00:00:00When word spreads that you've left for a summer gig, the nation shuts its borders in a total panic.
00:00:04Tanks surround the city and armed police close in.
00:00:07All because, in a run-down machinery plant, you turned gas cylinders into mortars,
00:00:11a scrap metal pipe into a rocket launcher, and a broken tractor into a track tank.
00:00:15That's how you end up arrested as an arms dealer.
00:00:17You think your life is over, but instead, a soldier asks if you can modify a retired J-10 fighter
00:00:22jet.
00:00:22You go quiet for a moment, then nod, but it will be expensive.
00:00:25Are you sure you want it modified?
00:00:27After you say that, the interrogation room falls into a deathly silence.
00:00:30Every cop stares, as if you've lost your mind.
00:00:33Time passes before anyone can even move.
00:00:35The soldier simply nods calmly.
00:00:37He turns to the stunned cop beside him.
00:00:39I'll be taking him with me.
00:00:40The cop doesn't object.
00:00:41He even clears your path.
00:00:43You swagger out as they watch in disbelief.
00:00:45You follow the soldier into a military jeep.
00:00:47You don't say a single word the entire time.
00:00:49Your calm face, makes the driver think, you really are, just a fearless student.
00:00:54The jeep speeds along the road, quickly reaching the city outskirts.
00:00:57Stopping in front of, a time-worn factory.
00:00:59Please wait here, the soldier says, hurrying off.
00:01:02You immediately sense something is off.
00:01:04The place looks shabby, but the guards are elite.
00:01:06Security is tight, as if guarding a world-class prize.
00:01:09Your heart skips a beat.
00:01:10Is the fighter jet really here?
00:01:12Just then, several people stride toward you.
00:01:14The middle-aged man in the front looks stern.
00:01:16He's wearing a military uniform too.
00:01:18When you see the rank on his shoulder, you freeze.
00:01:20A two-star insignia, standing there is a Major General.
00:01:24Major General Brody Carson walks up with a smile.
00:01:26Mr. Gabe Morris, we invited you here because, the military values your talent for modifications.
00:01:31Don't be nervous, this is just a business deal.
00:01:33Your attention melts away instantly.
00:01:35As long as they aren't arresting you, it's fine.
00:01:37You nod and follow him into the factory.
00:01:39The moment you step inside, what you see only solidifies your guess.
00:01:42Squads of five soldiers patrol in a web-like formation across the factory.
00:01:46The security inside is, at least ten times tighter than outside.
00:01:49As you step into the massive warehouse, a colossal object comes into view.
00:01:53It has a blue-gray exterior, and a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette.
00:01:56Despite the battle scars, you can tell what it is instantly.
00:01:59It's a retired J-10 fighter jet.
00:02:00Brody points at it.
00:02:02Mr. Morris, can you modify this retired jet?
00:02:04You don't answer right away.
00:02:06Instead, with a single thought, the control panel of the system in your mind pops up.
00:02:09You move your fingers swiftly.
00:02:11In this system, there's nothing you can't modify.
00:02:13You close the control panel, and meet Brody's gaze.
00:02:16I can.
00:02:16Before he can react, you voice your doubt.
00:02:18But, did you need a SWAT team to get me, for something so minor?
00:02:21The usually commanding Brody feels awkward instantly.
00:02:24He blushes.
00:02:24It's all a misunderstanding.
00:02:26I merely ask the police to bring you here.
00:02:28Who knew they'd think they'd caught a terrorist?
00:02:29The ridiculous explanation leaves you speechless.
00:02:32You take a deep breath and lay down your terms.
00:02:34Turning the J-10 into a sixth-gen fighter jet will take 15 to 20 days.
00:02:37And that'll be 10 million dollars.
00:02:39Brody readily agrees, waving his hand like it's nothing.
00:02:42I'll give you a month.
00:02:43The materials you need will be covered.
00:02:44But I have one requirement.
00:02:45He pauses, his expression strange.
00:02:48You need to make it look as real as possible.
00:02:50The question confuses you.
00:02:51What a bizarre request.
00:02:52But since you are modifying it, you might as well go big.
00:02:55You stare at the battle-scarred relic.
00:02:57And a wild plan forms.
00:02:58Swapping the jet's runway for vertical liftoff.
00:03:01Makes it possible to evade radar detection.
00:03:03A hidden split-wing design can be added.
00:03:05And for the core engine.
00:03:06Out of sheer madness.
00:03:07A miniature nuclear fission reactor.
00:03:09With unlimited power.
00:03:10The fighter jet can fight indefinitely.
00:03:12With the plan set, you get straight to work.
00:03:14You lock yourself in for over half a month.
00:03:16With the system's tech, the work is effortless.
00:03:19It's like playing with LEGO.
00:03:21Honestly, your understanding of the J-10 has already surpassed its creators.
00:03:25With this terrifying technical power, the heavily modified sixth-gen jet takes shape right before your eyes.
00:03:30You nod in satisfaction.
00:03:32At the half-completed steel beast, you snap a photo of the insane design and send it to Brody.
00:03:37Sir, it's almost done.
00:03:38Brody opens the image in his office, and his eyes almost pop out of his head.
00:03:42He thinks he's looking at a sci-fi movie CGI.
00:03:45Classic jets are all pieced together.
00:03:46But this one is seamless.
00:03:48Between the fuselage and wings, not a single seam is visible.
00:03:50It's as if forged from a single block.
00:03:53This ultra-streamlined design completely blows.
00:03:55His decades of experience out of the water.
00:03:57What a shame.
00:03:58If only it were a real sixth-gen jet.
00:04:00Shocked as he is.
00:04:01Brody can't help but feel a little sad.
00:04:02After all, he only hired you to make a decoy.
00:04:05For the upcoming air show.
00:04:07To hide the country's real research.
00:04:09Staring at the deceptive exterior of the jet on his screen.
00:04:12Brody nods in satisfaction.
00:04:13It's not the real deal.
00:04:15But it's perfect for fooling people.
00:04:16Hiring this guy was my smartest move yet.
00:04:18The day before the air show.
00:04:19Director of logistics.
00:04:21Lewis Watts.
00:04:21Stares.
00:04:22At the poster of your modified J-10 fighter jet.
00:04:24He's so absorbed he forgets to put down his mug.
00:04:27It looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie.
00:04:29With its aerodynamic beauty.
00:04:30And the level of detail is downright insane.
00:04:32If Lewis didn't know any better.
00:04:34He'd think they've achieved a breakthrough in jet tech.
00:04:36He checks your resume and is stunned.
00:04:38A university student.
00:04:39Works part-time at a farm machinery plant.
00:04:41Even helped overseas forces turn farm tools into weapons.
00:04:44This string of ridiculous labels.
00:04:46Don't match the fighter jet in front of him.
00:04:48It's so unbelievable that he pulls Brody aside.
00:04:50To double check.
00:04:51Brody.
00:04:51Did that university student who works part-time?
00:04:54At a machinery plant really build this alone?
00:04:56Brody answers seriously.
00:04:57I guarantee it.
00:04:58In all that time.
00:04:59Gabe was the only one in that warehouse.
00:05:00Lewis breathes a sigh of relief.
00:05:02Since the decoy jet is ready.
00:05:04He can get on with the real task at hand.
00:05:06Two heavyweight figures are coming today.
00:05:08Renowned aerospace experts.
00:05:09Dennis Lark and Jacob Sachs.
00:05:11Are accompanied by Gilbert Lane.
00:05:12The commissar.
00:05:13Gilbert glances at the blueprints.
00:05:15And gets chills.
00:05:16It's a concept drawing of a fighter jet.
00:05:18Its streamlined frame looks like a swift.
00:05:20A single look reveals.
00:05:21The crushing power of cutting-edge tech.
00:05:23Is this the fabled 6th gen jet?
00:05:25Gilbert's heart races.
00:05:26If this thing actually gets built.
00:05:27Their military could dominate everything.
00:05:29Sadly.
00:05:30It's still just on paper.
00:05:31The private jet touches down in no time.
00:05:33Lewis rushes the guests into the facility.
00:05:35Eager to show what they've been working on.
00:05:38Commissar Lane.
00:05:38Take a look at this.
00:05:39This is the surprise we prepared.
00:05:41Lewis points at the poster of the modified jet.
00:05:43With immense pride.
00:05:44It looks so impressive that.
00:05:45Researchers could use this as a reference.
00:05:47Gilbert follows the gesture with a bored glance.
00:05:49Then freezes like he's been struck by lightning.
00:05:51Why does that look so familiar?
00:05:53I think I've seen this only an instant before.
00:05:55A tense silence settles over the room.
00:05:56Beside him Lewis goes just as rigid.
00:05:58That can't be.
00:05:59This poster has never been leaked.
00:06:01How could you have seen it?
00:06:02Brody rushes over to vouch for the security.
00:06:05Gilbert shakes his head.
00:06:06Maybe I'm just so tired that.
00:06:07I'm seeing things.
00:06:08He studies the poster again.
00:06:10His eyes full of wistful Lonnie.
00:06:11It looks amazing.
00:06:12Too bad it's just for show.
00:06:14Imagine if we actually have a jet like this.
00:06:16He has no idea.
00:06:17The real deal is in the warehouse.
00:06:19You're currently giving it a final check.
00:06:21The systems are fine.
00:06:22The engines are perfect.
00:06:23All it needs is a pilot.
00:06:24And the thing can lift off without a hitch.
00:06:26Once you're done with the checks.
00:06:27You open the warehouse doors.
00:06:29The soldiers waiting outside peek and curiously.
00:06:31Their eyes nearly pop out of their heads.
00:06:33Holy crap.
00:06:34Isn't the cargo supposed to be a J-10 refit?
00:06:36What the hell is this thing?
00:06:37With a silver gray paint job.
00:06:38A sleek, streamlined silhouette.
00:06:40That is completely seamless.
00:06:41It doesn't look like a fighter jet at all.
00:06:43It's an alien spaceship straight out of a sci-fi movie.
00:06:45The squad leader swallows hard.
00:06:47Mr. Morris.
00:06:48You're sure we're supposed to move this?
00:06:49Seeing how clueless they look.
00:06:50You nod calmly.
00:06:52This is it.
00:06:52There's no mistake.
00:06:53Move it already.
00:06:54With your word, they finally dare to touch it.
00:06:56They barely breathe.
00:06:57As they secure the steel cables.
00:06:59Afraid of scratching it.
00:07:01Thanks for the help, Mr. Morris.
00:07:02The squad leader salutes you with deep respect.
00:07:04You wave him off.
00:07:05Like you've just sold a toy.
00:07:07It's no problem.
00:07:08Call me if there are issues.
00:07:09I offer after-sales services.
00:07:11You lock up the warehouse.
00:07:12And head back to school.
00:07:13That night, Gilbert can't sleep.
00:07:15The image of that poster haunts him.
00:07:16Something's not right.
00:07:17Why is that poster?
00:07:18Sporting an exact silhouette of the 6th gen blueprints.
00:07:21That the two renowned scientists have?
00:07:23Could it have been leaked?
00:07:24No way.
00:07:24He fights his rising doubts and forces his eyes shut.
00:07:27Dawn comes in a flash.
00:07:28The air show officially opens.
00:07:29The massive square is packed.
00:07:31The world's attention is on the event.
00:07:32The host draws every eye toward the stage.
00:07:34As two gray-haired men take their places.
00:07:36It's Dennis, the director of Stratos Institute.
00:07:38And his deputy, Jacob.
00:07:40Instantly, everyone's eyes light up.
00:07:42These are living icons.
00:07:43This isn't an air show.
00:07:44It's a sanctuary, where every seasoned expert, waits to kneel for an autograph.
00:07:48While the fanfare thunders outside, a haggard Gilbert corners Lewis, with frantic urgency.
00:07:53Quick!
00:07:54Let me see that poster again.
00:07:55Swallowing his confusion, Lewis bites back his questions, and pulls the image onto his screen.
00:08:00Gilbert takes one look at it, and completely loses it.
00:08:02Damn it!
00:08:03This doesn't just look familiar.
00:08:04It's identical to the classified 6th gen designs, currently guarded by the two scientists.
00:08:08He spins around sharply.
00:08:10In a trembling voice, he asks, Lewis, where did this come from?
00:08:13Lewis beams with pride.
00:08:14It came from that modification genius Brody found.
00:08:17I have to say, the exterior of his work exceeds expectations.
00:08:20It'll scare the hell out of the foreign powers.
00:08:22That way, our real 6th gen development can proceed uninterrupted.
00:08:25That remark sends Gilbert over the edge.
00:08:27Modification genius?
00:08:28He's not even in the military?
00:08:30Who exactly is he?
00:08:31Upon hearing the questions, Lewis, though confused, reveals all of your information to him.
