392: Chapter 391 Terrifying Magnetic Field Manipulation Ability!
Since the official dissolution of the Eagle Nation, whenever a general meeting of the Supreme Military Region was held, Commander-in-Chief Long Jianjun of the Army would propose an agenda item on behalf of the Army.
These proposals came in many different forms.
But the core was always the same.
It was a demand to equip the Army with at least 20 Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighters.
And they had to be the second-generation Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets.
They could not be the first-generation Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets phased out by the Space Force.
Long Jianjun's reasoning was simple.
Now that the Blue Planet had entered a true era of peace.
As the soul of the Dragon Army, the Army was also the premier service branch of the Chinese Dragon Army.
If it was not even equipped with China's most sophisticated weapons and equipment, what kind of look was that?
And how could it face the martyrs of the Dragon Army?
Regarding the claim that the Army was the premier service branch of the Dragon Army, General Yun Feijie of the Space Force and General Commander Shi Jinghai of the Navy naturally had objections.
But the fact that the Army was the soul of the Dragon Army was universally recognized by all Chinese military personnel.
The Chinese Dragon Army of this world had a tradition.
That was to preserve and pass on the unit designations for those special elite forces that were valiant, fearless of sacrifice, and had made great contributions.
Even if every single Dragon Army soldier in such a unit had sacrificed their lives...
From the War Against the Invaders to the War of Aid, China had inherited a total of 278 company, 92 battalion, and 35 brigade designations for elite units.
All of them were preserved within the Chinese Army.
And for every heroic unit whose designation was preserved, the casualty rate had reached over 95%...
It could be said that the existence of these unit designations was where the undying military soul of the Dragon Army resided.
Seeing that Long Jianjun had brought out the "soul of the Dragon Army," everyone else was helpless.
They unanimously agreed to the Army's agenda.
However, because the main force of the Space Force was about to head to the Asteroid Belt to carry out an important mission lasting more than half a year, and the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region had to cooperate with logistics support, this matter had been delayed again and again.
It was not until yesterday that the logistics department and the General Armament Department finally finished checking all the logistics support supplies for the Space Force's expedition to the Asteroid Belt.
Only then was Zhang Zhaozhong finished with his busy work.
It just so happened that both Long Jianjun and Zhang Zhaozhong were attending the swearing-in ceremony at noon today.
So they decided to take advantage of the morning time to complete the official handover of the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets to the Army.
...
On the ground, although the handover ceremony was brief, the number of attendees was not small.
Especially the more than eighty senior Army generals who came to attend the Xuan-Nu handover ceremony, all of whom had at least two stars on their shoulders.
On the ground, looking at the ten matte black sci-fi fighter jets parked not far away, everyone whispered to each other, their faces filled with nothing but excitement.
If it were not for the sake of appearances, they would have loved to rush over and play with them immediately.
You could not blame them. The Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet had been out for almost a whole year, and it had been nearly half a year since they upgraded from the first to the second generation.
Yet their Army had not received a single one.
Now that everyone had waited bitterly for a year, they had finally obtained this long-coveted treasure!
...
Above the sky, Lin Mo looked at the 10 brand-new second-generation Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets parked on the tarmac, and suddenly, his heart stirred.
He tried to control them with his mind.
The result was exactly as Lin Mo had imagined.
The 10 Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets easily left the ground, hovering about 20 centimeters in the air.
"It was actually this easy..."
Lin Mo was very satisfied with this result.
You had to know that a single second-generation Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter weighed 80 tons.
And controlling 10 of them was effortless for him.
Let alone reaching his limit, he probably had not even reached 10% of his capacity.
He wondered what his total mass limit for magnetic field manipulation actually was...
While Lin Mo was secretly pondering, only a few seconds later, a shrill alarm blared abruptly from inside the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets.
Even the Nantianmen Project research center started sounding air defense alarms.
"Highest alert! The Xuan-Nu is under attack by an unknown force!"
"Highest alert! The Xuan-Nu is under attack by an unknown force!"
"Highest alert! The Xuan-Nu is under attack by an unknown force!"
"..."
As the alarm sounded, the scene immediately descended into chaos.
Lin Mo was full of embarrassment and quickly set the 10 Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets down.
He had to admit that as the core technology of the system's second layer of technology, the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet indeed had technical substance.
It went off at the slightest touch, even more sensitive than a small electric scooter's alarm.
"Quick! Quick!"
"Surround the scene completely!"
"Protect the leaders on site!"
"Evacuate personnel immediately!"
"..."
On the ground, the emergency response measures of the guard troops were very rapid.
In less than 20 seconds, 300 Kunlun Armored Soldiers stationed nearby rushed over and tightly surrounded the Nantianmen Project research sub-center.
In less than a minute, 3 Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet squadrons also arrived urgently, hovering at a low altitude above the Nantianmen Project research sub-center.
Seeing this, Lin Mo was even more embarrassed.
He just wanted to try out his superpowers casually; who knew it would cause such a big scene...
However, he soon felt that being able to suddenly have such an unknown force intrusion was also a good defensive drill.
From the current perspective, both the reaction speed and the response measures were very much in place.
So he sent a text message to Long Jianjun and turned to fly towards the main office building.
On the ground, "Report to the Chief! After inspection, no abnormalities were found in the 10 Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets!"
"Report to the Chief! After inspection, no abnormalities were found inside the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet research base!"
"Report to the Chief! After inspection, no abnormalities were found in any area of the sub-center!"
"..."
Zhang Zhaozhong spoke up from the side, "Commander-in-Chief Long, what I can confirm is that these 10 newly manufactured Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets have no quality issues."
Long Jianjun frowned deeply.
After a long while, he slowly spat out a few words from his lips, "This is so unreasonable..."
"Could it be... the Three-Body Problem? ..."
Just then, his secure phone rang.
Long Jianjun quickly opened it and saw the text message sent by Lin Mo.
Long Jianjun was immediately full of helplessness.
"It was not intentional..."
"Damn it, this kid!"
"My Army finally got 10 Xuan-Nu jets, and he gives us a surprise drill."
"And he dares to say it was not intentional?"
...
Returning to the main office building, Lin Mo felt much better.
He had gone out for a stroll and had gained a further understanding of his superpowers, which naturally made him very satisfied.
Arriving at the elevator entrance, Lin Mo lowered the intensity of his biological force field, and the shielding effect on visible light was also lifted.
After deactivating his invisibility, the secretary waiting at the elevator entrance suddenly found a person standing in front of her.
She rubbed her eyes hard, looked again, and could not help but scream.
"Ah!!!"
"Chief Designer Lin!!!"
"You've finally come out!!!"
"I'll notify the Director and the others to come over immediately!!!"
"..."
In less than five minutes, a large group of people rushed over, surrounding Lin Mo.
Secretary Liu, as Lin Mo's primary secretary, was full of worry.
"Chief Designer Lin, we haven't been able to contact you for these four days..."
Lin Mo smiled and interrupted, "Didn't I come out?"
"Doing research, it's normal to forget the time."
"Let's go, let's go up and have a 10-minute short meeting. Mainly tell me what big things have happened in the last few days, and I'll hurry up and deal with them."
Secretary Liu just wanted to speak, but he sensitively noticed that the Lin Mo in front of him was very different from before.
Mainly... he was taller!
His own height was less than 1.7 meters, and he used to have some difficulty talking to Lin Mo, but now, he actually had to tilt his head up to talk to Lin Mo normally!
