The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

74. Phantom Fighter, first flight!

It's no wonder Tang Xiao is so excited, because the construction of Liming City has been stalled for a long time. What needs to be built next includes some large factories and large buildings. The engineering mechanized exoskeleton they are using now is simply not enough.

The SCV is different. This kind of universal engineering mech can go up to space battleships and go down to various buildings. There is nothing they cannot build and repair.

Once the SCV is put into use, Graham submitted the application very early, and the thick stack of construction plans that are still on the desk in his office can start immediately!

It is foreseeable that large-scale machinery factories, parts factories, large-scale cloud computing centers, large-scale airports, etc. can make Dawn City leap into a comprehensive large-scale city.

"This...how the development of SCV is so fast!" Tang Xiao grabbed Qu Xuewen's arm, feeling extremely excited.

If it were any other occasion, Qu Xuewen would definitely be very excited because of this physical contact, but now she just rolled her eyes and said lightly: "Under the leadership of Professor Chi, the research and development of the Ghost fighter has almost been completed .With the technical accumulation of the Wraith Fighter, it is of course very fast to study the SCV, which is also a product of the Terran Empire (Terran) and has relatively low technical content."

She pouted towards the laboratory and said, "Dr. Feng Yongwang is in charge of this project now, and he has been transferred from the ghost fighter project. It is estimated that we will be able to use the SCV in two weeks at most. "

"Hahahaha! It's really great!!" Tang Xiao was overjoyed, hugged Qu Xuewen and kissed her on the cheek, then left the beautiful scientist who instantly turned into a stone sculpture and went to the next laboratory alone , "So what is this frame? It looks like a spaceship?"

"This is the engineering spacecraft of the Traders Emergency Alliance. It is still in the early stage of the project. After the Wraith fighter project is completely completed, we will start the research and development of this engineering spacecraft." Professor Chi's voice came from behind Tang Xiao.

"Professor Chi!" Tang Xiao turned his head abruptly, only to see Professor Chi Jianjun walking towards here with several members of the expert group.

"Manager, I received the notification before. I was still wondering why you didn't come over. I didn't expect you to be looking at SCVs and engineering spacecraft." Professor Chi nodded, and then asked: "The ghost fighter developed by Dr. Wang before Simulated operating system, how is your practice?"

Chi Jianjun is like this. He never shows mercy to anyone when he speaks. There is no dignity, only right and wrong. In fact, in this environment where everyone is very respectful to him, Tang Xiao sometimes feels that getting along with Chi Jianjun is more direct.

He nodded with a smile and replied: "I have practiced no less than a thousand times in the past few days! I am completely familiar with the operation of the Ghost Fighter."

"Very good, then let's start. This way please." Chi Jianjun turned around and led Tang Xiao to the hangar platform of the research space station.

A rolling door slowly opened in front of Tang Xiao's eyes, and a silver-gray fighter plane that looked like a "soldier" was quietly parked in the hangar. With an industrial structure, a powerful engine, and destructive weapons and equipment, this is the main fighter that Tang Xiao has been thinking about day and night for half a year——

CF/A-17, Wraith, Wraith!

Tang Xiao walked over and stretched out his hand to stroke the cold shell. His movements were very light, as if he was stroking the delicate skin of a girl. However, the tactile feedback told him that the armor of this aircraft was very thick.

This fighter is 18 meters long and has a maximum wingspan of 21 meters. There is no doubt that it is a weapon of the same level as the ARC-170 heavy fighter that is currently equipped with the latest equipment in the Galactic Republic.

In the cosmic environment, this means that this fighter has faster speed, stronger firepower, and can deal with various enemies.

And the fact is also true, in "StarCraft", the ghost fighter is a very flexible unit of the Terran Empire, which can be used to fight against almost all opponents. From the golden fleet of the Protoss to the Mutalisks of the Zerg, there is nothing that the Wraith can't deal with.

In the epic war between the three races, the Wraith Fighter almost ran through it all, exerting its own energy on every battlefield.

Tang Xiao sat in the cockpit of the Wraith fighter, took a deep breath, and started the engine as he had done thousands of times in the simulation system.

The anti-gravity device was activated, and the fighter plane slowly flew up until it was about 5 meters above the ground. The originally straight wings began to shrink inward into an M shape.

The engine revs faster and faster, and the color of the nozzles at the back gradually changes from blue to white. At this time, Professor Chi's voice came from the communication: "It's time to take off."

The corners of Tang Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, and he pushed the joystick suddenly, and the fighter jet flew out of the hangar platform like an arrow flying off the string. This speed is like a flash of lightning, and the ground crew on the platform can only see an afterimage passing by in front of their eyes!

Flying out of the hangar platform, the originally retracted reverse flaps under the Wraith also began to unfold, which is also the complete fighting form of the Wraith. The fighter is equipped with two Gemini missile launchers, each with 10 bombs, and an infrared laser cannon is installed on each of the three wings.

Three laser cannons and 20 Gemini missiles literally armed the fighter to the teeth.

Tang Xiao drove the Wraith fighter plane towards the first target plane, and Professor Chi's voice came through the communication, "Try to shoot at a distance of 1,000 kilometers, using a laser cannon."

"Okay." Tang Xiao activated the fire control radar, locked on the target almost immediately, and pulled the trigger decisively when the data fed back in the driving helmet showed that the distance was 1,000 kilometers.

Three red laser beams were instantly irradiated on the target machine, and the blade fighter used as the target machine was immediately destroyed, turning into a ball of fire.

Next, he tested the Gemini missile. Under the aim of the more advanced fire control system of the Wraith fighter, Tang Xiao locked two target drones in completely different directions at the same time, and then launched the missile.

Two balls of fire exploded on both sides of the fighter almost simultaneously, and the weapon system test was almost perfect!

Tang Xiao only felt a burst of joy in his heart. He drove the Wraith Fighter through the universe like a shooting star. Whether it is acceleration or steering flexibility, fighter jets far exceed blade fighters.

Now Tang Xiao is very sure that if he had 20 Wraith fighters when Iron Fang-Kuken attacked, he would definitely not need to go through so much trouble, and he would be promoted directly.

Back at the hangar of the research institute, Tang Xiao jumped out of the cockpit, threw his helmet to the ground crew aside, and said directly: "After the final test is completed, all the blade fighters will be transferred to reserve service, and all the production lines of the mothership will fully produce ghost fighters. .For a long time to come, this will be our main fighter.”
