137: Chapter 137 Gentlemen, listen to the dragon's roar!

Although they knew of the existence of the Underground Research Institute.

However, due to the need for secrecy, the regular employees had no idea what was actually being researched inside.

That is why they were so surprised when the H-20 appeared on the roads of Xu's Heavy Industry.

"Could this aircraft be what the Underground Research Institute created?"

The young employee blinked, asking with great curiosity.

"Likely!"

An employee nodded and replied.

Shortly after.

The corridors, dormitory buildings, workshop fences, and other areas were all crowded with employees.

Seeing this, the workshop directors and supervisors did not intervene, allowing everyone to watch to their heart's content.

And those employees gathered together were all whispering among themselves.

"To be honest, this aircraft is really huge!"

"What model of aircraft is this? How come I've never seen it before? Is it the legendary 'Sixth Master'?"

"Nonsense! This isn't the 'Sixth Master' at all. This is clearly our Dragon Country's latest generation fighter jet!"

"Latest fighter jet? Looking at its appearance, could it be the legendary H-20?"

"Judging by the looks of this big guy, it's nine times out of ten!"

"Holy crap! The Dragon Country's latest generation bomber was actually developed by our Xu's Heavy Industry?!"

The employees were incomparably shocked.

This was the latest generation of bomber!

It wasn't just impressive; it was absolutely super, invincible, and mind-blowing!!

They didn't expect that such an awesome bomber was also developed by Xu's Heavy Industry.

For a moment, they were incredibly happy and felt very proud.

In the future, whenever someone asked, 'Where do you work?'

They could proudly say: Xu's Heavy Industry! It's the Xu's Heavy Industry that built the A-225 Military Transport Aircraft and developed the Dragon Country's latest stealth bomber!

Saying that would be so prestigious!!

An employee spoke up to remind everyone:

"Everyone, don't leak this earth-shattering news! You'll get arrested for that."

"Our factory has had precedents; don't do anything stupid!!"

Hearing this, other employees affirmed one after another:

"This is a state secret. I won't say a word even if I die. Whoever leaks it is a puppy."

"Exactly, only those careless people would talk about it outside."

"It's not that we can't talk about it; once the official announcement is made, we can talk about it."

"..."

While the employees were discussing, the H-20 stealth bomber had already been towed to the military airport runway.

At the airport.

Xu Hao walked up to the two pilots.

One was Colonel Su, a pilot from the military region stationed here, and the other, naturally, was Zhu Deze.

Xu Hao stood in front of the two, his face very serious.

"Minister Zhu, Colonel Su!"

Xu Hao called out, and both immediately stood at attention.

"You must prioritize safety!"

"If you discover any malfunction with the aircraft, do not hesitate—eject immediately."

"Do you understand?"

Xu Hao looked at Zhu Deze, then at Colonel Su.

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The two replied in unison.

"I'll wait for your safe landing!"

Xu Hao patted both their shoulders and then returned to the control tower.

Zhu Deze and Colonel Su looked at each other, then picked up their pilot helmets and walked to the cockpit of the H-20.

"Minister Zhu, you've snatched the piloting rights from my subordinate!"

Before takeoff, Colonel Su joked with Zhu Deze.

"Haha, Colonel Su, you're joking. In the affairs of scholars, how can you call it snatching?"

"I call this striving hard; I earned it through my own ability!"

"Colonel Su, don't slander me!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Zhu Deze's face.

"Hahaha... Minister Zhu, you certainly love to joke!"

"Come! Let's wish for a successful flight!"

Colonel Su gave a firm high-five to Zhu Deze, then both put on their helmets, closed the cockpit door, and prepared for takeoff.

"Control tower, control tower! Pilots are ready, requesting takeoff!"

Colonel Su said into the radio.

Hearing this, Xu Hao gave the order:

"Control tower received, you are cleared for takeoff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Colonel Su started the H-20.

"Roar!!"

Instantly, the four LG-Turbofan Engines emitted a low yet explosive roar, like a cheetah coiled and ready to spring.

The powerful engines formed a transparent heat shimmer, as if burning the air.

Afterwards.

The H-20 released its wheels and slowly slid along the runway.

With a shriek that tore through the sky, this ghost-like stealth bomber rose from the ground, soaring like an eagle into the blue sky.

"It's taken off!"

On the viewing stand, applause and cheers erupted like a tidal wave.

In the Xu's Heavy Industry area, thousands of employees spontaneously applauded, the rhythmic and intense applause sounding as if it would shake the entire sky.

Hysterical shouts seemed to pierce the clouds, sending blessings to the H-20!

"Gentlemen, listen to the Dragon's Roar!!"

Someone on the viewing stand shouted, bringing the atmosphere of the entire stand to an unprecedented climax.

Decades of wind and rain, the heroic resistance of countless predecessors, and the hard work of so many researchers.

Now.

At the moment the H-20, like a blue phoenix, soared into the blue sky.

Everything received the best reward!

Dragon Country!

Possesses its own 6th Generation Stealth Bomber!!

The roar of the H-20 echoed in the high altitude for a long time, and the atmosphere at the scene could not calm down for a long time.

Watching the sky pierced by the H-20, everyone's mood was extremely excited.

Especially the researchers on the viewing stand; some stared at the fading figure of the H-20 for a long time, their eyes blurred with tears.

Others raised their arms and cheered, joy written all over their faces.

Blue sky, white clouds, and the H-20 formed the most beautiful scenery in the sky!

At this moment, Xu Hao, who witnessed the H-20 take off with his own eyes in the control tower, was equally excited.

Watching the gradually shrinking H-20 disappear into the high altitude, making it undetectable by ground radar.

Xu Hao knew they had succeeded!

The voice of Zhu Deze came over the radio.

"H-20 flight is normal, currently climbing."

"Climbing altitude 500 meters, 1000 meters, 2000 meters, 8000 meters, 10000 meters, 15000..."

As the H-20 continued to climb, the flight altitude had reached 15,000 meters!

"Maintain this altitude and begin cruising!" Xu Hao said to Zhu Deze and Colonel Su.

"Received!" Colonel Su replied. "Program adjustment, switching to automatic cruise!"

"Fuel-saving mode activated!"

"Control tower, control tower, H-20 flight is normal, all programs and systems are running normally!"

"Fire control system is running normally!"

"Power system is running normally!"

"Radar display is running normally!"

"..."

Zhu Deze reported.

With each 'normal' transmitted back from the H-20, Xu Hao let out a long sigh of relief.

With the flight test reaching this point, it could already be declared that the H-20 test was a perfect success.

Professor Shen Hongcai and the others also breathed a sigh of relief; on their wrinkled faces, there was an uncontrollable smile.

Xu Hao picked up the microphone and said to Colonel Su and Zhu Deze:

"Control tower received!"

"The H-20 is in your hands. Test it ruthlessly and squeeze out all its performance!"
