Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 248: Number Game Chapter 527: Chapter 248: Number Game Because for a long time drones had no combat missions, and Yan Fei wanted to obtain more advanced technology, a large number of energy points were consumed by the technology extrapolation system every day to avoid wasting them during data refresh. For example, tonight, under Yan Fei's supervision, the technology extrapolation system was wildly consuming energy points, without ever considering the possibility of an accident. Only when Yan Fei stopped the system did he realize that a large number of energy points had been unconsciously depleted.

After the upgrade, the drone's total energy points reached 20 million, which seemed to be 20 times more than before. But because the size of the drone had increased, the energy points consumed by various specific applications had also increased significantly, making the scarcity of energy points more severe instead of alleviated.

If the drone flew at full speed for six hours, it would use up 10 million energy points, leaving another 10 million for other purposes. At any other time, Yan Fei would have allocated the usage of energy points properly, always reserving a portion for the drone's combat use no matter what.

However, due to the long period of peace and the imminent threat to Misty Island, Yan Fei became somewhat eager for quick success and bet everything on the technology extrapolation system. As a result, the excessive consumption of energy points brought the drone to an extremely dangerous level, unable to support cross-state combat and return.

Yan Fei had always been concerned about Yang Qi's safety and thinking about how to rescue him, so he didn't notice the anomaly in energy points while flying. But after two hours of high-speed flight, when he calmed down, he realized that the drone's energy points had dropped below two million.

According to the data previously calculated by Yan Fei, these two million energy points would only allow the drone to fly at full speed for about 3600 kilometers. Though this distance would ensure Yan Fei's arrival at Yang Qi's last known coordinates, it would not be enough to leave the North American continent after the rescue.

Yan Fei had been focusing on searching for information about Yang Qi on the internet; by the time he noticed this situation, there weren't many energy points left. And it would be quite a while until the next data refresh time for the drone. Taking Misty Island's midnight as the baseline, it's now 5 a.m. on Misty Island, and the next data refresh is still 19 hours away.

There was a big problem with the drone's flight range, but Yang Qi's situation was extremely urgent, and couldn't be ignored. Therefore, after encountering this problem, Yan Fei began to consider how to use the limited energy points rationally to ensure the success of his mission.

Thus, Yan Fei began to reduce the flight speed of the drone, and as the flight speed decreased, the consumption of energy points significantly dropped, allowing the drone to fly further. The Auxiliary Brain had already turned off the internet function to save energy points. As for the activation and scanning of the quantum radar, Yan Fei also became cautious. Unless the situation was special or combat occurred, he would activate the quantum radar for scanning; otherwise, he kept the quantum radar off to avoid rapid consumption of energy points.

Fortunately, the drone possessed a strong stealth ability and was not easily detected by US radar. Otherwise, approaching the United States without activating the quantum radar would have been discovered by American radars much sooner. Over an hour later, Yan Fei arrived over the North American continent an hour later than planned; it was now 12 p.m. in Los Angeles.

The drone flew the entire journey at an altitude of 25,000 meters, and even without the quantum radar activated, the drone's innate “sight” and “hearing” capabilities were exceptionally strong, allowing it to detect US Forces' patrol fighter jets from a distance and avoid them. With the drone's stealth ability, ground-based radar systems were effectively blind and failed to detect the massive drone flying overhead.

The drone glided silently over the Los Angeles city area, heading east towards Nevada. Twenty minutes later, it finally reached the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains serve as the border between California and Nevada, and it's due to the barrier of this massive mountain range that there is a stark difference in climate on either side. Nevada on the east side of the Rocky Mountains is exceptionally dry, filled with deserts and wastelands; meanwhile, California on the west side of the Rocky Mountains enjoys a blessed climate, pleasant weather, and abundant resources.

As the drone approached Yang Qi's location coordinates, it hovered inside a cloud at 8,000 meters above ground, then began to “observe” the Rocky Mountains below. It found many military vehicles parked along several branch highways of the mountain range. All these vehicles were camouflaged, blending into their surroundings. If the drone's “sight” was not so powerful, these military vehicles might have gone undetected.

After spotting these peculiarly behaved military vehicles, Yan Fei became suspicious. He was very close to Yang Qi's coordinates; why were so many military vehicles parked here? The vehicles were camouflaged and far from the main road–were they conducting military exercises? Or, was it possible that it wasn't the Los Angeles Police who captured Yang Qi, but the US army?
