#722 - Chapter 722: A man will die for his friend! The epoch-making aerospace fighter, the J-40 test

"Are you sure you're not killing Li Zongrui?"

Xiang Yan nodded.

"Alright then."

Chen Hao glanced at Song Ying, who was still unconscious: "She's fine, but she won't wake up for a few more hours. Don't come with me this time—once she wakes up, she'll need psychological counseling and someone to be with her."

"Director Chen, I still want to go with you…"

"That's an order!"

"…"

Xiang Yan was stunned.

Before he could say anything, Chen Hao added, "Now that you two are together, you need a proper home—Dali, let's go."

Chen Hao and Shi Dali got into the car.

Even though it didn't delay things for too long and wouldn't affect the J-40's test flight schedule, he was still eager to see it.

After all.

He didn't get to see it in his previous life!

Watching the car leave, Xiang Yan picked up the unconscious Song Ying, thinking about finding a place to settle her down.

Li Zongrui's hand had been chopped off by him, and Song Ying was covered in blood.

She needed to change clothes.

She needed to be cleaned up.

Otherwise, she would be terrified when she woke up!

He subconsciously recalled Chen Hao's words.

'Now that you two are together, you need a proper home.'

Could it be that Director Chen wanted him to buy a house?

Live with his parents?

They were just boyfriend and girlfriend now—it wasn't appropriate!

Taking advantage of not going with Chen Hao this time, he decided to take Song Ying to buy a house.

As for money…

Not only did he have a very high fixed monthly salary at Hanteng Capital, but Chen Hao had also given him money privately several times—in the short time he'd been with Director Chen, he had become a millionaire, something he never dared to imagine before.

Half an hour later.

He took Song Ying to a hotel, wondering if he should help her change clothes himself or find a female hotel attendant…

Suddenly!

The phone rang.

"Who is this?" He pressed the answer button.

"Brother Xiang? This is Ma Dafa."

"Director Ma?!"

Xiang Yan was a little confused: "Are you looking for Director Chen? I'm not with him…"

With the industrial parks all over the country completed, Ma Dafa had already returned to Shanghai and was busy with urban demolition and construction with his wife.

Xiang Yan subconsciously thought that Ma Dafa was looking for Chen Hao.

But…

It was strange!

Why would Ma Dafa call him to find Director Chen?

The key was, how did Ma Dafa have his number?

"Director Chen called me and asked me to contact you," Ma Dafa explained.

"Contact me?" Xiang Yan was at a loss.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at…"

Xiang Yan reported the address and asked in confusion, "Director Ma, do you need something from me?"

He couldn't figure it out!

"Director Chen asked me to help you choose a villa."

Ma Dafa said, "I've already picked one out for you. I'll send someone to give you the keys later, and I'll have someone handle the property certificate later—Rose Garden, the best villa area in the first batch of completed communities."

The call ended.

Xiang Yan held the phone blankly, his tiger eyes gradually becoming moist.

At this moment, he truly understood the meaning of Chen Hao's last words.

He remembered when Gao Tianqiang violently demolished his house and injured his father, and he became a fugitive after killing someone in anger. At that time, he thought he was doomed.

He didn't expect…

That his fate would be completely changed after meeting Chen Hao!

"Director Chen…"

He only had one thought.

A scholar dies for his confidant.

If there was a need, he would be willing to die!

…

Shenyang.

Shenfei Test Flight Station.

The hangar door slowly opened, and Chen Hao stared intently.

In his previous life, limited by the difficulties of materials, he didn't get to see the J-40 until he died, let alone have the opportunity to see the test flight.

This life.

He had finally succeeded!

General Wang had also arrived and accompanied him throughout.

He could see that Chen Hao was very excited, which made him a little confused.

Before this, the commander had led countless projects, including many that were larger in scale than the J-40, such as nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

But…

He had never seen the commander so excited.

He certainly didn't know the significance of the J-40 to Chen Hao, which was a wish that spanned two lifetimes!

The hangar opened.

The sci-fi-looking fighter jet appeared before his eyes.

Its appearance was very different from known fighter jets.

Dorsal air intake!

Variable forward-swept wing!

J-40

The aircraft had no missile pylons.

There was no other reason.

Back then, the Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant directly entered the fourth generation from the 2.5 generation, using thorium-based molten salt reactors.

Later, with the help of the technology Chen Hao provided, the thorium-based molten salt reactor was miniaturized and moved to the domestically produced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Today!

The thorium-based molten salt reactor has been further reduced in size and has become the core power source of the J-40.

Didn't you see that the J-40's volume far exceeds that of the J-22?

After all, it was a nuclear reactor, and no matter how small it was, it couldn't be too small, so the size of the J-40's airframe almost caught up with that of a strategic bomber.

Nuclear power!

Nearly infinite range!

This meant that the J-40 could theoretically perform long-term, space-air integrated cruise and combat missions.

If conventional ammunition was used, it was, after all, just a fighter jet, and the ammunition it carried was limited.

Traditional ammunition must be abandoned!

Such as machine guns and missiles.

The fighter jet in front of him was only equipped with secondary weapons—a laser system.

Weren't the primary weapons still not developed yet?

Of course, the secondary weapons were also overturned by Chen Hao and turned into more powerful particle cannons.

But it had only just begun to be developed and could only be replaced by lasers for the time being.

"Where's the spacesuit?"

"Ah?"

General Wang was stunned for a moment, then said anxiously: "Commander, no!"

Was the commander going to test fly it himself again?

This was a joke!

The J-22 test flight was one thing, the commander was very confident in the technology and claimed that it was completely mature and the risk was very small.

But this time was different.

The J-40 took a long time to develop, and there had been a series of technical breakthroughs, indicating that the commander was not confident, under this circumstance… how could they let the commander take risks? Who could bear such responsibility?

Piloting was a high-risk job.

Test pilots were the most high-risk of the high-risk, known as people walking on the tip of a knife!

Chen Hao smiled and said, "You don't understand the J-40."

The J-40 was a space-air fighter jet.

One of its functions was to fight in space.

The cockpit was not only a control cabin, but also a space capsule itself.

To put it bluntly, even if the fighter jet disintegrated in the air, the space capsule could safely return.

Therefore, you have to wear a spacesuit to fly the J-40!

"But…" General Wang wanted to say something.

"With my current physique, plus the cockpit is a space capsule, there is no risk at all."

"Commander…"

"It's decided then."

"…"

General Wang was helpless.

He didn't understand Chen Hao's knot in his heart.

He didn't succeed in developing it until his death in his previous life, and he must be the first to sit on it in this life!

The main thing was that as a space-air fighter, its safety was far superior to ordinary fighter jets.

Let's put it this way.

With the J-40's intelligent system, even if someone was randomly found to test fly it, there would be no danger to life if it crashed.

Half an hour later.

Chen Hao, wearing a spacesuit, got into the cockpit.

Admittedly, he didn't succeed in developing it until his death in his previous life, but he was only trapped in terms of materials.

Chen Hao had long been familiar with other technologies besides materials.

Such as AI technology!

He was the leader of the research and development in this life.

"Little Star." He shouted.

"I'm here."

Suddenly!

Along with the pleasant voice, a figure appeared on the central screen.

It was a cute cartoon girl.
