The one who had suddenly appeared on the Syrian battlefield was Lin Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, unlike his real self, the Lin Yi currently in the plane was merely a holographic projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, miraculously, he could easily control every action of the J-20 beneath him with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It felt as though he truly existed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It gave the complete sensation of a virtual reality game.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>All five senses, including touch and smell, could be perceived through this projected form.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason he could appear on the Syrian battlefield was naturally due to the system's \"Combat Simulation\" function.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the host, he could purchase fighter jets and tanks from the system to operate remotely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, Lin Yi had utilized this function, arriving in Syria via hyperspace transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, his intervention did not come for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Syria had paid him an appearance fee of ten million US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The J-20 beneath his feet was a 2020 model; purchasing it within the system cost six million US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was even more expensive than the F-22 available in the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was mainly because the J-20 possessed superior capabilities in various aspects, with many equipment features the F-22 lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason international data showed the F-22's manufacturing cost to be higher than Long Country's J-20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>was due to the high labor costs in the Ugly Country and the markups by arms dealers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Long Country saved significantly in these areas, but in terms of actual material costs, the J-20 was in fact higher than the F-22.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adding the five thousand US dollars for hyperspace teleportation,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>along with the carried missiles, Lin Yi's expenditure for this mission was considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, what excited him most was\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>that as long as the host wished, he could fly indefinitely over Syrian skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, this would naturally not be free.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The system would automatically deduct funds from Lin Yi's overseas account to cover replenishment costs for ammunition and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, the system explained\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>that any weapon destroyed under the Combat Simulation function would leave no wreckage behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The system would instantly retrieve the debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Knowing all this, how could Lin Yi possibly worry about entering the Syrian battlefield?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In truth, he had been eager to try it out for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, during this period, he didn't know how many times he had piloted various aircraft models like the J-20, F-22, F-35, and Su-57 in virtual reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In these realistic combat simulations,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>he had died no fewer than several hundred times,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>but the benefit was that after dying so often, he had grown accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Additionally, through these numerous deaths, he had gained an intimate knowledge of all types of fighter jets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was especially true for fifth-generation fighters like the J-20, F-22, F-35, and Su-57.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to the system's time ratio between virtual reality and the outside world of 12:1,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>his actual flight time had far exceeded 5,000 hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The vast majority of ace pilots fell far short of this amount of flight time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention that every time, Lin Yi fought against a system AI with reaction speeds far surpassing those of humans,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>dying more than ten times each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was something no pilot, no matter how skilled, could ever experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unless there was a massive disparity between the aircraft models, Lin Yi rarely managed to defeat the system AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was because the system AI could always execute the most reasonable maneuvers at the optimal moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was something humans simply could not achieve when facing danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Returning to reality,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Yi, piloting this J-20, suddenly appeared on the Syrian battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Its equipped active phased array radar immediately detected numerous fighter jets in the Syrian airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, within a range of 200 kilometers, let alone older F\u002FA-18E\u002FF fighters,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>even the F-22 stealth fighter, equipped with the AN\u002FAPG-77 active phased array radar—a product from the 1990s with a total power output reaching 20 kilowatts—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>had an actual aerial target detection range of only 200 kilometers,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>whereas the J-20, with its larger nose cone, carried a larger radar with a power output reaching 44 kilowatts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and review tickets;
