Huá Róng Industrial?
The Phantom mech?
The褚yellow etched characters of Great Xia?
Could it be.
That this mech was tinkered out by some civilian science big shot?
This is too ridiculous.
To build a powered mech that can fly over a thousand kilometers at supersonic speeds of Mach 2 is exponentially more difficult than hand-crafting an atomic bomb or casually building a nuclear reactor.
However.
Li Chenghé did understand.
Why coastal radar units from the Qiongzhou Strait to the waters off JN City couldn't detect the trace of this high-speed flying powered mech.
Damn it.
At Mach 2 supersonic speed, flying at an ultra-low altitude within 120 meters of the ground.
The control difficulty and risk level are no less than walking on a tightrope at a hundred-meter height without any protective measures, performing a segment of "Gokuraku Jodo."
Truly skilled and audacious.
But.
This powered mech, which clearly surpasses ordinary people's understanding of military equipment, an exoskeleton armor that exists only in sci-fi movies and TV shows, why is it heading towards the JN City Air Force Base?
Li Chenghé's mind was spinning rapidly, his emotions having returned to their normal level.
He sat back down at his desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the wooden surface.
A few seconds later.
His tapping sound abruptly stopped.
"Notify the combat units. Deploy a J-20 fighter squadron to intercept this unidentified mech..."
"Other aircraft, Level 1 alert. Full fuel tanks, engines on standby, pilots in the cockpit ready to go..."
"Even if we broadly assess that the other party has no malicious intent, this is my defense zone, and not the slightest accident can be tolerated..."
"Issue combat alert orders. In case of emergency, any conventional attack method below tactical nuclear weapons is permitted..."
...
A fighter squadron of Great Xia is typically composed of one lead, one wingman, and two escort fighters, a total of four aircraft.
However.
The squadron authorized by Li Chenghé to sortie is the top-tier fifth-generation fighter, the J-20, in Great Xia and even worldwide... therefore, it is a three-aircraft formation.
...
On the tarmac.
Three well-trained fighter pilots swiftly boarded their cockpits.
Throttle to the max.
Jet engine power fully engaged.
Accompanied by the roaring flames erupting from their tails.
The fighter squadron composed of three J-20s lifted off, soaring straight into the clouds.
Behind them.
Dozens of sorties of aircraft were being towed to the runway by tractors.
With just a command from Li Chenghé, these aircraft would immediately ascend and enter combat readiness.
...
In the command hall.
On the large screen, the captured footage of the three J-20s that had already taken off was slowly switching.
Lieutenant General Li Chenghé, sitting in the main seat, frowned deeply, staring intently at the large screen.
He was personally commanding this operation.
"Formation, pay attention, formation, pay attention. Adopt defensive formation, release a gesture of goodwill to the unidentified flying target..."
"Approach within visual range, adopt escort mode and attempt radio contact..."
"If the target exhibits any aggressive or evasive behavior, after three unheeded warnings, immediately proceed to shoot it down..."
After personally issuing the order, Li Chenghé fell silent. He held his thermos and watched the live footage transmitted by the three J-20s on the large screen, quietly waiting.
...
Bilibili.
The latest global investor financial report shows nearly 400 million monthly active users.
Closing in on Douyin's 550 million monthly active users.
This top-tier social platform with such a massive user base, boasting several streamers with hundreds of millions of followers, tens of millions of followers, and a multitude of streamers with millions of fans, like a swarm of locusts.
The mech maiden's livestream channel.
This influencer whose purpose is to promote the brand reputation of Huá Róng Industrial would be considered a very impressive account on other smaller social platforms with millions of followers.
But on Bilibili.
It doesn't even rank.
During the weekly routine meeting of Bilibili's senior management.
Qian Cheng, who is in charge of the livestreaming sector, submitted a report to Executive Director Chen Juntài and prepared for full discussion.
Chen Juntài.
Founder of Bilibili and a key member of the joint board of directors.
Due to some special maneuverings and the sharp words of the famous Bilibili user "Mongolian Top Laner" saying, "Please die for me first," he was brought from behind the scenes to the forefront.
In recent years.
The meme "Uncle, I..." has been trending across major online platforms.
The specific sentence constructions are roughly:
"Uncle, I... love money the most..."
"Uncle, I... love streamers who can make money the most..."
"Uncle, I... as long as I can make money, Fuso style and gods and whatnot are not important..."
Specifically.
Uncle Chen Juntài basically has no bottom line when it comes to making money.
Therefore, when he reviewed the "Mech Maiden Livestream Channel Analysis Material" submitted by Qian Cheng at the meeting, he frowned and skimmed through it.
After all.
A mere influencer with millions of followers.
And no flashy, disruptive maneuvers.
Possessing a "first love" face, but not engaging in the contrast of appearing pure yet selling herself, tricking users into spending or forcing them to spend, this truly failed to pique Uncle Chen Juntài's interest.
"Qian Cheng."
"The energy of the board of directors and company executives is limited."
"For future reports of such relatively unimportant situations, your department can make the decision internally."
Indeed.
With only millions of followers...
Revenue contribution not even a fraction of the livestreaming sector...
Negligible traffic drawn from external platforms to Bilibili... military fans are a niche group... only occasionally breaking out to cause a sensation...
...This inconspicuous streamer and livestream room.
Could not arouse much interest from Uncle Chen Juntài.
Look at those insignificant numbers, especially the profit-generating amounts, which could be described as pathetic.
Don't talk to Uncle Chen Juntài about influence within the military fan community.
Doesn't make money.
Doesn't sell sex.
Doesn't attract traffic.
To the extremely money-loving Uncle Chen Juntài, it's like chicken ribs – tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.
Seeing Executive Director and Bilibili founder Chen Juntài's dismissive reaction, the dark lines on Qian Cheng's forehead were almost solidifying.
Speaking of which.
Besides revenue standards and attracting traffic to make money, can't Chen Juntài have any other pursuits?
Seeing Chen Juntài set aside his report and prepare to move on to the next agenda item, Qian Cheng quickly reminded him.
"Director Chen."
"I need to remind you."
"This streamer's contribution to our revenue is indeed not significant, but her livestream sales figures are somewhat terrifying!"
Oh?
Terrifying livestream sales figures?
Does that mean she's making a lot of money through our Bilibili!
Mentioning money, Uncle Chen Juntài's spirits immediately perked up, and he was no longer sleepy.
He turned his attention back to Qian Cheng, gesturing for him to continue.
"This is a new streamer who livestreams for a private toy company named Huá Róng Industrial to establish brand image..."
"In less than two months since she started streaming, her follower count has soared from just over two thousand to nearly a million..."
"And the total sales revenue in her livestream room often reaches hundreds of millions of US dollars. During a previous pre-sale event, she sold 147 items in just a few minutes, with a total deposit of 14.7 million and a total transaction value of 147 million, setting a record for the shortest time and highest sales amount on our platform..."
