47: Ignition, Mach 8 rings!

“This guy is too arrogant, isn't he? All-rounder? If you're really an all-rounder, why don't you just build a manned rocket and demonstrate it live for us?”

“I just love how the Streamer is like, 'Others can't stand me, but they can't get rid of me.'”

“Hahaha, I originally thought the Streamer was really amazing, but it turns out he's just bragging. Solid fuel technology, payload technology, all of it. I'll wait to see how he gets slapped in the face.”

“Even though I know the Streamer is showing off, why do I feel like he can actually do it?”

“Speaking of which, did he really build this rocket model independently in just a few days? Even I, a graduate of a design institute, wouldn't be confident in finalizing the production drawings in two or three days.”

Regarding Su Yu's words just now, most people, both on-site and in the program's broadcast room, scoffed at them.

Even the professors from various universities and aerospace engineers on the judging panel couldn't help but frown slightly.

This Young man is too arrogant!

It's fine for a Young man to be confident, but you need a basis for that confidence.

According to the information submitted by the organizing committee, this Young man named Su Yu is not from Qingbei University, but a Streamer on an online platform.

It's not that they look down on Streamers.

The main thing is that, in his introduction to specialized rocket technology just now, this Young man almost in one breath mentioned all the technologies that the previous teams had researched combined.

If he had only mentioned one or two, they might have believed him, but saying all of them made it truly hard to believe.

However, even though most people didn't believe Su Yu's words, a group of loyal fans in his live stream still firmly believed that their Streamer could create a miracle.

Led by Fan, the head of the 'Imperial Army,' they launched a counterattack in the bullet comments!

“Who said the Streamer was bragging? Hasn't the Streamer created enough miracles already?”

“Exactly, exactly! If he didn't have confidence, would the Streamer say something like that? You can figure that out if you use your brain!”

“Anyone can brag, but the key is that the Streamer will also perform a practical demonstration later. If he really can't do it, wouldn't that be hitting himself in the face?”

“So I believe the Streamer can definitely do what he says! If you don't believe me, let's wait and see.”

In the live stream, gifts flooded the screen, and the popularity value surged by hundreds of thousands in just a few minutes! It instantly climbed into the top 100 of the Kuaishou (Short Video Platform) live stream rankings.

Su Yu looked at the surging popularity and breathed a sigh of relief.

Without any surprises, today's SSS-level reward should be secured.

In fact, he could have completely avoided that controversial introduction just now. Once the rocket model was launched, the audience would naturally see all the technical demonstrations.

However, to stir up some animosity and prepare for future highlights, Su Yu still uttered those boastful words.

Sorry, it wasn't that he wanted to show off; it was all for the system mission!!

“Alright, Host. Our team's specialized rocket model technology introduction is complete, and we are ready for launch at any time.”

Seeing that the timing was right, Su Yu slowly spoke to the Host.

Others' introductions were done in a minute: fast, concise, and to the point.

His introduction, however, took a full five minutes, also fast, concise, and to the point. The only difference was that there was too much to explain clearly!

This also led to the contestants from the neighboring Ace Pilot Program Group waiting anxiously, like Ant on a hot pan.

Their model aircraft takeoff time was regulated by the launch time of Su Yu's rocket model.

As soon as the countdown and ignition began there, their model aircraft could start gliding and accelerating on the runway.

The Host heard this and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Finally, the introduction was complete!

If Su Yu continued to introduce like this, there would be nothing left for him to do later.

Immediately, the Host picked up the microphone and, without further delay, announced that the rocket ignition was entering its countdown.

At the same time.

The ten most advanced model aircraft from the Ace Pilot Program Group had all completed their startup simultaneously. The ten fighter model aircraft, like arrows released from a bowstring, instantly rushed off the runway!

The highly anticipated demonstration had finally begun!!

...“Five”

“Four”

“Three”

“Two”

“One”

As the final sound of the countdown fell, Su Yu, who had retreated fifty meters away, pressed the ignition button in his hand.

Only at this moment.

The staff of the program group on site finally understood why Su Yu had chosen to place the rocket model in a corner of the field, far from other contestants.

Because the impact force generated at the moment of ignition of the “Dongfeng Rocket Genesis” was completely on a different level from other rocket models!

To propel a three-hundred-plus-pound iron lump hundreds, or even thousands, of meters into the sky, the rocket model solid fuel he had specially made also played its due role at this moment.

A deafening roar was heard!

At the original location of the rocket, a huge mushroom cloud rose, and as smoke and dust filled the air, even the ground experienced a slight tremor!

“Holy cow, what a commotion! I'm in Chongqing and the tremor is strong!”

“My goodness, if you didn't say this was a model competition, I would really think it was a live rocket launch!”

“No, I'm reporting the program group! There's a real thing mixed into the competition! It's outrageous!”

“You don't feel it as strongly watching the broadcast, but I'm here live, and the sound of the rocket launch almost made me deaf!!”

“+1, I'm also a live audience member, cough cough cough cough, with all this smoke, I can barely keep my eyes open!”

“Look quickly! What are those small white dots in the blue-red flame injectioning from the rocket's tail?”

“Huh, I think I saw them too. What are those white dots?”

Not far away, the professors and mentors on the judging panel, still recovering from the roar of the rocket ignition, also saw the small dots in the blue flame through the camera.

In an instant, everyone couldn't sit still.

A group of old men in their fifties and sixties suddenly stood up from their seats, their cloudy eyes filled with disbelief!

Perhaps others didn't understand what the eight small dots behind the flame jet meant.

But they knew!

Those were Mach rings! Mach rings that could only be seen on supersonic fighter jets and real aerospace rockets!!

“One, two, three, four, five, six... seven... eight...”

“Eight... It's really eight!!”

“Eight Mach rings!”

The fifty-something-year-old aerospace research engineer, whose hair was already gray, now spoke with trembling hands and a stammer.

When he looked again, his eyes were already glistening with tears.

It was unclear whether he was excited or moved.

“Genius! Truly a genius!!!”
