#735 - Chapter 735: China's satellites? Kill them all! J-40 shows up, fights lasers!
Equipment check…
Rocket fueling…
Pre-launch preparation…
Finally!
From a little after ten at night, busy until nearly four in the morning.
“Mr. President, everything is ready!”
“I want to see the pilots!”
“Yes!”
Not long after.
Two pilots in spacesuits entered.
Albert began solemnly, speaking with righteous indignation: “Gentlemen, you are the pride of North America. This launch is even more related to the nation’s core interests and strategy—you are the heroes of North America!”
Various pep talks.
Various adrenaline boosts.
Finally, he told the pilots that they would not only test the performance of the fighter jet, but also test-fire laser weapons.
The target was a satellite.
China’s satellite!
After the pilots left, the launch entered its final stage, and Albert became even more excited.
He had waited so long, finally waiting for this day!
He had dreamed for so long, finally realizing his dream!
He couldn’t help but recall the past: Back then, China repeatedly used armed satellites to destroy a large number of North American military satellites, which was extremely hateful. But North America didn’t have space-based weapons, so what could they do?
The first time, they were deceived by China and blamed it on aliens.
The second time…
They finally discovered the truth.
But North America still had no way to retaliate!
Was there evidence?
No!
Even if there was evidence, so what?
China’s armed satellites could launch high-frequency pulses!
As a result, the satellites later launched by North America were equipped with pulse shielding technology, but the other side, in addition to high-frequency pulses, even had robotic arms—directly approaching and tearing apart North American satellites!
Recalling the past, Albert first sighed, then clenched his fists.
Finally, it was North America’s turn to strike!
Armed satellites?
…
Shen Fei.
Inside the test flight station.
Chen Hao also had two pilots standing in front of him.
No pep talks.
No adrenaline boosts.
“Your mission is not just to eliminate the enemy, but also…” Chen Hao announced the second mission.
Damn!
Hearing the second mission given by the commander, Wang Wei was so excited that he almost shouted.
“Guarantee the completion of the mission!”
He gave a standard military salute.
“Depart!”
“Yes!”
A quarter of an hour later.
The two men climbed into the cockpit of the J-40.
After all, it was a nuclear-powered fighter jet, and its size far exceeded that of conventional fighter jets, otherwise the nuclear reactor couldn’t be squeezed in—even if it had been miniaturized.
The fighter jet was big.
The cockpit was even bigger!
Enough to accommodate five or six people, and even a toilet.
The toilet was specially made, and could be used in outer space, so the poop wouldn’t float up.
The reason for leaving so much space…
First, to make the pilots more comfortable, after all, they would have to cruise for a long time if necessary.
Secondly.
To leave enough space for modification.
The next generation of new fighter jets wouldn’t appear for a while, but the existing J-40…
Could tap into its potential!
The fighter jet quickly entered the runway.
No need to use a rocket launch like North America.
Chen Hao stood in the tower’s central control room.
‘Start the nuclear reactor!’
‘Power unit running normally!’
‘Sympathetic nerve control system normal!’
All instructions in the cockpit would be synchronized to the central control room.
Take off!
With a taxiing distance of less than 120 meters, the J-40 directly took off from the ground, soaring almost 90 degrees into the sky.
…
It was a little after six in the evening in China, and it was morning in North America.
The space-based fighter jet detached from the rocket.
The fighter jet, with its nuclear reaction activated, began a series of tests in the airless extraterrestrial orbit.
First, test the basic performance.
Then…
Test the weapons!
The basic testing took an hour or so, and then they received weapon testing instructions.
“Damn it!”
Jack, in the co-pilot seat, had a look of surprise on his face: “So many satellites?!”
Sure enough!
The radar captured a large number of satellites.
Those with closer distances could be photographed through high-definition cameras, those satellites with sci-fi appearances.
They were all Chinese!
“It’s useless no matter how many there are.”
The pilot in the main seat was Jack’s partner.
Tom.
North America’s ace pilot!
He looked disdainful: “The remote attack method of these armed satellites is high-frequency pulses. In front of our Uranus, they can only wait to be destroyed—ha! Jack, get ready to reap the rewards!”
High-frequency pulses attenuate with distance, as had been tested in the East Sea and South Korea.
North America had suffered losses before.
They had long since developed pulse shielding technology.
In Tom’s eyes, these satellites were all targets, waiting for him to hunt them down!
“Laser lock!” Tom ordered.
“Understood!”
“Take out the nearest one!”
Laser weapons attenuate very little in space, and the attack distance is far greater than the high-frequency pulses of satellites.
Even the nearest satellite was nearly a hundred kilometers away.
“Prepare…”
Suddenly!
Before Tom could finish speaking, Jack’s expression changed drastically: “Tom… in front…“
Sure enough!
In the visible front, an aircraft appeared.
Blocking between them and the satellite they were about to attack!
That aircraft…
Was about the same size as the Uranus fighter jet, but its appearance was full of extreme sci-fi sense.
The key was the speed.
Too fast!
“Radar detects that its speed… exceeds Mach 50!” Jack’s voice trembled.
Admittedly.
The resistance in outer space was much smaller, but a flight speed of Mach 50 still gave him a big shock.
Obviously, the Uranus fighter jet couldn’t reach it!
“Take it down…”
Tom came back to his senses and shouted loudly: “Fast? Can it be faster than a laser?!“
The laser weapon was immediately activated.
Whoosh!
The crimson beam lit up the space.
What was Mach 50?
It was not worth mentioning in front of the speed of light!
Instantly.
The laser hit the sci-fi fighter jet.
“Hit! Haha… I knew it…” Tom was extremely excited.
The attack couldn’t stop!
Laser melting took a little time, and Jack controlled the laser to continue outputting.
The next moment.
The two were dumbfounded.
Sure enough!
A faint blue light shield appeared in front of the sci-fi fighter jet’s nose, actually blocking the laser outside!
“What is that?!”
Tom and Jack were directly dumbfounded.
A light shield?
This was only seen in sci-fi movies!
The plasma shield was not omnipotent, and could only block the attack of high-energy laser beams for a moment.
However, with the speed and maneuverability of the J-40, it was enough to escape the locked area.
Mach 50 speed.
Instant escape!
“It escaped…”
Tom shouted excitedly: “Damn it! That light shield can only resist the laser for a moment, it’s not our opponent…”
“Why attack us for no reason? State your identity immediately!”
Suddenly!
A not-so-fluent, but understandable, English voice rang in the cabin.
Tom and Jack almost peed their pants!
The other party didn’t send any communication requests, but directly called their communication device?
This meant…
Their electronic equipment had been invaded!
Even, controlled!
“You… are you an Earthling?” Jack asked dumbly like an idiot.
“Attacker, state your identity!” The other party raised his voice.
“Damn it!”
Tom didn’t have such a good temper: “This is North America, Uranus No. 1 space-based fighter jet! Who are you? How dare you…”
“North America? So, North America took the initiative to attack?” The other party interrupted him.
Not good!
Tom and Jack suddenly realized something was wrong.
