The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2038 Plasma Hundred Styles

  In 2005, the Zero Drive method achieved great success, but also suffered a huge setback.

Before everyone's cheers for the successful Zero Drive flight method had faded, the test aircraft Plasma Hyakushiki disappeared.

Asuka was only ten years old that year. While he was expecting his father to come back to celebrate his tenth birthday, he received the sad news that his father would never come back.

".I have tried to find my father's whereabouts over the years, but to no avail." Asuka Shin said with a gloomy look. A big part of the reason he joined TPC and Zero Flight Training School was to find Asuka Kazuma.

Asuka Shin had no idea where to start, and no one would tell him the truth, so he simply walked the path that Asuka Kazuma had once walked.

He joined TPC after graduating from high school, just in time for the great development of the New Field Project. The demand for flight technicians increased dramatically, so the Zero Flight Training School expanded its enrollment and relaxed the admission requirements. Only Asuka Shin, who had only graduated from high school, was able to take the entrance exam. After three years of study and training, he graduated with excellent grades. Among the many olive branches thrown to him, he took the initiative to apply to join the Space Adventure Team.

Then today, the first month of 2017, I finally found the clue related to my father, and saw the Plasma Hyaku-Shiki that my father was driving when he disappeared.

Chiba Makoto patted Asuka Shin's shoulder and said, "Although the Zero Drive method has been frozen, it is a technology that can reach the speed of light after all."

Asuka Shin nodded, expressing his understanding that no one, including his father's friends, had ever told him anything about his father's work or the reason for his disappearance since he was a child.

The Neomax engine is TPC's most advanced power system at present, but it can only reach 2020 percent of the speed of light. The Neomax engine, which is currently being tested and is expected to be put into service around , has a maximum speed of only half the speed of light.

But what about the Plasma Type 100? The Max propulsion system had just been successfully tested twelve years ago. When its fastest speed was only one ten-thousandth of the speed of light, the Zero drive flight method had already reached the speed of light.

The gap between the two is extremely large.

The Max power system is already an epoch-making power system. The Zero drive navigation method, which is even more powerful than the Max power system, is definitely an epoch-making black technology.

Although TPC has frozen the Zero Drive flight method due to safety issues, such terrifying performance still requires a highly confidential technology and naturally cannot be disclosed to the outside world, especially to a child.

At this time, along with the sound of light footsteps, a steady voice came: "Zero Drive is a great attempt by mankind to challenge the speed of light. Although it was not very successful, it broke the absolute speed and allowed mankind to see the dawn of catching up with the speed of light."

This familiar voice made Asuka Shin turn around immediately. With just one look, he was surprised and said, "Instructor of the Third Department!"

"Long time no see, Asuka!"

A man with gray hair on his temples, a slightly thin figure, wearing a pair of glasses, and looking at Asuka Shin with a smile on his face came over. It was Asuka Shin's chief instructor at Zero Flight Training School - Masami Miko.

As everyone knows, Atlantis is the official application of the Max power system, and Snow White is the experimental machine of the new Max power system, but in fact, before them, there was a full-size experimental machine - Max power system experimental machine No. 0, code-named GW-01MO-0!

Like the Snow White, it was also modified based on the Feiyan-2005 platform. An observation and data collection module was added to the nose and a Max propulsion system thruster module was installed at the tail. It has been used to verify and test the Max propulsion system since . Although the data did not reach the ideal state, it showed extremely high stability and was praised and recognized by the scientific community. Coupled with the plasma accident at the end of the year, the Max propulsion system has since become the main force.

The pilot of the Max Power System No. 0 experimental machine is Sanke Changmei.

Not to mention Fei Niao Xin, even Lina and Xincheng's group of pilots were trained by Sanke Changmei.

Because before the establishment of the G Agency, the predecessor of the Victory Team, Miko Masami had already become proficient in flying the Hiyan No. 1. He was a pilot of the same generation as Iruma Kei's late husband, Miura Katsuto, and when he was young, he was also responsible for the testing and flight of a large number of aircraft models.

