Why it works
The price question gains scale through a 27-year development figure at 0:12 and factory and aircraft footage through 1:21. A top-down blue cutaway adds component labels in stages at 3:26–3:58, aligning with the strongest replay peak in the measured excerpt at 3:34–3:49. The supplied six minutes end on a new mechanism, so the final answer and ending cannot be assessed.
