Chapter 2313: Chapter 2133: A Little Discouraging Very quickly. The airplane was up in the sky. Honestly. Quite a few people experienced firsthand watching piloting from a first-person view. I have to say, it felt pretty good—the cockpit had glass on three sides, offering a broad view. Clear skies. Snow-capped mountains. The earth. ... Stunningly beautiful. At this moment. The airplane was only ascending slowly. Otherwise. They wouldn’t be standing in the cockpit; the ascent speed was similar to an elevator, and everyone just felt a slight overloading as the airplane reached a certain altitude. "Alright." "Everyone, return to your seats; we’re about to accelerate!" Upon hearing that. Everyone reluctantly left the cockpit, returned to their seats, and buckled up their seatbelts. Soon, they saw the rotors outside the window tilt forward, and a sense of thrust hit them. And then. "Whoosh!" The thrust became more intense. Following that. They saw the scenery outside the window start to recede. Despite this, the ride was not bumpy, and the screen out front, similar to a high-speed rail, showed the speed. Thirty. ... Forty. ... Sixty. ... Eighty. Finally. The speed stabilized at a hundred kilometers per hour, beginning to cruise. At this moment, Tang Qing’s voice suddenly sounded in the cabin, "Transparency mode will be activated in ten seconds." "Huh?" "Transparency mode?" "What’s this?" Upon hearing this. A few of those unfamiliar were surprised, but there were those who understood. "Transparency?" Chai Ren muttered. Could it be. He recalled a pretty cool functionality at the Tang Family Manor, and ten seconds later, when everyone saw that the walls inside the cabin revealed the ground. "Ha!" Chai Ren chuckled. Indeed. It matched Tang Qing’s bold style, quite impressive. "Wow!" "What’s going on?" "Whoa!" "..." Several people who hadn’t experienced this were startled, but seeing Chai Ren and others remain so calm, they blushed and quickly calmed down, although the surprise inside couldn’t be suppressed for a long time. Damn! This is so thrilling. Transparency? It feels as if you’re above glass—it’s extraordinary, Tang Qing really knows how to play, even in a test flight. However... it’s quite interesting. "Don’t be nervous, just a small technology." "Not bad, you’ll get used to it." "..." Zheng Lin and a few others smiled and comforted them. They looked down. At the snow-covered ground, although there wasn’t much to see, it was still their first time experiencing this on an airplane; previously, it was only seen on TV. Meanwhile. "Clack!" Tang Qing came out of the cockpit. "Not flying anymore?" Chai Ren asked. "We’ve already taken off; the rest is just cruising—nothing requires me. The three drivers can handle it perfectly." Of course, Tang Qing wouldn’t just sit around. He went to the wine cabinet. Sss! Took out a few bottles of ice-cold fruit wine and poured a glass for each of them. "Are you... drinking and piloting?" Someone muttered. To that. Tang Qing smiled. "I only handled the takeoff; the rest they’ll manage. No worries." Everyone heard him and agreed; they had just seen a ’crew member’ enter. "Snap!" That person got slapped on the back of the head. "Are you stupid?" "Tang Qing is famously immune to alcohol; never mind this little bit, even with bottles of the stronger stuff, he’d still be clearer than you." Pei Yang jokingly scolded. This guy. Clearly doesn’t know Tang Qing’s capacity—it’s unbelievable. Honestly, Tang Qing’s excellence leaves hardly any room for criticism. If anything. It would be... too excellent, kind of overwhelming. He can make money. He can paint. He knows music. He can sculpt. He can cook. He can design. ... Now. He even knows how to pilot airplanes, besides things like childbirth which challenge people’s ’skills’, it seems there’s nothing Tang Qing can’t or won’t learn. Forget it. You can’t compare with a genius. ... On the ground. Eight military vehicles drove into the base. The crowd was amazed. Tang Qing actually ascended to the sky, but seeing the somewhat science fiction setup at the control tower, they weren’t particularly astonished since their own command center was even larger. Furthermore. They could watch satellite imagery. It’s true. Tang Qing himself owned a few satellites. But those were communication satellites, not reconnaissance ones; they didn’t have the capability to photograph ground targets and track objects. Such satellites were closely controlled by all countries. Suddenly. The screen on the wall flickered. Tang Qing appeared on the screen. "Hello, leaders." Greetings from Tang Qing. "Boss Tang, you must be cautious." The leader in charge remarked helplessly, astounded at Tang Qing’s audacity to casually board his own test airplane. Should the airplane crash. Huh? Upon seeing Pei Yang. The leader was further speechless; Pei Yang also noticed him, raised his wine glass, and smiled slightly, but didn’t greet him as they were familiar, it was his little uncle. He’s a high-ranking officer at General Armament Department. "Alright." "Rest assured, my airplane is very safe." Tang Qing remarked lightly, having invested significant effort in its safety; even if all eight engines failed. The people inside could still land safely. However. This skill hasn’t been demonstrated in a rehearsal yet, as doing so would cause the cabin to detach from the aircraft, essentially scrapping one. "Okay." At this moment. Another group of people arrived from behind. Upon seeing them. They were the provincial leaders, although not familiar, introductions made it familiar. After exchanges, learning Tang Qing took to the skies, many couldn’t help but feel helpless. Well. You can do what you want when you’re rich. This time. Even though it wasn’t a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Tang Qing’s presence and invitation intrigued them, though the design and manufacturing weren’t based in Xin Province. Still. The testing was here, and that was enough. Just like now. Gaining national attention. Locally, it’s a significant matter of pride, and they certainly hoped for everything to go smoothly. Seeing Tang Qing dare to fly himself, they felt more assured. ... Forty minutes later. "Rat-a-tat!" The helicopter landed firmly on the helipad, exiting the airplane, Chai Ren and others were very satisfied, they felt it was akin to riding a private jet. At this time. The people below had been waiting for a while. Provincial. Military. Safety Bureau. The three factions arrived one after another, even the Tang Family members came. Upon disembarking. After greetings. "Boss Tang, can we go up for a ride?" A member of the military eagerly asked, they were here primarily for technology unlike the other two parties. "Of course." "One hour per group, just enjoy." "Amazing." After speaking. A dozen researchers boarded, upon seeing the interior, they momentarily froze; was this a helicopter? It looked entirely like a private jet and they hesitated to sit down. Five minutes later. The airplane ascended. "The noise is a bit much." Zheng Lin remarked, the sound outside was quite loud, but acceptable—it’s an airplane after all, they always have noise. Unless. There was some anti-gravity technology. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 Moreover. Even with anti-gravity technology, high-speed air friction generates loud sounds, achieving external silence is impossible, defying physical logic. "Fair enough, but inside it’s truly comfortable." Pei Yang said. "Indeed." "..." Chatting. The group followed Tang Qing in touring the base, with him as the guide, explaining everything casually, alongside journalists. Provincial ones. Serving as tonight’s news materials, without interviews.
