Chapter 469: Stop Numbing Yourself with Dreams

Chapter 469: Stop Numbing Yourself with Dreams

The Eagle King was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Five billion, that's just the first phase of the research mission."

"I need you to show me some results, so that I can have the confidence to continue investing in you!"

Lewis smiled and said, "But, Your Majesty, the time you requested is quite short."

"If there is not enough funding, I think it will affect the progress of the research."

The Eagle King looked at Lewis deeply.

This sight gave Lewis a chill.

What the hell!

It seems like there's something wrong with the Eagle King's eyes.

"His Majesty……"

The Eagle King smiled faintly and said, "Don't think I'm stupid."

"There's no way you could have built that aerospace fighter in just a few months."

"Investing a few billion is just for fun."

"By the way, let's spread some publicity and intimidate people."

"If it works well, keep working with Hollywood."

"Anyway, I know that you won't be able to achieve anything even if you spend ten or eight years."

Lewis thought, So you know everything.

After all this time, did you just want to come up with a false and empty gimmick from the beginning?

What space fighter? It's actually the same model as Star Wars.

The purpose is just to brag.

Anyway, the atmosphere in Eagle is very bad right now.

It is rare to find people who work hard.

It's not common anymore.

These politicians, one after another, love to brag.

Anyway, whatever attracts attention is fine.

In the eyes of those guys, politics is actually just a show.

Everyone rushed to perform.

Anyway, you have to show toughness and perform various performance arts.

The purpose is to be reported by the media.

The media reported it and the public recognized it.

Then, they can continue to be elected and continue to abuse their power in office.

You can gain a lot of benefits by just bragging a little.

On the contrary, no one really pays attention to those who actually get things done.

The Eagle King is also the politician of the Giant Eagle.

Of course he knew that he had to keep doing things and keep winning.

Only then can he sit firmly on his current throne.

It’s really meaningless whether or not we can make space fighters.

As long as it can be publicized, as long as the people in the country know that the Giant Eagle is more powerful than before, that is enough!

Lewis said: "Your Majesty, if this is just a fake stunt, it will be exposed."

The Eagle King laughed and said, "If they want to prove that we don't have space fighters, I guess they will have to work very hard, but they may not be able to do it."

"Well! You can use 50 billion to research the space fighter project first."

“I don’t have much hope though.”

"But I also really hope that a miracle will happen."

Just like that, Lewis personally hosted a press conference.

This press conference is for global media.

Important media from many countries were invited to participate.

Naturally, among them was Lin Yijun, a reporter from the Dragon National Television.

The Eagle Army actually holds press conferences quite frequently.

Because this has become a system.

Lin Yijun originally thought that this press conference was just a routine matter.

So, he didn't have any ideas at first, he just came over to listen.

If there was no valuable news, he had no intention of making news.

Because, that's just a waste of time.

When Lin Yijun arrived at the scene, he took a look and was surprised to see that the conference room for the press conference was already full of people.

Too many people.

Obviously, Eagle has contacted almost all important media.

Could it be that they are really going to announce some major news?
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Lewis strode onto the stage. He was full of confidence, glanced at the audience, and said with a smile: "Thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming!"

"Today, we have an important news announcement."

Lewis paused for a moment when he spoke here.

The scene was completely quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Lewis to continue.

Lewis smiled and said, "Everyone, the news is: we have successfully developed a space fighter!"

"Our fighter jets can take off directly from ground airports and quickly soar into the sky after takeoff. In just three or four minutes, they can fly out of the atmosphere and directly into space."

"Well! This fighter will be able to cruise in outer space and within the atmosphere!"

"No country can deal with such an advanced fighter."

"This fighter can carry large ballistic missiles, one of which can destroy an entire country..."

Lewis boasted loudly.

There was already an uproar in the conference room.

Because this space fighter that Lewis was talking about is a bit too advanced.

At present, there is no fighter jet that can take off directly from a ground airport and quickly enter outer space.

This is because the engines of ordinary fighter jets simply cannot operate in outer space.

Moreover, ordinary fighter jets cannot reach that fast.

This is also the main reason why rocket engines are basically used to carry out outer space launch missions.

The thrust of ordinary fighter jets is simply not enough.

But since Giant Eagle was able to hold a press conference to make the announcement in a serious manner, it must be true, right?

After all, this thing will be verified by people!
Lewis looked at the uproar in the conference room, and he was still quite proud.

"Ahem! Everyone, can you be quiet for a moment?"

"I will not answer the questions you raise now."

"Everyone, please take a look at our video!"

Lewis waved his hand.

Someone immediately started playing the video.

The slide screens have also been hung up.

The video starts playing.

Make a good start from the beginning.

A fighter jet that looked very powerful appeared on the screen.

The appearance of this fighter is very gorgeous, it's simply awesome.

After multiple angles display.

The fighter plane began to roar and take off.

It slid on the track for only about ten seconds at most.

The speed reached more than 400 kilometers per hour.

Then, it rose rapidly from the ground.

After taking off, with a "boom", the fighter jet flew vertically, piercing the sky like a sharp arrow.

"Whoosh-"

The flight speed quickly increased to at least Mach 3.

Because, very soon, this record flew out of space.

"Wow!"

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Of course, there were also reporters applauding.

Reporters who were applauding: Giant Eagle doesn’t have many mentors of his own.

Most of them are journalists from other small countries.

