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

Not long after.

Rumble~

Rumble~

The roar of the helicopter echoed through the sky.

Four attack helicopters flew in formation and rapidly approached the airport.

at the same time.

The theater's rapid response ground forces also surrounded the airport tarmac.

Under the emergency response plan.

The airspace within 500 kilometers of Yanliang Airport was cleared.

Only then did people realize how serious the situation was.

Wu Changjiang and Yang Xiao looked tense as they stepped off the tarmac.

The first thing he said upon meeting was a stern rebuke.

"Chief Designer Zhao!"

"Principal Ning!"

That's going too far.

"Who gave you the right to launch the plane without permission?!"

Wu Changjiang was so angry he almost swore.

It has now been proven that the unidentified flying object was neither an enemy aircraft nor an extraterrestrial visitor.

However, the appearance of this aircraft disrupted the normal order of the air force and almost caused a major disaster.

This goes beyond simply being a violation.

As the highest-ranking person present, Zhao Changhong knew he was in the wrong and should take responsibility.

So he stood at attention and took the beating, saying, "I'm sorry, Commander!"

"We didn't expect the students to submit such an assignment."

"We didn't intentionally provoke the Air Force..."

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Changjiang suddenly interrupted.

"What do you mean by 'student homework'?!"

Zhao Changhong explained, "That's a long story."

"Generally speaking, the airplane that was launched today is a student's assignment."

"Therefore, we did not take it seriously enough and did not report it in advance."

Wu Changjiang was dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao was also dumbfounded.

They doubted that they could understand Chinese.

This aircraft rendered the military's most advanced radar useless.

This aircraft utterly destroyed the most powerful active-duty fighter jet.

You're telling me this is a student's homework?

What is your social class as a student?

Are they Trisolarans?

Wu Changjiang and Yang Xiao hadn't had a chance to ask any further questions.

suddenly!

A childish voice called out from the crowd.

"Commander Yang, what a coincidence! I see you here!"

Yang Xiao: ? ? ?

That sound...

Qin Ze?

next second.

Qin Ze stepped out of the crowd with his signature smile on his face.

At that moment, Yang Xiao suddenly felt relieved.

It sounds amazing that someone from Northwestern Polytechnical University has developed a high-performance aircraft.

But if Qin Ze were to develop an aircraft that could outrun the J-20, Yang Xiao would find it quite reasonable.

"I should have known it was you!" Yang Xiao stepped forward and excitedly shoved Qin Ze.

"Holy crap, stop shaking! You're shaking the yellow stuff apart!"

Yang Xiao burst into laughter: "How did you manage to get on the plane again? You gave us quite a scare..."

The two seemed quite familiar with each other.

Everyone had different thoughts.

The principal and Chief Engineer Zhao could tell that Qin Ze had connections.

But they never expected this.

Qin Ze was able to put his arm around the commander's shoulder.

Needless to say, the other students were even worse off.

Zhou Jiahao was so hungry he cried.

He saw it very clearly.

That general had two stars on his shoulders; he was a true general.

Qin Ze and this general were as close as if they were peers.

Who wouldn't be confused by this thing?

The one who couldn't understand it the most was Wu Changjiang.

What does it mean to say "I should have known it was you"?

So it makes sense that this young man built the plane?

What kind of logic is this?

Is this young man some kind of deity?

With these questions in mind, Wu Changjiang approached Yang Xiao.

"Commander Yang, what's going on?"

Yang Xiao proudly said, "This is the treasure of our Zhongchen War Zone that I told you about, the one who is worth an entire combined arms brigade."

"I remember that."

Wu Changjiang recalled their previous conversation.

Then he looked at Qin Ze.

He suddenly asked the question.

"What exactly happened to this plane?"

Qin Ze blurted out, "Reporting to the commander, we are conducting a test flight experiment of a large unmanned wingman!"

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Changjiang didn't react in time and almost got wiped out.

"A drone!"

"You call this a drone wingman!"

Good guy!

Near-perfect signal stealth.

Hypersonic cruising speed.

You still call it a drone wingman?

Wingman is an air force tactical term, referring to a pair of aircraft, the lead aircraft and the wingman.

Under normal circumstances.

The lead aircraft is the formation leader, responsible for main attack, observation, and command; it is the core.

The wingman follows the lead aircraft, responsible for providing cover, alert, backup, and safety.

One is primary, the other is secondary.

"Your thing is dancing on my theater radar."

"I just couldn't catch him!"

"They passed behind my J-15 and J-20 aircraft two or three times without making a sound."

"I estimate the cruising speed is over Mach 5."

"You call this a wingman?"

Wu Changjiang sighed.

"Then I don't quite understand."

"Who was the lead pilot for this thing you designed?"

"A water droplet?"

"..."

Qin Ze was speechless for a moment.

Don't tell.

This middle-aged man in military uniform was fierce, but his words were always to the point.

The Yunji project was originally initiated as a wingman project.

But Qin Ze got carried away with the fun and forgot about it.

The wingman design is too advanced, making it even harder for the existing lead aircraft to coordinate.

So he scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Sorry, we're still students after all, we're not mature enough in this regard, and we didn't think things through."

Wu Changjiang: "???"

If you haven't considered things thoroughly, then don't even consider them.

What the heck is this seventh-generation fighter jet?

I don't know if you're serious or just being sarcastic.

"What were you thinking? A drone wingman going at Mach 4 or 5?"

Qin Ze: "Didn't the project require us to continue having wingmen working with fifth-generation fighters?"

"Can this thing work with the J-20?"

Even Wu Changjiang was convinced.

"When your plane just passed by, my J-20 didn't react at all."

"These two are from completely different eras, okay?"

"What I really want to know is what's going on with your plane."

Qin Ze briefly explained, "Our initial design concept was a near-space unmanned combat wingman platform."

"It possesses stable signal concealment capabilities."

"Maximum cruising speed is a little over Mach 5."

"The takeoff weight is about fifty tons."

"So far, the results seem to be quite good."

Wu Changjiang and Yang Xiao both let out a sigh at the same time.

"Ghost!"

Before coming.

The two of them guessed that this plane might be incredibly powerful.

But they never expected this.

This plane is of this standard!

This is hardly a drone wingman.

This is clearly a next-generation flagship stealth fighter-bomber!

Their stealth capabilities and cruising speed are well-known.

I never expected this.

Its takeoff weight is also excellent.

With a takeoff weight of over fifty tons, it is more than capable of being an excellent bomber platform.

Just imagine!

With that weight, what can't the plane hold inside?

Fully loaded with tactical nuclear warheads, it flies to the enemy capital and drops bombs in complete stealth.

Even if the enemy's country is destroyed, they will not know who killed them.

Thinking of this, Wu Changjiang looked at Yang Xiao behind him and questioned, "You're saying he's worth a heavy combined arms brigade?"

Yang Xiao: "What? You think it's not worth it?"

"My God!"

Wu Changjiang felt a chill run down his spine.

"How powerful must your heavy combined arms brigade in the Zhongchen Theater be?"

"Can you match them?"
