Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

126: Kunpeng’s maiden flight! It circled the Earth in three hours!While The Pentagon of the Western Alliance fell into a deathly silence of shattered belief due to the terrifying maneuvers that completely subverted all common sense in physics.

The entire Xia nation, however, erupted!

”Holy crap! What did I just see?! Instant Stop?! Right-angle Turn?! Thomas Flair?!”

”Is this—is this still a damn plane?! This is clearly a UFO from a sci-fi movie!”

”That’s too awesome! Truly too awesome! Our Xia nation actually managed to create this kind of divine thing?!”

”Hahahaha! Did you see the expression on those bastards from the Western Alliance? Like they just ate shit! So satisfying! So damn satisfying!”

For a time!

The entire Xia nation’s internet was filled with cheer!

All the Xia nation netizens who had previously felt stifled and angry because of the Western Alliance’s technological blockade were now completely energized!

Every single one felt pride and relief!

Honored to be a part of it!

They knew!

Starting today!

The overlord of the world’s skies!

Will now completely be named

Xia!

And at this moment.

In the global live broadcast footage.

Lu Chen, the mysterious youth who had always been hidden behind the scenes, finally spoke again.

His voice was still calm and composed.

It was as if the god-tier maneuver, which was enough to make all the world’s air forces collectively unemployed, was nothing more than a mundane appetizer

—a small dish in his eyes.

”To all the viewers and friends.”

”What you just saw was merely a small warm-up exercise for our ’Kunpeng’ Fighter Jet.”

”I know everyone hasn’t had their fill yet.”

”In that case...”

A smile filled with confidence and pride curved his lips!

”Next!”

”Is the moment to truly witness a miracle!”

The moment his voice fell!

Look at the screen!

That Golden Phantom, which had just finished showing off a spectacular ”dance” in the air!

Suddenly raised its nose sharply!

And then!

”Whoosh—!!!”

A terrifying shriek that tore through the sky, ten times sharper than before!

Its streamlined, aesthetically pleasing fuselage!

Actually resembled an intercontinental missile that had broken free from all restraints!

With a terrifying, almost vertical posture!

Towards the boundless, vast, endless, blue

firmament!

It shot straight up!

Ten thousand meters!

Twenty thousand meters!

Fifty thousand meters!

One hundred thousand meters!—The Kármán Line!

It actually took less than thirty short seconds!

To easily break through the atmosphere’s

constraints, which had troubled human civilization for a hundred years!

And entered that profound, dark, silent

cosmic

space!

”O—Oh God!”

”It—It actually flew out of Earth?!”

Inside The Pentagon Command Center.

That Five-Star General watched the scene, which could only be called a ”miracle,” his cloudy old eyes filled with world-shattering horror!

He had worked with aircraft his entire life!

He had never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable

method of takeoff!

This wasn’t flying a plane anymore!

This was clearly piloting a rocket!

And the kind of super

black technology rocket that could take off vertically without any boosters!

However,

this was not what made him feel the most despair.

What made him feel the most despair was this!

The Golden Phantom showed no hesitation after entering space!

Its streamlined fuselage, filled with violent aesthetics, merely traced a graceful arc in the sky!

And then!

It began, with a terrifying

posture!

That surpassed the first cosmic velocity, to orbit this beautiful blue

planet!

Performing ultra-high-speed

cruising!

The Pacific Ocean!

The Atlantic Ocean!

The Indian Ocean!

The Arctic Ocean!

Continent after familiar continent!

Ocean after blue ocean!

Flashed rapidly beneath it!

It was like a monarch inspecting his domain!

With a lofty, condescending posture looking down upon the world!

Overlooking the small, fragile

planet beneath its feet!

And the group of pitiful

mortals who had long been stunned senseless!

And at this moment.

The billions of spectators worldwide who were watching this unprecedented ”global live broadcast” were all frozen as if struck by a paralyzing spell!

Staring blankly at the ”miracle” unfolding on the screen!

Their minds were blank!

Their breathing stopped at that moment!

Their hearts skipped a beat!

They felt as if they were watching a super

sci-fi blockbuster created by Hollywood’s top special effects team!

No!

It was even more shocking than any sci-fi blockbuster!

More real!

And more subversive to their

worldview!

Time passed minute by minute.

When the Golden Phantom completed a full circle of global flight.

And silently hovered once more above Jinghai City in the Xia nation.

A dazzling, blood-red timer was clearly frozen before everyone!

[Three hours, seven minutes, and twenty-one seconds!]

...

The whole world went quiet.

Everyone who had previously felt shock and madness over the unbelievable footage!

Now felt as if an invisible giant hand was tightly gripping their throats!

Their faces were ghostly white!

Their bodies were icy cold!

Th—

Three hours?!

Circling the Earth?!

This—

What the hell kind of devil speed is this?!

This is no longer flying a plane!

This is clearly playing

with the Earth’s time zones!

And just as the entire world was still immersed in these terrifying statistics, enough to suffocate any human being.

The magnetic, calm voice of the youth, seemingly from another dimension.

Slowly sounded again.

”To all the viewers and friends.”

”That small ’global tour’ was merely the most basic of our ’Kunpeng’ Fighter Jet’s”

”standard operations.”

”Next,”

A devilish smile curled his lips.

”Is the real”

”combat drill.”

The moment his voice fell!

Look at the screen!

The Golden Phantom, silently suspended in mid-air!

The smooth alloy armor beneath its belly suddenly split open soundlessly!

Revealing hundreds of mysterious, black, hollow

launch units, filled with an aura of destruction!

And then!

Hundreds of small, air-to-ground

missiles, flickering with cold light!

Like a swarm of death hornets crawling out of hell!

Towards the vast, blue

Pacific Ocean below!

Poured down in an overwhelming torrent!

”NO—!!!”

Inside The Pentagon Command Center.

Burns watched the terrifying, apocalyptic scene on the screen and let out a desperate

roar that sounded inhuman!

He knew!

Where those missiles were aimed!

It was their Western Alliance’s arrogant Seventh

Fleet, the symbol of global hegemony!
