I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 536 - 534 Barely Able to Drive, Right?
Fully developed? Were you studying from the womb? Even if that's the case, it's impossible for you to master so many disciplines to their extremes simultaneously!
The generals and weapons experts from the three countries were left dumbfounded by Zhang Menglong's words.
General Arthur was the first to break the silence, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started. The journalists and media friends from various countries are waiting for our display."
Zhang Menglong looked up and, sure enough, several helicopters were floating in the sky, with the logos of several well-known Kaibong television stations on them.
"Then we're all set for an eye-opening experience."
...
"The military display begins!" At a command, most of the aircraft carrier's deck was cleared, leaving a smooth runway, and three distinct fighter jets slowly rose from within the deck.
The national flags painted on them made it clear that these three planes belonged to their three respective countries.
"Let's start with us!" General Jin from Qingqiu Country nodded at the weapons expert surnamed Li.
"Begin the test flight!" Li Jianyi gave the command into the intercom.

The silver-white fighter jet on the far left immediately ejected two blue flames from its tail, and the fighter jet roared into the sky.
"This is our newly developed fifth-generation fighter jet, the NK-2 type, with an overall length of 18 meters, a wingspan of 13.5 meters, and a height of 4.8 meters, with a typical take-off weight of 2.1 tons."
"This is much smaller than the current fifth-generation fighter jets in service," General Qin nodded. "During combat, such size can greatly enhance its agility and maneuverability."
Li Jianyi nodded proudly, "That's correct. We've used a new type of metal material on the fuselage, which is highly durable and weighs only about 80% of the conventional alloy, significantly reducing the weight of the aircraft."
"It's quite fast, isn't it?"
"The cruising speed is 1.88 Mach, with a maximum speed of 2.37 Mach."
"That speed is even faster than the F22," as the first fifth-generation fighter jet in service, the F22 has almost become a standard for comparison among fifth-generation fighter jets.
"The turbojet propulsion device on the aircraft is all our own development, with a maximum thrust reaching 172 kilonewtons, and we've also adopted thrust vectoring technology, allowing the engine nozzle to deflect ±15 degrees vertically."
"Wow, these guys' technology is really not bad," Zhang Menglong believed that America's core technologies were definitely not freely given to Qingqiu, as those were the tools they used to feed themselves; at most, they would have provided some advice and guidance, but certainly with reservations.
However, the fact that they were able to develop power technology surpassing the F119 turbojet engine on their own, Zhang Menglong couldn't help but admire them, especially since their previous generation of fighter jets was far inferior to this one.
"Our NK-2 is equipped with 8 air-to-air rockets, and the latest power devices have extended its range to 120 kilometers, with the effective kill radius increased by 10% compared to our previous fourth-generation air-to-air missiles."
"It's just a pity that our research on stealth coating hasn't made much progress; it's still somewhat inferior to the technology used on your country's B2 bomber, with the stealth effect being only about 95% of the B2's."
This statement by Li Jianyi was actually a bit of boasting.
The B2 stealth bomber is a relic of the last century, yet up to this date, no country has been able to replicate the stealth technology it uses, which is of an incredibly high level of technical complexity. Achieving 95% of the B2's stealth capability essentially outperforms all other countries.
"This NK-2 model fighter jet is obviously top tier among the world's fifth-generation fighter aircraft, and even in terms of overall strength, it's slightly stronger than the F-22!"
As they looked at the stunned expressions of Huaxia's generals, Li Jianyi and General Jin immediately revealed smug looks. It seemed that the Huaxia people were truly shaken by their technology.
Although their J-20 once caused a worldwide sensation, after all, this is an era of constant technological updates. It appears that they have now been caught up by Qingqiu Country, otherwise, why would they show such expressions?
"Your country's NK-2 has indeed been eye-opening for us, but during this period, Kaibong hasn't been idle either," Professor Dongwu also gave the order for takeoff.
The Kaibong fighter jet didn't launch at high-speed like the NK-2 did. It first taxied at a relatively slow pace, and then incredibly, two nearly hundred-meter-long terrifying flames shot out of the plane's engine nozzles.
The speed almost instantly exploded, shooting out with an unimaginable initial velocity.
"This..." Li Jianyi's expression was somewhat dazed. This engine was very special; it required a period of power accumulation, but once fully activated, the instantaneous power could exceed 200 kilonewtons. Such an engine was still in a developmental phase in their Qingqiu Country.
The Kaibong fighter in the air maneuvered in an extremely eerie way, a clear result of this special engine. Its vector engines could produce almost double the thrust in an instant, creating a force that could change the direction of the plane in a moment—a terrifying level of maneuverability.
"This is our Yun-4 stealth fighter. Although our stealth capabilities are not as strong, the maneuverability has reached an extreme. The top speed can hit Mach 3, and the engine nozzles can pivot ±25 degrees vertically. It just requires a higher physical standard from the pilots. Only the most elite can tame it."
"Now it's our turn," General Arthur had been restless for a while. The black fighter jet pursued without falling behind, its speed surprisingly faster than the Yun-4.
"Our F-45 employs an unprecedented four-engine design! The top speed is Mach 3.5, and the turn capability has more than doubled due to the top and bottom array of engines!"
"Can your pilots withstand such intense acceleration?" weapon experts from Kaibong and Qingqiu asked in unison.
To increase speed, they could simply add more engines, but they also had to consider if anyone could fly the machine. The multiple g-forces from acceleration could be unbearable even for specially trained pilots.
"Our cockpit uses a buffering device that can reduce the force from acceleration by a third to a half, well within what pilots can endure," boasted the American weapons expert. This technology was their latest, and absolutely no other country could imitate it at present.
"Most importantly, we've achieved semi-automated operation," General Arthur said. "It's more accurate to consider this F-45 not as a fifth-generation fighter, but as a sixth-generation fighter in the making."
His words sent shockwaves through the room. Kaibong and Qingqiu were just stepping into the era of fifth-generation fighter jets, and here was the big brother already working on the sixth generation? Their confidence shattered in an instant.
Operated only by Artificial Intelligence, that's the hallmark of a sixth-generation fighter. Once fully AI-operated, there's no need to design with pilots in mind. Fighters' structural integrity will be the sole concern, allowing performance to increase exponentially!
Arthur glanced slyly at the expressions of Huaxia's generals who were extremely somber, even carrying a weighty atmosphere.
Internally, Arthur felt a rush of satisfaction. Huaxia people, weren't you swaggering arrogantly not so long ago? Wasn't your pride sky-high? All that is nothing, strength is what truly counts. Now, can't boast much, can you?
"I wonder, Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the performance of our latest fighter jets from several countries?" Arthur asked with a sarcastic tone.
"Well…" Zhang Menglong hesitated for a moment.
"Please feel free to enlighten us, Mr. Zhang. Speak freely," Arthur thought Zhang Menglong was so shocked by the massive performance gap that he was speechless.
"Then I'll speak the blunt truth," Zhang Menglong shook his head. "Your F-45, well… it's barely good enough to fly!"
