49: Chapter 49 The world was shocked: the UFO was actually made in China.

"Oh my God! It really is the Dragon Kingdom! That aircraft belongs to the Dragon Kingdom!"

"How is this possible?! When did human technology reach such a level?"

"Is this the Dragon Kingdom's sixth-generation fighter jet? This is clearly an interstellar warship! It's a Star Destroyer!"

"The Eagle Sauce's satellites are like paper in front of it, completely vulnerable!"

Global social media was completely ignited at this moment!

Countless netizens were frantically sharing that live stream video of the "Zhulong" playing "whack-a-mole" in space.

In the video, that dark golden "Divine Dragon" soared through space with a maneuverability that exceeded the limits of human imagination.

It would occasionally turn into a streak of light, instantly accelerating to sub-light speed, smashing a military satellite into cosmic dust.

At other times, it would perform an inconceivable sharp turn in space, using its wings to deftly "slice off" another satellite's solar panel, turning it into scrap metal.

The entire process was full of mockery and playfulness.

It was as if it wasn't conducting a fierce space war, but rather performing a magnificent and deadly aerial ballet!

Countless military experts and aerospace scholars fell into deep self-doubt after seeing this video.

"Fake! This must be CGI! It's computer special effects!"

A famous physicist from MIT was screaming hysterically on a TV show.

"It violates the conservation of energy! It violates Newton's third law! This kind of aircraft simply cannot exist!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking.

In the live broadcast, to dodge a piece of satellite debris hurtling toward it, the "Zhulong" actually performed an instantaneous stationary hover in the vacuum of space!

Without any recoil, without any inertia!

It just stopped abruptly in the pitch-black universe!

As if time had been pressed with a pause button on it!

The physicist watched this scene, his eyes wide, mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

The next second, he rolled his eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.

His worldview had completely collapsed!

And at this moment, no one was more devastated than Eagle Sauce.

The White House, the Oval Office.

"Bang!"

The newly inaugurated Eagle Sauce president, a representative of the hawkish faction known for his tough stance, slammed his fist hard onto the desk.

He stared fixedly at the "Zhulong" on the screen that was "slaughtering" Eagle Sauce's satellites in space, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a madman!

"Disgrace! This is the greatest disgrace since the founding of our Eagle Sauce!"

"Our space assets, the 'Sky Eye' system we spent trillions of dollars to build, were just knocked out one by one as if they were toys?!"

"Who can tell me! What exactly is going on?! Where did the Dragon Kingdom people get this kind of alien technology?!"

At his feet was the former president who had been impeached by Congress and had stepped down in disgrace.

And he was the "hope," entrusted with a mission at a critical moment with the support of Wall Street, attempting to revive the prestige of Eagle Sauce.

But on his first day in office, he received such an "extraordinary gift" that he would never forget!

"Mr. President..."

The Secretary of Defense turned pale, his voice trembling as he said:

"Our North American Aerospace Defense Command has been completely paralyzed."

"Having lost our satellite network, our global military deployment has become blind."

"The most terrifying thing is, we don't even know where the enemy is."

The National Security Advisor looked even more ashen.

"Mr. President, we just received news that the Dragon Kingdom officials have admitted it."

"They said that the UFO is their independently developed sixth-generation aerospace fighter, codenamed 'Zhulong'."

"And, they also 'kindly' reminded us that only one 'Zhulong' has been deployed so far."

"And at their Xichang base, there is still an entire formation."

"Pfft!"

The new president followed in the footsteps of the former defense commander, spraying out a mouthful of blood as well!

Only one deployed?

And there's a whole formation?!

How is this still playable?!

How is this war still fought?!

Surrender!

Just surrender!

At this moment, a deep, unprecedented despair surged in the hearts of all Eagle Sauce's high-ranking officials!

They finally understood.

The gap between them and the Dragon Kingdom was no longer a matter of technological generation gaps.

This was a crushing of civilization levels!

Meanwhile, the domestic scene in the Dragon Kingdom was an ocean of jubilation!

"Dragon Kingdom is awesome! God Lin is awesome!"

"Too cool! This is our Dragon Kingdom's Divine Dragon! Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Before, it was Eagle Sauce's satellites circling above our heads every day; now it's our turn to freely navigate in their backyard!"

"Wuwuwu, I'm crying! I'm proud of my motherland!"

Countless citizens spontaneously poured into the streets, waving national flags and singing the national anthem.

That heart-stirring scene was even more lively than the New Year!

And at the Xichang Command Center.

General Li Zhenguo and the group of military bigwigs were completely numb as they watched Lei Zhan perform various "tricks" with the "Zhulong" on the screen in space.

Their faces were left with only a silly, dazed smile.

"Xiao Zhang, give that kid Lei Zhan a First-Class Merit!"

"No! A Special-Class Merit!"

"This kid has really brought honor to our Dragon Kingdom Air Force!"

General Li Zhenguo shouted, pounding the table excitedly.

And Lin Yun, amidst this global frenzy, quietly made a phone call.

On the other end of the line was his father-in-law, Qin Zihan's father, Dean Qin of the Dragon Kingdom Academy of Sciences.

"Father-in-law, are you satisfied with the performance of the 'Zhulong'?"

Lin Yun asked with a smile.

On the other end of the phone came Dean Qin's voice, equally excited but with a hint of a wry smile.

"Satisfied? I am simply over-shocked!"

"You kid, you're always like this, quietly creating a massive piece of news that could pierce the sky!"

"The old folks at our Academy of Sciences are going crazy now, all crying and shouting that they want to come be your students!"

"By the way, about that 'school' you mentioned you wanted to build for the children, how is your consideration coming along?"

Dean Qin changed the subject, mentioning the issue that had been quite "troublesome" for Lin Yun recently.

Lin Yun's gaze became profound.

He looked at the "Zhulong" soaring freely in the universe on the screen and said slowly:

"Regarding the school, I already have some preliminary ideas."

"However, before building the school, perhaps we should first consider the 'location' of the school."

"What do you mean?" Dean Qin asked, somewhat puzzled.

A mysterious smile curled at the corners of Lin Yun's mouth, his gaze piercing through the screen, as if he saw that unknown which was even more vast than the starry sky.

"How about we build the school on the Moon?"

"Or, Mars?"

"Or, when our 'Zhulong' formation grows larger, we can go directly to the edge of the solar system, capture an asteroid, and transform it into a one-of-a-kind 'Sky City'?"