These small countries have rarely organized any aviation activities before. Moreover, they also have a filter for the giant eagle.

The short film was still playing. The huge fighter plane was flying in the space due to inertia, and below the plane, a blue planet was rotating.

Next, this fighter jet demonstrated its powerful target acquisition capability.

They used magical instruments high in the sky that could quickly magnify the earth, find the target directly and accurately, and then present it on the radar screen.

Immediately afterwards, the target was urgently locked at high altitude.

A small red building...

The last step is the simulated attack.

Naturally, there was another uproar in the conference room.

The space fighter shown in this video is incredible.

Exclamations were heard one after another.

Of course, those who know the business just smile and say nothing.

This video is fine as long as it fools ordinary people.

Most people definitely can't see anything.

However, as soon as insiders saw the various unusual details in the video, they knew that the video was probably produced by software.

After Lewis played the video, he smiled and said, "Gentlemen, what do you think of our new fighter?"

"Now, everyone may ask questions."

Lewis is quite confident.

Because he is the kind of guy who has no flaws.

In the conference room, many people raised their arms at once.

Lewis felt a little guilty after all.

Without hesitation, he chose a media reporter who was close to him and had always supported his work.

After the reporter stood up, he immediately shouted, "Congratulations, Mr. Lewis! Our Giant Eagle has developed another world-leading weapon!"

"I wonder if, with this weapon, we will punish those who betray us."

Lewis smiled slightly.

This reporter was actually the pre-arranged questioner.

Now that we have good things, we naturally need to show their value.

Lewis said, “Thank you!”

"I can say without hesitation that our space fighter is the best in the world. Other countries will not be able to develop it even in 20 years!"

"Its most powerful feature is that it can attack all over the world!"

"It can patrol the globe and fly in space for more than a month."

"Anyone who goes against us may be attacked by us!"

"Of course, for the sake of world peace, we won't attack anyone without reason!"

"The premise is that they don't irritate us."

"If they anger us, we will teach them a lesson mercilessly!"

Lewis threatened.

Yes, isn't the purpose of holding this press conference to make threats?

If we cannot threaten other forces, then what good is it even if we have many new weapons?

He had just finished speaking when he heard someone burst into laughter.

This laughter is really rude.

But the opponent was at the front, which made Lewis a little annoyed and angry.

This damn bastard!
I don't know what he is laughing at.

Lewis decided to ignore the other party.

"Well! Mr. Lewis, you guys have really improved your skills!"

"If I didn't use your animation software often, I might have been fooled by you!" CNN reporter Colt said loudly.

Colt was ruthless.

He didn't give Lewis any face at all.

His shout was quite loud.

Even without a microphone, the voice could still be heard by most people in the conference room.

Lewis was a little panicked.

Because he heard a lot of people sneering.

Yes, those guys were making sneering noises.

Some of them were making noise.

They were laughing at Lewis.

"Hahaha! We figured it out a long time ago! The video you played was made from an animation."

“Mr. Lewis, I guess you spent a lot of money on this video, right?”

"Haha, I even saw the software watermark when you were playing it just now. Don't you even know how to remove the watermark?"

"Mr. Lewis, stop bragging! The aircraft engines in the animation you showed are not suitable for space flight."

"I really don't understand. A mighty giant eagle would actually do something like this! In order to tell a big lie, he even called all the reporters over... Isn't it enough that he has embarrassed himself enough?"

……

In short, the scene was bustling and noisy.

Lewis, stunned.

Watma's!

What is this thing called?
There's nothing wrong with this video, right?

How come they can tell it's fake?

This unscientific.

Shouldn't.

Lewis was angry and nervous.

"I say, Mr. Colt, are you finished?"

"We have definitely created a new world-leading space fighter."

"Why do you question it?"

"Are you qualified to question?"

"So many scientists have devoted their efforts and sweat to this new fighter."

"And it's there to protect us."

"You're making all kinds of jokes! Do you still have a conscience?"

"You make me so angry!"

Lewis roared loudly.

The meeting room gradually became quiet.

The author

Unmoved, he continued jokingly, “Mr. Lewis, of course we respect all scientists!”

"Those scientists are our treasures!"

"But you can't deceive the people and the world with false results!"

"Besides, if your animation video can be done better, I certainly won't make it difficult for you."

"You guys are doing it too crudely, aren't you?"

"Let me ask you, what animation design company did you find? How much did you pay them?"

"For a short video like this, if you give me 50 green paper, I can make it flawless and make it impossible to tell it's fake!"

My goodness, Colt is starting to slap people in the face again.

Lewis felt a little sweat on his forehead.

He thought, is this video really that shoddy? But I think it's OK.

He himself knew that this space fighter was purely fake and could not stand up to scrutiny.

That's why he was so frightened.

"Humph! This video of ours is absolutely true. No matter how much you slander it, you can't deny it!"

"Mr. Colt, I seriously suspect that you are the guy who took the dragon's money to defile the eagle!"

"If you don't stop, you will be arrested."

Colt shrugged and said, "Mr. Lewis, if telling the truth is a crime, you can arrest me."

"I just hope that you will stop relying on dreams to numb yourself and all the Giant Eagle people!"

"There's no benefit in this!"

"Mr. Lewis, if you still have a conscience, you should tell the truth."

"We have suffered enough from empty talk and hypocritical performances in the past."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a bleak situation now!" (End of this chapter)
