Chapter 21 U, isn’t this Iron Man? (Ch 21)

“Is this the Batfighter? So cool!”

Looking at the bat fighter landing vertically, Miss 2b’s eyes were full of shock.

Because she has awakened her emotions and self-awareness, her behavior is beginning to become more and more like that of a real human girl.

The same is true for curiosity.

“It’s really cool.” Lauren smiled, then opened the cockpit and quickly sat in.

Then he turned his head and glanced at the seat behind him, then smiled at 2b, “Come up, I’ll take you flying with me!”

Hearing this, Miss 2b smiled brightly and looked extremely happy.

“Okay, boss!” She nodded heavily, hummed, and quickly sat behind Lauren.

Then she scanned everything in the cabin like a curious baby.

In just a moment, she completely learned how to control the bat fighter in front of her.

Although 2b’s brain cannot be compared with the super artificial intelligence-Alice, it is definitely not comparable to humans.

Her learning speed is far beyond imagination, and this may be one of the reasons why Miss 2b has developed self-awareness.

“Fasten your seat belts, let’s go now!” Loren said as he pressed the start button on the console.

Then, a pleasant electronic synthesized sound sounded in the cabin.

“Boss, good evening, I am the artificial intelligence Alice, how can I help you?”

All of Lauren’s smart devices can now access artificial intelligence – Alice.

Not only the Batplane in front of him, but also his Batmobile and even his Batsuit can be called upon by Alice at any time.

So he can not only operate these devices manually, but also let Alice take over the operation when necessary.

Alice’s operational ability is naturally not comparable to that of a human like him.

And since it was a test flight, it would naturally be carried out by Alice, who had the most outstanding operating ability.

Another benefit of doing this is that it can analyze flight logs in real time and make dynamic adjustments at any time.

This is also very helpful for the later optimization of fighter jets.

“Immediately start the first routine test flight of the Batfighter.” Loren gave the order immediately.

“Okay, we are doing the pre-flight inspection.”

“Inspecting the Batfighter’s power system. Inspection completed. Everything is normal…”

“Inspecting the Batfighter’s weapon system. Inspection completed. Everything is normal…”

“Inspecting the radar system of the Batfighter, inspection completed, everything is normal…”

“The overall inspection has been successfully completed and the test flight operation is about to begin…”

“The conventional test flight operation is divided into three test phases, namely, the extreme altitude test, the extreme speed test, and the combat power test.”

“Begin extreme altitude testing immediately…”

As soon as Alice finished her words, Lauren and Miss 2b who were sitting in the Batfighter immediately felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

Because the Batfighter does not use a conventional engine, but an anti-gravity device, it can hover easily.

As for vertical takeoff and landing, it is a piece of cake. Therefore, when doing the extreme height test, sitting in the Batfighter is like sitting on a bungee jumping machine. There is no forward sway at all, and it soars directly up at an incredible speed.

“The altitude is continuously rising, 1000 meters, 2000 meters, 5000 meters, 10000 meters, 15000 meters, 20000 meters, 25000 meters…”

“Warning, warning, ice is forming on the aircraft surface. Do you want to activate the de-icing mode immediately?”

Just as the Batfighter reached 25,000 meters, the entire fuselage began to vibrate noticeably, and Alice’s warning sounded.

“Activate de-icing mode immediately. The Batfighter is set to fly at a much higher altitude than this. Keep climbing.”

Lauren didn’t take Alice’s warning seriously.

You should know that the Batfighter was built by him using the world’s most advanced fighter technology combined with an anti-gravity system.

The maximum climbing altitude he designed was 50,000 meters. You should know that this altitude has surpassed any existing fighter jet.

According to official records, the current actual maximum flight altitude of manned aircraft in the world is about 37,000 meters.

This record was set in 1977, and no one has broken this height so far.

Currently, the actual maximum flight altitude of the most advanced fighter jets is only 27,000 meters, and ordinary fighter jets are even below 20,000 meters.

From this we can see how amazing it is that the bat fighter built by Loren can fly to an altitude of 50,000 meters!

Upon hearing Lauren’s order, Alice immediately turned on the de-icing mode.

As the de-icing mode was turned on, the ice that had originally condensed on the surface of the Batfighter instantly shattered and melted.

The Batfighter, which had solved the problem of freezing at high altitudes, also recovered from the shock just now.

Then continue to fly towards the higher sky.

In a short while, it broke through 30,000 meters, and then broke through to 48,000 meters, and could no longer rise.

“Boss, we have reached the actual maximum flight altitude limit and cannot continue to rise for the time being.” Alice’s voice sounded in the cabin.

Listening to Alice’s voice, Lauren nodded with satisfaction.

Its design altitude was 50,000 meters, but the actual altitude reached 48,000 meters, which far exceeded expectations.

“Very good. Now let’s lower the altitude to 25,000 meters and then conduct a maximum speed test. The maximum speed I designed is Mach 5. Let’s see what we can actually reach.” Loren gave the test order again.

Upon hearing Lauren’s order, Alice immediately took action.

“Understood! The altitude has dropped to 25,000 meters. Start the extreme speed test immediately. The countdown begins. 5…4…3…2…1!”

“boom!!”

“call out!!!”

As Alice’s countdown ended, Lauren and Miss 2b immediately felt a terrifying push on their backs.

Immediately, the two men’s bodies were pressed horizontally on the seats as if by a huge rock, unable to move at all.

And Lauren’s facial expression showed some collapse and deformation.

From this we can see how terrifying the initial flying speed of this bat fighter is.

The overload caused by such a flying speed is simply unbearable for ordinary people, and they would probably faint in an instant.

It was also thanks to Lauren that he strengthened his body with the perfect version of the super soldier serum, otherwise he would not have escaped the same fate.

“Warning, warning, a humanoid flying object has been spotted ahead, and its speed is 0.8 Mach.”

“Humanoid flying object? What does it look like?” Lauren was stunned after hearing Alice’s words.

Just as he finished speaking, a golden-red humanoid armor suddenly appeared on the screen in front of him.

“Hey, isn’t this Iron Man!”
