According to Long Yujing's plan, she, Chu Di, and Tao Bao were supposed to borrow a space fighter at the military airport of Zhiyun Military Academy and fly directly to Ceres, near the Huomu asteroid belt, and meet with the major forces gathered there.
The main forces of the Alliance converged.
But at the Zhiyun Military Academy Airport, Tao Bao suddenly suggested that contemporary space fighters were not suitable for carrying out this rescue mission, even if the intelligent systems and all electronic equipment inside the fighters were removed.
He put forward this point of view because considering the existence of aliens, if this mutation in the asteroid belt is really a trap set by aliens, then the gravitational field and magnetic field of the asteroid belt must be for the current solar system.
Human battleships and fighter planes.
Magnetic fields interfere with telecommunications and smart devices, but gravitational fields can act on the shape of objects. The shapes of today's space battleships and space fighter planes are too easy to target. Even if Tao Bao designs a gravitational field, it can be done without aliens.
The battleship or fighter plane loses the ability to fly.
Long Yujing did not dare to doubt Tao Bao's judgment. The post on the Galaxy War Forum had already proved Tao Bao's authority in the field of astrophysics. He asked urgently: "What should we do?"
At this time, manufacturing a fighter jet that is different from the current model on-site, no matter how fast it is, cannot be completed in a day or two. Because the machines and procedures on the production line of the aircraft manufacturer are dead, everything needs to be changed if they are to be changed.
Tao Bao said: "I have a way, but I have to go back to the cave once."
Long Yujing's eyes lit up and he said: "You are saying that time flows faster in the cave than on the surface. You can go there..."
Only halfway through her words, her eyes dimmed, "No, we can't produce machines on the surface there, so what's the use of going there?"
Tao Baodao: "Sister Yujing, you are overthinking. That's not what I meant."
Chu Di urged: "Then what do you mean? Just say no?"
Tao Baodao said: "I only need the spirit stone engine in the cave world, and then we only need to find an old-fashioned aircraft from before the Galaxy era on the surface. I can guide the modification work, and it can be completed in half a day at most.
"
After Chu Di heard this, he began to wonder if Tao Bao made up such a rhetoric because he was concerned about the black technology in the cave. However, he would not say it out loud. Saying it would show his distrust of his friends.
Without saying a word, Long Yujing immediately took Tao Bao and Chu Di back to the underground cave sea palace, and removed a spirit stone engine from a speedboat.
The Lingshi engine is not large in size. The most it can hold is a washbasin filled with water. The key is its fuel - Lingshi. Tao Bao requires at least one ton of Lingshi - a piece the size of a pig.
Stone.
They returned to the surface again with the engine and spirit stones, and came out of Zhiyun Military Academy without landing. They took Tao Bao and Chu Di directly to the Military Museum of the Earth Alliance.
Fighters from before the Galaxy Age can only be found in military museums.
The energy of the Long Group is really great, and I don’t know who Long Yujing has contacted. Anyway, she can go wherever she wants, with green lights all the way, and she can fly at low altitudes on the earth.
Not only that, it seemed that she would not be rejected by anyone she wanted to ask for help. Not only was the door of the Military Museum open to her, but there were already several mechanics waiting for her arrival at the museum.
In the hall of the Military Museum, Tao Bao looked at the dazzling array of various aircraft from various eras and asked Long Yujing: "Sister Yujing, do you want to go to Ceres?"
Long Yujing said: "Of course I'm going to save my own sister, how could I not go?"
Tao Bao pointed to an old bomber Tu-2 and said: "Then let's choose this one. It has four seats."
The Tu-2 bomber is a twin-engine bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union. The prototype successfully flew for the first time in January 1941. In November 1942, the aircraft was delivered to the Soviet frontline troops for the first time. 1943
Mass production began in 1949-1950, when the then Soviet Big Brother sold a batch of Tu-2s to the People's Liberation Army.
Old-fashioned aircraft and space fighters are very different in shape. The main reason is that old-fashioned aircraft are the result of aerodynamics, while space fighters of the Galaxy era basically do not consider aerodynamics. The two nest propeller engines of Figure 2 have no effect at all in space.
But precisely because of this, its shape will not be targeted by the gravitational field of the asteroid belt.
The mechanics waiting in the museum were all technical experts. Under Tao Bao's guidance, they quickly installed the spirit stone engine and spirit stones into the belly of the cabin, which took less than an hour in total.
After the modification was completed, Long Yujing looked at this old machine worriedly and asked Tao Bao: "Do you want to add some weapons?"
Obviously, the two 20mm aerial cannons and four 12.7mm machine guns equipped on the original Picture-2 are completely useless in the asteroid belt it is about to rush to, and the magazine under the fuselage that can load 3 tons of aerial bombs is also empty.
, how could the plane in the military museum be loaded with bombs? Wouldn’t it be a time bomb?
Tao Bao shook his head and said: "No need to pretend, it's useless to pretend."
Any weapons and defense equipment on modern space fighters are closely related to artificial intelligence and electronic instruments. Even if it is manually operated, the buttons are connected by wires and electronic components.
Such weapons and defenses will immediately fail in the gravitational field of the asteroid belt, so it is better not to install them.
A military museum is not an airport, and old-fashioned aircraft like the Tu-2 do not have vertical take-off and landing capabilities, so after the modification, Long Yujing contacted the Space Force and sent a special vehicle to tow the aircraft to a nearby military airport.
At the military airport, Chu Di, who had never touched an old-fashioned aircraft, flew the Tu-2 into the blue sky.
On the ground, a group of military soldiers and several mechanics looked up to the sky, looking at the swaying old bomber with doubts in their eyes.
Why is this woman flying a plane into the sky with her two children? Is she flying for fun?
Even though the speed at which Chu Di learned to fly the old aircraft was amazing, and even though the modifications guided by Tao Bao allowed the Tu-2 to obtain power without burning fuel and producing no engine roar, it still could not dilute people's doubts about this test flight.
Due to design reasons, the maximum ceiling of the Tu-2 is only 9,000 meters. In the airspace below this altitude, there are no flying objects to accompany them.
"Who is this woman? She really knows how to play."
"I don't know. Anyway, she is the daughter of a big shot."
People were talking, and the Tu-2 bomber in their sight became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a gray dot and disappeared.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, in the cockpit of the Tu-2, Chu Di asked Tao Bao, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat: "Can it go any faster? If we fly to Ceres at this speed, we will both become uncles."
Tao Baodao: "You can only accelerate when you leave the atmosphere. You must not push the throttle lever now."
The outer shell of Figure-2 is made of hard aluminum and cannot withstand the friction with the atmosphere caused by excessive speed, so Tao Bao always lets Chu Di control the speed.
Long Yujing sat behind Chu Di and Tao Bao. This was the gunner's position in the Tu-2 crew. According to modern car riding standards, this position belonged to the leadership seat.
At this time, Long Yujing could not attend to discussing flight technology with Chu Tao and Chu Tao. She had already contacted Long Er, who was gathered at the counter-rebellion coalition operations center near the asteroid belt, through her personal terminal.
Long Er said: According to the announcement from Marshal Steve, the commander-in-chief of the combat center, in the past 17 Earth days, 34 space fighters with electronic equipment removed have been sent by the counter-rebellion coalition, and all of them have fallen into the Huomu asteroid belt.
