"Rookie has been gone for quite a while, hasn't he?"
It finally dawned on Hanna Gagar that Chen Fei hadn't returned after leaving the box and seed to have been gone for a long ti.
Although Chen Fei was not at fault, she could roughly guess what he was up to.
Did picking up a bargain really take that long?
"Eh? It seems so, why hasn't he co back yet!"
Shen Fei also realized this.
The "Sacrifice" skill should be instantaneous, right?
"Could he have been caught?"
Boss Hanna considered a possibility, was he caught red-handed?!
If you always walk by the river, you can't expect not to wet your shoes; this possibility certainly existed.
"Lahar, check Rookie's position."
Hanna Gagar delegated the task to her assistant, perhaps to go and fetch soone soon.
Brazenly targeting soone else's constructed combat aircraft, it was inevitable for people to take notice, possibly leading to disputes, argunts, and even casualties...
Next ti I need to remind him, being in a hurry won't help to eat hot tofu, and you can't just blindly pull at one sheep's wool.
"Okay!"
Assistant Lahar took out his phone, launched the corporate service specially customized by Jiu Defense Company, and located the employee's position.
Chen Fei's phone, a gift from Boss Hanna, had superior protective features, could connect to satellite networks, and naturally ca with built-in managent functions.
A mont later, he found Chen Fei's location. Comparing it to the electronic map, he said confusedly, "Why is he at the hangar? It seems to be Cangqiong Star's 'Gale Team'."
Without surprise, Hanna Gagar said, "He must have been caught."
Putting oneself in their shoes, if soone else were eyeing the 'Genuine Fragrance' squadron's combat aircraft, who else would you catch?
So he was probably detained in their hangar, waiting for Jiu Defense to send soone to negotiate.
Exactly as expected...
"I'll make a quick call and ask."
Assistant Lahar wasn't in a rush. After all, secretly "Sacrificing" wasn't as severe as arson or murder; there was still room for negotiation.
Fetching soone was commonplace in the military contracting business.
In this line of work, there weren't many well-behaved babies. There were countless guys like Chen Fei who took advantage of every situation, and it was not surprising when unexpected situations arose.
Like Major Chekhov, the squad leader of the 'Genuine Fragrance' combat flight squadron, every ti he ca ho, he stirred up trouble. It used to be Apocalypse Defense picking him up; now it was Jiu Defense doing it, regardless of the employer, he always needed rescuing.
Drunk and disorderly, spreading charm, and brawling, Big Bear's three-hit combo never changed. Occasionally, he would add obstructing official duties, then get beaten half to death by the police, and end up drunk in a cage waiting for soone to bail him out.
If not for Chekhov's inherited aerial combat skills, he'd have been kissing the active-duty air force.
"Who caught him?"
Teacher Shen Fei was surprised to hear Hanna Gagar and the assistant's conversation, realizing that Chen Fei was in trouble.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be one of the parties involved in the recent conflict, 'Gale Team'!"
Hanna Gagar thought for a mont. "Sky Falcon" wreckage landing spot was accidentally suspended, Emmm... Caught red-handed!
ssing around right under soone's nose, can you not be more cautious?
"Connected!"
In front of the two, Assistant Lahar dialed Chen Fei's phone.
"Assistant Lahar, is there sothing you need?"
Chen Fei's voice ca through.
"I'm fine, just wondering if you're alright?"
Assistant Lahar breathed a sigh of relief. At least the person who answered was Chen Fei, indicating his movent wasn't restricted and things hadn't escalated to the worst possible scenario.
The two asked each other if there was a problem, but the anings were entirely different.
"I'm fine, really good actually. I just made so new friends and am currently learning about Cangqiong Star's constructed aircraft and alchemy, very fascinating, a completely different technology system compared to ours,"
Chen Fei's voice sounded very excited, apparently encountering sothing of great interest.
He not only ca into contact with Cangqiong Star's constructed combat aircraft "Sky Falcon" but also received an unrestricted introduction, much better than figuring things out by himself.
The Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" was only familiar with industrial machinery; it knew very little about the magic array and was limited to Chen Fei's brief descriptions. As for the principles, it was clueless; it could only follow chanically, which might not always be the best solution, making it difficult to leverage AI's strongest attribute, optimization computation.
Getting a binary dolt to understand magic and alchemy was indeed asking too much of the AI.
"You weren't caught by anyone?"
The assistant seed sowhat puzzled by the Cangqiong Star People's thinking. Even though Chen Fei was eyeing the secrets of "Sky Falcon," the other party seed completely oblivious and handed it over with a bow, as though they were an open book.
"Caught? How could he be caught? Lahar, are you sure everything is fine over there?"
This only made Chen Fei worried; what was this nonsensical talk?
He had been invited to enter the hangar of the "Gale Team," not captured by the other party.
