Chapter 149 Missile Hits
[Countdown to Changkong-25 missile hit: 2 second remaining.]
A barrage of 40mm grenades rained down, constantly disrupting the anti-aircraft fire of larger enemy units.
[Countdown to Changkong-25 missile hit: 1 second remaining.]
Another salvo of 120mm rockets successfully disrupted the last window of opportunity for large enemy units to engage in air-to-air combat.
[The Chang Kong-25 missile hit its target.]
A small, red mushroom cloud rose in the valley as two Changkong-25 missiles, each carrying a thermobaric warhead weighing nearly a ton, accurately struck the large enemy unit.
The orange-red fireball also enveloped a small portion of the enemy's charging group, melting them into pools of crystal-clear liquid.
The terrifying shockwave from the explosion of the thermobaric warhead followed closely behind, violently impacting the mountainsides on both sides of the valley.
Directly in front of the enemy assault group, dozens of small enemy units engaged in fierce combat with the unmanned combat group, though escaping the baptism of high temperatures, were impacted by this terrifying blast wave and slammed into the ground compacted by the passive energy projectiles at extremely high speed.
Dozens of small enemy units located on the east and west sides of the battlefield successfully escaped the baptism of high temperature and the fate of being killed by the blast wave, but they could not escape the fate of being blown away by this terrifying blast wave.
More than 10 minutes later, the valley returned to calm, and Lorraine received the latest battlefield footage taken by the airborne command aircraft.
A huge crater appeared where the original large enemy entity had been. The bottom of the crater was covered with a lot of crystal clear "glass". In the center of the crater, there was an oval object more than ten meters long struggling.
[The thermobaric warhead strike was effective; the enemy unit is incapacitated and unable to fight. Requesting the launch of two heavy bunker-buster missiles for follow-up damage.]
Lorraine selected two heavy bunker-buster missiles, inputted the latest enemy target characteristics transmitted from the front lines into the missiles, and then pressed the red activation button to launch the two missiles.
[Missile hit countdown: 17 minutes and 51 seconds]
Immediately afterwards, Lorraine slightly narrowed the view and saw a large number of oval-shaped, translucent spots on the ground to the south.
But before he could even finish looking at the photo, he received the current combat damage report for the unmanned combat group.
[Combat losses: 75.8%; non-combat losses: 0.13%; losses due to environmental changes: 7.9%; after recovery and repair operations, the airdrop task force is expected to have 83.2% remaining.]
Upon seeing the item "losses due to environmental changes," a big question mark popped into Lorraine's mind. He couldn't understand why environmental changes would lead to the loss of unmanned combat groups.
"Ta-ta"
Platinum's footsteps stopped beside Lorraine, and after a moment, she laughed at the confused look on Lorraine's face.
"Um?"
Seeing the still confused look on Lorraine's face, Zi Jin smiled and explained to him.
"The bunkers and trenches built by the engineering units can indeed protect unmanned combat units from the impact of blast waves."
She then pointed to the collapsed, broken, and slightly scorched trees in the picture and said...
"However, these trees cannot withstand the impact of the blast wave at close range. These old trees have enough weight to withstand the impact of the blast wave, and the initial velocity when they collapse and break will inevitably cause damage to the unmanned combat units inside the bunker."
"In fact, you should thank that giant pangolin on the other side. If it hadn't broken all the trees on the first line of defense, the entire hillside would have been engulfed in flames, and we might have lost even more unmanned combat units."
Lorraine looked at his unmanned combat unit and smiled helplessly.
"It would be great if there were more advanced unmanned combat units with better protection."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered the large number of armored vehicles stored inside the naval base.
Lorraine quickly recovered and ordered the air command to conduct a thorough reconnaissance of the surrounding battlefield to check for any remaining enemy personnel.
He then mobilized the unmanned combat units in good condition and sent them to clear the battlefield.
"Cleveland, monitor the battlefield and report any unusual situations promptly."
【receive. 】
Subsequently, Lorraine began searching for detailed data on the Type 21 wheeled armored vehicle family in the command center.
After finding the data for these wheeled vehicles, Lorraine sent a communication to Ouyang Nian.
However, Ouyang Nian, who was on the flagship, did not answer the communication sent by Lorraine immediately.
"Why did you call me?"
Five minutes later, Ouyang Nian connected the communication, and after her inquiry, Lorraine heard a faint but regular sound.
"What are you doing? Checking the drone?"
Instead of immediately stating her purpose, Lorraine inquired about Ouyang Nian's current work.
"Hmm, your previous bombing maneuver had a significant impact on the drone. I'm currently checking its condition with the help of the robotic arm."
"However, you should be prepared for the drone to be damaged."
Ouyang Nian put down the water bottle and used the portable terminal on his left arm to send the "health check reports" of these drones to Lorraine.
"These drones all have some problems with their wings. On one drone, some parts of the folding mechanism are deformed and cannot fold the wings completely, so it may be impossible to repair them."
Lorraine looked at the "medical examination report" sent by Ouyang Nian. After reading it carefully, he found that there were no problems with the power system of these drones.
After a moment's thought, Lorraine gave a reply.
"If it can't be repaired, then don't repair it. Recycle all the parts that can't be repaired. I'll send you a set of design drawings in a few days. See if you can modify that plane to look like the design drawings."
As Lorraine spoke, she found the design blueprints of the strangely shaped aircraft on the data panel and then sent them to Ouyang Nian.
Ouyang Nian carefully examined the design drawings sent by Lorraine, and then fell silent. After a long while, her voice reappeared in the communication.
"I can give it a try, but the modified aircraft will most likely not be exactly the same as the design drawings."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a test machine anyway."
Ouyang Nian was somewhat puzzled by Lorraine's answer.
"Couldn't we leverage Cleveland's computing power to conduct virtual testing?"
Upon hearing Ouyang Nian's question, Luo Lin was speechless for a moment, and then explained to her.
"It must have undergone virtual testing, but its actual maneuverability still needs to be tested in reality, since virtual testing cannot calculate the various changes in reality."
"Moreover, the configuration of this aircraft is quite peculiar."
"I understand. Is there anything else?"
"There's one more thing. After you finish your current work, I'd like you to try converting the entire Type 21 wheeled armored vehicle family into unmanned combat vehicles."
After receiving Lorraine's question, Ouyang Nian thought for a moment and accepted the project.
"However, I need Cleveland's assistance to complete the design, since I can't work on two projects at the same time."

"no problem."
The discussion about serious matters came to an end, and just as Lorraine was about to chat with Ouyang Nian about something else, Cleveland, who was monitoring the battlefield, sent back a message.
"There are some unusual situations on the battlefield, we'll talk about them later."
Lorraine then hung up the call and looked at the information displayed on the screen.
After reading the message, Lorraine frowned.
