The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Lucas's mission was to fly into the Dragon airspace to find out the truth.

He felt that this mission was simple, just like an outing and there would be no danger.

After all, the F117 is a stealth fighter!

The opponent’s radar can’t “see” you at all.

They can't see me, so what danger will I be in?

Moreover, Eagle King attaches great importance to this mission.

As long as he goes for a walk, he will be honored with great honor when he comes back. Perhaps, this event can make him a great hero of Giant Eagle, which will be enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

So, he was very excited.

He said to his fellow pilots: "Guys, now is the time for us to make achievements."

"Tonight, let's fly over the most prosperous city of the dragon and take a look around!"

"Yeah! One day, I hope to be able to fly over their capital and pee! Hahaha!"

The rest of Lucas's squadron also laughed wildly.

The combat radius of this F117 is only about 1065 kilometers.

From the Okinawa base, it is more than 860 kilometers to Magic City.

There's no problem going there for a walk and coming back.

Again, the F117 is actually pretty rubbish.

The combat radius is relatively short, the flying speed is not fast, and it lacks maneuverability.

Once it is discovered, it will become a sitting duck.

But Lucas and others are quite confident in its stealth performance.

They have tested it many times, and even the Giant Eagle's best radar cannot detect the F117.

Lucas thought, if our best radar can't detect it, then the dragon must be able to do it too, right?
He has the arrogance of an old white man with a red neck in his bones.

He still firmly believed that the Giant Eagle was the best in the world.

The F117 he flew was the best fighter jet.

This killer weapon can hit anyone it wants to hit! No one can stop it.

Lucas gave an impassioned mobilization.

Look, it’s getting dark.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Lucas waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The pilots climbed up the ladder and entered the cabin.

This time, they dispatched 5 F117s at once.

There is no moon tonight, and the night is thick and dark.

With the F117's stealth performance and the cover of night, the F117 is like a black hole.

Lucas was the first to drive his fighter plane onto the runway.

The fuel is full.

The ammunition has been hung up.

Now, they are setting off.

Flying at night is always a dangerous thing.

However, Lucas was a skilled and courageous man. He led four wingmen to fly towards the designated target at lightning speed.

The distance is more than 8 kilometers. If the F117 moves at full speed, it will reach the destination in an hour.

After the plane arrived over the vast ocean, all active radars were turned off.

Now, their aircraft's positioning is mainly determined by an automatic direction finder, also known as a radio compass.

This thing provides flight guidance by receiving civilian medium-wave radio broadcasts from various ground stations.

Lucas was excited along the way.

Tonight, his mission is to fly over the Magic City and take some beautiful photos.

As long as he can take these photos successfully and then return to the base safely, he will have achieved a great success.

Lucas thought this was child's play.

After flying for about 40 minutes, we approached the dragon's airspace.

Go further and you will see bright lights.

"Damn, the lights here are so bright!"

Lucas cursed.

"Boss, they've been doing really well in recent years," a wingman pilot said over the intercom.

“They are rich now.”

"Now, the Magic City has become the most prosperous metropolis in the world."

“They’re also the world’s largest port!”

“They are very generous.”

"I saw on Weibo that the Bund in Shanghai is so beautiful."

"It's no worse than Dongjing."

Lucas shook his head and said, "What a pity, they are standing against us."

"I think the Eagle King was a little too indulgent towards them in the past."

"I think they're not really that big of a deal."

"Whatever high-tech they boast about is just an attempt to scare us."

"But unfortunately, many of us are intimidated."

"Look, we are about to enter the airspace above their sea area."

"But they found nothing."

"In a few minutes, we will be able to run wild above the Magic City."

"They say their radar is very powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is."

Several pilots burst into laughter.

Now, they were several kilometers above the Dragon Sea.

At this moment, suddenly, Lucas heard a strange sound.

Before he could react, a pilot shouted in the communication channel: "Oh my God! It seems they opened fire!"

"Run!"

Lucas saw a fiery snake rushing towards his plane in the dark night sky.

That speed is really too fast.

It appeared right before our eyes in a flash.

"what!"

Lucas screamed and quickly turned the nose of the plane to avoid it.

However, his plane was too slow.

Even if he increased the speed to the maximum, it was only 0.9 Mach.

At this speed, it is impossible to escape the attack of anti-aircraft missiles.

The speed of this missile is actually not that fast.

Probably less than Mach 3.

But it is still much faster than the F117.

Lucas is an ace pilot after all, and his more than ten years of flying experience have given him superb flying skills.

Some actions are simply conditioned reflexes.

He almost turned the direction subconsciously, and the missile almost brushed past his plane, probably less than ten meters away.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief and turned the plane around to fly back.

Now, he was in a bad mood.

Damn it! What on earth is going on?

Why was my F117, which has the best stealth technology in the world, locked upon arrival in the dragon's airspace?
How did the dragon's radar detect me?

He couldn't understand.

However, he felt deeply frustrated.

Of course, his only thought now was to escape.

As long as we can escape to the high seas, we should be initially safe, right?
At this time, he really felt that the F117 was flying too slowly.

It's extremely slow.

In an instant, he thought a lot.

I thought too much.

"Boss! Something bad has happened..."

Suddenly, a loud roar from another pilot was heard in the communication channel.

Before Lucas could react, he felt a loud "boom".

A strong flame rose from the rear of his plane.

The plane vibrated like a leaf in a huge vortex.

not good……

Lucas knew that he had been hit.

He chose to eject without hesitation.

As soon as he ejected, he saw his plane falling rapidly.

Then a violent explosion occurred about a few hundred meters below him.

