Just like the "Manhattan Project" that developed the atomic bomb in the last century, at that time, it was a big deal to throw money at any cost, and one thing is very important, that is, the scientists at that time gave a 100% yes answer.

It can be successfully developed.

Without this guarantee, the United States would never have spent two billion dollars at that time, which was the dollar in 1942.

"Yes."

Vera responded to the Minister of Defense almost in a stated tone, and without the slightest hesitation, the air in the conference room could not help but fall into a brief freeze, which surprised everyone present, and the other two scientists present were stunned.

Eagle Sauce's Minister of Defense suddenly lifted his spirits, "God, this is definitely the most exciting moment so far, how long will it take to develop it?" ”

Kane and other high-ranking U.S. imperialists who attended the meeting were glad that the United States also had a genius.

Vera replied: "Three years at the latest, but it needs $100 billion, maybe more, but Loma doesn't have that budget, and the money is enough, maybe within two years." ”

Eagle Sauce's Minister of Defense immediately said: "I vouch for my personal reputation and pension, and now I can also give you a positive answer Ms. Vera, as long as you can guarantee that the fusion core is 100% controllable, even if it is 1 trillion US dollars, those old guys in Congress will unanimously approve and allocate funds for your project." ”

He has this self-confidence, the flight of the Tianjian fighter on the Huaguo side, I don't know how many people's self-confidence has been broken, and now he is reaching out to the Congress to ask for money, and he doesn't even need to say the reason, he just needs to say how much money, you have the final say, as long as you can ensure that it is effectively targeted at that damn rabbit, you can allocate as much as you want, smash the pot and sell the iron and sell the bottoms.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's end the meeting, Ms. Vera, thank you for coming here and bringing exciting news." The U.S. Secretary of Defense looked at the time, and it was already past 22:00 in the evening.

Vera immediately left the table when she heard this, and silently left the conference room without saying hello.

Seeing her turn around and leave with a little arrogance, Kane and the others were quite helpless, but they didn't mind, now Vera's sister paper has the posture of becoming the hope of the whole village of Eagle Sauce, it can be said that the whole United States is facing Gu Cheng on the other side of the Pacific, except for Vera who can have the opportunity to compete with him, there is no other one who can fight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the hope of the whole village is actually not an exaggeration.

As for assassination and the like, I didn't think about it before, and now I don't dare to do it, and it is impossible to succeed, how high Eagle Sauce's protection level is for Vera Lopez now, it is clear that Gu Cheng over there will not be bad.

……

At the same time, Shangdu's side is now at about 10 o'clock in the morning of the East Eighth District time, and the Heavenly Blade fighter is on its way back.

The area around Changfeng District is exactly the vicinity of Tianqing Industrial Zone, which is crowded with people at this moment, gathering a large number of photography enthusiasts, all of whom are waiting for the moment when the heroes of the Sky Blade Fighter will return.

And Gu Chengcheng was in Tianqing Industrial Zone, and while waiting for Meng Na to come back, he was answering a phone call, and He Su had just called.

"Can high-energy weapons pose an actual threat to the Sky Blade Battle?"

Hearing the inquiry on the phone, Gu Cheng replied curiously: "How do you say this?" Do you mean laser weapons? ”

"Yes, the military has also set up a temporary expert group to discuss weapons that may restrain the Sky Blade fighters, combined with the actual situation in North America, and the final result of the discussion is that the Americans are likely to use two ways to deal with the Sky Blade fighters, one is that they also master the space vehicle, and the other is high-energy laser weapons."

"It is more likely that the research of the intelligence services is relatively biased towards the latter type, because there is also a genius scientist in North America who is as famous as you, that is, Vera Lopez, who happens to be an authority in the field of high energy, and the intelligence shows that she is particularly obsessed with high-energy weapons."

"Internal analysis believes that compared with aerospace aircraft, North America may take the lead in making a practical breakthrough in the field of high-energy weapons."

Gu Cheng was not happy when he heard this, and replied: "What do you mean that I am as famous as Vera's little beauty?" The gap between her and me is at least a Pacific Ocean, and I eat her to death, and she is a little sister in front of me. ”

For Gu Cheng's arrogance, He Su had long been surprised, and immediately responded with interest: "Oh? Are you sure you're going to target her? ”

Gu Cheng said without thinking with a confident smile: "Vera Little Beauty really wants to use a high-energy laser to target me, shoot casually, just to charge me with energy, the extra-large power bank is still free, Lao Mei will be so determined that she will be autistic and doubt her life." ”

"Of course, Tianjian 1 does not consider the issue of defending against high-energy lasers at present, but this is a prototype, not a finalized machine. Since I want to prevent lasers, then I will improve the structure, so that the external structure of the body has the effect of light screen reception, so that she can use the laser to shoot hard, anyway, send energy, the more the better. ”

"However, in this way, the cost may be doubled by about 30 billion."

"Well, if it's laser-proof, right? Understand. ”

After ending the communication with He Su, Gu Cheng can basically conclude that the rhythm of wanting to pit Eagle Sauce to death is too ruthless, and frankly Gu Cheng can't stand it anymore.

At the same time, on the eastern coastline of Shangdu, Meng Na was driving a Sky Blade fighter all the way from a height of 30,000 meters above the sea to cruise at a hypersonic speed of Mach 15.

For about half a minute, Menna manipulated the Sky Blade fighter to quickly reduce the flight speed to subsonic speed, and dived all the way to Shangdu, followed by a sonic boom that exploded the sky, and the fighter broke through the speed of sound again, but after being at an altitude of 30,000 meters, the speed never exceeded Mach 2.

Hypersonic navigation at an altitude of 10,000 meters is a potential threat of bird impact, although this probability is very low, but once this kind of accident occurs, even the structural strength of the Sky Blade fighter cannot withstand it, and even if the face is black and encounters a bird flock impact at twice the speed of sound, it is within the safe impact range of the Sky Blade fighter.

After entering the sky above Shangdu, the speed of the Sky Blade fighter dropped to subsonic speed again, and it flew towards the Tianqing Industrial Center in the Changfeng District.

At this moment, a fighter controller who had been waiting in the Changfeng District until now saw a silhouette appearing above the sky dome, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Sky Blade Fighter, Sky Blade Fighter, Sky Blade Fighter is back!" ”

"In the direction of the Center Tower!!"

A large number of people gathered outdoors or on the roofs of buildings in the Changfeng area, including media reporters, all of whom were carrying the camera equipment in their hands and pointing in the same direction and the same sky.
