Chapter 406

in the end, they would definitely be beaten into balls of fireworks by the DWS platform's fighter jets next time.

Rather than that, they might as well beg Europe and the Ugly Nation.

Besides Israel, Britain followed closely behind; the transaction volume of this country's official account was still "0" even now.

Every time he saw this number,

Lin Yi felt that this was the British people's mockery of him.

Previously, Lin Yi didn't have military power, so he could only let it go,

but when he possessed over a thousand military soldiers,

he naturally had even less affection for such non-clients who were unwilling to pay protection money.

What made Lin Yi even more uncomfortable was that Britain was jumping around, giving air aid to Israel,

sending aircraft carriers, increasing troops, and wanting to send Lin Yi to the gallows.

They insisted on being a dog for the Ugly Nation!

Plus the harm Britain had done to the Dragon Nation in the past; even now, there were countless looted Dragon Nation cultural relics in the British Museum,

yet this robber country never mentioned returning the relics.

This time, Lin Yi would take a loss to teach Britain a lesson.

Let those dogs following the Ugly Nation know that dogs can be slaughtered and eaten.

At the same time, let some countries pay protection money obediently as soon as possible.

Lin Yi looked at his equipment,

"20 Jian-20s are a bit few; buy another 20 F-22s. Besides beyond-visual-range, these fighter jets are also more agile in dogfights!"

Then, he looked at,

the B-2 bomber, worth 200 million US dollars each, 6 of them.

B-2 bomber, commonly known as: Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth strategic bomber.

It was a low-observable flying-wing bomber developed by Northrop Grumman and Boeing in conjunction with MIT for the Ugly Nation Air Force to perform strategic nuclear and conventional strike missions.

It was also the only stealth strategic bomber in the world today; its main feature was low observability, commonly known as stealth capability.

It could allow it to safely pass through dense air defense systems to conduct attacks.

The B-2's stealth was not limited to radar detection, but also included reducing infrared, visible light, and noise signals, minimizing the possibility of being detected and locked on.

Additionally, without mid-air refueling, its combat range could reach 12,000 kilometers, and with one mid-air refueling, it could reach 18,000 kilometers.

It possessed "global reach" and "global destruction" capabilities.

In 1997, the first batch of six B-2 bombers officially entered service, and a total of only 21 were produced.

Each B-2 cost as much as 2.4 billion US dollars,

and if calculated by weight, the unit price of the B-2 was two to three times more expensive than gold at the time of service.

This type of fighter jet even cost as much as 200 million US dollars in the system.

Considering performance reasons, it was removed from the weapon sales catalog by Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi was actually not satisfied with this fighter jet.

Because although it possessed a 23-ton payload and stealth capability,

its maximum speed was only 0.95 Ma He.

This speed was far inferior even to Britain's 1970s Jaguar attack aircraft.

"System, can the B-2 bomber only achieve this?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Ding... detected host's requirement, the host can perform era-based modification on the selected catalog weapons!"

"Note: This function can only be used for weapons purchased by the host!"

"Era-based modification?" Lin Yi was a bit confused.

"Era-based modification: This function can use the system to perform the most optimal modification on weapons of the original era to fit each era!"

Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yi roughly understood.

As everyone knows, some weapons, after being upgraded to a certain version, might not be upgraded further for various reasons.

These reasons include the appearance of new weapons, high prices, backward design, etc.

For example, the B-2, because the unit price was too expensive, even the Ugly Nation military didn't equip many.

Additionally, because of its superior performance, the Ugly Nation military didn't upgrade it for a long time.

But today, the B-2's performance was actually not considered powerful.

Especially its outer surface wave-absorbing coating was a product of the last century.

Facing today's increasingly advanced new radar systems, whether this bomber could break through the radar defense network,

was really hard to predict.

However, if era-based modification was used.

The system would modify this old model without changing its airframe structure, based on the premise of the current era's most excellent technological materials.

For example, using new magnetic radar-absorbing materials, using the latest carbon fiber materials to change the aircraft's own weight to increase speed.

At the same time, modifying the aircraft's flight control system to give the aircraft a new operating platform.

"System, calculate the modification cost!"

"Ding... calculating..."

"Calculation complete... the single modification cost for the B-2 is 100 million US dollars..."

"List the performance list after modification."

"B-2 (after 2020s technological modification)"

Engine: 4× General Electric F118-GE-100 turbofan engines

Thrust: 4× 27,300 lbs

Maximum speed: 1.87 Ma He

Payload: 32,000 kg

Service ceiling: 21,200 meters

Maximum range: 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km)

Thrust-to-weight ratio: 0.282

Head-on RCS value: 0.02㎡ (involving stealth capability)

Seeing this data, Lin Yi was stunned.

The data of this modified B-2 bomber was simply explosive; it was like another aircraft.

In terms of stealth capability, the original B-2 bomber's head-on RCS value was 0.1㎡,

and now it was directly reduced to one-fifth of the original.

You must know that even for the F-22 Raptor, its head-on RCS value was only 0.01㎡.

And for a heavy bomber like the B-2, with a wingspan of 52.43 meters, a length of 21 meters, and a weight of 170 tons,

the stealth capability of the new B-2 data was beyond imagination.

Lin Yi then named this bomber B-2S.

S—meant "Super."

Although to procure this B-2 magic-modified version, the unit price rose to 300 million US dollars.

But Lin Yi felt it was very worth it.

For a mere 100 million US dollars, he almost got a new fighter jet.

However, this modification capability could only be used by the host,

and could not be listed in the DWS platform's weapon catalog.

Thus, Lin Yi decided that the gift for Britain would include 20 F-22s, 20 Jian-20s, and 6 B-2Ss.

Just for this expense, he spent 1.88 billion US dollars.

Originally, his overseas account had risen back to 23 billion US dollars, and now it became about 21.1 billion US dollars.

However, Lin Yi thought this money was well spent.

After all, the money spent became his arsenal.

They all belonged to his fixed assets.

Even, if one day in the future Lin Yi was accidentally exposed, and the Dragon Nation could not accommodate him,

then relying on these weapons, ===== CHAPTER 407 =====

Then, relying on these military-industrial products,
