Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168: Chapter 463: Aircraft Cemetery Chapter 1168: Chapter 463: Aircraft Cemetery Without the assistance of the Artificial Intelligence “Dream”, Yan Fei's ability to gather intelligence had significantly declined. He had no idea how the beheading operation launched against the former President of The United States was progressing nor did he pay much attention to its outcome. Failure was the norm, success would be a surprising bonus.

At that moment, Yan Fei was flying across the mainland of The United States. The Drone Avatar was traveling at 2.5 times the speed of sound at an altitude of 25,000 meters, heading southwest toward Santa Fe City. The drone flew silently, and coupled with its radar stealth capabilities, no one noticed that Yan Fei, who had just committed a slaughter on the East Coast, was now shifting his position…

Forty minutes later, the drone crossed the mainland and arrived in the inland city of Santa Fe. During this time, the mini-production workshop had converted all raw materials from the Universal Space into high-powered bombs, enough to produce fifty super bombs each weighing more than ten tons. The total weight of this ammunition exceeded 500 tons. The price Yan Fei paid was the complete depletion of raw materials in the Universal Space, and the drone's Energy Points had decreased from five million to just 500,000.

It was now eleven forty at night, Bermuda Triangle Time–if the drone didn't land in Santa Fe City, twenty minutes later would be the drone's data refresh time. If it landed in Santa Fe City during this period, the data refresh time would follow the local time there and be delayed by three hours.

After several intense battles, the drone's ammo had been greatly depleted. It now carried a mere 9.6 tons of ordnance. Having drained its resources through the long bypass and the consumption of the mini-production workshop, the drone only had a pitiful 500,000 Energy Points left. If Yan Fei were to be encircled by the US Air Force now, he wouldn't be able to eliminate all the forces surrounding him and would be forced to flee.

For Yan Fei, what he needed most now was to restore the combat power of the drone, to once again possess formidable fighting capabilities. Before the drone data refresh, he planned no other operations to avoid falling into unknown dangers. The Drone Avatar hovered quietly among a cloud cluster 25,000 meters above the logistics hub station of Santa Fe City, waiting for the drone data refresh time to arrive.

During this wait, Yan Fei checked the 3D map of The United States in the Auxiliary Brain and began to draft his next plan of action. That's when he spotted a small city called Tucson in the 3D map located southwest of Santa Fe City, the air distance between the two being less than a hundred kilometers.

Yan Fei's attention to Tucson was due to an article he had read. On the outskirts of Tucson was an Air Force base called Davis Monthan, which held a vast area but housed not active service aircraft but instead those retired or mothballed by the US Forces. This large airfield was known as the “Aircraft Cemetery”, housing over 5000 various types of aircraft.

The aircraft in the “Aircraft Cemetery” were not necessarily scrapped and unusable; most had been phased out by the US Forces due to technological advancements. Although these aircraft were not the most advanced active service aircraft of The United States, compared to other countries and regions around the world, their performance was not lacking, and actually far outstripped others–for instance, the dozens of B-52 Bomber Aircraft mothballed there, which were stored although no other country could yet produce them.

The United States would, based on its diplomatic needs, select some of the old stored aircraft from the “Aircraft Cemetery”, perform basic repairs, and then sell them as brand-new. This operation not only allowed The United States to earn high profits but also fulfilled its political agendas. And once these aircraft were sold to other nations, they still became the most advanced in performance in those nations…

When Yan Fei realized he was less than a hundred kilometers away from that “Aircraft Cemetery”, he immediately came up with a new idea. The “Aircraft Cemetery” served as a reserve for combat aircraft–in the event of war, The United States could refurbish these aircraft and send them into the skies once more. Even if Yan Fei destroyed many of the active US combat aircraft, The Americans could quickly launch more fighters from the “Aircraft Cemetery”, swiftly restoring their formidable aerial combat strength.

Yan Fei immediately devised a battle plan, which was to nip it in the bud–destroy the “Aircraft Cemetery” that held the reserve combat aircraft capabilities of the US Forces, depriving them of any reserve aircraft.

Twenty minutes later, all data on the drone would be refreshed, and there remained some unused ordnance. If the drone data refreshed as such, these unspent ordnance capacities would be a sheer waste. To prevent this waste, Yan Fei, under the premise of absolute safety, planned to attack and destroy the mothballed US combat aircraft in the “Aircraft Cemetery”. This would not only perfectly utilize every kilogram of the drone's carrying capacity without causing waste, but it would also weaken a part of The United States' war potential and allow the drone to obtain a large number of Merit Points. This was truly killing three birds with one stone.
