Chapter 590: Chapter 391: Have You Ever Heard of a Palm Technique That Descends From the Heavens?
Time passed little by little.
In the blink of an eye, it was January 2nd.
In the research over the past few days,
the functionality of the helium balloon became more and more perfect,
and the scaled-down model test flights were also a great success.
Although Wang Ye repeatedly requested to proceed with the formal challenge as soon as possible,
it still took about two days to get the unanimous agreement of all the staff organizing the project.
After a long wait, finally, they decided to officially carry out the Celestial Palace Leap challenge on January 3rd,
and once this news was released, all employees involved in this project rejoiced,
and began to engage in promotional work.
Even though the Celestial Palace Leap project is an unprecedented extreme challenge,
without promotional efforts, it would be nothing more than playing house known to no one.
Therefore, promotional work has always been the most important task, although it is a double-edged sword. Simply put, promotional work is like an amplifier: if the final result is good, it will infinitely amplify the good side; similarly, if the final result is bad, it will also infinitely amplify the bad side.
So, while everyone was celebrating, there was also a hint of worry hidden in their hearts.
And the protagonist of the Celestial Palace Leap project, Wang Ye, appeared very calm,
Over the past few days, in the helium balloon manufacturing project, his contribution was undoubtedly the greatest. Just the massive workload of manually creating several tons of carbon fiber was enough to outshine everyone else. Not to mention, he kept offering advice and suggesting improvements to the manufacturing plan.
But compared to all the exhausted people around, Wang Ye still seemed full of energy. When everyone doubted he might fail the challenge due to exhaustion, Wang Ye maintained his normal routine and work, staying in an extreme state of terrifying clarity.
In fact,
over the past few days, Wang Ye not only worked on the maintenance and improvements of the helium balloon,
but his own training was not delayed one bit,
The area for manufacturing the helium balloon happened to be an uninhabited wilderness,
which was very suitable for his training.
So every day, no matter how vast the workload, he would spare more than ten hours for training.
Recently, Wang Ye also shifted his training focus from running to the Black Dragon’s Grasp.
This skill, which can enhance his attack power, has been his most valued training direction lately.
After battling once with the J-20,
Wang Ye realized that he not only needed extreme speed but also a sufficient one-hit kill attack method. His current attack power might be fine when dealing with the J-20, a war machine with high offense and low defense, but what if he needed to face more formidable armored war machines, or endless swarms of suicidal drones?
Could he still rely on brute force to destroy them one by one?
At this point, he needed a sufficiently swift attack method.
Black Dragon’s Grasp.
This was the best choice.
As Wang Ye continued training this skill,
he discovered that although this skill was simpler than most of the skills he had practiced before,
his attack power and speed were truly improving significantly.
Speaking of the Black Dragon State,
this gadget,
seemed to be the first transformation trait he gained through skills,
and as Wang Ye’s proficiency in the Black Dragon’s Grasp increased, he found the ferocity of the Black Dragon State and the attribute enhancements becoming more terrifying.
If initially, it could only increase his speed and attack power by fifty percent, now, when he fully unleashed the Black Dragon State and used the Law of Heaven and Earth to make his strength and body size surge, the speed increase soared from fifty percent to well over a hundred percent or even a hundred and fifty percent!
This meant that the Black Dragon’s Grasp was likely to become his major weapon and trump card,
such a percentage-based transformation skill isn’t common. And as his own attributes become more powerful, the upper limit of the percentage increase would become more outrageous.
For example, now, with his skeletal evolution, his body can support long-distance running at twice the speed of sound. When transformed into the Black Dragon State, he can run long distances at four times the speed of sound. So, if in the future Wang Ye’s speed increases to ten times the speed of sound, then in the Black Dragon State, he could move at twenty times the speed of sound.
Therefore, in terms of running training, Wang Ye has actually not slackened, but lately, the proportion of Black Dragon’s Grasp training has slightly increased.
Moreover, these past few days,
Wang Ye also learned from the internet,
that the domestic sixth-generation fighter jets have already started test flights,
which means that the production technology for sixth-generation fighter jets is probably ready for mass production, and prototypes for seventh-generation fighters might have already existed for quite some time.
According to the currently revealed information, the sixth-gen fighters have a three-engine configuration. Two turbofans plus a ramjet engine give the sixth-gen the potential to break through the atmosphere. With a maximum speed of Mach 5 and a cruising altitude above 20,000 meters, traditional air-to-air missile ranges and maneuverability become a laughing stock.
Furthermore, sixth-gen fighters can also command drone swarms to engage in coordinated attacks, so one sixth-gen fighter is not just a fighter alone, but countless combat units capable of launching strikes at any time. As a United States military expert put it, "The F-22’s confrontation with the sixth-gen fighter is like cavalry charging against a machine gun position."
This means the ten J-20s Wang Ye defeated just half a month ago, in front of this sixth-gen fighter, might not even be cannon fodder.
