Thanks to Radar Buddy for the Energy!

Although radar often fails to detect aircraft designed for stealth, rendering them invisible.

This situation, however, only applies to routine radar scans, which are akin to a quick glance.

Neither the scanning angle, scanning frequency, nor scanning power were maximized, nor was there any targeted detection.

The target also entered the village quietly, without firing a shot, doing its best to conceal its signal.

However.

If the radar were to disregard the strain and the impact on surrounding signals.

By switching angles and frequencies multiple times, while simultaneously increasing the radar's scanning power.

Given the brute force capabilities of ground-based radar, even a B2 stealth bomber, no matter how quietly it entered the village, without firing a shot or making a sound, and doing its utmost to hide its signal and form, would not escape detection by ground-based radar.

Yet, at this moment.

The positioning signal of Chen Yi's drone was clearly laid out before them.

Altitude, speed, direction, flight angle, and other parameters were all present.

Ground-based radar in various locations remained as blind as ever.

No matter how they switched angles or frequencies, they could not detect Chen Yi's drone.

Consider the parable of the blind men and the elephant.

Even then, they could discern whether it was a pillar, a fan, or a wall.

But now, they were informed of a drone's presence at this location.

These advanced radars, which claimed to detect even a sparrow at an altitude of ten thousand meters, had all become blind, seeing nothing at all.

"Submit the application."

"Request to increase power for detection!"

After carefully tracking and detecting for over half an hour, Chen Yi's drone was still nowhere to be found.

The head of the management center, after a moment's thought, decided to apply for an increase in radar power.

Increasing radar power is not a minor matter.

Except in emergency situations where special intelligence or suspicious signals are detected, or during wartime preparations, power can be increased first, with a report filed later.

Under normal circumstances, increasing radar power requires going through a certain application process.

Shortly after the application was submitted.

The request was approved.

The person in charge looked at the approved application form and picked up the phone.

He dialed the local Air Traffic Control Bureau and the operator's numbers.

He informed them that a special exercise would be conducted in three minutes and to prepare for signal interference contingency plans.

"Initiate Level 1 contingency plan, increase radar power to maximum, and lock onto the target's trace!"

"Yes."

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

As the command was issued, local ground-based radars all activated at full power.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar instantly increased a hundredfold, or even several hundredfold.

According to the positioning information, they violently and systematically targeted the location of Chen Yi's drone.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Guangxi Province, Yunnan Province, Sichuan Province, and even the areas surrounding them.

Apart from wired signals, all other wireless mobile signals and radio stations.

Were all interfered with at this moment, and the signals became extremely poor.

Unstable calls, abnormal calls, and even dropped calls began to occur.

And aside from BeiDou positioning.

Other GPS and similar positioning systems completely lost their signals at this moment.

"Report, radar in Zone 1 found no target signal in the designated positioning signal area!"

"Report, radar in Zone 2 found no target signal in the designated positioning signal area!"

"Report, radar in Zone 3 found no target signal in the designated positioning signal area!"

Several minutes passed.

After multiple frequency and angle switches, increased power, and several rounds of comprehensive detection.

The radar operators responsible for controlling the radar reported their findings, none of which detected Chen Yi's drone.

At this point, the head of the command center was stunned.

"Could it be that there was no drone, and the positioning chip is faulty?"

The person in charge had a preposterous thought.

But looking at the screen display, it was moving at supersonic speeds.

Sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, and occasionally performing a barrel roll.

It was clearly a signal trajectory of someone having a blast.

No matter how he looked at it, this didn't seem like the behavior expected from a faulty positioning chip.

After some thought.

The person in charge picked up the secure phone on his desk and dialed a number.

"Unit 0A01, applied for a drone test flight today."

"Where did it fly?"

The person on the other end paused, their voice suddenly rising, "To the moon, or Mars?"

"..."

The person in charge was speechless at the reaction and shook his head, "No, it just flew around the house.

