Kyoto Forbidden City.
"Knock knock knock!"
A knock sounded on the door, and the top leader, who was engrossed in processing documents, looked up and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The office door was slowly pushed open, and an elderly man walked in.
"Elder Hua? Why did you come in person?" The top leader asked softly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
"Sir, Luan Niao No. 1 has passed the acceptance test and can now officially begin test flights," Hua Guoqing said, suppressing his excitement.
The top leader suddenly froze.
The next moment, he jumped up from his chair and stared intently at Hua Guoqing, asking, "Is this really true?"
"Absolutely true."
Hua Guoqing laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare joke about this. Luan Niao No. 1 is fully prepared and ready for test flight at any time!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
The top leader laughed loudly, said "good" three times in a row, then glanced at the calendar and said directly:
"Without further ado, the test flight is scheduled for tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir!" Hua Guoqing replied solemnly.
After saying this, he prepared to take his leave.
The top leader stopped him, his eyes flashing, and said in a low voice, "The test flight will be broadcast live across the entire internet. It's time for us to flex our muscles to the world!"
The emergence of the space carrier marks the first time that China has surpassed the United States in strategic weaponry, and by a whole new level!
......
That evening, China's central news program broadcast a news report.
On the television screen, the host smiled and announced news that shocked China and the world!
"Our station has received the latest news that the South Heavenly Gate project of China has made great progress. The first aerospace carrier, Luan Niao-1, has been successfully developed and will conduct its first test flight tomorrow. Our station will broadcast the entire process live."
The news caused an uproar as soon as it was broadcast.
"??? Is the news wrong, or did I mishear?"
"Holy crap, the Southern Heavenly Gate Plan succeeded?"
"Do you guys remember what the Director said? He was actually telling the truth!"
"American, do you believe it? I, for one, do."
"That's all for now, I'm taking leave now. See you in the live stream tomorrow!"
Of course, unlike the reactions of Chinese netizens, there was a lot of skepticism on foreign social media.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! The Southern Heavenly Gate Project? China must be dreaming!"
"Tch, another scheme by the Strategic Deception Bureau, isn't it?"
"Exactly! He didn't manage to fool anyone, but he fooled himself!"
"China today is just like the United States decades ago, full of empty boasting and empty promises."
"Wait until tomorrow. If there really is a space carrier, I'll eat shit live on stream!"
"Hey upstairs, I've taken a screenshot as proof. Don't forget to share the link when you go live!"
......
Time quickly passed to the next day.
There is one hour left until the maiden flight.
In the live broadcast room of the central media, Zhang Zhaozhong appeared on the screen as a guest.
"Good morning, everyone!
The host greeted everyone with a smile, and nodded to the military commentator beside him, saying, "Welcome to the renowned military commentator, the General Director, to our live broadcast studio."
"Hello everyone in the live stream," the Director greeted everyone with a smile.
"Director, in one hour, China's first space carrier will make its maiden flight. Do you have anything to share with everyone?" the host asked with a smile.
"The successful maiden flight of the space carrier Luan Niao-1 signifies that the Nantianmen Project has been basically completed."
"As I mentioned in the last military interview, the Nantianmen project might be completed in less than a year, and thanks to the efforts of researchers, it was indeed completed on schedule."
"On behalf of myself, I would like to express my gratitude to the researchers, builders, and supporters who participated in the Nantianmen Project. If it weren't for their efforts, I would have broken my promise, haha." The Director laughed heartily and said.
Upon hearing the Director's remarks, the live stream chat exploded with comments.
"Haha, let me tell you a joke: The head of the Strategic Deception Bureau is afraid of breaking his promise!"
"That's hilarious! How much of what he said is true? Doesn't he have any self-awareness?"
"Director, can you explain why the J-20 is a modified J-10? Doesn't that count as breaking your promise?"
"The bureau chief only talks a big game; he's not responsible for whether it can actually be built!"
......
The host noticed the comments in the live stream and said with a smile, "Director, it seems that netizens don't quite believe what you're saying. Could you provide a more detailed introduction to Luan Niao No. 1?"
"Of course, if it involves classified information that can't be said, then don't say it."
The director, unconcerned about the netizens' disbelief, said with a smile, "I'll keep you in suspense for now. I'll give you a detailed introduction when Luan Niao-1 makes its maiden flight later."
"In fact, in addition to Luan Niao-1, my country is also preparing to build more aerospace carriers and spacecraft in the future."
"Add to that the bases scattered throughout space, and you can form a defense system for the entire solar system."
"Of course, these are not targeted at third countries; this system is mainly to guard against possible aliens."
The bureau chief spoke eloquently, once again employing his deceptive tactics.
However, at this moment, netizens in front of the screen became skeptical.
The time for the test flight of Luan Niao No. 1 arrived quickly.
The live stream then switched to the aerospace base.
The scene depicts a wide square.
In the center of the square, there was a huge, futuristic-looking, silver-gray airplane.
When Luan Niao No. 1 appeared on screen, the live broadcast room fell silent instantly.
However, the next moment, a barrage of comments will fill the live stream room.
"Holy crap, it really is the Luan Bird-class space carrier! I saw a model of it at the airshow!"
"Such a big plane, can it even fly?"
"Do you understand nuclear fusion? The Mousse Group has already developed a small-scale nuclear fusion device, and the Luan Bird will definitely use nuclear fusion power!"
Just as netizens were having a heated discussion, a beautiful reporter appeared in the live broadcast room.
"Hello everyone, I am Sun Yang, the live host for this test flight broadcast."
"What we are seeing in our camera now is China's first aerospace carrier - Luan Niao-1."
"It was entirely developed and manufactured independently by China, and it took more than half a year to complete."
"It is now 9:40 Kyoto time, and there are still 20 minutes until the official takeoff time of Luan Bird No. 1."
"I will guide everyone through the entire direct flight process. If you have any questions, please leave a message in the live stream."
"Now, please follow my camera and let's take a closer look at Luan Niao No. 1."
With that, he jumped into the back of a pickup truck and headed straight for the Luan Bird No. 1 in the middle of the square!