Moreover, the strongest fighter in the "Gale Team" was only a Fourth Rank War Professional, nowhere near a match for Chen Fei, a B-level supernatural power user. Where did this term "caught" even co from?
"No worries, no worries, it seems I guessed wrong. As long as everything is going well for you."
Since Chen Fei hadn't fallen into an unfavorable situation and seed to be enjoying himself, Lahar didn't continue to dwell on that issue and smoothly wrapped up the conversation.
It was Boss Hana who had guessed wrong, yet the bald assistant took the bla himself.
"Looks like he's fine!"
Hearing the assistant's conversation with Chen Fei, Hanna Gagar apologetically raised her glass.
The boss hands out the salaries, taking the bla is part of the job for the subordinates.
"I think nothing could really stump him."
In Teacher Shen Fei's eyes, Chen Fei had always been resourceful, like the ti he had extended the internet from Aircrew Base 911 all the way to Patan Mountain Area Elentary School. Over dozens of kiloters of mountainous roads, he hadn't spent a single Star Yuan to connect the school to the outside world's network signal, which even covered a vast area.
Ding!
Shen Fei's phone chid, seemingly receiving a ssage.
She opened it to see it was an email from Chen Fei with several photos attached. He was standing in a large hangar, with a "Sky Falcon" being disassembled behind him, and several workbenches pieced together in front of him, laden with various alchemical construct components.
He looked utterly pleased, evidently having achieved what he desired.
Teacher Shen helplessly comnted, "He really knows how to show off!"
She now only worried that Chen Xiao'er was pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, perhaps even running off with the whole sheep.
Wait a second, that's not right, there's more to it than that.
Suddenly, Secretary Shen's expression changed as if she had realized sothing.
Everyone here is a university graduate with on-point intelligence; foreseeing potential steps ahead is basic quality.
Old Shen is in trouble!
Next to Chen Fei was an AI that excelled in aircraft design, capable of presenting a highly complete design plan in a short ti.
If the design concepts of "Sky Falcon" were integrated into "Canglong" advanced fighter jets, that would an… more money!
No, it wasn't just about the money.
An AI combined with a special ability, this pair was simply toxic!
Yet the Northern Weapons Industry Group didn't even have the courage to refuse and had to grit their teeth and make the best of a bad job.
Noticing the change in Shen Fei's expression, Hanna Gagar's gaze turned to the smartphone screen, opened her mouth, and then grumbled, "That guy, he succeeded again."
"I've got to go, Hanna, let's catch up another ti!"
Shen Fei was no longer in the mood to leisurely watch the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" aerial combat in the private box.
She needed to rush back to the camp of Northern Weapons Industry and report the situation to the managent if the eting hadn't ended yet, reminding them to quickly decide on the terms of the deal with Chen Fei, lest more issues arise from delay.
The technological evolution of "Canglong" advanced fighter jets was launching once again. If it were updated beyond recognition, even if a deal were struck, the specialists in the "Canglong" project team might not be able to cover the latest designs, much like how the P-51 Mustang evolved into the F-35, leaving others no chance to cope.
"So… see you later!"
Seeing Shen Fei's anxious manner, Hanna Gager did not hold her back.
She hurried back to the camp, where the afternoon eting had already ended. Shen Fei found her father, Shen Songling, in the Vice President's office.
"Vice President Shen, there's trouble…"
"Eh?"
-
In the "Gale Team" hangar, Chen Fei was holding various parts of "Sky Falcon," and Minante tirelessly explained the design concepts and functions of the assembly.
The Cangqiong Star People didn't care about Chen Fei's supposed "Sacrifice" skill, because the construct design sches based on alchemy weren't so easy to copy.
In fact, it was indeed the case. Chen Fei's tal Elental Psychic Power couldn't completely "Sacrifice" this constructed combat aircraft originating from Cangqiong Star, because it wasn't entirely made of tal. It extensively used various biological materials like wood, animal skins, tendons, blood, and bones, various natural gel substances, and reprocessed animal and plant juices, totaling nearly a thousand different materials combined.
This was the fourth-generation "Sky Falcon" sche after nurous optimizations.
Although it was called "Sacrifice", it was really the "tal Devouring" skill. Facing a "Sky Falcon" where tal materials made up only about twenty percent, it had very limited room to maneuver, and most of the tal materials were structural components with little value, not even enough to gather Energy Points.
Many of the materials used to apply Magic Arrays on "Sky Falcon" were traditional bio-alchemy products, not the luxurious and durable mithril silk (titanium silk), making it unlikely to acquire Magic Arrays from them.
Chen Fei's main gain was manually surveying "Sky Falcon," but learning the advanced bionics aerodynamic forms that were utterly different from those of Blue Star's aircraft had little chance of mutual benefit.
Besides, he only got two new Second Rank Magic Arrays, "Silent Domain" and "Constant Temperature," which needed to be linked with other Magic Arrays to bring out their real effects.
