Chapter 83, Huaxia Academician
China's "Arrow" fighter jets flew into space like sharp arrows. Such a huge thing was naturally not hidden from the advanced countries in Europe and the United States, especially now that Eagle Sauce attaches great importance to China. There are satellites flying over China anytime and anywhere. Pass by and monitor every move in China.
In the Eagle Polygon Building, Defense Secretary James was rudely woken up from his sleep. The visitor seemed very anxious and had no scruples at all. At this time, Defense Secretary James frowned to express his dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Minister, our satellite and surveillance systems have discovered a major discovery, and we need you to go there immediately."
The visitor's name is William, James' secretary. He has always been very steady in his work, but now something has caused him to lose his composure.
"What's the big deal?"
James seemed to sense from William's anxious look that this was something unusual, so he got up immediately and prepared to go there. While walking, he didn't forget to ask about the relevant things first.
"It's about the recent situation on the Chinese side. Just now our satellites monitored a set of unbelievable situations. The Chinese side actually experimented with an unprecedented and terrifying fighter jet today, with a speed exceeding Mach 10!"
As William walked, he quickly told James the simple story of the matter.
"What? Mach 10, this is impossible!"
James' eyes widened when he heard it, and then he immediately denied it with great certainty.
James, who was born in the military, is very proficient in military matters, and he is also very clear about the speed of aircraft. He is very clear about what the speed of Mach 10 means. The most advanced fighter jets in the current market cannot reach the maximum speed. It is capable of reaching the ultimate speed of Mach 3.
"I also hope this is impossible, but this is what our satellite monitors, and it goes beyond that. China's new fighter jets can take off directly from the ground and fly into space. After the fighter jets circle around in space, Returned to the ground safely."
William smiled helplessly, and then told another fact that was even more unacceptable.
"Fly directly into space?"
"Oh, God!"
When James heard this, he was in disbelief. He could not imagine what new technology China had developed that could actually allow fighter planes to take off directly from the ground and fly into space at a speed exceeding Mach 10.
The two of them walked very fast and soon came to a monitoring hall. A three-dimensional earth was displayed on the huge monitor. There were dots outside the earth. These were all satellites of Eagle Sauce. At this time, there were many satellites in the hall. The scientists were all arguing with faces red in the face. The small monitor next to them was playing the footage captured by the surveillance satellite.
"The speed of Mach 10 is comparable to an intercontinental missile, and a fuel jet engine is simply not enough to provide such strong power. What kind of technology is it?"
"It stands to reason that based on China's current technological level, they are simply not capable of producing such an advanced fighter. After the speed exceeds Mach 10, the huge friction with the air is enough to burn up the fighter. China definitely has not mastered such advanced technology. material technology.”
"Also, the reason why aircraft can fly in the sky relies on the buoyancy of the air. The higher the fighter plane flies to the upper level, the thinner the atmosphere and the less buoyancy it can provide. However, this aircraft can actually fly directly from the ground. Going into space is really counterintuitive.”
Each scientist frowned at this time and carefully studied the data obtained by the monitoring satellites. They really couldn't figure out what kind of technology could allow fighter planes to take off directly from the ground and into space at 10 times the speed of sound.
China's actions this time are really unexpected. China, which has never been very good in the aviation field, has not even been able to mass-produce its own fighter planes. Now it has suddenly created such a terrifying aircraft. It is so unexpected. In addition, it is really unbelievable, but the monitoring data truly tells everyone that this is true.
"Gentlemen, can anyone tell me the specific situation in detail?"
James came to the hall, saw the situation, frowned and said loudly.
"Mr. Minister, this is the picture captured by our surveillance satellite at 10 o'clock China time."
Someone soon played the picture and started explaining at the same time.
"At 10 o'clock Chinese time, at this location in China, a new Chinese fighter plane, a fighter plane that had never appeared before, took off. In just ten minutes, they flew over the Indian Ocean at a speed of Mach 10, and then flew over the Indian Ocean. It flew directly into space, and after circling along the equatorial orbit in space, it flew into the earth again and returned to the ground very smoothly. "
"This is a high-definition picture we captured in space."
