Zhang Mingyuan's legs went weak, and he could only stand up by leaning against the wall.

Jiang Feng slowly lowered the gun, his palms covered in cold sweat.

Wearing protective suits, Sun and the others looked as if they had just been pulled out of the water, their protective masks filled with fog.

"The sample is stable."

Mingzhao's voice broke the silence, flowing like a cold spring, "Anchor point... successfully extracted."

Her gaze swept over the still-shaken Engineer Sun: "Prepare... matrix material. Temperature... 1250 degrees. Vacuum... simulate inert gas environment."

Engineer Sun immediately rallied his team to get to work!

---

In the core area of ​​the materials laboratory, the atmosphere remained tense, but the bewilderment of the crowd had been replaced by a kind of fervent, almost pilgrimage-like enthusiasm.

The specially designed high-temperature vacuum melting furnace emitted a deep hum.

Inside the furnace, under the protection of inert gas, the black microwave-absorbing ceramic substrate powder with the best performance previously developed by Sun's team is undergoing fusion with the dark golden stardust anchor thread at Mingzhao's fingertip.

Mingzhao personally stood guard at the control panel beside the furnace.

Her eyes were fixed on the data stream transmitted from the high-temperature probe inside the furnace, and her slender fingers were making micron-level fine adjustments on the rough knob.

She forcibly suppressed the furnace temperature curve into an extremely narrow band that violated conventional sintering theory, like dancing on a knife's edge.

Zhang Meng, Zhang Mingyuan, Jiang Feng, and even Wang Tiezhu, who was allowed to enter, all stood holding their breath outside the thick, explosion-proof glass observation window.

"Can it succeed?"

Zhang Meng remained silent, simply staring intently at the experimental subject.

Zhang Mingyuan nodded affirmatively: "Scientific research has no absolutes, but I believe in Mingzhao!"

Time ticked by, and the hum of the smelting furnace was the only sound.

finally!

The furnace temperature began to drop slowly. The vacuum pump stopped working.

Inert gas is injected, and the cooling system is activated.

laugh--!

The heavy furnace door slowly opened under hydraulic pressure. A wave of scorching air billowed out and was quickly drawn away.

Inside the furnace, a palm-sized, jet-black, mirror-smooth sheet lay quietly on a high-temperature resistant support. It no longer emitted a faint, cold glow, but instead possessed an absolute, profound darkness, seemingly capable of swallowing all light!

An indescribable, faint energy field spread out from the thin plate like ripples.

Just looking at it makes you feel like your gaze is being sucked in!

"Quick! Get to the testing platform!"

Zhang Meng's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

---

Deep within the base lies the underground testing ground.

This is a huge cavern that has undergone special wave-absorbing treatment.

The cave walls were covered with a thick layer of pyramidal wave-absorbing material, resembling the black entrails of a monster.

In the center of the test field stands a solitary metal support.

On the support frame, there was a newly created black wave-absorbing panel containing stardust anchors.

At one end of the testing ground, the heavy lead door was tightly closed, behind which was the control room.

The atmosphere inside the control room was extremely tense.

The huge radar display screen is divided into two parts, left and right.

On the left is a relatively advanced Soviet-made ground surveillance radar (P-18); on the right is a smaller but more technologically advanced high-frequency fire control radar (AN/APG-59) captured from the US military!

This is a top-secret weapon, used to simulate the enemy's most advanced detection methods.

Zhang Meng, Zhang Mingyuan, Wang Tiezhu, Sun Gong, and others crowded in front of the control panel, their eyes fixed on the screen.

Jiang Feng stood guard at the door, gun in hand, watching for any unusual activity.

Mingzhao stood alone in the corner of the control room, leaning against the cold wall, closing her eyes to rest, as if everything that was about to happen outside had nothing to do with her.

"Test...start!"

Zhang Meng's voice came through the microphone, carrying a resolute determination.

Buzz!

Both radars were activated simultaneously! The green scanning baseline instantly lit up on both the left and right screens!

The green fan-shaped beam, representing the electromagnetic wave, swept across the metal support and the wave-absorbing plate in the center of the test field like a searchlight.

Inside the control room, everyone's hearts were in their throats!

Wang Tiezhu clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, his body trembling slightly, waiting for the expected peak signal that represented the disaster.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

...

On the left, on the Soviet-made P-18 radar screen, the clear signal dot representing the metal support disappeared instantly!

The screen is filled with... clean, static-like dots! Only the baseline of ambient noise is fluctuating slightly!

"Gone...disappeared?!"

The controller cried out, his voice filled with unbelievable ecstasy!

But this euphoria had not yet spread!

On the right side, on the screen of the American-made AN/APG-59 fire control radar, as the scanning baseline swept across the target area, a faint but extremely clear small signal point suddenly jumped out!

Although the intensity is very low, far lower than that of ordinary metal reflection, it does exist!

"Signal! High-frequency signal!" the controller in charge of the American-made radar exclaimed in surprise!

boom!

Like being doused with cold water!

The elation that had just begun to rise was instantly frozen!

Zhang Meng's face turned deathly pale instantly!

Zhang Mingyuan's heart sank to the bottom!

Wang Tiezhu let out a desperate sob: "I knew it! I knew it wouldn't work! We were found out after all!"

High frequency! The operating frequency of the enemy's most advanced fire control radar! This board... failed?!

"No! Wait! The signal strength... is weakening!"

The American radar operator's voice suddenly rose, filled with extreme shock, "It's...disappearing?! It's like it's been...eaten?!"
