Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"Pay attention to the temperature."

Qi Sheng stared at the temperature value on the screen and reminded the flight controller.

"Turn on the deicers early."

Because of the high altitude, the altitude of the drone is now about 8000 meters, and the temperature sensor on the fuselage shows that the ambient temperature of the drone is -20 degrees.

This is a very deadly low temperature.

Usually there is a deicing system on a large passenger aircraft, and the water vapor on the surface or inside of the aircraft condenses into ice crystals or frost.Icing will affect the aerodynamic performance, control performance, weight and balance of the aircraft, and even cause serious consequences such as engine shutdown, instrument failure, and communication interruption.

Drones are no exception.

This drone is a propeller drone equipped with a 4-cylinder piston engine. Compared with jet engines like airliners and fighter jets, deicing is more important for it. The propellers will freeze and cannot operate, at least part of the lift will be lost and the altitude will drop, and the plane will crash directly at the worst.

There are also forward-looking infrared/CCD cameras on drones, and the lens will also become blurred due to icing.

Although the drone does not have an icing warning now, Qi Sheng asked the flight controller to turn on the deicing device early in order to be able to conduct reconnaissance in time after entering the reconnaissance airspace, so as to avoid icing in the reconnaissance airspace and waste time deicing. Take up reconnaissance time, and even affect the reconnaissance effect.

"clear."

The flight control immediately activated the de-icing system.

"Raise the height." Qi Sheng issued the second command.

"Raise the altitude?" The flight controller was taken aback. He couldn't believe what he heard, so he said, "It's already 8000 meters."

Qi Sheng's face was colder than the snow on the snow-capped mountains, and he had no expression at all. He still scratched his chin lightly, without taking his eyes off the screen: "Fly to 8500."

"Yes……"

A thin layer of sweat oozed from the flight controller's forehead, but he still carried out the order.

This is a height that exceeds the limit.

The highest parameter of this UAV is 8000 meters, because it is a mid-range UAV, so it can only fly at this height.

Obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier.

Since the commander gave the order, the flight controller can only execute it.

He pushed the rod lightly, increased the horsepower of the engine, adjusted his posture and began to lift.

Across the screen, the flight controller seems to be able to hear the whine of the motor.

He was really worried that the drone would suddenly lose control.

Exceeding the theoretical limit in the instruction manual, many problems may occur, such as engine stalling, icing on the wing surface, freezing of liquid oil in the system, icing failure of the steering surface, battery dead due to low temperature, etc... …

There are too many unknown factors...

Beyond the designed range of use, many otherwise normal systems may eventually lose their performance due to low temperature and lack of oxygen.

"Course correction, 30 degrees to the left."

Qi Sheng continued to issue orders.

There was an extra layer of sweat on the flight controller's forehead.

Beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of the link, payload, and intelligence analysts on the side.

A correction of 30 degrees to the left has changed the original course.

The original route was to avoid being identified and locked by local anti-control weapons, so it flew around the side and tried to avoid the enemy's frontier defense line. Now it flies directly through the right side of the enemy's frontier defense position.

The station master wanted to say something, but moved his mouth a few times, but finally said nothing.

Qi Sheng's face was still as cold as ice.

He knew it.

The altitude of the enemy's forward position is actually lower than that of my own. It is in a large depression, and the displayed altitude is 4000 meters, which is more than 1000 meters lower than my own.

This is interesting.

Why set such a point for them to scout?
Qi Sheng thought that the referee team was not stupid.

There is no reason to set up a reconnaissance point in such a place.

He had already discovered this problem when he first reviewed the map and determined the route, but he still kept an eye on it.

Use the safest route first, to avoid that the referee group deliberately marks the wrong value in the area.

After all, the altitude of other areas is above 5000, only the altitude of this frontier is more than 1000 less.

It looks too strange.

Qi Sheng is not familiar with the terrain here, and has never actually walked through it.

So when formulating the route, take the most conservative route, that is to fly around and shoot quickly at low altitude.

But I already had an alternate route in my mind.

That is to go through the flanks of the defense line, raise the height, and take a full shot at one time.

As long as the flight control is properly controlled and the intelligence analysts can accurately capture and determine the target coordinates, it will greatly shorten the time for this reconnaissance.

Another point is that in such high-altitude mountainous areas, it is generally difficult for large-scale air defense equipment to reach the enemy's defensive positions, and most of the shoulder-fired air defense weapons are used.

However, most shoulder-launched individual air defense missiles are difficult to shoot at a height of more than 4000 meters. When the drone is pulled to a height of 8500 meters, it is difficult for the opponent to carry out an effective attack.

It's just that his dangerous move surprised the soldiers in the control cabin.

"Don't worry, I know the performance of this drone. 8000 is a relatively conservative value. It's no problem to be able to fly 8500."

can fly?

A few soldiers thought to themselves.

The company commander said so, so fly if you can!
8200...

8300...

8400...

Every time the altitude increases by 100 meters, the flight controller's heart is raised a little bit.

He was afraid that a red warning sign would pop up on the screen in the next second.

8500...

"Achieved the specified altitude!"

The flight controller quickly reported.

"Hold on, fly the route I said."

Qi Sheng was still the same, expressionless, scratching his chin.

……

The starting point, the big tent, and the comprehensive center of the referee team.

Rows of monitors in front of the team monitor the flight trajectory and shooting images of each participating drone.

This is a real-time transmission picture on the same data platform and the same data link.

Here, you can see all the pictures on the drones of the five participating groups at the same time.

The deputy head of the referee group pointed to a screen.