The explosion was very loud.

The plane he was flying had been blown into thousands of pieces.

A piece of debris hit him in the buttocks.

He felt a burning pain in his buttocks.

The place where Lucas ejected was about two thousand meters below.

But even so, the winds are strong and the temperature is low.

Below is the vast ocean.

Lucas was a little disappointed.

Horse riding!
Lucas thought that this time he was probably doomed.

Are our stealth fighters really invisible?
You may say it is not invisible, but it has quietly flown into the giant bear's airspace!

And it happened more than once. Lucas himself even carried out a related mission.

The giant bear's air defense is quite powerful.

Just like that, none of them found F117.

But now, we have just gotten close to the dragon and are just about to go in.

In fact, Lucas had tried it before entering.

Although Lucas speaks arrogantly, he is also very cautious in doing things.

Very cautious.

He would try several times before entering.

If the other party is responsive, there will definitely be a normal reaction.

So, if Lucas saw something was wrong, he would definitely turn around and run away immediately.

There was no response from the other party.

This boosted Lucas' confidence.

Only then did he begin to plan to advance straight ahead.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't play any tricks on them at all.

Obviously, the other party had discovered them long ago.

But the other party remained silent.

Just wait for them to enter, then immediately lock on and start fighting.

It's so fucking miserable.

Dragon, how dare you do this?

Shouldn't we give a warning first?
Even the giant bear seemed to give a warning first, and then open fire.

The opponent didn't give me any chance at all, just go in and fight!
This is breaking the rules.

Lucas thought a lot.

He shook his head and felt really miserable.

The main reason why I have ended up in this situation today is that I am too arrogant!

If they had been more cautious, perhaps the tragedy of being shot down could have been avoided.

Being shot down is the greatest shame.

Moreover, if no one rescues him when he falls into the sea, he will definitely not survive.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lucas heard several more violent explosions.

The explosion made him tremble all over.

He saw several beautiful fireworks lit up in the night sky again.

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

Special brew! What's this?
5 F117s were all shot down?

In fact, there are not that many F117s now!
There are probably only a few dozen of them.

Those who were hyped up in the past are now labeled as invincible.

Now the situation is different, 5 planes were shot down directly.

How can I brag after this?
"Pfft!"

Lucas fell into the sea.

The sea water was so cold that he shivered.

The parachute still has some buoyancy for the time being.

Therefore, he would not be drowned for the time being.

In the distance, there seemed to be a speedboat roaring towards us.

The light from the searchlight searched the nearby sea.

Lucas yelled desperately.

The sea water is freezing cold.

He knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

If he gets hypothermia, he will eventually die.

So, even if I become a prisoner, it doesn’t matter.

But the sea breeze was howling.

The waves were also quite big, constantly hitting him.

A wave hit him and knocked him dizzy.

He shivered.

He felt his body was a little numb.

The worst thing was that the parachute rope was strangling his neck.

He was almost suffocated.

The parachute fabric almost covered his head.

He could only struggle desperately to get his head out.

He thought he had shouted loud enough.

But it didn't work, the sea breeze blew away his voice.

It can't be transmitted far at all.

The speedboat's searchlight swept over his head several times.

However, the search and rescue team seemed not to have found him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Lucas was almost desperate.

More than half an hour later, a speedboat found him.

Then the speedboat began to move quickly towards him.

By the time the speedboat reached him, he was already dying.

He felt like he was going to die.

At this moment, two strong arms grabbed him.

He was dragged onto the speedboat.

Then, like a dying fish, he lay in the middle of the cabin, gasping for breath.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

A beam of light hit Lucas' face.

Lucas opened his eyes and forced a smile.

"I'm not dead."

"Thank you for saving me."

"Who are you?"

He spoke English, of course.

The smiling voice said, "You should know who we are."

"We also know who you are."

"We shot down your plane."

"Haha! We've been waiting for you for a long time. We knew you would come."

"You guys are here as expected."

Lucas was extremely weak, but his heart was full of doubts at the moment.

"I want to know, why can you see our stealth fighters?"

The man smiled and said, "Is that a stealth fighter?"

"Your aircraft is not invisible on our radar screens at all."

"We saw it since you flew out of the base."

Lucas was surprised: "How is it possible?!"

"Even our best radars can't detect our fighters!"

"The giant bear's radar can't detect it either."

"I once flew a plane into the airspace of a giant bear and flew for a long time without being discovered."

The man said, "Haha! I think we talked about that, didn't we?"

"Our radar technology is the most advanced in the world."

"Your stupid stealth fighters can't be invisible in front of our radar."

"So, what I want to say is that this first-generation magic machine that you all praised so highly is really just that!"

"It can't fly fast, can't cruise at supersonic speeds, has very poor maneuverability, and has no stealth capability. It's also poor at carrying weapons."

"What I want to ask is, why do you have such great confidence to fly over here so brazenly?"

"It's just a sitting duck!"

Lucas: "..."

If the other party had said this before, he would not have believed it at all.

But now, he believed it.

He thought to himself, it seems that all the domestic reports I read before were false.

Those articles almost degraded the dragon to a very despicable level.

But the real dragon is so powerful.

Lucas was taken back.

When he returned to the shore, he found that several of his subordinates had also been rescued.

The wreckage of the planes was also salvaged to the shore.

This is big news.

The dragon published a high-profile condemnation.

Condemned the Giant Eagle's violation of its airspace and even provided clear photos.

In those photos, the missiles mounted under the F117 are ready to launch!

Obviously, the giant eagle was showing great provocation and malicious intent. (End of this chapter)
