Chapter 248: A Different Airshow (4)

In the photography area of the Haizhu Airshow, Li Mo, who had just experienced the baptism of hypersonic speed, was now staring in shock at the wave-rider aircraft slowly preparing to land on the tarmac.

The all-metal fuselage and the sharp wave-rider design made all the military enthusiasts present couldn't help but raise their cameras and start frantically taking pictures.

"This… this drone has no tail flame!"

"No black smoke from incomplete combustion!"

"My God! It's electric injection! An electric injection hypersonic drone!"

Some military enthusiasts with sharp eyes noticed something was wrong after taking a few shots.

In the past, when fighter jets passed by on the runway, the heat waves emitted from the tail could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

However, when this unassuming drone parked, not only could they not see the propellers of a quadcopter drone, but they couldn't even find the tail flame of a traditional aero-engine.

This made Li Mo and other professional military enthusiasts experience a cranial orgasm!

The so-called 'hypersonic' is a completely new concept that has only recently emerged in the military industry in recent years.

In the past, limited by materials and fuel technology, the flight speed of most missiles and aircraft could only be maintained at supersonic speeds within 4 Mach.

Even though the Americans have researched it for so many years, there has never been an aircraft within the atmosphere that can reach above 5 Mach.

Like the US military's current main fighter jets F22 and F35, or the retired SR71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, they all hover within this critical point of 3 Mach.

To break through above 3 Mach, it is necessary to add electrification technology to traditional oil and gas aero-engines.

The only country in the world that can simultaneously master the three magical skills of 'oil, electricity, and gas' to perfection is China, which has retained its complete industrial system.

Relying on its accumulated strength in recent years, China has launched one hypersonic military product after another.

Even the terminal maneuvering speed of ballistic missiles can reach above 20 Mach!

It can be said that it has brought the saying 'the only way to break through martial arts is speed' to the extreme.

After all, the world's current air defense systems, whether it is the US's THAAD, Patriot, or Israel's much-hyped Iron Dome, cannot intercept even entry-level hypersonic missiles of 5 Mach.

Not to mention sci-fi products above 20 Mach.

So, when the military enthusiasts discovered that this wave-rider aircraft was actually using an electric injection engine, the scene immediately exploded!

"What is the power of this engine?"

"With such a small volume, it definitely can't hold much fuel. It must be using batteries as energy!"

"Could it be that China's solid-state batteries have made a breakthrough? Didn't they say it would take a few more years to be launched on the market?"

The military enthusiasts were talking excitedly, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Some foreign spies mixed in among the tourists felt as disgusted as if they had accidentally eaten a green bottle fly covered in shit.

"The development of Chinese military technology is too fast!"

"Such a hypersonic drone, as long as it is equipped with a warhead, can be used as a suicide drone. A few of them can easily penetrate our country's aircraft carrier formations."

"With China's industrial base, it is no problem to manufacture 10,000 of these drones a day."

"Quickly send this news back to the Pentagon! We must find the manufacturer of this drone!"

Those foreign spies disguised as tourists began to take action.

However, they didn't expect that this hypersonic drone had just made its debut.

In the main venue of the Haizhu Airshow in the distance, a domestic manufacturer had already moved the prototype to its booth.

…

Inside the Magic Cube Group's booth, Wang Junzhen, the person in charge of this exhibition, was a little flustered.

Because just after playing their promotional video and moving the drone prototype named 'Yi Ri' to the front of the stage, many foreign military attachés came to inquire.

Some foreign businessmen with Arabic accents even explicitly expressed their desire to order this 'Yi Ri' drone.

As for the booth, the Magic Cube arm, Kua Fu engineering vehicle, etc., which were originally promoted as main products, were all left aside.

Of course, it is very normal to sell ground equipment at airshows.

Like the neighboring Norinco and Poly Group, they both brought light infantry equipment, as well as tanks and multiple rocket launchers to the airshow for sale.

As a private enterprise, it is naturally no problem for Magic Cube Group to come and promote its main products.

"Sorry, everyone, our Yi Ri drone is on the strictly prohibited export list."

"If you want to place an order for purchase, you must report it to the relevant departments to obtain customs clearance procedures." Wang Junzhen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As a sales representative of Magic Cube Group, Wang Junzhen, who is over 40 years old this year, is proficient in eight foreign languages.

He had worked in the foreign sales department of a state-owned enterprise for more than ten years. Suffering from not being able to be promoted, he was poached by Magic Cube Group with a high salary.

Except for those African black uncles who speak tribal dialects and cannot communicate, Wang Junzhen can communicate with any foreigner without any obstacles.

Just looking at these Arab businessmen constantly pointing at the Yi Ri drone and saying: "We want this! You can name any price!"

Wang Junzhen looked at these buyers waving checks and felt a headache.

Because this thing has exceeded his handling authority, even if Magic Cube Group wants to sell it, the relevant departments will not allow a component to go abroad.

"Where's the chairman?"

"Why did he disappear?"

"He said he would help us share the pressure." Wang Junzhen pulled an assistant aside and asked.

The little assistant also wiped his sweat: "The chairman said he went out for a stroll and would notify him if there was anything he couldn't handle."

Wang Junzhen looked exasperated: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and contact him!"

Because just now, Wang Junzhen had already spotted a large group of big local tyrants with checkered headscarves appearing at the entrance of the venue.

Compared to this group gathered here, who are either from Al-Qaeda or the Resistance Fox, those Middle Eastern princes with headscarves are the real big spenders.

There are only a few companies in the world that can afford China's advanced military fire.

So, Wang Junzhen reminded his team to show their best spirit and tidy up the messy booth.

When those Middle Eastern princes, surrounded by crowds, wandered to the Magic Cube Group's booth, many Arab businessmen tactfully gave way and bowed to these princes with one hand on their shoulders.

"Lin! Is this the company?"

"Is this the drone we saw on the tarmac just now?" The Middle Eastern prince pointed at the Magic Cube Group's prototype and asked.

Major General Lin nodded: "What you just saw is this Yi Ri drone. This is a new product jointly created by Magic Cube Group and our Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is still in the research and development stage."

Speaking, Major General Lin also waved his hand and asked Wang Junzhen and his sales representatives to personally explain the parameters of the Yi Ri drone.

After performance parameters such as 'range of 5,000 kilometers', 'maximum speed of 7 Mach', 'reconnaissance and strike integration', 'fool-proof operation', and 'free air-conditioned control room' were reported like a treasure.

The leading prince immediately showed an interested look, reached out and patted the railing surrounding the Magic Cube Group's booth: "Except for this railing, pack everything else!"

Major General Lin: "…"

Wang Junzhen: "…"