00:08:35He's a sophomore at Southwest University.
00:08:37He works at a machinery plant over the summer.
00:08:39He's even modified quite a few machines for export.
00:08:42Don't worry, he knows where to draw the line.
00:08:44Otherwise, he'd have been caught selling firearms ages ago.
00:08:47Gilbert's face darkens.
00:08:48Brody might be in big trouble.
00:08:49I can guarantee that.
00:08:51These are the classified blueprints the two scientists have.
00:08:53That means the secrets of our project have been leaked.
00:08:56Just think about it.
00:08:57A sophomore turning farm equipment into military-grade weapons is crazy enough.
00:09:01And now he's pulled out blueprints for a classified jet.
00:09:03That's impossible, unless his background isn't what it seems.
00:09:06Lewis panics.
00:09:07How could that be?
00:09:08Gilbert has no time to explain.
00:09:09He makes a snap decision on the spot.
00:09:11Pull the promo images immediately.
00:09:13Minimize the fallout as much as possible.
00:09:15And get Brody here.
00:09:16Now, he cuts his words short, and bulk towards the airshow exhibition center.
00:09:21He has to consult the two scientists immediately.
00:09:23Dennis and Jacob are surrounded by enthusiasts.
00:09:25Firing off questions.
00:09:27Disregarding courtesy.
00:09:28Gilbert rushes in and cuts everyone short.
00:09:30He drags Dennis and Jacob into the backstage lounge.
00:09:32Dennis immediately senses something is off.
00:09:34Commissar Lane.
00:09:35What happened?
00:09:36Gilbert lets out a bitter laugh.
00:09:38He hands over the high-def promo image.
00:09:39Mr. Lark.
00:09:40Mr. Sax.
00:09:41We have a problem.
00:09:42At first, the two don't understand.
00:09:44But the moment they take the phone, their pupils contract.
00:09:46They both gasp at the same time.
00:09:48Shock written all over their faces.
00:09:50This is a 6th gen jet.
00:09:51How do you have this?
00:09:52Gilbert explains everything about you.
00:09:55This image is public.
00:09:56Our closely guarded secret is out.
00:09:58Dennis and Jacob stare at the screen.
00:10:00Their faces turning pale.
00:10:01The blueprints explicitly label the core engine.
00:10:04This isn't just a leak.
00:10:05This effectively hands a decade of national research to the enemy on a silver platter.
00:10:09This must be investigated thoroughly.
00:10:11Jacob is furious.
00:10:12He summons the R&D team.
00:10:14The atmosphere in the room is suffocating.
00:10:16The team leader is confused by the tension.
00:10:18He's still muttering to himself.
00:10:19Weren't we supposed to relax?
00:10:21Why does this feel like an interrogation room?
00:10:23Gilbert looks at everyone with a dark expression.
00:10:25The 6th gen jet blueprints have leaked.
00:10:26The room erupts in chaos immediately.
00:10:28Shock and disbelief are all over their faces.
00:10:30The blueprints sit behind a digital fortress.
00:10:33How could there be a leak?
00:10:34The team leader breaks into a cold sweat.
00:10:36Is there a mole?
00:10:37Who is it?
00:10:38Admit it now.
00:10:38And we might show leniency.
00:10:40Jacob's gaze sharpens as he stares everyone down.
00:10:43Drop the stubborn act.
00:10:44And stop underestimating the state's reach.
00:10:46Once we identify the source, the consequences will crush you.
00:10:49Despite the ultimatum, the room falls dead silent.
00:10:51Everyone still looks rather confused.
00:10:53Not a single person steps forward.
00:10:55You're still going to act all innocent?
00:10:56I guess you won't learn until it's too late.
00:10:58Hop.
00:10:58Dennis snorts coldly.
00:11:00He slams the phone onto the table.
00:11:01See for yourselves.
00:11:02Explain how this ended up.
00:11:04In a chat history, everyone rushes over.
00:11:06After a single look, a mask of uneasiness settles over every face.
00:11:09This isn't right.
00:11:10The team leader jerks his head up.
00:11:12Looking at Dennis and Jacob in disbelief.
00:11:14Mr. Lark.
00:11:15Mr. Sachs.
00:11:15Is this really our work?
00:11:17How is the data way ahead of ours?
00:11:18Dennis and Jacob freeze on the spot.
00:11:20Their minds go blank.
00:11:22Ahead of us?
00:11:22How is that possible?
00:11:23They snatch the phone back.
00:11:25Checking it like madman.
00:11:26The more they look, the more stunned they become.
00:11:28They had been too angry to look closely earlier.
00:11:30After a proper comparison, they realize it isn't a leak.
00:11:33It's practically a miracle.
00:11:34The technical deadlocks of the last decade are all solved perfectly.
00:11:38It's unbelievable.
00:11:39Jacob and Dennis tremble with emotion.
00:11:41It's precisely because of these problems that the 6th Gen project has stalled.
00:11:45But someone has just slapped the answers right in their faces.
00:11:47Who on earth drew these blueprints?
00:11:49Dennis searches his memory.
00:11:51He's sure such a prodigy doesn't exist in the Institute.
00:11:53The R&D goes into a frenzy of excitement.
00:11:55The unfathomably precise calculations raises their hair.
00:11:58This is without a doubt a once-in-a-lifetime genius.
00:12:01This logic is insane.
00:12:02Why didn't I think of that?
00:12:03Look here.
00:12:04This is our core problem.
00:12:05And it's solved so effortlessly.
00:12:06How is that person's brain wired?
00:12:08Is this really someone from our Institute?
00:12:10When did we get a big shot like this?
00:12:11Gilbert and Lewis, who came for the mole, are dumbfounded.
00:12:14Wait, weren't we here to catch the mole?
00:12:16How did it go from a mole to full-on academic idolization?
00:12:19But no one pays them any attention.
00:12:21Dennis is beside himself with joy.
00:12:22Quick, send this to HQ immediately.
00:12:24Mobilize the entire Institute to verify the authenticity of this data with full force.
00:12:29Upon getting that order, everyone lunges at their computers like wolves,
00:12:32accessing the internal network and uploading the blueprints.
00:12:35All eyes are glued to the screens.
00:12:37As they stifle their breathing, Gilbert is so nervous that he barely dares to breathe.
00:12:41That moment feels like a century.
00:12:42Suddenly, a message pops up from headquarters.
00:12:45Verification successful.
00:12:46Everything is correct.
00:12:47Dennis bursts into tears.
00:12:48The 6th Gen Jet has always been a distant dream.
00:12:51Yet amidst the lies of the air show, he has stumbled upon hope for the project.
00:12:54No.
00:12:55This isn't just hope.
00:12:57According to the data on your blueprints, the technological hurdles have been utterly destroyed.
00:13:01Jacob's voice trembles.
00:13:02Dennis, we're saved.
00:13:03Dennis clenches his fists.
00:13:05His mind races.
00:13:06He realizes the truth.
00:13:07With the blueprints you provided.
00:13:09The 6th Gen Jet can be built now.
00:13:10When this fighter jet makes its debut.
00:13:12The world won't just be in for a treat.
00:13:14It will be in for a fright.
00:13:15While the industry giants admires your masterpiece, Brody is scared out of his wits.
00:13:19So, is everything fine now?
00:13:20He still doesn't get what happened.
00:13:22Didn't he just ask you to build a model?
00:13:24Take some promo shots?
00:13:25How is he charged for leaking state secrets?
00:13:27The handcuffs are still on the table.
00:13:28Dennis whips his head around.
00:13:30No.
00:13:31This just got much bigger.
00:13:32Brody feels like his head is about to explode.
00:13:35It got bigger?
00:13:35Dennis and Jacob exchange a glance.
00:13:37They stare Brody down like hawks.
00:13:39You say the blueprints came from.
00:13:40The modification genius you found.
00:13:42Yes.
00:13:43Brody is filled with despair.
00:13:44He thinks his life is over.
00:13:45All he can do is be honest and hope for leniency.
00:13:48That genius is a student.
00:13:49At Southwest University.
00:13:50I only asked him to build a model.
00:13:52There's honestly nothing more to it.
00:13:54Dennis knits his brows.
00:13:55That may be a good school.
00:13:56But to produce a prodigy like that?
00:13:58Someone who modifies jet and solves national problems on the side?
00:14:01He just doesn't buy it.
00:14:02To them, you are now a mysterious, untouchable figure.
00:14:05Seeing their disbelief, Brody freaks out.
00:14:07If you don't believe me, I can take you to meet him right now.
00:14:10The school isn't far from here.
00:14:11Gilbert immediately snaps.
00:14:13Are you kidding?
00:14:14You want two renowned scientists?
00:14:15To meet someone we haven't even vetted?
00:14:17What if you're an enemy spy?
00:14:18What if something goes wrong?
00:14:19Who will take responsibility for that?
00:14:21Yet, Dennis and Jacob are intrigued.
00:14:23After all, you solved their 6th gen jet problem.
00:14:25Even a few minutes with you, would be worth everything to them.
00:14:28As the standoff continues, there's a knock.
00:14:30A personnel shatters the stalemate.
00:14:32Commissar Lane.
00:14:33The air show is starting.
00:14:34Can we begin the fighter jet model exhibition?
00:14:36Gilbert nods without thinking.
00:14:37The blueprints raise questions, but the one outside is still just a model.
00:14:41It shouldn't cause any real trouble.
00:14:43Even so, Dennis and Jacob can't sit still.
00:14:45They head outside to have a look.
00:14:46They want to see what kind of jet a genius capable of the impossible has built.
00:14:50Soon, everyone reaches the exhibition center.
00:14:52A massive object stands center stage, towering under a giant curtain.
00:14:56As the curtain lifts, a sleek, otherworldly silhouette suddenly appears before everyone's eyes.
00:15:01The crowd stops breathing.
00:15:02It takes a long moment, before the gasps of surprise begin.
00:15:05Wow.
00:15:06Oh my god.
00:15:06This is a future fighter jet model?
00:15:08This looks way too real.
00:15:09Everyone panics once they realize.
00:15:11The model is made of aerospace-grade metal.
00:15:13Through the glass, the cockpit looks crystal clear.
00:15:15This doesn't even look like a model.
00:15:17People start wondering, if the organizers have brought out.
00:15:20Stratos Institute's crown jewel.
00:15:21As the crowd buzzes with guesses, Dennis and Jacob arrive with Brody and the others.
00:15:26What the hell?
00:15:26A researcher swears out loud.
00:15:28Although the rest doesn't make a sound.
00:15:30They all stare wide-eyed, their lips trembling.
00:15:32They can't manage a word for a long time.
00:15:34Finally, Dennis snaps out of it.
00:15:36He turns to Brody with a look of pure shock.
00:15:38You're saying the student did this?
00:15:39Brody nods fervently, overflowing with undisguised praise.
00:15:42The guy really delivered.
00:15:43He did it all alone, and he nailed every single detail.
00:15:46Dennis and Jacob exchange a look, shock written all over their faces.
00:15:49Without a word, Dennis and Jacob head straight for the jet.
00:15:52They inspect it from top to bottom, growing more serious by the second.
00:15:55They thought Brody was exaggerating.
00:15:57But seeing the craftsmanship in person, there sure no ordinary person did this.
00:16:00The wing-to-fuselage integration is seamless, as if crafted by nature itself.
00:16:04This is a one-to-one replica, built straight from the blueprints.
00:16:07Dennis Hart races.
00:16:08If you can produce a full blueprint, you could absolutely build a real one.
00:16:12That thought makes them break into a sweat.
00:16:14They're debating calling the military, to clear the place.
00:16:16When someone in the crowd shouts, there's a manual here too.
00:16:19Dennis and Jacob hurry over.
00:16:21On a sheet of paper, bold and clear.
00:16:22Is the feature list you left for them?
00:16:24Vertical takeoff.
00:16:25Holographic stealth system.
00:16:26Full radar invisibility.
00:16:28By the last line, everyone's eyes go wide.
00:16:30The power system uses a nuclear fission reactor.
00:16:32This list of sci-fi terminology, instantly blows the crowd away.
00:16:35Are we seriously this advanced now?
00:16:37A system powered by a nuclear fission reactor?
00:16:39That's insane.
00:16:40The crowd is electrified.
00:16:42Everyone's standing a little taller.
00:16:43But when Dennis and Jacob see those words, they visibly relax.
00:16:46The earlier technology was plausible.
00:16:48But nuclear fission is pure fantasy.
00:16:50With that, they stop worrying about security leaks.
00:16:53Someone in the crowd calls out eagerly.
00:16:54Mr. Lark, Mr. Sachs, since this is from the Research Institute, can you tell us about it?
00:16:59Everyone chimes in.
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:00Give us a breakdown.
00:17:01Satisfy our curiosity, please.
