55: Chapter 55 If he doesn't come soon, Lin Mo will really go to heaven!

As the commander of the special forces brigade of the Supreme Military Region,

the king among soldier kings,

he was naturally highly proficient in piloting fighter jets.

Captain Liu Zhihui wasn't the slightest bit worried about safety.

As Chief Designer Lin's head of security, having been constantly exposed to his presence,

he had now,

developed a blind trust in Chief Designer Lin.

If Chief Designer Lin said it was possible, then it absolutely was possible!

However, when the others heard Chief Designer Lin's words,

their expressions changed drastically!

Chief Engineer Peng Yu hurried forward, stopping Chief Designer Lin and saying, 'Chief Designer Lin, you absolutely cannot conduct the test flight yourself!'

Ye Xiangtian also quickly spoke up to dissuade him, 'Chief Designer Lin, this prototype has just completed final assembly and hasn't undergone any inspections yet. You absolutely must not get in it yourself!'

Other senior project members also came over to stop him.

'That's right, Chief Designer Lin, it's too dangerous!'

'Let a professional test pilot go, Chief Designer Lin!'

'...'

Although Chief Designer Lin had mentioned several times yesterday that he wanted to pilot the fighter himself, everyone took it as a joke, with few taking it seriously.

Now, seeing that Chief Designer Lin was actually serious and about to do it for real, they were scared out of their wits!

'Why aren't they here yet?!' Chief Engineer Peng Yu pleaded anxiously while looking outside the base.

Having followed Chief Designer Lin every day,

he had already anticipated this exact scenario last night.

Because whatever Chief Designer Lin said, no matter how outrageous, he would definitely do it!

Therefore, last night, he used his authority to send a special report to the Supreme Military Region.

'What's there to be afraid of? I assembled this Aerospace Fighter myself, don't I know it best?'

Chief Designer Lin said with a smile as he put on the Exoskeleton Armor. 'Moreover, even if I let you all inspect it, do you know how to inspect it?'

Over the past two days,

while assembling the Aerospace Fighter according to the system's guidance,

he had also conducted detailed checks on every component,

confirming that there were no errors whatsoever.

With the system's assistance, it was far more reliable than any inspection by anyone else!

Furthermore,

Chief Designer Lin had a compelling reason to conduct the test flight himself. He feared that if he didn't personally operate the Aerospace Fighter at least once, the subsequent strategic deterrence effect it caused might not be recognized by the system as his own action, and he wouldn't receive the prestige points. That would be a crying shame! (Key annotation of the test flight reason)

But the others didn't know the specifics,

and continued to urge Chief Designer Lin not to do something foolish.

'Alright, everyone, listen to me!'

'Who understands the Aerospace Fighter better, you or me?'

Chief Designer Lin scanned the crowd and declared loudly.

'If I say there's no problem, then there absolutely won't be any problem!'

'And I certainly wouldn't joke with my own life!'

Chief Designer Lin patted the Exoskeleton Armor on his body,

and continued.

'You all participated in the fighter's development. You know exactly how high its safety level is!'

'Not to mention, I'm wearing Exoskeleton Armor!'

'Don't forget, this Exoskeleton Armor has auxiliary flight capabilities!'

'If even this can't guarantee safety, then what can?'

'Are you all that eager to see me die?'

With Chief Designer Lin putting it so bluntly, everyone fell silent.

Because what he said made perfect sense!

Moreover, as the overall head of the Nantianmen Project,

no one could stop him from making his own decisions.

'Oh, my dear mother! Why aren't they here yet?!'

Seeing that Chief Designer Lin was already preparing to board the fighter,

Chief Engineer Peng Yu anxiously paced back and forth,

like an ant on a hot pan.

'If you don't get here soon, Lin Mo is really going to take off!'

Right at that moment,

Chief Engineer Peng Yu's phone suddenly rang.

As if hearing heavenly music,

he quickly answered the call.

'At the tarmac? Good, good!'

'Please wait a moment, we'll be right there!'

Chief Engineer Peng Yu hung up the phone,

and hurriedly said to Chief Designer Lin, who was already suited up in armor.

'Chief Designer, please wait!'

'The inspection team has arrived at the gate!'

Hearing this,

everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Chief Designer Lin felt surprised.

He hadn't filed any reports with the higher-ups these past two days,

so why had an inspection team suddenly come to Huang Province?

He had planned to give everyone a big surprise after the test flight was over!

'Let's go, together we'll welcome the inspection team!'

Since they were already here,

the necessary courtesies were definitely required.

...

At this time,

a plane from the capital,

slowly landed on the tarmac at the Qilian Center.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian said helplessly, 'It's only been a month. We don't even know if this prototype is real or fake yet. Talking about a test flight? I, for one, don't believe it!'

The inspection team member frowned and said.

'Comrade Yannian, aren't you being a bit too distrustful of Comrade Lin Mo?'

Chief Designer Bai Yannian shook his head and smiled.

'Who understands aerospace better, you or me?'

'Completing a full fighter prototype in one month is already a miracle among miracles,'

'but achieving a powered test flight? That's absolutely impossible!'

Chief Designer Bai Yannian held firm to his view.

He came from an aerospace background,

having dedicated decades of effort to Huaxia's aerospace industry, single-handedly pulling it up to a level on par with the Eagle's.

Over these decades, what storms in the aviation field hadn't he seen?

No matter how much he trusted Chief Designer Lin,

he couldn't believe

that Chief Designer Lin had completely manufactured a new type of fighter jet in just one month!

In all matters,

one must adhere to Science and established principles!

Chief Designer Bai Yannian suspected

that Chief Engineer Peng Yu's report last night was merely to claim credit!

It was all about leveraging Chief Designer Lin's reputation.

The goal was to have the inspection team come for a field visit to showcase their achievements!

That prototype was probably just a shell, with all the parts cobbled together!

After Chief Designer Bai Yannian voiced his suspicions,

the inspection team member still insisted on their own view.

'Trust my intuition!'

The inspection team member stated resolutely.

'If he says it's possible, then it definitely is possible!'

'The existence of some individuals simply cannot be defined by Science!'

Chief Designer Bai Yannian said helplessly, 'Then let's wait and see!'

Once the plane came to a complete stop.

'Let's go!'

'I'm afraid that fellow Lin Mo is about to fly away in that fighter!'

The inspection team, consisting of several dozen people,

boarded two dedicated vehicles,

and hurried towards the aerospace research base.

As soon as they got out of the cars,

Chief Designer Lin came forward with the project's senior members to welcome them.

'Welcome! We are honored by your guidance!'

Chief Designer Bai Yannian frowned and said.

'Comrade Lin Mo.'

'Why are you wearing Exoskeleton Armor?'

...
