Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 816 - 276: Perfect Drill! (Part 2)

Yes, the tense and busy work happening in other places is not helping the sky-based denial system intercept those aircraft racing through the sky. On the contrary, they are activating various interference measures to verify the capabilities of the sky-based denial system.

This is the only way to ensure that if a real battle occurs, the sky-based denial can truly be put to use.

Even if there is an error with the sky-based denial system during the exercise, it is better than having a mistake occur when it’s actually needed.

While saving face is important, substance is even more vital.

Of course, those measures are being closely monitored by people observing the movements of these aircraft, seeing everything clearly.

Among them are the staff at the Asian Situation Awareness Center, who are constantly monitoring and recording the data of the sky-based denial system.

"LEO satellite group has initiated the first wave of interception, targeting the second and third batches entering the denial zone and launching ultraviolet band with a wavelength of 0.25μm..."

"The MEO satellite multi-batch target allocation system has successfully launched..."

"The GEO satellite X-band phased array has launched, successfully suppressing multiple batches of interference clouds..."

"The second and third batch targets have been shot down..."

"Great, perfect!" After a burst of cheers, people didn’t forget their work.

"Quick, inform the sea recovery ship, observe the impact point, and start collecting and salvaging the target debris!"

The most important task next is to evaluate the laser system of the sky-based denial by observing and testing the target debris! This data is extremely important.

Not only do they need to know, but it also needs to be uploaded to the satellite’s database for AI to self-optimize.

This is much like a chef cooking, where experience is very important, the best outcome being just right.

Using too much power wastes energy, and although space equipment has various charging systems, if power consumption is too high within a unit time, replenishing electricity is not as convenient as on the ground.

Moreover, if power consumption is too high and something goes wrong, repairs are also a troublesome matter.

If the power is not enough, the opportunity window wouldn’t allow the aircraft’s fuel tank to be burned through, or the ammunition layer to be burned through. The grand fireworks wouldn’t reach the designated place, and if it falls to the ground and damages flowers and plants, that is also a fault.

Therefore, this data is crucial. For future precision high-frequency strikes, while also being energy-efficient, relies on this debris data analysis report.

Thus, as time goes by, in the next half-hour, one aircraft after another is detected in the Asian airspace, followed by alarm signals and then being shot down.

Six aircraft, none of which came within five hundred kilometers of the coordinates pre-announced by Huaxia.

The most explosive was the last one, initially fired but due to being the furthest, arrived last.

It was directly put into the terminal ten Mach spiral maneuver stage but still burst in the air with five sudden light nets.

This also created a significant search difficulty for the salvage ships that were long prepared.

No way, for the systems in the sky, once this thing enters the terminal state, those on the ground suddenly cancel interference. The order to eliminate must be followed, so it is understandable if the operation was a bit aggressive.

If artificial intelligence really gained consciousness, what it would want most might be to shoot those ground-bound humans causing unnecessary trouble for three to five minutes.

At this time, no one cared about how the ship’s crew responsible for the salvage at sea cursed. The entire Asian Situation Awareness Center had become a sea of joy.

Everyone stood up automatically, cheering and clapping! Some weren’t shy and hugged the opposite-sex colleagues next to them...

But no one cared about these at that moment.

The successful downing of the last aircraft not only meant today’s exercise concluded perfectly but also marked the perfect completion of the first phase of the sky-based denial project!

One should know that today’s exercise was entirely arranged as a simulation of actual combat, even more complicated than real combat.

They did not overly participate in operating and computing with the sky-based denial central control computer, nor did they specify the exact exercise time for it.

The only participation was to make it more challenging.

Initially, by using authority, they limited the stable performance of the central control computer, manually lowering the threat level of the last aircraft in the initial stage and raising it in the final stage, catching the central control computer off guard.

Moreover, these aircraft didn’t come from the same place, practically from all directions and relatively concentrated in time. They could all be successfully shot down after entering the denial zone.

It’s imaginable how much security will increase in the future once the denial range expands.

After all, expanding the denial range means extending the response time.

Once it covers a global range, it will truly be like what Qiao Yu said: as long as something with a tail flame is launched into the sky without pre-notification, the sky-based denial system will be activated immediately, causing it to fall shortly after taking off.

Unless the opposing side develops a technology that allows the launch of aircraft without the need for fuel and without generating heat and trajectory when in the air, it will not escape the detection of the sky-based denial system.

But achieving that technology is essentially outside the current scientific system, likely only achievable by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

At the same time, in a small office upstairs in the hall, Yu Yanjiang was already in tears.

Landing on the moon within ten years no longer seemed so significant to this elder. Leaving his name on this sky-based denial system was enough!

"No, Chief Engineer Yu, don’t let your sweat fall from your eyes! Didn’t I show you the simulation earlier? You should have been mentally prepared already, right?"

Seeing Yu Yanjiang so emotional, Qiao Yu, not knowing how to respond, joked casually.

Qiao Yu always thought Old Yu’s personality was somewhat like his grandfather, but Qiao Yu never saw his grandfather in a moment of weakness.

Comrade Old Qiao always had a robust and stalwart demeanor in front of him. Although Old Yu was a bit shrewder than his grandfather, him suddenly tearing up felt quite unaccustomed to Qiao Yu.

"Qiao Yu... I’m just so happy! That we could accomplish this, you are the main contributor... truly! Thank you..."

Yu Yanjiang grabbed Qiao Yu’s hand, rambling on emotionally, making Qiao Yu feel even more uneasy.

To be honest, he still preferred the mature and stable Old Yu, who always had some advice to give when he saw him.

This Old Yu, eyes red and clinging to his hand, only made him feel awkward.

Fortunately, the timely ringing phone brought Old Yu back in check. He let go of Qiao Yu’s hand, used his sleeve to wipe the tears from his face, and walked to the desk to answer the red phone.

"Report to the chief, mission accomplished; the Sky Shield-2031 joint defense exercise has completed all-element verification! All seven categories, totaling thirty-two assessment indicators met a completion rate of one hundred percent!

Among them, the multi-spectral quantum sensing network achieved full-domain coverage successfully, with positioning accuracy reaching 0.03 arcseconds, exceeding the original standard by seven percent. The overall interception system response latency was less than 2.8ms, better than the pre-set indicator by seventeen percent!

Additionally, this exercise validated breakthrough capabilities like sustained illumination of ultra-fast maneuvering targets above Mach ten from geostationary orbit satellites, and the autonomous damage resistance and restructuring capability of the sky-based denial constellation’s quantum communication mechanism in intense electromagnetic interference environments!"

Even though Qiao Yu was at least two meters away from Yu Yanjiang, the powerful voice still made Qiao Yu’s ears tingle. The young man couldn’t help but think how uncomfortable the ear of the big boss on the other end of the phone must be at this moment!

The old man, who was wiping his tears just moments ago, seemed different when he picked up the phone—softness vanished, leaving only a strong, defiant presence!

This once again proved that as long as you have done your job well, you speak to anyone with confidence, regardless of how loud your voice is.

"Alright! Thank you, Chief! The task will be guaranteed to be completed!" After hanging up the phone, Yu Yanjiang turned to look at Qiao Yu, who maintained a relaxed demeanor, with a broad smile.

"Qiao Yu, how’s the preparation of the multi-layer space defense effectiveness White Paper going? When are you planning to go to the United Nations for a detailed briefing?"

"Huh? No... the exercise was successful, shouldn’t we grant everyone a break first?!"
