Alien Fighters Show Off!

Unmanned Attack Aircraft silently observed.

It carefully recorded how the Carson Naval Carrier Battle Group carried out their drills professionally and efficiently.

From the dispatch of combat aircraft, air readiness, to airborne early warning, sea-air coordination, to finally precise guidance and efficient interception.

The entire drill process was highly close to actual combat.

Such formidable strength truly deserved to be called the dominator of Earth.

What ordinary nation could pose a threat to such a carrier battle group?

Not being threatened in return was already fortunate enough.

So…

Should we deliver a big gift to them?

However…

The Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb carried by the Unmanned Attack Aircraft was no novel weapon.

When humans first tested the hydrogen bomb, they discovered that during the moment of explosion, a massive amount of radiation would interact with the surrounding air to produce the Compton effect, spewing out a large number of electrons and creating an extremely high electric field of several tens of thousands of volts within a range of several kilometers.

And the powerful electromagnetic pulse would spread at the speed of light to the extent that electronic devices thousands of kilometers away were affected; circuit breakers tripped, broadcast and television went out, streetlights went dark…

This method of attack was destined to not differentiate between military and civilian use—it utterly incapacitates electronic equipment without harming animal life.

And the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb in the system, if simply purchased for energy points, cost four hundred thousand per unit.

Such an expensive price clearly demonstrated its formidable combat effectiveness.

After all, it was the weapon of a higher-level civilization, designed for interstellar war.

In the vacuum of outer space, it could play a tremendously powerful role, but if detonated on Earth…

It would be total disaster!

All electronic devices on Earth, as well as satellites and space stations in outer space…

none would be spared.

Just imagine.

The entire globe having no internet, no electricity, everyone’s cell phones and computers destroyed, all enterprises and institutions’ servers scrapped.

Savings, loans, stocks, bonds, insurance, degrees, photo galleries…

Even the movies on hard drives, all gone.

What massive economic loss would that cause?

And planes in the sky would lose control and crash, speeding trains would derail, cars in motion would malfunction and stall…

What a disaster it would cause!

Once detonated.

It was estimated that the entire human economy would regress by at least ten years, and the number of deaths would be incalculable.

So…

To detonate or not?

Is there even a choice?

The power of the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb could not be reduced.

A weapon used by a higher civilization for interstellar wars, even at its minimal power, would suffice to destroy all electronic devices on Earth.

After all, Earth has its ionosphere!

The powerful electromagnetic pulse would reflect countless times within the ionosphere, exacerbating the destructive power.

It’s like a child lighting firecrackers in the open air—not very powerful.

But if thrown inside a can, the sound alone would be much louder, not to mention the power.

So…

The Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb really shouldn’t be detonated!

If detonated, human society on Earth would be doomed.

So…

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft initially set a speed limit for itself, temporarily at twenty Mach.

It couldn’t go too fast, or it would too easily be mistaken for extraterrestrials arriving.

Since Earth’s fastest intercontinental missiles also reached this speed at most.

However, they first need to shoot out from the Earth’s atmosphere and then plunge back down to reach such speeds.

Missiles typically used in the atmosphere for anti-air or anti-ship purposes could hardly exceed six Mach.

…

Additionally, it moved away from the carrier battle group, increasing the distance.

It couldn’t allow the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft to suddenly appear within their detection range.

Like a person appearing out of thin air in front of someone’s eyes; that would bring shock rather than deterrence.

Moreover, increasing the distance beforehand better facilitated initiating an attack.

From a distance, moving closer, the carrier battle group could also better display its combative capabilities.

The aircraft carrier’s early warning aircraft had an effective detection range of about five hundred kilometers.

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft quickly retreated over six hundred kilometers away.

…

Finally, it turned off its optical and infrared stealth mode.

Any flying object traveling within the atmosphere inevitably heats up due to air friction, and the engine also emits heat.

And the higher the altitude, the thinner the air and the colder the temperature.

At that particular moment, at an altitude of twenty thousand meters, the external air temperature had already dropped to minus sixty-seven degrees.

In such cold conditions, a high-speed flying object emitting heat could easily be detected by infrared thermal sensing devices.

And Earth’s strongest Stealth Fighter, using densely packed sensors and photoelectric probes on the aircraft body, could detect rockets within a thousand kilometers, large aircraft within five hundred kilometers, and fighters within a hundred kilometers without even initiating phased array radar.

Previously, the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft had been in stealth mode, making it undetectable by neither the ships on the sea surface nor the aircraft in the air of the Carson Naval Carrier Battle Group.

If the ‘enemy’ couldn’t see it, how could they show off?

…

The moment the stealth mode was disengaged, the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft flew towards the carrier battle group at a ‘slow’ pace.

Current human aircraft, whether civilian airliners or military fighters, maintained an economical cruise speed of about eight hundred kilometers per hour to save engine life and fuel consumption.

Military fighters only sped up under combat conditions.

Third-generation fighters needed afterburners to go supersonic but could only maintain it for less than ten minutes, as fuel consumption and engine strain were too great.

