Chapter 72: Are you sure this isn't an aerospace fighter?

"20,000 meters..."

"30,000 meters..."

"31,000 meters..."

Beside the display screen, Lu Lu Debiao held his breath, his expression tense to the extreme.

Zhao Lao, on the other hand, always had a warm smile of having everything under control.

Finally.

After the numbers on the screen reached an altitude of 40,000 meters, they finally paused.

Seeing this, Lu Lu Debiao let out a long sigh of relief.

This was already the limit he could predict.

An altitude of over 40,000 meters had already reached the top of the stratosphere!

The air here is thin to the extreme; in history, apart from satellites, rockets, and other spacecraft, no flying object has ever been able to exceed this altitude...

No matter how awesome the J-40 is.

It's just a fighter jet after all!

If it flies any higher and breaks through the stratosphere, the extreme low temperature of outer space is definitely something a fighter jet cannot withstand...

Just when everyone thought 40,000 meters was the limit of the new fighter jet.

At an altitude of 40,000 meters.

The J-40 made a series of clanging sounds!

The next second, a protective shield made of special material slowly lifted from the rear of the fuselage, finally wrapping the entire plane within it...

Immediately after.

Four engines drove simultaneously, pale tongues of fire sprayed from the belly of the fighter jet, and a thrust so huge it was indescribable struck again.

"Boom boom boom!"

The roar of the engines was like thunder, resounding at the top of the empty stratosphere!

The J-40 rushed toward outer space again!

On the ground.

The numbers that had already stabilized changed in an instant!

"40,000..."

"41,000... maximum flight climb speed 3.0 Mach..."

"..."

???

Lu Lu Debiao was completely stunned.

Why is it still flying upward!!

If it keeps flying, it's going to break through the stratosphere!

You're a fighter jet, not an aerospace fighter!

Are you planning to film StarCraft by flying so high?

Lu Lu Debiao is the commander of the three services after all, and he still has the necessary control; he hurriedly connected to the radio communication system.

"Pilot 001!"

"Report current situation!"

"Why is the plane you are operating still climbing upward?"

"Are you tired of living?"

"Breaking through the stratosphere, oxygen will disappear, and the temperature will plummet!"

"The human body simply cannot withstand such a harsh environment and will definitely die quickly!"

"Please land immediately! Stop climbing!"

"Repeat, land immediately, stop climbing!"

A rustling sound came from the radio communication channel.

After a long time.

The voice of Pilot 001 finally sounded.

"Report, Commander!"

"The situation of the plane I am operating is completely normal!"

"The plane has opened the constant temperature chamber and life support chamber!"

"Oxygen is sufficient, the temperature is constant at 28 degrees Celsius, and the fighter jet still has the ability to climb upward!"

"Requesting to continue the mission, please instruct!!"

???

No way?

What the hell is this constant temperature chamber and life support chamber!

Isn't this stuff from a space station?

Why would it appear on a fighter jet...

Lu Lu Debiao felt terrible.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Lao's warm smile again, he only felt an aura of a peerless master rushing toward him!

This design is too advanced...

"Mission approved!"

Since even the life support chamber and constant temperature chamber were opened, Lu Lu Debiao had no reason to make the J-40 land immediately!

Just like that.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the J-40 sped all the way!

Its maximum climb speed even repeatedly exceeded 3 Mach!

"50,000 meters..."

"60,000 meters..."

"61,000 meters..."

Finally, the fighter jet flew to an altitude of 70,000 meters!

Only then did it stop!

At this very moment, everyone present had turned to stone...

70,000 meters...

If it flew any higher, it could probably reach an artificial satellite!

This is too outrageous...

You're a fighter jet!

A maximum flight altitude of 70,000 meters, isn't that like cheating?

You know!

The Freedom Country's F-22 Raptor can only fly 28,000 meters at most!

At 70,000 meters!

The F-22 probably couldn't even catch your exhaust...

What's the point of fighting!

I asked you to design a sixth-generation fighter jet, and good heavens, you directly created an aerospace fighter for me?

Even if it is an aerospace fighter.

The White Emperor concept plane unveiled at this year's Long Country Zhuhai Airshow.

Didn't look this awesome...

What's more, the White Emperor is just a concept plane!

Could it be that the Long Country's technology has developed to this extent?

Although Lu Lu Debiao often fantasized about seeing the Long Country's military industry develop rapidly and eventually surpass the Freedom Country.

But he never expected it to surpass it at such a bizarre speed!

It made Lu Lu Debiao feel a bit unconfident...

Lu Lu Debiao glanced back and saw that Zhao Lao still had that calm and breezy smile on his face.

His heart skipped a beat.

Is this the composure of a top scientific expert in the Long Country?

Terrifying!

"Zhao Lao..."

"You wouldn't... have predicted this too, would you..."

"Ahem!"

Zhao Lao came back to his senses as if waking from a dream.

He touched his nose awkwardly.

"More... more or less..."

After saying this, Zhao Lao clearly felt a flash of brilliance in Lu Lu Debiao's eyes.

The admiration in his eyes was almost solidifying and overflowing!

What is the demeanor of a great general!

What is a pillar of the country!

That is exactly what people like Zhao Lao are!

If nothing else, just Zhao Lao's ability to predict is simply divine!

Truly worthy of being the father of the Long Country's fourth and fifth-generation jets and a winner of the highest science and technology award!

This ability to handle things with ease, even he, the commander-in-chief of the three services, could hardly keep up!

Lu Lu Debiao silently gave a thumbs up.

"Zhao Lao!"

"I've heard before that you are god-like in your predictions, and seeing it today, I am truly convinced!"

"You are really, too divine!"

Listening to Lu Lu Debiao's heartfelt words, Zhao Lao felt even more awkward.

Where did I predict it!

70,000 meters!

Zhao Lao was scared silly at the time, the smile on his face froze, and he hadn't had time to take it back!

And then this kid Lu Lu Debiao saw it...

That's what caused this huge misunderstanding!

Sure enough!

The thing you can't do in this world is show off...

Every time you show off a little, you need to show off a hundred times more to make up for it!

It's too tiring!

I don't know how this kid Song Qi manages to show off so skillfully...

To the side.

Lu Lu Debiao came back to his senses and continued to speak on the radio communication channel.

"Pilot 001, answer if you receive!"

"Please immediately enter the second round of testing to carry out the task of collecting data on the fighter jet's maximum cruising speed!"

"..."

Suddenly, Zhao Lao waved his hand, interrupting Lu Lu Debiao.

"Commander Lu..."

"I want to see the radar system of this fighter jet first..."

"Can you move this test forward?"

Seeing that Zhao Lao had spoken, Lu Lu Debiao nodded immediately.

After all, his Northern Military Region testing data was meant for Zhao Lao...

Now that the main person had spoken, how could Lu Lu Debiao not listen?

He immediately changed his words: "Change the test task, turn on the fighter jet's radar system, and conduct radar system data testing!"

A moment later.

The pilot's voice came through the radio channel.

"001 received!"

"Please rest assured, Commander, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
