"Exactly, it's not the Xuanwomen Skyfighter as you all have described, but rather a Sky Combat Bomber..."
Sky Combat Bomber?
Upon hearing the name again, Qian Zhizhong and others felt a stir in their hearts.
They were well aware of what a Combat Bomber was.
Before Su Heng, they had several such warplanes in their hands.
Although their performance was average, it was a fact that Longcun had these warplanes. Similarly, there were many similar warplanes in the world as well.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Longcun's combat bomber can be considered as a latercomer among those warplanes.
However, Su Heng was not referring to the ordinary combat bomber but the Sky Combat Bomber!
"Little Su, talk about the Xuanwu Sky Combat Bomber..."
Taking a moment to contemplate, Qian Zhizhong spoke in a low voice.
Su Heng nodded slightly, and then continued: "As the name implies, the Xuanwu Sky Combat Bomber is a type of fighter that is suitable for both air combat and bombing missions. Compared to traditional combat bombers, it's actually just a bit higher in flight, with a bit more payload capacity, and a bit faster speed..."
???
Upon hearing what Su Heng said, the brows of Qian Zhizhong and others couldn't help but twitch.
"Just a bit?"
Intuition told them that Su Heng was about to present them with another big treasure!
At this moment, Su Heng waved his hand, and directly allowed the Chaos to display the information and model of Xuanwu, then said:
"This is the specific data of Xuanwu..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and others unconsciously turned their eyes to the virtual panel displayed in front of them by the Chaos.
What greeted their eyes was a slender, aesthetically pleasing, and almost like an art piece, warplane model.
Regarding the performance and data of the warplane, let's put that aside for now. At least in terms of appearance, Qian Zhizhong and others dare to say that this model would rank highly among all warplanes in the world. In terms of looks, perhaps only the Sukhoi Su-34, also known as the "Swan," could rival this plane. Even the Swan might be slightly overshadowed by it!
As for the female deities like those from the Black and White Eagle Village, they would have to be ranked even further back!
However, after being amazed by the beauty of Xuanwu, Qian Zhizhong and others couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
"Little Su, do you call these data 'just a bit'?"
We won't mention the data on plasma stealth, but let's take those few most direct and important data points that Su Heng mentioned just now.
The Xuanwu before them has a maximum payload capacity of 26 tons, a maximum speed of up to six Mach, a cruising speed at 2.2 Mach above sound speed, and a maximum flight altitude of up to 60,000 meters. Is this thing considered a combat bomber by Su Heng?
No, which warplane manufacturer's combat bomber is like this?
Higher "a bit," more payload "a bit," faster "a bit." Alright, your "a bit" is just like this "a bit," isn't it?
What is the concept of a 26-ton payload capacity?
Take the Sukhoi Su-34, also known as the "Swan," for example. Its internal bomb bay has a maximum payload capacity of only 45 tons!
Similarly, the Black and White Eagle Village's level of Gunslinger Bomber has a maximum payload capacity of up to 60 tons, but its internal bomb bay can only carry a maximum load of 40 tons.
It seems like it is more than what Su Heng has presented with Xuanwu, but what are the Swan and Gunslinger?
That's a strategic bomber!
Xuanwu is what?
According to Su Heng, this is a combat bomber!
The difference between the two is enormous, as vast as the heavens and the earth!
Simply put, Gunslinger and Swan can only drop bombs or missiles on the ground.
The combat mission is not their task.
A combat bomber, unlike those, can not only drop bombs to carry out bombing missions but also act as a fighter in case of necessity, taking on the task of air combat!
To some extent, it is also a fighter!
So you have a fighter that can carry a payload of 26 tons?
And with a speed of up to six Mach, is that speed really for a bomber?
Don't even mention that apart from the new eight-ghost as Su Heng presented earlier, there are no other experimental aircraft in Black and White Eagle Village that can match this speed. If we look at the entire world, we cannot find any plane with such speed.
The new eight-ghost is a fighter plane.
As for those sky planes from Black and White Eagle Village, they are all prototypes; not a single one has been put into mass production!
Combat is just a pipe dream.
And with a 2.2 Mach supersonic cruise speed, what is the concept of 2.2 Mach?
The Black and White Eagle Village's previously highly acclaimed Falcon 5th Generation Stealth Fighter, whose maximum speed is only 2.25 Mach!
