Chapter 69 The US Reconnaissance Planes Have Arrived
The commotion at the shipyard was hidden from view by the surrounding walls.
But the towering flames and the lights from the all-night work eventually attracted the attention of some "interested individuals".
Over a sea area in the south.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters.
A strangely shaped black plane with extremely long wings glided silently through the clouds, just like a solitary vulture.
That's the US's most advanced U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
In this era, this is the ghost in the sky, an existence with no solution.
Because it flew so high, none of the rabbit's fighter jets could reach it at that time.
Anti-aircraft missiles? They were still in the womb back then.
Inside the cockpit, pilot Jack was leisurely sipping his coffee.
He was wearing sunglasses, humming jazz, and looking down at the vast land beneath his feet.
In his eyes, this was his own backyard.
Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want.
"Oh God, look at these poor ants."
Jack adjusted the focus of the high-powered camera and aimed it at the busy coastline.
"I heard they're working on some secret project?"
"Let me see, are they building a fishing boat? Hahahaha!"
He laughed without restraint.
This sense of superiority gave him immense satisfaction.
at the same time.
Southern Fleet Command.
The radar operator shouted in alarm, "Report! Unidentified flying object detected! Altitude 21,000 meters! Speed Mach 0.8!"
"Approaching over our secret shipyard!"
Zhao Tiezhu was drinking tea when he heard this, and he almost crushed the teacup in his hand.
"Fuck you!"
"It's that black crow again!"
"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
Commander Zhao's face turned a deep purplish-red, and the veins on his neck bulged.
This is not the first time.
Every time we make the slightest movement, this thing flies over like it smells something.
Take two photos, spin around twice, and then fly away with a swagger.
We could only watch helplessly from below as it defecated and urinated on our heads.
This kind of frustration is worse than being killed.
"What about the Air Force? Can they go up and shoot it down?"
The chief of staff next to him sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Commander, our MiG-19s only have a service ceiling of 18,000 meters, which is far from theirs."
"Even if we charge in headfirst, we'll just be sitting ducks."
"The anti-aircraft guns can't reach it, and there are no missiles."
"We... can only watch."
"Watch? I don't want to watch!"
Zhao Tiezhu slammed his fist on the table, making the map jump.
"Are we just going to let him film like this? What will happen to the 'Little Black Fish' that hasn't even been created yet if our secret is leaked?"
The command room was deathly silent.
Everyone lowered their heads.
That is the tragedy of being less skilled than others.
That was the humiliation of a weak and defenseless nation.
At this time.
In the small courtyard of the shipyard.
Zhao Di was squatting on the ground, fiddling with her so-called "big black fish" model.
Actually, it was just a prototype casing painted pink, with a miniature magnetohydrodynamic thruster inside.
She was having a great time when she suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from the sky.
Although the sound wasn't loud, it was particularly annoying on a quiet afternoon.
It's like a greenbottle fly that you can't get rid of no matter what you do.
"Hate!"
Zhao Di covered her ears, her little mouth pouting so much it could hold an oil bottle.
"It's so noisy!"
"I was telling a story to the big black fish, but the noise made me forget my lines!"
She complained in her mind, "Uncle, there's a big mosquito up there, it's so noisy."
The system, which was running an upgrade in the background, was also woken up by the noise.
It scanned the sky, and the red cursor, a sign of hostility, stood out starkly on the radar image.
[Hmph, a mere outdated subsonic reconnaissance aircraft dares to act arrogantly in front of our system?]
[Host, don't be angry.]
[Just swat these mosquitoes.]
[Ding! Temporary quest triggered: Swatting mosquitoes.]
[Mission Description: A large, oblivious mosquito is spying on our secrets. Please use the tools at your disposal to teach it a lesson.]
[Mission Reward: One box of chocolate wafer biscuits.]
Chocolate wafers!
Zhao Di's eyes lit up instantly.
She immediately lowered her hands from her ears and looked around for a tool to swat mosquitoes.
A broom? Too short.
A stone? It won't go up there.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the stone table in the courtyard.
There was a red, pistol-like object lying there.
That was the signal gun that Lin Jianguo had just replaced; it was originally intended for use during the sea trial.
Zhao Di ran over and laboriously picked up the heavy signal gun.
The gun was too big for her; she could only hold it with both hands.
"Father's gun!"
"Use this to swat mosquitoes!"
Just then, Lin Jianguo came out of the house with water.
When he saw his daughter holding a gun, he was terrified.
"Zhaodi! Put her down!"
"That's dangerous! You can't play with it!"
Lin Jianguo threw down his water glass and rushed over.
Even though it's just a signal flare, it can still be deadly if it hits someone!
"Daddy, I'm swatting mosquitoes!"
Zhao Di was completely unaware of the danger.
She raised the gun, mimicking her father's usual manner.
Although his posture was crooked and awkward, and although the muzzle of the gun was still swaying.
But her big eyes were fixed on that almost invisible little black dot in the sky.
The system quietly enabled aim assist in the background.
[Target locked: U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.]
Distance: 21,000 meters.
[Wind speed correction...ballistics calculation...]
[Loading Buff: Ultra-Long-Range Guidance (Causality Version)]
[Host, now's the time! Pull the trigger!]
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Di called out in a childish voice.
The chubby little index finger pulled hard on the heavy trigger.
