Chapter 320 Black Bird
"Zhang Hao, please stop joking, okay? How are you going to get to the moon without a lunar rover? Are you going to fly up there?"
Wilson thought Zhang Hao was talking nonsense.
The lunar environment is different from that of the Earth. The gravity is smaller and the temperature difference between day and night is larger. Humans need special space suits to survive there.
Zhang Hao actually said that there was no need for a lunar rover, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
"The lunar rover is too slow to get close to the alien mothership. I need a faster vehicle."
A researcher said: "The vacuum environment of the moon does not meet the conditions for the propulsion of spacecraft."
Another researcher agreed: "Yes, the fuel that can be retained is only enough to escape the gravity of the moon. It is impractical and impossible to carry enough fuel for the spacecraft to consume."
"Yes, in the vacuum environment of the moon, the kinetic energy required for the thruster to move forward one meter is much greater than on Earth. This is common sense. Mr. Zhang, this is indeed impossible!"
Zhang Hao nodded slightly at the group and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I know all of this. It also explains why most detectors use solar panels."
After hearing what Zhang Hao said, someone suddenly had an idea and asked, "Do you want to use solar energy?"
Then he shook his head and said, "This is a good idea, but it is also not feasible. Those probes that use solar energy can only advance a few kilometers in a few months."
Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "I don't use solar energy as energy either."
Wilson asked impatiently, "So how do you get to the moon?"
"Fly over there."
"Fly over? Zhang Hao, don't waste everyone's time, okay?" Wilson was angry.
Representatives from other regions were also dissatisfied. They felt that Zhang Hao was wasting their time and talking in his sleep. In the field of aerospace, they forced Zhang Hao to know much more!
Zhang Hao looked at the representative of the Russian country, an old man with medals all over his chest. He should also be a military leader. The name tag on the table reads "Boris".
He asked, "Mr. Boris, I wonder if your MiG-25 is still available?"
Boris was stunned and thought hard for a while.
"It should still be there, right? The MiG-25 is a product of the last century. Mr. Zhang, what do you want?"
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "I plan to fly a MiG-25 to the moon!"
There was laughter in the conference room, and Wilson laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.
"Zhang Hao, you are kidding! Flying a MiG-25 to the moon? How could you think of that?"
Zhang Hao sneered, "A Blackbird would be . I wonder if Mr. Wilson can provide one?"
Wilson smiled and said, "Even if I give you a Blackbird, can you fly it to the moon?"
After another thought, he continued, "Sure! Our Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is not much more advanced than the MiG-25. As long as you can fly it and can fly to the moon, I will provide you with one!"
Wilson 's compliment seemed even higher. Zhang Hao was delighted and said, "Then it's a deal!"
Wilson suddenly had an idea. What if Zheng Guoqi trained Zhang Hao after returning? By then, Zhang Hao would have learned the flying skills of fighter reconnaissance planes. He would have lost both the wife and the army.
He said, "There is our Blackbird reconnaissance plane in the base. Let's go there now to see what Mr. Zhang is capable of. If Mr. Zhang can't even fly it, the plan cannot be implemented. I'm afraid we will have to make a new decision on whether to declare war."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "This is natural."
Zhang Hao knew that Wilson agreed to let him test-fly the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. On the one hand, the other party felt that he would not be able to fly it, and on the other hand, he also wanted to show off to other regions and gain a dominant position in the "Global Alliance".
Other regions were naturally happy to hear this proposal.
So a group of people left the conference room and came to the Global Alliance's air force base.
Here, fighter jets and transport planes from various regions gathered together, and ground crews were busy.
Having seen the island nation’s air force being wiped out in one fell swoop, they are left with lingering fears, not knowing when the next attack will come, so it is very necessary to keep their fighter jets in the best condition.
Wilson brought the largest variety and quantity of aircraft this time, intending to demonstrate his status to other regions.
Among them, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is indeed eye-catching, with black paint and a slender fuselage.
Wilson couldn't help feeling proud, so he called the mechanic.
"Blackbird is doing a pre-flight inspection! We have a visiting group today! Hehe~"
Then Wilson, like a tour guide, invited everyone to the Blackbird reconnaissance plane.
Afraid that everyone would not be able to see the internal structure, he had an inspection table pushed over and everyone stood on it so that they could overlook the interior of the cabin.
It seems that Wilson is indeed confident and is not afraid of being seen by others.
Wilson saw Zhang Hao staring into the cabin and chuckled.
"What's wrong, Mr. Zhang? Are you dizzy with so many instruments? The control system of this Blackbird has been improved. Some buttons have been integrated, and the driving difficulty has been greatly reduced."
Even if a regular fighter pilot is suddenly asked to fly a fighter from another region, he will be confused by the different driving layout and function interpretations.
How could someone like Zhang Hao, who had never been in contact with a military aircraft, fly one without several months of training?
Wilson was delighted in his heart, finally he had managed to save some face.
Little did he know that Zhang Hao was quickly getting familiar with the situation.
Ace instilled various data and flying skills of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft into Zhang Hao's consciousness .
"The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is a jet-powered long-range, high-altitude, high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed and produced by the United States in the last century. The first generation was retired in the last century. The one in front of us is an improved version, and the improvement mainly involves avionics."
“…”
Zhang Hao complained: "This fighter jet is indeed not something that ordinary people can fly. I'm afraid it will take several months to memorize all the buttons."
Ace said with a proud tone, "Now you know how powerful I am, without me, you would be so embarrassed today!"
Zhang Hao was speechless and said, "If I hadn't discussed it with you in advance, would I be so stupid as to agree to Wilson's test drive? But next~ let's give him a big scare!"
Ace promised, "Don't worry! It's a piece of cake! You can take your hands off the joystick and just watch me perform!"
Zhang Hao raised his head and smiled: "Hmm~ It's a little more complicated than I thought..."
Wilson interrupted, "It's a good thing for young people to admit their mistakes! Don't have wild ideas in the future, like flying a plane to the moon..."
“It’s a little bit complicated, but I can still drive it perfectly fine.”
Wilson sneered and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be so arrogant. Although this Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is not my main force, it is still very expensive!"
He was afraid that Zhang Hao would try to show off and then mess up the machine...
"If Minister Wilson is worried, please send another driver! He can give me some guidance then."
Wilson thought about it and still didn't believe Zhang Hao could drive. He called a Blackbird pilot over and said, "If he can't start it later, you will terminate his operation. Remember that!"
Then he turned around and said to everyone, "Then let Mr. Zhang give it a try!"
Everyone walked down the maintenance platform.
Zhang Hao and a Blackbird pilot boarded the reconnaissance plane.
