Chapter 466

“Oh! No problem, you go ahead and get busy. I’ll just take a look for a while!” Lin Mo waved his hand, displaying a bit of a leadership vibe.
“Sure! Can I get you a bottle of water?” He Xiangling said pleasantly.
Seeing the complete gear he was wearing, He Xiangling wondered if it was all real. After confirming Lin Mo’s identity, she began to doubt whether this tactical armor was genuine; maybe it really was! Did he just come from the battlefield?
Had Director Lin come over right after completing a mission?
He Xiangling didn’t realize how close her guess was to reality.
“No need, I’ll take a look myself!” Lin Mo shook his head, not wanting to disturb the work of the National Defense Star staff.
With little time left before the exhibition opened, the exhibitors in each area were completing their final touches. The more they prepared, the better their chances of standing out among the 2000 display booths.
The brightly colored displays looked stunning, but that was only for customers and visitors; the exhibitors knew that the battle drums of war had already sounded, and a large-scale air battle was about to unfold, resulting in a brutal scramble for orders that would drive everyone into frenzy.
An aerospace exhibition always had more wolves than sheep. The exhibitors that lost orders in the last Zhuhai Airshow were sharpening their edges, preparing to make a come-back.
Heavyweights like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Sukhoi, MiG, Dassault, and Northrop Grumman would be the main suppliers for fighter jet orders.
As for Hindustan and its meager combat power of 5, it was merely there to make up the numbers, either trying to attract the attention of less discerning small nations or mercenary companies looking to buy a few cheap planes for show.
Ding!
Lin Mo didn’t have time to check out the beauties casting flirtatious glances at him; he heard a soft beep from his watch.
You have a new message! Please check!
Oh?
The watch controlled by the gold giant dragon was the real smart device, able to automatically provide corresponding strategic services based on its environment and Lin Mo’s needs.
The intelligent robot’s main chip that Lin Mo had confiscated at the Fifth Aerospace Training Center in Jiuquan was still undergoing reverse engineering at the Gold Coin’s main body. Though he hadn’t fully cracked it yet, there had already been significant progress, especially in smart robot control.
Combined with the previous reverse-engineered results of the processor, this gold giant dragon had managed to accumulate countless transistors, forming a unique comprehensive processor no longer needing a standalone finished chip, allowing it to evolve into a processor not yet available on the market.
Compared to the clumsy dragon from another world, this gold giant dragon had caught up significantly with the times.
Although most of the time this killing dragon didn’t live up to its name, it possessed unexpected strengths that Lin Mo couldn’t even imagine in other areas.
Opening the high-definition screen, Lin Mo found a message from Chen Haiqing. It was likely sent during a layover for refueling.
He asked Lin Mo if he had arrived in Paris and mentioned that he had already arranged a hotel for Lin Mo. National Defense Star had booked an entire floor at a five-star hotel near the airport, with dozens of rooms. Lin Mo only needed to show his badge to receive his room number. He would dine with the company staff in the evening, and all of Lin Mo’s expenses in France would be charged to National Defense Star’s account. If he needed cash, he could ask the person in charge of the setup.
The J-11 and J-14 “Eagle Falcon” aircraft intended for display had already entered the venue. If Lin Mo wished, he could take them out for some practice, and after the opening ceremony, he might be arranged to perform a flight demonstration.
Regarding Lin Mo’s flying skills, everyone up and down at National Defense Star held great respect for him, even those who had never seen him before. At the very least, his past achievements and records from test flights were impeccable; even the most critical eye wouldn’t find fault.
Bringing Lin Mo in to hold the fort was unanimously agreed upon; he was an ace pilot they couldn’t afford to invite.
In the past, only veteran manufacturers with decades of experience could have ace pilots assist in test flights with military support, something this newly established small company hadn’t even dared to think about.
Chen Haiqing being sent to the Air Force by his family was no mere coincidence; it was an early plot. Now, with a better option and a strong connection, Lin Mo didn’t even realize that his standing within National Defense Star was quite high.
He was like a diamond, shining wherever he went.
Lin Mo quickly replied: I have arrived, thank you for your concern. See you tonight!
According to what the young head of the publicity department said, he probably wouldn’t meet that young master Chen until dinner time. With two to three hours left, he decided to explore a bit first.
The beautiful models next to them were still training, but a handsome guy had joined them. Was he also a model?
