Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 220 Second Form!
Humanity still lags behind the Trisolaran civilization in technological advancement, but the White Emperor fighter's specifications far surpass those of any fighter from the previous era. Zhang Beihai was well aware of this, and, dispelling his disappointment, asked...

"Chief Ding, besides its speed, what other capabilities does this fighter jet possess?"

Thinking about what he was about to say, Ding Yi immediately regained his confidence and said,

"The biggest breakthrough is in engine technology, followed by the weapon system, which carries 20 conventional nuclear-powered air-to-air missiles, codenamed: Dark Arrow!"

"Because the White Emperor fighter jet can accelerate to one-fifth the speed of light, the initial launch velocity of the Dark Arrow is extremely high,"

"In addition, the powerful thrust of the Fusion-4 thrusters allows its flight speed to increase to a quarter of the speed of light within half an hour after launch,"

"According to the model calculations, even a high-speed water droplet can be hit!"

"Equipped with low-yield antimatter bombs, it's no exaggeration to say that a single missile could shatter continental plates! Twenty of them could completely level all the mountains on Earth!"

hiss!
This description was quite vivid. Everyone automatically translated it into the phrase that a single White Emperor fighter jet could destroy a planet the size of Blue Star, and they all gasped in shock!
Luo Ji rubbed his arms and said,
"Old Ding, is this thing really that terrifying? If it accidentally hits Earth, wouldn't we be finished?!"

Ding Yi shrugged.

"There's no way around it. The higher the level of the energy material, the more monstrous the burst damage. Just think about the difference between TNT and a nuclear bomb; the destructive power is hundreds of times greater!"

Luo Ji looked somber.

"If the Dark Arrow missile really hits Trisolaris, will we still have any room for maneuver with the Trisolaran civilization?"

"If a single White Emperor fighter jet has such terrifying destructive power, what about hundreds or thousands of them launching simultaneously? Could they possibly shatter a planet?"

Ding Yi scratched his head and said,
"Theoretically, it cannot be destroyed, but it is certain that the planet that is hit will no longer be able to support life, and it may take millions of years for the geological activity brought about by the energy storm to subside."

Jiang Fan sighed.

"Well, this can't be used to fight against Trisolaris either, it doesn't fit our strategic plan."

Luo Ji thought for a moment,
"It's not impossible, as long as we don't use it. Let Chenzhou decide."

In any case, the Trisolaran civilization doesn't know the extent of Earth's technological development. Unless a human from Earth personally intervenes, they won't suspect anything about humanity.

Zhang Beihai agreed with the suggestion.

"It might come in handy at a crucial moment."

Ding Yi quickly revealed the last function to everyone.
"In addition to these two points, the White Emperor fighter jet has another characteristic: unlike traditional fighter jets, it must be in flight to be combat effective."

Luo Ji immediately asked,

"What do you mean?"

Ding Yi chuckled.
"Literally, the White Emperor fighter jets can still fight even if they don't take off."

Everyone looked on with curiosity.
"Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me in detail."

Ding Yi pointed to the fighter jets and said,
"The White Emperor fighter jet has two modes: one is the flight mode shown here, and the other is the war robot mode."

Those present reflexively thought of a certain movie and exclaimed in surprise.
"Transformers?"

Ding Yi shook his head and then nodded.
"It's not that exaggerated, but it's close. Many parts of the White Emperor fighter jet's fuselage are movable, allowing for minor deformation operations."

Luo Ji instantly transformed into a child seeing a toy, exclaiming excitedly,

"Old Ding, what are we waiting for? Let's get started with the demonstration!"

Ding Yi nodded slightly, directing the hangar engineers to evacuate. One by one, the guide rails on the floor appeared. The pilot jogged over, saluted, and then asked excitedly for instructions.
"General Jiang, all preparations are complete. Requesting boarding of the Baidi fighter jet."

Jiang Fan hadn't expected to have a role to play, so he smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Then let's go in!"

The group followed the path taken by the evacuation team to the best viewing spot.

As soon as the pilot entered the White Emperor fighter jet, the neural communication system was activated instantly. A holographic projection screen appeared in front of Jiang Fan and the others, showing the third-party perspective of the pilot.

Ding Yi spoke to the screen.

"Xiao He, begin your rehearsal!"

The driver gave an OK sign and said in a deep voice,

"White Emperor fighter jet, perform self-check!"

The sounds of various cylinders opening and closing, engines starting, and mechanical operations rang out alternately. Several minutes later, the White Emperor fighter jet's system gave a notification.

"Self-check complete, no abnormalities found."

The driver stretched his neck and fingers, then pressed the start button heavily.

"Then, activate the second form and enter human-machine mode!"

The White Emperor fighter jet in the center of the hangar began to transform.
The position of the engine exhaust at the rear has been split in the middle, becoming two cylindrical legs.

The short, stubby wings on both sides unfold like folding umbrellas, extending into two cylindrical arms.

After the four limbs appeared, the White Emperor fighter jet pushed itself up from the ground, changing from a horizontal to a vertical posture.
It was also at this time,
In the video, the cockpit where the driver is located begins to rotate 90 degrees. As the seat moves backward, he changes from a sitting position to a standing position, with only his lower back still connected to the sympathetic nervous system.

The entire process was incredibly smooth. The second form of the White Emperor fighter resembled a humanoid machine composed of five uniformly thick cylinders.

The engine nozzles are located below the two rounded legs, and dark openings are also visible at the ends of the two arms.

The driver raised his hand and swung it like a giant windmill, and the White Emperor robot did the same.

"Adaptation is good, delay is less than 0.03 seconds. Requesting the opening of the dome for off-site testing!"

Ding Yi heard the driver's voice and replied.
"Yes, the dome is opening!"

The steel-framed ceiling above the White Emperor fighter jet retracted to both sides, revealing the tightly closed hatch.
Xiling's notification sounded.

"Spacecraft door number 13 is ready to open. Please proceed to the launch waiting area!"

The driver looked up and whispered,
"Anti-gravity engine activated!"

The anti-gravity system inside the White Emperor robot began to activate, slowly lifting the towering robot, which was over ten meters tall, into the air.
Once they reached the height of the isolation platform, the pilot took a step forward, and the White Emperor robot also took a step forward, coming to a steady stop in the launch area.

Ding Yi said to Jiang Fan,
"President Jiang, let's go to the outdoor shooting location."

Jiang Fan nodded, and the group, along with all the engineers, quickly moved away.

The outdoor viewing platform is separated from the space area by only one layer of transparent glass, offering a very wide view, making it a popular spot for children to come and see the stars.

Door number 13 opened.

The White Emperor Robot, no longer hesitant, activated its somersault engine, spewing scorching white flames from the bottom of its legs, propelling this war machine out of the experimental station at extremely high acceleration!
The pilot smirked; this feeling was amazing. He circled the White Emperor fighter jet several times in the deep sky, finally hovering slowly in front of the observation deck like a god descending.

"Chief Ding Yi, President Jiang, everything is normal. Requesting a demonstration of the weapon system."

The voice came from the holographic screen, and Jiang Fan replied with a smile.
"Let's begin, let's open the eyes of us old folks."
