Age of Empires From Scratch

David wanted to see the VF-25 fighter jets, but Luca of course had no objections, and took David directly to SMS—at present, all the newly built VF-25s are here at SMS, but there are no official ones.

When they arrived at the SMS station, Saotome Art found out that her friend Luca Angeloni was actually a part-time pilot in SMS.

Luca has flown the VF-25 fighter jet that I have always wanted to experience for countless times, and owns a dedicated electronic warfare fighter RVF-25.

At the same time, another friend, Michael Brown, also works part-time in SMS. Like Luca, he is a member of the SMS Skeleton Squad. Because he is good at sniping, he drives a sniper model VF-25G.

"..."

I feel inexplicably a little upset. Although I have never thought about joining a private military contracting company like SMS, the two of them are working part-time here without telling me. Isn’t it a bit too friendless?

After thinking about it, if it wasn't for David coming over, he would not have told the two about the information about Winter City and his training in Winter City.

Everyone has their own little secrets, and thinking about this makes my heart feel balanced.

At this time, David was looking at the VF-25 fighter in front of him. There were many VF-25 fighters parked in this hangar. In addition to the standard model, there were also four planes of the Skeleton Squad.

"VF-25, code-named Messiah, is jointly manufactured by Xinxing Industries and LAI, using the latest composite materials..."

Luca followed David through the hangar, stopping from time to time to accompany David to carefully observe a certain fighter plane, and by the way introduced the various data parameters of the VF-25 to David and Eva in detail.

VF-25, code-named Messiah, is 4.30 meters high, 18.72 meters long, with a wingspan of 15.5 meters and an empty weight of 8.45 tons.

The use of new composite materials has increased the strength of the aircraft's fuselage by 60 times compared to the previous generation of VF. The fuselage can withstand a high temperature of 2500 degrees, while reducing its weight by 35%.

The composite material used in the nose is stronger, can withstand high temperatures of 3200 degrees, and has better radio wave transmission characteristics.

In addition, the new generation of energy armor used by VF-25 has stronger defense strength, and is also equipped with vaporized armor. The invisible paint evaporates instantly when irradiated by high-energy lasers, diffusing the energy and reducing the output effect to less than 30%. .

In addition, the fighter is also equipped with a stealth stand, which can absorb 85% of laser energy and electromagnetic waves. The defense of the VF-25 is quite strong.

"VF-25 is equipped with two FF3001A STAGE2 thermonuclear engines jointly developed by Nova Industries and Royce, with a single thrust of 1620kn..."

Others such as a new generation of artificial intelligence system (the driver does not feel the existence of artificial intelligence), a short-range FOLD radar that can accurately detect the quality and quantity of objects that jump out of space within 100,000 to 300,000 kilometers, and can detect a distance of 50 light years The long-range FOLD radar and so on.

"There is also a layer of polymer coating made of FOLD crystal powder on the VF-25 fuselage, which can absorb radar waves 100%..."

David didn't interrupt Luca's introduction. Although he knew these data parameters a long time ago, listening to these introductions with the real objects in front of him gave him a special feeling.

Can't help but want to touch it. David looked at the color of the fighter in front of him. This red and white color scheme should be the Kiria who received the box lunch at the beginning, and then the fighter was inherited by Saotome Art. Tom's Skull 4.

He didn't put his thoughts into action, because he felt the knife-like gazes of those not far away.

Turning his head and looking over, it really included the current driver of Skull 4, Henry Killiam.

Smiling and nodding to the man who received the lunch early as a greeting, David looked at Ozma Lee who was standing next to Killiam. If possible, he would like to take this skeleton team The captain dug to Winterfell.

Because, this man who looks a bit vicissitudes is a very terrifying flag-pulling maniac.

No matter how many flags are planted before the battle, this guy can pull them all out with a ferocity that can rival that of Hawkeye Clint Barton.

As the captain of the skeleton team, after planting a lot of flags, he didn't die in battle!

It can be seen from this that this person's driving skills are very strong, and Winter City needs such talents.

As for when to dig? How to dig? This can be studied slowly.

After looking at the VF-25s of various models for a while, David also scanned all these fighters unconsciously - although he already knew the parameters of this fighter, the actual scanning can get a more accurate structure , Technical data, if there is more advanced technology on it, it can also strengthen itself.

After scanning, as long as the fire is strong enough, even the technology that Cybertron (Winter City) has not yet mastered can be quickly mastered, turning it into technical knowledge mastered by itself.

However, with the development of technology in this world, folding crystals (FOLD crystals) cannot be bypassed in many places. This special product of this world has various magical functions. If you want to perfectly copy and use various technologies in this world, folding Crystals are the most critical items.

