At that moment, He Chen Guang and the others were completely dumbfounded. In fact, every viewer watching the livestream was somewhat stunned as well!
Who among those who had received this award before had not been a white-haired senior academician? And now they were being told that Phantom's chief designer was a stunningly beautiful twenty-five-year-old woman?!
And it was not just Phantom! She was also the chief designer of the Phantom series engines! Even chief designers like Academician Yang, the designer of the J20, were only responsible for the design itself.
Matters such as engines were normally handed over to specialized institutions like the Taihang Research Institute, which focused on engine development. Yet this twenty-five-year-old woman had designed the Phantom Engine and the Phantom Fighter Jet all by herself?!
How outrageous was the Phantom Engine? Anyone could tell from the performance Phantom had displayed! What kind of woman was this?!
Oh my God, this joke had gone too far!
But this was not some variety show. This was the State Supreme Science and Technology Award ceremony!
Just look at the people on that stage. They represented the credibility of an entire nation! There was no way something like this could be wrong! So it had to be true!
The website streaming the event did not have a comment barrage feature, leaving netizens with nowhere to vent. There was only one place they could go: Weibo!