00:17:03With the crowd staring expectantly, convinced it's just a big toy.
00:17:06Dennis and Jacob perk up.
00:17:07They nod at the crowd.
00:17:09Of course, let's imagine this future fighter jet together.
00:17:12Upon hearing Dennis say that, everyone is instantly pumped.
00:17:14They scramble for notebooks, afraid of missing a single word.
00:17:17Seeing everyone so worked up, Dennis lowers his hands slowly.
00:17:20This isn't a lecture.
00:17:21We're just imagining future aircraft.
00:17:23Think of it as a casual talk over tea.
00:17:25Feel free to speak your mind.
00:17:26Though some are disappointed.
00:17:28This is still a rare chance to be near such icons.
00:17:30No one's missing this.
00:17:31Dennis points at the jet.
00:17:32Do you all know?
00:17:33How vertical takeoff actually works?
00:17:35And how does it differs from normal takeoff?
00:17:37As the crowd looks confused, Dennis jumps in to explain.
00:17:40It's actually simple.
00:17:41Classic fighter jets need long runways.
00:17:43They rely on speed to change airflow.
00:17:44But that has two fatal flaws.
00:17:46It takes too long to take off.
00:17:47And it requires too much space.
00:17:49Vertical takeoff solves both issues.
00:17:51As he speaks, he walks to the model.
00:17:53The nozzle rotates down for lift.
00:17:55Then horizontal for thrust.
00:17:56Now, imagine if our aircraft carriers were packed with vertical takeoff jets.
00:18:00What happens when war breaks out?
00:18:02An enthusiast excitedly raises his hand.
00:18:04We outdeploy the enemy.
00:18:05Control the skies instantly.
00:18:07And deliver devastating attacks.
00:18:08Dennis nods approvingly.
00:18:09But his tone shifts.
00:18:11Here's the thing.
00:18:11Achieving this is nearly impossible.
00:18:13Rotating nozzles is only step one.
00:18:15The fuselage must be incredibly light.
00:18:17Because nozzle lift alone isn't enough.
00:18:19However, lighter means a weaker frame.
00:18:21As everyone absorbs the theory, Brody, a former pilot, senses a problem.
00:18:25The more he studies the model, the worse he feels.
00:18:27That thing, looks way too real.
00:18:29As he leans in for a closer look.
00:18:30Jacob says with a smile.
00:18:32Brody, hop into the cockpit and snap some photos.
00:18:34For the crowd.
00:18:35Brody nods.
00:18:36And climbs the ladder into the cockpit.
00:18:37But the moment he steps in.
00:18:39He freezes completely.
00:18:40Something is seriously wrong.
00:18:42Looking at the futuristic console.
00:18:43His head begins to spin.
00:18:45It doesn't look like a model at all.
00:18:46Brody instinctively tenses up.
00:18:48Afraid of hitting the wrong switch.
00:18:49What if it actually takes off?
00:18:51They are in the middle of a crowd.
00:18:52No way.
00:18:53What am I afraid of?
00:18:54It's just a model.
00:18:55He tells himself that.
00:18:56Brody reflexively grabs the control stick.
00:18:58The moment he feels the metal.
00:19:00His mind is blown.
00:19:01What the hell?
00:19:02This feels exactly like the real thing.
00:19:04As Jacob wonders what's taking so long.
00:19:06A cold mechanical voice blares.
00:19:07From inside the cockpit.
00:19:09Pilot detected.
00:19:10Sixth gen Skyward preparing for takeoff.
00:19:12System self-check in progress.
00:19:13Brody is completely flabbergasted.
00:19:15Isn't this supposed to be a model?
00:19:16Why is it running a self-check?
00:19:18Before he can even react.
00:19:19The LCD screen lights up.
00:19:21Life form detected nearby.
00:19:22Switching to vertical takeoff mode.
00:19:24The jet unleashes a piercing alarm.
00:19:26That echoes through the entire center.
00:19:28Warning.
00:19:28Aircraft preparing for takeoff.
00:19:30All personnel, clear the area immediately.
00:19:32The shrill alarm tears through the center.
00:19:34Everyone is stunned.
00:19:35Their minds spinning with questions.
00:19:36Isn't this just a model?
00:19:38Why is it making so much noise?
00:19:39What the heck?
00:19:40This is way too realistic.
00:19:41A spectator whips out his phone.
00:19:43To snap photos like crazy.
00:19:44It even has its own alert system.
00:19:46This model is spot on.
00:19:47Yeah.
00:19:48If I didn't know better.
00:19:49I think it was a real jet.
00:19:50Take more pictures quickly.
00:19:51This is the best part of the show.
00:19:53On the observation deck.
00:19:54Dennis and Jacob are terrified.
00:19:56They can see the cockpit from their angle.
00:19:58The screens are glowing.
00:19:59And Brody looks deathly pale inside.
00:20:01Dennis and Jacob exchange a look.
00:20:02Their hearts skipping a beat.
00:20:04Something is definitely wrong.
00:20:05What model scares a top pilot like this?
00:20:07Could that thing actually fly?
00:20:09The alarm grows louder by the second.
00:20:11Dennis suddenly snaps out of his trance.
00:20:13Disregarding his image.
00:20:14He screams at the crowd.
00:20:15That isn't a model.
00:20:16It's dangerous.
00:20:17Everyone, get out now.
00:20:18The crowd, busy snapping photos, freezes in shock.
00:20:21But it's just a model.
00:20:22Why evacuate?
00:20:23Before they can process it.
00:20:24Soldiers move in.
00:20:25Stop taking pictures.
00:20:26Watching the floor clear.
00:20:28Gilbert is baffled.
00:20:29He rushes to the observation deck.
00:20:30Mr. Lark.
00:20:31Mr. Saxe.
00:20:32What happened?
00:20:33Jacob and Dennis fall utterly silent.
00:20:34They admit they panicked.
00:20:36But thinking rationally, this can't be a real 6th gen fighter jet.
00:20:40That would be ridiculous.
00:20:41Jets like this don't just grow on trees.
00:20:43You just don't build one out of thin air.
00:20:45Never mind the rest.
00:20:46The nuclear fission power module alone, is pure science fiction.
00:20:49Even with the systems running, and the alarms blaring like crazy.
00:20:52They refuse to believe it's real.
00:20:54Dennis forces himself to stay calm.
00:20:55Just treat it as a spontaneous drill.
00:20:57Gilbert breathes a sigh of relief.
00:20:59Then his radio crackles to life.
00:21:00Commissar Lane.
00:21:01It's Brody.
00:21:02We have a problem.
00:21:03Jacob and Dennis fix their eyes on Gilbert.
00:21:05Brody, explain.
00:21:06I'm in the cockpit.
00:21:07And the system says I can start the engine.
00:21:09What do I do?
00:21:10Gilbert tenses up.
00:21:11And glances at Jacob and Dennis.
00:21:13They look stunned.
00:21:14But wave him on.
00:21:15Go ahead.
00:21:15It's likely just a simulation program.
00:21:17With their approval, Gilbert gives the order.
00:21:19Brody lets out a sigh of relief.
00:21:21Now that I have permission.
00:21:23There's nothing to fear, right?
00:21:24That said.
00:21:25The moment he grips the control stick.
00:21:26The real, solid feel makes his heart race.
00:21:28His years as a pilot tell him.
00:21:30This thing is far from straightforward.
00:21:31Gabe, that punk.
00:21:32He made this way too real.
00:21:34He hits the start button.
00:21:35And a crisp click cuts through.
00:21:36A powerful force locks him into the seat.
00:21:38He looks down to find that.
00:21:40A latch has popped out from the back of the cockpit.
00:21:42Pinning him firmly in place.
00:21:43It's just the safety harness.
00:21:45Brody shakes his head.
00:21:46Gabe really outdid himself.
00:21:47Even this looks totally real.
00:21:49He tries to undo it.
00:21:50He isn't actually flying.
00:21:51And being strapped in is uncomfortable.
00:21:53But the moment he touches the latch.
00:21:55The smart alert blares through the cockpit.
00:21:57Aircraft systems online.
00:21:58No unauthorized operations.
00:22:00Brody freezes.
00:22:01Fine.
00:22:02I'll just leave it on.
00:22:03Even though he knows it's not real.
00:22:05His professional habits won't let him slack.
00:22:07He takes a deep breath and hits start.
00:22:09A flood of high-tech alerts fills the screens.
00:22:11Fighter jet warming up.
00:22:12Preparing for takeoff.
00:22:13Environment unsuitable for taxiing.
00:22:15Switching to VTOL.
00:22:17Default flight altitude is 59,000 feet.
00:22:19Brody is dumbstruck.
00:22:20Isn't this a model?
00:22:21Why is it telling me the flight altitude?
00:22:23Damn.
00:22:23Gabe really knows how to sell it.
00:22:25He even programmed.
00:22:26All this elaborate stuff in a model.
00:22:28B. Pressure release system standing by.
00:22:30B. Thrust vectoring engines activating.
00:22:32Brody hears the professional turns.
00:22:34And laughs.
00:22:34Thrust vectoring?
00:22:35That's not even real yet.
00:22:36He scoffs in utter contempt.
00:22:38What a joke.
00:22:39Why don't you fly and prove to me that it's real?
00:22:41Before he can finish.
00:22:42A deafening roar erupts.
00:22:43The crowd panics as they watch.
00:22:45The two massive horizontal nozzles tilt down.
00:22:47Then, with a bone-shaking boom.
00:22:49The engines roar tears through the sky.
00:22:51A chill runs down everyone's spine.
00:22:52Every doubtful gaze is fixed on the jet.
00:22:55Is that noise really coming from a model?
00:22:57How can it sound that real?
00:22:58Oh my god.
00:22:59That can't be a real fighter jet, right?
00:23:01On the observation deck.
00:23:02Dennis and Jacob, who have been so sure of themselves,
00:23:04are stunned in place by your creation.
00:23:06As elite aerospace scientists, they've seen every jet imaginable.
00:23:09And yet, the moment they heard that roar, their faces transform.
00:23:12That can't be just a model.
00:23:14That's clearly the roar of a fighter jet engine.
00:23:15What the heck?
00:23:16Why would a model need to be this realistic?
00:23:18Dennis clicks his tongue in disbelief.
00:23:20Before Gilbert can even ask for confirmation,
00:23:22his radio crackles with Brody's shaky voice.
00:23:24Commissar Lane.
00:23:25The engines are running.
00:23:26It has a default altitude of 59,000 feet.
00:23:29Commissar Lane.
00:23:30I think what Gabe built is real.
00:23:31Gilbert begins to panic.
00:23:32Glancing desperately at Jacob and Dennis for guidance.
00:23:35Dennis shakes his head vigorously.
00:23:36No, that's impossible.
00:23:37If that's a 6th gen fighter jet,
00:23:39all our years of research would look like a joke.
00:23:41Jacob agrees.
00:23:42No institution could build this.
00:23:44It's impossible with current technology.
00:23:46They conclude it's a prank.
00:23:47And the noise is just a simulated sonic blast.
00:23:49Dennis tries to rationalize it.
00:23:51It's metallic exterior.
00:23:52Looks pulled from a futuristic fever dream.
00:23:55Sure, it could manage both aerodynamics and stealth.
00:23:57But it's still a manned fighter jet.
00:23:58The craziest part is the VTOL and nuclear-powered engines.
00:24:01No country on earth can pull that off.
00:24:03Dennis is practically swearing on his life.
00:24:05If that thing is real, I'll eat it.
00:24:07Just then, the jet hums to life.
00:24:08Wings deployed.
00:24:09Engines at full power.
00:24:10Nozzles rotating.
00:24:11The rapid succession of technical alerts.
00:24:13Makes Jacob and Dennis hearts race.
00:24:15Before everyone's horrified eyes.
00:24:17The lower nozzles tilt from horizontal to vertical.
00:24:20Toward the ground.
00:24:216th gen fighter jet taking off in 10 seconds.
00:24:23Dennis and Jacob go pale with shock.
00:24:25The crowd backs away in terror.
00:24:27A boom echoes.
00:24:27This can't be a simulated sonic blast.
00:24:29Real flames can be seen.
00:24:31Two scorching jets of fire roar out.
00:24:32Under everyone's stunned gaze,
00:24:34the massive fighter jet slowly lifts off the ground.
00:24:37Silence hangs for a second.
00:24:38Then all hell breaks loose.
00:24:39That's a model?
00:24:40What kind of model can do this?
00:24:41If it can actually fly,
00:24:43then all those insane features in the manual is real too.
00:24:45I thought this was an air show.
00:24:47Not a secret weapons unveiling.
00:24:48While the crowd gasps.
00:24:50Jacob and Dennis feel a shiver run down their spines.
00:24:52They can't even speak properly anymore.