"I'll have to ask Luca for some crystal samples later."

After visiting VF-25, David began to think about VF-27 again, but the plot has not yet started, and he has no access to the fighter code-named Lucifer for the time being.

David wasn't in a hurry either, because he didn't have to wait long.

On the way to SMS, he saw a lot of billboards about Shirley Nome's concert promotion. When the top singer of the new era came to the 25th immigrant fleet, it meant that the plot officially began. At that time VF-27, Vajura, etc. will appear one after another.

In fact, it’s okay not to scan the VF-27. After I have obtained the relevant technologies of this world, I have indirectly obtained various technologies of the VF-27.

The VF-27 itself is the same generation of fighters as the VF-25. The technology is not absolutely crushed. The real strength is that the pilot must be a modified person. Through the control of the mental link, the fighter can make more and faster reaction actions, and not Reasonable ghost and animal maneuvers.

As for the weighted beam cannon, LAI has this technology, and David can get it through Luca.

However, just leaving like this, David always felt that he was not enjoying himself enough.

"Can I actually drive it?"

"ah?"

Luka didn't expect David to make such a request suddenly, which made him a little bit at a loss as to how to deal with it.

"This..." Luca really wanted to ask his predecessor, Saotome Arte, does His Majesty the King of the Winter Kingdom know how to fly a fighter?

But when he turned his head to find Saotome Arte, he found that his senior was pulled aside by another senior, Michael Brown, and seemed to be chatting about something.

In desperation, Luca had no choice but to ask David himself: "Well, I don't know if you have received relevant training."

"Are you worried about this? Don't worry, I'm the strongest pilot in Winter Kingdom."

David is not bragging. With his physical fitness and reaction speed, the VF-25 cannot bring him any pressure. It can even be said that David is the chosen one who can truly exert the full potential of the VF-25 fighter .

Because even if the miniaturization of the inertial buffer is completed, the driver is still the biggest reason for limiting the actual combat power of the new generation of VF fighters.

In this regard, VF-27 chose to let the driver not be a human being; the newer generation of YF-29 tried to make up for the limit of the driver's own endurance by spending crazy money and piling more black technology on the fighter.

The final result is that neither the VF-27 nor the YF-29 has been mass-produced. Among them, the YF-29 can only exist as a technical verification machine, and it is not really listed at all, so it does not even have an official number.

As for driving skills, David, who has the body of Cybertron, can basically learn this knowledge in seconds. Even if he switches back to the normal state, his strong mental power allows him to quickly digest this knowledge, and his excellent physical coordination Ability that allows him to apply newly learned techniques.

Therefore, David didn't think it was an excessive reason for him to want to fly this fighter plane, but in the eyes of outsiders, this request was a bit outrageous.

Luca looked at David's expectant expression, and really didn't know how to refuse, especially now that he wanted to promote the cooperation between LAI and Winter City.

"I'll go discuss it with the captain!"

SMS is a private company, and the take-off and deployment of fighter jets is much simpler than that of the army, and it has a lot of autonomy.

Just complete a few simple procedures and you're ready to take off.

But no matter how simple it is, Luca still thinks that this matter is not that simple and can be negotiated.

Sure enough, after Ozma-Lee heard that the unknown young man wanted to drive the VF-25 himself, he decisively refused.

Are you kidding, can anyone just hang out in their plane?

"Captain, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to refuse directly?" At some point, Mihail Brown, who had finished talking with Saotome Arte, suddenly came over: "Looking at Luca, that man named David may have a lot of problems." Boss, if the other party directly contacts the upper management of the company, it will be even more troublesome."

Ozma had a constipated expression on his face, Mihail's words made sense, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

This is also the reason why he is very upset, no matter how unhappy he is, he still has to find a way to deal with this young master who appeared out of nowhere.

"Why don't you just agree! You can let him sit in the back row of me..." Killiam was going to take over the drudgery and take the son out for a flight, so as not to cause more trouble.

Unfortunately, he obviously misunderstood the situation.

"Mr. Glamorgan meant to drive a VF-25 himself, not sit in the back."

"..."

Seeing that Ozma's face became even uglier, Mihail immediately came up with a new idea: "In this case, let this Mr. Glamorgan prove his skills on the simulator first! If he really can Driving, it’s nothing to let him fly around.”

If you don't even understand how to open the simulator, it should make this young man who came out of nowhere give up that unrealistic idea, right?

Is the other party willing to accept the simulator test?

This is simpler. The fighter plane needs to do some preparations for departure, so it is said to use the simulator to pass the time and wait for the completion of the preparations, and warm up by the way.
