More importantly, he has obtained detailed blueprints and various data from the United States, and with the current capabilities of the Academy of Military Sciences, it is fully capable of producing it.
Now that I think about it, it should be about time.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang smiled with delight, gave Qi Tongwei a slight bow, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, I was just about to tell you about this. With the blueprints and materials you provided, our research has made a breakthrough. The research on the F-16 fighter jet is now nearing completion, and today is the last batch of parts being installed."
"If all goes well, from today onwards, our Great Han Empire will officially possess the ability to produce fighter jets on its own. This is a historic breakthrough for us."
Qi Tongwei was in a very good mood and burst into laughter.
"Haha, great!"
"Our Great Han Empire now possesses its own fighter jets, and the air force is no longer just for show. It finally has a purpose, and we can continue our path of expansion!"
The reason he has recently halted his expansion into Southeast Asia is not only due to the conflict in Gaza, but also because they are not yet self-sufficient in terms of fighter jets.
If they want to continue their dominance in Southeast Asia, they will inevitably have to extend their battle lines.
In this context, the strength and mobility of the air force become crucial.
With air power, their continued expansion from the Han Empire to surrounding regions and countries will greatly enhance their combat capabilities and efficiency.
Especially against countries with relatively strong military capabilities, such as Siam, their air forces can achieve an overwhelming advantage.
"Your Majesty, today marks the completion of our first F-16 fighter jet. Would you like to go and take a look yourself?"
Gao Yuliang suddenly asked a question from the side.
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's heart stirred.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
This was, after all, a historic moment for their Great Han Empire, and it was of great commemorative significance. If the emperor could personally witness the birth of the F-16 fighter jet, it would undoubtedly make the event even more meaningful.
……
Academy of Military Sciences.
Qi Tongwei arrived at the huge experimental plaza, accompanied by Gao Yuliang.
Dozens of researchers and scientists were gathered around a huge fighter jet, fiddling with it and discussing it in hushed tones.
They were so focused that they didn't even notice Qi Tongwei's arrival, their attention still fixed on the fighter jet in front of them.
Seeing this, Gao Yuliang was about to step forward to remind everyone, but Qi Tongwei stopped him.
"Don't disturb them~々."
"I am here today to witness history; let's skip the formalities."
Seeing Qi Tongwei say this, Gao Yuliang said nothing more.
His respect for Qi Tongwei grew even stronger.
With such an enlightened emperor, how could their Great Han Empire not prosper?
Time passed minute by minute.
Everyone became extremely tense, because the closer they got to the end, the less they dared to be careless.
Although failure is inevitable in scientific experiments, they absolutely cannot allow themselves to fail.
Because they weren't just feeling their way across the river by touching the stones!
His Majesty has prepared blueprints and detailed research data for them. If they still fail under these circumstances, how can they repay His Majesty's life-saving grace?
Furthermore, although they remained in the Han Empire through a trade, through their experiences over the past few days, they are now willing to serve the Han Empire wholeheartedly.
Although they were initially forced to stay here, the Empire did not treat them poorly in terms of their living conditions.
Moreover, the treatment they receive now is far better than before.
Moreover, through the recent events, they have come to realize that the Great Han Empire possesses a bright future beyond that of the Five Constants, and can be considered the most promising Southeast Asian country.
Even if the empire forces them to return, they don't want to go back now.
Since they had stayed, they naturally had to demonstrate their value; otherwise, they worried that one day they would fall behind the empire's progress and be ruthlessly abandoned.
So today, everyone is on high alert.
When installing each component or conducting tests, they would repeatedly verify and evaluate the process, prioritizing reliability over speed.
In this situation, they proceeded to the final step without any mistakes.
Now, once the last component is successfully installed, the F-16 fighter jet will be born in their hands!
This will surely be a moment that goes down in history!
Because the F-16 fighter jet was once the mainstay fighter jet of the United States, but now they have developed it.
One can imagine the sensation this news would cause if it got out!
Just when everyone was feeling anxious, the technicians finally completed the installation and testing of the last component.
"It's done!"
A sudden shout came from the crowd amidst a deafening roar.
The professionals and scientists, disregarding their own filthy appearance, embraced each other, shouting wildly and even weeping uncontrollably.
"We made it!"
"We have made history! Long live the Great Han Empire!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The cheers and celebrations were wild and enthusiastic, wave after wave, and everyone was swept up in ecstasy.
Looking at the scene before him, Qi Tongwei smiled with satisfaction.
The F-16 fighter jet has finally been unveiled in the Great Han Empire, and his previous efforts have not been in vain.
Just then, someone in the crowd noticed Qi Tongwei's presence.
"Ah, it's His Majesty!"