It is only 0.05 Mach higher than the supersonic cruise speed of the Xuanwu displayed by Su Heng!
The maximum speed of Falcon is so low, your supersonic cruise speed is almost as fast as the maximum speed of Falcon. Is this serious?
Then there's the maximum flight altitude, reaching 60,000 meters!
Alright, you are a Sky Combat Bomber, reaching an altitude of 60,000 meters doesn't seem strange.
But even if we ignore the altitude issue, just the other data, is this really something that humans can create?
Even though they have great faith in Su Heng and had a premonition that Su Heng would bring a big treasure for their mother, now that they are faced with the actual data presented by Su Heng, Qian Zhizhong and others find it hard to remain calm.
"Just a bit?"
A "bit"!
At that moment, as Qian Zhizhong and others were in turmoil.
Su Heng's voice echoed once again:
“According to my design plan, NTM-2 will be equipped with ten Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers to carry out necessary ground attack missions……”
“The Xuanwu itself can carry including the Judicator drone and all the P15 series air-to-air missiles. In addition to these, the FF-10 series and KD-10, KJ-10 series heavy hypersonic stealth missiles can also be mounted...”
“In addition, based on the situation of this desert war, I have upgraded our electromagnetic pulse bomb in the past and developed targeted DM-13 series electromagnetic pulse missiles!”
“These missiles, depending on their specifications, have different destructive power. The DM-13C electromagnetic pulse missile with the largest power, once detonated, can instantly destroy all electronic equipment within a one-kilometer radius!”
"Even electronic equipment buried dozens of meters underground cannot escape the destructive power of the DM-13C..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and others' pupils shrank slightly.
They were well familiar with electromagnetic pulse weapons.
The wolf tooth unit had carried a lot of electromagnetic pulse bombs during the action in the Squid Village before.
These bombs played a huge role during the action.
However, those bombs were relatively small and could only affect electronic equipment within a radius of about 10 meters.
Now, Su Heng has directly expanded the range of destruction from several dozen meters to one kilometer!
It can be imagined that if such weapons were really deployed, if Longcun were to have a conflict with anyone, throwing hundreds or thousands of such electromagnetic pulse missiles directly at the enemy's head, the enemy might collapse on the spot!
After all, modern warfare is based on high technology.
Whether it's fighter jets, radar systems, or other gadgets, even the individual communication devices in soldiers' hands are all types of electronic equipment!
Without these things, any armed force will revert to the state before S1.
Even possibly worse than before S1, because modernized armed forces that have grown accustomed to using high-tech equipment, if deprived of these high-tech devices, whether they can even fight or not is still uncertain!
Not to mention, how do you handle communication?
At least before S1, it could still be done with horseback messengers.
Now how many villages still have horses?
Even if there are, how many horses are there? How many armed forces can be equipped with them?
Even if we assume there are enough warhorses, do you have enough messengers to ride them?
Armed forces accustomed to instant communication can accept military orders that take several hours, even days or a month or two to reach the target?
Taking it a step further, even if you can accept it, would Longcun, which has not been affected, stand there like a fool and wait for you to slowly communicate, prepare your defenses, and then slowly form lines for an attack?
No, you're thinking like a gentleman's agreement for war, when it comes to battle, you have to agree on a time and place, how long to fight, and when to rest without fighting. If you don't want to fight, you can raise a white flag!
Longcun would never do something like this unless it has all bean soup in its head.
With Longcun having them and you not having them, do you think you can counter the fully operational Longcun with the few weapons you have that don't have electronic assistance?
It's not a dream, but it's a misconception!
With these thoughts in mind, Qian Zhizhong and others' eyes shone brightly.
"Little Su, is it too few to have only ten Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers on one NTM-2?"
After a long time, Qin Shan suddenly spoke up.
"Few?"
The sudden sound startled Su Heng for a moment.
After a glance at the speaker unconsciously, Su Heng also showed a helpless expression.
If someone else asked this question, it might be a bit odd.
But Qin Shan asking this question is completely unremarkable.
In the past interactions, Su Heng was well aware that the old man, Qin Shan, is an absolute terminal cancer patient with a severe lack of firepower!
When Su Heng presented the electromagnetic gun before, Qin Shan immediately mounted it on the battleship!
He even asked for help to develop a series of electromagnetic gun defense weapons.
