I am farming in the real world

Chapter 247: A Different Airshow (3)

“Swoosh!”

The rapidly passing aircraft sent shivers down the spines of everyone who looked up to watch.

Putting aside the waverider design displayed during the low-altitude flyby.

The sheer speed, almost too fast for the naked eye to catch, was enough to shock all military enthusiasts!

Even a legendary test pilot like Sergei was taken aback by the speed exhibited by this waverider aircraft.

After all, this old gentleman is a evergreen tree in the Russian Air Force, having handled countless supersonic fighter jets.

Take the MiG-25 he flew in his youth, for example, a world-renowned legend of airspeed made of ‘titanium alloy + stainless steel’.

Relying on short bursts of afterburner, the MiG-25 could repeatedly break the Mach 3 speed record.

But at this moment, Sergei felt that even the peak speed of the MiG-25's improved version, which he had once flown intensely, could not compete with this waverider aircraft that flashed by.

It couldn't even catch up to the smoke trail left behind!

Because in the eyes of professionals like Sergei, this roaring aircraft definitely broke the speed of Mach 5 or more!

Due to the excessive speed, the time this aircraft spent in low-altitude flyby, allowing everyone to observe with the naked eye, was less than 2 seconds.

Those photographers with their black and white cannons didn't even have time to press the shutter!

Even if some lucky ones managed to capture it, they only caught a blurry afterimage due to the excessive speed and small size of the aircraft.

“Is this our new fighter jet?”

“It should be a drone!”

“This is so fast it's like a yo-yo, I feel like even air-to-air missiles can't catch up!” The photography area was in an uproar.

Some hardcore military enthusiasts with even more professional equipment even accidentally scanned this low-flying waverider aircraft with an infrared speedometer.

Looking down at the ‘7711.2 km/h’ displayed on the LCD screen, the whole person shuddered in shock, almost unable to hold the speedometer!

“Oh my god!”

“Mach 6.3?”

“This, this, this… What the hell is this?”

“Hypersonic drone?”

As soon as this speed value was shared, everyone present was stunned.

Including Li Mo, who was recording footage, he braced himself and squeezed into the crowd, wanting to grab the instrument data from that hardcore expert.

Because the speed of Mach 6.3 has broken the world record for drone cruising speed!

The only thing comparable to it is the ‘Near Space Wide-Area Aircraft’ being tested by some domestic teams.

But the problem is that their wide-area aircraft is still in the research and testing phase, and Chen Jue has already produced the real thing.

Moreover, he brought it to the airshow in one go to flex his muscles, directly dumbfounding a group of domestic and foreign military attachés!

… …

On several guest observation platforms at Jinwan Airport, several air force bigwigs with generals' stars on their shoulders were chatting with several Middle Eastern tycoons wearing headscarves.

Due to the rapid advancement of China's military technology in recent years, various novel gadgets such as intelligent drones, AI mechanical dogs, etc., have emerged one after another.

This Zhuhai Airshow, held every two years, has almost become a major exhibition site for China's export of military products.

Especially this group of Middle Eastern princes who ‘wear a piece of cloth on their heads and are the richest in the world’ are almost the main force of each Zhuhai Airshow.

In previous years, these princes came here to look around and take away whatever they liked.

After being the top spenders for several sessions, the princes felt bored and simply booked a booth in the C position of the main venue of the Zhuhai Airshow themselves.

This is a country with almost zero military industry and all weapons relying on imports, but they set up a booth and didn't sell anything, only saying that they were seeking cooperation with like-minded military manufacturers.

This series of骚 operations shocked the organizers of the airshow.

After all, the C-position booth in the main venue is only rented for 3 days, but the price reaches a ridiculous 20 million+.

Such a large amount of sincerity money was invested, which made the organizers have to pay attention to it and sent several bigwigs from the military sales department to accompany them.

After all, what restaurant owner would dislike big eaters?

If these top spenders are ‘served’ happily, wouldn't the funding for several domestic nuclear-powered aircraft carriers be secured?

It was just that after accompanying the princes to enthusiastically admire the J-20 Mighty Dragon that landed.

One of the Middle Eastern princes put down his binoculars and pointed excitedly at the waverider aircraft that flashed overhead and shouted: “Lin! You guys are really hiding good stuff!”

“This! Can this supersonic drone be sold?”

“As long as you are willing to sell, you can name the price!”

Looking at the princes' expressions of ‘we don't understand technology, but we respect technology’, the Major General Lin, who was in charge of air force equipment foreign trade, also looked strange at this moment.

Because this aircraft that suddenly flashed past does not seem to be in their pre-arranged program plan.

Moreover, drones with speeds exceeding Mach 6 can be regarded as national treasures.

Whether it is used for reconnaissance or equipped with combat components, it can serve as an integrated hypersonic integrated drone.

“I remember that our Chinese Academy of Sciences' MD-19 series wide-area aircraft is still in the verification stage, how come there are finished products at this time?” Major General Lin muttered in his heart, and hurriedly called a person in charge of the organizer to ask a few questions in detail.

When he learned that this ‘Shooting Sun’ aircraft, which was arranged for a low-altitude flyby performance, was actually manufactured by a domestic private enterprise, Major General Lin's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

“Is it a product of that Cube Group?” Major General Lin looked suspicious.

The person in charge nodded and replied in a low voice: “Cube Group is a special guest of this airshow and was given a wildcard opportunity for a performance program. I just didn't expect that President Chen would play it so big!”

Listening to the person in charge's complaint, Major General Lin appeared very calm.

The good things of this Cube Group have already obtained internal certification from the Navy, Army and Air Force.

It's just that in the presence of foreign military attachés and Middle Eastern princes, Major General Lin didn't want to reveal too many secrets.

He had to pull the princes aside with an apologetic face and explain: “Dear, this aircraft is a new type of electric-injection hypersonic drone developed internally. It is still in the test flight stage, and there is still a long way to go before formal mass production and service.”

As soon as these words came out, all the foreign military attachés present widened their eyes, thinking they had misheard.

“Electric injection engine?”

“Hypersonic drone?”

“These two technologies can actually be combined together?”

A sound of gasping for air suddenly sounded on the guest observation platform.

Those foreign military attachés looked like they had seen a ghost, sticking their heads out and looking outwards, wanting to take another look at the waverider aircraft that had just flown by.

On the contrary, the Middle Eastern prince who wanted to buy the product before showed a bit of displeasure after hearing this excuse: “Lin! You guys are always like this, you like to cover up good things for decades before you are willing to sell them to the outside world.”

“Such an excellent drone definitely has a very large market in our Middle East!”

“As long as you nod, money is definitely not a problem! We can still come up with hundreds of billions of green coins.”

Major General Lin's face was full of black lines when he heard this, and he was shocked by the豪气 of the big dog, so he hesitated for a moment and said: “Then… okay! I will help you introduce this manufacturer later.”
