Chapter 71: Oh no, he's showing off!

Was that a sonic boom just now?

Lu Lu Debiao blinked; the J-40 that was just in front of him was now so far away that he couldn't even see its shadow.

Only a scorching heat wave remained, sweeping across the area.

Everyone present was stunned.

Vertical takeoff, and it even blasted a sonic boom!

What kind of monster is this!!

Is there no justice left!

This isn't a fighter jet iteration; calling it a technological explosion wouldn't be an exaggeration...

Just from this vertical takeoff, everyone present could be sure.

The J-40's aerospace engine's thrust is absolutely powerful to the extreme!

Compared to the J-20, it definitely has a qualitative leap!

Just in terms of fighter jet aerospace engines, the J-40 might already be at the forefront of the whole world!

At this moment.

Lu Lu Debiao, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, rushed over.

"Quick!"

"Quick, pull up the real-time data of the J-40!"

"Don't just stand there..."

For this first flight, the Sky Sword Institute added many sensing instruments to the surface of the J-40's fuselage.

It can accurately understand the fighter jet's flight speed, altitude, wind resistance, and so on.

And provide real-time feedback.

Zhao Lao, to the side, immediately pricked up his ears and leaned in.

Wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Although Zhao Lao was also present for the J-40's first show last time.

But Zhao Lao wasn't sure if the J-40 had used its full strength back then!

Besides!

Little Song also said that the Zero-model was modified from the Eight-model, and its overall performance definitely couldn't compare to a newly manufactured fighter jet.

This time, the pilot almost pushed the engine to the limit!

He would definitely be able to see the true strength of the J-40!

Zhao Lao rubbed his hands in excitement like a fly.

The next second.

A string of information appeared on the tablet in Lu Lu Debiao's hand.

"Fighter jet real-time altitude 3,152 meters, current speed 2.2 Mach, maximum climb speed 2.8 Mach... wind resistance..."

???

???

???

For a time, a series of question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

Lu Lu Debiao looked at Zhao Lao as if he had seen a ghost.

His mouth was wide open, and it took a long time before he could speak.

"Holy crap!"

"Is this damn sensor broken..."

"Didn't your fighter jet just take off?"

"How did it fly to over 3,000 meters in the blink of an eye!"

"The J-20 next door has only flown 1,000 meters..."

"And even then... the J-20 had a head start..."

The data before them was so bizarre that it was almost challenging everyone's physical limits.

At this moment, even Zhao Lao, who had prepared himself mentally, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He thought he was hallucinating...

You know, the advanced fighter jets in the world today, although they all claim to be supersonic, that refers to horizontal flight speed.

If you really talk about climb speed, breaking the sound barrier would already be considered extremely excellent performance...

But what the hell is this J-40!

Its maximum climb speed is actually as high as 2.8 Mach, exactly the same as the J-20's maximum flight speed!

If it were to cruise horizontally, wouldn't its speed be comparable to a missile?

This is too scary...

About twenty seconds later.

On the tablet, the J-40's flight altitude had steadily stopped at 10,000 meters.

While the J-20 next to it was still struggling to climb at an altitude of 2,000 meters.

It was so far behind the J-40 that it couldn't even catch its exhaust...

Looking at this scene, everyone in the field understood that the J-20's data no longer had any significance for comparison.

The gap between the two was already too large.

So large that it didn't look like a one-generation gap; it was as if they were several generations apart...

Lu Lu Debiao also didn't expect this sixth-generation jet to be so fierce.

He was also a bit dazed for a moment.

Just then, the pilot's voice came through the radio communication channel.

"Report, Commander!"

"Pilot 001 has reached the target altitude, taking a total of... 39 seconds..."

"Please instruct..."

Seeing the data of 39 seconds, even the pilot himself wasn't confident...

That's a full 10,000 meters...

Thirty-nine seconds.

Four small words.

Silenced everyone present.

Calculating it, that's an average speed of two Mach...

And that includes the time for takeoff and stopping; if the target were set at 20,000 meters, this average speed would probably rush directly to 2.5 Mach...

Brother!

You're a fighter jet...

At this speed, even rockets aren't this fast!

Amidst the shocked eyes of everyone.

Zhao Lao steadied himself.

"Ahem..."

"It's alright..."

"It's slightly worse than I expected!"

"It seems there is still room for improvement!"

Zhao Lao's pretentious voice came through.

Lu Lu Debiao turned his head stiffly.

The look in his eyes toward Zhao Lao was now filled with disbelief...

"Still room for improvement?"

"Zhao Lao!"

"What kind of joke are you making!"

Lu Lu Debiao felt like he was going crazy.

Yet Zhao Lao always had a mysterious smile on his face, which made his scalp tingle.

Oh no!

He's showing off...

To the side, Secretary Little Li looked at the funny Zhao Lao with a smile.

He didn't expose Zhao Lao's act.

Getting older, being able to play around like this, it seems not bad...

"Alright! Commander Lu, don't wait for the J-20, let's go directly to the next phase of testing!"

Zhao Lao patted Lu Lu Debiao on the shoulder and said softly.

Lu Lu Debiao then reacted and hurriedly issued orders on the radio channel.

"Enter the next phase! Limit altitude test!"

A moment later.

The pilot's voice came through the channel.

"Received!"

The next second.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the J-40 let out a roar.

Then, like a hawk, it continued to sprint toward the vast sky!

On the ground, the data on the tablet continued to jump rapidly at a speed beyond everyone's imagination.

"11,000 meters..."

"12,000 meters..."

"..."

Lu Lu Debiao looked at the jumping data, his heart also beating like a drum.

He reached out and poked Zhao Lao gently.

"Zhao Lao!"

"Your plane is so advanced, the maximum flight altitude should be around 30,000 meters, right..."

Zhao Lao smiled and said nothing.

Looking like a master who had attained the Dao.

It left Lu Lu Debiao completely bewildered.

Zhao Lao was actually beating like a drum in his heart too.

How the hell would I know how high this thing can fly!

If Song Qi's creation flew out of the atmosphere, I wouldn't be surprised at all...

However.

Lu Lu Debiao on the other side saw Zhao Lao smiling so easily and freely, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no!

My guess was still too conservative!

Looking at this posture...

Could this J-40 reach 40,000 meters!

With this flight altitude, wouldn't it be dominating the globe?

This is too scary...