00:24:54Oh my gosh.
00:24:54Has VTOL technology been mastered?
00:24:56With how the jet is running.
00:24:58There doesn't seem to be any feature cut.
00:25:00All the specs in that manual.
00:25:01Are multiple times better than our current jets.
00:25:03Could this really be the fabled 6th gen jet?
00:25:05On the observation deck.
00:25:06Dennis and Jacob stare.
00:25:07Eyes wide.
00:25:08This was supposed to be a static display.
00:25:10The 6th gen tech isn't even fully understood yet.
00:25:12And someone has actually built one.
00:25:14They're even flaunting it at the air show.
00:25:16Which genius pulled this off?
00:25:17Meanwhile, inside the cockpit.
00:25:19Brody is close to breaking down.
00:25:21Watching the ground fall away.
00:25:22He internally screams.
00:25:23Gabe.
00:25:24Are you crazy?
00:25:25I asked for a model.
00:25:26Not the real thing.
00:25:27As an ace pilot.
00:25:28Brody has flown everything.
00:25:30But he's never felt to take off this violent.
00:25:32Even a seasoned pilot like him.
00:25:33Has no idea what to do except clutch the controls tight.
00:25:36He literally doesn't know what to do.
00:25:38And at this speed.
00:25:39He'll hit 59,000 feet in the blink of an eye.
00:25:41What the hell should he do then?
00:25:42His pulse races as he waits for command.
00:25:44As the jet becomes a tiny dot in the sky.
00:25:47Jacob and Dennis finally snap out of it.
00:25:48That is definitely a real fighter jet.
00:25:50And it has tech they can't fathom.
00:25:52But a scarier problem is looming.
00:25:54An unknown fighter jet.
00:25:56Just launched into their airspace without warning.
00:25:58With no time to consult his partner.
00:26:01He whirls around to a stunned Gilbert.
00:26:02Quick.
00:26:03Contain this information.
00:26:04Not a single detail about this fighter jet can leak out.
00:26:07Gilbert grabs his radio.
00:26:09Shouting orders.
00:26:09Staff scramble to disperse the crowd.
00:26:12Then.
00:26:12The jet's real time feet comes online.
00:26:14The big screen lights up with flight data.
00:26:16One look is enough to terrify anyone.
00:26:18The jet's altitude is still skyrocketing.
00:26:20And its speed is climbing just as fast.
00:26:22At this insane rate of climb.
00:26:23It will hit 59,000 feet in just 30 seconds.
00:26:26Dennis stares at the staff.
00:26:27Is the transmitted data correct?
00:26:29They nod.
00:26:30Dead serious.
00:26:30The equipment is fine.
00:26:31If there's a bug.
00:26:32It's in the jet itself.
00:26:33Dennis orders a direct link to Brody.
00:26:35Brody.
00:26:36Our system shows you hitting.
00:26:3759,000 feet in 30 seconds.
00:26:39Are your instruments showing the same?
00:26:41Brody's trembling voice crackles through.
00:26:43Sir.
00:26:43The data matches my readings exactly.
00:26:45His words instantly send everyone into a panic.
00:26:47Mouths hang open in total disbelief.
00:26:49They can't believe their own ears.
00:26:5159,000 feet in 30 seconds is madness.
00:26:53Even the world's most advanced fighter jets could never.
00:26:55Hit that speed in a vertical climb.
00:26:57Gilbert looks completely puzzled.
00:26:59Mr. Lark, isn't flying faster a good thing?
00:27:01It saves time, doesn't it?
00:27:02Dennis draws a deep breath.
00:27:04Tamping down a tidal wave of emotion.
00:27:06Faster is good.
00:27:06But this is simply absurd.
00:27:08It's flying vertically at over Mach 2.
00:27:10That surpasses a J20's max cruising speed.
00:27:13This means the engine's thrust requirements.
00:27:14Already exceed human understanding.
00:27:16What's even more terrifying is that the wings.
00:27:18Are holding up under those forces.
00:27:20Gilbert's eyes widen instantly.
00:27:22An engine beyond world-class standards.
00:27:23Has appeared right in their own backyard.
00:27:25Before he can even process the shock, a mechanical voice cuts through the channel.
00:27:29Altitude surpasses 10,000 feet.
00:27:31Increasing output from nuclear fission module.
00:27:34Every scientist freezes in shock.
00:27:35What did it say?
00:27:36A nuclear fission power module?
00:27:38That's impossible.
00:27:39An expert exclaims.
00:27:40That is technology from a sci-fi movie.
00:27:42Who would actually put that on an aircraft?
00:27:44Yet reality leaves them no room for doubt.
00:27:45The system's voice cuts through the air again.
00:27:47Preparation complete.
00:27:49Nuclear fission power module begins accelerating.
00:27:51At 10,000 feet, the nozzles instantly expand.
00:27:53Like an erupting volcano, they shoot red flames.
00:27:56Before those on the ground can even blink.
00:27:58Speed readings soar on the display.
00:27:59In a flash, the jet goes supersonic.
00:28:01As Dennis and Jacob watch this defiance of aerodynamics.
00:28:04They are shell-shocked.
00:28:05It's flying vertically.
00:28:06Yet it's already faster than the speed of sound.
00:28:09Fighter jets usually need both engines.
00:28:10And lift to break the sound barrier.
00:28:12But with this jet climbing vertically.
00:28:14The wings are entirely redundant.
00:28:15This makes no sense.
00:28:16Does aerodynamics even exist anymore?
00:28:18And what divine material are those wings made of?
00:28:20To not rip off at this speed?
00:28:22Before they can recover.
00:28:23The numbers on the screen spike again.
00:28:25The altitude now surpasses 16,000 feet.
00:28:27And the climb rate hits 120,000 feet per minute.
00:28:30That's twice the speed of sound.
00:28:31How does this power module even operate?
00:28:33It's too fast.
00:28:35Won't something go wrong?
00:28:36Dennis turns pale with fear.
00:28:37This isn't a military zone.
00:28:39There is no mid-air refueling here.
00:28:40If the fuel runs out, it means the total destruction of the aircraft and pilot.
00:28:44Don't panic.
00:28:45Jacob says, licking his chapped lips.
00:28:47The system is smart.
00:28:48It checked its surroundings before takeoff.
00:28:49It won't be reckless.
00:28:51Dennis remembers.
00:28:52The insanely advanced intelligence of your design.
00:28:54He finally lets out a small sigh of relief.
00:28:56Just as he goes to ask Brody for an update.
00:28:58Brody's distorted scream hits the channel.
00:29:00What the hell?
00:29:01It's getting faster.
00:29:02Mach 3?
00:29:03Is this even a speed a vertical takeoff should reach?
00:29:05So this is the fearsome power of a 6th gen jet.
00:29:08The fuselage remains steady as a rock.
00:29:10It's not shaky at all.
00:29:11What futuristic tech is inside these engines?
00:29:13The thrust alone could launch a rocket into space.
00:29:15Listening to Brody's exclamations.
00:29:17The scientists and researchers zone out.
00:29:19As the top dogs in aerospace, they feel like their life's work is worthless.
00:29:22They had planned to build a 6th gen jet in 6 months.
00:29:25But looking at this data, 6 months?
00:29:27Is this thing really something humans can build?
00:29:29Suddenly, the speed gauge goes off the charts.
00:29:31400,000 feet per minute.
00:29:32Brody feels some pressure.
00:29:34But things are otherwise normal.
00:29:35Then something even more absurd happens.
00:29:37The fighter jet suddenly slows down on its own.
00:29:39All the nozzles work in perfect coordination.
00:29:41Hovering in a defiant position.
00:29:43The jet hangs steady in the air.
00:29:44The observers on the deck go numb.
00:29:46This technology has surpassed human comprehension.
00:29:48They have only one thought.
00:29:50Bring this gem back for a detailed study.
00:29:52Brody, are you alright?
00:29:53Dennis' hand trembles as he hits the comms.
00:29:55Yes, sir.
00:29:57I feel better than ever.
00:29:58Good to hear.
00:29:59Now, immediately bring it back safely to a military zone.
00:30:01Brody stares at the screens, flabbergasted.
00:30:04How do I even fly this?
00:30:05Luckily, he's an ace pilot.
00:30:06And your control system is idiot-proof.
00:30:08He begins to figure it out after a few tries.
00:30:10But as he prepares to return, a menu suddenly pops up on the screen.
00:30:14The options make his pupils shrink in shock.
00:30:16Please select the required navigation mode.
00:30:18Low-speed cruise.
00:30:19High-speed cruise.
00:30:20Maximum-speed cruise.
00:30:21Adaptive cruise.
00:30:22He doesn't dare act recklessly, until he understands the steel beast.
00:30:26After exhaling slowly, he gives the system a command.
00:30:28Set a course to the nearest military zone.
00:30:30The emotionless mechanical voice responds.
00:30:32Destination locked.
00:30:33Please select cruise mode.
00:30:34Brody hesitates, staring at the options.
00:30:36His finger trembles as he selects adaptive cruise.
00:30:39This mode emphasizes smoothness and safety.
00:30:41The best choice for a rookie's survival.
00:30:43Selection successful.
00:30:44Current mode is adaptive cruise.
00:30:45Brody finally feels the tension ease.
00:30:47He grips the control stick with both hands, and pushes it forward cautiously.
00:30:51The jet's nozzles instantly level out.
00:30:53The jet's posture returns to normal.
00:30:55Thankfully, no surprises this time.
00:30:56Brody wipes the cold sweat from his forehead.
00:30:59Just as he thinks he can finally relax.
00:31:00For a comfortable flight to a military zone, a massive, overwhelming G-force slams him back.
00:31:05He doesn't even have time to react.
00:31:06As his body is pressed firmly into the seat.
00:31:09What the hell is happening?
00:31:10Brody tries to take a deep breath to calm himself.
00:31:12He is currently over the city.
00:31:13If he makes a panic-induced mistake, forget about his own life.
00:31:17Countless civilians below would be doomed.
00:31:18Adaptive cruise mode is now on.
00:31:20It's currently in low-speed cruise mode.
00:31:22Feeling the terrifying force that could crush a person.
00:31:24Made Brody's face twitch.
00:31:25Straining to look at the dashboard, he nearly loses it.
00:31:282,292 miles per hour.
00:31:30That's already Mach 3.
00:31:31You call this low-speed cruise?
00:31:33Brody completely loses his composure.
00:31:34This damn system must have a virus.
00:31:36It says this is a low-speed cruise, but the speed shoots straight up to Mach 3 instead.
00:31:40What if I switch to high-speed cruise?
00:31:42Will I turn into light right here, and fly straight out of the galaxy?
00:31:45As Brody rants internally, Dennis Roar suddenly blasts through the channel.
00:31:48What's wrong with you, punk?
00:31:49I told you to fly steadily.
00:31:51You just went straight to Mach 3?
00:31:52Slow it down immediately.
00:31:54Listening to the barrage of scolding, Brody feels so wrong that he nearly cries.
00:31:57Mr. Lark, you can't blame me for that.
00:31:59I chose adaptive mode, and it automatically adjusted to low-speed cruise.
00:32:03Then it shot up to Mach 3.
00:32:04Brody's explanation makes Dennis jaw drop.
00:32:06This speed is considered low-speed cruise?
00:32:08The designer must have had rocket thrusters in their head.
00:32:11He whirls around to face the screen, instantly feeling unwell upon seeing it.
00:32:14Not only are the numbers not stopping, but they're actually skyrocketing.
00:32:17In the blink of an eye, the speed surges to Mach 3.6.
00:32:20That's 2,796 miles per hour.
00:32:23Dennis inhales sharply in shock.
00:32:24Other jets can't even reach this speed with afterburners.
00:32:27And this 6th gen jet is still in low-speed mode.
00:32:29What if it switches to maximum-speed cruise?
00:32:31How terrifying would the speed be then?
00:32:33At this rate, one could reach their destination in a flash.
00:32:36But the problem is, at this speed, can it even stop?
00:32:38At that moment, a staff member points at the screen, and lets out a terrified scream.
00:32:42Look!
00:32:43Speed readings have crossed Mach 4.5.
00:32:45Dennis' face changes drastically.
00:32:47He bolts to the screen and sees, the bright red numbers still shooting up.
00:32:50Mach 4.5.
00:32:51That's around 3,500 miles per hour.
00:32:54And even at such devastating speed, the system still reports the mode adds.
00:32:57Those same glaring words, low-speed cruise.
00:33:00Everyone gapes in disbelief.
00:33:01They can't even find words to describe their shock.
00:33:03But an even scarier question stares them in the face.
00:33:06At this speed, is the pilot even okay?
00:33:08Mach 4.5 produces monstrous g-forces and inertia, that no human body can endure.
