Chapter 175: The Existence That Overturns the Traditional Mode of Airborne Operations!
The entire video lasts, at most, just over a minute, but the content is staggering!
The amount of information contained in every single frame is immense!
The moment he saw Chu Chen pass through the Death Eye unscathed, Zhao Zhangtian put away the shock in his eyes and looked at Ye Chengjun with a face full of confusion, asking:
"Old Ye, what is this?"
"It's a scene that actually happened in a Simulated Crime program!" Ye Chengjun replied excitedly.
"A Simulated Crime program?"
Zhao Zhangtian asked back, not understanding, having no idea what this "Simulated Crime" program Ye Chengjun was talking about actually was!
To this day, it has been nearly a month since "Simulated Crime" began airing.
Due to Chu Chen's sudden emergence, the program's popularity has grown with each passing day, and it has completely become the most popular variety show at the moment, with cumulative views reaching tens of billions!
However, there are still some people who do not know of this program's existence.
High-level classified units like the Factory are among them.
Huaxia's Factory is one of the few classified units within the General Logistics Department.
Even those at the level of the top leaders rarely have contact with the outside world on a daily basis.
Not to mention various media and communication equipment; everything uses dedicated networks and lines, so the acquisition of much news is very delayed.
This time, if it weren't for Ye Chengjun being on leave and bringing this news back from the outside, they might still not know of this program's existence even now.
"The name of this program is 'Simulated Crime', a live reality show jointly launched by China Central Television and various major satellite channels. In the program, contestants play criminals and carry out various simulated criminal activities. As long as they are not caught by a capture team composed of professional criminal investigators within the stipulated time, they can advance and participate in competing for the final one billion Huaxia Yuan grand prize!"
"This program wasn't very popular at first, but because of the appearance of one person, it quickly shocked the world..."
Ye Chengjun gave a rough introduction to the rules of the program, then immediately steered the topic to Chu Chen!
Zhao Zhangtian quickly understood the meaning behind his words and pointed at Chu Chen, who was "flying through the air" in the video, saying: "That person... is it him?"
"You might not believe it when I say it, but when this guy first joined the program, he directly hijacked a cash transport plane..."
Upon hearing that Chu Chen had hijacked a cash transport plane, Zhao Zhangtian's eyes widened like ping-pong balls: "What did you say? Hijacked a cash transport plane?"
Ye Chengjun nodded: "Mm..."
"How did he manage that?" Zhao Zhangtian asked again.
"It was Parachuting."
As Ye Chengjun spoke, he found another video to show him: "Take a look at this, you should understand everything then."
This video is an official clip from "Simulated Crime," which meticulously records the entirety of every one of Chu Chen's crimes and extreme challenges!
"NO. 1: Earth Awakening: Hua Mo Bank cash transport plane — Mexico Swallow Cave extreme Fixed-point Parachuting!"
"NO. 2: Heavenly Birth: Himalayas Museum — Mount Everest Peak Parachuting!"
"NO. 3: Force Emergence: South Africa Kimberley Diamond Mine — Congo River Extreme Abyss Drifting!"
"NO. 4: Ice Solidification: Luo Ma Huang Jia Yinchaochang — Alps Extreme Peak Skiing!"
"NO. 5: Wind Surge (In Progress): Swiss National Bank — Wallenstadt extreme unpowered flight..."
While watching this video, the expression on Zhao Zhangtian's face was extremely complex, as if the door to a new world had been opened, filled with all sorts of indescribable shock and horror.
The video was a bit long, but he still watched it to the end without missing a single frame.
After finishing the video, Zhao Zhangtian was stunned for a while; before long, he asked with a grave expression:
"Did he do all of these?"
"Mm."
"What is his name?"
"His name is Chu Chen, a prospective university student who just turned nineteen," Ye Chengjun replied.
"Only just turned nineteen?" Zhao Zhangtian asked in confusion.
Ye Chengjun nodded and said nothing.
The amount of information was quite large; after digesting it for a while, Zhao Zhangtian looked at Ye Chengjun and said ponderingly: "Is he using extreme sports to commit crimes?"
"That's right. At the very beginning of the program, he announced all eight challenges. These eight challenges correspond to the top-tier extreme sports that can be completed under the extreme limits of humanity, bar none! According to some, those who can complete all eight challenges can achieve Nirvana. Others say he is actually just trying to use this method to awaken people's attention to Earth's ecology, because he hasn't pocketed any of his criminal proceeds, using them all to help the poor..."
Ye Chengjun said word by word:
"Right now, what he is currently performing is the fifth challenge: Wind Surge, wearing a self-made Flight Suit to perform unpowered flight in the canyon with the most variable wind systems in the world... This suit of his is designed very ingeniously, making excellent use of aerodynamic principles and ergonomic principles, which can ensure the flyer glides through the air without obstruction, just like a kite!"
"Did he invent this suit himself?" Zhao Zhangtian asked.
"That's right."
Zhao Zhangtian is also a veteran military industrialist.
When he saw this Flight Suit of Chu Chen's, he immediately reacted: "You mean to apply this Flight Suit of his to the field of aviation for behind-enemy-lines airborne operations?"
Hearing this, Ye Chengjun nodded vigorously:
"That's right! This thing is much easier to use than the Landing Capsule we currently use. Not only is it fast, but it can also change direction at will according to the flyer's control, achieving precision airborne drops!"
After Ye Chengjun finished speaking, Zhao Zhangtian furrowed his brows, looking as if he were deep in thought about something; it was only after a long while that he spoke:
"It is indeed excellent. If it can be mass-produced and promoted throughout the military, it will certainly greatly enhance our military's airborne combat capabilities behind enemy lines! However..."
Zhao Zhangtian's change in tone immediately caused the smile on Ye Chengjun's face to freeze: "However what?"
"This sport isn't something just anyone can play. Its danger level is not low. Without professional training, ordinary soldiers would find it hard to handle, and the casualty rate of airborne accidents would likely be difficult to control effectively..." Zhao Zhangtian explained.
Hearing this, Ye Chengjun nodded and said:
"You're right, but these problems can be overcome!"
"Many military armaments are not perfect when they are first developed; most require later improvements before they can be put into actual combat. This Flight Suit is the same. I am very optimistic about this invention of his. Given time, it will certainly shine brilliantly and could even completely overturn the traditional mode of airborne operations behind enemy lines!"
