Smithlun listened to Saloyan Primo's explanation, his eyes filled with doubt. "General, to just ram into them, is that really feasible?"
"Don't worry," Saloyan Primo said with immense confidence. "The SLT fighter jets are made of special alloys, their hardness is extremely high, and the pilots are all ace pilots with over ten years of experience. Especially the commander of the flight group, Tess Rance, he once shot down an entire flight squadron by ramming them."
"Aerial surgery is as simple as eating and drinking for them. The two of them working together, dealing with a cobbled-together aircraft, will be quite easy."
"But..." Smithlun had barely started when Saloyan Primo interrupted him.
"Moreover, our target isn't necessarily to smash Jing Mingqiu's modified aircraft to pieces. As long as we create a small opening, the freezing wind at ten thousand meters will teach him a lesson."
"Remember, our target has never been Jing Mingqiu, who can withstand nuclear explosions in his Silver Dragon mecha, but the traitor who betrayed the US and defected to Longguo, William Ster."
Seeing Saloyan Primo's confidence, Smithlun didn't press further but instead flattered him with a smile.
"In that case, the rest is all up to you, General."
Saloyan Primo didn't expose Smithlun's attempt to shirk responsibility, but confidently replied, "Don't worry, this time I will let them know what aerial combat is! Let them understand who the true king of the air force is!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
More than twenty minutes later, Jing Mingqiu was interrogating William Ster on the plane when the entire cabin flashed with seven red lights, followed by Cang Yue's soft loli voice.
"Brother, brother! We've been locked onto by missiles. According to radar scans, a total of forty-eight US military SLT fighter jets are flying towards us from all directions, preparing to surround us like dumplings."
"Brother, should we accelerate to break out or counterattack directly?"
Upon hearing that his aircraft was locked onto by over forty US military fighter jets, William Ster was instantly stunned. He rushed forward, hugged Jing Mingqiu's leg, and pleaded tearfully, "Professor Jing, I have already defected to Longguo. You must find a way to save me!"
"I have over three billion deposited in the Swiss Bank. As long as you can safely escort me back to Longguo, all this money is yours."
Jing Mingqiu looked at the snot on his leg from William Ster clinging to him with disgust and kicked him away. "Alright, stop whining. Since I promised the boss I would bring you back, I will definitely deliver you alive to Longguo."
"Yue'er, the US has not declared war on Longguo yet, so we cannot fire the first shot that could lead to a major war between the two countries. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Let's accelerate to break out first."
"Understood, Brother."
Upon receiving Jing Mingqiu's order, Cang Yue immediately activated overload mode, running the engines at super power. The aircraft's speed instantly increased by one level. Before the US military could close the encirclement, they prepared to break through the blockade.
Tess Rance, the commander of the US Air Force's First Flight Squadron, had been closely monitoring the aircraft carrying Jing Mingqiu. Seeing that he was trying to break out, he immediately ordered a change in formation.
The forty-eight US military fighter jets, which had been slowly surrounding Jing Mingqiu, simultaneously increased their speed…
A few minutes later, looking at the Chinese fighter jet completely surrounded by the impenetrable net, Tess Rance couldn't help but sneer.
Is this the level of Professor Jing Mingqiu, the legendary top scientist who is changing the world?
Tess Rance didn't attack immediately but first opened the public channel to mock Jing Mingqiu.
"Professor Jing, I am ordered to apprehend the traitor William Ster. According to relevant investigations, he is hiding on your aircraft. Please cease resistance immediately and follow the guidance to land in the designated area."
"Otherwise, we will take enforcement measures, including but not limited to ramming, shooting, missiles, and other necessary means. For your safety, please land and accept inspection as instructed."
William Ster looked through the porthole at the dense formation of US military fighter jets outside and panicked again. "Professor Jing, let's surrender! Otherwise, they will attack us fiercely and beat me into a pulp, thereby pushing all the blame onto me."
"Tsk tsk," Jing Mingqiu glanced at William Ster with extreme disdain. "You were the director of the CIA before, the highest intelligence agency in the US. It's just a mere forty-eight fighter jets, and you're already scared like this."
After scolding William Ster, Jing Mingqiu opened the all-channel broadcast. "What are you babbling about? You can't even speak Chinese, and you want to communicate with me? Go wherever it's cool!"
Tess Rance had anticipated that Jing Mingqiu might refuse, surrender, or even attack directly.
But he never expected Jing Mingqiu to say this. You are a world-renowned scientist, how can you not even understand English!
"Jing Mingqiu, now is not the time to play these little tricks! If you do not follow the guidance and land for inspection immediately, you will face the consequences!"
To show his might, Tess Rance deliberately opened a missile bay, revealing two Stinger NK tracking missiles.
Facing the threat, Jing Mingqiu became even more disdainful. "Open your dog eyes and see what's painted on the outside of the aircraft! This is a Longguo fighter jet. Are you saying you represent the US and want to declare war on Longguo?"
"Professor Jing, you're finally not pretending to be stupid," Tess Rance's mocking voice sounded. "Of course, I won't attack you first! However, under extreme tension, if my hand slightly shakes and I accidentally collide, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"As if only you can have a shaky hand. Yue'er, switch to manual piloting mode. I want to have a go with this guy who's shouting so madly myself."
"Okay, Brother."
The fact that Jing Mingqiu had an artificial intelligence sister was not something he concealed; many people knew about it.
Initially, Tess Rance was a little worried about what would happen if Jing Mingqiu's aircraft was piloted by artificial intelligence and he couldn't hit it.
Seeing Jing Mingqiu being so overconfident and piloting it himself, Tess Rance no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order.
"Numbers one to thirty-six maintain their current speed. The rest will contract their range, leaving an attack channel. Rustar, haven't you been practicing aerial surgery for ten years? You'll be the one to perform surgery on him."
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
...
The US military formation quickly changed. The aircraft above Jing Mingqiu moved to the sides, revealing the junction between the wing and the fuselage, the most vulnerable spot.
Rustar first flew upwards, then increased his speed, diving straight towards Jing Mingqiu. Aided by gravity, his speed increased, and the distance between them shortened.
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters…
As everyone watched with bated breath, Rustar pressed multiple buttons, then forcefully pulled the joystick. The US military fighter jet instantly rotated 180 degrees, and its specially thickened dorsal fin on the fuselage cut towards the wing of Jing Mingqiu's fighter jet, intending to shear off one of his wings.
"Rumble!"
The two fighter jets collided violently!
