Chapter 880 - Eighteen Falls
Boom! ~
The earth shook and metal fragments flew everywhere.
Inside the control 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 just repeated it a dozen times, and he was almost bored to death.
From eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, that 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. It was full of potholes and looked terrible. Even the corpses of innocent small animals could be seen. It was really inhumane!
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.
As a war-ready airport with a long history, it is inevitable that there are many fighter plane fragments and parts left near the main take-off and landing runway, especially fasteners of various specifications. The mechanical spider cleaning the scene collected them all, and the accumulation over a hundred years amounted to more than ten tons.
Compared with the slight loss when the Crystal Energy Jet crashed, there was a slight surplus of metal materials in the end. It was nothing more than the loss of related functional modules. A batch of them had been prepared before, so just use them. Even if it fell a hundred or a thousand times, there would always be some.
"This time, this time something is wrong again!"
“Is it a structural problem again?”
"No, it's a conflict of aerodynamic control surfaces. There's turbulence. It's a fluid design flaw. The overload caused by the maneuver just now exceeded the threshold."
"Nonsense, it must be that the vectors are not coordinated enough!"
"..."
The young engineers who came together to work on the Crystal Energy Jet because of their interest and hobby were all in a highly excited state. They 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. They argued with each other until their faces turned red and their sleeves were rolled up, and they almost fought on the spot.
Birds of a feather flock together. Both sides are extremely bold. One side is willing to make mistakes, and the other side is also willing to risk everything they have learned in their lives. They have made many mistakes, and even though they are still making continuous improvements, they are becoming more and more perfect in the small details.
A completely perfect crystal-energy jet does not exist. The key to design is to make choices, to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses, or to cleverly utilize weaknesses to turn decay into magic. This requires not only sophisticated design ideas, but also actual verification through test flights.
Despite supercomputer simulations and large wind tunnel verification, it is ultimately no match for real flight. Various extreme maneuvers are performed and large amounts of data are collected simultaneously, not only to maximize the actual performance of the design, but also to prepare for the compilation of air combat skills.
The strength of the Sky Knight is not entirely due to the crystal energy jet, but rather lies in the tactical suppression. The extent to which the aerial combat skills can be used is the key to determining the outcome of the battle.
The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.
If you want a design plan to mature, the only way is to rely on it crashing, either during a test flight or in actual combat.
After falling eighteen times in one day, the crystal energy 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 energy jet, which was still whizzing through the field at low altitude, made a deft turn in a small radius, taking the opportunity to slow down, and slowly landed vertically next to the giant flying ship. This time it finally landed safely.
The magic array is the characteristic of the crystal energy jet. The vertical take-off and landing function that can adapt to most take-off and landing environments is nothing new and is usually a standard design.
"Not going to fly anymore? It's still early! Eh? The sun is about to set. Hey, why don't we try the night flight again!"
Nangong Ruiyang frowned and was about to protest when he finally noticed that the setting sun was slowly setting on the horizon.
Before I knew it, a whole day had passed. Time flies so fast.
"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 ship was brightly lit and there were even people walking around.
"Did you really make this flying ship yourself?"
Shen Fei held the little bird in her arms, still unable to believe that this huge ship was created by Chen Fei's supernatural power.
If the other party enters the aircraft manufacturing industry, I am afraid that all manufacturers in the world will be beaten badly. Not to mention other things, the manufacturing cost alone is enough to make all peers bleed and their lives are in danger.
“Of course it’s pieced together bit by bit, but the bigger the body the less technical it is.”
Chen Fei led the way in front and looked back at the crystal energy jet that had completed the landing.
The size of the crystal energy jet is smaller than that of a flying ship, but its technical content and design requirements are higher.
In fact, the technical difficulty of building a flying ship is not that great, because it does not need to perform complex maneuvers. The appearance only needs to conform to the most basic aerodynamics. The rest is the coordination of spell arrays, energy cores and propulsion. The internal flight control system is not even much more complicated than the "Big Mouth" turboprop aircraft.
During the day, lunch was provided by the airport, while dinner was taken over by Chen Fei, who no longer had to bother the 310 airport canteen. After all, their food purchases were fixed, and with so many people suddenly added, it was inevitable that they would be a little flustered.
