When the fighter jets began to return, Wu Yan was actually a little worried.

Although the performance of the fighter jet is quite reliable, the selected fighter jet pilots are all highly skilled in martial arts, with far superior physical fitness to ordinary people, and their reaction speed and adaptability must surpass those of real ace pilots.

But after all, there are great risks when landing. These pilots have a weak driving foundation. It is really because the car has not learned to drive, and they have already started to learn to drive the plane.

This is much more difficult than just learning to run.

Fortunately, there was Beichen as a plug-in, otherwise Wu Yan would not dare to take his ace pilots to fight so quickly.

The whistling sound came.

A fighter jet rushed to the deck of the Qinhuang aircraft carrier in a gliding posture. It was fast, but it was very stable when it landed.

The take-off and landing wheels stopped, and the expensive speed reduction rope also intercepted it, successfully allowing the fighter to stop safely on the deck, and then moved to the side to load ammunition.

Another fighter jet with cleared ammunition flew back, repeating the previous scene.

"Please hover when you use the No. 12 machine, it is expected to land in 1 minute."

There were also fighter jets returning but failed to land at the first time. They could only fly directly over the aircraft carrier and began to hover at a certain speed and altitude.

The pilots of these fighter jets do not need to worry about the fuel consumption of the fighter jets. Their location is only more than 70 kilometers away from the center of Great Britain, the capital of the British Empire, and is far from their combat radius.

In fact, in the seas where the Ming fleet and the coalition fleet went to war, they had the ability to fly directly over the city of Da Britannia to bomb.

But Wu Yan still ordered the fleet to reach the entrance of the Thames River, because the combat radius does not represent the effective combat distance.

The biggest problem faced by the carrier-based aircraft of the Ming Fleet at this stage is actually communication restrictions.

Before there is no communication satellite, using relatively traditional communication methods, when facing mobile units such as fighter jets flying at high speed, too far will lead to signal loss.

Because the radar system has not been completed, if the communication signal is lost, the flight altitude, coordinates and other information of the fighter will be difficult to summarize on the Qinhuang aircraft carrier in time, and then there will be cases where fighters collide with each other.

For example, when a fighter plane just returned, a fighter plane had to take off after replenishing its ammunition. Poor communication between the two will lead to very serious consequences.

There are more fighter jets that will be notified by the command system of the Qinhuang aircraft carrier to reduce speed or speed up, delay the return time or speed up the return speed.

Although the existence of Beichen can ensure that there will be no accidents during takeoff and landing, the problem is that the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in this world, there is only one Beichen.

The navy of the Ming Empire in the future will definitely be more than just an aircraft carrier formation. Wu Yan thinks that he should build at least five conventional-level aircraft carrier formations, and then five nuclear-powered aircraft carrier formations.

Beichen will be unable to do anything at that time.

"Your Majesty, 64 fighter jets have returned safely, and all have completed replenishment of ammunition, and have taken off safely to carry out the second round of air strikes."

Although the Ming Empire had more than 64 fighter jets, this time the Qinhuang aircraft carrier only brought 64, and the remaining fighter jets were left in the Ming Dynasty to train pilots.

"Very good, three rounds of air strikes are carried out as planned."

Wu Yan didn't think that three rounds of air strikes were enough, but because after the three rounds of air strikes, these fighter jets were going to refuel.

Compared with the F16, which looks very similar to these Ming carrier-based aircraft, the combat radius is still much worse. The combat radius of the F16 can reach 1,800 kilometers, while Wu Yan's fighter jet has a combat radius of only 600 kilometers.

It’s not that the technology is not up to standard, but because the amount of ammunition is carried too much.

In the future, due to bombers, the combat targets of fighter jets will all be precise strikes. However, although Wu Yan can build bombers at this stage, it is not suitable for his aircraft carrier formations, and he cannot operate at a distance of thousands of kilometers.

So his fighter jets are actually bombing.

The increase in the amount of ammunition will seriously affect the combat radius of the fighter and will also have a certain impact on the speed.

Fortunately, in this era, only the Ming Empire in the world had fighter jets, and the disadvantages of speed and combat radius actually did not exist.

Three rounds of air strikes did not take too long. Although the first generation of fighter jets in the Ming Empire could not fly at supersonic speeds, the combat targets were too close to them.

The 64 carrier-based aircraft, after sacrificing their speed and combat radius, brought amazing results.

A total of more than 1,800 shells were thrown into the capital of the British Empire. At this time, the city of Great Britain did not have the wide area of ​​later generations. These shells were all made of TNT explosives, so the killing effect caused can be imagined.

The entire Great Britain, after these three rounds of air strikes, has become a ruin.

Not only the damage caused by the explosion of the shell itself, but also the surging sea of ​​fire spreading almost covered the entire urban area.

