Chapter 311: Pacific Rim - Earth's Defense System (Part 1)
In South America, near the Chilean Coastal Area, a Kaiju standing nearly a hundred meters tall and weighing two to three thousand tons rampaged along the coast.
This creature had shell-like armor on its back, and yellow arteries covered its entire body, as it brandished two pairs of clawed forelimbs.
Although its main limbs were enormous, Knifehead's most effective weapon was its head, a blade-like head resembling a shark, long and narrow at the front, with enough strength to pierce a steel ship hull.
A Chilean Coast Guard patrol boat was smashed to pieces by a single impact from its head, and the six Coast Guard officers on board were not spared, all perishing in the monster's mouth.
More than a dozen Rafale fighter jets circled around this Knifehead Kaiju, firing energy pulse lasers in a probing attack, attempting to lure it to an Uninhabited Island.
The Rafale fighter jet is a twin-engine, delta-wing, high-maneuverability, multi-role fourth and a half generation fighter designed and manufactured by Dassault Aviation of France.
The true advantage of the Rafale fighter jet lies in its multi-role combat capability. This fighter jet is the most "comprehensively capable" in the World, not only excelling in both sea and air but also possessing extremely powerful air combat and ground/sea attack capabilities.
Taking the F3 variant as an example, the Rafale already possesses superb anti-sea attack, reconnaissance, and nuclear attack capabilities. The Rafale is a comprehensively capable and relatively balanced medium-sized fighter jet that can engage in air combat, perform ground attack, and also serve as a carrier-based aircraft.
The F3 variant fighter jet can even drop nuclear bombs. The only new fighter jets in the World that truly belong to this category of "all-around general-purpose fighter jets," besides the Rafale, are the Federation's F/A-18E/F and F-35.
Due to their excellent performance, the Rafale fighter jet, the European Typhoon fighter, and the Swedish Saab JAS-39 fighter are collectively known as the "European Three Heroes."
In terms of power, the Rafale uses the M88 series engine produced by Snecma. The M88 is an advanced twin-spool afterburning turbofan engine developed by Snecma for the Rafale fighter jet. The version currently in service is the M88-2, with a dry thrust of 50kN and a maximum afterburning thrust of 75kN.
Its maximum level flight speed can reach Mach 2.0, with a combat radius of 1093 - 1852 kilometers. In addition to being equipped with a 30mm autocannon, its onboard weapons include 14 external hardpoints, with a maximum ammunition capacity of 9 tons.
It can carry cruise missiles, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, etc.
Furthermore, due to the decryption of Chitauri technology, energy pulse type laser weapons have now become semi-conventional weapons for major military industry companies.
Take the Rafale fighter jet, for instance; in addition to the 30mm autocannon, it is also equipped with two energy pulse cannons. As for energy source, Dassault Aviation is now a Partner of Tang Energy Company. The Rafale aircraft has abandoned conventional aviation fuel tanks and uses Arc Reactors as its power Energy Source.
A medium-sized Arc Reactor is enough to double the Rafale fighter jet's range.
(As an aside, compared to the Energy Company under Tang Group, Stark Industries, which also possesses Arc Reactor technology, has fallen far behind in this armament race.
This isn't because Tang Group violated the secret Arc Reactor technology embargo Agreement reached with Stark Industries. After all, the two companies working together completely control the core technology of the Arc Reactor. It's important to note that current exploration spaceships, space stations, and some new Chitauri technology all require Arc Reactors, which are small in size and provide fast clean energy, for their energy supply!
Currently, there are three forces in the World that possess Arc Reactor technology: Tang Group, Stark Industries, and a certain Country that reverse-engineered the Arc Reactor! However, *Country's reverse-engineered Arc Reactor still has many unresolved issues, especially the problem of miniaturization.
Therefore, the Arc Reactors they produce are generally used in large rocket launchers and space station fields, and currently do not pose a significant impact on the market share of Tang Group and Stark Industries.
Tang Group and Stark Industries signed a technology embargo Agreement long ago, implementing a form of energy monopoly. Therefore, the Arc Reactor procurement orders from Western Countries like the European Union and the Federation have been absorbed by the two companies.
What, you mention the Federation's anti-monopoly law? You might want to check who the Shareholders of Tang Group and Stark Industries are.
If someone were to bring this up in the Federal Court, it would likely turn into a dramatic scene of "Who is in the hall below, and why are they suing this official!"
However, in the field of fighter jets, perhaps due to a psychological aversion, Stark Industries has never deeply cultivated the military industry field, after all, their former President/CEO announced that they would no longer be involved in the military industry!
Although Stark Industries later convened a Board of Directors meeting, forcing Pepper Potts to adjust Stark Industries' company strategy to enter the fighter jet energy supply field, they have fallen far behind Tang Group!) This is an aside, but precisely because of the decryption of Chitauri technology, the National Governments, having undergone weapon upgrades and gradually stepping out of Earth to look towards the Stars, are actually not afraid of monsters of this Body Size.
If we were to discuss combat capability, solely in terms of lethality and destructive power, the Chilean Government, which has procured thirty new Rafale fighter jets, is fully capable of eliminating this Kaiju.
What truly gives the National Governments a headache is the potent poison contained Inside the Body of these monsters.
More than a dozen Rafale fighter jets, despite carrying heavy weapons capable of killing this Kaiju, could only circle around it like flies, harassing it and trying to drive it out of this Sea Area.
"This is the S.H.I.E.L.D. Rapid Combat Command Post. In three minutes, we will deploy a large amount of liquid nitrogen gas into this Sea Area. Please evacuate the Area. Acknowledge receipt!"
More than a dozen Rafale fighter jets simultaneously received a piece of information in their communication channels.
After consulting with the Chilean Air Force Command, the more than a dozen Rafale fighter jets simultaneously pulled up and left the Area. As they ascended, a Helicarrier above them was slowly deactivating its stealth mode.
At the same time, inside the Helicarrier's Deck Cabin, the hatch opened, and the ammunition launching pod continuously dropped hardened canisters the size of wine barrels.
"Hey, you can do it, Bobby!"
An Iron Suit modified from an Iron Soldier, its exterior painted sea blue, similar to seawater,
A Young Man wearing the iconic X-Men dark tight suit walked towards this Iron Suit, rubbing his hands. Judging by his expression, there was a slight hint of nervousness.
Click, click!
After his entire body was encased in the Suit and the hood fell, Bobby took a deep breath and, following the technique he had recently learned to control the Suit, shouted,
"Nightcrawler!"
"I'm here!"
Accompanied by a steady voice, a virtual digital screen appeared before his Eyes.
Hearing the familiar voice he had often heard during training, Bobby finally calmed his Mind. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
