What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Look."

Sun Xiang took out his phone.

"This is information from an external website."

"After the Yunji Project was leaked, it put a lot of pressure on the United States, and they immediately established Project Pergasos."

"But from what I understand, there are still significant internal divisions among them."

Gong Jianping disagreed: "Isn't this normal? The US is inherently a contradictory country."

Yang Hewei nodded in agreement: "Old Gong hit the nail on the head. Their existence is based on disagreements; there will always be someone who disagrees."

As longtime rivals, Yang Hewei knows his opponent very well.

This is a country where no matter what you say, there will always be someone who disagrees.

Especially in the aviation industry.

If someone proposes building airplanes, then other branches of the military and military-industrial complexes will inevitably oppose it.

Because this would squeeze out the resources that should belong to them.

"The important thing is that their current disagreements will affect us."

Sun Xiang explained.

"According to my intelligence, the Air Force currently supports this plan."

"After all, this plan will allow them to get real money."

"But the Army, Navy, and Congress are more opposed."

"They believe the premise of this project does not exist."

Gong Jianping didn't quite understand: "What premise?"

"The existence of Project Pargassos is predicated on our Yunji project."

"The vast majority of generals in the Army and Navy do not believe that our Yunji is real."

"Many of them have already spoken out in the media, saying that our project is fake and cannot exist."

Yang Hewei and Gong Jianping looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Don't say it.

There are still smart people on the American side.

This project is fake.

They were right.

Unfortunately, there's no reward even if you guess correctly.

Yang Hewei said calmly, "It's not unreasonable for a country with hundreds of millions of people to have a few smart people. A fake is still a fake, and you can tell the difference if you look closely."

That's one way of putting it.

Sun Xiang was somewhat persistent.

"But if these opposition forces influence public opinion, it could very well cause the Pegasus project to be suspended or even terminated."

"If this plan is canceled, all our previous deception will have been for nothing."

The United States is a very interesting country.

Especially during the time the Golden Retriever was around, it was easy for him to make a sudden, impulsive decision.

The Pegasus Plan was decided on a whim, after only one night of meetings.

This involves both their fears and the influence of the military-industrial complex.

But plans made on a whim ultimately cannot withstand scrutiny.

The existence of Project Pargasus is predicated on the fear of the United States and the Yunji Project of the University of Tokyo.

They are afraid of being caught up with or even surpassed in the aviation industry.

This was like a ghost story to them.

The University of Tokyo already has a new generation of super drones, so the US must catch up.

But now.

A segment of people in China have awakened to this first.

They felt that Dongda University was lying and couldn't possibly create Yunji.

In this way...

Was the Pergasus project a complete waste of money?

Is there no need for it to exist anymore?

At this moment.

They've already had a huge uproar over there, not only within Congress but also on some professional political talk shows.

The core of the argument is whether the Yunji project is real.

"Yesterday I saw a professional military program that invited experts to analyze the situation."

Sun Xiang said with concern.

"His analysis seemed very convincing, saying that our project couldn't possibly exist and that the wind tunnel data was fake."

Yang Hewei: "Then it's obviously fake."

"So, we'll keep doing it."

"This boast needs after-sales service."

"Since they don't believe us, we need to give them some more evidence."

Yang Hewei and Gong Jianping looked at him expectantly: "How will you give it to us?"

My idea is—

"We will organize a test flight as soon as possible so that everyone can see it."

"We have the wind tunnel data, and we have the aircraft; they should believe us now, right?"

Gong Jianping: ...

Yang Hewei: ...

In theory.

With a wind tunnel and test flights, the evidence is indeed quite convincing.

But the key point is that the project hasn't reached the point of taking off yet.

"The students have only just entered the final assembly stage, and their stuff is far from flying properly," Yang Hewei frankly admitted.

"Director Yang, you always strive for perfection, but that's unnecessary."

Sun Xiang waved his hand.

"Just like I said before, all you need to do is put an engine on the plane."

"As long as he can fly up to 200 meters in the air, I can take a picture."

Gong Jianping: "Will it work?"

"Control it! Absolutely control it!"

"We will organize a small test flight ceremony internally at that time."

"I'll invite some relevant leaders over."

"The Americans will definitely get wind of it and start asking around about our test flight."

"When the time comes, we'll take the plane out properly and fly it for a hundred or two hundred meters, just enough to take a picture."

"I'll just have someone post the pictures on the internet later."

"This process, while not guaranteed to be effective, will certainly keep them confused for a while."

Yang Hewei was a little undecided.

Make sense.

His mind is no longer on strategic maneuvering.

Since there was no project in sight, he felt that it was a waste of his energy to deceive people again.

Moreover.

The students currently only have an airplane shell in their hands.

It is very difficult to make it fly in a short period of time.

Yang Hewei himself knew that this project was a hoax, but the students didn't know that.

If you let them just add any engine to it and test fly it without any regard for safety, the students would definitely agree.

"Section Chief Sun, if we're going to do it this way..."

Yang Hewei admitted.

"Then I'm afraid we'll have to tell the students the truth."

"But to be honest, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."

He could already imagine the scene of telling the students the truth.

These kids in their early twenties can't withstand such a blow.

Losing small pearls is a minor matter.

Some emotionally fragile people are very likely to become depressed.

But Sun Xiang only had the plan in mind, and he tried to dissuade him.

"Director Yang, if you think about it this way, the students' dreams will be shattered sooner or later."

"Their perfect wind tunnel data was just something I filled in on the spot."

"In that case, it's definitely better for the dream to shatter sooner rather than later."

Yang Hewei hesitated upon hearing this.

To be honest, Sun Xiang's words made some sense.

Lies will always be exposed eventually.

"Alright then, I'll have them install the engine as soon as possible. If they refuse, I'll tell them the truth."

Sun Xiang nodded: "Yeah, that's the only way."

The three cobblers exchanged glances.

Yang Hewei didn't want to make this call.

But no way.

Gong Jianping and Sun Xiang didn't respond at all; they just stared at him longingly.

Left with no other choice.

Yang Hewei picked up his phone and dialed Qin Ze's voice call.

"Hey, Xiao Qin, it's me."

"..."

"Yes, I'm fine. How's the project going?"

"..."

"That's good. I have something to tell you. Due to the needs of the situation, the school and higher authorities have decided to conduct a test flight within a month. I know it's not easy for you, but listen to me..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Qin Ze interrupted Yang Hewei.

"Okay, teacher, which day specifically?"

Yang Hewei: ? ? ? ?