00:33:12The thought makes Dennis panic instantly.
00:33:14He shouts over the comms.
00:33:15Brody, talk to me.
00:33:17How do you feel?
00:33:18Alas, all he hears is the harsh crackle of static.
00:33:21Just when everyone thinks Brody has lost consciousness, under the horrifying acceleration.
00:33:24That emotionless, mechanical voice sounds again.
00:33:27Pilot's physiological limits detected.
00:33:29Pressure resistance protection system activated.
00:33:31Brody, pinned to his seat.
00:33:33By the violent acceleration, slowly feels the crushing force ease.
00:33:36He is completely stunned.
00:33:37As he instinctively checks the screen, he freezes.
00:33:40The speed is still Mach 4.5.
00:33:42And the mode is still low-speed cruise.
00:33:43His face twitches uncontrollably.
00:33:45This is five times the speed of sound.
00:33:47And you're telling me this is low-speed cruise?
00:33:49Is this fighter jet humble bragging or something?
00:33:50But he quickly realizes an even more horrifying fact.
00:33:53From zero to Mach 5, it took less than a minute.
00:33:56Under normal circumstances, such insane acceleration would have shifted his internal organs and shattered
00:34:01his bones.
00:34:01Yet now, he feels not the slightest discomfort.
00:34:04Wait.
00:34:05It's that system alert from before.
00:34:07Upon realizing this, Brody tries lifting his legs.
00:34:09Sure enough, they move freely.
00:34:11Just then, Dennis frantic shout crackles over the channel.
00:34:13Brody, how are you feeling?
00:34:15Can you still hold on?
00:34:16Brody swallows hard.
00:34:17I feel ridiculously good.
00:34:18He reports every detail of the last few seconds.
00:34:21Hearing this, Jacob, Dennis, and the researchers behind them, all look as if they've seen a
00:34:25ghost.
00:34:26Brody is just a pilot.
00:34:27To him, the feature is merely insane.
00:34:29But Dennis knows better, and so does Jacob.
00:34:31This isn't just impressive.
00:34:32This is groundbreaking.
00:34:33Dennis throat goes dry.
00:34:35His eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
00:34:36It takes him a long moment to find his voice.
00:34:39Did we just rewrite physics?
00:34:40Jacob wears a look of utter disbelief.
00:34:42He thought he came for ideas, but everything he thought was true just went out the window.
00:34:46Eliminating inertia is forbidden territory in physics.
00:34:48Even rockets can't escape it, so astronauts have to endure.
00:34:51Crushing g-forces on launch, and now a century-old problem, has just been solved by a single feature.
00:34:56This is like digging up Newton and proving him wrong.
00:34:59But the shock isn't over yet.
00:35:00The numbers on the screen keep rising.
00:35:02Within seconds, the speed jumps from Mach 4.5 to Mach 5.
00:35:05That can't be right.
00:35:06Dennis stares at the screen, his brows tightly furrowed.
00:35:09In his understanding, only missiles travel that fast.
00:35:11Because they were lightweight.
00:35:13To push a fighter jet that fast, one will need a terrifying thrust system.
00:35:16Can our current technology even achieve that?
00:35:18At the same time, under Brody's control, the fighter races toward the Southern Warzone.
00:35:22Watching the red dot on the map, Brody finally exhales.
00:35:25This flight has been insane.
00:35:26The speed keeps climbing.
00:35:28Thankfully, he's got autopilot activated.
00:35:30Otherwise, if his hand twitches once, he might overshoot the atmosphere.
00:35:33More importantly, this aircraft is priceless.
00:35:35If he scratches it, even selling himself won't cover it.
00:35:38Inside the Southern Warzone's radar unit, a shrill alarm echoes throughout the room.
00:35:42Something is quickly approaching.
00:35:43The radar operator watches the red dot on screen.
00:35:45His face drains white in an instant.
00:35:47And his voice shakes as he reports.
00:35:49Reporting, Sir.
00:35:50A UFO is inbound at extreme speed.
00:35:52Its speed is over Mach 5.
00:35:53It's seconds away from punching into our defense zone.
00:35:56Lock onto it.
00:35:57Track it live.
00:35:58The commander of the radar unit, Wilson, thunders.
00:36:01Can you identify it?
00:36:02We've got a lock.
00:36:03But we can't identify it.
00:36:04The operator is drenched in sweat.
00:36:06As the soldiers beside him trade uneasy looks.
00:36:08A terrifying thought takes shape in every mind.
00:36:10That speed, and that flight path, could it be a foreign classified probe?
00:36:13Everyone comes to the same conclusion.
00:36:15Only a lightweight, high output probe, stripped of all dead weight, can reach such a terrifying speed.
00:36:20Anger ripples through the command room.
00:36:21They've got some nerve, barging into our airspace like this.
00:36:24One officer slams the table and stands.
00:36:26I say we intercept it now.
00:36:27No matter who it belongs to.
00:36:29We shoot it down first and ask questions later.
00:36:31They need to be taught a lesson.
00:36:32Just as the order is about to go out, Wilson keeps staring at the screen in silence.
00:36:36All of a sudden, his expression stiffens.
00:36:38He watches as the blinking red dot shifts again.
00:36:41The speed that was already insane is still climbing.
00:36:43What's going on?
00:36:45Wilson gasps.
00:36:46The radar operator doesn't hesitate.
00:36:48He immediately reruns the data calculations.
00:36:50When the numbers come back, he freezes in shock.
00:36:52Sir, it's at Mach 10 now.
00:36:53Wilson's eyes widen in disbelief at those words.
00:36:56As the commander of the radar unit, he knows exactly what that number means.
00:36:59If it were a probe, it would have disintegrated into debris already.
00:37:03Anything maintaining that speed, flying straight at them with intent.
00:37:05Can't possibly be a probe.
00:37:07There's only one explanation.
00:37:08And it's a top tier hypersonic intercontinental missile.
00:37:11Wilson's expression changes instantly.
00:37:13He roars at the top of his lungs.
00:37:15Level 1 alert.
00:37:16Sound the air defense sirens immediately.
00:37:18To verify what's happening.
00:37:19Wilson grabs the phone and calls the missile unit.
00:37:21He bellows at them the second the call connects.
00:37:23Are you running some unauthorized test?
00:37:25Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:37:27The voice on the other end sounds even more stunned.
00:37:29What are you talking about?
00:37:30We didn't launch anything.
00:37:31Cold sweat beads on Wilson's forehead.
00:37:33If it isn't their own, then it's an enemy strike.
00:37:35He slams the button.
00:37:36To activate the level 1 air defense alarm.
00:37:39The sirens rip across the entire southern military base.
00:37:42Everyone assumes war has begun.
00:37:43Soldiers abandon drills and sprint toward bunkers.
00:37:46Researchers scramble to dismantle critical equipment.
00:37:48After all, those research data sets are imperative.
00:37:51The panic doesn't stay on base.
00:37:52It spreads straight into the nearby city.
00:37:54The sirens make civilians' hearts jump into their throats.
00:37:56People pour into the streets in confusion.
00:37:58Fortunately, the army appeared just in time.
00:38:00Soldiers escort civilians into air raid shelters.
00:38:03No one knows what's happening.
00:38:04But it feels like the apocalypse just arrived.
00:38:06And it's all because of the fighter jet you designed.
00:38:08Meanwhile, Dennis and Jacob are completely stunned.
00:38:11As they monitor the data.
00:38:12Don't tell me our enemy chose to strike.
00:38:14While we're working on the 6th gen fighter jet.
00:38:16All eyes turn toward Gilbert.
00:38:17But he looks just as baffled as everyone else.
00:38:19Just then, the phone rings.
00:38:21The second Gilbert answers the call.
00:38:23Wilson's voice comes through hoarse and strained.
00:38:25Commissar lane.
00:38:25We've detected an unidentified flying object.
00:38:28It matches missile attack parameters.
00:38:29And it's closing on the base at extreme speed.
00:38:32Gilbert's eyes widen.
00:38:33He ushers Dennis and Jacob toward the bunker.
00:38:35While demanding details.
00:38:36Wilson speaks rapidly.
00:38:37It was Mach 5 when we detected it.
00:38:39But it jumped to Mach 10 in a matter of seconds.
00:38:41There's no explanation for it except a missile.
00:38:43When Gilbert hears about the speed.
00:38:45He suddenly stops running.
00:38:46He turns and rushes back to the screen.
00:38:48Staring at the data marker.
00:38:49His voice trembles slightly as he asks.
00:38:51What's the speed right now?
00:38:52Wilson pauses for a split second.
00:38:54Then reports the object's current velocity.
00:38:56Instead of panicking when he received the data.
00:38:58Gilbert exhales a breath of relief.
00:39:00You've got it wrong.
00:39:01That isn't a missile.
00:39:02It's our fighter.
00:39:03Wilson is completely stunned.
00:39:05Commissar lane.
00:39:06How can a fighter hit Mach 10?
00:39:07When did we get that kind of tech?
00:39:09Gilbert doesn't bother arguing.
00:39:10He pushes through an access authorization.
00:39:12Satellite imaging access granted.
00:39:14Wilson hesitates.
00:39:15Then opens the feed.
00:39:16The next second.
00:39:17His pupils shrink.
00:39:18On the screen is a fighter with a futuristic silhouette.
00:39:20Cutting through the sky at an impossible angle.
00:39:22Next to it.
00:39:23The data overlay appears.
00:39:24Shocking everyone to their core.
00:39:26Current speed is Mach 10.
00:39:27Flight mode.
00:39:28Low speed cruise.
00:39:28Those words strike Wilson like a bolt of lightning.
00:39:31Low speed cruise?
00:39:32You're calling Mach 10 low speed?
00:39:33Wilson continues to stare at the screen.
00:39:35He keeps verifying the coordinates.
00:39:37And they match exactly.
00:39:38What's more terrifying is.
00:39:39That the fighter isn't even vibrating.
00:39:41Despite its insane velocity.
00:39:42That means the aerodynamic design is practically flawless.
00:39:46Is that really a fighter?
00:39:47The radar unit erupts in shock.
00:39:48Wilson was about to curse a minute ago.
00:39:50But now he's left with nothing but elation.
00:39:52What does a misunderstanding matter?
00:39:54If we've broken through in aviation.
00:39:56He'd be thrilled even if they punched a hole in the sky.
00:39:58At the observation platform.
00:39:59Jacob swallows hard.
00:40:00Only one person could build something like that.
00:40:03Zach Quinby of Apex Aeronautics 601.
00:40:05Wilson wastes no time.
00:40:06He grabs the phone and calls the missile unit again.
00:40:08If he explains that this is a secret test flight.
00:40:11The crisis ends.
00:40:12However.
00:40:12The moment the line connects.
00:40:13A furious voice thunders.
00:40:15What did you say?
00:40:16A secret test flight?
00:40:17Our air defense system has auto triggered.
00:40:19The intercept missiles already launched.
00:40:20Why the hell didn't you say that sooner?
00:40:22The missile is already airborne.
00:40:23Wilson nearly blacks out from shock.
00:40:25Damn it.
00:40:26They move like snails during drills.
00:40:28But when this happens.
00:40:29They fire without blinking.
00:40:30They're finished.
00:40:31They're about to blow their own.
00:40:32State of the art prototype out of the sky.
00:40:34And Brody.
00:40:35The best pilot they've got.
00:40:36Is going down with it.
00:40:37Do they have any idea what it took to train him?
00:40:40If he dies to one of their own missiles.
00:40:42That will be an utter tragedy.
00:40:43Wilson's voice trembled at the possibility of this.
00:40:45What are you waiting for?
00:40:46Hurry up and kill the missile.
00:40:48The missile unit commander bellows in despair.
00:40:50It wasn't manual.
00:40:52Air defense auto triggered.
00:40:53It's already in the air.
00:40:54How am I supposed to stop it?
00:40:56Besides.
00:40:56It's not an ordinary interceptor.
00:40:58It's CJ9.
00:40:59The strongest missile in our defense system.
00:41:01The code hits Wilson like a punch to the gut.
00:41:03Within the unit.
00:41:03The CJ9 has a nickname.
00:41:05They call it Sentinel.
00:41:06Because once it launches.
00:41:07It doesn't stop until something's dead.
00:41:09Nothing changes its flight path.
00:41:10Not even God himself.
00:41:12We're finished.
00:41:13This isn't about resigning.
00:41:14This is a straight shot into military court.
00:41:16Just then, Wilson snaps back to himself.
00:41:18He might not have a solution.
00:41:20But Dennis and Jacob might.
00:41:21His hands shake as he grabs his phone.
00:41:23Commissar Lane.
00:41:24This is bad.
00:41:25Gilbert's brows knit together.
00:41:27Get a hold of yourself.
00:41:28However, Wilson's next sentence freezes him.
