631: What? The chief designer wants to test fly it himself

After listening to the report from the Aerospace Administration Director, the entire hall fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

All the high-level Leaders furrowed their brows, contemplating countermeasures.

Not long after, he was the first to ask, "Can it be shot down?"

Peng Tao replied helplessly, "Shooting down another country's satellite is equivalent to declaring war!"

The Commander of the Northern Military Region slammed the table and roared, "Are we just going to let them launch satellites right under our noses, and we can't do anything?!"

Everyone was speechless.

According to current international law and international space conventions, although the other party launching satellites in the East Hemisphere is a borderline act, it does not fundamentally violate international rules.

Moreover, they publicly claim that the Starlink plan is to improve the quality of global satellite communication network services, and all the satellites launched are communication satellites!

Furthermore, these are launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX company, a purely commercial activity.

Of course, no country would believe his lies, yet it still conforms to international rules, leaving you no reason to refute.

At this moment, Commander Wu said solemnly, "They've come knocking on our door, so what if we start a fight?"

"It concerns national security and national dignity; even if it means a complete fallout, we will not hesitate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most of those present nodded in agreement.

And at this time, a high-level Leader said with a slightly cold tone, "Everyone, over at Fishing Sea Island, the Tian Ting Heavy Industry Plan is progressing rapidly, with good news coming in constantly."

"Are you sure you want to fall out with them at this time?"

"Listen to my advice: the more crucial the moment, the more we need to remain stable and distinguish what is more important!"

This Leader did not explicitly say the words "endure in silence," but everyone understood in their hearts.

The Tian Ting Heavy Industry Plan is a scientific research project concerning the nation's destiny, and it is currently at its most critical juncture; there can be no mistakes!

No matter what drastic reactions the other party has, it must not affect the normal progress of this plan!

They must take all protective measures!

The conference room fell into silence once again.

Just then, the great Leader sitting in the very center spoke up.

"Let's talk first!"

"Don't forget, Comrade Ren Yi's plan is still a series of interconnected schemes."

The Leader's words made everyone's eyes light up.

The Commander of the Northern Military Region slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

The Leader continued, "The other party's negotiation team has once again approached us for discussions; what they currently want to exchange for is all the core technology of the mecha."

"We might as well offer a negotiable condition, but during the negotiation period, they must suspend the launch of Starlink satellites in the East Hemisphere!"

Commander Wu expressed his approval, "Although it's just buying time, this method is currently the most appropriate!"

The Leader said faintly, "What we lack most right now is time!"

After some discussion, the Leader's decision received unanimous agreement from everyone.

Everyone also sighed in admiration, that the mecha supporting technologies developed by Ren Yi, just two of them, could serve as key national policies to solve the nation's current technological predicament!

It shows that top-tier technical talents are the nation's most valuable asset!

The meeting continued, and after discussing several other topics, the Leader's secretary rushed into the conference hall, delivering an urgent report from Fishing Sea Island.

The Leader only glanced at the beginning, immediately unable to conceal his joy, and stood up abruptly, saying, "Everyone, great news!"

"The Tian Ting Heavy Industry Plan has made breakthrough progress!"

"What!!"

Everyone was instantly startled, then overjoyed!

The Leader said, beside himself with joy, "The urgent report from Comrade Hao Nan states that the first prototype of the cosmic fighter jet was officially assembled this afternoon!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference hall erupted in an uproar.

"Impossible! It's only been three months, and it's already built?!"

"Last month, I heard it was still in the sub-development stage; how could it be assembled in just a few days!"

"Is the technology mature? Has it passed wind tunnel tests? At such a critical time, we must not act too hastily!"

The Leader read the report carefully, becoming more and more excited as he read.

But when he saw the end of the report, his face suddenly changed dramatically, and he blurted out, "What, how dare that kid Ren Yi?!"

The others exchanged glances, unsure what content the Leader had seen.

Someone quickly asked, "Leader, what happened?"

The Leader passed down the report, his face grim, and said, "That kid Ren Yi plans to conduct the ignition test flight first thing tomorrow morning!"

"And he wants to be the first test pilot!"

What?!

Everyone turned pale with fright.

"No!"

"Absolutely not allowed!"

"He must be stopped!"

Commander Wu stood up directly.

A national treasure-level scientific researcher wanting to test fly a newly developed prototype was simply suicidal!

After all, no one had tested whether the aircraft's performance was reliable!

The Leader immediately made a decision.

"The meeting is adjourned; other topics will be postponed!"

"I'm going there personally right now!"

...

