89: Baidi Space Fighter Makes Maiden Flight!

New Year's Eve.

The snow in Kyoto was falling heavily.

Red Spring Couplets covered the main streets and small alleys.

Lanterns swayed in the wind and snow, casting a warm glow.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

There were still two hours until the white emperor's maiden flight.

There weren't many people on the streets of the Great Xia Country.

Everyone had returned to their homes, either in front of the television.

Or looking at their phones.

All were waiting for the 10 o'clock live broadcast of the white emperor aerospace fighter's maiden flight... Xia Academy of Sciences.

white emperor aerospace fighter Testing Ground.

In the center of the field, an aircraft covered in white canvas stood silently.

A streamlined silhouette was vaguely visible through the canvas.

Test Monitoring Center.

Besides staff members from the Xia Academy of Sciences like Lin Chen and Li Jianguo.

Two high-ranking military representatives were also present.

"Old Zhang, you're not going home today on New Year's Eve? What are you doing running over here?"

Commander Liu of the Air Force was filled with excitement and pride.

"Old Liu, look at how smug you are!" General Zhang rolled his eyes at him. "Only you can come, but I can't?"

"You can, of course you can!" Commander Liu patted General Zhang's shoulder. "In a bit, I'll let you see the Air Force's great treasure! Hehe!"

General Zhang said sourly, "Don't be smug. When the time comes, I'll apply to deploy them first in our Kyoto Military Region!"

"Old Zhang, you can't be so shameless!" Commander Li instantly grew anxious. "This is our Air Force's fighter jet. If you dare to steal it, I'll get mad at you!"

Li Jianguo, watching the two of them, shook his head and said helplessly to Lin Chen:

"Little Lin, it seems your white emperor aerospace fighter is highly sought after!"

"I heard that recently, several major Military Regions have caused quite a stir in order to be the first to equip them."

"They even organized a Grand Military Region Competition in the end!"

Lin Chen rubbed his nose and chuckled, "It shouldn't be that bad! The mass production speed of the aerospace fighter jets will be very fast; there's no need to fight over them!"

The production process and workflow for the aerospace fighter jet have been fully established.

It's all Modular Production followed by assembly.

It can even be converted into an Automated Production Line.

The production speed of Assembly Line Operations will definitely not be slow.

As long as the military fully cooperates.

Producing dozens of units a day won't be an issue.

Li Jianguo said with a smile, "They don't know that, they all want to grab the first deployment!"

Lin Chen checked the time.

It was 10 o'clock in 20 minutes.

"It's starting soon, have the Pilot prepare to board!"

"And open the Live Broadcast Room!"

"Alright!" Li Jianguo agreed, then said to General Zhang and the others, "Old Zhang, stop arguing, it's about to start!"

"It's starting?!"

General Zhang and Commander Liu immediately stopped arguing and instantly became excited.

Li Jianguo then instructed the staff to contact the Pilot to board the aircraft.

Pilot Lounge.

Luo Xiaoliang, the Air Force Ace Pilot, was nervously waiting.

He was 35 years old this year.

He was the Air Force's Ace Pilot.

A month ago, he was secretly scheduled for special Simulation Training.

At first, he didn't know the reason.

Later, after learning he was going to participate in the white emperor aerospace fighter's maiden flight.

He was so excited he hadn't slept well for several nights.

This was the glory every Pilot dreamed of.

Being able to Pilot such an advanced aerospace fighter jet for its maiden flight meant he would be recorded in Aviation History.

Luo Xiaoliang checked his Flight Gear again.

From his helmet to his Flight Suit, he didn't miss a single detail.

He deeply understood the importance of this mission.

It concerned not only his personal honor but also the development of the nation's Aviation Industry.

"Come on!"

"You can definitely do it this time!"

Luo Xiaoliang clenched his fists and cheered himself on.

To calm his nervous and excited mood.

Just then!

A knock came from outside the door.

"Pilot Luo, prepare to board!"

"Okay! Coming right away!"

Luo Xiaoliang was excited and then walked towards the Tarmac.

