Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 881 - 881: Section 874 - Plan Finalized

"Connect!"

Chen Fei quickly recalled who this guy was.

You could call him an engineer, but less nicely, just a mere cow and horse.

The call request was not just a simple voice chat but a video call.

Once the connection was established, Chen Fei saw Nangong Ruiyang with his messy hair resembling a chicken nest. Behind him were tall pillars and walls, similar to a hanger environment.

"Where are you?"

Nangong Ruiyang, with dark circles under his eyes, no longer resembled the handsome academic achiever but more of a weary corporate slave.

Since it was a video call, both could see each other's background.

"Inside the airship!"

Chen Fei didn't lie; he had a private fleet, impressive enough.

Even the sovereigns couldn't stop him from evolving combat airships, as it was a Special Ability, and even the suppressant couldn't halt it.

"Huh? Airship? What kind of airship? And where did all those birds come from?"

Nangong Ruiyang was bewildered. The environment around Chen Fei didn't seem like a civilian airship and featured many small birds with black feathers.

Originally, there should have been only one; how did it suddenly increase so much?

Three thousand Pure Light Sparrows almost filled the entire bridge cabin. Whether Chen Fei, Miyoshi Xuesen, or even the S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown, all allowed them to fly around, and even land on their bodies, chirping and playing.

Such a person, how could they be bothered by a few sparrows?

"I can't say; you don't have clearance!"

Chen Fei saw the monk furiously signaling to him, shaking his finger.

The plan for Emerald Star was not yet disclosed to the public; even society was unaware of the numerous sovereigns gathering such force in the Midway Island region.

Therefore, it couldn't be casually revealed to unrelated individuals.

"What clearance could a military contractor have? Pfft!" Nangong Ruiyang was convinced that Chen Fei was using a feather as a mandate arrow, but he didn't come to see someone showing off. He got straight to the point and said, "The Crystal Jet plan you wanted is completed!"

He thought to himself, damn, he must have been bewitched to be persuaded by Chen Fei then.

Without adequate Magic Arrays, without the SEG Core Unit, spending so much time and effort on something that could be called a Crystal Jet?

Bah, it's just armchair strategy!

But there's no turning back after firing an arrow. Nangong Ruiyang, in the midst of it, wanted to see how far he could go and ended up crazily drawing out an unalterable plan.

"Can you send it over for a look?"

Chen Fei had completely remembered about this matter; it's been nearly a year. If it wasn't for this call, he might have forgotten.

Having fun here and ignoring other things; aren't combat airships more enjoyable than Crystal Jets?

Actually, the AI "Adam" had halted the simulation on Crystal Jets, as AI creativity is nearly non-existent. Research requires the Wisdom Race.

Nangong Ruiyang swiped a few times on his phone and said, "Already sent over."

The basic data for the Crystal Jet originally came from them, coupled with his own research and improvements, now came the first submission.

Since it wasn't a Northern Weapons Industry Group project, there was no funding; even the wind tunnel was simulated through supercomputers using personal influence. In reality, the plan didn't even have a single screw.

No wonder Nangong Ruiyang considered it armchair strategy; they were both playing air-to-air.

"Received, 'Adam,' start analyzing."

Despite belonging to different industries, Chen Fei wouldn't delve deeply into the plan but handed it over to AI "Adam".

"How long do you need to make it?"

Had it not been for Chen Fei's innovative Special Ability akin to a super factory, Nangong Ruiyang would have considered the idea of designing the Crystal Jet a fool's dream.

Unrealizable things are a waste of time worth studying only when one has nothing else.

Chen Fei glanced at the progress bar and the estimated time shown by AI "Adam," saying, "About an hour!"

Until the "Physical Evolution Database" obtained complete data from "Adam," he couldn't do anything.

Nangong Ruiyang, showing no hesitation with his panda eyes, said, "Send it over as soon as possible; I need to see the final product!"

The uninformed would think he was the client side.

"I'll do my best!"

Chen Fei glanced at the ongoing holographic projection of the meeting.

Over eight hundred attendees, uncertain how many days and nights the meeting would last.

He, a commoner, had no idea that in the United Nations sovereign meeting, only the top twenty sovereigns get to speak, making up eighty percent of the seating.

Below that? Sparse attendance, barely anyone listening, those attending just seeking a place for tea talks or sleep.

"You better hurry!"

Playing the role of a cow and horse, Nangong Ruiyang sullenly ended the video call.

If Chen Fei shelved that plan, he would certainly seek vengeance.