Screams of pain, roars of despair, and thrilling pain.

More than silence brought by fear and panic. Those who have lost their homes and family stand in front of collapsed houses like walking dead bodies, standing in front of the raging fire, and standing in front of familiar and unfamiliar corpses.

Looking up at the sky.

They can no longer see the iron birds they regard as devils, but they can see the traces left by the iron birds.

The traces of white lines covered the entire sky, like a spider web woven in the sky, completely covering the entire Great Britain.

Obviously, there was nothing in the sky except these traces, and even the sun seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the afterglow brought by the invisible sunset.

But the people of Great Britain seemed to be able to see the spider web covering the entire sky, and countless devils were hanging on it, looking at the city below with a hideous expression, and watching the mortals in the city smiling freely.

And these devils all come from the Ming Empire thousands of miles away.

The white spider web that covered the entire sky came from the emperor of that country.

To this day.

The news that the Ming Empire declared war on nine countries at the same time had long been spread to the city of Great Britain, and even the entire British Empire was already known. They even knew that they had the power of magic. The cause of this incident was that their magician team went to the Ming Empire to cause trouble.

But until today, no one would think that it was their country that did it wrong.

The Ming Empire?

What country is that?

Isn’t it just a country created by a group of barbarians?

Faced with the past failure, the people of the British Empire attributed the reason to the fact that the people of the Ming Empire were not civilized, and they were barbarians who ate raw meat and drank blood. They would fall into a state of madness when fighting on land, and would use the power of 400 million people to beat up tens of thousands of people they sent to the Ming Empire.

This is a general cognition based on public opinion guidance.

When they learned that the fleet of the Ming Empire was traveling across the ocean to die, they even thought about whether they would have the chance to go and take a look after the emperor of the Ming Empire was captured by their invincible navy.

Parades and displays in the streets are also found in the British Empire.

Even today, they heard those "rumors" about their British Empire fleet and a coalition fleet formed by a total of seventeen countries, which were easily destroyed by the Ming Empire fleet...

No one believes it.

Before the official announcement was released, such rumors like rumor will only make everyone who hears it laugh.

We are the Empire of the Sun and the Sun never sets, and this title is also created by the invincible navy.

It was a mere Ming Empire, and there was no navy before. It only formed the Ming Empire with a navy in recent years.

This joke is really funny.

But now, they finally understood.

This joke is not funny at all.

The official did not deliberately conceal the news of the defeat, but because the enemy was coming too fast.

The naval battle that occurred yesterday was wiped out by the coalition fleet.

Today, the Ming fleet arrived at the mouth of the Thames River and launched an attack method that exceeded their perception.

What's wrong with this world?

What exactly have we experienced?

“That’s an airplane.”

I don’t know if it was because of luck or for some other reason, someone in Buckingham Mansion, which was not destroyed by shells, said the names of the iron birds.

Although it is not very accurate, it cannot be said to be wrong.

"I have seen this idea in Da Vinci's manuscript, and we have tried to study it."

People from the Kingdom of Italy said with a very complicated expression: "This is a mechanical device that can fly in the sky, whether in terms of speed, in terms of takeoff and landing, it exceeds the hot air balloons and the airships being studied. But... we were unable to find out."

Leonardo da Vinci is very much a time traveler.

Born in the late 15th century and died in the early 16th century, he was obviously an artist and a painter, but the manuscripts left behind not only contain the prototype drawings of the aircraft, but also the design concept of robots, but also have related descriptions of atomic energy, and can even be directly said to be nuclear weapons.

The military minister of the British Empire also thought of something because of this sentence.

Leonardo da Vinci was a celebrity, and the Kingdom of Italy has been weak in the past, at least in the eyes of the British Empire.

So they also have a copy of the Leonardo da Vinci manuscript, and they also gained some mechanical and technological benefits from it.

"Yes, the planes, those iron birds are planes. They are like cars and trains that use steam power, just they have wings on the planes, no, they have wings on the machine, so those machines become planes."

Thinking of the hot air balloons I prepared, I originally had great hope, but now it is a bit boring.

The military minister was able to roughly judge the speed of the iron birds. When they whizzed through the sky, the distance they flew seemed short in sight, but in fact they were very far away.

Faced with such speed, what is the use of hot air balloons?

Just as he had this idea, Victoria asked in a dry voice: "Where is our hot air balloon? Let the hot air balloons take off and the sharpshooters are in place. Can we shoot their planes down?"

The Military Minister sighed and said, "Their planes are made of iron. Even if our guns hit... how could they be shot down?"

There is no need to mention the issue of speed. Just by looking at the material, the guns they own are not of much use.

"Then let them hit us like this?"

This question silenced everyone present.
