Shen Bing said casually, "A nuclear-powered transport plane should at least be capable of supersonic cruising! Right now, only a handful of unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft have that capability. Not a single transport plane can do it. Sure, we could replace a plane's engines to increase its speed, but its original airframe might not withstand the stress of supersonic cruising. If I have to redesign the airframe too, I might as well build a new plane myself."
His words left everyone speechless.
"Do you have the technology to manufacture aircraft?" Director Zhang asked.
Shen Bing glanced at Commander Gao and smiled. "We certainly do, and it's extremely advanced."
Commander Gao also recalled the Fighter Aircraft designs and aircraft engine blueprints he had previously obtained from Shen Bing, and silently mourned for the Americans for a few seconds. They even had technical specifications for the cutting-edge F199 engine. Who would dare claim Phantom Immortal Technology lacked the technology to build aircraft?
Director Zhang remained somewhat skeptical. Building aircraft was nothing like making phones. The technological gap between the two was immense.
Phantom Immortal Technology had never shown any sign of aerospace research before. Now Shen Bing was suddenly claiming his company had the technology to manufacture aircraft. Anyone would have found that hard to believe.
Commander Gao could easily tell what Director Zhang was thinking. He immediately said, "Director Zhang, there's no need to worry about Phantom Immortal Technology's capabilities. Do you know about this fellow's private plane? He's definitely modified it inside and out. Maybe he hasn't replaced absolutely everything, but I guarantee every major component has been swapped out."
Director Zhang had never heard that Shen Bing owned a private plane, though on reflection, it hardly seemed surprising.
For most people, a private plane was an unattainable luxury. For Shen
