Her gaze pierced through the chaotic threat of death, precisely capturing a detail on the "Shadow" status screen that everyone had overlooked: amidst the violent shaking and the drastic changes in the aircraft's attitude, the specially designed high-definition reconnaissance pod under the fuselage, with its camera pointing at an axis, was precisely thrown to an almost vertically upward angle at a certain moment of turbulence!
At this moment, the SR-71 "Blackbird" diving down, its huge and clear outline perfectly embedded in the center of this field of view!
"Old Zhao!" Mingzhao's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly piercing through all the noise, carrying an unquestionable, almost commanding resolve.
"Abandon attitude control! Stabilize the nose! Deploy the pod! Maximum camera tilt! Lock onto the target above! Shoot with full power! Now!"
This command was earth-shattering!
Give up posture control?
In the violent tremors of an organism on the verge of disintegration?
It's tantamount to suicide!
But Lao Zhao did not hesitate at all!
His unwavering trust in Mingzhao, coupled with his determination as a soldier to complete his mission even at the last moment, led him to make his choice in an instant!
"Understood! Abandon the pose! Maximum camera angle! Shoot with full power!"
Old Zhao roared and abruptly released the control stick he had been desperately resisting the vibrations! His hands moved with lightning speed, operating the reconnaissance pod's control panel!
Almost the instant the control stick was released, "Shadow" suddenly jerked its head up violently like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, and then rolled wildly to the left!
The immense overload and uncontrolled jolting caused Lao Zhao's vision to go black instantly, and it felt as if his internal organs were about to shift!
But his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the pod control screen, his fingers seemingly welded to the buttons!
Buzz,
The reconnaissance pod's power was instantly turned up to maximum!
Ignoring the violent shaking of the aircraft, the high-definition optical lens and infrared sensor, along with the powerful electronic stabilization system, locked onto the huge black shadow that was swooping down like the Grim Reaper from above!
Automatic lens tracking, focusing, and zooming!
Click! Click! Click! Click!
The rapid-fire electronic shutter sounded frantically inside the gondola!
High-resolution images flooded into the storage unit and were instantly transmitted back to the "Xuanying" base with the highest priority via the "Galaxy" satellite data link!
The image on the control tower's main screen switched instantly!
The live video feed from the "Shadow" pod, though accompanied by violent shaking and noise, was displayed with unparalleled clarity before everyone's eyes:
In the center of the screen: the SR-71 "Blackbird" is diving down from an almost vertical angle, its jet-black, slender fuselage glowing red from high-speed friction!
The doors to the complex reconnaissance equipment under the fuselage are clearly visible!
They were so close that they could vaguely make out the profile of "Raven" under the canopy, which was taut from the G-force of the dive and exuded a hunting thrill!
At the edge of the image: the vertical stabilizer, clearly painted with the U.S. Air Force insignia, trembles slightly in the high-speed airflow!
At the bottom of the screen: violent shaking, representing the blurry vision of "Shadow" itself on the verge of collapse, and a small patch of dark blue sky background captured due to the excessive upward angle of the camera.
This scene is filled with an extreme sense of death and oppression, and an absurd sense of humiliation that the other party is completely unaware of!
Completely immersed in the thrill of the dive and hunt, "Raven" was completely unaware that beneath the fighter jet below, which he considered a "dead object," a cold eye was capturing his most arrogant and domineering demeanor, along with his clearly marked nationality!
"Image acquisition in progress! Data link transmission is stable! Target features are clear!"
The technician in charge of receiving the images was so excited his voice trembled!
Just as the Blackbird was about to enter a deadly distance that would allow it to completely destroy the Shadow with its wake!
Out of the corner of his eye, "Raven" seemed to unconsciously glance at an auxiliary display screen in the cockpit—a backup image of the side-view radar screen he had turned on to monitor the battlefield below.
On the screen, there was still a green background of noise, symbolizing "safety".
However, in this "clean" background of noise, an extremely faint, almost imperceptible flashing red dot, representing a strong optical signal source, flickered stubbornly for a very short time, like a firefly in the night, at the edge of the area representing the "shadow" rolling uncontrollably!
This is an extremely faint optical signature that was leaked when the pod was operating at full capacity, and it was accidentally captured by the SR-71's powerful passive electro-optical reconnaissance system!
"What the hell?" The raven's sinister smile froze instantly!
An indescribable, immense chill from the unknown instantly gripped him!
Is something glowing at the abdomen of that "crashed" machine below?
It was filmed in…?
This moment of shock and fear was like a cold, poisonous needle piercing his nerves!
The decisive dive was accompanied by a very subtle hesitation, one that even he himself did not notice!
Subconsciously, not out of tactical consideration, he slightly pulled the control stick, trying to get a better view.
It was that hesitation of less than 0.1 seconds and that tiny adjustment of posture!
For the "shadow" below, which resembled a small boat in a raging storm, it was like a gift of life!
boom,
The massive SR-71, wreathed in destructive high-speed airflow, swept past the "Shadow's" violently churning tail! The raging wake, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed into the "Shadow's" already near-disintegration!
"Whoosh, creak!"
A chilling, deafening roar, as if a metal skeleton were being forcibly twisted and torn apart, was clearly transmitted back to the control tower through the machine's structure!
On the monitoring screen, several stress curves representing the structure of the "Shadow" instantly broke through all scale limits, and the deep black highest disaster alarm flashed wildly! The bursting broadband noise on the spectrum graph reached an unprecedented peak!
