Chapter 235: The Aircraft Actually Grew Legs!

"What is that thing?"

"UFO????"

The leaders at the base were also stunned after receiving the radio feedback from the two pilots.

A strangely shaped drone or model aircraft would have been barely acceptable.

But what's with seeing a UFO?

Are aliens running to Earth to test new models and actually going through the process of reporting materials?

Isn't this just playing around?

"It really looks like a UFO!"

"This… I don't know how to explain it. The footage is being transmitted back."

The two pilots reported simultaneously into the microphone.

This square aircraft was indeed a bit too advanced, to the point that they didn't know how to describe it.

So, after reporting to the base several times, the two J-10C fighters, which were conducting close reconnaissance, simply turned on their external camera equipment to let the base judge the situation for themselves.

When the real-time transmission of the captured footage was loaded onto the big screen in the base command center.

The cubic aircraft, flashing green signal lights in the dark night, made everyone in the command center gasp!

If it didn't look like a big Rubik's Cube, and instead had a disc or cigar shape, it would probably look exactly like the legendary UFO!

Including the usually calm base负责人 (fùzé rén - person in charge/head), when he saw the super sci-fi appearance of the flying cube, and the blue plasma turbojet stream ejecting outwards, he was also shocked and exclaimed: "Vector aircraft? Such a large size… Can domestic private enterprises manufacture this thing?"

The military is more aware of the technical level of domestic private aviation manufacturing enterprises than anyone else.

After all, they had just conducted several nationwide industrial technology surveys.

Such as Julilock's aircraft carrier arresting gear being exported and then sold domestically, Guangwei Fishing Tackle's fishing rods using the most advanced carbon fiber, and Shunfeng's cargo drones being recruited and modified into Twin-Tailed Scorpion drones, etc.

After several industrial surveys, the valuable technologies that could be excavated from the private sector had basically been explored.

How could the sudden appearance of a sci-fi aircraft similar to a UFO not surprise and delight people?

Meanwhile, the pilots of the two J-10Cs, who were flying alongside the flying Rubik's Cube, were asking in the communication channel: "Report to base, data collection is complete, please issue the next instruction…"

But before the two pilots could finish speaking, the big Rubik's Cube, which was performing vector trajectory flight, right in front of everyone's eyes.

With a course change and acceleration, it shot away into the distance.

The white shockwave that rippled from its surface made all the commanders in the base dumbfounded!

"Sonic boom?!"

"This civilian aircraft can actually cruise at supersonic speeds?"

"Such an obvious special-shaped structure and angle of attack, how much wind resistance would it have to endure?"

"Measure the speed! Quickly catch up and measure the speed at close range!"

The base command room erupted.

The shock that the cubic aircraft brought them came wave after wave.

And the two pilots who received the order to track and measure the speed were equally shocked when they saw the strange cube enter supersonic cruise, and immediately added afterburner to chase after it.

You should know that the J-10C is not a traditional old J-10. After being equipped with the more advanced WS-10B Taihang engine, its maximum cruising speed can reach nearly Mach 3.

But even with such a speed of 3 times the speed of sound, they still couldn't close the distance with the cubic aircraft in front.

This scene made all the base commanders staring at the live footage explode.

"Powerful! Big! Brick! Flying!"

"Real powerful big brick flying!"

"The materials from the air traffic control department say that this demonstrator uses an electric jet engine?"

"Has domestic private aeroengine development reached this level?"

"J-10C can't catch up even at Mach 3?"

"If this can be transferred to our fighter jets…"

The commanders and those in charge were all excited and rubbing their hands.

They even made several phone calls to inform the fighter jet research and development departments such as Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation of the situation.

As for Chen Jue, after seeing two unknown-numbered aircraft approaching on the flight control radar, he immediately moved the joystick and propulsion engine to pull the cruising speed of the flying Rubik's Cube to its peak.

The reason he did this was also because he was afraid that his flying Rubik's Cube prototype would collide with some other passenger plane.

Since he saw them, he would stay away to ensure the safety of both parties. There was nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, he was also collecting the cruising data of the flying Rubik's Cube while accelerating.

With the constant fine-tuning of the nine vector nozzles, the posture changed from the original upright position to a conical state.

The windward side changed from the large flat side of the cube to a pointed corner.

When the afterburner was turned on, it became like the Fifth Angel Ramiel from the EVA anime in the eyes of outsiders.

Both sci-fi and unbelievable.

After chasing for more than 200 kilometers like this, the two J-10Cs behind finally contacted Chen Jue, who was frantically fiddling with the joystick, through the public channel.

"Call sign FTMF-01, this is the air traffic control of a certain base of the Eastern Air Force. Our department now orders you to slow down, stop the test flight, and accept the guidance of our air traffic control!"

As soon as the air traffic control order came out, Chen Jue and Wang Han on the flying Rubik's Cube were both taken aback.

"Brother Han, are you sure you submitted the application materials?" Chen Jue asked with a black line on his face.

"I submitted them! If we didn't have the procedures, our reckless testing would be an unauthorized flight, and we would have been shot down by the coastal air defense department long ago." Wang Han scratched his head, equally dumbfounded.

He glanced at the external monitoring screen.

After seeing two J-10Cs approaching for reconnaissance and giving light signals to the crew inside to guide them to prepare for landing, everyone on the flying Rubik's Cube realized that the first test flight seemed to have become a big deal.

…

At more than 3:00 in the morning, Chen Jue, who was originally having a great time playing in the sky.

Under the escort of two J-10Cs, he slowly landed the flying Rubik's Cube prototype into a certain closed base.

When the cubic aircraft maintained an extremely smooth speed and landed vertically on the runway of the base.

The nearby ground crew and base leaders all looked like they had seen a great treasure, their eyes full of light.

"This vertical take-off and landing is awesome!"

"Looks more stable than the F35 Joint Strike Fighter."

"But this aircraft doesn't seem to have landing gear. Once it lands, it can't be moved?"

"Straight up and down, and can also do vector maneuvers, not having landing gear doesn't seem to be a big problem." Everyone discussed.

However, considering the issue of confidentiality, to prevent spy satellites passing overhead from capturing photos and leaking the news in advance.

After seeing the flying Rubik's Cube land smoothly, the base's ground crew still issued an order to Chen Jue and the others to enter the hangar.

This surprised Chen Jue: "Are we parking in the hangar?"

"Must enter! Can't your aircraft do vector translation? If you can't park in the hangar, temporarily shut down and wait for our crane traction equipment to come and drag you in," the ground crew replied.

"Then there's no need for such trouble, I can let it in now," Chen Jue said and opened an emergency button on the control panel.

Along with the button being pressed, a burst of mechanical hydraulic door activation pressure relief valve sounds suddenly came from inside the flying Rubik's Cube.

Only to see four small openings with a specification size of 1 meter open on the four sides of the cubic aircraft, and four thick Rubik's Cube arms extended from them.

Then, in full view, the four Rubik's Cube arms, like spider legs, supported the ground with force, and lifted the flying Rubik's Cube, which weighed tens of tons, off the ground in place.

Along with the "peng ci" "peng ci" of the robotic arms swinging, the sci-fi-like civilian aircraft in front of them quickly moved into the hangar.

This scene directly made the ground crew and base leaders dumbfounded!

"Holy crap!"

"This… Isn't this the Terror Drone from Red Alert?"

"The aircraft actually grew legs!"
