The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

at the same time.

Guanlan Air Force Base.

A secret interrogation room was set up overnight, and a special surprise interrogation of the pilots of the foreign-intruded military aircraft was being carried out quietly.

The interrogation room was brightly lit and solemn, with audio and video recording throughout the entire process, and the evidence was sealed.

The captured U.S. Major pilot Kane Miller, dressed in a uniform containment suit, sat casually with an arrogant expression.

Throughout the entire process, he kept his eyes down, displaying an attitude of being unyielding and refusing to cooperate.

According to the U.S. wartime emergency response guidelines for prisoners of war, prisoners captured overseas are strictly prohibited from voluntarily disclosing any core information such as flight missions, reconnaissance parameters, equipment secrets, and tactical objectives.

If the person remains silent and cooperates without providing any information, the U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and military will immediately initiate diplomatic intervention and extradition procedures.

Furthermore, with the support of the provisions on the treatment of prisoners of war in the Third Geneva Convention, captured intelligence personnel enjoy the rights of prisoners of war in accordance with regulations, and are not subject to torture, forced confessions, or improper handling.

This is why Kane Miller felt confident and assured that his side would use all diplomatic resources to pressure the key figures.

They were completely unafraid of our interrogation, determined to remain silent and not utter a single word, waiting to be extradited back to China.

Two stern-faced, air force officers took turns questioning, explaining policies, and informing the public of the law for several hours.

Miller remained expressionless and silent throughout, his eyes filled with contempt and arrogance, as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"They're too arrogant! These Americans are absolutely despicable!" The young interrogation officer clenched his fists, his eyes filled with suppressed anger, and his tone was indignant.

"They blatantly and illegally intruded into our airspace, conducted covert reconnaissance, were captured on the spot, and still dare to be so arrogant and refuse to cooperate!"

The presiding officer took a deep breath, suppressing his anger; he was well aware of the current stalemate.

With the other party holding international conventions as protection and a firm diplomatic backing, conventional interrogation is completely ineffective without any confession, and continuing to question them will only be a waste of time.

"Immediately cease the interrogation, truthfully report to the base command, and urgently request instructions from the highest command level regarding subsequent procedures!"

"yes!"

The interrogation order was immediately transmitted to the highest command level of the theater air force.

Less than ten minutes.

An emergency meeting of the top leadership of the Air Force Theater Command was held overnight, with all generals, operations staff, equipment and technology experts, and foreign affairs specialists in attendance.

The discussion focused on three core issues: the intrusion of the RQ-190 "Raven" stealth reconnaissance aircraft, the pilot's refusal to provide information, and the follow-up handling.

The conference room's large projection screen simultaneously displayed the reconnaissance aircraft's live feed, intrusion route, stealth parameters, and interception records, creating a solemn and serious atmosphere.

A major general operations staff officer reported: "Sir, the captured pilot Kane Miller is strictly adhering to the US's regulations for prisoners of war, refusing to divulge any information, and refusing to cooperate with interrogation in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Conventional interrogation methods have been completely ineffective."

"Moreover, the U.S. Foreign Ministry has already initiated pre-emptive diplomatic and public opinion building, and it is highly likely that it will formally send a letter to negotiate, demand the extradition of personnel, and request the return of the warplane wreckage in the near future. The time left for us to deal with this is extremely limited!"

A lieutenant general from the Equipment Department spoke slowly, his gaze sharp and his thinking clear: "Since the other side is refusing to talk and attempting to extricate themselves through diplomatic pressure, let's change our approach and bypass the interrogation deadlock!"

"People don't have to speak, but airplanes can! The RQ-190 is the latest generation of stealth strategic reconnaissance aircraft for the United States."

"It brings together their most advanced stealth coatings, aerodynamic layouts, low-observable technologies, silent avionics, and low-altitude penetration algorithms—a top-tier technology sample delivered right to our doorstep!"

"My proposal is: First, immediately issue instructions to the foreign affairs department to coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to launch reciprocal diplomatic mediation and public opinion game to delay the extradition negotiations with the United States."

