless of the scolding of the American soldiers holding them, they backed away desperately, as if they would be killed if they stayed for one second longer. They kept whining and dragged the soldiers in charge of the military dogs with them. Exited dozens of meters away.
It doesn't look like a well-trained military dog at all. It's more like a frightened native dog, and the training in the past has been thrown away.
The rest of the American soldiers looked at each other, what happened to these dogs?
"Hmph, you're a bunch of weaklings who bully the weak. If you scream again, you'll drag them all to the dog meat stew pot!"
An expert from Shen Fei angrily expressed everyone's thoughts.
These dogs are all good meat. There was a bit of green color in the eyes of the experts.
Approximately a thousand experts from major airlines around the world arrived at Area 51.
Here, there is almost the most luxurious lineup in the human aviation industry in the world. If any bold guy puts a cloud bomb or something here, human aviation technology will be set back at least ten years.
However, every country still has not sent out all its best aircraft designers. Except for Japan and South Korea, other countries have only sent out a part of their own aviation experts to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket and risking a real accident.
There were nearly a thousand people, and the place was crowded and dark.
In order to facilitate management, they were specially divided into ten groups and began to issue visit badges to facilitate the separation of visits.
After getting off the bus, another security check was conducted on site. The security management of Area 51 military is very strict. Even personnel from the organizer Boeing and other local airlines are no exception. They also have to line up for detailed and strict security checks. The scanner searches carefully from top to bottom, even the hair.
Everyone’s large luggage is required to remain on the bus, and all personal belongings such as electronic products, keys, wallets, and coins must be taken out. No metal products can be left behind and must be placed in special storage areas. paper box.
For example, Americans will provide corresponding clothing for replacement such as metal buckles and metal belt heads, which is extremely meticulous.
Presumably, Boeing and the U.S. government have been under considerable pressure to temporarily open Area 51, the famous U.S. military strategic restricted area, to airlines around the world, and have made detailed preparations just in case.
Even if experts from various countries come here, they can only see what Boeing and the US government have arranged for them to see, but they can't see what they shouldn't see, even if this land is full of secrets.
Once placed, it was sealed and publicly sealed on site. The sealing personnel were as skilled as the best postal company employees. It seems that this is not the first time that Area 51 has done this. Boeing Company chose the place well and allocated the corresponding manpower and material resources. It's ready-made.
The surface of the cartons is wrapped with sealing tape, affixed with the holder's photo and badge number, and then stacked on the temporary shelf area.
The gold coin was not spared this time. The huge electromagnetic reaction directly pulled out the giant dragon, without even being able to hide it with a metal wire. It was thrown into a dark cardboard box and marked with a regulation code for easy retrieval.
The American soldier smiled meaningfully at Lin Mo. Lin Mo shrugged and expressed his helplessness. It was not that he did not want to bring this giant dragon to the world, but that the world was too dangerous.
Although the fragile cardboard box can protect against villains but not gentlemen, the extremely powerful metal dragon cannot attack it. If it were a metal box, it could sneak out without leaving any traces, but it did not restore the cardboard box. Ability, as long as a hole is broken, it will immediately cause huge trouble to himself and Lin Mo. Even a fool can understand that something has slipped out.
What's more, every time one is packaged, the packaging video will be completely recorded, and the Americans will not leave even a loophole.
Lin Mo could clearly feel the overwhelming resentment of the golden dragon that was stuffed into the cardboard box.
Ten expert teams entered the two conjoined hangars specially vacated in Area 51 in batches, where four FA-xx prototypes were parked.
In order to win the order for the sixth-generation main fighter jet in one fell swoop and in retaliation for Lockheed Martin’s use of the F-35 to snatch orders for the fifth-generation carrier-based aircraft and the fourth-generation main fighter jet, Boeing invested heavily in the fa-xx fighter jet. A lot of effort was put into trying to pass the test with absolute advantage.
In the hangar, expert groups from various countries saw the real body of FA-XX, which was the result of more than ten years of efforts of Boeing Company.
A warning isolation zone one meter close to the fuselage allowed experts from various countries to take a close look at the twin-engine body, which is about 21 meters long and has a concave-edged triangle.
As in the legend, there are no dual vertical tails, and the body seems to be a flat surface, using a wing-body fusion structure.
Although the role of the vertical tail in turning aircraft and change of direction maneuvers is not great, in the barrel roll avoidance maneuvers often used by pilots, the role of the vertical tail is quite obvious. It can avoid losing control due to excessive turning angles, but it is also beneficial to the aircraft body. stability.
However, the replacement of the vertical tail was also within the expectations of experts.
Boeing uses omnidirectional vector nozzles. Although the engine model is unknown, judging from the diameter of the nozzle, the output power should not be weaker than the F136 afterburning turbofan engine, and the thrust of a single engine will exceed 210 kilonewtons.
It seems that the vector propulsion system is not only loved by Russia and other Asian countries, but also by the Americans. It is also paying more and more attention to this technology that can bring out more engine performance. Since it was applied to the F-22, it has become more and more out of control, and even The F-35 uses vector tail spray technology to achieve vertical takeoff and landing, and now it simply replaces the vertical tail.
It has to be said that if Boeing uses vector technology to compensate for the lack of the vertical tail on the fa-xx airframe, the maneuverability of the airframe will be significantly improved.
As experts in the industry who specialize in this field, although there are no testing equipment and technical manuals, a lot of important information can still be seen from visual inspection.
The length of the fuselage is longer than that of the F-22. It uses a dual-cockpit that is integrated into the fuselage. It is more spacious than conventional fighter jets. It is not as cramped as most fighter cockpits, so tall Western pilots can be very comfortable. Sit inside.
A longer body not only means more fuel capacity and long-term flight capabilities, but perhaps Boeing's self-proclaimed 50-hour endurance is also based on size as its greatest confidence, and the more advantage is that the built-in weapons bay of the body can have More ammunition capacity.
Although ammunition can also be mounted under the wings, the missile does not have stealth performance. No matter what kind of ammunition is mounted, it will destroy the overall stealth capability of the fa-xx.
Area 51 provides free paper and pens on site for experts to write and draw, but these items and recorded information are not allowed to be taken out.
Lin Mo and Professor Yan looked at each other after seeing Boeing hypocritically handing over pen and paper. It turned out that the old American had indeed made a good calculation.
