54: Chapter 54 Major Good News! The Southern Heavenly Gate Project Achieves Breakthrough Progress!

After hearing the report from the Space Administration, the entire room fell silent.

All the leaders furrowed their brows, contemplating countermeasures.

After a while, General Yun Feijie spoke first, asking, "Can we shoot them down?"

Peng Tao replied helplessly, "Shooting down another country's satellite is equivalent to declaring war!"

General Yun Feijie slammed the table and said angrily, "Are we just going to let them launch satellites while we do nothing?!"

Peng Tao was speechless.

According to current international law and international space treaties, although Eagle Country's satellite launches in the Eastern Hemisphere are borderline behavior, they do not fundamentally violate international rules.

Furthermore, Eagle Country publicly claims that the Starlink Project is intended to improve the quality of global satellite communication network services, and that everything they are launching are communication satellites!

This is nonsense that no country would believe, yet it happens to comply with international rules!

The leader said solemnly, "So what if it is an act of war?"

"This concerns the security and national dignity of Huaxia; even if we have to fight, we will not hesitate!"

Upon hearing this, the majority of those present nodded in agreement.

At this moment, another leader said in a slightly cold tone, "Everyone, the Nantianmen Project in Huang Province is progressing rapidly, with good news coming in one after another."

"Are you sure you want to fight at this time?"

"Listen to me, the more critical the moment, the more clearly we must distinguish what is light and what is heavy!"

This leader did not explicitly say the word "forbearance," but everyone understood.

The Nantianmen Project is a scientific research project that concerns the nation's destiny, and it is currently at its most critical juncture!

Regardless of what intense reaction Eagle Country might have, it cannot affect the progress of this project!

They must serve as a strong backup!

The conference room fell into silence again.

Just then, the head leader spoke.

"Let's talk to Eagle Country first!"

The leader said calmly, "Don't forget, Comrade Lin Mo's 'dead-end plan' is also a chain plan."

The leader's words made everyone's eyes light up.

General Yun Feijie slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

"The Intelligent Behavior Adaptation System!"

The leader continued, "Eagle Country's negotiation team has approached us again, and what they currently want to exchange for is this system!"

"We might as well set conditions for Eagle Country. We can talk, but during the negotiations, Eagle Country must suspend the launch of Starlink Project satellites in the Eastern Hemisphere!"

General Yun Feijie expressed his approval, "Although it's just dragging for time, this method is already the most appropriate one!"

The leader said calmly, "What we need right now is time!"

After some discussion, the leader's decision was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

The topic of responding to the threat from Eagle Country was thus concluded.

Everyone sighed with emotion. Lin Mo had researched dozens of sub-technologies, and just two of them could serve as key national policies to resolve the crisis for Huaxia!

It is evident that cutting-edge technology is the country's most precious asset!

The meeting continued.

After studying a few other topics, the Secretary-General rushed into the conference hall and presented an urgent report from Gansu Province.

The leader only looked at the beginning, unable to hide his joy, and stood up saying.

"Everyone, great news!"

"The Nantianmen Project has made breakthrough progress!"

"What?!" Everyone was immediately shocked.

The leader said with immense joy, "The urgent report submitted by Chief Engineer Peng Yu says that the first prototype of the Aerospace Fighter was officially assembled this afternoon!"

Upon hearing this, the entire conference hall erupted in an uproar.

"Impossible! Hasn't it only been a month?!"

"It was still in the sub-unit development stage last week; how could the assembly be completed in just a few days!"

"Is the technology mature? In such a critical period, we must not be too hasty!"

The leader read the report carefully, becoming happier the more he read, but when he saw the end of the urgent report, his expression changed abruptly, and he blurted out, "How dare this guy, Lin Mo, do this!"

Hearing this, the others looked at each other.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The leader handed the report to the others.

With a grim face, he said, "This kid, Lin Mo, plans to ignite and test fly it tomorrow morning!"

"And, he wants to be the test pilot!"

What! Everyone was shocked.

"We must stop him!" Chief Designer Bai Yannian stood up immediately.

For a researcher to actually want to test fly a newly developed prototype is practically suicide!

The leader immediately made a decision.

"The meeting ends here; other topics are postponed!"

"I will go see it for myself tomorrow!"

...

Early the next morning.

The wind in Huang Province carried a chill; after the arrival of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night in the Northwest was already clearly noticeable.

According to the Blue Star Huaxia calendar, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month!

At the Qilian Satellite Launch Center, in the aerospace research base, the first prototype of the "Xuan Nu" Aerospace Fighter was quietly parked in the center of the site.

Chief Engineer Peng Yu looked excitedly at the huge prototype with a wingspan of over thirty meters, his voice trembling as he said, "We did it, Chief Designer Lin, we really did it!"

The others were equally filled with excitement.

Over the past month, everyone felt as if they were in a dream!

Every day was exceptionally fulfilling.

They didn't encounter any technical difficulties; they just needed to work with all their might to reproduce the design drawings. As they worked, they suddenly succeeded!

It wasn't until two days ago, when the fighter entered the final assembly stage and completed the final assembly in 30 hours, that everyone woke up from the dream!

They also realized that they had personally brought this dream into reality!

Lin Mo looked at everyone, who were visibly exhausted and thinner.

He said gratefully, "Everyone, you have worked hard this past month!"

"Being able to complete the final assembly of the first prototype of the Aerospace Fighter before the Mid-Autumn Festival is a credit to everyone!"

Everyone responded excitedly, "Chief Designer Lin, you are the one who worked the hardest!"

"Chief Designer Lin, if it weren't for you, all our hard work would have been in vain!"

"That's right! In my whole life, I have never participated in such a smooth scientific research project; this is all thanks to you!"

Everyone looked at Lin Mo as if they were looking at a god in the scientific research world!

Their eyes were filled with nothing but admiration!

"Alright, we are all our own people; save the flattery!"

Lin Mo said with a smile, waving his hand.

He watched Captain Liu Zhihui drag over two equipment cases and walked over to say.

"Captain Liu Zhihui, put on the armor, and I will change into a set as well."

"The Exoskeleton Armor has excellent performance and is perfect as an aerospace suit!"

"You will pilot the Aerospace Fighter and take me out for a spin."

Hearing that he could test pilot the sci-fi fighter, Captain Liu Zhihui said with an excited face, "Alright!"
