Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 408 [Construction Begins on the Aerial Base Project]

Xiao Yu's release of the data parameters and performance of the Y-50 transport aircraft not only caused a huge sensation in China, but also shocked netizens and military institutions around the world after it was spread to the internet.

The whole world now wants to understand just how far the strength of this great Eastern power has developed.

The aerial combat between the Third Brother and Little Ba earlier this month is a good reference for speculating on the military strength of the major Eastern power.

The good news is that this "buyer's show" by Xiaoba has allowed the Western world to see about 20% of the strength of this great Eastern power; the bad news is that even about 20% of its strength is enough to cripple them.

The extent of the strength of this great Eastern power is beyond the comprehension of foreigners, and even its own people are unsure of its own country's true strength.

Most people just think they should be very strong and have enough self-defense capabilities. That's pretty much the general perception.

Until Xiao Ba's "buyer's show" came out, not only was the world shocked by the strength and foundation of the University of Tokyo, but the people of their own country were also shocked. It turns out that it is terrifyingly strong.

The release of information about the Y-50 strategic long-range heavy transport aircraft has left countless people at home and abroad speechless with astonishment at its bizarre parameters.

The largest military transport aircraft currently in service with Amerika is the C-5 Galaxy, with a maximum payload of 127.5 tons. Compared to the Y-50 transport aircraft, this is nearly four times the maximum payload of the older Amerika C-5 Galaxy.

Compared to other parameters, whether it's service ceiling, flight speed, or a series of other indicators, it completely outclasses the competition.

Currently, netizens from various countries are discussing this issue online. In conjunction with the previous incident where India suffered a 6-0 defeat, more and more foreign netizens are beginning to firmly believe in the comprehensive strength of the Eastern power, especially its military strength, which is already at the world's number one level.

Whether they are domestic or foreign, everyone is now speculating whether the Y-50 transport aircraft is about to be unveiled.

Because, following the traditional practices of this major Eastern power, they have already released the data and parameters of the Y-50 transport aircraft, so this matter must be a sure thing, and everyone believes it.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you were to stand up now and say that the Y-50 project was only recently launched, no one would believe you. They would think you're just bluffing, and doing it clumsily. The more you explain, the more people outside would think you're lying.

What is this called?
That's what you call a reputation built up over decades!
With the support of India, the data and parameters of the Y-50 transport aircraft released this time are widely believed by people at home and abroad.

If this had happened a few years ago, there would have been no question about it; people would have doubted and refused to believe that the data was accurate.

To be fair, India was a super helpful wingman, and the J-10CE made a huge contribution. This not only showed everyone that India is truly useless, but also shattered the confidence of the US and the West.

The thought that the great Eastern power still possesses a bunch of aircraft even more formidable than the J-10CE only fuels my despair.

In fact, at this moment, Amelika not only intends to withdraw from Europe, but also from the Middle East, and a series of actions have already proven this point.

Especially with the recent revelation of the "Yun-50" transport aircraft's bizarre numerical values, even Amei (a Taiwanese actress) is left speechless.

Amei wanted to retreat to North America to lick her wounds, but now it's not a question of whether Amei wants to retreat or not, but rather that the great Eastern power has finally found an opportunity with a legitimate reason to attack.

As the saying goes, one should press on while the enemy is strong. It's impossible to let Ah Mei go back to recover her health; we must cripple her.

Back then, Liu Bei so desperately wanted to take over Yizhou, but he was hampered by the lack of a legitimate reason for his campaign, leaving Zhuge Liang, who was eagerly seeking battle, out of the picture.

In the end, Pang Tong had to sacrifice his own life to give Liu Bei a legitimate reason to attack Yizhou.

For this campaign, Liu Bei lost a great talent, which shows how valuable a reasonable reason for launching a campaign is.

How could he possibly pass up such a great opportunity? Did he think he could leave without suffering a severe injury and becoming crippled? Did he really expect to smoothly retreat back to his stronghold and recover his strength?

……

In the days that followed, Xiao Yu spent most of his time at AVIC Linfei Company. The company had already established an electric propulsion engine development team for the Y-50 project, as well as the manufacturing and research and development of materials required for the transport aircraft.

AVIC is responsible for the final assembly and manufacturing of the Y-50 project, and AVIC Linfei is one of the core suppliers. However, whether this aircraft can be completed depends on AVIC Linfei's ability to secure the engine and fuselage materials.

However, Xiao Yu was not under any pressure, because he could find solutions to the technical problems of the transport plane on Earth.

……

By mid-July.

Amidst a series of continuous "booming" explosions, the mountains near the giant abandoned mine, located 170 kilometers north of Linzhou City, were disintegrated.

Shortly afterward, there was another series of continuous explosions on the mountain.

Two months ago, Linzhou City had already approved the land for AVIC Linfei.

What is going to be done here is currently top secret, and even members of the local leadership in Linzhou City are not authorized to know.

All I know is that this is the highest directive from above, and it's a military project.

However, the specifics of what they are doing remain unknown, and the relevant procedures and documents are approved at lightning speed, with no obstacles encountered along the way.

As the blasting team finished their mission, thousands of large-scale engineering machinery and equipment of various types drove into the construction site in a grand procession. In addition, more than 1700 super-large transport vehicles lined up in a long queue to transport the excavated soil away.

At the construction site, Xiao Yu came to inspect the project.

He looked up at the sky and then said to the chief project manager who was accompanying him, "There must be no rainy days within a 100-kilometer radius of the construction site during the construction period to affect the project."

The person in charge immediately replied, "Don't worry, we have already informed the meteorological department. We will definitely use artificial rainmaking to keep the rainwater out of the construction area in advance, and we will not let weather factors affect the progress of the project."

Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction, then added, "The cost of artificial rainmaking will be included in this project."

The person in charge replied, "Understood."

After spending more than two hours at the construction site, Xiao Yu left and returned to AVIC Linfei. At the same time, he began to accelerate the development of room temperature superconducting materials, ostensibly under the pretext of technological breakthroughs.

We need to start planning now so that a technological breakthrough can be achieved naturally later.

The manufacturing platform for the air base is larger than any traditional large-scale dock manufacturing platform, and the entire project budget reached 1285 billion yuan, which is no small amount.

All of this money was paid by AVIC Linfei; the government did not provide any funding. Therefore, it belongs to AVIC Linfei's assets, and it is a heavy asset.

One important factor in the government's decision to entrust the aerial base project to AVIC Linfei was that the government would not have to incur this huge expense for the time being.

Because AVIC Linfei is very wealthy, and Xiao Yu is in charge of Lingjing Technology, which is even wealthier than AVIC Linfei.

If Xiao Yu handles it, the country won't have to worry about budget allocations; they can just give him the right policy.
