System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan smiled as he listened to the analysis of the group of mad scientists.

"Oh? Mach 9? But it still can't pose a threat to the Black Bird."

Immediately, Chen Xuan picked up the satellite communicator and said to Bai Xue, "Behind you, below you, and in front of you, there are hypersonic interceptor warheads from the 600 and 900 anti-aircraft missile systems. Prepare to deal with them one by one according to the performance of the Xuan Bird."

"Yes, Snow White understands!"

You could hear that Bai Xue's voice was trembling; she was clearly very nervous and excited.

However, she already knew all the incredible capabilities of the first-generation Xuan Bird machine from Chen Xuan's memories, so she was confident.

But Bai Xue was still young. Although she was an excellent fighter pilot with two and a half years of training, it was the first time she had ever been locked on and bombarded by dozens of hypersonic missiles while piloting a fighter jet in the sky.

"The 14 Type 900 anti-aircraft missiles at the Jiangnan base are about to catch up with yours."

Chen Xuan said, "Activate the Xuan Bird's rapid mode."

"Yes!"

As Bai Xue finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the red dot on the military satellite radar of the South China Sea airspace disappeared, and then the red dot belonging to Xuan Niao appeared on another lightning display.

"Ah? Impossible!"

"Instantly accelerating from Mach 4.5 to Mach 8?!"

"How could the fuselage withstand such sudden acceleration without disintegrating?"

Although anti-aircraft missiles are fast enough, due to the limited amount of propellant in their thrusters, their pursuit range is only about 2000 kilometers. If they fail to reach and destroy a target within 2000 kilometers, the missile will trigger its self-destruct mechanism and explode at high altitude.

"I've shaken it off, whoosh."

At this moment, Bai Xue's excited voice also reached the Jiangnan Air Force Base.

"what?"

"My God, not only is the Black Bird alright, but the pilot's condition is also very stable?"

……

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Chen Xuan continued, "The second wave is anti-aircraft missiles from the army base. Because they are launched in mid-course, you can't outrun them with speed right now."

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "We've been off the plane for a few minutes now, and the focused energy system is sufficient. We should destroy the 12 anti-aircraft missiles 900 that are pursuing us."

"Yes."

at the same time.

Bai Xue, lying inside the Xuan Bird's cabin, immediately gave a command to the AI ​​on the control panel.

"Charging complete. Scanning for pursuing missiles. Intercept?"

"Yes!"

With the snow confirmed, the interception was completed.

The Black Bird, speeding along at high speed, has its entire shell covered in patches of light-gathering patterns, which begin to transmit the collected light energy to more than a dozen special reflective mirrors on its body.

Immediately, more than a dozen white beams of light, visible to the naked eye, shot out from all directions of the Xuan Bird's body.

Although the beam trajectories were different, they shared the same goal: to lock onto and intercept the four incoming missiles.

Bang bang bang! !

At an altitude of 1,000 meters, more than a dozen hypersonic warheads were simultaneously concentrated by four beams of light, and then exploded one by one in mid-air.

This scene occurred before Snow White could react.

Chen Xuan added, "The 24 missiles launched by the Type 055 destroyer have arrived. Activate the Xuan Bird's Gale Defense system!"

"Yes!"

Because the Type 055 destroyer was at the forefront of the interception, by the time a dense array of warheads appeared in front of the Black Bird, the speed had already reached Mach 8, which was too fast.

As soon as the 24 missiles appeared, Bai Xue received a notification about the trajectory changes.

"Activate the gale protection device!"

The moment the words were spoken, 24 hypersonic warheads collided with the Black Bird.

A series of dense explosions engulfed the Black Bird in flames.

This scene was captured by a naval satellite and transmitted back to the Jiangnan Air Force Base in real time.

When they saw the Black Bird in the footage being hit by 24 consecutive bullets, everyone in the satellite inspection room fell silent.

Everyone, including Elder Long, shook their heads and sighed, feeling it was such a pity. If the Xuan Bird could return, they believed that they would soon be able to understand its various capabilities and then formulate various plans accordingly.

Just then, Chen Xuan said into the satellite communicator, "Speed, penetration, and self-defense capabilities have been initially successfully tested."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, everyone looked at the satellite screen in shock.

When they saw the red dot that marked the Black Bird, everyone was shocked.

"Yes."

"Next, test the flight altitude and straighten the control stick," Chen Xuan said.

"Yes!"

A short while later, Bai Xue relayed back the actual altitude of the Black Bird.

"12000 meters from land..." Bai Xue's excited voice came through the communicator.

"Continue to push it up," Chen Xuan said expressionlessly.

"26000 meters above the ground, shall we continue to increase altitude?" This time, Bai Xue's voice was somewhat fearful, clearly indicating that 26000 meters was an altitude she had never reached before.

"Continue to improve." Chen Xuan's words stunned all the old men.

Are they going to continue? Are they trying to fly out of the atmosphere and into outer space?

"35000 meters above the Earth's surface, 36000 meters away, we are about to reach satellite orbit." Upon reaching an altitude of 35000 meters, Bai Xue was no longer afraid; in fact, she was quite excited, clearly having already witnessed the breathtaking scenery beyond Earth.

"Activate the high-pressure and extreme-cold protective energy shields, and replace the optical array power system..."

Chen Xuan calmly and slowly issued the order.

"Yes."

A short while later, there was a noticeable delay in the transmission of Bai Xue's message.

"At an altitude of approximately 40000 meters above the Earth's surface, the Black Bird has entered space."

"What kind of world is that?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile. "What's your impression of the galaxies and starry sky?"

It took about ten seconds after Chen Xuan finished speaking for Bai Xue's reply to come back.

"Looking back at the blue planet is... the fear of colossal beings; looking into the endless starry sky is... the fear of an endless abyss..."

Looking out at the endless, abyss-like deep space, the darkness that seemed to stretch on forever made Bai Xue instinctively want to cry, feeling incredibly lonely. But when she turned her head, she could see the orbiting satellites of various countries on Earth.

"Come back. This Xuan Bird is only a first-generation machine and can only appear at the edge of space for the time being."

"Yes!"

After responding, Bai Xue began piloting the Xuan Niao back.

Just then, several satellites flying over the Black Bird captured photos of its return flight. In particular, the five-star red flag totem on the back of the Black Bird was so glaringly obvious in the close-up photos taken by the satellites.

at the same time.

Inside a large, internationally-based private enterprise on a certain western continent.

"Wodefa? What's that?"

"Flying boat? Spaceship?!"

"Come quick! Look at this! Is this a picture sent back by Starlink?"

"Holy crap, could this be an alien invasion spaceship?"

"Wait, look closely, what about the graphics and text on the back of the spaceship?"

"Damn, why does this picture and text look so familiar?"

"Damn, isn't that the five-star red flag of Longxia?"
