Almost, without any special accidents, everyone stayed in front of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, waiting for the miracle of this one-hour show, and stayed until the last moment.
Going up, southwest, northeast, and adding the return trip, they had to calculate a shocking total distance.
【Twenty thousand kilometers! 】
[Twenty thousand kilometers! Am I dreaming? Or did I miscalculate?]
【If this is a dream, let us never wake up! 】
[Departing from the capital, the Weilong formation flew across the country, a true herdsman cruise!]
[The miracle of a fighter jet, the divine light of a fighter jet, super speed, super maneuverability, super performance! The might of China!]
Even though it was already midnight, all the audience and netizens were still excited and had no desire to sleep. They were having heated discussions online and offline. Forums were set up one after another, filled with cheers and shouts. Let's party all night long!
Sweat dances in a brocade robe, a mighty dragon dances, an eagle soars through the azure sky, its face radiant with splendor. Soaring a thousand miles, a majestic wind rises, soaring straight into the blue sky to reach the ninth heaven. Warplanes loom in the blue sky, and the faces of Chinese neighbors rejoice. Science and technology revitalize the nation, bearing fruit; innovation and independence build dignity. Military-civilian unity is as solid as a rock, and the Party and government are united in purpose. Our territorial waters and airspace are sacred ground, and we stand proud to catch up and surpass the leaders!
[Let the waves be ten thousand times heavier, and the wings spread across the sky, leaving no trace. Look up to the setting sun, and a white rainbow appears in the vast cold sky. A shark leaps through the waves, and an arrow flies off the string, riding the clouds and mist...]
Many people were inspired to write poetry, and they wrote with great enthusiasm, creating beautiful verses.
[We pay tribute to the talents, and we appreciate your support. You are our online poets. Thank you for your dedication and for the scientific researchers who have made great strides in the advancement of Chinese science and technology!]

As the domestic internet was abuzz, someone caught a peculiar clip from an overseas broadcast. The media, sensing their enthusiasm, began to repost it, and the buzz gradually grew. Many who saw the reports wondered if the media had made a mistake, or if they were deceiving people for news effect.
This has also attracted the attention of many countries, including countries across the sea, China's neighbors, and European Union countries... Does China have a super fighter that can fly at about Mach 3?
Why wasn't there any news about this before? How did Chinese technology suddenly advance so rapidly? Wasn't China still using the third-generation J-10 fighter jet before?
What are their intelligence departments doing?
How did China's fourth-generation, or perhaps fifth-generation, high-situational awareness, high-maneuverability, high-stealth, and ultra-high-speed J-20 suddenly appear?
Those so-called expert assessments are bullshit. Didn't they say that within ten years, China's new fighter jets will definitely not be able to be developed and manufactured and put into service?
So what are these new beyond-visual-range fighter jets flying over Chinese airspace to celebrate the New Year? Do we have to wait until they fly over our heads to discover that they already have new fighter jets?
It's not that they haven't received any clues or fragments about China's development of a new fighter jet, but China has done such a good job of keeping it secret that their people can't get access to the detailed information.
Because of this uniquely grand New Year's celebration, countless hidden forces were mobilized. Comrades from China's security departments narrowed their eyes. The bait had been released, and now they were in motion, so they could reap the big, fat fish!
China has always achieved multiple goals in one go. The debut of the J-20 was, first, to demonstrate China's confidence as a great power; second, to test the J-20's full-range flight capability; third, to wish Chinese compatriots a happy new year; fourth, to deter all parties; fifth, to deter all parties; and sixth...
Wu Tong could probably imagine the news from the outside world, but this had never been her focus. Indoors and outdoors, everyone stayed up together, watching Wei Long's last appearance on the Spring Festival Gala, watching the New Year's bell ring, and watching the host say goodbye.
Even at this point, not many people have left. Everyone is chatting, laughing, and joking, relaxing, communicating, and wishing each other a Happy New Year. There are no restrictions, and they can stay up all night if they want. Tomorrow is a day off, so there's plenty of time for them to catch up on some sleep!
At midnight, they enter the new year. Chinese people only feel that a new year has passed after the Lunar New Year. For them, New Year's Day is just a solar term for a holiday, not a psychological New Year.
Most people today may not be very familiar with the lunar calendar, but the last month of the lunar calendar and the first month of the lunar year are the times when many people have the most profound memories of the lunar calendar.
Especially the days at the end of December close to the New Year, and the days of the first lunar month before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"Mr. Hua, Happy New Year! I'm here with nothing to show for you!" Wu Tong, accompanied by her parents, extended New Year's greetings to Mr. Hua. The single word "good" conveyed Wu Tong's best wishes for Hua Yanxing in the coming year. May everything go smoothly, may everything go as planned, and may happiness and contentment be even better.
"Wu Tong, Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Take your parents home to rest first. You two have been traveling so long and it's already late at night. Hurry and go back home to get a good night's sleep." Hua Yanxing sent the family of three out and reminded them, "Wu Tong, progress is not achieved in one day. Rest well tomorrow and spend time with your parents!"
"Okay, Mr. Hua, you should go back and rest early. If the young people in the team want to stay up all night, let them have fun! You don't have to stay up with them!" Wu Tong waved his hand and also instructed Hua Yanxing.
For the past two months, she'd been completely focused on research, producing results and advancing the project, effectively acting as a hands-off manager. Hua, the team's top and bottom lines, handled all matters, big and small, all while meticulously steering the ship. It truly took a lot of effort, and it was incredibly tiring!
"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly, it's cold outside!" Seeing that Cai Yi and Wang Jie had emerged from darkness and followed Wu Tong, Hua Yanxing waved his hand and urged them.
Wu Tong is still a child, the youngest in the team. She hasn’t left the office building from yesterday to today. Don’t worry about her, just go back and have a rest!
They had already passed the clear path in front of Wu Tong's parents. It was late at night, so Cai Yi and Wang Jie went directly to the small exit of the cafeteria and escorted Wu Tong and his parents back to the dormitory safely.
They didn't let down their guard about Wu Tong's safety just because it was Chinese New Year. Danger often only lasted a moment, and all precautions were taken for that moment. The rest of the time, they had to be on high alert.
"Tongtong, are you back? I have already cleaned up your uncle and aunt's room and put the luggage in the room!" Hearing the noise, An Wenshu opened the door with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you again. Brother Cai Yi, Brother Wang Jie, and Sister An Wen and Shu An. You have always been responsible for protecting my safety and have done your best!" After entering the living room, Wu Tong solemnly introduced them again.
This time, she officially informed her parents that these three were her protectors.
"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt. It's great to see you again!" An Wenshu greeted with a smile. When Wang Jie delivered the luggage, he had already informed her that they had passed the test in front of Wu Tong's parents.
"Happy New Year! Comrade Cai, Comrade Wang, and Comrade An, we'll continue to trouble you to take care of our son Tongtong! Thank you, thank you!" the couple said gratefully.
The country is responsible for protecting Tongtong's safety. Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu are worried about the level of confidentiality Wu Tong is involved in, but they are also relieved that Wu Tong's safety is guaranteed.
They believe that the country will protect Tongtong!
