In the photo, a striking orange-red patch, raised several tens of degrees above the surrounding skin, is clearly visible in the area where the silent damping pads are installed at the rear of the "Shadow" engine compartment!
Mingzhao's gaze lingered on that spot for a long time!

The thermal degradation problem of silent materials exposed by the high-altitude test of the Shadow is like a Damocles' sword hanging over our heads.
However, the humiliation and threat posed by US reconnaissance aircraft cannot be ignored.
"The thermal stability of silent materials must be addressed, but this will take time."
Mingzhao's voice rang out at the project team's core meeting, calm to the point of being cruel: "But the vultures won't give us time. The next invasion could be tomorrow."

Mingzhao's gaze swept across the massive combat situation map on the wall, finally settling on the abstract symbol representing the "Galaxy" satellite network. "The Shadow's Claws are the Galaxy.

Wang Tiezhu's lips moved, as if he wanted to refute, "How can we fight a real battle if the hidden dangers are not eliminated?" But recalling the thrilling ten seconds during the high-altitude test and Ming Zhao's precise instructions that turned the tide, he swallowed his words.
Su Xuan immediately straightened his back: "Agreed! Real combat is the best test! Where to choose the target?"
"The comprehensive electronic testing range of 'Wolf's Lair' in the Northwest Gobi Desert."
