its economy was backward, and although it had the desire, it lacked the strength to develop a fifth-generation fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the year 2000,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with Mao Xiong's economy improving and the Dragon Nation's economy taking off,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both sides commenced the development of fifth-generation fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against this backdrop, Mao Xiong's Su-57 and the Dragon Nation's J-20 came into being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until then that the F-22 finally encountered a true rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to Mao Xiong's economic weakness, although the Su-57 was also a stealth fifth-generation fighter, it suffered from various defects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of overall performance, it was inferior to the Ugly Nation's F-22.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only aircraft capable of contending with the F-22 was the Dragon Nation's J-20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely because both sides possessed their strongest equipment, there had never been any possibility of actual combat between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in combat simulations, this wish was realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was a 100% simulation based on real fighter jets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was something no ordinary game simulator could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the situation was that Lin Yi, piloting the F-22, carried two AIM-9M short-range infrared-guided air-to-air missiles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the J-20 carried two PL-10 short-range dogfighting air-to-air missiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the J-20 featured an original lift-body canard-delta wing configuration, this granted it superior stealth capabilities and supersonic maneuverability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yi's opponent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a pilot controlled by the system AI, possessed terrifying flying skills that were undoubtedly ace among aces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, Lin Yi detected that he had been locked onto by the J-20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he immediately turned the aircraft's nose to flee from the opponent's field of view,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forcing the J-20 side to search anew for a suitable attack angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: For the new book, we beg for flowers, tips, and review tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A brief note here: because the F-22 is equipped with thrust-vectoring engines, it boasts superior maneuverability, supersonic cruise capability, and beyond-visual-range combat performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi glanced at his helmet display, which showed an altitude of 18,319 meters and a speed of 488 km\u002Fh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter how he dodged, he found it nearly impossible to break the J-20's lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a PL-10 short-range air-to-air missile streaked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In modern warfare, whether military fighter jets or military transport aircraft, they all face numerous threats in actual combat—ranging from man-portable air-defense missiles to radar-guided surface-to-air missiles, and even short-range air-to-air missiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, once an enemy-fired missile has locked on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even an excellent aircraft like the F-22 would find it extremely difficult to evade through maneuvering alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the F-22 carries very few decoy flares, far fewer than the F\u002FA-18 Super Hornet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with increasingly advanced air-to-air missiles nowadays, even decoy flares struggle to be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi was shot down without any chance to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the reason he was destroyed so easily\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lay in two factors: stealth and radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of exterior design, the stealth capabilities of both aircraft were not vastly different; the real gap lay in the intake design. As one of the largest radar reflection sources on the fuselage, the intake is key to the aircraft's overall stealth performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this aspect, the J-20 held a clear advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The J-20 adopted a DSI (Diverterless Supersonic Inlet) design, resulting in a radar cross-section far smaller than the F-22's traditional caret intake, while also reducing weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their RCS values were similar, the F-22's larger vertical stabilizers, combined with its radar-absorbent coating frequently cracking, meant it had lost its stealth advantage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at best managing a stalemate with the J-20. Under the premise that both sides were well-hidden, whoever could detect the other first became crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after precise calculations of both aircrafts' radar performance, it was revealed that their detection ranges differed by a full seven kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting with the F-22, it was equipped with the AN\u002FAPG-77 active phased-array radar, a product of the 1990s, with a total power output reaching 20 kW.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its detection range for a 1-square-meter aerial target was 200 kilometers, and for a 5-square-meter target, 296 kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the radar equation, the F-22's forward detection range against the J-20 was 75 kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the J-20, its radar system was a full generation ahead of the AN\u002FAPG-77, offering advantages in stability, anti-jamming capabilities, and transmission power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the J-20 had a larger nose cone, accommodating a larger radar with a power output reaching 44 kW, far exceeding the performance of most similar products worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, its detection range should be 30% greater than that of the F-22, capable of detecting aerial targets up to 400 kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculations showed the J-20's forward detection range against the F-22 was 82 kilometers; coupled with its three-faced radar coverage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whereas the F-22 only had forward-facing radar, the J-20 naturally held the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when the two met, the J-20, piloted by the system's AI, detected Lin Yi's F-22 beforehand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with this time difference in the air amounting to roughly ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brief time gap became a fatal factor in fighter combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been locked onto before he even realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Lin Yi heard a voice calling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, his consciousness returned to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, your tea...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueying entered, carrying a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although nearly an hour had passed within the \"combat simulation,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in reality, less than five minutes had elapsed; the time ratio between virtual and reality was 12:1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this function was limited exclusively to the system's host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have wanted to start a virtual reality gaming company immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would surely make money at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, just put it on the desk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi rubbed his temples and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of dying twice just now was still vivid in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, with this level of 100% sensory immersion, dying too many times in a single day\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would likely cause psychological trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, his little secretary, Li Li Xueying, naturally knew nothing of this;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she simply assumed her boss was feeling mentally exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, shall I give you a massage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueying asked cautiously, testing the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Yi paused for a moment but did not object:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the little secretary clicked her high heels over to stand behind Lin Yi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>using her slender hands to massage his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she was afraid of hurting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her touch was very gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, Lin Yi was quite enjoying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, coincidentally, an employee coming to report work arrived outside the CEO's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the door wasn't closed, he witnessed the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, he quietly closed the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two, deeply concentrated, naturally noticed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from that day on, some rumors began circulating within the company.\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-16T04:12:22.327Z","2026-06-16T04:35:02.051Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","cedf3f24b9b22243ded6ac4fd129012ed3501c5235f43acf1e4a5f75f6f2990e","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-123","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-121",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
