73: Is this magic?

“The Shangxia fighter jet is here!”

With that announcement, the Netizens in the live stream instantly stopped arguing and focused their attention on the live broadcast.

As the camera zoomed in, a Shangxia fighter jet could be seen soaring through the sky.

Although its design wasn't as futuristic and sci-fi-like as the B21, its appearance still excited the domestic Netizens.

“Our own stuff always feels more familiar!”

“Indeed, the big shots from the Strategic Deception Bureau really did make the fighter jet look like a toy before. Now that we see it completely, it's much cooler!”

“It does look much more powerful than how it appeared in the media, but compared to the B21, there's still a visible gap.”

“So what if there's a gap? The United States has been developing for how many years, and we've only been developing for how many years? Being able to catch up like this is already amazing!”

“Exactly, having a gap isn't scary. What matters is recognizing the gap and working hard to catch up. And I believe being behind is only temporary!”

“Even if we lose later, it will still be a glorious defeat!”

The Netizens were all excited to see their own fighter jet appear.

And their Actively admit thatB21 (proactive admission of inferiority to the B21) even left some of the overseas guys, who were ready to find fault, speechless.

After all, the domestic Netizens themselves admitted that they were somewhat inferior in this aspect, so anything they said wouldn't be able to stir up the Netizens' confrontational emotions.

This gave those overseas guys who had prepared to cause trouble a very frustrated feeling, a sense of powerlessness like punching cotton.

As the fighter jet approached, with a more direct comparison, many Netizens felt that this performance was almost certainly a losing battle.

“Lose? I don't think we'll necessarily lose!”

However, some Netizens expressed a different view, immediately arousing everyone's curiosity.

“Hmm? How so?”

“Ahem, I'm somewhat of a military enthusiast, and I always feel like the sound of this fighter jet isn't quite right…”

“Not right? What's not right?”

“I can't pinpoint it, but I just feel like the sound is a bit abnormal, like it's different from the sound of the fighter jet in the official videos released earlier.”

“Ah? Could something be wrong with it?”

The Netizens immediately became worried.

“I'm not sure, but although the sound doesn't seem quite right, it doesn't sound like there's a problem. Instead, it sounds like the kind of roar you'd get from an enhanced power system.”

“No way, buddy, you can tell that?”

“Hehe, I've had sensitive ears since I was little and am extremely sensitive to sound. So I don't think we'll necessarily lose. At least, if I'm not mistaken, if there truly is a breakthrough modification in the power system, at least the speed shouldn't be too far off.”

“…Alright, as long as nothing unexpected happens.”

The Netizens didn't pay too much attention to the words of this military enthusiast.

Because everyone had already prepared themselves mentally.

Losing is losing, and it's really no big deal.

Soon, the two fighter jets flew parallel.

The performance officially began.

The B21 instantly accelerated, like an arrow released from a bowstring, approaching the predetermined target area for a performance strike.

At the same time, it directly disappeared from the radar, performing stealth flight.

“Such incredible stealth capabilities, damn it!”

Seeing this, the Netizens instantly exclaimed in shock.

“I heard this thing uses many advanced multi-functional stealth materials, directly integrating radar, infrared, and visible light stealth performance, while also being able to overcome enemy electromagnetic radiation interference.”

“If it weren't for the live broadcast effect, I estimate that nearby aerial drones and such would have all instantly failed, and we wouldn't even be able to see the footage!”

Some knowledgeable Netizens began to popularize science for everyone, gradually making more Netizens realize the B21's advancement and power.

“Stealth performance is one aspect, and it's also equipped with very advanced mission sensors and intelligent tactical systems, capable of automatically judging the battlefield environment, formulating tactical plans, and eliminating threats.”

“The most important combat aspect is even more formidable; its internal bomb bay can be equipped with various types of missiles, and even carry nuclear warheads!”

“It is said that the United States' basic requirements for this thing include high stealth, all-weather ultra-low altitude flight, advanced electronic warfare and situational awareness capabilities, and also reserving interfaces for future new concept weapons, etc. In short, its functionality and combat capability are all top-notch!”

This popular science instantly made many Netizens clench their fists.

Because for most Netizens, they usually don't pay much attention to these things; they only know the power of the United States' fighter jets but don't know exactly where they are powerful.

Now, after a comprehensive popularization of science, people truly understood the power of this thing.

For some Little Countries, a single B21 fighter jet might be able to inflict devastating strikes.

“Indeed, it's technology ahead of its time. Losing to this guy is not shameful!”

But the Netizens quickly adjusted their mindset. Having witnessed the B21's power, they now had a direction for catching up.

The high-ranking officials within the United States were filled with self-satisfaction in the face of the B21's comprehensive lead and the shock it brought to people worldwide!

The reason they went so far as to reveal their most advanced fighter jet this time was to once again demonstrate the power of the First Great Power to the world!

And now, according to the monitored chat content of Netizens from various countries, it was clear that this plan had achieved great success.

Almost everyone worldwide who saw the B21 fully revealed for the first time was shocked by its advanced technology and powerful capabilities.

Some Little Countries even felt despair.

“The world's First Great Power will always be our Unpretty!”

“Always!”

…

Over the ocean, the performance continued.

With the B21's full display, almost no one believed that Shangxia's fighter jet could still gain any advantage.

Because the B21's power and advancement were comprehensive; it could be said that it had no weaknesses.

Undoubtedly, this time, the United States didn't intend to leave any chance for the domestic side.

Inside the Alien Management Bureau.

Ye Guhong and the others watched the capabilities displayed by the B21, and they were all very calm.

Because they had already obtained the complete B21 technology from Lin Yang during the day.

So at this moment, they didn't have too many emotional fluctuations.

Until the B21 was about to finish its demonstration, Ye Guhong calmly issued an order.

Then…

Over the ocean, the Shangxia fighter jet, which had been completely overwhelmed by the B21, suddenly erupted with a completely different humming sound!

Then, just as the B21 was about to strike the target area first.

The Shangxia fighter jet also directly disappeared from the radar. Before anyone could react, a shell arrived from behind and hit the target first!!

Boom!

The sea surface churned with monstrous waves!

The B21's fuselage, which had been flying at high speed, instantly froze in mid-air.

As if it had been startled!

And the Netizens were all stunned…

Because the fighter jet that reappeared was no longer its previously unremarkable appearance…

“This, am I seeing things?!”

“Is this a magic trick?”

“How did the wings become like this?”

“Is this still our fighter jet?”

Looking at the fighter jet with its drastically changed wings, futuristic and sci-fi-like streamlined wings, and blue flames jetting as it hovered in front of the B21.

The Netizens were all dumbfounded.
