51: With it, space carriers will no longer be a dream!

When the shocking and unbelievable words from heavenly craft, “We have created the 'Dragon Bone',” clearly echoed in Lu Chen's ears.

Even Lu Chen, an “overpowered” player accustomed to all sorts of “black tech.”

Couldn't help but draw a deep, cold breath at that moment!

“Dragon Bone...”

He softly recited this name, which was steeped in Eastern mythology.

His eyes shone with an unprecedented, blazing light!

He knew.

Starting today.

He finally held an ultimate trump card capable of changing the future landscape of warfare!

“heavenly craft.”

He forcibly suppressed the tumultuous excitement surging within his heart!

His voice became extremely solemn!

“Immediately send all simulated test data for the 'Dragon Bone' alloy to Director Long and the Old General, marked with the highest level of confidentiality!”

“Furthermore...”

He paused, a curve filled with ambition and madness hooking up the corners of his mouth!

“Help me schedule a meeting with the two of them for tomorrow morning.”

“Just tell them...”

“I have a small ‘toy’ I'd like them to take a look at.”

[Yes, Master.]

...The next day.

Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, No. 1 Multi-Function Lecture Hall.

But this time, the hall was not packed.

There were only three people.

Lu Chen.

Long Weiguo.

And the supreme head of the Military Equipment Department, who had rushed over overnight from the capital via special plane—

Ye Qingcang!

These two super magnates, who usually commanded immense prestige and governed Xia Country's violence and technology!

Were now sitting like two humble elementary school students.

Sitting upright and respectfully.

Watching the young man standing at the center of the chairman's stand with nervous anticipation.

In front of them lay a thick performance testing report for the "Dragon Bone" alloy, printed overnight by heavenly craft!

Every page of the report!

Every unbelievable and terrifying data point in the report!

Was like a thousand-ton sledgehammer!

Slamming heavily onto their hearts, which were already numb with shock!

“Tensile strength, 60 GPa?!”

Ye Qingcang's cloudy old eyes were bloodshot!

He clearly hadn't slept all night!

Pointing at the terrifying number in the report—a number that would make all material scientists worldwide collectively die of shame—his voice trembled!

“Kid! Do you know what concept this represents?!”

“The turbine blades used in our Xia Country's most advanced 'Taihang' engine utilize the world's most cutting-edge single-crystal superalloy!”

“Its tensile strength barely reaches 1.5 GPa!”

“Your 'Dragon Bone' is... forty times that!”

“Forty times!”

“If we used this damn thing to build an engine...”

“Then wouldn't our sixth, seventh, or even tenth generation spaceborne fighters...”

“Just take off immediately?!”

He was so excited his face was flushed!

He wished he could hug Lu Chen right there and give him a couple of big kisses!

Long Weiguo, on the other hand, was relatively calmer.

He was focused on another data point that made him even more chilled to the bone!

“Radar absorption rate, 99.99%?”

He looked at Lu Chen's placid face and asked in a dry voice:

“Is... is this true?”

“This means...”

“As long as this alloy is used to manufacture the outer shell of a fighter jet...”

“Then it will be completely... in front of all radars worldwide...”

“Invisible?!”

“That's right.”

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

As if he were merely stating a trivial matter.

But this simple nod of his.

Caused the two super magnates present to simultaneously suck in a breath of cold air!

They exchanged glances.

And saw overwhelming shock and... ecstasy in each other's eyes!

They knew.

The shape of warfare.

Would be completely rewritten starting today!

The future ruler of the skies!

Will no longer be the Western Alliance's “Raptor” or “Lightning”!

But Xia Country's... invisible... ghost, clad in “Dragon Bone”!

“Good! Good! This is wonderful!”

Ye Qingcang slammed the table!

He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes!

“With this!”

“Why the hell would we be afraid of the Western Alliance's technological blockade?!”

“Who needs a sixth-generation fighter jet?!”

“We'll skip ahead! We'll just build a Spaceborne Aircraft Carrier!”

He spoke with soaring ambition!

But the next second.

He instantly deflated, like a punctured ball.

He sighed with a look of dejection.

“Alas.”

“What a pity...”

“A Spaceborne Aircraft Carrier doesn't just need a sturdy shell.”

“It also requires a super... heart... powerful enough to push that several hundred thousand ton steel behemoth away from Earth's gravity!”

“Super... heart!”

“And the thrust of our current most powerful 'Long March 9' rocket engine is only a meager few hundred tons...”

“That's simply a drop in the bucket.”

His voice was filled with the helplessness and regret of a fading hero.

However... just then.

Lu Chen's calm voice, as if untouched by the mundane world, slowly sounded out.

“Who said... we don't have one?”

“Huh?”

Ye Qingcang and Long Weiguo froze simultaneously!

They abruptly raised their heads to look at the calm young man!

Lu Chen slowly walked to the center of the chairman's stand.

He extended a finger and lightly tapped the control panel of the holographic projector.

The next second!

The 3D model of the “Dragon Bone” alloy, full of violent aesthetics, instantly vanished.

Replacing it was a complex engine blueprint, filled with a sense of science fiction and mystery, that they had never seen before!

Its exterior was no longer the traditional cylindrical shape!

Instead, it was a spindle shape full of streamlined beauty!

Its internal structure completely overturned all existing engine theory!

There was no combustion chamber!

No turbine!

And no nozzle!

All it contained was a complex energy core, composed of countless mysterious energy coils and force field generators!

“This is...”

Ye Qingcang pointed at the blueprint—a design he couldn't even understand a single component of—his voice shaking!

“What kind of... engine is this?!”

“Oh, this.”

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

“This is just a little gadget I sketched out last night when I was bored.”

“A small 'Anti-Gravity'... engine that perfectly matches the 'Dragon Bone' alloy.”

“A small, 'Anti-Gravity'...”

“engine.”

“As for its theoretical maximum thrust...”

He looked at the two completely petrified magnates and held up a single finger.

He said in a light, breezy tone:

“Roughly...”

“About a million tons.”