00:41:30Moments earlier, the missile unit fired a missile.
00:41:32To intercept the jet.
00:41:34Gilbert freezes where he stands.
00:41:35Don't they know it's a test flight?
00:41:37Is there any way to fix this?
00:41:38Redirect it.
00:41:39Or force an early detonation.
00:41:40Worst case, we launch another to take it out.
00:41:42On the other end of the line.
00:41:44Wilson exhales slowly.
00:41:45Commissar Lane, that won't work.
00:41:47They fired the CJ9.
00:41:48It can't be recalled.
00:41:49Let alone self-destruct.
00:41:51Besides, its maximum velocity tops out at Mach 20.
00:41:54The color drains from Dennis and Jacob's faces.
00:41:57The 6th gen prototype is right there.
00:41:58If they could just take it apart and study it.
00:42:00It'll be a significant breakthrough.
00:42:02But before they can even do that.
00:42:03They're about to watch it turn into scrap.
00:42:05Gilbert refuses to give up.
00:42:07Wilson, is there really nothing we can do?
00:42:09Silence stretches on the line.
00:42:10Wilson's voice drops low.
00:42:11Only if that jet can hit Mach 20 and fly 4,500 miles straight.
00:42:16That's the only way to deplete the CJ9's fuel.
00:42:18By the end, Wilson's voice was barely audible.
00:42:20This is a pipe dream.
00:42:22No fighter jet on earth can hit Mach 20, let alone fly 4,500 miles straight.
00:42:26The best fighters today barely manage over 600 miles.
00:42:29It's a dead end.
00:42:30Gilbert forces himself to calm down.
00:42:32All of a sudden, a reckless idea comes to mind.
00:42:34He'll instruct Brody to head for another missile base and use their own missile to shoot
00:42:38down the CJ9.
00:42:39Although it's reckless, it's the only card they have left.
00:42:41Gilbert doesn't hesitate.
00:42:43He patches through to Brody immediately.
00:42:45Inside the cockpit, Brody is in shock after hearing him.
00:42:47What kind of mess did he sign up for?
00:42:49Climbing into this experimental jet was one thing.
00:42:51Now, his own people are hunting him with live missiles.
00:42:54His luck is truly unbelievable.
00:42:55Just then, a cold mechanical voice cuts in.
00:42:57Missile lock detected.
00:42:59Analyzing threat level.
00:43:00Analysis complete.
00:43:01Threat level, zero.
00:43:02The report travels through the communication channel and reaches ground command in seconds.
00:43:06Everyone's eyes widen in disbelief.
00:43:08That's the CJ9, a top tier, Mach 20 interceptor.
00:43:11Yet this fighter's system, classified it as zero threat.
00:43:14A thought flashes through Gilbert's mind.
00:43:15What if the system's malfunctioning, but he doesn't say it out loud?
00:43:18This fighter shattered everything they thought they knew.
00:43:21What if it really can outrun the missile?
00:43:22Just then, the communication channel crackles again.
00:43:25The same emotionless, mechanical voice comes through.
00:43:27Missile speed is at Mach 10, with a distance of 310 miles.
00:43:31Threat level, one.
00:43:32Gilbert snaps his head up and locks onto the screen.
00:43:34The numbers match perfectly.
00:43:36CJ9 is flying at Mach 10, and its distance is exactly 310 miles away.
00:43:40It's entirely accurate.
00:43:41Gilbert's pupils shrink.
00:43:43Dennis, Jacob, and the researchers beside them, feel their jaws drop.
00:43:46If the system reads the data that precisely, does that mean, the threat level is accurate,
00:43:50too?
00:43:50One researcher ventures cautiously.
00:43:52Does that mean a level 1 alert?
00:43:53The moment he says that, the room goes heavy.
00:43:55Traditionally, level 1 means catastrophic impact.
00:43:58Dennis turns pale.
00:43:59The spark of hope that had just lit flickers dangerously.
00:44:02Just then, Brody's voice breaks the tense silence.
00:44:04That's right, that does represent a level 1 threat.
00:44:06But the system shows, the maximum threat level is 1000.
00:44:10For a second, nobody processes it.
00:44:12What?
00:44:12The cap is 1000, but it's only showing 1.
00:44:14That's barely a threat at all.
00:44:16Before anyone can digest that, the system speaks again.
00:44:19Missile speed is currently Mach 13, with a distance of 220 miles.
00:44:22Current threat level is 1.
00:44:24That renders everyone speechless.
00:44:25The missile just gained 3 Mach.
00:44:27The gap shrank by nearly a quarter, but the system's threat rating, hasn't changed at all.
00:44:31Are we sure it's not a human error, or a bug?
00:44:33Even Brody has gotten nervous now, as he watches the interceptor grow larger.
00:44:37Sweat runs down his spine.
00:44:38Commissar Lane, it's almost on me.
00:44:40What do I do?
00:44:41Strangely, Gilbert becomes calmer.
00:44:42He bellows into the microphone.
00:44:44Brody, your only option is to eject immediately.
00:44:46It's 65,000 feet up, and your odds aren't great.
00:44:49But it's better than staying in that cockpit.
00:44:51Brody sobs.
00:44:52Commissar Lane, I can't find the ejection button.
00:44:54Gilbert freezes, an advanced, 6th gen fighter, has no visible escape system.
00:44:58What kind of design is that?
00:44:59Are they supposed to watch the pilot go down with the jet?
00:45:02The air in the room turns heavy.
00:45:03At the 11th hour, the mechanical voice echoes once more.
00:45:06Threat level increasing.
00:45:07Aircraft accelerating.
00:45:09Dennis points at the screen as he yells, look at the data.
00:45:11The fighter jet speed indicator surges to Mach 12.
00:45:14It just hit Mach 12, and it's still climbing.
00:45:16Before anyone can react, Brody's trembling voice carries over the channel.
00:45:19It's been in low-speed cruise until now.
00:45:21It's switching to high-speed mode.
00:45:23Everyone stiffens at his words.
00:45:24Apparently, Mach 12 was a low-speed cruise.
00:45:26Brody's palms are slick with sweat.
00:45:28As he grips the control stick and shoves it forward, a heavy resistance pushes back through
00:45:32his arms.
00:45:33An overwhelming wave of g-force slams him into the seat.
00:45:35Entering high-speed cruise mode.
00:45:37Pressure release system adjusted.
00:45:38Brody's body suddenly feels lighter.
00:45:40The suffocating pressure disappears almost instantly.
00:45:43When he looks at the screen again, his mind goes blank.
00:45:45Commissar Lane, he's entered high-speed mode.
00:45:48Dennis' voice trembles as he speaks.
00:45:49Surviving a Mach 20 pursuit is practically a miracle.
00:45:52What's its current speed?
00:45:53An operator swallows hard.
00:45:55Sir, it's currently traveling at Mach 17.
00:45:57Moreover, the acceleration curve isn't gradual.
00:45:59It's spiked instantly.
00:46:00The words hit like a hammer.
00:46:02Stunning all of the experts present.
00:46:03Gilbert stammers to confirm.
00:46:05How fast is it?
00:46:06How is this possible?
00:46:07Dennis stares at the line.
00:46:09That defies every law of propulsion and disbelief.
00:46:11Any engine needs a warm-up and a proper climb.
00:46:13But this fighter completely ignores the rules of physics.
00:46:16There's only one explanation.
00:46:17He says, barely believing himself.
00:46:19Mach 17 isn't this aircraft's limit.
00:46:21Before the word settled, the alarm blares again.
00:46:23Missile speed is reaching maximum Mach 20.
00:46:25And the 6th gen jet is matching its speed.
00:46:27The room goes silent.
00:46:28Their minds are completely blank.
00:46:30It's 20 times the speed of sound.
00:46:32What on earth is this monster?
00:46:33Despite the impossible display, the crisis isn't over.
00:46:36Wilson's voice comes through the channel.
00:46:37If you want to shake it, you have to burn out its fuel.
00:46:40That means flying at least 4,500 miles at this speed.
00:46:43The temperature in the room seems to drop.
00:46:44At that velocity and range, the fuel consumption would be catastrophic.
00:46:48Most conventional fighter jets won't last.
00:46:50Brody's voice returns, calm and steady.
00:46:52Commissar Lane, Mr. Lark.
00:46:53I'm switching to extreme speed mode.
00:46:55Dennis and Jacob both freeze.
00:46:57It's already at Mach 20.
00:46:58And it can still accelerate?
00:46:59Does that mean the nuclear fission reaction is real?
00:47:01No matter how impossible it seems, this is still their last chance.
00:47:05Gilbert instantly makes a decision.
00:47:06You have my approval to switch modes.
00:47:08Brody draws in a deep breath.
00:47:09And pushes the control stick forward again.
00:47:11The fighter's mirror-smooth fuselage suddenly fractures.
00:47:14As countless aerodynamic vents snap open.
00:47:16Releasing a piercing, metallic scream.
00:47:18Several concealed thrusters erupt from the rear.
00:47:20Unfolding into formation.
00:47:21Before blasting out columns of flame.
00:47:23The jet sheds every trace of its earlier elegance.
00:47:26What remains is something terrifying.
00:47:28Like a massive ancient prey.
00:47:29That has finally bared its fangs.
00:47:31As the jet's shape shifts.
00:47:32The numbers on the screen begin climbing.
00:47:34Extreme speed mode activated.
00:47:35Current speed is Mach 22.
00:47:37Brody barely has time to register it.
00:47:39Before the G-Force shoves him back again.
00:47:41Warning.
00:47:42Speed is exceeding Mach 27.
00:47:44Current speed is Mach 30.
00:47:45On the observation platform.
00:47:46Dennis, Jacob, and everyone else in the room freeze.
00:47:49This isn't a fighter jet.
00:47:50Gilbert says.
00:47:51His voice trembling despite himself.
00:47:52At that speed.
00:47:53It's practically a rocket.
00:47:54Inside the cockpit.
00:47:55As the fighter hits Mach 30.
00:47:57Brody feels the suffocating pressure disappear instantly.
00:48:00The missile is now falling behind.
00:48:01And Brody grins.
00:48:02He sneers into the communication channel.
00:48:04I thought it was supposed to be unstoppable.
00:48:06But it's not that impressive after all.
00:48:07Everyone stares at the screen in disbelief.
00:48:09Just minutes ago.
00:48:10He could barely get a sentence out.
00:48:12Now that he has speed on his side.
00:48:13He's talking trash.
00:48:14Dennis and Jacob's faces flush red.
00:48:16What had looked like certain death.
00:48:18Has turned into an unexpected breakthrough.
00:48:19In their minds.
00:48:20Calculations are already racing ahead.
00:48:22Once this jet lands.
00:48:23They'll instantly tear it down.
00:48:25And study every inch of it.
00:48:26When it rolls out at the next international air show.
00:48:28The world shall see.
00:48:29Who's the true leader.
00:48:30The room is still riding that surge of triumph.
00:48:32When Gilbert suddenly shouts.
00:48:34Brody.
00:48:34Slow down.
00:48:35Now.
00:48:35Slow down.
00:48:36Now.
00:48:37The command snaps Brody out of his confidence.
00:48:39Commissar Lane.
00:48:40I was just joking.
00:48:41He assumes his earlier remark.
00:48:42Must have annoyed Gilbert.
00:48:43But Gilbert's tone hardens.
00:48:45I'm not joking.
00:48:46Brody feels the sting of frustration.
00:48:47But orders are orders.
00:48:49No matter how unwilling he is.
00:48:50He has to obey them.
00:48:51Just then.
00:48:52Gilbert explains.
00:48:53CJ9 is over the city right now.
00:48:55It'll trigger self-destruction if it loses target lock.
00:48:57If you shake it here.
00:48:58It'll detonate above the city.
00:49:00The consequences will be fatal.
00:49:01Upon hearing this.
00:49:02Brody doesn't hesitate.
00:49:03He yanks the control stick back and decelerates.
00:49:06Dropping from Mach 30 down to Mach 20 in seconds.
00:49:08Forcing the missile to lock back onto his tail.
00:49:10He doesn't know what the safe distance is.
00:49:12But if he keeps accelerating.
00:49:13The city will be done for.
00:49:14If someone has to take the impact.
00:49:16Brody would rather it be him.
00:49:18The researchers go pale again.
00:49:19Their flicker of hope has just been snuffed out again.
00:49:22No.
00:49:23It's not over yet.
00:49:24Dennis drags a finger across the map.
00:49:26Look here.
00:49:26About 60 miles to the right is the open sea.
00:49:28Gilbert reacts instantly.
00:49:30Brody.
00:49:30Divert the missile toward the nearest ocean.
00:49:32Re-engage and break away once you're over water.
00:49:34Brody adjusts navigation at once.