It applied for airspace below 70,000 meters, west of Penghai.

Said it wanted to chase the sun and check in at Mount Everest."

"Oh, good thing it didn't go to Mars."

On the other end of the line, they breathed a deep sigh of relief, "Flying around the house is fine.

As long as it doesn't interfere with civilian airliners, flying at home is much better than flying to outer space.

It seems that visiting Rongfei and receiving guidance from a group of academicians and experts has had some effect."

The person in charge rubbed his forehead, "But there's a problem with this test flight: the radar can't detect the drone's trace."

"Isn't that normal?

Black Eagle has been studying for over twenty days, it's normal for him to learn stealth design.

Given the drone's small and exquisite size, combined with stealth design, it's normal for conventional radar not to detect it."

Learning stealth design for an aircraft in twenty days is normal.

What kind of normal is that?

The person in charge was completely speechless, "It's not conventional mode.

I just applied for full radar power detection, aimed at the drone's positioning signal coordinates for tracking, and still couldn't find it."

"Hiss!"

The person on the other end was suddenly shocked, "Ground-based radar?"

"Ground-based radar."

"Doppler pulse, phased array radar, all types of radar were activated?"

"All activated."

"...This freak!"

The person on the other end suddenly swore, then after a moment of silence, asked, "Where is 0A01 now?"

"Let me see."

The person in charge looked at the screen next to him, "The current signal location is in the canyon clusters of the Hengduan Mountains.

The signal hasn't moved much.

But the altitude is constantly diving and ascending.

This... it should be surfing.

Aerial drone surfing."

"Wuwuwu! Wula!"

In Penghai City, on the third-floor open balcony.

Chen Yi, wearing a virtual helmet, let out excited shouts.

Inside the virtual helmet, the drone's first-person perspective appeared.

It was using infrared scanning, continuously diving and ascending in the unmanned canyon clusters of the Hengduan Mountains.

With each ascent, the drone would cross a canyon.

Then, reaching an altitude of several thousand meters, it would turn its head.

Aiming at the next canyon, it would dive almost vertically.

With every dive.

The virtual program simulated a feeling of complete weightlessness, with the mountains on either side rapidly expanding, the rivers below the canyons, and the whistling wind captured by the microphone.

Through brainwave virtualization, it appeared clearly in Chen Yi's mind from a first-person perspective.

Reaching the valley floor, he turned and ascended. The creaking of the fuselage under the G-force made it feel like it could be torn apart at any moment, further igniting his adrenaline.

"Compared to roller coasters, drop towers, pendulum rides, and FPV drones, this direct canyon surfing is way more exhilarating."

"It seems virtual technology combined with drone flight is the true path forward."

"Anything else, like manual flying, foot pedals, or even AR glasses, is a dead end!"

After flying for over half an hour.

Chen Yi, completely satisfied, removed his virtual helmet.

He ascended the drone, leaving the canyon cluster of the Hengduan Mountains.

Leaving the canyons, he reached an altitude of 20,000 meters.

Chen Yi pulled up the drone's flight data, checking the test flight status from Guangxi Province all the way here.

Especially the drone's performance data during the extreme conditions of the recent canyon sprint.

But as soon as the flight data was pulled up.

Chen Yi saw an abnormal issue immediately.

That is, it couldn't directly absorb sunlight.

The bottom solar cell film, which could only charge through ambient light diffusion, showed abnormal charging.

"Strange?

How come for a period of time.

The charging efficiency of the drone's bottom solar cell film suddenly increased by over 50%."

Just as Chen Yi was wondering.

His phone pinged beside him.

A news alert popped up about mobile signal anomalies in Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan provinces due to electronic warfare drills.

Seeing this news, Chen Yi suddenly understood.

"So that's it. Thanks to my radar buddy for the energy!"

PS: I chatted with the editor today and asked if there was any hope for Sanjiang, and the answer was one word: uncertain!

Wuwuwu...