There were hundreds of more passengers inside the giant aircraft, and all kinds of facilities were available. The canteen was much larger than that of the 310 airport, so adding dozens of pairs of chopsticks temporarily was not a problem at all.
Looking around, it didn't look like a private aircraft at all. Before Nangong Ruiyang could sigh, he smelled the aroma of food in the cafeteria air. He finally realized that his last meal was ten hours ago. He was already rumbling with hunger, and the dizziness and hypoglycemia reaction immediately came like a tide.
The cafeteria staff shouted to the newcomers: "Get your plates here, take as much as you can eat, don't waste anything."
The engineers from the Northern Ordnance Industry Group immediately rushed to line up to get their meals and satisfy their appetites.
After receiving the plates and dinner, Shen Fei sat opposite Chen Fei, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "There are so many people?"
The others spontaneously sat down not far away. Even Nangong Ruiyang did not come to join in the fun, leaving Shen Fei and Chen Fei some space to be alone.
"This is actually a refugee ship, a modern version of 'Noah's Ark'. These people have been carefully selected."
Chen Fei did not start eating first. Instead, he took out a large basin from the "Space Imprint", threw in several large pieces of raw meat, and placed it next to the dining table.
"Ouch!~"
The shadow wolf hiding in the shadows immediately jumped out, buried its head in the basin, and began to eat with relish.
Even though it is a wolf and a monster, in Chen Fei's eyes, it is just a guard dog that sells itself to pay off debts.
"Refuge? Ark? What does that mean?"
The 600-meter-long flying ship was unusual, but Shen Fei still didn't understand its meaning.
It is a bit too big for private use.
"One of the preparations for the 'end of the world' is that there will be about a thousand people. Now only half of them have arrived. They are all high-quality humans of reproductive age. They may become the 'spark' that continues the human race. The situation may not reach that point, but it's right to prepare early."
Now Chen Fei has also accepted the so-called "Ark" plan. He is prepared for the worst. Maybe he can take his family with him and run away. It just so happens that his family also has a flying ship.
1341 people is not the upper limit of the carrying capacity of a giant flying ship, and with his special abilities, the size of the ship can be further expanded. As long as there is enough time and resources, it will sooner or later become a true interstellar voyage ark. Even if it cannot find an Earth-like planet that can be transformed, it will be able to be self-sufficient for a long time.
This batch of "Noahs" are not all dignitaries and their descendants, because they need high-quality humans in the strict sense. The so-called big figures and their families are just preferred choices, but they still need to meet the requirements.
If it only carries a bunch of fat, bossy old guys, it may be difficult to convince the others, and Chen Fei, who controls the entire airship, may not accept it.
"'End of the World'? Hasn't the future already changed?"
Shen Fei was slightly startled holding the chopsticks. She and Chen Fei were 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 "gate" of the Sky Star has never 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 the "prophecy" says.
Secretary Shen didn't even know that the Blue Star civilization had actually extended its greedy claws toward the parasitic life planet, fought a beautiful defensive counterattack, and brought the war to the opponent's territory.
Chen Fei sighed and said, "It's far from the time to completely relax. The future trend has changed, but the outcome may not be reversed. After all, the entire population of parasitic species is still there. As long as they are not completely eliminated, the hidden dangers will still exist."
This time when he returned to his homeland, in addition to cooperating with Nangong Ruiyang's small hobby team to test-fly the crystal energy jet, he also wanted to see his girlfriend and keep some backup plans.
The idea of "backup" comes from the "Ark" plan of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee.
"When you encounter danger, don't rush in. Be more careful."
Shen Fei grabbed Chen Fei's hand. She didn't know what the latter would do when he got angry. She saw it on her first day at work.
As a girlfriend who is obsessed with him, it is really hard for me to let him go around like that.
Chen Fei patted his girlfriend's hand naturally and said, "Don't worry! I am in charge of the rear now. There are a lot of cannon fodder available. It is not my turn to rush to the front."
"Chirp!"
The little bird jumped back and forth beside the two people's plates, taking the opportunity to steal some food.
He lowered his head and pecked at 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 your glasses.
A toast to the sparrows.
Two cups for my girlfriend.
Three cups to myself.
The ceremony is over!
