Chapter 999: We can!

Lu Zhou swears that this is definitely the most spectacular firework he has ever seen.
Of course, it is also the most costly one.
The airborne capsules that descend from the sky are like a meteor that cuts through the cold night. The surface coating vaporized by friction and the air waves actively sprayed by the buffer engine are woven into an umbrella-shaped fire arc to the ground at the speed of tearing the sound barrier. Overwhelming.
Standing next to a military jeep, looking at the airborne capsule that descended from the sky through binoculars, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually wrote a shocking look.
After a long time, he put away his binoculars and said quietly.
"... you really made this stuff?"
As the hostage of this counter-terrorism exercise code-named "Mission", Lu Zhou's position at the moment can be said to be the best spectator seat in the entire exercise.
It is for this reason that this shocking feeling is especially intuitive and strong for him.
I still remember that when Xiangrui just flew for the first time, on the way back, she tested the lightning escape cabin system in the experimental stage.
At that time, Lu Zhou and Director Li went to the Gurbantunggut Desert to select the site for the Tinder Plan. At the first glance of the lightning escape capsule, Director Li couldn't look away, and immediately asked him if he could use this thing. Children are used in the army.
Taking into account the cost reasons, Lu Zhou did not give an optimistic evaluation, just told him that this thing is equivalent to a space return capsule with an active jet system. If you can accept this expensive cost, try it out. Anyway.
After this sentence was finished, Lu Zhou didn't remember it clearly, but he didn't expect that Director Li not only listened to it, but also asked someone to make a technical demonstration, and made it out.
Standing next to Lu Zhou, Director Li, who also had a telescope on his neck, said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, I didn't expect that we still had a chance to make our academician Lu come back unexpectedly. It seems that these hundreds of millions of flowers are not lost."
"... how many billions?"
"The R & D expenditure is almost this number," said Director Li with an expression of emotion, looking at Lu Zhou with an unexpected expression. "In fact, don't say that you did not expect that when the secretary of the Air Force Equipment Department pulled me to talk about this, My expression is even more unexpected than you. "
"When the project was first proposed, not many people were optimistic about it. It was almost noisy when doing technical demonstrations. At the time, I was holding the idea of ​​whether I could succeed and have to try it. Get up. I did not expect that several old academicians of the Air Force Equipment Department and the Rocket Research Institute really did not live up to the expectations of the country and the people, and they really did. "
Lu Zhou: "It's not cheap."
Director Li nodded and said, "It's not cheap, it's for sure. None of the military-related things are money-saving. Fortunately, the cost of spaceflight is not high. The cost of sending people and equipment is acceptable and saved. A lot of expenses. In general, the cost of an airborne module is about equal to a medium-range missile, and this thing is as one-time as a missile. "
"In addition, this is the cost of a single airborne module. If the equipment of the orbital airborne soldiers and the accessories mounted on the airborne module are included, the cost may be about two intermediate-range missiles."
After more than two years of continuous improvement, the Thunder version, which is a military version, has evolved many improved versions based on the original Lightning escape module, which is a general version.
As its name suggests, rather than the "lightning" that places more emphasis on crew capacity and survivability, the "Thunder" places more emphasis on the ability to suppress airborne areas.
The so-called best defense is attack. When approaching 50 meters above the ground, the airborne module will actively spray a smoke barrage onto the landing area before hitting the ground target, and project simple bunkers and metals downwards according to the specific accessories. Fragments, or even cluster / bundle bombs, give airborne units a greater battlefield advantage, while also putting psychological pressure on defending the enemy.
In addition, in order to make more efficient use of space, Thunder ’s airborne cabins have streamlined a large amount of space for food, medicine, and survival tools compared to
lightning
escape capsules, and have a maximum crew capacity. From six to four, one seat in each of the four directions from southeast to northwest corresponds to four hatches that are pushed outward.
Having said that, the voice of Director Li also brought a little emotion.
"... However, although it is a bit expensive, the strategic value of the five airborne cabins is far from being comparable to that of ten medium-range missiles!"
While talking, the airborne module that descended from the sky had hit the hills two kilometers away, and a smoke barrage burst simultaneously as the airborne module landed.
Feeling the tremor from the ground, Lu Zhou looked at Yan Yan with her arms around her jeep.
"Speaking of it, should I cooperate and lie down here or something?"
Yan Yan joked: "If you want to cooperate, it's fine. May I help you?"
Lu Zhou glanced at his clothes.
"Forget it, I like this white shirt."
Suddenly remembered something, Director Li coughed and said: "By the way, if an accident really happens ... life is more important than the image."
Lu Zhou: "... I do n’t know, I know ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In the middle of talking, the lights are on not far away, a group of orbital airborne soldiers armed to their teeth and carrying paratrooper rifles in their hands, It has advanced to the side of the jeep and formed a defensive formation in place to protect the people around the jeep in the middle.
"Thunder squad has arrived in the target area, the target vehicle has been controlled, and the personnel are safe!"
"Continue to the next subject exercise!"
"Roger that!"
The voice of the head man always sounded familiar, but because the black combat uniforms armed these soldiers from head to toe, he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
As he passed by, he could feel that person glanced at him a few times and intuitively told him it was a grateful look.
He smiled and nodded to him. Lu Zhou didn't bother them acting, watching them disappear into the woods.
It took 49 minutes and 27 seconds from the launch to the airborne landing to advance to the hostage's area, which is more than ten minutes faster than the original one-hour pass.
On the battlefield, time is life. Even if there is only 10 minutes of evacuation time, the critical moment may change the trend of the whole battle.
The officer standing next to Lu Zhou glanced at the stopwatch and nodded his approval.
"It's lucky today. It's sunny. If it's rainy, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble."
Lu Zhou: "I think it's already strong."
"Yes."
Looking at the flare falling slowly in the sky, Director Li nodded, and continued to speak with emotion.
"Even the United States, which has spread its military bases all over the world, dare not say that it can send seals to any corner of the earth within an hour."
"But from now on, we can!"
