Split Sky Rider

Chapter 880 - Eighteen Falls

Bang! ~

The earth trembled, and metal fragments flew all over the sky.

In the tower of 310 Airport, everyone's eyes were throbbing.

Chen Fei yawned out of boredom. It wasn't him who fell, and he didn't need to use his brain. He was almost bored to death after just ten or so evolutions.

From eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, the damn crystal jet crashed eighteen times. The grass next to the main take-off and landing runway, which had been maintained for nearly a hundred years, was completely destroyed. There were pits and pits everywhere, and even the bodies of innocent small animals could be seen. It was really inhuman!

Unable to wait for the last piece of debris to fall to the ground, basketball-sized mechanical spiders swarmed out like a tide, digging three feet into the ground to collect all the fragments.

With a long history of war-ready airports, it is inevitable that there will be many fighter debris and parts left near the main take-off and landing runway, especially fasteners of various specifications. The mechanical spiders cleaning the scene collected them all, and the accumulation of more than ten tons over a hundred years was as much as.

Compared with the slight loss when the crystal energy jet crashed, the metal material finally had a slight surplus, which was nothing more than the loss of related functional modules. A batch of them was prepared before, and they were used. If it crashed a hundred or a thousand times, there would always be some.

"This time, what's wrong this time!"

"Is it a structural problem again?"

"No, it's the conflict of aerodynamic control surfaces, turbulence, and fluid design defects. The overload caused by the maneuver just now exceeded the threshold."

"Nonsense, it should be the lack of vector coordination!"

"..."

The young engineers who gathered together for their interests and hobbies to work on the crystal energy jet were all in a highly excited state, and even forgot to eat lunch. They stared at the display screen, checked the flight data and tracking data, and tried to further optimize the design plan. They argued with each other and even rolled up their sleeves, almost fighting on the spot.

Birds of a feather flock together. Both sides are very bold. One side is willing to crash, and the other side is willing to risk what they have learned in their life. After crashing a lot, even if they are still making continuous improvements, they are becoming more and more perfect in small details.

A completely perfect crystal jet does not exist. The way to design is to make choices, play to strengths and avoid weaknesses, or cleverly use weaknesses to turn decay into magic. It not only requires sophisticated design ideas, but also requires actual verification by test flights.

Despite the simulation of supercomputers and verification with large wind tunnels, it is ultimately no match for real flight. Various extreme maneuvers are performed and a large amount of data is collected simultaneously, which not only releases the actual performance of the design as much as possible, but also prepares for the compilation of air combat skills.

The power of the air knight is not entirely due to the crystal jet, but also lies in the tactical suppression. The extent to which the air combat skills can be exerted is the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

What is learned from books is always shallow, and you must practice it to know it.

If you want the design to mature, you can only rely on crashing, either in test flights or in actual combat.

After a day of crashing eighteen times, the crystal jet plan perfected by Nangong Ruiyang and others has been completely transformed.

"Okay, that's all for today, stop!"

Chen Fei looked at the time and stopped the test flight.

The crystal jet, which was still whizzing through the low-altitude field, turned nimbly in a small radius, took the opportunity to slow down, and slowly landed vertically beside the giant flying ship. This time it finally landed safely.

The magic array is the feature of the crystal jet. The vertical take-off and landing function that can adapt to most take-off and landing environments is not a new thing, and is usually a standard design.

"Don't continue flying? It's still early! Eh? The sun is going down, hey, try the night flight again!"

Nangong Ruiyang frowned and was about to protest, but finally noticed that a sunset was slowly falling on the horizon.

Before he knew it, a whole day had passed. Time passed so quickly.

"It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's eat first!"

Chen Fei gestured to his flying ship, and the hatch of the ship opened wide. Nangong Ruiyang, Shen Fei and others noticed that the lights were on inside the ship, and there were even people walking around.

"Did you really make this flying ship yourself?"

Shen Fei held the little bird in his hand, still not quite believing that this huge thing came from Chen Fei's supernatural power.

If the other party enters the flying ship manufacturing industry, I'm afraid that all manufacturers in the world will be beaten. Apart from other things, the manufacturing cost alone is enough to make all peers vomit blood and face death.

"Of course it was pieced together bit by bit, but the larger the size, the less technical content."

Chen Fei led the way in front and looked back at the crystal energy jet that had completed the landing action.

The crystal energy jet is smaller than the flying ship, but the technical content and design requirements are higher.

In fact, the flying ship is not that technically difficult, because it does not need to make complex maneuvers. The shape only needs to conform to the most basic aerodynamics. The rest is the coordination of the magic array, energy core and propulsion. The internal flight control system is not even much more complicated than the "Big Mouth Monster" turboprop.