A picture of the "Arrow" fighter plane was played. The entire fighter plane was like a ray from the ocean, lifelike, and its silver-gray streamlined body was full of science fiction colors.
"Gentlemen, can anyone tell me what this means?"
James looked at every detail carefully, looking at every high-definition picture taken by the satellite, his face became increasingly ugly, and he asked slowly after a long time.
"This means that our existing weapon systems are basically useless against such a fighter, which is faster than our missiles!"
"It also means that China has mastered a new power technology. Our existing fighters, even the 6th and 7th generation fighters we are vigorously researching, are all outdated, because our fighters can never exceed the speed of Mach 10."
"It also means that from now on, China has an unparalleled advantage in space. They can directly take off from the ground and transport supplies into space. Although I don’t know how much it costs, it is definitely many times cheaper than using a launch vehicle, and it is safer and faster."
"The most important thing is that this means that we, the Eagle Sauce, can no longer dominate the world in terms of military affairs. Unless we can also develop equally advanced fighters as soon as possible, otherwise, they only need a few formations of such fighters to destroy all our armed forces completely!"
The scientists helplessly stated to James one incredible fact after another, which was worse than James himself imagined. James' face became uglier and uglier, and his eyebrows were wrinkled.
"William, send all the data and information as well as the relevant impact assessment analysis report to the President. I will go to the White House to report to the President immediately."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, James rushed to the Presidential Palace without any hesitation to report his work.
At the same time, other advanced countries on the earth also monitored this test flight, and they were all alarmed. The "God Arrow" fighter was like a sharp arrow piercing the heart of the world's major powers.
On the other hand, the research and development of the "God Arrow" fighter has achieved brilliant results. Because of Li Fu's participation, the plasma engine that seemed to exist only in theory actually came out of the blueprint in just over two months, and flew smoothly into the blue sky, rushed out of the earth and into space.
The three key core technologies involved here, material technology, plasma power technology, and atomic battery technology, were all quickly solved with the participation of Li Fu, and it was so smooth with the help of the powerful power of the country.
The birth of the "Shenjian" fighter has a very far-reaching significance. In a sense, plasma propulsion technology can at least dominate the power direction of mankind in the next few decades. In this regard, China is at the forefront of all countries and has taken off in the space field related to the future.
For such a major scientific research achievement, the country's leaders are very generous. With a wave of their hands, the bonus for the entire scientific research team alone is more than 10 billion. From core scientists like Liu Shiying, Li Fu, Yin Ya, Wu Chengying, etc., to ordinary researchers who participated in the huge team of more than 10,000 people, everyone received a considerable bonus.
Of course, for Li Fu, this bonus is nothing at all. If these technologies are in Li Fu's own hands, they are not something that can be measured by money.
In addition to a considerable bonus, the celebration banquet was held in the most solemn Great Hall. All the main leaders of the country were present. Li Fu, Liu Shiying and other core scientists of the team were fortunate to be able to take photos with the leaders of the country.
As the core and key figure of the entire team, Li Fu participated in almost all projects, and all three core problems involved were solved by Li Fu. The treatment Li Fu enjoyed was unprecedented. For the first time, he really entered the vision of the top leaders, was deeply remembered, and was directly given the special treatment of a national treasure.
Of course, in addition to these, more than 200 people in the entire team were soon awarded the title of Huaxia Academician because of this major achievement. Among them, Li Fu, the core, was naturally indispensable. Even Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao, and Yang Yiping, who were brought by Li Fu, were also awarded the title of Huaxia Academician because of their outstanding performance. Like Li Fu, they were also fortunate to participate in the celebration banquet in the Great Hall and take a group photo.
Li Fu, Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao, and Yang Yiping are all very young. This time they were awarded the title of Huaxia Academician, breaking the record of the youngest Huaxia Academician and becoming the five youngest among the entire Huaxia Academicians.
Of course, those who knew the internal details had no objection to all of this, because these five people were truly geniuses, especially Li Fu, who was a monster.
