Chapter 1287 It's Like a Computer Game

320 kilometers above the sky.

An aerospace plane about the size of two Xiaguangs slowly stowed its open magazine, cruising steadily at the edge of the atmosphere.

"...This is the Kunpeng, and all the weapons on board have been fired."

"This is the ground command center. It is confirmed that the target has been hit. The ground battlefield will be taken over by friendly forces. Please return immediately."

"receive."

Four huge electric propulsion engines pulled out a long and narrow light blue arc in the deep sky. Driven by the high-temperature plasma, the giant bird named "Kunpeng" began to return to the ground.

Battlefield intelligence has been taken over by military observation satellites to provide information services to friendly forces on the ground. At the same time, the coordinates of enemy units and the combat path processed by the Xinghai-1 quantum computer are sent to the attack drone terminal on the ground.

At the same time, the headquarters of the Aerospace Forces is far away in Jinling.

Standing next to a large screen, Li Gaoliang was pointing to the various parameters and marks on the screen, introducing to Lu Zhou...or showing off their modern battlefield command system.

"Through satellite shooting, supercomputing processing, and real-time rendering of battlefield images, we can build a three-dimensional and digital model of the battlefield, and make the most efficient use of each combat unit and each available station resource."

"As you can see now, the red flag is Army B, and the green flag is Army A...that is, our friendly army. Of course, the equipment of the Somali army is too backward, and they don't trust us that much, so we command without them."

Lu Zhou: "What about those with a cross?"

Li Gaoliang: "Confirm the targets that have been killed or have been destroyed."

Looking at the red dots that turned into gray crosses one after another, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and sighed softly.

"War goes on like this, it's like a computer game."

"It's much simpler than computer games." Li Gaoliang grinned. "Computer games also need to consider balance, but this game doesn't need it. Before launching attack drones, our air-space strategic bombers have already dropped on the battlefield." Sending 11.6 tons of ammunition has basically destroyed their defense facilities. If they behaved more tenaciously..."

Lu Zhou: "Send an orbital airborne brigade?"

Li Gaoliang shook his head and said, "Of course it is to repeat the previous steps."

Lu Zhou: "..."

OK.

According to this style of play, basically no troop can withstand it, right?

Of course, although this sentence is easy to say, it is actually quite difficult.

Rather than saying that this competition is about military technology, it is better to say that it is a test of the comprehensive aerospace strength.

It can send weapons to high and low orbits at a very low cost, and complete a reliable cruise or even drop bombs. At present, only the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has mastered this cutting-edge technology.

For the vast majority of countries on earth, they may not necessarily have the ability to independently launch satellites, let alone sending weapons to such a high orbit and throwing them down.

Seeing the red dots on the screen disappearing and shrinking, Lu Zhou suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.

Would it be the same feeling if aliens attacked the earth?

Put the starship on the orbit at the edge of the atmosphere, throw the bombs down like dumplings, and throw a bunch of smart soldiers or clone soldiers or something like that when it's almost blown up.

"...Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to even build an aerospace strategic bomber."

Hearing this sentence, Li Gaoliang smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Thanks to your fusion battery and electric propulsion engine, it officially entered service at the beginning of this year."

"easy to use?"

"That's definitely useful."

Lu Zhou nodded, but he felt a little complicated in his heart.

Although he knows that warfare is one of the elements of civilization, in fact he doesn't really like his technology being used on the battlefield.

However, if you think about it from another angle, any prosperity needs the necessary force to protect it. As long as their existence defends peace and makes the world develop in a better direction, it seems that it is not a good thing?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's heart is no longer entangled in these trivial issues, and he is completely relaxed.

"However, although weapons are getting better and better, there will be no small troubles afterwards," Li Gaoliang continued, looking at the battle situation on the screen that has entered the final stage, "We will recover the dropped drone hives through diplomatic channels, and return There are those drones that were damaged in the battle...even if they are just parts, we have to retrieve them through Beidou positioning."

"Besides, there is the promised post-war reconstruction, and a series of other problems. We can't be like the Yankees, leaving a mess and leaving. In short, war is always As a last resort, we don't want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Does it count this time?"

"Of course." Looking at Lu Zhou, Li Gaoliang grinned and patted him on the shoulder, "If someone dares to touch our Professor Lu, if you don't give him some color, then there will be a lot of trouble?"

...

Ethiopian border.

An officer in a US military uniform holds a binoculars in his hands and looks out at the flickering fires on the distant foothills.

After a while, he squeezed out the word "Shet" from the corner of his mouth that was dry and chapped by the wind and sand, and put away the telescope in his hand.

Under the sweep of the swarm drones, the warlords and stragglers lurking in dangerous places have little room to fight back. The whole battle is basically a one-sided massacre.

This is probably the first time that artificial intelligence has been put into the ground battlefield on such a large scale.

Although the Pentagon has tested similar equipment before, so far the relevant research is still in the laboratory stage, at least he has not heard of any particularly big progress.

But now, they didn't expect their technology to be so advanced.

Not to mention this group of militants who have never seen the world, even if he was standing next to the Humvee, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with these locust-like monsters for a while.

Standing next to him was the Ethiopian military officer who accompanied him to the border for observation. He also held a telescope in his hand, and the shocked look on his face hadn't changed since ten minutes ago.

"...I still don't understand."

The American officer glanced at him.

"I don't want to understand what?"

"Let's not talk about their drones. Where did their air strikes... come from?" When he said this, the Ethiopian officer couldn't help but write a trace of fear on his face, "Our radar Only a few bomb-like things were seen on the ground, and there was no sign of the plane at all."

"It's not just that you didn't see it," the U.S. military officer said with a complicated expression, "We didn't see it on our radar either."

The expression on the Ethiopian officer's face moved slightly.

He originally thought that the radar on his side was too backward. He didn't expect that the US military base stationed in his own territory hadn't observed the signal of the plane flying over this airspace.

"Could it be...they have already developed a stealth aircraft that can ignore all radars?"

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Hua Guo's aircraft can come and go freely in the aviation identification zones of various countries?

This is too scary...

The American officer shook his head and said.

"An aircraft that completely disappears from radar cannot exist, and even the most advanced materials are bound to leave a mark on our phased array radar."

"Then why—"

"If you think about it from another angle, maybe they didn't enter our air defense identification zone at all."

"How can this be?"

"Nothing is impossible. The most advanced aircraft can only fly to an altitude of 20 kilometers, and the maximum airspace altitude of each country is only about 110 kilometers. Beyond this limit, radar has no meaning at all. Even if it can be seen, there is no anti-aircraft missile. can hit."

"you mean……"

"...I'm just guessing, there's no evidence." Looking up at the gradually twilight sky, the US military officer's brows were frowned by a touch of melancholy.

"Just from a logical point of view, since they can drop people from high orbits intact, there's no reason why they can't drop something else from there."
