Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed General Zhou's number.

General Zhou is the chief of staff of the Jiangcheng garrison. He met Ye Chen when Ye Chen brought a laser gun to a light weapons exchange meeting, and they have maintained contact ever since.

In particular, as he introduced more and more cutting-edge technologies, his connections with the local garrison also increased.

At a military base on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, General Zhou was handling military affairs in his office.

Suddenly, his personal phone rang.

Upon seeing the name "Ye Chen" in the notes, he quickly answered the call.

As a high-ranking military officer, General Zhou was also aware of Ye Chen's current identity.

Ye Chen is no longer the shy boy who had to pull strings to get into the exchange meeting.

Ye Chen is now a force to be reckoned with, not just as a general as Zhou. Even higher-ranking officers would need to take him seriously.

Not to mention that his Mousse Group covers multiple fields and is currently the most prominent technology company in China.

His influence in the scientific research community is significant; if he were to stomp his foot now, the entire scientific research community in China would be shaken to its core.

As the military commander of the Mousse Group's headquarters in Jiangcheng, General Zhou had been instructed by more than one leader to pay special attention to the security of the Mousse Group.

Even without these people's instructions, he would still pay special attention. Just because his men were the first to be equipped with laser guns, he couldn't afford not to.

"Hello, Mr. Ye," General Zhou said after answering the phone.

"General Zhou, hello, I have something to report to you." Ye Chen said with a smile.

General Zhou was slightly taken aback. Ye Chen had a high level of authority and didn't need to report many events to the Jiangcheng military. Since he had made a special call, it must be something important.

Has the Mousse Group developed some kind of high-tech weapon?

Thinking of this, General Zhou sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "Please tell us what it is, and we will cooperate fully."

Ye Chen said, "Well, a spacecraft will be landing over the Mousse headquarters in a little while. I'm letting you know in advance to avoid any misunderstandings."

Upon hearing this, General Zhou felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "Oh, an aircraft? No problem. With your status, you are perfectly capable of using an aircraft. I'll have someone register it later."

In his imagination, Ye Chen would probably be traveling in a helicopter or some kind of special small aircraft.

“Um, General Zhou, this aircraft is a bit big,” Ye Chen said after a pause.

"How big is it? Do you need me to prepare a runway? My airport can handle Y-20 takeoffs and landings without any problem," General Zhou said with a smile.

"The aircraft is about 150 meters long and 30 meters wide, about the size of two commercial airliners," Ye Chen said casually.

How big?

Upon hearing this, General Zhou asked incredulously, "Mr. Ye, are you sure you're not joking? A plane that's 150 meters long and 30 meters wide—there's no plane that big in the world!"

He had never heard of a 150-meter-long aircraft. The world's largest aircraft, the Tu-225, was only about 80 meters long. Where did this 150-meter-long aircraft come from?

"General Zhou, you must have heard of the Southern Heavenly Gate Project, right?" Ye Chen didn't answer his question directly, but instead mentioned the Southern Heavenly Gate Project.

"Project Nantianmen?"

General Zhou's expression turned serious. He had also received some inside information and knew that the Nantianmen Project had been transferred from the Strategic Deception Bureau to a newly established project team, and it seemed to be in the research and development stage!

Thinking of this, a thought struck him, and his face immediately became excited. He asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be...could it be related to the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?"

"That's right, I've already built a prototype of the Luan Bird from the Nantianmen Project, and it's currently hovering over the Mousse headquarters," Ye Chen said casually.

"What! We're right here above the Mousse headquarters?" Upon hearing this, General Zhou stood up abruptly and blurted out in alarm.

A flying vehicle, 150 meters long and 30 meters wide, hovered directly over Jiangcheng!

However, he did not receive any reports.

"Mr. Ye, I haven't received any reports. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" General Zhou said, calming himself down.

"Of course," Ye Chen chuckled. "The prototype has been given some stealth features, so the military's radar might not be able to detect it."

"Yes, we also added some optical cloaking, so it's undetectable to the naked eye," Ye Chen continued.

"Optical stealth! Undetectable by radar!"

General Zhou swallowed hard, forcing himself to suppress his excitement, and said, "Mr. Ye, please wait half an hour. This matter is too important. I need to report it to my superiors. In addition, we need to impose some restrictions."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up the phone, General Zhou immediately rushed to the radar monitoring room command center at the base.

As soon as he entered, without even greeting the officers and soldiers in the command center, he hurriedly asked, "Have you spotted any large, unregistered aircraft over Jiangcheng?"

Faced with General Zhou's question, the officers and soldiers present looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the captains replied, "Sir, we have not detected any unusual aircraft in the skies above Jiangcheng."

"Immediately turn on all channels of surveillance radar and set the power to maximum," General Zhou ordered solemnly.

The officers and soldiers in the command center did not dare to be negligent. Following General Zhou's instructions, they turned on the full-channel surveillance radar and started scanning at maximum power.

Three minutes later.

General Zhou looked at the images on the radar screen and frowned deeply, finding no abnormal signals.

He took a deep breath and instructed the captain, "Continue to maintain full-channel surveillance. In half an hour, an aircraft will appear over Jiangcheng. Do not sound the alarm, but report to me and other leaders immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Although the captain was puzzled, he took it upon himself to obey orders as a soldier's duty, and he stood at attention without hesitation and answered.

After leaving the command center, General Zhou immediately reported the situation to his superiors.

Upon hearing the instructions coming through the microphone, General Zhou unconsciously straightened up and calmly replied, "Yes, sir, I will certainly follow your instructions."

He then made several other phone calls and issued combat orders.

"Notify the guard regiment to depart immediately and, according to the pre-arranged plan, seal off a three-kilometer radius around the Mousse Group."

"Notify the air traffic control center that an emergency military exercise will be conducted over Jiangcheng. The airspace will be closed for half an hour."

"Prepare the helicopter; I'm heading to the Mousse Group."

After issuing several orders, General Zhou finally dialed Ye Chen's number.

"Mr. Ye, the commander has instructed me to cooperate with all your actions. I have already issued orders to close the airspace and blockade the area around the Mousse Group. You may land in fifteen minutes."
