Chapter 118: Sixth-generation aircraft taking flight five years ahead!

We meet again, little comrade Mingyang.

Unlike last time, this time when seeing the old man before him again, Li Mingyang relaxed a lot.

After all, having had the previous interaction experience, Li Mingyang clearly knew that, aside from the old man's much higher status and position, he was actually not much different from an ordinary old man.

At least the attitude he displayed in front of Li Mingyang was like that.

Although regardless of the reason, at least Li Mingyang's demonstrated strength could earn such attitude and respect.

"But I really didn't expect it; I originally thought these few days might still take a long while, at least not until around the year after next at the earliest."

"But who would have thought that only so much time has passed, and I again personally witnessed the birth of our country's great national heavy weapon!"

When saying this, the old man's eyes looking at Li Mingyang were filled with the sincerest appreciation!

Don't think that those who play politics have nothing but politics on their minds; those are comparatively lowly things.

Someone like the old man before us has a broad vision; in his eyes there is only the development of the whole world situation.

And while wanting the country to obtain the desired position in today's world, things like the economic development that was previously emphasized are also important.

But they are absolutely not the most crucial means; the essential most crucial means are still the progress and development of science and technology.

Put more directly, it stems from strong military deterrence.

Just like the northern neighbor, even though it has been dissolved for decades, but having inherited the other's biggest legacy, Big Hairy.

These years, it has long been sidelined in the world, its economic development not great either; at first glance it seems there's nothing worth noting.

But precisely because it inherited the huge legacy of the fallen red giant, its fist is big enough, so over these years it has steadily held the position of the five major hooligans.

In the world it remains a weighty country, and can even be one of the true decision-makers sitting at the table.

Unlike the other two superficial permanent-five countries, although they bear the title, in reality their decision-making power is merely that of a follower trailing behind the white-headed eagle.

And the actual factor deciding all this, isn't it just the size of the fist in one's hand?

Therefore, for every top scientific researcher, the old man before us attaches great importance and respect, let alone Li Mingyang who is so young.

The strength and talent displayed are likewise so exaggerated.

The old man before us has not the slightest doubt that if Li Mingyang can continue maintaining his current pace of progress, keeping vigorous research energy!

Then it is very likely that in the coming decades, solely because of Li Mingyang before us, their country will maintain an undisputed leading position in many fields.

Upon thinking of these, the smile on the old man's face immediately became several degrees more sincere and enthusiastic.

Compared to the national treasure giant panda that everyone, even the whole world, now chats about and admires, in the old man's view, Li Mingyang before us is the true national treasure.

The giant panda is certainly a national symbol and also important, but after all it is merely just an animal.

Even the reason it is now pursued worldwide is a manifestation of national strength.

Many countries' pursuit is not for the panda itself, but for the Eastern dragon behind it.

And Li Mingyang before us can make this red Eastern dragon fully armed, turning it into an even more terrifying existence.

During the entire subsequent test flight process, everyone watched the old man and Li Mingyang standing at the forefront, watching them chat idly from before the test flight even began.

Even until the announcement of test success, the two still chatted about miscellaneous things like an ordinary old man and youngster.

After the previous experience, seeing this somewhat shocking scene again, everyone has already become accustomed to it.

After all, they had already gone through it once before; although this time's performance appears even more exaggerated than last time.

But isn't this young man's, this genius scientist's performance also more dazzling than last time? So the treatment was raised again—what's the problem?

What problem? There's completely none, alright!

Others have already become accustomed to it, and Li Mingyang himself even more so, because he has long since grown used to and accepted his entirely new status.

Having long been mentally prepared for these matters, when they actually happen, naturally there will be no other special emotions.

However, upon seeing the returned successful test flight of the sixth-generation aircraft, Li Mingyang's heart could not help but surge with excitement.

This is the meaning of living out a second life! Compared to the previous life, this lifetime's sixth-generation aircraft at least soared five years earlier above the nine heavens!

This also represents that, relative to the motherland returning to the world's pinnacle, we have again taken a big step forward ahead of time!
