Chapter 1002: Powerful Foundation
The page quickly scrolled through the pages, stopping precisely at the target Gu Chengyuan had locked onto this time—
[Yun-20 Aviation Brigade - Codename: Kunpeng]!
The icon expanded, and a torrent of detailed data flooded into my mind:
Y-20B strategic transport aircraft: 47 meters in length, 45 meters in wingspan, 15 meters in height, maximum take-off weight 220 tons, maximum load 66 tons, maximum range 10000 kilometers, cruising speed 920 km/h, take-off and landing distance 600-800 meters, able to adapt to plateau gravel runways!
It is integrated with advanced active phased array radar, Beidou satellite navigation system, high-speed battlefield data link and powerful electronic countermeasure system, ensuring that it remains a reliable information node and transportation platform in complex electromagnetic environments and harsh weather.
The reason why it is called a strategic transport aircraft is because its existence itself is the extension of the national will above the sky!
The 66-ton load limit is enough to cover almost all the core heavy equipment of the Zhongzhou Theater Army; the range of over miles gives it the terrifying ability of intercontinental strategic delivery!
This means that as long as Gu Chengyuan is willing, the huge shadow of this "Kunpeng" formation can even cover distant Europe!
A standard Y-20B aviation brigade has four flight squadrons under its jurisdiction.
Each brigade has 12 Y-20Bs!
what does this mean?
This means that a fully staffed Y-20B battalion can instantly deliver a 5000-man, well-equipped light infantry brigade to any strategic node thousands of kilometers away in a single delivery mission!
This global strategic delivery capability demonstrated in the apocalyptic wasteland is enough to constitute a desperate, dimensionality-reduction-style strategic deterrent, whether it is dealing with the still-evolving terrifying zombie hordes and mutated behemoths, or facing other separatist human forces!
Gu Chengyuan stared at the icon symbolizing "Kunpeng" on the system panel. In his deep eyes, worry was gradually replaced by a cold light of control power.
"Evolve, evolve, even if you evolve further, can you still be as powerful as my Iron Torrent?"
"System, exchange!!"
'Ding~'
'The redemption is successful, please select the delivery location and delivery method!'
'The drop location is Longbao International Airport, and the drop method is covert!'
'receive! ’
'Ding~ Delivery successful! Estimated arrival in 2 hours!'
...
........
Longnan City, Gansu Province.
The intersection of Chengguan Town, Diancun Town and Niyang Town.
Time: 1:27 am.
The inky night enveloped the earth, with only sparse stars and a cold moon providing faint light.
Everything was silent. The dark night of the apocalypse usually meant deathly silence and unknown dangers, but at this moment, the silence of this area was broken by another force.
Da da da da da—! ! !
The deafening roar of the rotors came from far away, like a giant steel beast roaring in the dark night.
Several Z-20 tactical general-purpose helicopters painted with the unique digital camouflage of the Zhongzhou Theater Command, flashing scarlet night navigation lights, slowly landed in the designated area of the "Eagle's Nest No. " forward base like nocturnal birds of prey.
boom--
The hatch slid open, and a cold night breeze, mixed with the smell of aviation fuel, dust and dew, suddenly rushed into the cabin.
Lieutenant General Zhang Shouzheng, Director of the Joint Political Work Department of the Western Theater Command, was the first to step out of the cabin.
Fatigue, like a quilt soaked in water, weighed heavily on him.
The long night flights, coupled with the mental burden that had almost never been truly relieved since the end of the world, made the general, who was nearly sixty years old, feel unprecedented fatigue.
So much so that when his feet landed on the cold, hard ground, his body swayed slightly, as if the last bit of strength to support him had been drained away.
The pale searchlight shone on his face, clearly illuminating the bulging bags under his eyes and heavy dark circles. His graying temples looked particularly glaring under the strong light.
He subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows hard, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, trying to dispel the heavy sleepiness that was almost swallowing up his consciousness.
The night wind blew by, ruffling the hem of his straight but dusty military uniform, adding a sense of loneliness and vicissitudes.
However, after his deep eyes adjusted to the bright light, the scene before him made his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
The wide runway stretched out under the beams of searchlights. Not far away, one could clearly see several even larger Z-8L transport helicopters, as well as the Z-10 attack helicopters lurking in the shadows like bats!
With Zhang Shouzheng's knowledge, he couldn't recognize the model of any of them at first, but he was deeply aware of the lethal deterrent power emitted by the missiles mounted under the short wings of the WZ-10 attack helicopter, reflecting the cold light under the searchlight.
The design is sci-fi and it is visibly powerful!
Looking up, Zhang Shouzheng almost instinctively found several key nodes of the airport. As expected, they were all guarded by fully armed sentries like steel sculptures.
While Zhang Shouzheng was silently evaluating, a team of patrolling soldiers walked by in uniform steps, and the sound of their footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet night.
They are equipped with 'Dragon Spine-I' individual exoskeletons, outlining a powerful silhouette under the light. They wear Dragoon III tactical helmets with four-eye night vision goggles, Dragon Scale Armor III heavy bulletproof vests, and carry tactical backpacks. They are almost armed to the teeth!
What caught Zhang Shouzheng's attention the most was that, in addition to the tactical backpack, each soldier also had different heavy weapons hanging on his back, including 82-caliber mortars, what appeared to be 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns, and some even carried four individual rocket launchers at a time!
"Humanoid Katyusha launcher???"
Looking at this sci-fi patrol team that exuded a cold and oppressive aura, Zhang Shouzheng, director of the Joint Political Work Department of the Western Theater Command, couldn't help but feel his heart beating violently...
Although he is a political cadre, this does not affect his military professionalism, otherwise the theater would not have chosen him to serve as the head of this high-level delegation.
Judging from his professional vision, any piece of equipment on this team of soldiers would be an extremely advanced treasure if placed in the Western theater!
Needless to say, the exoskeletons worn by these soldiers are too advanced to be evaluated, but the four-eye night vision goggles that each person has are already a configuration that is difficult to achieve in Western theaters of war.
You should know that even on a global scale, only the United States officially deployed four-eye night vision goggles before the outbreak of the apocalypse.
And it is only equipped to a small number of Air Force units, such as pilots of AC-130 gunships and A-10 attack aircraft. The main purpose is to improve the flight safety of low-altitude close support missions at night.
And what does he see now?
The Central Plains Theater actually equipped the infantry with the four-eye night vision goggles that the United States only equips pilots with?
How can the phrase "rich and powerful" describe this? It is simply at the forefront of the world!
Judging from the small details, they say that the nouveau riche are reflected in the 'big things', while the true nobility are reflected in the 'details'...
The details of the Zhongzhou War Zone were undoubtedly world-class, so much so that even Zhang Shouzheng, a deputy war zone-level military leader, could not help but sigh in his heart:
"Is the Zhou Dynasty's foundation really that strong? Why didn't I know this before?!!"