-

"Huh? I can't believe you still have an interest in custom Crystal Jets?"

Miyoshi Xuesen secretly checked Nangong Ruiyang's identity and was astounded that this engineer was a legit professional from the fourth-ranked global combat aircraft manufacturer, Northern Weapons Industry Group.

This isn't a petty joke; it's the real deal!

"Personal hobby! What's wrong with that?"

Chen Fei had a collection of combat aircraft, getting himself a National Treasure Artifact as a collectible, entirely reasonable.

Besides him, many would have similar thoughts.

But only Chen Fei had the opportunity and channels to realize them.

"First, you need to be a Sky Knight; second, the customized Crystal Jet must fit perfectly, or else it's just a slightly stronger combat aircraft."

Miyoshi Xuesen understood that the title National Treasure Artifact wasn't casually given. Not every combat aircraft qualified as a Crystal Jet, nor every pilot suited to be a Sky Knight.

Especially for small sovereignties with limited land radius, one person and their steed could ensure sovereignty peace, which is why it's called a National Treasure Artifact.

King of Single Combat Air Warfare, one knight against a thousand.

"..."

The monk's words made too much sense; Chen Fei was speechless. He avoided striking others' faces and unveiling one's shortcomings, but this pesky monk picked at sensitive topics. Without the semblance of a Sky Knight, he trudged diligently down the academic path.

Those professions relying on talent usually get filtered before reaching adulthood.

Miyoshi Xuesen ignored Chen Fei's glare, insensitively saying, "You should stick with airships, those are promising big toys!"

Even if it wasn't heart-wrenching, after witnessing Chen Fei's combat records, Miyoshi believed he should leverage his strengths, conceal his weaknesses, and maximize battle power through external means.

Why prove brick-splitting skills over two decades when a simple AK could clear the streets? Isn't that dumb!

Ding! ~

Adam: Crown Prince Lin Zio Slan of the Slan Dynasty joined the conference.

A new card added to the gigantic light screen, representing another attendee.

The Slan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star dispatched someone, and it turned out to be the future emperor.

Being a contact within the directory, AI "Adam" marked it important and notified.

Chen Fei almost thought the dog system resurrected.

"'Adam,' change your notification sound to water droplet!"

Beep!

Adam: Modification completed.

Finally, the OCD felt relieved.

While Chen Fei had "Adam" adjust the setting, His Royal Highness started speaking ahead of schedule.

"Tsk tsk tsk! We're eyeing Emerald Star and they're watching our Blue Star!"

Chen Fei wasn't interested in Lin Zio Slan's speech, but Miyoshi Xuesen was listening intently.

As the representative of the Slan Dynasty from Cangqiong Star, Lin Zio Slan passionately spoke, summing it up to one thing: sending troops to aid Blue Star against extraterrestrial race "Sagali."

Cangqiong Star civilization had suffered from parasitic species for long, only to be freed when the space rift outside the atmosphere was transformed by "Halo" into a passage connecting to Blue Star.

Now "Sagali" found a way to invade Blue Star again, despite not wanting to shift the crisis, but empathizing and their alliance compelled the Slan Dynasty to lend a hand.

Helping is one thing; post-war interest distribution is another.

How did the United Nations Permanent Five come to be?

Only one answer!

Those who survived the death tolls of Blue Star's Second World War became leaders, not by any other reason.

Should Blue Star sovereigns succeed in repelling parasitic species and occupy Emerald Star, would Cangqiong Star benevolently leave empty-handed?

Thus, post-speech, Blue Star civilized sovereigns kept rejecting, bluntly opposing, even exposing Slan Dynasty's true intentions.

Nobody in this world is genuinely foolish; isn't solo enjoyment better?

If possible, Blue Star's top sovereignty would occupy Emerald Star single-handedly, turning efforts into further conflict post Third War, fighting United Nations victoriously before.

After unanimous rejection, Lin Zio Slan exited the online conference, achieving his brief show beautifully.

The Slan Dynasty declared their intentions openly.

Blue Star's sovereigns weren't fools, but plenty thought themselves clever.

Communications of the Crown Prince from Cangqiong Star became busy, with calls from Blue Star's small sovereignties, including those in active combat against Slan Dynasty.

What's integrity? Can it be eaten?

Sovereigns would do anything without shame.

Violence and love coexist; interests making such actions trivial.

Biting into blood-soaked bread while fiercely grasping a flaming Gatling gun, furiously expressing sincere friendship.

"Good brothers! Loyal!"