At the same time.

The Live Broadcast Room had already opened.

The number of viewers surged at hundreds of thousands per second.

Bullet Comments scrolled like a tide, almost obscuring the screen.

"They're here, they're here! We waited a month, and finally it's here!"

"So excited! It's finally time for the maiden flight of our white emperor aerospace fighter!"

"Our Neighborhood Property Management set up a projector directly, and now the downstairs area is packed with people!"

"Haha, watching it like this is much livelier!"

"I'm so looking forward to it! Quickly switch the camera to the white emperor aerospace fighter!"

"..."

Almost all citizens of the Great Xia Country.

Were watching this historically significant live broadcast.

Even staff members holding their posts were allowed to take a moment to watch the live stream.

This shows how important the maiden flight of the white emperor aerospace fighter is to the Great Xia Country.

This will be a glorious chapter in the Great Xia Country's aviation history.

Symbolizing a dual leap in national scientific strength and military power.

As the camera slowly zoomed in.

The layer of white canvas covering the white emperor aerospace fighter was carefully removed by the staff.

The white emperor aerospace fighter finally revealed its full appearance.

The entire scene instantly fell silent.

The next second.

The Bullet Comments in the Live Broadcast Room exploded!

"Holy sh*t! That look! It's so handsome it hits me right in the heart!"

"This Streamlined Fuselage is more sci-fi than what you see in movies!"

"The silver-gray casing, reflecting a cold light in the snowy glare, is too cool!"

"Haha! The Eagle's big iron barrel is trash compared to our 'white emperor' fighter jet!"

"..."

The excitement of the audience in front of the live screen was practically spilling out.

They all wished they could pass through the screen and watch it live on site.

On the Tarmac!

The white emperor aerospace fighter was about 20 meters long.

The fuselage was a smooth, streamlined shape, lacking traditional wings, having only slightly raised Deflectors on both sides.

The nose was sharp, like a knife cutting through the air.

There was no jet nozzle at the tail, only an Energy Panel flashing blue light.

The most incredible part was the side of the fuselage.

On one side were the red characters "Great Xia."

Accompanied by golden Dragon Patterns, they were particularly striking against the silver-gray background.

On the other side was white emperor No. 1.

Those large black characters seemed to carry an unparalleled dominance.

Highlighting the unique identity of this fighter jet.

Luo Xiaoliang had arrived beside the fighter jet.

He looked up at this highly anticipated aerospace fighter jet.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen it.

His heart was still surging with excitement.

Without hesitation.

Luo Xiaoliang boarded the aircraft immediately.

And then closed the hatch.

Testing Center.

The other Engineers began to get busy.

Only General Zhang and Commander Liu stood with their mouths agape, watching the white emperor aerospace fighter with shock.

After a moment.

They finally snapped back to reality.

They swallowed their saliva, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Incredible!"

"This fighter jet is even more sci-fi than those in science fiction movies!"

Commander Liu spoke first, his voice full of excitement and agitation.

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a model!"

General Zhang was full of emotion.

The fighter jet before him.

Was the most stunning and advanced he had ever seen in his life, bar none.

"Chief Designer Lin, could you introduce the performance specifications of this fighter jet?"

General Zhang turned his head, looking at Lin Chen with anticipation.

Lin Chen smiled, but did not directly respond:

"General Zhang, the maiden flight is about to start. I'll introduce it to you later!"

"Alright!" General Zhang did not press further.

He continued to look at the white emperor fighter jet on the Tarmac.

Aboard the 'white emperor' fighter jet!

Pilot Luo Xiaoliang had already initiated the fighter jet's self-check procedure according to the Operation Manual.

The 'white emperor' quickly completed its self-check.

"Command Center, the white emperor self-check is complete!"

"Requesting takeoff!"

"Permission granted for takeoff!"

"Roger!"

Upon receiving the command, Luo Xiaoliang immediately pressed the Takeoff Button.

[Takeoff Countdown Begins]

"Ten-second countdown!"

"10! 9! 8..."
