Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1234 - 1203: Competition and Cooperation

Heseman Brown didn't leave a "Space-Time Seed" at the National Defense Star Aerospace Company headquarters. Chen Fei still needs to take a scheduled route on a small flying ship to return home in a conventional manner.

By the time the flight route was approved and the small flying ship finally took off from Socotra Island, it was already noon the next day.

Compared to before, not only has The First Sovereignty, but other sovereignties' air control has also become much stricter.

The internal chaos at Blue Star Global United Defense Committee Headquarters Habulav alerted many sovereignties. Besides the lurking "Seed Nest" and Parasitic Species, the "Sagali" civilization still has many unknown "Dark Piles" within Blue Star.

After all, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.

It's not at all surprising that among Blue Star's nearly ten billion population, there would be some degenerates willing to ruin the entire human civilization, even if they themselves end badly, stubbornly clinging to the alien invaders. And there are even more fools with wishful thinking.

The enslaved races of "Sagali" civilization, with their genes neutered, are probably the descendants of these traitors, forever sinking into degradation.

Perhaps the "Life Tree" in Chen Fei's hands is the only way for these enslaved races to be liberated.

The small flying ship carrying Chen Fei and others did not land at the civilian public spaceport but directly flew to the commercial aviation base of the National Defense Star Aerospace Company headquarters. As a global top-tier aircraft manufacturer, it has more than one aviation base, and the headquarters base is the largest in scale with the most complete facilities.

The airship's takeoff and landing process does not rely on a long runway and can land vertically on the landing field.

"Eh? Shen Fei, why are you here too?"

Chen Fei spotted Shen Fei among the welcoming crowd.

Of course, there were also a dozen people from the Nangong Team working like cattle for him, all were tool people. They proposed design ideas, perfected by AI, run through infinite computing power to simulate, and collide with complex physical rules. This job seemed too easy.

The collaboration between Intelligent Species and AI, along with the massive computing resources of the "planetary-level compute node," fully brought out the strengths of both. The resulting effect is not just 1+1=2, but greater than 3, greater than 4, and even higher.

"A new Sky Knight is about to be born. This is a collaboration between the Northern Weapons Industry Group and the National Defense Star Aerospace Company. Lateral collaboration in the commercial field is not surprising. I'm responsible for representing Northern Weapons Industry to liaise with National Defense Star for the customization of Crystal Jet business. Only what's most suitable is the best when it comes to Crystal Jets."

Shen Fei approached Chen Fei with a charming smile.

Though adversaries, this pair got entangled because of Chen Shan's Sky Knight trial training.

"So you've set your sights on my Tactical Jet!"

Chen Fei glanced at the expressionless Nangong Ruiyang and suddenly understood.

He didn't call the Nangong Team over based on the Northern Weapons Industry Company's perspective but to gather relevant data for Tactical Jet optimization.

Design optimization can never be too much; the entire design and optimization improvement of a combat aircraft can take up to 100 years, enough to see off five generations of engineers.

"So far, our Tactical Jet matches best with Chen Shan."

Nangong Ruiyang explained why Shen Fei, representing the Northern Weapons Industry Group, appeared here.

The Nangong Team is involved in private activities and does not represent Northern Weapons Industry officially. Shen Fei is the cooperation representative for the corporation.

Of course, the National Defense Star can also obtain Tactical Jet's technical data from Chen Fei, but a temporarily assembled team can never surpass the pre-existing and long-researched Nangong Team. Like they were prepared early, just waiting for Chen Shan. With such an absolute initial advantage, even if National Defense Star doesn't like it, they have to accept it, making way for the new Sky Knight.

As Shen Fei said, only what's suitable is the best; otherwise, it loses the significance of being tailor-made.

National Defense Star could forcefully proceed on its own, but it wouldn't fully unleash the potential of Chen Shan's Sky Knight talent. However, even a 1% advantage often becomes decisive in actual combat, so even the slightest deficiency cannot be tolerated.

"Let me see your results!"

Chen Fei hadn't paid attention to the Nangong Team's research progress for a while. As soon as he finished speaking, AI "Adam" opened the exclusive directory of the Nangong Team on the AR visual assistance effect interface.

Currently, what can be done is mainly focused on refining details. Unless there is major progress in materials and heat treatment, it is difficult to achieve significant breakthroughs in the overall direction.

"What are you looking at?"

Nangong Ruiyang puzzledly saw Chen Fei's eyes unfocused, clearly not looking at himself or the others, and he kept swiping his hand through the air.

Altogether, there were more than a dozen technical updates. These young engineers didn't waste the abundant resources Chen Fei provided.

"AR visual effect with the naked eye, advanced huh?"

Chen Fei turned his gaze and looked at him.

AR visual effect assistance interface is different from the Metallic Dragons' "Heritage Module." The former relies on habitual graphical interfaces, while the latter is a digital seamless connection, with no need for any interface, naturally integrated as "I am Computer" rather than Chen Fei's acquired "I add Computer."

"Why don't you transcend with a holy body!"

Nangong Ruiyang won't be polite to this guy ordering them to work for free.

Labor is a hobby, don't expect a friendly attitude, at least have some mental awareness.

This rivalry thing isn't even over yet!

"Who says the body hasn't been sanctified, it's already impervious to swords and guns, okay?"

Chen Fei smiled with the pride of a Metal Ability User.

He and Nangong Ruiyang executed a five-minute mental duel. Whether or not one's body has been sanctified, there's no harm without comparison.

"Stop bickering, focus on the main business."

Shen Fei rounded up between the two, resembling the current relationship between Northern Weapons Industry and National Defense Star: dislike yet forced to cooperate. What a pair of entangled adversaries.

"How is Chen Shan's state?"

Chen Fei habitually calls Chen Shan Little Shanzi, but only in the presence of family, since it could cause misunderstandings if said in front of outsiders, especially if someone else's name also has Shan in it. That would be awkward!

"Starting from yesterday, all training has been suspended. He's conserving energy, preparing for tomorrow's trial subject."

Representing Northern Weapons Industry, Shen Fei is deeply involved in this Sky Knight trial project. After all, tailoring a Crystal Jet requires comprehensive participation to grasp as much detailed information as possible.

"Where is he now?"

Chen Fei's gaze circled around Nangong Ruiyang and others, seemingly finding the answer.

"Hmph!" Nangong Ruiyang disdainfully ignored, only interested in Tactical Jet-related matters, not bothering with Chen Fei for anything else.

Wherever Chen Shan is, those engineers working on Tactical Jets will be there too, as it's tailored for them. Even the slightest detail must be overlooked.

"He's in the hangar, accumulating state in the cockpit of the Tactical Jet."

Shen Fei confirmed Chen Fei's speculation.

"He's trying to make a habit out of nature! Without enough flight hours, he even wants to sit long enough!"

Chen Fei could understand Little Shanzi's mindset, wishing to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep all in the cockpit, even considering modifying the ejection seat into an ejection toilet seems ideal.

Ejection toilet?

Even astronauts with built-in diapers wouldn't dare to dream that beautiful, so just enjoy the ride!
