Chapter 136: Woohoo! Takeoff!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was the weekend.
After Tang Rui finished eating, he accompanied Li Shuyao to sit on the sofa and chat.
Buzz…
His phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Professor Yu.
“Hello, Professor… I’ll be there tonight too… They would arrive in half an hour…
Yes, I won’t go to the airport. I’ll go straight to school… Alright, goodbye, Sir.”
Hanging up the phone, Tang Rui looked at Li Shuyao.
“I have to go to a meeting. 1 won’t be back tomorrow. I’ll see how it goes the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright, go ahead. Don’t worry about me,” Li Shuyao nodded and said with a smile.
“Alright, the teacher is urging me. I’ll set off now.”
“I’ll send you off.”
“No need. Go watch the drama. There’s nothing to give.”
“Have a safe trip. Remember not to stay up too late.”
After bidding farewell to Li Shuyao, Tang Rui nodded and went to the laboratory.
“Red Lotus, is everything ready?”
“Master, it has been ready for a long time.”
Tang Rui nodded and took off his clothes, revealing the nano anti-G suit inside.
The same type of EVA suit.
For those who have no idea, they might want to refer to Spiderman’s nano armor.
Tang Rui put on a pair of specially made shoes and stood on a moving mechanical platform.
In the next moment, A mechanical ring appeared behind him, and more than ten mechanical arms extended out. Each mechanical arm held a part of the armor.
Tang Rui stretched out both hands, level with his shoulders.
Clack… clack… clack…
The mechanical arm attached the parts of the battle armor to Tang Rui’s body, perfectly fitting together with the nano anti-G suit on the surface of his body.
In less than five seconds, a set of special armor was put on his body.
It was not Iron Man armor, nor could it fly, but it could be regarded as a spacesuit with exoskeleton capabilities.
The entire set of armor was tightly fitted and specially processed.
From the shoes to the helmet, there was no air leakage.
Even if he wore this suit of armor to outer space, it would not be a problem.
After changing into his new outfit, Tang Rui walked out of the laboratory and came to the assembly workshop.
A black fighter jet with cold blue stripes on the edge was parked there quietly.
This was the White Emperor fighter jet that Red Lotus had created in the past few days.
The entire body was made of a high-temperature-resistant composite material with a melting point of 4280 degrees.
The surface of the body was coated with a nano-atomic coating and an electromagnetic wave-absorbing coating. The radar wave reflection cross-section was almost zero.
It was 22.17 meters long, 3.62 meters high, and 15.2 meters wide.
Two-seater, two-engine, thrust-to-weight ratio of 22.5.
Tang Rui glanced at the body and boarded the cockpit.
Beep!
The droplet-shaped hatch cover slowly fell.
The helmet was automatically connected to the oxygen port at the back of the seat.
The dashboard in front was a graphene screen without any messy buttons.
After Tang Rui fastened his seatbelt, he started the system.
Beep!
The helmet screen in front of him lit up, and the fighter plane’s self-test began.
[System self-check complete. Everything is normal.]
Tang Rui started the engine to warm up.
The tow robot was dragging the White Emperor fighter jet out of the assembly shop slowly.
“Fish Pond to tower.”
Turning on the communication system, Tang Rui began to contact the tower.
“Go ahead, Fish Pond”
“Requesting to take off.”
“Please report your flight objective.”
“Night flight training.”
“Please wait a moment.”
“Roger, Fish Pond.”
At that moment, the White Emperor fighter jet had already arrived on the runway. The engine had finished warming up and was ready to take off at any time.
But Tang Rui was waiting for news from the tower.
Although his reason for applying to take off was a little ridiculous, he did not have to worry about not being able to fly… unless it was a special situation.
Normally, when he applied to fly, he would be approved.
However, tonight, he was piloting a fighter jet, not a drone.
The tower did not ask, and he did not say anything.
If he really said it, he could forget about taking off.
In less than a minute, the control tower replied with permission to take off.
After Tang Rui received the news, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He pushed the throttle and released the brakes.
The strong push on his back pressed him firmly against the back of the seat, and he could not get up.
“Awesome!
H
Tang Rui shouted excitedly.
This sensation was something that the simulator could not replicate.
Only by piloting a fighter jet could one experience such a manner of blood-boiling.
He glided for less than 200 meters.
Tang Rui gently pulled up the control stick.
The fighter jet raised its head slightly and the landing gear left the ground.
He pulled the control stick again.
The fighter jet suddenly raised its head and began to climb at a high angle.
At this time, Tang Rui pulled the throttle back, reducing the engine thrust.
Then, he raised the lever on the dashboard with his left hand.
This lever was used to control the landing gear.
Why did he have to turn it into a lever?
She was afraid that she would forget.
If the lever was placed to the side and the lever was on top, it meant the landing gear was retracted.
The lever was at the bottom, indicating that the landing gear had been lowered.
The pilot could see the state of the landing gear at a glance.
Very quickly, the fighter jet reached an altitude of 15,000 meters.
It was then that Tang Rui’s hands and feet began to stir.
Stepping on the steering wheel and pulling the control stick, he began to maneuver.
“Woo Hoo! Takeoff!”
Tang Rui felt very good. This was much better than the simulator.
The maneuvering ability of a forward-swept fighter jet was not something that a swept-wing fighter jet could compare to.
He moved around in all kinds of small angles and small radius.
It was simply the best use of the aero magic.
He had the piloting skills of a pilot with a golden helmet, coupled with the black technology cockpit and anti-G suit.
When Tang Rui did his maneuvers, he completely did not consider the G-force.
With an overload of 8G and 9G, after double weakening, Tang Rui could only feel the pressure of 2G at most.
This did not affect him at all.
He was having a great time.
However, it was very uncomfortable for the control tower.
You said that you needed to train at night to control a drone.
Alright then.
Even if you were training at night, you wouldn’t be shouting. If you didn’t know, you would think you were flying a fighter jet.
Was there a need to be so excited about flying a drone?
“Tower to Fish Pond.”
The tower could not hold on any longer. He picked up the microphone and started calling Tang Rui.
“Go ahead, tower.”
“Please do not shout in the communication channel.”
“Alright, sorry.”
Only then did Tang Rui react. He wasn’t controlling the drone on the ground.
It didn’t matter.
He just had to turn off the microphone.
What did you say?
Not allowed to turn off the microphone?
What a joke, was that a rule against him?
That was a rule for active pilots. He was not an active pilot, so this rule had nothing to do with him.
After messing around for a while, Tang Rui piloted the fighter jet and flew to an altitude of 30,000 meters, performing supersonic flight.
Boom!
As the world quieted down, the surrounding sounds disappeared.
The moment the fighter entered supersonic cruising, the forward-swept wings began to close.
Tang Rui didn’t care about the problem of the forward-swept wing.
He pushed the throttle and continued to accelerate.
Mach 2.5.
Mach 3.7.
Mach 4.9.
Mach 6.1.
When the speed of the fighter jet exceeded Mach 6.5, the speed of the fighter jet was extremely fast.
Tang Rui could clearly see the red light in front of the nose through the cockpit.
This was caused by the friction between the compressed air and the body.
Although it looked quite scary, it was actually nothing.
If they entered the atmosphere from outer space, that would be a terrifying prospect..
