Chapter 138: Congratulations on Another Breakthrough in the Southern Heavenly Gate Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
I’ve proofread the conversation, preserving the format as requested. Here are the changes and corrections I made:
A few minutes later, Tang Rui climbed down the ladder.
The teaching staff holding onto the ladder at the side looked distressed.
This guy was brash and unpolished.
He wrapped the corners of the ladder with his handkerchief, afraid that the ladder would scratch the surface coating.
But this pilot was good.
His big feet stepped on the edge of the cockpit and even rubbed against it twice when he came down.
“Look at you. How old are you? Can’t you be more mature in doing things?” Professor Yu said helplessly after Tang Rui came down.
“Professor, don’t worry. My flying skills are absolutely fine. Not to mention, with his own fighter jet, it was convenient to go anywhere,” Tang Rui said indifferently, completely not taking it seriously.
The others couldn’t understand.
Even he still didn’t understand it himself.
He didn’t know if there were any problems with the items produced by the system.
Not to mention, he had Red Lotus’s support.
Even if he wanted to crash, Red Lotus would take over the control system and send him back to the ground safely.
It was safer for him to fly a fighter jet than to take a civilian flight.
Unfortunately, no one believed him.
“Anyway, I can’t control you. You should be careful. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Cheng, and this is Professor Guo. They are both members of the project review team,” Professor Yu didn’t mention this again and began to introduce the two Professors beside him to Tang Rui.
Hello, Professor Cheng. Hello, Professor Guo,” Tang Rui hurriedly greeted them. These two were big shots and also leaders in the domestic satellite field.
“I’ve finally met you in person this time. I’ve only heard your name in meetings before.”
“It’s really thanks to the new materials produced by President Tang’s company. From what 1 know, many projects have made breakthroughs.”
“Not only that, I heard that before the new year, the group of people from Microelectronics started to tackle key problems. They didn’t even go home for the new year and already produced a lot of results.”
Tang Rui stood at the side, listening to the three big shots chatting.
Let’s put it this way. If there was one more person beside him, that person would have to go to the secret department for tea tomorrow.
However, none of the four people present had this worry.
They could chat casually.
Everyone’s level of confidentiality and authority was sufficient.
They chatted for less than twenty minutes.
Military vehicles drove into the campus of the University of Technology and arrived at the stadium.
There was nothing else to say.
The military people built a simple hangar for the fighter jets.
Tang Rui was stunned.
“Let’s go back to the guest house. Don’t stand outside in the cold wind,” Professor Yu said as he tightened his down jacket.
Tang Rui was not cold at all. He wouldn’t feel cold even if he was thrown onto the moon, let alone here.
“Professor, wait a moment. I’ll get my luggage.”
After saying that, he went to the belly of the fighter jet, opened the built-in bomb bay, and took down the suitcase mounted on the missile launcher.
This operation… The people around them were stunned.
Back at the guest house, Tang Rui accompanied the three big shots to drink tea and chat, and only returned to his room to sleep after nine o’clock.
He gave Li Shuyao a call before he went to bed.
Then, he took out the learning console, put the patch on his temple, and fell asleep.
He was asleep.
But this matter was not over yet.
A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon could cause a tropical storm.
Not to mention, such a large fighter jet was flying at Mach 6.5 in the sky.
The airflow that was stirred up was not something that the butterfly could compare to.
When Tang Rui was flying, he had the Longbo lens on. Therefore, the ground radar station and satellites could scan his flight trajectory.
This data was soon placed on the desks of the higher-ups of each country.
For a moment, the whole world knew that the sixth-generation fighter jet in China had already begun its test flight.
They were all shocked.
That was a sixth-generation fighter, not a fifth-generation one.
According to the specifications of the sixth-generation fighter disclosed by various countries, it had a supersonic cruise speed of Mach 3 and a maximum speed of Mach 6. It was equipped with a self-circulating (variable circulation) engine, a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 20, and a combat radius of more than 4000 kilometers. Its stealth performance was three to five times that of the fifth-generation fighter.
This was the benchmark for the basic parameters of the sixth-generation fighter.
There were only three countries, or two and a half countries, in the entire world that had the ability to research the sixth-generation fighter.
TWo countries relied on research and development, while half of the country relied on archaeology.
This was something that everyone agreed on.
The relevant departments had also grasped the research progress of the sixth-generation fighter in these two and a half countries.
America was the one with the fastest development progress.
Pratt & Whitney’s self-circulating engine had been tested on the ground seven years ago.
The thrust-to-weight ratio was definitely not above 20, but the self-circulation system was almost done.
After all, they still had a strong technical reserve in this area.
As for the sixth-generation mech’s body research, America had three technical verification mechs, but they were not finalized yet.
As for the domestic side, the self-circulating engine originally needed three to five years to have a technological breakthrough.
However, according to the latest news, there was a breakthrough in engine technology.
The design of the body was already known. It was an integrated body design without a tail.
The design of the last half had been completed in the 1990s, and the blueprints had been dug out from the warehouse.
However, due to the lack of research funds, the progress in other aspects was very slow.
This was the information everyone had.
However, today’s incident made them feel that this information was definitely not right.
He had to dig out relevant information again.
Of course, they were just watching the show. After all, they did not have the ability to research sixth-generation fighters.
But America was different.
He had thought that his progress was the fastest and that he would be able to produce a real sixth-generation prototype within three years.
In the end, he was hit in the head.
The domestic sixth-generation fighter jet had already been tested.
It was a very arrogant test flight.
How could this work?
He immediately arranged for people to exaggerate his family’s situation and release it.
Whatever the lift coefficient, adjust it up.
It was three in the morning in China.
America announced in a high-profile manner that their sixth-generation fighter had been developed and was currently undergoing the final tests.
Once the test was completed, it would be assembled.
They even gave some specifications for the sixth-generation fighter, which stunned the audience.
The next morning, Tang Rui got up and went to the dining room for breakfast.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Professor Yu and the others had already finished eating.
He casually ordered some food and found an empty seat. He played with his phone while eating breakfast.
“F*ck!”
In the end, when he opened the military fan forum, he saw America’s message that morning.
The sixth-generation fighter was out.
Even the parameters were out.
However, why did these parameters seem a little off?
“Red Lotus, run a simulation test according to the aero layout in the photo and see what the lift coefficient is.”
Tang Rui didn’t believe it. With America’s sixth-generation aircraft’s airflow layout, the lift coefficient could reach 2.5. What a joke.
The White Emperor he created only had a lift coefficient of 2.8.
However, he had duck wings and forward-swept wings. How could it be the same as backward-swept wings?
There was no such configuration.
It was all thanks to the central lift system. How could it be above 2.5?
“Master, the simulation is complete. The lift coefficient is barely 2.0.”
“As expected, he’s bragging again.”
After breakfast, Tang Rui came to the conference room unsteadily.
The meeting began at 8 o’clock sharp.
At the same time, a message was posted on the official Weibo account of the Pi Pi Group.
“Congratulations on another breakthrough in the Southern Heavenly Gate plan. The White Emperor Space Combat Jet has been completely finalized and can be equipped at any time.”

One line of text, plus nine squares.
The photos inside had been edited.
But the style…
It couldn’t be said to be completely different from Tang Rui’s fighter jet, it could only be said to be exactly the same.
The comments below were also very interesting.
“If you believe it, you’ll be fooled.”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll mass-produce it..”
