Chapter 1276 [We are responsible for imagination, you are responsible for realization]

After a while, Fang Hong suddenly had an idea. He turned to look at the technical director and said, "It would be great if this bionic flapping-wing aircraft had the ability to 'reconnaissance and strike at the same time'. Is this direction feasible?"

Upon hearing this, the technical team leader immediately replied, "We are developing in this direction for the next generation. The second generation of Hayabusa will be upgraded to have the capability of 'reconnaissance and strike integration'. The result of the technical feasibility study shows that it is completely feasible. At the 'strike' level, we have adopted methods including but not limited to self-destruction to attack, and it can be manufactured in large quantities at low cost."

Hearing his affirmative answer, Fang Hong also smiled: "It seems that great minds think alike."

Imagine a group of birds suddenly appearing in the sky. Normally, no one would pay attention to them. But they suddenly dive towards their target like peregrine falcons and then explode.

Even if the damage is caused by pure kinetic energy impact, it is still a fatal attack for a carbon-based creature.

As for the research direction of the next generation with "all-in-one shrapnel and strike" capability, if the enemy target is light infantry, then self-destruction will be used directly, and its own structural material is the best shrapnel splash damage; if the enemy target is some tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles, then an armor-piercing shell, armor-piercing shell, etc. can be carried specifically.

Once the bionic flapping-wing machine has the ability to "fight and integrate" and appears on the battlefield on a large scale, it will be an absolute nightmare for the enemy from their perspective. Whenever a flapping-wing machine flies by, you will be scared to death, because you can't tell whether it is a real animal or an unmanned machine that has been biomimetic to an animal.

You must always maintain a high level of vigilance and not relax, which in itself is a double physical and psychological consumption and torture. If you dare to relax your vigilance and ignore some birds around you, what if it is a bionic unmanned machine?
The scariest thing is not being able to discover it, and the moment you discover it, it also means you have been exposed.

This lightweight bionic flapping-wing drone is basically impossible to detect with radar. It can be broken down into small pieces when deployed and cannot be detected by the naked eye or optical equipment. Who would care if one or two birds fly over your head?
In addition, it can fly close to the ground and among forests, making it even more difficult to detect by radar.

If a large-scale deployment will increase the risk of being exposed, then move out in batches. When you arrive at the destination, you can stop on trees, grass, or other highly concealed terrain. While conducting reconnaissance, you can also lie in ambush and wait for subsequent "friendly forces" to arrive. Then, at the command, move out collectively. When the enemy discovers the sudden appearance of a large "flock of birds" attacking, it will no longer have time to react.

After Fang Hong visited the flapping-wing drone, Ma Gaoyuan took him to the company's R&D center, where there was a huge pool. At this moment, there was a huge manta ray in the pool, but it was not a living creature, but a bionic machine.

"This is another key project of ours, the bionic manta ray soft-body submersible. Last month, it completed deep sea trials in the Xisha Islands of the Nanhai Sea, successfully achieved a deep-sea test of 1125 meters, and passed the national acceptance of key deep-sea technologies and equipment. This unique and creative technological breakthrough was created by a team of graduates from Northwestern Polytechnical University." Ma Gaoyuan, who was standing by the pool at the moment, introduced with a smile.

It has to be said that the founder of this bionic power company is very fond of recruiting people from Northwestern Polytechnical University, and the team that came out of Northwestern Polytechnical University is indeed powerful.

The team leader of the project is still at sea with his team and has not returned yet. Ma Gaoyuan continued to introduce to Fang Hong: "The bionic manta ray has shown great potential for military applications during the test. It is also another top achievement in the development of bionic technology of our company. It draws on the swimming method of manta rays. Its flat streamlined body gives manta rays the ability to glide thousands of kilometers underwater."

"We have designed multiple models of our bionic manta ray submersible. The light version has a wingspan of 2 to 3 meters and weighs 50 to 500 kilograms. The heavy version has a wingspan of 6 to 9 meters, can glide for 40 hours, dive for more than 80 days, weighs 1.5 to 6.5 tons, and can perform missions in the deep sea thousands of meters underwater."

"Its powerful performance enables it to hide in the deep sea and play an excellent role in 'attacking the enemy by surprise'. It is also a submersible with 'reconnaissance and strike in one' capability. It can cruise in hot spots for a long time and carry out surprise attacks. It not only plays a role in reconnaissance and defense, but also can monitor enemy frogmen."

"If they form a group and swim among the fish schools in the deep sea, they can launch a surprise attack on enemy targets and easily ambush enemy ships, submarines, etc. Because of their highly bionic characteristics, it is difficult for the enemy sonar to detect and identify whether it is a real fish school or a deep-sea suicide attack machine."

"If a group of manta rays quietly approached the enemy fleet from a depth of a thousand meters underwater, even if the enemy had an advanced missile defense system, it would be difficult to resist such a suicide attack. This is a typical asymmetric strike method against the enemy."

At this moment, Fang Hong, who was standing by the pool, was listening to Ma Gaoyuan's introduction while keeping his eyes on the bionic manta ray machine swimming in the pool. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Has the project team ever thought of such a research direction?"

Ma Gaoyuan looked at him curiously: "What direction?"

Fang Hong stared at the pool and said slowly: "The shape of the manta ray is very much like an aircraft. Can we modify it so that it can not only move underwater, but also jump out of the water and fly directly into the air? If we can do this, we can sneak from the deep sea to break through the enemy's blockade at sea, infiltrate the enemy's rear area and attack its military ports or important strategic industrial facilities along the coast."

Ma Gaoyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "I haven't thought about this, but if you want to fly from underwater to air and realize the dual switching between diving mode and flying mode, the technical difficulty will probably be doubled and doubled. I can't say whether the current technical level can do it."

Fang Hong smiled slightly and said straightforwardly: "Then let's discuss it carefully to see if it is feasible. We are responsible for imagination and you are responsible for realization."

The capabilities of this bionic manta ray submersible can be considered as black technology in modern times, giving it the ability to form an asymmetric attack against the enemy.

It doesn't even need to actively launch an attack. It only needs to follow the enemy ships quietly and provide target guidance for anti-ship ballistic missiles, allowing the enemy fleet to experience what it means to be struck by a palm falling from the sky.

The bionic manta ray structure just leans there like a carpet, and there is no sonar reflection at all.

Moreover, when swimming among a school of fish, the commander of the enemy ship, unless he has lost his mind, will never actively turn on the sonar to drive away the school of fish. Doing so is tantamount to turning on a super bright flashlight in the dark night, for fear that others will not find him and that his position will not be exposed.

If this is the case, there is no need to actively search for and detect the enemy's coordinates. The other party will directly expose itself. By exchanging an unmanned submersible for the coordinates of a fleet, the profit cannot be greater.

In the modern advanced warfare mode, once discovered, it is destroyed, and once exposed, it is equivalent to sinking.