"Someone flew straight!"

As he said this, the eyes of the other referees turned to the screen he was pointing at.

The trajectory on the screen shows that the drones of this unit are passing through the defense line of the enemy's forward position, to the right.

"It's the drone of the Tiger Brigade." A referee laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to be so bold?"

"This is not audacious." The referee team leader who had been staring at the screen said: "He has a plan in mind. Look at his height, he has pulled it to 8500."

"Is Qi Sheng really not afraid of the drone getting out of control?" someone said.

"Hehe, he..." The referee team leader said: "By the way, haven't you looked at his resume? This kid was in Xigong University before and participated in the demonstration of this drone. He knows where the limit is."

"No wonder..." the deputy team leader said: "I thought that no one would dare to use this small loophole, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to use it."

"His move can save himself at least 10 minutes." The team leader looked at his watch: "At present, the 15th team is leading."

"Didn't the 13 teams fly like this before?" someone said.

The team leader said: "Team 13 hesitated. They made up their minds after going half a circle. It was a bit late. They crossed to the left, and the route was not as good as crossing to the right. When we set this point, we considered it. When entering As long as you hesitate a little, you have to go around, and once you go around and go back, the route will not be beautiful and you will have more time."

"It seems that the Tiger Brigade has come out on top in this new military competition."

"I think it's close to ten. They are now 2:2 with the Intelligence Investigation Brigade, and they each have a first place in their hands. However, the score of the Tiger Brigade is a little lower, and they took the third place in the erection subject."

"It's a pity too. They are not adapted to the environment. I heard that there are a few key members who are rebellious, and even Chang Qi Sheng himself is rebellious."

"All the special warfare brigades are highly rebellious? Hahahaha!"

……

Qi Sheng was unaware of the discussion in the tent of the referee team.

So far, everything is under his control.

The game continues.

The reconnaissance of 9 points was also carried out smoothly.

For Qi Sheng, it was too simple.

Except that the reconnaissance that entered the frontier of the enemy's defense was a little difficult, everything after that was exactly as he had expected.

The route he set was very accurate, and most of the points were within the range of his route. Intelligence analysts easily discovered hidden targets, quickly made calibrations, and integrated the pictures with intelligence.

But, of course, it's not all that easy.

The last two points, one is to control the drone to attack the ground, and the other is to guide the artillery to attack from a long distance.

The ground attack target was found. In a mountain depression at an altitude of 5000 meters, a precision-guided bomb went down and lifted the cover of the opponent's bastard.

When it came to the last target to guide the artillery to attack, the route was not found after flying.

"Strange!"

Qi Sheng felt that his professional level had been impacted.

It's not within the route I outlined?

"Commander, what should we do?"

The flight controller was a little dazed.

Qi Sheng immediately opened the electronic map on the terminal, zoomed in frame by frame, and carefully checked all the terrain.

Watched it twice.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with his route.

Other places are not suitable for setting up positions and firepower points, let alone for ammunition storage.

"It's evil!"

"Call me out the pictures you took before one by one! Play them one by one, and stop as soon as I tell you to stop!"

Analysts hurriedly began to call up pictures.

These pictures are all pictures captured by drones, and they are all suspicious pictures. After the pictures are taken, analysts will analyze the pictures, find the targets inside, make calibrations, and then transmit them to the superiors to provide decision-making basis.

Pictures flashed across the screen.

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

Every time Qi Sheng read a picture, if he didn't find anything suspicious, he would call out.

After reading it again, it took ten minutes.

Sweat also broke out on his brow.

"Is it really not on my calibrated path?"

He couldn't help but doubt himself.

But based on the general information provided in the mission briefing and his own analysis, how could there be fish that slipped through the net?

Unless the briefing provided by the superior is very inaccurate.

But so far, all the information is still very accurate.

Is it intentional omission of a point of information?
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what went wrong.

Those pictures that I have seen flashed through my mind one by one like a revolving lantern.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "Call out the picture of target No. 4!"

The analyst quickly retrieved it, found the picture and put it on the screen.

Qi Sheng leaned directly in front of the screen, as if he was going to get into the screen, his eyes were fixed on the picture.

"here!"

He pointed to a place in the picture.

"I didn't take a clear picture here! Go back and take a picture here!"

The No. 4 target point is an enemy firepower point at the foot of the mountain. The intelligence analyst looked at it and found nothing wrong.

The flight controller is already executing orders.

The company commander said to fly, so he flew.

His job is to control the drone, and other things are considered by the commander.

The drone turned in the air and flew towards the No. 4 target point.

After 5 minutes, it reached the airspace here at the fastest speed.

"slow down!"

Qi Sheng gave the order, and then said to the analyst: "Snap shots without dead ends!"

The intelligence analyst began to control the camera on the drone, clicking and clicking.

When the picture came out, Qi Sheng looked at it, but it still wasn't there.

Suddenly, he said, "You missed the slope above point 4!"

That slope, in fact, does not cross the slope. Under the cover of ice and snow, the slope can be called a cliff. In some places, it is a 90-degree rock wall.

"Shoot the shaded side of it, and shoot it for me."

"The angle is wrong!" the analyst said, "I can't shoot it!"

"Flying controller, lower the altitude, aim at the shaded side of the mountain and fly straight, I want the camera to shoot at it!"

"It will hit the mountain!"

"Slow down the speed, turn right at a wide angle after shooting, you can avoid the mountain!"

"Yes……"

The sound of flight control is distorted.

This……

If this hits...

Don't play drones anymore.
