Not only were the on-site scientific researchers and heads of the three armed forces watching the competition.
In a conference room in the Imperial Capital, a hundred kilometers away, a group of Grand Xia's senior officials were also paying close attention to the final outcome of this grand military exercise.

"Goodness, vertical takeoff took less than 50 seconds, isn't that just as good as France's most advanced vector engine?"
