Chapter 333 Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Chapter 333 Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Wow! What the hell is that plane?"
Thousands of meters in the air, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, enduring the enormous G-force brought about by the plane's acceleration.
He had only lightly pushed the throttle, and he found that the plane's speed had directly exceeded Mach 3.
Mach is the ratio of speed to the speed of sound.
Mach 3 is three times the speed of sound, which, in terms of car speed, is roughly equivalent to a speed of over 3000 kilometers per hour.
Such a huge acceleration actually puts a great strain on the pilot's body.
Normally, piloting an aircraft at this speed requires wearing an anti-G suit in addition to a helmet; otherwise, there is a high risk of dizziness.
Fortunately, Lin Chen's body had already been modified by the system, so even without the anti-gravity suit, he could grit his teeth and persevere.
I even managed to stick with it for a while and got used to it.
"Goodbye Americans, if you won't let me go back, I'll fly back myself!"
Having experience flying a plane once, Lin Chen quickly confirmed the direction coordinates of the Dragon Kingdom through the instrument panel.
He smiled and waved towards Nevada, which was already out of sight, then stepped on the gas again, making the aurora truly become an aurora, instantly disappearing into the vast night.
Because it is a stealth strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the US radar could not detect the aurora signal at all.
Fortunately, the positioning device installed on the aircraft allowed them to confirm the aircraft's location through positioning signals.
However, as the aurora signal flew out of the United States at an extremely high speed, the United States was in an uproar.
The military's most advanced aircraft was stolen.
Such a serious situation can no longer be concealed by Area 51.
Therefore, they had no choice but to report the news.
The seriousness of the situation also led Americans to be more efficient than ever before.
The White House received the news half an hour after the incident.
"Snapped!"
The golden-haired leader slammed the sugar-free cola in his hand onto the table.
His face was extremely ugly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"This is a serious breach of duty! Has the American military become so incompetent that a top-secret aircraft could be stolen?"
Before the golden-haired president, the Secretary of State and the Vice President, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, remained silent, too terrified to utter a word.
"Mr. Secretary of State! Go and get the Pentagon people here... No, I want them all here! I want them to explain to me in person why they are so incompetent?"
The president roared angrily at the Secretary of State in front of him, making the latter turn pale.
Fortunately, someone knocked on the door at that moment.
"President, the Pentagon people are here."
"They've got some nerve, coming right to our doorstep! Let them in immediately!"
A moment later, several men in military uniforms walked in.
Leading the group was the Pentagon's Secretary of Defense.
He wiped the sweat from his brow as he rushed over and said, "President, we've investigated and found out that the person who stole the plane wasn't a spy, but a wanted criminal that the CIA and FBI are after! It's all because of their incompetence that a wanted criminal managed to steal our plane!"
"Wanted criminal? Which wanted criminal?"
"It's that Chinese man, Lin Chen! Our pilots have confirmed his wanted poster; it's him!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
"A PhD from China is capable of taking away our most advanced reconnaissance aircraft?"
The vice president standing to the side looked disdainful, thinking that the defense minister was making an international joke.
This vice president also served in the military.
He once wanted to be an air force pilot.
Unfortunately, he was only a high school graduate and failed the initial assessment, so he ended up joining the Marine Corps.
But that doesn't stop him from knowing how stringent the conditions are for flying a plane.
Even they themselves couldn't do it, so how could a PhD from China, someone who just wields a pen, possibly achieve it?
This answer isn't just a bluff, it's an insult to their intelligence!
But the Minister of Defense said, "But Mr. Vice President, we found a car at the scene of the incident, and the fingerprints collected on it match the fingerprints collected when Lin Chen entered and exited the country!"
"WHAT?"
The vice president's eyes widened immediately.
"Lin Chen! Lin Chen! Lin Chen!"
The commander suddenly shouted Lin Chen's name three times in anger, which frightened everyone present so much that they dared not say another word.
"Connect me to the CIA!"
The on-site secretary quickly made a phone call.
A moment later, the voice of the acting CIA director rang out in the office.
"Commander-in-Chief, are you trying to find out about Lin Chen? Our people have already sealed off the borders to Canada and Mexico. Give us some more time, and we will definitely be able to capture Lin Chen."
"Catch him? Catch him my ass! Lin Chen has already escaped!"
Upon hearing the president's furious roar on the phone, the acting director was taken aback, somewhat confused.
"President, have you heard some rumors? Our people have already sealed off the border. Unless Lin Chen can fly, he can't leave the United States!"
"He can fly!"
The president roared, "While you and your bunch of useless agents were sealing off the border, Lin Chen ran to Area 51 in Nevada, stole our most advanced reconnaissance aircraft, and flew away!"
"Is this what you and your bunch of useless agents accomplished after wasting enormous amounts of manpower, resources, and money?"
After a long pause, the acting director finally said, "Mr. President, I need some time to confirm what you're saying."
"One day. I'm only giving you one day. After one day, I want to know exactly how all of this happened! Otherwise, you and your ex can go back to your hometown and sit in rocking chairs!"
Just as the president was venting his anger on the acting CIA director.
Beside them, the Secretary of State and the Vice President were also questioning the Secretary of Defense in hushed tones.
"Is it possible to shoot down that plane? It's probably heading towards China, right? Can we use the troops from our East Asia base to intercept it?"
"impossible!"
The Defense Minister shook his head: "This aircraft is the military's most advanced experimental aircraft. Not only does it have a speed exceeding Mach 10, but it can also fly at an altitude exceeding 100 kilometers! Our aircraft and missiles simply cannot intercept it!"
"And even if we could intercept it, I wouldn't recommend it! This aircraft is the military's only prototype right now. If we lose it, our new aircraft development program could be stalled for two to three years!"
"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you want us to do?"
Faced with the Vice President's questioning, the Defense Minister pitifully said, "If possible, could we contact the Chinese government and ask them to return the plane?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Before the vice president and secretary of state could speak, the president’s shrill scream rang out from behind them.
"How could the great United States do such a thing? I will never allow you to do something that damages the dignity of the United States!"
