Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Oh, isn't that Iron Man?

"Is this the batplane? It's too cool! It's absolutely amazing!"

Looking at the batplane descending vertically, 2B's eyes were filled with shock.

Because she had awakened emotions and self-awareness, her various behaviors began to resemble those of a real human girl more and more.

Her curiosity was also the same.

"It is quite cool," Lauren smiled, then opened the cockpit and quickly sat inside.

Then he turned his head, glanced at the seat behind him, and smiled at 2B, "Come on, I'll take you for a flight!"

Hearing this, 2B's face bloomed into a smile, looking incredibly happy.

"Okay, Boss!" She nodded heavily, hummed in affirmation, and quickly sat behind Lauren.

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

In just a moment, she had completely learned how to operate the batplane in front of her.

Although 2B's AI brain couldn't compare to the super artificial intelligence - Alice, it was definitely not something humans could match.

Her learning speed was far beyond imagination, and perhaps this was one of the reasons why 2B developed self-awareness.

"Fasten your seatbelts, we're leaving immediately!" Lauren said while pressing the start button on the control panel.

Immediately, a pleasant electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cabin.

"Boss, good evening, I am Artificial Intelligence - Alice, how can I help you?"

All of Lauren's smart devices could now access Artificial Intelligence - Alice.

Not just the batplane in front of him, but also his batmobile, and even his bat suit could call upon Alice at any time.

Therefore, not only could he manually operate these devices, but when necessary, he could also fully hand over control to Alice.

And Alice's operational capability was naturally not something he, as a human, could match.

And since it was a test flight operation, it was natural to have Alice, with her outstanding operational capability, perform it.

Doing this also had another advantage: it could analyze the flight log in real-time and make dynamic adjustments at any time.

This was also very helpful for the later optimization of the fighter jet.

"Immediately begin the first standard test flight operation of the batplane," Lauren immediately issued the command.

"Okay, performing pre-flight check."

"Checking the batplane's power system, check complete, everything normal..."

"Checking the batplane's weapon system, check complete, everything normal..."

"Checking the batplane's radar system, check complete, everything normal..."

"Overall check successfully completed, test flight operation about to begin..."

"The standard test flight operation is divided into three test phases: extreme altitude test, extreme speed test, and combat capability test."

"Immediately begin the extreme altitude test..."

As Alice's voice fell, Lauren and 2B, sitting in the batplane, immediately felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

Because the batplane used an anti-gravity device instead of a conventional engine, it could easily hover.

As for vertical takeoff and landing, that was a piece of cake. Therefore, during the extreme altitude test, sitting in the batplane was like riding a drop tower ride; there was no preliminary movement, it just soared upwards incredibly fast.

"Altitude is continuously increasing, 1000 meters, 2000 meters, 5000 meters, 10000 meters, 15000 meters, 20000 meters, 25000 meters..."

"Warning, warning, ice is forming on the aircraft's surface. Should de-icing mode be activated immediately?"

Just as the batplane reached 25000 meters, the entire fuselage visibly trembled, and Alice's warning sounded.

"Immediately activate de-icing mode. The batplane's designed flight altitude is far more than this. Continue ascending."

Hearing the warning from Alice, Lauren was unconcerned.

You should know that the batplane was built by him using the current World's most advanced fighter jet technology combined with an anti-gravity system.

The maximum ascent altitude he designed was 50000 meters. You should know that this altitude already surpasses any existing fighter jet.

According to official records, the actual highest flight altitude for manned aircraft in the World is around 37000 meters.

And this record was set in 1977. As of now, no one has broken this altitude.

The actual highest flight altitude for the most excellent fighter jets currently is only 27000 meters, while ordinary fighter jets are below 20000 meters.

From this, it can be seen how astonishing it is that the batplane built by Lauren can fly to an altitude of 50000 meters!

Hearing Lauren's command, Alice immediately activated de-icing mode.

With the activation of de-icing mode, the ice that had condensed on the surface of the batplane instantly shattered and melted.

And having solved the high-altitude icing problem, the batplane also recovered stability from the previous trembling.

And then it continued flying towards the higher sky.

In a short while, it broke through 30000 meters, and then all the way up to an altitude of 48000 meters, before being unable to ascend further.

"Boss, the actual maximum flight altitude has been reached, unable to continue ascending for now," Alice's voice sounded in the cabin.

Listening to Alice's voice, Lauren nodded with great satisfaction.

His designed altitude was 50000 meters, and the actual altitude reached 48000 meters, which was far beyond expectations.

"Very good. Now, first descend to 25000 meters, and then proceed with the extreme speed test. The maximum speed I designed is Mach 5. Let's see what the actual speed can reach," Lauren issued the test command again.

Hearing Lauren's command, Alice immediately began the action.

"Understood! Altitude has descended to 25000 meters. Immediately beginning the extreme speed test. Countdown starting, 5...4...3...2.....1!"

"Boom!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

As Alice's countdown ended, Lauren and Miss 2b immediately felt a terrifying force pressing them back into their seats.

Immediately, their bodies were pressed horizontally against the seats as if by a giant boulder, completely unable to move.

And Lauren's facial expression even showed slight collapse and deformation.

From this, it can be seen how terrifying the batplane's initial flight speed was.

The g-force generated by such a flight speed was simply unbearable for ordinary people; they would likely pass out instantly.

It was also fortunate that Lauren had strengthened his body with the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum, otherwise he would not have escaped this fate.

"Warning, warning, a humanoid flying object detected ahead. Its flight speed is Mach 0.8."

"Humanoid flying object? What does it look like?" Hearing Alice's words, Lauren was momentarily stunned.

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

"Oh, isn't that Iron Man!"
