Giles' guess was correct. The weapon that caused their temporary blindness was indeed a microwave weapon.
This microwave weapon was the prototype product of Fallout Shelter 027. It was known as the "Strong Light Suppression Weapon" in the laser array air defense system. It was used by countries as a "peaceful expulsion" method to repel illegal aircrafts.
However, this weapon only existed for a short period of time and was thrown into the grave of history at the end of the 21st century. The future war was almost dominated by drones. Even if piloted aircrafts were never eliminated, they gradually became a supporting role in aerial combat.
Not to mention, a fighter flying at Mach 10 would have an acceleration of more than ten G when it made a turn in the air. If the turn was too large, the pilot's eyeballs would pop out. No matter how fast the human brain's reaction speed was, it was far less than the reaction speed of AI.
From identification to locking to destruction, while the pilot was still confirming the target, the AI might have calculated the trajectory.
However, for the modern world, where the sixth-generation fighter was still in the exploration stage, this weapon was a divine weapon in aerial combat. It was equivalent to blindfolding the opponent's pilot in an aerial battle.
Of course, the so-called "divine weapon" here was more in the sense of deterrence.
In a real battle, when the enemy aircrafts had already flown into the defense radius of the laser array air defense system, it would be far more efficient to directly attack the wings, ammunition depots, and fuel tanks of the enemy aircrafts with high-powered lasers than to "blindfold".
"It's perfect." Inside the New Moon Island military base, Jiang Chen looked at the two F-35Cs flying around on the holographic screen and couldn't help but exclaim. He looked at Ivan standing across from him. "Who is the captain of the flagship?"
Ivan immediately replied.
"The captain of Ange, Colonel Lei Zheng."
"This Lei Zheng is a talent. He handled this matter well."
Jiang Chen exclaimed in admiration as he already thought of how to deal with the video.
Didn't you plan to have a military exercise? Okay! Didn't you plan to show off your muscles to the Asian allies? No problem! Not only will we not cause trouble for you, but we'll also support you!
Let's not talk about the plane first. The maneuvers of the two pilots were quite good! Celestial Trade can testify that they definitely did it with their eyes closed! As to why they closed their eyes?
Hehe, that's a long story …
There was only one thing on Jiang Chen's mind, which was when he should play this card to maximize its effect.
…
It had been more than a week since he returned to Hua. During this time, Lu Hao hadn't rested. He was either called by the department for meetings or went to the leader's office to give a report. From the grassroots to the central, it was as if everyone had been wound up, but they couldn't find a unified direction.
He understood the impetuous and contradictory atmosphere that permeated the upper echelons of the Republic, and he also believed that the rest of the world should be feeling the same.
Whether they would become history or become history, no one was prepared.
Their opponent was an extraterrestrial civilization that they had never met before. Other than knowing that they possessed powerful biotechnology, the Earth civilization knew nothing about them. However, Lu Hao was also very clear that he couldn't be too demanding on this matter. In the face of an extraterrestrial civilization that could already cross galaxies, it was not easy to muster up the courage to fight.
Of course, his exhaustion wasn't just because of the meeting. There were also other reasons.
The people at the top seek a way out, while the people at the bottom seek benefits.
A semi-state-owned aerospace technology company had already contacted him twice, hoping to find out the direction of the future development of the Earth Fleet from him. Which ship type should we prioritize? Should they focus on researching engines or weapons? Or armor, or even a shield?
However, it wasn't that easy …
Not to mention Lu Hao, even the Earth Fleet didn't know where they would go in the future. Perhaps that man could see further than others, but he wasn't God after all. For the distant future, he would also feel confused.
Astronautics and astronomy, which were once unpopular, had become one of the hottest subjects today. It wasn't just those businessmen who smelled of money. Many people from the academic world also came to him to sell their theories. All kinds of papers were stuffed in front of him, begging him to take a look.
Some of these people did it for fame, and some did it for profit.
In this day and age, professors didn't necessarily do scientific research, but even graduate students could write papers. Many universities even used SCI papers as a hard indicator to evaluate academic performance. In such a big environment, anyone could stand up and give advice.
As for those scholars and experts, if their ideas were finally recognized by the Earth Defense Alliance Committee, it would mean that they would have the opportunity to become a distinguished guest of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee, or even a technical consultant. Even if they did poorly in a university or research institute, they could become a leading figure in the academic world and even leave their name in history.
However, the root of the contradiction was.
Everyone thought they were correct, and they could even say it with evidence.
But it was too easy to falsify this point. Just flip through the science fiction novels of the early 20th century and look at the year 2000 written by the authors to know how unreliable human fantasies were.
These days, Lu Hao was either in meetings or dealing with piles of papers and research reports.
Sometimes he really wanted to put all these things into the shredder, but he couldn't put them down. In his subconscious, he also hoped to see a paper or research report that would make his eyes light up and point out a bright path for the Earth Defense Alliance.
To be honest, from his standpoint, he was naturally a supporter of the aircraft carrier battle group theory. However, the words that Wu Changfeng said to him in the elevator made him doubt his previously unwavering belief.
Lu Hao sighed and leaned on the sofa in the living room. He rubbed his sore eyebrows and threw the paper in his hand on the table. His eyes drifted to the globe on the windowsill.
Just then, there was the sound of a key turning at the door.
When he looked up and saw that mischievous little head, the corners of his mouth curled into a kind smile.
It was his youngest son, who was in the first grade of elementary school. He just came back from school.
Seeing his father sitting on the sofa, the little guy immediately ran over happily. Without even changing his shoes, he threw away his schoolbag and climbed onto his father's lap.
"Dad, Dad! Are you working in the Earth Defense Alliance now? "Blinking his innocent big eyes, the little guy shook his arm with admiration.
"Sort of." Lu Hao touched his son's head and said with a smile.
It was no secret that he joined the Earth Defense Alliance Committee. CCTV even did an exclusive interview with him and Wu Changfeng. However, in the interview, he only mentioned the duties and obligations of the Earth Defense Alliance and generally stated that the Earth Defense Alliance would form an interstellar fleet to intercept the colonization ships of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Kuiper Belt.
As for the topics discussed at the committee meeting, and even his own status as a member, these sensitive issues were deliberately downplayed by him …
"That's great! My classmates didn't believe it and said I was lying. " The little guy waved his little fist excitedly and continued to look at him with admiration. "Then Dad, Dad, do you know how to drive a Gundam?"
Gundam?
Lu Wei shook his head with a smile.
Only the Gundam was out of the question.
Having said that, he couldn't bear to disappoint his son's hopeful eyes, so he said in a comforting tone, "Your dad is too old to drive a Gundam. So, the task of driving a Gundam will be handed over to Lele. Lele, promise Dad, you have to study hard. "
"I can drive a Gundam if I study hard?" Lele's pupils flashed with excitement.
"Of course!" Lu Wei said with a smile.
With a positive answer, the little guy climbed down from his father's knee, skipped out of the living room, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Looking at his son's excited back, Lu Wei's mouth curved up, and a touch of fatherly kindness appeared in his eyes.
Even if it was to protect the little guy's smile, at least he couldn't let him down …
With that in mind, he shook his head and picked up the paper he threw aside.
What is the war in space like?
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly thought of a person.
A person who might give him an answer.