00:49:36Locking onto the closest stretch of open sea.
00:49:38When the red dot on the screen shifts course successfully.
00:49:41Gilbert exhales in relief.
00:49:42However.
00:49:43That sector includes a naval base.
00:49:44Any fallout could be catastrophic.
00:49:46He grabs the phone without delay.
00:49:47There's a fighter heading toward your area.
00:49:49Take immediate precautions.
00:49:50The naval commander sounds confused.
00:49:52It's just a fighter jet.
00:49:54What's with the theatrics?
00:49:55But Gilbert's response nearly stuns him into silence.
00:49:57It's being chased by a CJ-9 interceptor.
00:49:59It has to be detonated at sea.
00:50:01Clear the area immediately.
00:50:03And minimize damage.
00:50:04The naval commander is stunned.
00:50:05A missile?
00:50:06And it's flying at Mach 20.
00:50:08No less.
00:50:08This is something straight out of a movie.
00:50:10This is something straight out of a movie.
00:50:12Remember.
00:50:13This is top secret.
00:50:14Gilbert reminds him over the phone.
00:50:16Understood.
00:50:17The naval commander hangs up.
00:50:18Sweating.
00:50:18He starts barking orders immediately.
00:50:20Notify every patrol aircraft in the airspace.
00:50:23To clear out now.
00:50:23No one intercepts.
00:50:25The message spreads across the entire sector.
00:50:26The pilots still on patrol barely have time to react.
00:50:29Before a street tears across.
00:50:30The sky above them at a terrifying speed of Mach 20.
00:50:33A missile brimming with killing intent tails after it.
00:50:35Everyone watching is stunned into silence.
00:50:37Brody grips the control stick tight.
00:50:39Guiding the fighter toward the open sea.
00:50:41As he gets extreme speed mode back on.
00:50:42The fuselage snaps open with multiple vents.
00:50:45The rear nozzles split from four into eight.
00:50:47Each blasting out violent plumes of fire.
00:50:49The missile that had been glued to his tail.
00:50:50Is thrown back 185 miles in an instant.
00:50:53Then comes a thunderous detonation.
00:50:55The missile finally self-destructs over the open sea.
00:50:57Brody glances back and sees.
00:50:59The sea ripped open.
00:51:00A massive crater.
00:51:00Punching through the surface.
00:51:02Only then does he let out a breath of relief.
00:51:04If that force had hit him head on.
00:51:05Even an aircraft carrier would be done.
00:51:07Let alone a fighter jet.
00:51:08Gilbert's tightly drawn brows finally ease.
00:51:11The crisis is finally over.
00:51:12Dennis and Jacob exchange a bitter smile.
00:51:14Though the shock in their eyes is impossible to hide.
00:51:16This fighter is insane.
00:51:17What is the engine made of?
00:51:19Every pair of eyes burns with passion.
00:51:20If they could, they would tear it apart right now.
00:51:22And study every inch of it.
00:51:24When the fighter lands smoothly.
00:51:25Dennis and Jacob.
00:51:26Two old men who usually walk with care.
00:51:28Practically jog toward it.
00:51:29Their trembling hands press against the cold fuselage.
00:51:31The solid, undeniable touch breaks them.
00:51:34Dennis, did you see that?
00:51:35We lived long enough to see this.
00:51:36They look at each other.
00:51:37Speechless.
00:51:38Tears well up in their eyes.
00:51:39This isn't just a fighter jet.
00:51:40It's their lifelong aspiration.
00:51:42After a long moment.
00:51:43Jacob wipes his tears away.
00:51:44Quick.
00:51:45Get in touch with Zach.
00:51:47Ask if this is his doing.
00:51:48At the same time, Zach sits at the head of the conference table.
00:51:51Pride written all over his face.
00:51:52Comrades, after 13 years of work, we finally have a breakthrough.
00:51:56Give us another 2 or 3 years.
00:51:57And the world's first 6th gen fighter jet will be born in our hands.
00:52:00The room erupts in applause.
00:52:02Everyone is flushed with excitement for the blueprint.
00:52:04The door suddenly opens.
00:52:05And his assistant rushes in.
00:52:07Mr. Quimby, Mr. Lark is on the line.
00:52:09He's asking about the 6th gen fighter jet.
00:52:11Zach freezes.
00:52:12The 6th gen?
00:52:12They have only just achieved a minor breakthrough.
00:52:14How did Dennis already know?
00:52:16Did word leak that fast?
00:52:17His heart skips a beat.
00:52:18But to figure out what is going on, Zach forces himself to calm down.
00:52:22Just as he's about to speak.
00:52:23Dennis says without preamble.
00:52:25Zach, have you had a breakthrough with your research?
00:52:27Into the 6th gen fighter jet?
00:52:28Zach's vision nearly goes dark.
00:52:30This is bad.
00:52:31Very bad.
00:52:32The truth is, he was planning to announce it.
00:52:34Only after full construction began.
00:52:36Now, they barely warmed up the idea.
00:52:38And Dennis already knows.
00:52:39He quickly regains his composure and demands.
00:52:41How did you find out?
00:52:42I didn't just find out.
00:52:43I saw it with my own eyes.
00:52:45Zach is completely thrown.
00:52:46Saw it?
00:52:47Did Dennis plant a mole in his institute?
00:52:49Anger flares instantly.
00:52:50They may be competitors.
00:52:52But planting moles just to get ahead is a low move.
00:52:54And so he snaps into the phone.
00:52:56Dennis Lark.
00:52:57You've got some nerve.
00:52:59You planted a mole to steal our progress?
00:53:00Let me be clear.
00:53:01I don't care what tricks you pull.
00:53:03We're building the 6th gen fighter jet first.
00:53:05On the other end, Dennis is equally baffled.
00:53:07You've already flown the thing in my face.
00:53:09And now you're accusing me of planting moles?
00:53:10Two renowned scientists are arguing like children over the phone.
00:53:14For a full 10 minutes, Dennis is finally exhausted and snaps into the phone.
00:53:18Enough.
00:53:19Stop playing games with me.
00:53:20I'm standing next to the 6th gen fighter jet now.
00:53:22Zach lets out a disbelieving laugh.
00:53:24Dennis is downright lying.
00:53:26They just completed the blueprint.
00:53:27And he claims to be standing next to the finished jet.
00:53:29He lets out a cold laugh.
00:53:31Fine.
00:53:32If you're standing next to it, get on video call so I can see.
00:53:35Zach expects hesitation.
00:53:36But much to his surprise, a video call from Dennis pops up immediately.
00:53:40Zach is stunned for a moment.
00:53:41The second he accepts, Dennis' face fills the screen, his eyes blazing.
00:53:45Then the camera shifts.
00:53:46A futuristic fighter jet stands there in full view.
00:53:48As soon as he sees that, Zach goes rigid.
00:53:50He grabs his own concept drawings, and compares them to the on-screen jet.
00:53:54They're a perfect match.
00:53:55How can this be?
00:53:56After the shock fades, Zach forces himself to think.
00:53:58There's no way that's a real fighter jet.
00:54:00The only explanation is a model.
00:54:01Dennis must be using a mock-up to mess with him.
00:54:03At the thought of that, relief washes over him.
00:54:05He then says with disdain, Dennis, I get that you want to be first, but using a model to
00:54:09fool me is a low blow.
00:54:11Who on this planet can build, a 6th gen fighter jet right now?
00:54:13That trick's too obvious.
00:54:15Dennis almost explodes in anger.
00:54:17He watched that aircraft, take off vertically at Mach 3, and outrun a CJ9 at Mach 30.
00:54:22Now, Zach's telling him it's a model, but a new thought forms instantly.
00:54:25Judging by Zach's reaction, what if he didn't build it either?
00:54:28Looking at Dennis' serious expression, Zach is confused as well.
00:54:31Dennis, what on earth is going on?
00:54:33Dennis recounts everything that had happened.
00:54:35Zach is speechless.
00:54:37Are you serious?
00:54:38Mach 30?
00:54:39Are you sure it wasn't a rocket?
00:54:41Zach doesn't want to believe it, but Dennis' expression is dead serious.
00:54:44He doesn't seem to be joking.
00:54:45Could someone really have built a 6th gen fighter jet?
00:54:47Zach can't sit still anymore.
00:54:49If Dennis didn't build it, and he didn't build it, then who built such a magnificent fighter?
00:54:53He has to take a look for himself.
00:54:55Without hesitation, he yells at his assistant.
00:54:57Quick!
00:54:58Book me the fastest trip to Sarnby.
00:54:59I'm leaving immediately.
00:55:01When the call ends, every expert in the room looks shell-shocked.
00:55:04Isn't this supposed to be Zach's project?
00:55:05But judging from that argument, he clearly knows nothing about it.
00:55:08Then what kind of genius can build that monster?
00:55:11Dennis and Jacob lock eyes.
00:55:12A bitter taste welling up in their mouths.
00:55:14After all that chaos, they realize they've been wrong.
00:55:16While everyone is panicking like headless chickens, someone in the crowd suddenly shouts.
00:55:20I remember now.
00:55:21Wasn't Brody the one who handled the model for the jet?
00:55:23Dennis slaps his thigh.
00:55:25You're right.
00:55:25A group of scientists storms straight toward Brody.
00:55:27Brody is still floating from the adrenaline, replaying in his head how he shook off a CJ-9
00:55:32with the modified fighter jet.
00:55:33When he sees two heavyweights marching toward him, he snaps upright instantly.
00:55:36Who modified this fighter jet?
00:55:38Dennis asks without preamble.
00:55:40Brody freezes long enough to send the two old men into an early grave.
00:55:43It was a part-timer at a machinery plant.
00:55:45Dennis eyes widen.
00:55:46Brody rushes to explain.
00:55:48We found records showing he'd modified farm equipment into weapons and sold them overseas.
00:55:52That's why we specially hired him to modify this J-10.
00:55:54Dennis turns and stares at the futuristic jet, feeling like his intelligence has just been
00:55:58insulted.
00:55:59Modify?
00:56:00This is basically a brand new jet build from scratch.
00:56:02I want his full details.
00:56:03Dennis stomps his foot in agitation.
00:56:05Brody scratches his head.
00:56:06His name's Gabe Morris.
00:56:08He's a sophomore at Southwest University.
00:56:10The entire group is in disbelief.
00:56:11He turned farm equipment into weapons and modified a J-10 into a 6th gen fighter jet.
00:56:16And the person behind it is a sophomore?
00:56:18Dennis doesn't want to believe it.
00:56:19But he knows Brody wouldn't dare lie.
00:56:21If you're really just a sophomore, then you're definitely no ordinary Joe.
00:56:24Dennis eyes flicker.
00:56:25He instantly decides to head to your workplace and find you himself.
00:56:29Gilbert suddenly cuts in.
00:56:30Mr. Quimby's already on the way with his team.
00:56:32Dennis forces down the urge to bolt immediately and decides to wait for Zach.
00:56:36Not long after, Zach arrives with a massive research team in tow.
00:56:39The moment he sees the enormous fighter, even he looks shaken.
00:56:42This really is a 6th gen fighter jet.
00:56:44Skepticism floods his face.
00:56:45As he gestures for instruments to be set up, he refuses to believe an unknown kid like you
00:56:50is capable of building something like this.
00:56:52A metal detector is pressed against the fuselage.
00:56:54The LCD screen lights up with the number 800.
00:56:57Zach's eyes widen instantly.
00:56:58His hands begin to tremble.
00:56:59The strongest metal currently known to mankind caps at around 700.
00:57:03And the material you used is reading 800.
00:57:05As the number continues climbing, the entire crowd freezes in shock.
00:57:09Zach points at the screen, feeling a lump in his throat.
00:57:11That's impossible.
00:57:12Dennis draws a deep breath.
00:57:13You might not believe this, but it has more structural strength than a carrier.
00:57:17Before Zach can process that, an alarm suddenly blares.
00:57:20A loud bang follows almost instantly.
00:57:22The instrument spews thick black smoke.
00:57:23Zach stands there, stunned.
00:57:25They just spent a fortune buying that brand new device.
00:57:27And now it's scrap.
00:57:28Could it be that even the detector can't measure the metal's structural strength?
00:57:31A researcher inspecting the equipment suddenly screams.
00:57:34Mr. Quimby, this is bad.
00:57:36We've lost administrative control.
00:57:38Even the base code's been altered.
00:57:39Zach's mind goes completely blank.
00:57:41It isn't that the device couldn't handle the metal.
00:57:43As it turns out, the fighter jet hacked it.
00:57:45After a long moment, he slowly turns his head toward Dennis.
00:57:48Dennis, where did you get this fighter jet?
00:57:49Dennis stays silent.
00:57:51Every pair of eyes shifts toward Brody.
00:57:53Under that crushing pressure, Brody swallows hard.
