Chapter 792 Come, come, shall we make the weasel "become an immortal"?
Jiang Xia looked up, his gaze fixed on the silver figure soaring through the sky, and subconsciously activated the scanner. Invisible ripples instantly enveloped the warplane in the sky, and its internal structure and modification details unfolded clearly in Jiang Xia's mind like a three-dimensional blueprint.
Il-28, no, it should be called Il-28 Modified!
The bomber's aerodynamic shape has been significantly modified. The originally transparent navigator's cabin has been completely eliminated, replaced by a streamlined nose with sharp lines and riveted armor plates, and a pulse-Doppler radar has been installed inside.
Only one of the original two NR-23 cannons was retained, but the ammunition load was increased from 200 rounds per cannon to 600 rounds per cannon.
The wing, with its increased flap area and adjusted deflection angle, strengthens the connection between the pylon and the longitudinal beam by using forged connectors instead of the original riveted structure, enabling it to withstand the impact loads during a salvo of rockets.
两个机翼下方原本的BK-1Φ发动机，也换装了目前专供歼-6使用的涡喷-6改。整个发动机的直径也由1.2米减小到了0.8米。重量也足足减少了将近400公斤！
Thanks to the reduced engine size and improved thrust-to-weight ratio, four robust weapon hardpoints were added under each wing, creating a super-large configuration with a total of eight standardized hardpoints...
At this time, in addition to the auxiliary fuel tank, the pylon also carried two huge 57mm rocket launchers and two large booms.
The fuselage bomb bay was also modified into a large fuel tank filled with aviation fuel.
To counter stronger ground fire during low-altitude penetration, protective steel plates of varying thicknesses were welded onto key parts of the fuselage, such as the engine and the area around the cockpit.
Although these modifications increased weight and sacrificed some range and ceiling, they completely transformed it, turning it from a medium-to-high-altitude level bomber into a low-altitude beast born to swoop down on the ground.
A simple, brutal, yet effective temporary attack machine that meets the limits of current industrial capabilities.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to check the redundancy of the aircraft's electrical system, but the warhawk was flying quite fast, and in the blink of an eye it flew over the mountain with a roar.
Just then, a loud and proud voice came from the digital radio station; it was Uncle Xiong:
"Nephew! Did you see that big thing flying overhead? How about that? Isn't it impressive? That's the true essence of our old Factory 112! Tell me, aren't you tough enough!"
Jiang Xia frowned and grabbed the microphone: "Uncle Xiong! This improved attack aircraft... how did it fly out already? How long has it been? Even following the ideas I gave you, this improvement speed is too fast!"
"Pah! You brat! You dare question your uncle's efficiency?!" Xiong Huoyan seemed displeased upon hearing this, and his voice rose even higher. "It's been almost a month! You've been running wild outside for so long, do you think only three or five days have passed?!"
"It's been so long, and we're not building a new aircraft from scratch! It's mainly about structural reinforcement, replacing some avionics, and optimizing weapon loadouts and fire control logic! Our experienced workers are working overtime, three shifts a day! Why can't we speed things up?!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his tone filled with the heroic spirit of a "great battle": "And! Let me tell you! It's not just our own people from Factory 112! The top talents from the original Dongfeng 113 project team! And the few precious gems left behind after the Dongfeng 106 project team was disbanded! Even the people from the Seventh Research Institute, almost all of them came to help!"
"With so many elite soldiers gathered together, and we still can't fix this 'old hen' with targeted enhancements and modifications, we might as well just take our belts off and hang ourselves on a crooked tree! We can't afford to lose face like that!"
"A month has passed..." Jiang Xia subconsciously slapped his forehead upon hearing this. He had been so focused on developing the ground-penetrating radar, searching for minerals and capturing people, that he had almost forgotten the passage of time. He hadn't realized that so much time had gone by outside.
Money really is blinding...
However, Uncle Xiong, your talk of working overtime is still a bit worrying...
Jiang Xia pulled up the data from the scan and saw that the war eagle only emitted a faint red glow in certain areas, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, looking at the menacing attack aircraft and thinking about the petty thieves probably still futilely trying to move gold in the ravine, Jiang Xia couldn't help but give a wry smile into the microphone:
"Uncle-Master, the plane is really tough! And it did a great job! But... is it too much to use this thing to deal with a bunch of mine thieves? It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"
"Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Humph!" On the other end of the radio, Factory Director Xiong Huoyan's voice suddenly rose, laced with a protective and arrogant arrogance: "They dare to bully my nephew Xiong Huoyan! They dare to plot against state property! They're not chickens! They're damned little devils, weasels that dare to dig at the corners of the wall! They should be chopped up and fed to the dogs with a sledgehammer!"
"Perfect timing! Our improved 'Thunderclap' has just completed its factory test flight, and we're just looking for a place to conduct live-fire acceptance drills under realistic combat conditions! Let's take down these damn bastards this time! It'll give you some satisfaction, and at the same time, it'll test the new aircraft's performance—a win-win situation!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see the enemy running away in panic: "You little rascal, you always say you've missed a lot of things, but you haven't heard a single sound!"
This time! Your uncle will make up for this regret! Let you hear what our precious baby sounds like roaring in the sky! It'll be awesome! Hahaha!
Jiang Xia was speechless for a moment, then quickly reminded him, "Uncle-Master! Don't just focus on having fun! We haven't even figured out exactly where those guys are hiding yet. The forest is so dense, isn't it a waste of fuel and precious lifespan for 'Thunderclap' to wander aimlessly in the sky?"
"Huh? By the way, this improved version is called Thunderclap? It sounds pretty good!"
The boy with the dazed hair didn't mind that his drawings had been renamed; after all, the original name he gave them was best left unsaid...
"Hey! You're lecturing me now?" Xiong Huoyan snorted smugly. "Let me tell you, your uncle is sitting right here in the 'Flying Cat Car'! I'll try that... radio signal strength triangulation method you casually mentioned back when you were working on digital radio!"
"And..." His voice suddenly lowered, tinged with a secret excitement, "This operation followed proper procedures and got approval from above! Otherwise, could this big guy just fly over like that? Oh, by the way, speaking of which, what's wrong with your lousy radio? The commander wanted to call you directly to ask about the situation, but couldn't get through no matter what he tried, he was furious!"
Jiang Xia chuckled upon hearing this and explained, "Uncle-Master, this is one of the earliest prototypes that I made by hand. Back then, the circuit board integration was low, so to ensure stability, it could only be made into a single-channel communication system. Just now, Sergeant Cheng was using this channel to contact his superiors, so naturally, no outside signals could get in."
"Alright! Stay there and don't move. The militia will be there soon. Wait and see your uncle roast some yellow peppers for you!"
"Oh, eh? Uncle-Master, which commander is it?"
"The 15th Army... I'll talk to you when I land!"
"Thumbs up..."
Another burst of rapid sounds came from behind. Well, Director Xiong, how many Flying Cat Cars have you been holding back? Three more Flying Cat Cars flew out from behind the mountain ridge.
Two of the Flying Cat cars flew low over the Jiangxia convoy and then lowered their altitude, dropping something down via a small parachute.
Chief of the guards stepped forward and received it; it turned out to be a large lunchbox commonly used by older men from Northeast China. Inside, it was still full of fragrant chunks of meat.
Oh, Uncle Bear really dotes on that silly little brat. He really wants him to eat meat and sing songs while watching those weasel spirits "attain immortality"?