During the day, lunch is provided by the airport, and dinner is taken over by Chen Fei. He no longer bothers the canteen of 310 Airport. After all, their food procurement is fixed. Suddenly adding so many people will inevitably be a bit flustered.

There are hundreds of more passengers inside the giant flying ship, with all kinds of facilities. The canteen is much larger than 310 Airport. It is not a big deal to add dozens of pairs of chopsticks temporarily.

Looking around, it looked like some kind of private spaceship. Nangong Ruiyang didn't have time to sigh, but he smelled the aroma of food filling the air in the cafeteria. He finally realized that his last meal was ten hours ago, and his belly was already hungry. , dizziness and hypoglycemia reaction immediately came like a tide.

The staff in the cafeteria yelled at the newcomers: "Get food plates here, take as much as you want, don't waste anything."

The engineers of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group immediately took three steps at a time and queued up to receive the dinner plates to satisfy their five internal organs.

After receiving the plate and dinner together, Shen Fei sat down opposite Chen Fei, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "There are so many people?"

Others sat down not far away in unison, and even Nangong Ruiyang did not come to join in the fun, leaving Shen Fei and Chen Fei some space alone.

"This is actually a refuge spaceship, a modern version of 'Noah's Ark'. These people have been carefully selected."

Chen Fei did not start first, but took out a large basin from the "Space Brand", threw in a few large pieces of raw meat, and placed it next to the dining table.

"Ouch!~"

The shadow wolf hiding in the shadow immediately jumped out, buried its head in the basin, and started feasting.

Although he is a wolf and a monster at the same time, in Chen Fei's eyes, he is just a guard dog who sells himself to pay off his debts.

"Shelter? Ark? What do you mean?"

An airship with a total length of 600 meters is unusual, but Shen Fei still doesn't understand its meaning.

As an airship for private use, it is a bit too big.

"One of the preparations for the 'end of the world' is that there will be about a thousand people. Now only half of them are there. They are all high-quality human beings in the reproductive period. They may become the 'fire' that continues the human race. The situation may not be the same. That’s a step, but it’s not wrong to prepare early.”

Now Chen Fei has also accepted the so-called "Ark" plan. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. Maybe he can take his family with him and run away, and it happens that his family also has an airship.

1,341 people is not the upper limit of the capacity of a giant spaceship, and with his special skills, the size of the ship can be further expanded. As long as there is enough time and resources, it will become a true interstellar voyage ark sooner or later, even if there is no similar type that can be modified. The earth planet can also be self-sufficient for a long time.

This batch of "Noahs" are not all dignitaries and their descendants, because they need high-quality human beings in the strict sense. The so-called big shots and their families are just priority choices, but they still need to meet the conditions.

If it is just carrying a group of potbellied and bossy old gangsters, it may be difficult to convince the public, and Chen Fei, who controls the entire spaceship, may not accept it.

"'The end of the world'? Hasn't the future already changed?"

Shen Fei held the chopsticks and was slightly startled. She and Chen Fei were once the first people to learn about the "prophecy" from Louis Langdon, the president of Louis Industries, but now the important event nodes have changed.

The "Realm Gate" of the Firmament Star has not been lost, and Longinus has not fallen into the hands of the parasitic species. The future has changed, and the end of the Blue Star civilization may not come as "prophesized".

Secretary Shen didn’t even know that Blue Star Civilization had even extended its greedy claws to the parasitic life planet, and fought a beautiful defensive counterattack, burning the flames of war into the opponent’s territory.

Chen Fei sighed and said: "It's far from time to relax completely. The future trend has changed, but the future results may not be truly reversed. After all, the entire parasitic species is still there, as long as it is not completely eliminated. We, the hidden dangers still exist.”

When he returned to his homeland this time, in addition to cooperating with Nangong Ruiyang's small hobby team to test the crystal energy jet, he also wanted to meet his girlfriend and leave some backup at the same time.

The idea of ​​"backhand" comes from the "Ark" plan of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee.

"When you encounter danger, don't rush in. Be careful."

Shen Fei grabbed Chen Fei's hand. She saw what the latter would do when his mind got hot. He saw it on his first day on the job.

As a girlfriend who is obsessed with me, it is really hard to let him fly around outside without worry.

Chen Fei patted his girlfriend's hand naturally and said, "Don't worry! Now I'm in charge of the rear. There are a lot of cannon fodder available. It's no longer my turn to rush to the front."

"Chirp!"

The little bird of pure light jumped back and forth next to their dinner plates, taking the opportunity to steal some food.

He lowered his head and pecked his leg ring, and a full bottle of red wine rolled out and hit the hands of Chen Fei and Shen Fei.

Eh……

Light the candles and raise a glass.

A toast to the birds.

Two glasses of toast to my girlfriend.

Three toasts to myself.

The ceremony is over!
