41: Responses from Port-Owned Companies and Shell Companies

“Three hundred and fifty meters of taxiing!”

As the observer reported the distance of three hundred and fifty meters, the domestically produced large passenger aircraft took off directly from the ground amidst a crowd of stunned gazes.

“Oh my god, oh my god!”

“The large passenger aircraft only taxied for three hundred and fifty meters before taking off?”

“Forceful flight of a brick was indeed not wrong, this is too terrifying.”

“If this engine were installed on a bomber, wouldn’t our bombers be able to take off directly from an aircraft carrier!!!”

“I think it’s feasible.”

…Everyone in the live stream swallowed their saliva.

With the takeoff of the domestically produced large passenger aircraft, Yuanhang-2 immediately topped the trending search list.

At this moment, a famous female celebrity looked at her phone with her mouth slightly agape; the number one trending spot she had spent five million to get, was bumped off by this Yuanhang-2 thing before it had even been up for a minute.

“Damn it, who dares to snatch the number one trending spot from me.”

The female celebrity was about to start cursing, but after clicking to see what Yuanhang-2 was, she immediately dismissed the thought, exclaiming, “Can’t mess with it, can’t mess with it!”

At the same time, Shell Corporation, one of the two largest passenger aircraft manufacturers on The Entire Blue Star, took notice.

Originally, Shell Corporation was not at all worried about China developing its own domestically produced large passenger aircraft.

After all, Japan, which had a good life, also announced the development of its own large passenger aircraft, and the final result was that after losing nearly a hundred billion, it got nothing.

Therefore, Shell Corporation thought that for China, with its weak foundation in the aviation field, to build its own domestically produced large passenger aircraft was simply a pipe dream.

They hadn't paid it any mind, but unexpectedly, only a few years had passed, and China had not only not failed, but had instead built a remarkably excellent large passenger aircraft.

Upon seeing the Yuanhang-2 Engine with a thrust of up to seventy tons, Matthew, the chairman of Shell Corporation, immediately widened his eyes and stood up.

“Quickly arrange a flight.” Matthew, trembling all over, pointed at his secretary, “I need to go to China, quickly, quickly!”

Matthew felt that Shell Corporation’s chance to surpass the Boeing Company, supported by the US, had arrived.

If he could get his company's passenger aircraft equipped with the Yuanhang-2 Engine produced in China, he would definitely be able to firmly suppress the Boeing Company in the future.

While Matthew was anxiously urging his secretary to arrange a flight to China, the chairman of the Boeing Company directly threw the report on China's large passenger aircraft test flight, submitted by his subordinate, into the trash can.

The chairman of the Boeing Company said to his secretary with disdain, “Don’t bring me any more reports about China’s large passenger aircraft in the future. How could a place like China possibly build a large passenger aircraft? What a joke!”

“Understood, Chairman.”

The secretary nodded, seeing that his boss had said so.

The chairman of the Boeing Company never expected that due to his arrogance and overconfidence, the market value of the Boeing Company would later be cut in half, and the US’s share of the passenger aircraft market would be largely divided between China and Shell Corporation.

Above Rong City, the domestically produced large passenger aircraft was performing various extreme flight maneuvers.

Under the powerful output of the Yuanhang-2, the domestically produced large passenger aircraft performed exceptionally well.

“Old Li, now we two can finally get some good rest.”

Academician Qian looked up at the domestically produced large passenger aircraft, soaring like a free-flying eagle, his face filled with joy and relief.

“Yes, we can finally get some good rest.”

“We finally lived up to the expectations of the country and the people!”

Academician Li Bing nodded with a smile.

Capital.

A secretary, holding documents and with a beaming smile, arrived at China's Top Leader’s office. “Chief, we just received news that the domestically produced large passenger aircraft’s maiden flight was successful.”

“Excellent!”

Hearing that the domestically produced large passenger aircraft’s maiden flight was successful, China's Top Leader excitedly waved his fist.

“Facing our excellent large passenger aircraft.”

“Now Shell Corporation and the Boeing Company probably can’t sit still, can they?”

China's Top Leader thought about how to make good use of these two companies in the future to obtain airworthiness certificates for the domestically produced large passenger aircraft across The Entire Blue Star.

Only with an airworthiness certificate can large passenger aircraft produced in China fly over other countries. Without an airworthiness certificate, no matter how excellent your large passenger aircraft is, other countries will not allow you to enter their airspace.

“Chief, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received news that Matthew, the chairman of Shell Corporation, is applying for entry. They must be eager to come.”

“But the Boeing Company from the US has made no move at all.”

The secretary said.

“Oh, that’s very much in line with the US’s style.”

“Then let’s not worry about the US for now. Getting the airworthiness certificate from Europe is also good.”

China's Top Leader nodded, saying that they would start with Europe, let all airlines on The Entire Blue Star know about the excellence of the domestically produced large passenger aircraft, and then expand the market step by step.

At that time, those US businessmen would actively seek them out.

“By the way, also inform Du Youguo and the others that the safety of Comrade Zhang Yuanhang must be guaranteed.”

“Foreign powers must never be allowed to threaten Comrade Zhang Yuanhang’s life.”

Now that Zhang Yuanhang’s identity had been announced, China's Top Leader felt that it was necessary to further strengthen the security around Zhang Yuanhang, based on the existing measures.

“Yes, Chief!”

The secretary nodded.

At this moment, Shancheng.

The leadership of Shancheng University of Science and Technology was in an uproar.

After all this time, they finally discovered that one of this year’s Hua Xia Medal recipients was a student from their university.

“Gulp!”

Principal Chu looked at the screenshot the school teacher had just sent him and the previously announced list of Hua Xia Medal recipients, and swallowed his saliva.

He never expected that Zhang Yuanhang, who was previously protected by soldiers to complete his graduation procedures, had actually invented an engine that crushed The Entire Blue Star.

“Principal, what should we do next?”

The other leaders of the university had endless smiles in their eyes. Who could have imagined that such an extraordinary person would come out of their university!!!

“Everyone, Comrade Zhang Yuanhang is the pride of our Shancheng University of Science and Technology!”

“He is the first person from our Shancheng University of Science and Technology—no, it should be the first person from all universities in Shancheng—to receive the Hua Xia Medal. We must publicize this well.”

Principal Chu’s eyes gleamed with a hint of cunning. It wouldn’t be long until enrollment season.

They could completely use Zhang Yuanhang to attract excellent students to Shancheng University of Science and Technology.

“That’s right, we must publicize it well.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Principal, why don’t we allocate a million yuan to publicize it throughout Shancheng.”

“That’s a good suggestion.”

...Everyone understood that this was their chance for Shancheng University of Science and Technology to become the leader among all universities in Shancheng. Once seized, Shancheng University of Science and Technology would become an insurmountable mountain in Shancheng’s education sector.

“No, no.” Principal Chu waved his hand, “Directly allocate ten million yuan, with both online and offline publicity. I want Everyone in China to know that Comrade Zhang Yuanhang graduated from our university!”

Principal Chu was not just thinking of becoming the top university in Shancheng; he also wanted Shancheng University of Science and Technology to become one of the top universities in China.

Everyone looked at Principal Chu with admiration. A leader is a leader; his courage and ambition are truly great!