"This will buy us ample time for technical disassembly and scientific analysis."

"Second, immediately contact the Aerospace Engineering Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and mobilize top experts in stealth aircraft, avionics systems, radar-absorbing materials, and low-altitude detection from across the country to rush to Guanlan Air Force Base."

"A complete dissection, disassembly, and reverse engineering of this Raven reconnaissance aircraft!"

"Look what information the US has stolen!"

"This proposal is feasible and extremely valuable!" The theater commander immediately approved, "Execute it immediately!"

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing everything it can to stall for time, while the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately assembled its elite research team and began tackling the technical challenges overnight!"

"We must thoroughly understand the core technological weaknesses and strengths of the US's new generation of stealth reconnaissance aircraft!"

"yes!"

……

Beijing.

The Institute of Aerospace Stealth Vehicle Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, urgently assembled all its staff late at night.

The institute's director, Zhou Hongyuan, personally oversaw and coordinated the efforts.

At the age of 58, he is a leading figure in China’s top stealth aerodynamics and avionics technology, having been deeply involved in the field of aviation stealth for more than 30 years.

He has led the research and development of many domestically produced stealth fighters, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and low-altitude detection equipment.

Having overcome numerous bottlenecks in core technologies such as radar-absorbing materials, stealth aerodynamic layout, and low-noise avionics, it is the absolute authority in stealth aircraft research in China.

Inside the emergency meeting room.

The room was brightly lit, and dozens of senior researchers, academic leaders, and doctoral engineers were all in place, their expressions solemn.

Zhou Hongyuan: "Everyone, an urgent and momentous opportunity has arrived!"

"Our air force successfully intercepted one of the US's latest RQ-190 'Raven' stealth strategic reconnaissance aircraft. The aircraft was intact, all equipment was complete, and there was no major damage!"

"This is the first time we've had complete access to the US military's current next-generation top-tier stealth reconnaissance equipment. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for technological benchmarking and catching up!"

"Currently, my country's domestically produced unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft technology is mature and the system is complete, and its conventional high-altitude reconnaissance and cruise detection capabilities are among the world's best."

"However, in cutting-edge sub-fields such as ultra-micro radar cross-section, nano-composite absorbing coating, low-altitude silent penetration, stealth in complex clutter environments, and airborne intelligent silent reconnaissance algorithms, there are still slight gaps compared to the latest models from the United States."

"The US RQ-190 features an ultra-small radar cross-section of 0.0012 square meters, global heat source suppression, low-noise silent cruise, and clutter camouflage technology."

"It's their core secret, the result of years of iterative development, and it's also the key thing we most need to learn from, benchmark against, and break through in order to optimize our own iterations and address our shortcomings!"

"In the past, we could only rely on publicly available parameters, foreign intelligence, and simulations to infer the true nature of the aircraft. Now, the real aircraft is right here at our base, completely intact!"

"We can thoroughly understand its core stealth principles and uncover its entire technical logic for low-altitude infiltration, silent reconnaissance, and radar evasion through whole-aircraft disassembly, materials analysis, avionics decoding, aerodynamic simulation, and algorithm reverse engineering!"

"By thoroughly understanding its technology, we can upgrade our domestically produced stealth aircraft and air defense detection systems in a targeted and iterative manner, making up for our shortcomings in low-altitude stealth countermeasures and achieving a technological leapfrog development!"

At this point, Zhou Hongyuan's tone suddenly became more serious, and his gaze became firm: "The opportunity is right in front of us, and time is extremely tight!"

"The US will undoubtedly exert full diplomatic pressure and demand the equipment; we only have a few days left!"

"Everyone, immediately pack up your equipment, test instruments, prepare your attack plan, and get fully equipped and ready to head to Guanlan Air Force Base!"

"Master the Dark Raven's techniques, address our weaknesses, and achieve a technological comeback! Do you have the confidence?!"

"have!!"

After a quick preparation, everyone flew to Shenzhen.
