What was the value of an aircraft carrier? It allowed fighter aircraft to be deployed worldwide.
But where in the world couldn't a nuclear-powered fighter aircraft reach?
If that day truly came, the Americans would probably cough up blood. After all, to maintain their global hegemony, they had built the world's largest fleet of carrier battle groups, pouring enormous amounts of government funding into it.
Shen Bing spoke at just the right moment. "We at Phantom Immortal Technology are confident that we can build even more powerful aircraft! There is no doubt about that.

"All right! After those questions, I believe everyone now has a thorough understanding of our aircraft. I am proud to announce that we have taken the first step toward the goal I, Shen Bing, once promised to achieve. To help humanity reach the sea of stars in the future, I will lead the Illusion Immortal Technology Company in our continued efforts, striving to leave the Solar System and venture into the universe as soon as possible."
