Chapter 47

Look! There's a missile in the sky!

Chapter 47 Look! There's a missile in the sky!

"Ah Zu, are you really going to do this?"

Liu Xuelan asked with some concern.

"That's right! Opportunity knocks but once."

"If we shoot down this reconnaissance plane, let's see if the US dares to come again!"

After speaking, Wu Zu took the cable directly from Liu Xuelan and quickly connected it to the display screen and missile launcher next to him.

The screen flickered twice and then lit up, revealing a constantly flashing white dot with its coordinates displayed next to it.

Immediately afterwards, the indicator light on the missile warhead flashed twice, and the screen displayed the words: "Target locked, launch?"

At that moment, Liu Xuelan was so nervous that her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and she subconsciously grabbed Wu Guodong's hand.

Wu Guodong gently patted Liu Xuelan's hand to comfort her.

"Trust Azu!"

The two men simultaneously turned their gazes toward Wu Zu.

Wu Zu looked at the missile launcher more than ten meters away, took a deep breath, and then decisively pressed the Enter key on the keyboard.

"Whoosh!"

The HQ7 surface-to-air short-range air defense missile emitted a dazzling plume of flame from its tail before soaring into the sky.

Inside the radar laboratory of the Jiangnan Arsenal.

Everyone stared intently at the radar screen, their hearts pounding with tension.

Feng Zhenliang sat upright in front of the monitor, his eyes fixed on the coordinates at the bottom of the screen, while simultaneously transmitting the information to the pilots of the second squadron in real time.

"How far are you from the Jiangnan Arsenal?"

"Report: We are fifteen minutes away from the Jiangnan Arsenal!"

The pilot responded through the headset.

"Alright, maintain formation and continue advancing. I will keep you informed of the enemy aircraft's real-time positions!"

"receive!"

At this moment, Feng Zhenliang was extremely nervous.

He instinctively reached into his pocket, wanting to light a cigarette to calm himself, only to find it empty.

He turned to look at Lei Fu beside him, "Old Lei, have a cigarette."

Lei Fu quickly took out cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over. Feng Zhenliang took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and tried to suppress his excitement.

He glanced at his watch. "How much time has passed since the American reconnaissance plane was spotted?"

"Report, fifteen minutes have passed!"

"Fifteen minutes? It felt like fifteen hours!"

Feng Zhenliang took another drag of his cigarette. The fan above his head creaked and whirred slowly, but the room felt even hotter and more unbearable because of the crowded people.

Everyone was drenched in sweat, but no one wanted to leave. They were all staring at the radar screen, eagerly anticipating the historic moment of shooting down the American reconnaissance plane.

Last time, they almost managed to shoot down the U2 reconnaissance plane. If they can shoot down the Blackbird this time, it will definitely be a major international news story.

It's important to know that the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is legendary among all of the US's reconnaissance aircraft, packed with cutting-edge technology and the world's premier reconnaissance aircraft.

However, this thing is ridiculously expensive, and even the US itself has not deployed it on a large scale at various air force bases.

Historically, the number of times the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft has been shot down is extremely limited, and China has never had such a record before.

If this succeeds, it will undoubtedly be a miracle.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Feng Zhenliang glanced around and realized that Wu Zu was gone.

"What happened? Where did Ah Zu go?"

Everyone looked around, then shook their heads helplessly.

"I didn't notice when I came, I don't know where it went, I'll go look for it."

Lei Fu then got up.

After all, Wu Zu was the inventor of this air defense radar, so how could we leave him out at this crucial moment?

Just as Lei Fugang stood up, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside.

Everyone looked outside as if they had been electrocuted.

In the center of the concrete ground in the backyard of the laboratory, a flash of fire appeared, and the loud noise startled everyone present.

The lab technicians who were peering into the doorway quickly turned around and saw that the launch pad that had been holding the missiles was now completely empty.

Looking up at the sky, a missile was flying into the air, leaving a long trail of flame.

"My goodness, it's a missile!"

Someone couldn't help but shout.

Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed outside in a frenzy.

Inside the room, Professor Li was looking at the radar display screen when a small red dot suddenly appeared on it.

The speed at which the red dot moved shocked him greatly; the speed displayed below was astonishingly high, reaching Mach 2.5.

"Hiss! What's going on? Is that really a missile? Where did this missile come from?"

Professor Li's mind was in a mess, and without thinking too much, he hurriedly ran outside.

Everyone stood downstairs, looking up at the missile that was rapidly rising in the sky, their mouths agape in astonishment.

"My God, where did that missile come from? It's incredible!"

"Good heavens, launching a missile directly from the lab's backyard? This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

"Teacher Wu is incredibly daring! She dared to do this! If something goes wrong, we're all doomed!"

"He even knew to launch it from the yard, not from the rooftop. If it had been from the rooftop, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"We were still figuring out how to track the enemy planes when Teacher Wu had already launched the missile! It's unbelievable!"

Everyone chattered amongst themselves, looking up at the missiles flying in the sky, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.

Out of the corner of Feng Zhenliang's eye, he caught sight of Wu Zu's family of three not far away. Next to them was a display screen, and the radar signal displayed on the screen was exactly the same as that in the laboratory.

At this moment, Feng Zhenliang was completely stunned.

This is an experimental building, not a missile test launch site. Wu Zu actually launched an anti-aircraft missile directly in the backyard.

If the launch fails, everyone in the entire laboratory building will be in trouble. That's just too outrageous!

Lei Fu, standing nearby, swallowed hard, then exclaimed in surprise, "He just launched an untested missile right here?"

But at that moment, his gaze was drawn to the missiles flying in the sky.

at the same time.

Everyone else in the arsenal saw a missile launched from the direction of the laboratory and stopped what they were doing to look up at the sky.

Thousands of meters above the ground.

Theodore continued to circle in the air in his Blackbird reconnaissance plane, while Gray's camera kept filming the scene below.

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the radar screen of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Theodore immediately looked away from the screen and froze.

"Missile attack!"

Before Gray could react, Theodore had already swiftly pushed the engine power to maximum.

The intense push-back sensation slammed Gray hard against his seat, his facial expression contorted and distorted due to the excessive acceleration.