Dressed like a star soldier, his calm demeanor made him incredibly attractive.
The models obviously saw Lin Mo as someone trying to earn a living like them, yet they couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement, their hearts racing.
It was as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and the beauty models trained even harder, casting alluring glances towards Lin Mo. If their fiery looks could manifest into reality, our Dragon Knight would probably be overwhelmed by the fiery intensity, reducing him to mere scraps.
Especially some of the Western beauties, who were livelier and bolder, desperately showcasing their graceful and enchanting figures.
The saying, “A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a mistress, and a mistress is not as good as one you can’t have,” perfectly described Lin Mo’s current mood.
Ah, little lovers! What were these little seductresses up to?
He Xiangling, in charge of the drill, furrowed her brows. Although the models unexpectedly put in their full effort and even exceeded expectations, which was the effect she sought, it seemed to have gone a bit overboard. Were these girls collectively trying to seduce men?
As she gazed at the models, who appeared ready to consume someone alive with their looks, sudden realization struck her.
Hmph! They want to climb the high branch of Director Lin! How naive!
He Xiangling knew that this young and handsome director with his mysterious allure wouldn’t be easily seduced. However, his gaze towards the J-14 seemed strange, showing a hint of tenderness, almost like that of a lover gazing at their partner.
Tenderness? He Xiangling rubbed her eyes; yes, that was the expression. She felt a chill run down her spine. Was this director a collector with a serious obsession?
Not being able to have something was, in fact, Lin Mo’s current mood, almost identical to what He Xiangling suspected.
He wanted to capture the world’s most advanced fighter jets, creating his own powerful fleet of aircraft, roaming freely across the skies. Compared to a Dragon Knight who could only have one Giant Dragon for a lifetime, the Dragon Knight was nothing!
With a spark of inspiration, Lin Mo quickly donned his tactical helmet and activated the Control system of the “Dragon General.”
National Defense Star had further strengthened its relationship with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and, thanks to Lin Mo, successfully obtained permission to showcase the J-14 “Eagle Falcon” at the exhibition.
During the intimidating training and patrol of Shilang in the South China Sea, Lin Mo tirelessly helped Shenyang improve the J-15 carrier-based aircraft, securing a major order. He not only gained substantial material wealth but also unexpectedly obtained connections with a big shot in the aviation industry.
Due to Professor Yan from the 611 Institute, Lin Mo gained a network with Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, and now, with a connection from Shenyang, he was quickly regarded differently in the Chinese aviation industry.
Beep! Beep!
The J-14 “Eagle Falcon,” quietly stationed at the exhibition, suddenly emitted several electronic sounds, as if a car was unlocking. A few signal lights on the aircraft flickered in response.
Lin Mo felt a rush of joy. His guess was correct; the operation control system platform of the J-14 also used the coding rules he developed, integrating with the aviation tactical helmet’s remote control data link port.
Both the J-14 and J-10 had reserved such ports in their control systems due to military needs, but to activate these ports, a special permission chip and driver were required.
Fortunately, the “Dragon General” assigned to him by Henghai Defense was the complete version with top-level permissions, including this chip, allowing seamless connection to the silent J-14 “Eagle Falcon” and activating remote control mode.
“What is Director Lin doing?” He Xiangling asked in surprise, noticing the unusual behavior of the showcased fighter jet nearby.
She didn’t know what was happening. She hadn’t seen Lin Mo take any action, not even touch it, yet the fighter jet was responding. Was it some sort of special ability?
He Xiangling, however, held back her curiosity and didn’t speak. Everything at this exhibit was military confidential, and she didn’t have the authority to inquire.
The cockpit cover trembled and slowly rose automatically. Lin Mo leaped onto the J-14’s front canard wing, preparing to jump into the cockpit to check the feel of it, when suddenly he heard a loud shout from behind.
“Hey! Who are you? What are you doing?”
Mechanic Liu Minwei had been tuning his testing equipment when he suddenly heard an unusual sound from the exhibition direction. He looked up in shock and saw that the J-14’s cockpit cover was slowly opening.
What was going on? He immediately put down his work and rushed over, only to see a person whose face was obscured by a helmet, dressed in unusual armor, standing on the “Eagle Falcon’s” canard wing, ready to jump into the cockpit. In a panic, he shouted loudly.