Meanwhile, fourth-generation Stealth Fighters, relying on their impressive aerodynamic shape, could sustain supersonic speeds for long periods without afterburners, but their speed wouldn’t exceed fifteen hundred kilometers per hour.

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft flew leisurely over.

Relying on its formidable detection capabilities.

Although still over 500 kilometers away, the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft had already detected airborne early warning aircraft, combat attack aircraft, and the carrier battle group on the ocean surface.

Even further away, over the land and seas islands, civilian airliners and military planes from other countries were also fully monitored.

…

The early warning aircraft was currently coordinating the combat attack aircraft through a joint tactical data link, conducting offense and defense drills.

It had completely failed to detect the steadily approaching Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft.

Listening to the radar operators, commanders, and pilots focusing entirely on air combat training within their voice communications was very lively.

For instance—”Roll quickly,”, “Damn it, you’re slow again,”, “Don’t panic, throttle up…”

“Cover me, cover me, left side, left side dear God,” “Engage afterburners, catch up, “Don’t climb hastily; it’s easy to lose speed…”

…

The air combat drills were in full swing.

The stealth capabilities of the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft were too strong; the carrier battle group had still not detected it.

Radar detection works because the emitted electromagnetic waves hit an object and receive an echo back.

Using this principle, humans developed stealth fighters utilizing a special aerodynamic shape and absorbing materials to prevent certain radar frequency waves from reflecting back; however, very long-wavelength electromagnetic waves were unavoidable.

For instance, human stealth fighters were easily detected by meter-wave radar.

Alas…

The Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft was obviously too superior.

Special body materials absorbed the incoming radar waves; how could there be any reflection?

Regarding this,

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft activated its belly-mounted signal amplifier.

Similar to the stealth fighters’ Luneburg lens, which uses a multifaceted reflection principle to help radars detect them easily,

The signal amplifier of the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft was activated when returning to the starship to better identify itself and guide its automatic docking.

In an instant,

The sleek body of the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft sprouted two diamond-shaped multifacets.

Its aerodynamic shape was altered, making it easier for the radar waves to form reflections.

Indeed!

The effect was immediate!

The radar operator in the early warning aircraft urgently reported,

“Report, a suspicious aircraft detected, no identification signal, bearing 235, speed 900, distance 450, altitude six thousand!”

After the crisp and succinct report, an air situation commander immediately issued an order,

“Gray Wolf 03, proceed to investigate immediately!”

Sending a single combat attack aircraft was quite reasonable for a lone flight vehicle.

Nowadays, with advanced aviation, there are too many types of aircraft.

For flight safety, many international rules have been agreed upon.

For instance, any aircraft must activate its transponder while flying to let other aircraft and navigation stations know its identity and detect its distance and bearing; military aircraft only turn off their transponders when entering specific airspace, to facilitate training or combat operations.

Also, therefore, whether it’s for war or drills, notifications are made in advance to declare no-fly zones in certain areas.

At this moment,

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft, not having a transponder and thus an unidentified flying object,

And blatantly flying towards the carrier battle group.

What if it was an aircraft with malicious intent?

Colliding with a carrier would be disastrous.

According to international practice, upon spotting an unidentified flying object that can’t be contacted, fighter jets are immediately deployed.

That’s also why news reports mentioned the incident of someone flying a drone near a civilian airport, endangering the safety of commercial aircraft and prompting emergency fighter jet interceptions…

At this moment,

A combat attack aircraft, originally engaged in air combat training, immediately rushed in at full speed following the guidance of the early warning aircraft.

Flames burst violently from the aircraft’s twin tail nozzles, appearing as two elongated blue light columns, strikingly visible.

The surging power boosted the aircraft’s speed dramatically.

It quickly broke the sound barrier, approaching at speeds exceeding 1200 kilometers per hour.

The Unmanned Attack Aircraft adjusted its course and surged towards the Carson to collide,

resembling a missile about to strike from the sky.

In a flash,

The radar operator inside the early warning aircraft shouted vehemently,

“Report, the unknown target is rapidly approaching the mother ship, bearing 275, speed 1300…”

Before he could finish his report, the air situation commander decisively ordered,

“Gray Wolf 03, execute a simulated attack immediately!”

At the command, the intercepting combat attack aircraft immediately activated its fire control radar and locked onto the Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft.

The fire control radar, by emitting continuous radar waves, provided the final warning before launching a missile,

akin to aiming the muzzle at the head, threatening to fire if not complied with.

If it were indeed a troublemaking aircraft, it would typically back off immediately; nobody wants to provoke a war during peacetime.

However…

The Dark Arrow Attack Aircraft didn’t alter its course, instead speeding directly towards the carrier.

In an instant!

The alert blared across the carrier battle group, elevating to first-level combat readiness.

All radars powered up, all weapons unlocked.

The two armed combat attack aircraft hanging with live ammunition immediately executed an emergency launch.

The missile cruiser and destroyer on the periphery, swiftly through the phased array radar, locked onto the target.

At one command,

Two muffled booms sounded.

Two surface-to-air missiles roared into the sky…