Early the next morning.

The wind on Fishing Sea Island carried a chill.

After autumn, the sea breeze clearly showed the temperature difference between day and night.

Today was exactly the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month!

A time for family reunion!

At the test flight ground of the Aerospace Aerospace Base on the island.

The first prototype of the "Avenger" cosmic fighter jet was quietly parked in the center of the field.

Hao Nan looked excitedly at the huge prototype, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, and said with a trembling voice, "We did it, Master Ren, we really did it!"

The others were also filled with excitement.

During these three months, everyone felt as if they were dreaming!

Every day was incredibly hard yet fulfilling, encountering almost no technical difficulties.

They just needed to desperately reproduce the design drawings one-to-one, and then suddenly, success was announced?!

Three days ago, the fighter jet entered its final assembly stage and was completed within 24 hours.

Only then did everyone wake up from their dream!

They also realized that this was not a dream!

They had personally brought this dream into reality!

Ren Yi looked at the visibly haggard and thinner crowd, bowed and thanked them, "Everyone has worked hard these past three months!"

"Being able to successfully complete the assembly of the first prototype of the cosmic fighter jet on this beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone's contributions are invaluable!"

Everyone responded excitedly:

"Master Ren, you are the one who worked the hardest!"

"Master Ren, if it weren't for you, even if we worked ourselves to death, it would be in vain!"

"That's right, this is the greatest scientific research project I've ever participated in, and it's all thanks to you!"

Everyone looked at Ren Yi as if they were looking at a deity in the scientific research world!

Their eyes were filled with nothing but admiration!

"Alright, we're all family, so let's cut the sentimental talk."

Ren Yi smiled and waved his hand, then walked over to Zhihui, who was dragging two boxes, and said, "Captain Chen, put on the armor, and I'll put on a set too."

"The Human Bionic Mecha has excellent performance, it's perfectly suitable as a flight suit!"

"You drive the cosmic fighter jet and take me for a spin in the sky."

Hearing that he could test drive a fighter jet straight out of a sci-fi movie, Chen Zhihui was as excited as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

"Alright!"

As the captain of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, a king among soldiers, he was naturally very familiar with fighter jet piloting.

Chen Zhihui also didn't worry about safety at all; as Ren Yi's head bodyguard, having been influenced by him, he now had a blind trust in Ren Yi.

If Ren Yi said it was okay, then there would definitely be no problem.

However, when the others heard Ren Yi's words, their expressions changed dramatically!

What did he mean?

It hadn't even been test flown yet, and he, the chief designer, wanted to be the first to try it?

If anything went wrong, then they would be eternal sinners!

Hao Nan quickly stepped forward, blocking Ren Yi and saying, "Comrade Ren Yi, you must be joking, right? There's no way it can be you doing the test flight!"

Professor Ai also sternly spoke to stop him, "Ren Yi, this prototype has just been assembled and hasn't undergone any inspections yet. You absolutely cannot go up there yourself!"

The others also came over to dissuade him.

"That's right, Master Ren, it's too dangerous!"

"Let the professional test pilots go; Master Ren, if they die, they die, but you cannot!"

Chen Zhihui: "..."

Although Ren Yi had mentioned his idea of test driving the fighter jet himself yesterday, everyone had taken it as a joke at the time, and few took it seriously.

After all, which chief designer of a fighter jet needs to test fly it himself? Even if you're willing, the organization wouldn't agree!

Now seeing that Ren Yi was actually serious, they were so scared their souls nearly jumped out!

"Why aren't they here yet!"

Hao Nan urged, anxiously looking outside the base.

Hao Nan, who followed Ren Yi every day, understood Ren Yi's character.

So he had already guessed last night that this scene would happen, because whatever Ren Yi said, no matter how outrageous, he would always follow through!

Therefore, last night he used his authority to send an urgent report to the Leaders above.

Hoping that the Leaders could suppress Ren Yi's crazy behavior!

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't I know how the cosmic fighter jet I designed performs?"

Ren Yi said with a smile while putting on his Human Bionic Mecha, "What's more, even if I let you inspect it, do you know how to inspect it?"

These past two days, while assembling the cosmic fighter jet according to the manual provided by the system, he also conducted detailed inspections of various components, ensuring that no errors would occur.

With the system as a cheat, it was a hundred times more reliable than anyone else inspecting it.

But the others didn't know the specifics and continued to dissuade Ren Yi from doing anything foolish.

"Alright, everyone, stop trying to dissuade me, listen to me!"

"Do you understand cosmic fighter jets, or do I?"