The most famous Feiyan series of fighters use the Wing power system. The initial test models were codenamed UN-XA and UN-XB. UN-XA is a small aircraft with high maneuverability for emergency response, and UN-XB is a large transport aircraft specially used for transporting supplies, equipment and personnel.

However, the HPE space/air engine developed based on the WING power system used at that time was designed with the so-called "arrogant ideal" of flying farther than long-range aircraft, being faster than supersonic aircraft, taking off and landing better than helicopters, carrying more than transport aircraft, and being able to reach outer space better than the space shuttle.

To achieve this goal, not only is a large jet nozzle installed at the tail, but jet holes are also deployed on the wings and belly. Propulsion jet holes are installed inside the variable wing, and jets are ejected from the trailing edge of the wing at a free angle, making the main wing and the jet airflow become one. At the same time, by controlling the jet angle and changing the direction of the main wing itself, it can become a lift-generating wing and a fuselage control wing, thereby achieving free flight including vertical ascent and descent that exceeds previous maneuvers.

This is an unprecedented way of flying and a bold attempt by the Kashiwamura team. Both the wing and the jet system must use new technologies and new materials, which puts higher requirements on the reliability of the new materials and the safety of the entire aircraft.

Especially the core engine, not only has its complexity increased several times, but the accuracy of its output power has also increased more than ten times.

If the previous fighter engine is compared to a gas tank, then it is connected to a gas stove and can be turned on to the desired level of fire. But now, it is connected to dozens of pipes, and the amount of gas required by each pipe is not only different, but also changing all the time.

It's fine for steady flight, as the frequency and amount of changes are not large. But once a large-angle maneuver is performed, the power output of each nozzle changes frequently every second. The entire aircraft has dozens of nozzles and hundreds of pipes, and the complexity is so high that it makes people's scalp numb.

And it's not just the frequent changes. During vertical takeoff and landing, the instantaneous output power is so high that the pipes and nozzles need to withstand extremely high temperatures and explosive pressures.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is equivalent to asking for a knife that can both carve patterns on tofu and chop bones, which is definitely the client's requirement.

If fighter jets previously only needed to be accurate to three or four decimal places, now they need to be accurate to dozens of places to meet the requirements. The large aircraft code-named UN-XB is not bad, after all, it is large in size and naturally has a lot of space, which can be equipped with sufficient instruments and equipment, safety devices, and protective facilities.

But UN-XA is different. The size of the aircraft itself is small and the operating space is very limited, so the difficulty is naturally extremely high. It is also the focus and difficulty of the Kashiwamura team's research. Two full-size experimental aircraft were built, and repeated test flights and experiments were carried out to collect more data.

One aircraft was tested by Masami Miko, while the test pilot of the other aircraft was Katsuto Miura. During a test of switching modes between normal flight and vertical take-off and landing, the main wing malfunctioned and the aircraft was destroyed and the pilot died.

But their blood, tears and sweat made the WING system progress rapidly. It passed the recognition and acceptance of the Earth Defense Force, and funds were allocated for the Kashiwamura team to develop a new type of aircraft using the Wing power system as the engine - Project Fair-Wing, code-named FW-1 and FW-2.

The basic structure inherits the UN-XA and UN-XB, which are WING power system verification aircraft, but the body and layout have been significantly modified to make it a spacecraft with hypersonic speed, ultra-long-distance flight, special maneuverability, and can also be used in outer space.

The surface of the fuselage is covered with special armor materials that can withstand the high temperature and high heat environment when passing through the atmosphere. The space under the belly is equipped with a universal docking port, which can suspend a variety of equipment. The nose of the fuselage can also be replaced in a modular manner, and different equipment can be installed according to different situations.

For example, the magazine module, in addition to high-explosive rockets for attack, can also launch rockets with different functions such as signal flares, flares, fire extinguishing bombs, and freezing bombs.

Firefighting facilities for forest and urban firefighting can also be installed according to demand; simple transportation facilities transformed from general containers can be used to transport emergency supplies when large transport aircraft cannot land; detection facilities for detecting and collecting electromagnetic, sound, multi-band light and other data;

The most notable feature is the design of the giant robotic arm. It was originally designed to cooperate with the super mode, so that it could move huge heavy objects under vertical take-off and landing. However, due to material and strength issues, it only exists in the design draft and has not entered into practical use. It was a bold innovation and attempt, but it was abandoned due to reality.

