The next ten minutes.
The official spoke with great emotion about his personal involvement in the Nantianmen Project.
"The story goes back 30 years. At that time, I was a young scientific researcher and was fortunate enough to participate in the Nantianmen Project."
“At the very beginning of the Nantianmen Project, we encountered unprecedented difficulties. We lacked funds, talent, and technology. You could say we lacked everything.”
"However, these difficulties did not stop us. On the contrary, they inspired our determination to realize the Nantianmen Project. After countless attempts and failures, we finally broke through the technological blockade, achieved a great breakthrough, and finally completed the Nantianmen Project."
The director spoke eloquently and passionately, while the host opposite him looked a little stiff, almost unable to hold back his emotions.
"I'm a professional! I'm a professional! Just pretend you didn't hear what they said! What did you have for supper tonight?"
The host's thoughts were already wandering, but he maintained a professional smile and looked at the director, appearing to be listening very attentively.
However, in online live streaming rooms, netizens are not so polite.
"Hahaha! The host's face is completely frozen!"
"The Strategic Deception Bureau is amazing! They can even make up stories like this!"
"It's as if the Director said everything, yet it's also as if he said nothing at all."
"Don't you guys find what the Director said sounds familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"
"Upstairs, if you replace the Nantianmen Project with fighter jets, atomic bombs, or some other high-tech equipment, wouldn't it make sense?"
"Haha, I see!"
"I think it's most likely fake. The credibility of what the General Zhang said is not high right now."
"Who can tell what's true and what's false?"
"Forget it, our commercial airliners are still in their infancy, how could we possibly jump straight to space carriers? That's incredibly difficult!"
Finally, the Director's long speech came to an end, and the host, alerted by his earpiece, snapped back to reality. He then asked a few more trivial questions, which the Director answered one by one.
Towards the end of the program, the host couldn't help but ask, "A military enthusiast friend asked me to inquire when the Luan Bird space carrier is expected to appear?"
The director smiled and said confidently, "According to our plan, we expect to see a prototype in less than a year, possibly even less."
The host looked at the serious-looking Director Zhang and his lips twitched involuntarily, but he still maintained a smile and said, "It's really something to look forward to. Thank you for joining us in the studio, Director Zhang. That concludes this episode. See you next time, everyone."
Sitting across from the director, looking at the host whose eyes were full of doubt, the director thought to himself, "These days, why does nobody believe you when you tell the truth?"
Not only did the host think he was bluffing, but the intelligence personnel watching the live broadcast also looked completely unconvinced.
Due to their duties, they still compiled the Director's speech and submitted it to their superior as part of the report on the Nantianmen Project.
US Department of Defense.
Tom, the intelligence chief who was over fifty years old, smiled contemptuously after reading the report submitted by his subordinates, and said to his young deputy, "Tony, what do you think of China's Nantianmen Project?"
Tony frowned and said, "Sir, there's something fishy about this."
Tom paused, both amused and exasperated, and said, "You still believe this Chinese nonsense? Tell me your opinion."
Tony organized his thoughts and said, "According to information from spies operating in China, China is starting the development of a seventh-generation fighter jet. And according to China's consistent practice, since they have launched a fifth-generation fighter jet, they must already be developing a sixth-generation fighter jet, and they must also be making technical preparations for the next generation of fighter jets."
"Although this 'Director' is not very credible, some of his predictions from more than a decade ago have come true in China today, so I think we can't completely disbelieve what he says."
Tom chuckled, “Tony, we’re also developing seventh-generation fighter jets, and it’s not hard to guess that China is too. But the technological difficulty of a space carrier is far beyond that of a seventh-generation fighter jet. We Americans haven’t even gotten started yet. Do you think China has a chance?”
Before Tony could speak, he continued, "Have you forgotten how we brought down the predecessor of Great Mao? These are all things we've already mastered. China still wants to use this trick to fool us? They're really overestimating themselves."
Tony suddenly realized, "Sir, I almost forgot. Back then, our planetary project was just like that, which is how we fooled the predecessor of Great Russia. China's current methods are exactly the same as ours back then."
"It's normal that you can't recall it right now since you didn't experience it firsthand. Back in the day..."
Tom's expression turned to one of reminiscence, and he began to recount his memories in great detail.
Tony could only stand aside with a forced smile, patiently listening to his superior reminisce about the glorious past!
The report on China's Nantianmen Project was casually categorized as false intelligence and placed in the archives.
......
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Ye Chen and the others on the Nantianmen project worked together to refine the design blueprints for the Luan Bird space carrier and the White Emperor fighter jet.
The Luan bird is about 500 meters long and has a wingspan of 1,000 meters, which is twice as large as originally planned. Due to the use of a nuclear fusion reactor, the total carrying capacity reaches 100,000 tons. Judging from the parameters, it is definitely an aircraft carrier.
As a space carrier, it reaches an orbital altitude of 50,000 kilometers. To put this in perspective, the highest geostationary satellite on Earth is less than 40,000 kilometers high. The Luan Bird is directly above high-orbit satellites, making it extremely easy for it to destroy various satellites with its onboard laser weapons.
The Luan bird is paired with the Baidi Sky Fighter, which is an unmanned aircraft with a fuselage length of 30 meters and a wingspan of 9 meters. It can fly in outer space and the atmosphere.
In terms of flight speed, when the White Emperor bursts into outer space from the atmosphere, its speed can reach up to Mach 16, exceeding that of any current strategic missile.
In terms of weaponry, besides being able to carry missiles, the White Emperor fighter jet's real trump card is its two small laser rapid-fire cannons. Of course, Ye Chen also envisions upgrading it with even stronger electronic pulse particle cannons in the future.
In the atmosphere, the flight speed can only reach Mach 5, but even at that speed, it can completely outrun any current fifth-generation fighter jet!
As for Chengying, Yueying, Chixiao, and Tianhe in the Nantianmen Project, we don't have the resources to design these aircraft and mechs yet. However, once the Luan Bird and Baidi fighters are completed, these supporting aircraft and combat units will be developed.
Finally, the Luan Bird and the White Emperor fighter jet entered the trial production stage. At this point, Ye Chen didn't have much to do anymore.
