"Good heavens, what kind of engine is that?"
"What material is that?"
"How was that component manufactured? No existing lathe could possibly machine such a complex hollowed-out part so perfectly."
"It looks like a bomber."
All the experts present seemed to have gone mad as they searched for technologies from their respective fields. If they had not restrained themselves, they might have rushed over already.
The enormous machine being manufactured before them brought together every cutting-edge technology here. It was practically the finest work of art.
Many things had already surpassed the limits of their existing knowledge.
Everyone present was among the foremost experts in their respective fields. For the first time, they felt that what they had learned was not enough when they truly needed it. There were many technologies they did not even know how to explain with their own knowledge.
Li Chengzhi stood there with a bewildered expression, completely out of his depth.
Experts saw the intricacies; he could only watch the spectacle.
The experts were flushed with excitement. Only after quite a while did they realize they had lost their composure. They gradually quieted down and turned their eyes toward Chen Mo, hoping to hear an answer from him.
"This is the Spaceplane I designed," Chen Mo said calmly. "Its engine is an Ion Engine."
Chen Mo never said anything without shocking everyone.
"What?"
The crowd cried out, their throats practically tearing apart.
The team of experts completely lost control. They no longer cared about appearances, every one of them flushed red with agitation.
"Impossible, impossible! The most advanced ion thrusters in the world currently have less than one newton of maximum thrust. There cannot be an ion engine with such enormous thrust, enough to propel an aircraft weighing dozens of tons."
An engine expert shook
