213: Chapter 213 Technology is Ready-Made
The people in the livestream room were all stunned.
At this moment, they could hardly describe their state of mind; they were so shocked they sat bolt upright in their chairs.
Not to mention the audience in the livestream, even the members of the Longan Bureau all jumped up from their seats with a 'whoosh' of shock!
"What?!"
"Can someone explain this phenomenon to me??"
"Wait... why is his drone so awesome??"
The Director of the Longan Bureau, Long Anyou, was completely lost in thought. He cursed out loud just to calm his inner turmoil slightly.
A drone that could fly over the ocean while ignoring the weather—what a magnificent invention this must be!!
Meanwhile, this video was also edited by numerous netizens and spread across the internet.
More and more people noticed this scene and flocked to the livestream, eager to find out the truth.
However, even more people, upon hearing the news, wanted to investigate the authenticity of the matter.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences...
Elder Jiang's team was gathered together, still congratulating themselves over the domestic chips, believing that the next Nobel Prize in Physics would belong to them...
However...
Just as they were celebrating, they suddenly heard about a drone capable of breaking through weather patterns and flying over the sea surface.
The central command even ordered them to quickly clarify the truth of this matter!
There was even an exclusive military approval document!
Hiss...!
When Elder Jiang's team saw this official document, they were all dumbfounded.
"What the heck??"
"A drone that can overcome the weather changes on the sea surface?"
After reading the official document, they all stared at each other in confusion.
"Is this really true?"
Elder Jiang was the first to voice his doubt.
The others also expressed deep skepticism upon hearing this, yet... they could not deny the authenticity of the matter!
After all, it was a document issued from above. If any mistake occurred, they would naturally be the ones to cover the losses from the research funding.
Some things could be wildly imaginative, even unconventional... but absolutely not outlandish!
Even so, everyone remained somewhat doubtful about the drone's authenticity.
They soon turned to the Longan Bureau member who delivered the document.
"Is there no issue with this?"
"If some people are just daydreaming, I'll have a few choice words for them!"
The status of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was not low.
Being constantly asked to create bizarre inventions gave them headaches that lasted more than a day or two.
However, this was the first time they had encountered such an unreasonable request!
To put it nicely, they were asked to research, but those who didn't know would think they were being asked to create things purely from imagination!
The person they were speaking to quickly let out a nervous laugh upon hearing this.
"We understand your skepticism, Elder Jiang, but this matter is indeed a fact. After all, hundreds of millions of people saw it with their own eyes. There shouldn't be anything fake... right?"
He sounded hesitant, not even fully believing what he was saying.
Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang's team was also filled with doubt.
Were these people just joking with them?
The critical thing was that it wasn't even April Fool's Day!
"I have video evidence here. If you doubt it, you can watch the video. Those in charge said this matter is extremely urgent and they request you deliver the finished product within three months..."
"After all, this has a significant impact on our Long Country's military capabilities..."
The representative quickly produced a video and spoke with a solemn tone.
However, Elder Jiang didn't have time for pleasantries. They gathered around, intending to watch the so-called video.
"Hmph! This old man wants to see what kind of thing can overcome the extreme conditions on the sea surface!"
"If it's really that amazing, we could directly send a swarm of drones to bomb the White House!"
Elder Jiang snorted coldly. He took the phone and began sharing it with his colleagues nearby...
And then...
Their expressions all became strange.
In the video, a drone passed directly through waves tens of meters high. Although there was some element of skillful maneuvering to avoid the maximum impact of the waves, those were still waves tens of meters high!
A wave that size hitting them would shatter even a seawall, let alone this tiny drone!
Yet, the facts showed him that the operator not only succeeded but also seemed to maintain excellent stability based on the subsequent footage!
Hiss...!
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces turned as sour as if they had just eaten a live fly.
In their understanding, no laboratory in this world could possibly have successfully developed this thing!!
"You must be messing with us, right? How is this possible?"
Soon, Elder Jiang, with a dark face, severely berated the member from the Public Security Bureau.
They could tolerate being played with, but they would not stand for being made fools of!
At first, they thought they only needed to improve the drone's stability, endurance, and stealth capabilities, but now... the reality told them that what they were being asked to build was purely a conceptual weapon!
If such a thing truly existed, Pretty Country would probably have to call them the boss now!
The member of the Longan Bureau also gave a wry smile.
This had little to do with him; he was purely a runner, a grunt.
"This matter is real! Incidentally, you actually know the operator of this drone."
"Hmph! I'd like to see which genius managed to develop such a conceptual-level weapon!"
Elder Jiang quickly snorted coldly.
In response, the Longan Bureau member quickly replied.
"Lin Heng..."
"Heh heh... So it's that kid Lin Heng... I knew it... Huh?!"
Elder Jiang was halfway through his sarcastic remark when he suddenly realized. He immediately widened his eyes and roared in an almost bellowing voice:
"Who!?"
As if that wasn't enough, he grabbed the lapels of the Longan Bureau member's clothes, breathing heavily, and continued to press:
"Who did you say!?"
"Lin, Lin Heng..."
The Longan Bureau member was startled and answered stammeringly.
At this moment...
The other old professors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences quickly understood.
Good heavens!
If it was Lin Heng... then it wasn't much of a problem.
They quickly calmed their agitated states.
Everyone fell silent, deep in thought.
However, the Longan Bureau member cautiously glanced at Elder Jiang and then subconsciously asked:
"Mr. Elder Jiang, when can we expect delivery of this drone?"
"You have to give us an answer, at least..."
Hearing this, Elder Jiang contemptuously curled his lip.
"Delivery? Deliver what?"
"Isn't there an existing finished product?"
"Doesn't Lin Heng already have the technology readily available?"
