Chapter 38: The Heavenly Gate Opens, the Luan Bird Emerges
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Just as everyone was cheering enthusiastically, the distant giant aircraft suddenly emitted more and clearer engine sounds, interrupting the cheers and drawing everyone's attention back.
Then, everyone was captivated by the scene before them: under the blazing sun, the enormous aircraft, propelled by its thick tail flames, soared straight up like an arrow, piercing the clouds.
During this time, regular-sized fighter jets, like flares, were ejected one after another from the giant object.
Just as those fighter jets were about to be pulled to the ground by gravity, their tails suddenly emitted thick and long plumes of flame.
"Bang bang bang~"
A series of loud bangs followed the appearance of the fighter jets' exhaust plumes. Then, everyone saw a white halo appear around the rear half of the fighter jets, as if the fighter jets were wearing ballet skirts.
In the blink of an eye, those planes overtook the huge aircraft and disappeared into the horizon.
"Cough cough~"
Just then, the director coughed forcefully a few times, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the bureau chief took out a sealed document bag, tore open the seal, and then took out the documents inside with trembling hands.
Then, while quickly browsing through the documents, the director read aloud to the documents and the crowd in a trembling voice: "The Luan Bird Space Carrier is the first generation of airborne mobile carrier base independently developed and produced by our country. It is 242 meters long, has a wingspan of 684 meters, a maximum takeoff weight of 12 tons, a flight altitude of more than 1 millimeter, a cruising speed of Mach 5 in the atmosphere, and a maximum speed of Mach 17 in the atmosphere."
其武器配置有32门MMI-GAU2啄木鸟·76mm近接防御机关炮,4门MMI-M15旗鱼·磁轨炮,4门M100鲸鱼·等离子收束光束炮,42组大型多用途飞弹垂髮单元,并可搭载88架玄女无人空天战机。
The Xuan Nu unmanned aerospace fighter jet is 24.7 meters long, has a wingspan of 14.1 meters, a height of 5.72 meters, an empty weight of 23.9 tons, a standard mission weight of 47.2 tons, a maximum takeoff weight of 51.9 tons, an atmospheric cruising speed of Mach 2.34, and a maximum atmospheric speed of Mach 4.8.
其武器有1门MMI-M15旗鱼·磁轨炮,1门MMI-GAU2啄木鸟·76mm近接防御机关炮,10枚各类高超声速飞弹。」
After reading out the publicly available parameters for the Luan Bird and the Mystic Maiden, the Director took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim, "We no longer have to worry about not having air superiority!"
As the director exclaimed, the live broadcast switched back to the Luan Bird space carrier.
At this moment, 88 Xuan Nu unmanned aerospace fighters flew around the Luan Niao aerospace carrier, forming a huge formation.
Under the blazing sun, the massive fleet of aircraft, radiating dazzling light, quietly and gradually disappeared from the world's sight, as if it had never existed.
"The exhibition performances have now concluded. Please leave in an orderly manner."
After Da Mo finished his closing remarks as per procedure, he couldn't help but immediately turn around and excitedly interview the Director: "Director, are the Luan Bird Sky Mothership and the Xuan Nu Unmanned Sky Fighter the weapons and equipment in the Nantianmen Project?"
Now that the Luan Bird Sky Mothership and the Xuan Nu Unmanned Sky Fighter have appeared, does that mean that our Nantianmen Project has been fully realized?
Also, are those mechs in Zhenyue the same mechs from the Nantianmen Project?
Oh, by the way, I just heard you say that the Luan Bird Space Carrier has a beam cannon, right?
Is that beam cannon an energy weapon? How powerful is it?
Are we already capable of deploying energy weapons?
Also, I heard about electromagnetic guns.
Has our electromagnetic railgun technology matured? Can it be used in other weapons and equipment?
Also, this is the first time I've heard of the other weapon models of the Luan Bird space carrier.
Are those weapons specifically designed for the Luan Bird Sky-going Mothership and the Xuan Nu Unmanned Sky-going Fighter?
How powerful do you think the Luan Bird Space Carrier is?
"..."
Seeing that Da Mo's barrage of questions had made everyone who was about to leave return to their seats, and that the live stream was flooded with comments, the bureau chief said with difficulty, "I was just reading from a script. How would an ordinary retired old man like me know the specifics?"
"Director, please answer this."
Before Da Mo could even speak up to persuade them, the directors and cinematographers couldn't help but chime in, "Director, why don't you share a few words with everyone?"
"Director, the viewers in the live stream all want to hear you say a few words."
"Director..."
"..."
Just as the director was about to refuse again, Zhou Luming suddenly pulled up a chair and sat down in the live broadcast camera: "Since everyone wants to chat so much, then I'll say a few words to you."
However, I'll say GG before we start talking.
Our company has opened direct-sale stores on major online shopping platforms, offering a range of cultural and creative products including various mecha, Luan Bird space carriers, and Xuan Nu unmanned space fighters. Interested customers can visit our direct-sale stores on these platforms to purchase our products.
"Mr. Zhou, you..."
"..."
Seeing Da Mo looking at him with a troubled expression, Zhou Luming smiled and said, "I participated in the research and development of both the Luan Bird Sky Mothership and the Xuan Nu Unmanned Sky Fighter, and I was one of the core researchers. So, I should still be qualified to say a few words, right?"
"..."
Da Mo paused for a moment, then hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "I think it's getting late, it's time for lunch. Let's talk again next time."
As soon as Da Mo finished speaking, the Director replied with a serious expression, "Live broadcast ends..."
"Don't be nervous."
Before the director could finish speaking, Zhou Luming interrupted him with a forced smile, looking directly at the camera: "Many of my 'friends' know about my affairs, so there's no need to keep it a secret."
I also really enjoy making friends, and I would love to welcome some friends to settle here permanently because of me.
Of course, we are a civilized country and value reciprocity.
To express our gratitude for "those friends settling down," we will also allow some people to "settle down" in the places "those friends" came from.
"..."
It's unknown how many people understood, but both the Director and Da Mo did. They exchanged a glance, feeling a mixture of anger, relief, and confusion.
Then, Da Mo declined Zhou Luming's offer again, saying, "Mr. Zhou, I'm not a professional host, much less a professional weapons and military commentator. Besides, it's really getting late, so let's talk another time."
When the bureau chief saw Zhou Luming looking at him, he casually made up an excuse to refuse, saying, "President Zhou, let's not delay everyone's meal and rest."
Moreover, this place isn't quite suitable either.
"Let's find a place to sit down and have a proper talk when we have the chance."
"..."
Zhou Luming pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed time to eat and rest now."
After saying that, Zhou Luming said to the camera, "How about this, I'll find a place after I finish eating, and I'll go live again at 3 pm to chat with everyone."
Now, those who should eat should eat, and those who should rest should rest.
