Chapter 2314: Chapter 2134: In the Spotlight The next day. Morning. With a lot of attention, those who turned on the live broadcast reminder clicked in at the pop-up window. The first thing that came into view was an overhead view of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Only to see. On the wide helipad, there were six Jumbos of different colors. At first glance, they looked like UAVs, but the traction vehicle next to them provided a scale. "Wow!" "Big!" "So much bigger than I imagined!" "Looks great!" "I like that white one because it looks just like the UAV I bought two days ago, and then after less than an hour of play, it left me." "Haha!" "..." In the live broadcast room. The audience marveled. In the UAV footage, ground crew could still be seen, looking very small in front of the helicopter. At this time, the picture suddenly cut. Simultaneously. A female voice spoke: "Hello everyone, welcome to the live broadcast room." "Before the test." "Let me first introduce the ’Tianpeng’ multifunctional helicopter to you. The helicopter adopts a composite propulsion mode, with four rotors and four turbines." "The cantilever can be rotated and adjusted according to the flight posture." "..." As she spoke. CG animation was being played. In the footage. The four rotors can rotate 180 degrees, with more than horizontal freedom, while the four turbojet engines are even more amazing at 360 degrees. Suddenly. Many people blurted out, "Damn!" The 180 degrees of the rotor were enough, but a 360-degree propulsion device, at least among current aircraft, none could achieve this. Only the one in front of them. Then. In the picture. The four originally X-shaped cantilevers flapped like wings a few times, allowing them to clearly see the flight posture of the cantilevers at different speeds. "Holy cow!" The next scene. Was even more shocking. The forward-facing cockpit head rotated back to the original tail, then reversed propulsion, making an emergency deceleration and U-turn. No turn was needed. This scene. Dumbfounded many people. "So daring, can it be played like this?" "Awesome." "This design is amazing!" "..." This reminded them of something---robots, where the forward neck directly rotated 180 degrees, and the limbs also rotated a full circle. The picture looked so similar. Everyone hurriedly posted in Moments, especially some military and equipment enthusiasts, and the group chat was almost exploding as they called friends to come and watch. ... On-site. Control tower. A row stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass. The design was very ’generous’, so it wasn’t crowded. Many people even held telescopes. "Report, the six aircraft have obtained flight clearance and can begin testing." "Hmm." The person in charge nodded. "Begin." "Yes." With those words. The propellers of the aircraft started spinning, and the ground crew quickly evacuated. Within less than half a minute, the six aircrafts were in the sky. After a hundred meters. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The rotors turned, propelling the aircraft forward. ... In the live broadcast room. Seeing the six aircraft fly into the blue sky in a ’human’ shape, the audience was also excited. This spectacle was satisfying to watch, with many focusing on the upper right corner. Where the current speed was displayed. Fifty. ... One hundred. ... One hundred fifty. ... Two hundred. Just when they thought it wouldn’t increase further. "Whoosh!" The numbers continued to change. Two hundred thirty. ... Two hundred fifty. ... Two hundred eighty. ... Three hundred. "Such a large size flying at three hundred? Such powerful power, plus the blades, absolutely have outstanding performance, otherwise it wouldn’t be sustainable." "Impressive!" "..." Wanting to fly fast. Besides rotational speed, there’s the wing blade, like when a person uses a soft knife to slash air, it would snake around. High rotational speed requires stronger blades. Even in Europe and America, this is cutting-edge materials. "Should be the limit by now!" "Maybe." "..." However. At this time, the numbers on the screen jumped again. Three hundred one. ... Three hundred two. ... Finally. Stopped at three hundred six. Suddenly. The group exploded with chatter. "Whoa, three hundred six? Didn’t see that wrong, did I?" "No." "Such powerful power." "..." Many military enthusiasts were baffled. They prided themselves on knowing all about the military equipment of various countries, but such a helicopter was indeed rare. The key was it’s too heavy. Subsequently. They saw the aircraft cruise at this speed, with the screen constantly switching between shots from the six aircraft, so it wasn’t boring. One thousand meters. ... Two thousand meters. ... Four thousand meters. ... Each altitude was flown around for a total time of one hour and twenty minutes, by then, most people were a bit fatigued. However. For enthusiasts, it was never tiring to watch. Gradually. A speculation began to spread. That the current power only used four rotors, while the four thrusters hadn’t been used, making them very curious. Don’t know. If those four were backups, or auxiliary. If the former. It means they won’t be used simultaneously. The latter means they can stack, but the video didn’t mention, so opinions varied. Time reached eleven twenty. The aircraft was close to reaching the base overhead. "What’s next?" "Don’t know." "There wasn’t any test directory or anything." "Exactly." "But isn’t that more exciting? The fun of the unknown." "..." "Look quickly." Suddenly. On the screen, the four originally vertical thrusters started rotating. Just when they thought there would be a power switch, a burst of "boom~" sounded. ’Whoosh!’ The aircraft accelerated again. Three hundred seven. ... Three hundred eight. ... Four hundred two. ... Many in front of the live broadcast screen were dumbfounded, shouting in their hearts: Whoa, turns out it’s stacked power, eight power, this is going against the natural order! Afterwards. The speed increased again. Finally. Stopped at four hundred sixty kilometers per hour, re-entering cruise mode, the four cantilevers also shifted to the form previously seen in the short film. --- Expressway mode. Before. At three hundred six, the form was still the medium speed ’wood’. "Pure rotor cruise speed, three hundred sixty kilometers, full power cruise speed, four hundred sixty kilometers," this belated narration. Made people grind their teeth in frustration. "Why didn’t they say so earlier." "Annoying." "Really... surprising!" "..." Complaining, but eyes still glued to the screen, the helicopter in its sweep-wing state, looking like a speeding swallow, was very fascinating. ... At twelve forty. The conventional power cruise test lasting two hours and forty minutes was completed. At this moment, people coming in and out of the live broadcast room never dropped below five million. Many people were just hanging around. Even. Some expressed a bit of malicious intent: can’t miss the moment of failure. To this. No one bothered to respond, while enthusiasts continued to discuss what other potential this aircraft had to be tapped, or how it could be modified for military use. Unfortunately. No matter how they analyzed, it couldn’t be modified. If it were to be significantly modified, it might become a different model, yet that didn’t stop them from liking this aircraft.