The reason why Chiba Makoto knew all this was because of the transformable robot plan he had previously proposed to the headquarters, which included a huge robotic arm designed mainly for disaster relief.

In addition to the collapse of buildings caused by monsters, natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanoes will all produce huge and extremely heavy rocks, which will cause great obstacles to rescue. The transformable robot combined with the robotic arm is not only flexible, but also more operational than conventional engineering machinery.

It was precisely this design that made the headquarters readily approve the plan for the transformable robot, considering that even if it cannot be used in combat, it can still be used for rescue. Not to mention the subsequent modifications, there is also the idea of ​​using the transformable robot in the construction of interstellar bases and space stations, which has huge development potential.

These, like the Plasma Hyakushiki, were kept secret. The only thing Asuka Shin knew was that Miko Masami was his chief instructor at Zero Flight Training School, and that he was very caring towards him. Therefore, seeing Miko Masami here surprised Asuka Shin, and he couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Miko, why are you here?"

Before Sanke Changmei could answer, a slightly older voice came from behind: "Look at our old friend."

Asuka Xin turned his head and saw an old man with a hunched waist walking towards him with a fierce look on his face.

"Captain of the Gate, thank you for your help." Chiba Makoto said with a smile and stepped forward to greet him.

"Captain Chiba, thank you for finding Plasma Hyakushiki." The man known as Daimon Squad Leader raised his hand and saluted Chiba Makoto, his words full of gratitude. He then turned his gaze to Plasma Hyakushiki, his eyes revealing sadness and nostalgia. After a long while, he said, "Finally I found you, old friend."

"Old friend?"

  Asuka Shin was startled. He was not a fool. The implication was that the instructor of the third department and the squad leader of Daimon were both related to Plasma Hundred Styles. Then, wasn't that related to his father?

Seeing that Asuka Nobu seemed a little confused, Sanko Masami said, "Team Leader Daimon was originally from the Zero Drive R&D team. After the accident, the Zero Drive was frozen and the R&D team was disbanded. Everyone left, but Daimon insisted on staying at the Carlo base on the moon, even as a maintenance team leader, and he stayed there for twelve years.

well!!!"

Speaking of the latter part, Sanke Changmei couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling helpless about Damen's stubbornness.

He had persuaded Damen more than once to develop in other places first, and then adopt Zero Drive navigation after technology advanced and materials achieved breakthroughs.

But Da Men rejected all good intentions, insisted on staying in the Carlo base, and refused all promotions, so that his peers and even his former subordinates all got high positions, while he was still a small technical squad leader.

"He wanted to protect the Zero Drive."

Sanke Changmei was filled with emotion. In the end, no one continued to persuade Damen. Instead, they provided various conveniences for him so that he could continue to stay in the Carlo base. They knew that Damen wanted to personally guard the sealed equipment related to the Zero Drive navigation method and perform regular maintenance on them.

Otherwise, even if no one treats them as scrap metal, they will be damaged due to long-term storage and lack of attention.

He has been guarding the temple like this for twelve years, from being strong and healthy to being old and frail, but he still does not change and continues to guard the temple.

If he hadn't discovered the Plasma Hundred Type this time, he probably wouldn't have left the Carlo Base.

Asuka Nobuyuki was surprised at the Daimon's perseverance, but he was even more surprised because they were both related to the Plasma Hyakushiki, and his father disappeared while driving the Plasma Hyakushiki, so he must know the reason for his father's disappearance.

So, Asuka Shin asked immediately: "Can you tell me how my father disappeared?"

Daimon's hand, which was stroking the Plasma Hyakushiki, trembled and stopped moving. Sanko Masami was silent for a moment and said, "I was right next to him at the time, and he disappeared in the light."

"Disappeared in the light? Are those rumors true?" Asuka Shin's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard similar rumors more than once when he was in Zero Flight Training School, but he was always half-believing and half-doubting. But now he was told that the rumor was true.
