140: Chapter 140 This is merely the first generation of stealth technology?!

Twenty thousand meters in the air.

"Minister Zhu, it seems we've been locked onto by their radar," Colonel Su said.

The H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's radar system was sounding an alarm.

"Haha... They've finally discovered the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber!" Minister Zhu laughed heartily.

Most people would be panicked if their aircraft were locked onto by radar, but he was actually happy.

The main thing was, they had rashly entered the airspace of another military region. If they were mistaken for enemy aircraft by the Southern Military Region's forces, it would be all over.

Now that they were locked onto by their radar, as long as they didn't act rashly, they were currently still safe.

Zhu Deze raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"Colonel Su, it's been a full thirty minutes since the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber entered the Southern Military Region's airspace to the moment we were locked onto by their radar."

"This..." His face showed some surprise.

Thirty minutes!

Such a large bomber capable of carrying strategic nuclear missiles had actually circled right above their heads for nearly thirty minutes before being discovered.

Who would believe it if this were told to others?

Colonel Su was also taken aback.

"Holy crap! Thirty minutes? It took them that long to discover us?"

Colonel Su's heart trembled; he had gained a deeper understanding of the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's stealth capabilities.

If the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber were to appear on the battlefield, such stealth effectiveness would undoubtedly be a game-changer.

I'm afraid that across the entire Blue Planet, there isn't a single stealth bomber that could compare.

Even the USA's B-series strategic bombers could not reach such a level.

Colonel Su felt vaguely excited.

The Dragon Kingdom finally had its own strategic bomber!! And it was even more superior in performance!

After calming down, Colonel Su thought of their current situation and hurriedly reminded him:

"Minister Zhu, we need to contact Engineer Xu immediately and have him notify the Southern Military Region not to view us as an enemy aircraft."

"Otherwise, if we get shot down by their missiles, we're done for."

Because it was the first flight test, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber was not carrying any warheads; it had taken off completely empty.

"Understood, I'll contact Engineer Xu right now." Zhu Deze nodded and hurriedly contacted Xu Hao.

A short while later, Xu Hao's voice rang out in the headset.

"Brother De, what's wrong? Did you encounter any issues?" Xu Hao asked with concern, his heart jumping into his throat.

He had previously instructed the two of them to conduct the test freely and not to follow orders from the control tower.

Now that Zhu Deze had suddenly made contact, the first thing that came to Xu Hao's mind was that the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber had run into trouble.

Zhu Deze replied, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber hasn't had any issues."

Xu Hao instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could speak, Zhu Deze continued.

"However, we accidentally flew the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber into the Southern Military Region's airspace, and now the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber has been locked onto by their radar. The situation is not good!"

"Brother Xu, you need to contact the Commander of the Southern Military Region immediately and have them stand down from their alert."

Zhu Deze's voice was slightly hurried; it was clear that he was still somewhat nervous.

Of course! There were thousands of missiles aimed at the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber below, and over a dozen fighter jets were approaching. Anyone would panic!!

However, what Xu Hao heard was interpreted in a completely different way.

"What? The H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber has been locked onto by the Southern Military Region's radar?" Xu Hao frowned.

That shouldn't be possible!

The entire airframe of the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber not only utilized magnetic radar-absorbing materials and radar-reflecting materials to reduce radar detection, but it also utilized infrared thermal signal stealth technology.

Logically speaking, its stealth performance might not be the best in the world, but it should definitely be in the top two.

And now, during its first flight test, it had already been locked onto by the Southern Military Region's phased-array radar?

Although the Southern Military Region's phased-array radar system was very advanced, if it could be locked onto by radar so easily, was the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's stealth performance really that terrible?!

Xu Hao felt slightly downcast. This result was beyond his expectations.

However, thinking that this was, after all, only the first test, it was inevitable that the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber had some areas that weren't perfect.

Therefore, he only felt down for a moment before regaining his spirit, then said in a tone of self-encouragement and consolation:

"It's fine! It's no big deal that it was discovered by their radar system. Anyway, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's stealth technology is only the first generation, and the Southern Military Region's radar system is indeed formidable."

"Once we update to the second and third generations of stealth technology, perhaps it won't be so easily discovered."

Xu Hao sighed slightly. He hadn't expected that the [MOSS Technology System] would have a day where it missed the mark.

When the system originally rated the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber, its stealth performance had been rated as S-class.

This meant that the bomber's stealth technology was currently the strongest on the Blue Planet.

But now, it seemed like he had been slapped in the face?!

However, when Zhu Deze heard Xu Hao's words, he was a bit bewildered. What was Brother Xu talking about...

The current H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber only had the first generation of stealth technology? There were second and third generations?

"Hiss..." Zhu Deze gasped, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

The first generation of stealth technology was already this badass; if it were updated to the second or even third generation in the future, wouldn't it be...

"Gulp..." Zhu Deze couldn't help but swallow, his eyes widened like copper bells.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Brother Xu, this stealth technology is only the first generation? That's too badass!"

"Do you know? We flew into the Southern Military Region's airspace just now, and it took nearly thirty minutes for their radar to discover our presence."

"And you're telling me that this stealth technology is only the first generation?!"

"Brother Xu, tell me honestly, what's the deal with the second and third generations...?"

Zhu Deze's heart was excited, his hands were trembling, and his face was full of fanaticism. The surprises Xu Hao brought him were truly one after another, continuous and endless.

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Hao was stunned again.

"Wait... hold on!" Xu Hao interrupted Zhu Deze. "You just said that you stayed in their airspace for thirty minutes before being discovered?"

Xu Hao asked, his face changing from his previous dejected look.

"Yeah!" Zhu Deze was completely confused.

Colonel Su, in the pilot's seat, spoke up at this moment, "If we hadn't actively flipped the aircraft, I'm afraid they still wouldn't have discovered us!"

Previously, in order to test the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's flight capabilities to the maximum extent, they had performed 360-degree maneuvers at high altitude multiple times. As a result, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber showed absolutely no strain.

Colonel Su guessed that it might have been at that moment that they were detected by their radar. After all, the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber's engine exhaust nozzles were on top of the wings.

Xu Hao immediately understood. It turned out that what Zhu Deze and the others meant by being locked onto by radar was that after the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber had flown into their backyard and played around for thirty minutes, it was only then discovered.

Damn it... Xu Hao suddenly felt offended, with thousands of 'grass mud horses' stampeding through his heart.

With a face that was both joyful and helpless, he said.

"Brother De, and you still said you were locked onto by radar?"

"You call being actively discovered after thirty minutes a radar lock?!"

Zhu Deze: "That's right, we were indeed locked onto by their radar!!"

He didn't seem to be wrong! Why did Xu Hao's tone sound a bit strange...?