00:57:55He begins uncertainly.
00:57:56Would you believe me?
00:57:57If I told you the person who built this fighter jet is just a sophomore in university?
00:58:01A university student built a 6th gen fighter jet?
00:58:03That has got to be a joke.
00:58:05That idea would have sounded like pure fantasy.
00:58:07To this room full of elite scientists.
00:58:08But after witnessing the jet's performance firsthand, every last shred of doubt has vanished.
00:58:13Anyone who still refuses to believe it would be an idiot.
00:58:15Right now, there's only one thought echoing in their heads.
00:58:18They have to meet this mysterious genius.
00:58:19For the future of the nation's aviation industry, Dennis ignores the fact that there's still a rivalry.
00:58:24He turns straight to Zach and asks if he's coming.
00:58:26Zach immediately nods.
00:58:28Brody doesn't hesitate to pull his phone.
00:58:30He mutters, but he's still a student.
00:58:32He might have class today.
00:58:33That sounds wrong in the ears of these renowned scientists.
00:58:35But for the sake of science, they endure it.
00:58:38Meanwhile, you're bored out of your mind.
00:58:39Ever since the last modification stirred up too much noise, you decisively cut off all foreign business.
00:58:44To kill time, you've been fixing tractors at your uncle's machinery plant.
00:58:47Just a moment ago, you were staring at a broken down tractor.
00:58:50Considering whether to swap the wheels for tracks.
00:58:52And maybe mount a pesticide launching barrel on it for fun.
00:58:55Just then, Brody calls.
00:58:56Your heart skips a beat.
00:58:58Did something go wrong with the fighter jet?
00:58:59You take professional ethics seriously.
00:59:01You even wrote an after-sales clause into the contract.
00:59:03So you answer with a hint of trepidation.
00:59:06Is something wrong with the fighter jet?
00:59:07Send me the address.
00:59:08I'll come fix it.
00:59:09Brody sounds flustered.
00:59:10No, no.
00:59:12The fighter jet's fine.
00:59:13It performed way beyond expectations.
00:59:15You let out a breath of relief.
00:59:16That's good to hear.
00:59:17A few important people are interested in your work.
00:59:19They'd like to meet you.
00:59:20You frown at the sound of that.
00:59:22Meet me?
00:59:22That's not covered under after-sales service.
00:59:24You're about to refuse when a thought occurs to you.
00:59:26This is the most loaded client you've ever had.
00:59:29If they're not complaining, they're probably bringing money.
00:59:31If you can land a few more eight-figure deals, you instantly change your tune.
00:59:35Fine.
00:59:36I've got something to handle today.
00:59:37But you can come tomorrow.
00:59:39I'll be at the machinery plant.
00:59:40You hang up and go back to repairing the tractor.
00:59:42Completely unaware of the chaos on the other end.
00:59:44The moment Dennis hears he has to wait until tomorrow, he slaps the table impatiently.
00:59:48I'm not leaving.
00:59:50I'll sleep here tonight.
00:59:51Gilbert blinks in astonishment.
00:59:53Mr. Lark, we've arranged a hotel for you.
00:59:55Don't need it.
00:59:55Dennis waves his hand.
00:59:57I'm sleeping right here.
00:59:58Next to the fighter jet.
00:59:59It isn't just him, even the usually rational Jacob looks feverish, while Zach looks like
01:00:03he'd crawl straight into the engine.
01:00:04The three scientists spend the entire night on the plaza, studying the fighter jet like
01:00:08men possessed.
01:00:09By the time the bus finally pulls out the next morning, exhaustion hits them all at once,
01:00:13and they slump in their seats, sleeping unceremoniously.
01:00:15Upon arrival, Gilbert steps forward to do the introductions.
01:00:18This is Gabe.
01:00:19He then gestures toward the three old men, and says to you, these are our nation's top scientists,
01:00:24the heads of Stratos Institute and Apex Aeronautics.
01:00:26Hearing those titles would make anyone's knees buckle, but you just nod calmly.
01:00:30Everyone is alarmed.
01:00:31You aren't nervous at all.
01:00:32They're certain you're a mysterious expert.
01:00:34Since they finally have you in front of them, Dennis and the others drop all courtesy.
01:00:37They pull out the questions they prepared overnight.
01:00:40These are problems that have plagued them for years.
01:00:42You answer smoothly.
01:00:43Not only that, you find most of them a little too basic.
01:00:45Half an hour later, the three scientists stare at pages filled with dense notes, feeling
01:00:49both exhilarated and deeply shaken.
01:00:51That's when it really hits them.
01:00:52There are true geniuses in this world.
01:00:54Dennis can't hold back anymore.
01:00:55His voice trembles as he asks the most important question.
01:00:58Gabe, how long did it take you to build that fighter?
01:01:00You scratch your head and think carefully.
01:01:02If we're counting the time it took to buy parts and all, probably less than a month.
01:01:05You say it like it means nothing, but everyone stares at you in disbelief.
01:01:09You've got to be joking.
01:01:10You took less than a month to modify a 6th gen jet?
01:01:12That's impossible.
01:01:13Dennis goes quiet instantly, but he's already running the calculations in his mind.
01:01:17Even if the blueprint is complete, and you have unlimited materials, half a month would
01:01:21barely be enough to assemble an engine.
01:01:23And that's assuming factory conditions.
01:01:25But most of your parts had to be custom molded on site.
01:01:27The process alone would be a logistical nightmare, which is why no one believes you.
01:01:31Dennis even thinks you're padding your story for credit, and that you're insulting their
01:01:34intelligence with a clumsy lie.
01:01:36Just then, Brody suddenly leans in.
01:01:38Mr. Lark.
01:01:39He actually spent less time than that.
01:01:41He wasn't just modifying the J-10.
01:01:42He didn't miss a single class either.
01:01:44That's the moment Dennis nearly loses it.
01:01:46In less than half a month, you hand-built the world's first 6th gen fighter jet, and still
01:01:50managed to maintain full attendance.
01:01:52Brody paid you 10 million dollars for the modification, and you still showed up for
01:01:55lectures.
01:01:56How much do you have to love school?
01:01:57It takes the room a long moment to recover.
01:01:59Everyone turns to stare at the massive factory behind you.
01:02:02They need to know, what kind of setup allows someone, to pull off something like this?
01:02:05I'll show you around.
01:02:06Brody steps forward and yanks the rolling door.
01:02:08The moment it rises, the walls of precision instruments come into view.
01:02:12Dennis rushes in first, examining them closely.
01:02:14Some of the equipment he doesn't even recognize, and some were entirely brand new.
01:02:18Top tier equipment that's unheard of.
01:02:20Zack's eyes go wide.
01:02:21You call this a warehouse?
01:02:22The value of these instruments alone, exceeds what we've got in a government-owned lab.
01:02:26Brody looks completely lost.
01:02:27He distinctly remembers delivering scrap metal here.
01:02:30When did it turn into a high-end research facility?
01:02:32What he doesn't know, is that before modifying the fighter jet, you upgraded the entire factory.
01:02:37To speed up your progress, you used the military materials for the core components,
01:02:41and built everything else by hand.
01:02:42And when you were done, you left it all here.
01:02:44Hey, take a look.
01:02:46What is that?
01:02:47Someone suddenly shout.
01:02:48Everyone turns in the direction of the noise, only to see a massive whiteboard in the corner.
01:02:52Across the top is a title written in thick black marker.
01:02:55Modification plan.
01:02:56Below it are dense layers of blueprints.
01:02:57Dennis hurriedly puts on his reading glasses, and leans so close his face is almost touching
01:03:01the board.
01:03:02A chill runs down his spine.
01:03:03The blueprints don't just disassemble the J-10.
01:03:05They dissect it like surgical mapping.
01:03:07Which discarded parts can be reused, which need polishing, and which should be scrapped entirely?
01:03:11Was completely analyzed.
01:03:13Looking at the blueprint, the experts in the room are completely stunned.
01:03:16They thought they had thoroughly studied the fighter, but they now realize how shallow their
01:03:20understanding is.
01:03:21Compared to your blueprint, their questions earlier were too easy.
01:03:23The realization fills them with despair.
01:03:25For decades, Dennis has lived and breathed research.
01:03:28He has never once experienced such defeat.
01:03:30But it quickly turns into an obsessive hunger to learn more.
01:03:33Still, he has one massive doubt.
01:03:34Gabe, I'd like to meet the members of your team.
01:03:36In his view, you must have a massive and formidable team behind you to complete a project of this
01:03:41scale.
01:03:41Within this timeline, perhaps even one larger and more capable than his own.
01:03:45He waits, full of expectation.
01:03:46But you simply shake your head, looking confused.
01:03:49A team?
01:03:49You've already seen them.
01:03:50My team is just me.
01:03:52Every face in the room practically has disbelief.
01:03:54Written all over it.
01:03:55You don't believe me?
01:03:56Dennis eyes sharpen.
01:03:57He decides to catch you in your lie.
01:03:58I have a few questions.
01:04:00I'd like your thoughts on.
01:04:01You nod without hesitation.
01:04:02Of course, he deliberately avoids asking about the fighter jet.
01:04:05Instead, he discusses foundational aerospace theories.
01:04:08It's a ruthless move.
01:04:09If you fail to answer, it'll immediately prove that you have a team behind you.
01:04:12You listen to the questions, without needing to think.
01:04:15You explain the principles, the logic, and even extend into higher level problems.
01:04:19All in one continuous flow.
01:04:20The delivery was smooth, and cleaner than any textbook explanation.
01:04:24Brody's eyes go wide.
01:04:25He tugs at Gilbert's sleeve and whispers, Commissar Lane, what is he talking about?
01:04:29Gilbert rolls his eyes.
01:04:30You're asking me?
01:04:31How am I supposed to know?
01:04:32The three scientists stare at you.
01:04:34Their jaws agape.
01:04:35Dennis is deeply shaken.
01:04:36Almost instinctively, he probes further.
01:04:38Did you learn all of this in school?
01:04:40Yeah.
01:04:41Isn't it basic knowledge?
01:04:42You shrug casually, flexing on them.
01:04:44They're pretty simple.
01:04:45They don't take much time to pick up.
01:04:46You can even solve one of the 6th gen fighter jet's core problems.
01:04:50For example, you glance around, drag the large whiteboard into the center, and pick up a marker.
01:04:54You instantly start writing.
01:04:56At first, everyone looks confused by your actions.
01:04:58Then, the expressions of the three scientists shift.
01:05:01You're deriving formulas.
01:05:02These are the core problems, that two major research institutes, have been calculating for years without solving.
01:05:07Every pair of eyes locks onto the tip of your marker.
01:05:09The longer they watch, the more unsettled they become.
01:05:12Your formulas are completely correct.
01:05:14They're more concise than their own algorithms, and more refined.
01:05:17This method of calculation, is something they've never seen before?
01:05:20Doubt turns into shock, shock transforms into fervor.
01:05:22The three scientists completely lose it.
01:05:24They crowd around you like eager students, firing off questions about every detail.
01:05:28Gilbert stands to the side, questioning reality.
01:05:31Are these the same aloof, untouchable geniuses of aerospace?
01:05:34They're now crowding around you, faces lit with undisguised amazement.
01:05:37You hold nothing back and begin explaining.
01:05:39There are no desks or chairs.
01:05:40The three scientists and dozens of researchers, stand quietly, listening.
01:05:44No one dares interrupt.
01:05:45At first, the three scientists barely keep up.
01:05:47The elite young researchers behind them, are completely lost.
01:05:51None of them even has the courage to raise a hand.
01:05:53As your explanation deepens, the formulas grow increasingly complex.
01:05:56Eventually, even the three scientists can't keep up.
01:05:59They all speak the same technical language.
01:06:01So why did it suddenly become incomprehensible?
01:06:03Hold on, I don't understand this part.
01:06:05Dennis raises his hand like a student.
01:06:06You pause and patiently clarify, he finally understands.
01:06:10You barely get anywhere, before Jacob raises his hand.
01:06:12Moments after that, Zach raises his as well.
01:06:15You look at them, genuinely baffled.
01:06:16Is it really that hard to understand?
01:06:18These are simple theories.
01:06:19What is supposed to be a 30 minute explanation?
01:06:22Stretches into two full hours, dragged out by what you clearly consider slow students.
01:06:25By the time you finally stop, your throat is dry.
01:06:28And the three scientists still look stunned.
01:06:30Their hands tremble faintly.
01:06:31In that moment, they finally understand what it feels like.
01:06:34To be the weakest student in class, completely lost.
01:06:36The impact you deliver is devastating.
01:06:38And yet, at the same time, the same thought occurs to all three of them.
01:06:41This kid is extraordinary.
01:06:43No matter what, we have to recruit him into our institute.