"His Majesty has arrived! Quickly, we will go and pay our respects to His Majesty!"
Everyone rushed over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, we were unaware of your arrival and failed to greet you. We beg Your Majesty to punish us."
Everyone knelt down before Qi Tongwei.
Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei's entire demeanor changed, and he exuded an aura of majesty.
He raised his hands towards the air, and the people who were kneeling on the ground stood up uncontrollably.
The group exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of astonishment in the other's eyes.
What's happening here?
His Majesty clearly didn't touch them, but their bodies seemed to encounter some resistance and they stood up directly!
This is absolutely terrifying!
Everyone looked at Qi Tongwei with even greater awe, as if they were looking at their own god!
Qi Tongwei was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
The unknown is the easiest thing to evoke fear and awe. The reason he showed off his skills just now was to plant the seeds of fear and awe in these people's hearts.
As an emperor, one must naturally employ both kindness and severity to win the hearts of the people.
His gaze swept over the crowd, emanating an aura of authority, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"I have witnessed your performance and I am very satisfied. You are all meritorious officials of my Great Han Empire, and the Empire will not forget you."
"Here, I make only one promise to you: as long as you remain loyal to me and to the Great Han Empire, the Great Han Empire will always have a place for you!"
Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone went into a frenzy.
This is His Majesty's promise!
Compared to those mundane rewards, His Majesty's promise is clearly more valuable, and can be said to be priceless!
Because they all understood that the Han Empire was not only extremely powerful in military strength, but also had almost reached the pinnacle of the world in medical care.
As long as they don't betray their country or His Majesty, they can live a life of ease!
Because they had never heard of anyone who had a terminal illness being saved and becoming healthy and energetic again.
Even more astonishingly, those who were originally nearing the end of their lifespan and about to die, under the treatment of the physicians arranged by His Majesty (Li Zhaohao), actually regained their vitality and looked as if they had become more than ten years younger.
That's simply divine intervention!
At their level of status and age, they are basically not lacking in material things, and they have long enjoyed the feeling of being admired by thousands of people.
Now, their only pursuit is naturally a healthy body and a long life.
And the Han Empire was able to satisfy them in this regard.
They would never do anything rebellious!
Only a fool would rebel. Isn't it better to live?
At this moment, the oldest scientist in the crowd suddenly spoke respectfully to Qi Tongwei.
"Your Majesty, although we have successfully developed the F-16 fighter jet, it has not yet been test-flown. Would you like to arrange for a pilot to conduct a test flight?"
Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up.
He also wanted to see the power and style of the F-16 fighter jet developed by their Great Han Empire.
This suggestion perfectly aligns with his thinking.
"Alright, let's witness it together."
A few minutes later.
An ace pilot arrived and, under Qi Tongwei's command, solemnly took his seat in the cockpit of the fighter jet.
With a roar, the fighter jet quickly took off and soared into the sky.
Its imposing presence was like that of a sharp sword.
A single sword, its frost chilling nineteen provinces!
150. Qi Tongwei's chip sales are booming, causing the Great Han Empire's military spending to skyrocket! (Please subscribe)
Qi Tongwei was in a very good mood.
Because the F-16 fighter jet's test flight was a complete success, it means that from now on, their Great Han Empire officially possesses the ability to independently research and develop fighter jets.
In terms of military technology, they will no longer be in a backward position!
With their first domestically developed F-16 fighter jet, they will have countless fighter jets, and it will be only a matter of time before they form a huge air force formation.
Upon returning from the Academy of Military Sciences, Qi Tongwei immediately convened a monarchical meeting.
All the high-ranking officials of the Great Han Empire, including Gao Yuliang and Su Qidu, participated.
In the conference room.
Qi Tongwei's gaze swept over everyone, and he was very satisfied with the team in front of him.
Whether it's Gao Yuliang, Su Qidu, or Lu Bingkun, after more than two months of development, they have all grown into pillars capable of standing on their own.
With the assistance of these people and its unique advantages, the future of the Han Empire is promising.
He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"Today is a day to celebrate for our Great Han Empire, because from today onwards, we will officially have the ability to develop our own fighter jets. Our air force will not just be a slogan, but will soon become a reality."
At this point, his gaze turned to Su Qidu.
Group 893jiu
"Su Qing, you are the Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces. The training of the air force must be carried out with utmost urgency. As long as the fighter jets are fully equipped, I need a powerful air force that can fight and win battles."
"Our Great Han Empire has been dormant in Southeast Asia for too long; it is time to continue expanding into the surrounding areas."
Upon hearing this, Su Qidu felt a surge of excitement!
Although they had fought several battles in the Gaza Strip before, those were on someone else's territory, and their 573 was mostly on the defensive, which wasn't very satisfying.