For example, the electromagnetic close-in defense guns and main guns on the Longyuan battleship were all things born under Qin Shan's urging.
Currently, a Longyuan battleship has two sets of electromagnetic close-in defense guns and one electromagnetic gun main cannon.
If Su Heng hadn't stopped him earlier, Qin Shan would have wanted to equip Longyuan with four sets of electromagnetic close-in defense guns and two main electromagnetic gun cannons!
Shaking his head, Su Heng helplessly said:
"Shaking his head, Su Heng helplessly said, 'Qin Lao, the space on NTM-2 is limited, and it needs to accommodate other equipment. It's really not possible to fit more Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers. Moreover, in reality, ten Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers are enough. One Xuanwu Sky Combat Bomber, fully loaded, can carry as many as thirty-five DM-13C Electromagnetic Pulse Missiles……'"
"Ten Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers together can carry a total of three hundred and fifty such missiles. It's more than enough to serve as a strategic-level support for the battle……"
As Su Heng finished speaking, Qian Zhizhong beside him also shook his head slightly and said:
"Yes, old Qin, in battle, precision is more important than quantity. This type of weapon, even just one or two units on the battlefield, can already serve as a game-changer"
"We don't need to target ordinary soldiers; we just need to find the enemy's command post. According to what Little Su said about the Xuanwu's capabilities and the DM-13C electromagnetic pulse missile's power, as long as the Xuanwu can break through the defense line, a single DM-13C electromagnetic pulse missile is enough to easily paralyze the enemy's command post!"
"Without a command post, the remaining enemies are just helpless lambs to be slaughtered……"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan sighed slightly.
Of course, he understands these principles.
But who can understand the need for firepower from a senior citizen with terminal cancer caused by a fear of lack of firepower?
When he led the fleet to confront the Black and White Falcon Village and the Dongying Village's fleet, which could be called "luxurious," the feeling of powerlessness he felt at that time is something he still cannot forget.
At that time, even a mere subsidiary fleet from either the Black and White Eagle Village or the Dongying Village could easily defeat the entire Longcun Navy!
If he could, he would have liked Longcun to be equipped with Su Heng's advanced weapons on all its battleships!
Arm all the battleships to the teeth!
Looking at Qin Shan with a strange expression, Su Heng's heart moved. After thinking for a moment, Su Heng once again said:
"Shi, old Qin, you don't need to worry about the firepower issue. Although the number of Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers is not large, this does not mean that the firepower of NTM-2 is insufficient……"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan was taken aback and subconsciously turned his gaze towards Su Heng.
At this time, Su Heng continued:
"Besides Xuanwu Sky Combat Bombers, NTM-2 will also be equipped with Qingniao and Ba Ye fighter jets. In addition, it will also carry the largest number of Judicator-2 drone fleets!"
"Judicator-2?" Qin Shan's heart moved.
"Yes" Su Heng nodded slightly and said: "This is the second-generation Judicator drone upgraded based on the Judicator drone. Although its own payload has not changed, and its range has been shortened to 200 kilometers, its speed is faster than the Judicator!"
"The maximum speed of the Judicator is only four hundred kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of the Judicator-2 is eight hundred kilometers per hour! The speed has increased by a whole factor of two!"
"Besides the increase in speed, the Judicator-2 also adopts a split-body design. After reaching the vicinity of the target area, each Judicator can split into ten small-scale Judicator drones, and then according to a set program or guidance from the command center, they will attack different targets within a radius of one hundred meters around them!"
"Sub-munition?" Hearing what Su Heng said, Qin Shan unconsciously thought of a name.
Upon hearing this, Su Heng nodded slightly and said: "The principle is similar, but the difference is that the bombs released by cluster bombs are uncontrollable and cannot effectively attack when encountering cover."
"While the drones that split from the Judicator-2 are controllable, they can autonomously search for nearby heat sources to attack according to an internal program, or be guided by the rear command center to make precise strikes on targets!"
Qin Shan was silent.
After a long silence, he finally said: "Little Su, how many such drones can NTM-2 carry?"
In response to the question, Su Heng replied directly: "As per my idea, such Judicator-2 drones will be equipped with ten thousand on one NTM-2. In case of necessity, the maximum can carry up to sixty thousand!"
"？？？"
"How many?"
"Six thousand drones??"
Su Heng's voice directly made Qin Shan and others widen their eyes.
