Sky-cracking Rider

Chen Xiao'er really had guts, right in front of the Cangqiong Star People, he used the recently gathered data of the "Sky Falcon" and exchanged energy points for metal materials to replicate a shiny all-metal "Sky Falcon" then and there in the hangar. However, this layer of "Sky Falcon" shell was completely different from the original version. "Blue Star's metal ability users are really amazing, being able to achieve this degree." The "Sky Falcon" pilot Minante said with a face full of amazement. The supernatural abilities of the Cangqiong Star People were mainly Battle Qi, magic, and curse magic. Magicians capable of curse magic were the rarest, and supernatural power users were very scarce. Most who had Blue Star bloodlines would awaken their special abilities. "In fact, the vast majority of supernatural power users can't do it, the control over their special abilities must reach industrial-grade precision level, and industrial-grade ability is just a standard, it does not specify the Elemental Series, for example, industrial-grade Light System, industrial-grade Water System, industrial-grade Fire System and so on. As long as it reaches the industrial-grade standard, it will be quite sought after." Chen Fei had to correct these misconceptions of the Cangqiong Star People about special abilities. Otherwise, if every Blue Star supernatural power user could do this, it would easily cause panic in the Blue Star civilization. If one person equals a factory and everyone is a factory manager, then what chance would other civilizations have? They would most likely end up as dumping grounds for pure trade deficits. Hundreds of years ago, Great Qing suffered from a trade surplus, wealth didn't match virtue, and was beaten into a dog by other countries. As an undergraduate of economics, Chen Fei was quite clear about this point. "Oh, I see! But it's still a bit different from what I imagined. Can this thing fly?" Minante looked at this all-metal constructed combat aircraft, his interest clearly piqued. His own "Sky Falcon" was already smashed to bits and he was currently without a vehicle. "It has 62 magic array inscription units, it can indeed fly, but I have no idea how it will fly!" Chen Fei had inscribed the all-metal "Sky Falcon" with "Repulsion Shield (45)" x1, "Mind Brand (1)" x1, "Gravity (1)" x1, "Fluid Vortex (2)" x6, "Silent Domain (1)" x1, "Water Bubble (1)" x1, using up almost 61 inscription units. But exactly how this thing would fly, he and the AI "Adam" had no clue at all, and it would probably take a few flights (or crashes) to figure it out. "Let's try and see, I'm very curious!" Although he didn't understand what was going on with the magic array inscription units, it didn't prevent Minante from being interested in this aircraft that looked almost exactly like the "Sky Falcon", but whose insides were completely different. "Who knows?" Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Activate takeoff mode!" The all-metal "Sky Falcon" control system was "Adam", and voice operation was a given since the original "Sky Falcon" lacked this feature and even a control system. It was still a binary inscrutable problem for alchemy, unless a powerful being could process magic explanation programs. But with the current level of technology, it was still a long way off. The main energy core, the Crystalline Block, had already been embedded. Zheng! Two pairs of 40-centimeter-long shiny blades shot out, oh my... It was almost too painful to watch. These four objects weren't light wings, they were weapons!!! Four of the six "Fluid Vortex (2)" magic arrays were used on these four all-metal flying wings. The air waves swept through the hangar, and the four sleek all-metal flying wings beat alternately, increasing in frequency more and more. Thanks to the "Fluid Vortex (2)" magic arrays amplifying the air currents, they didn't need a very high flapping frequency to acquire enough takeoff thrust. "Gravity (1)" magic array activated, and the originally heavy body became lighter and gently lifted off the ground. "Wow, it took off!" "Isn't this the 'Sky Falcon'!" "Special abilities are too powerful! Magic certainly couldn't do this. Alchemy can't compare at all." The Cangqiong Star People watching the excitement exclaimed repeatedly. After all, the supernatural power users of Cangqiong were extremely rare, and there were more War Professionals, Spellcasters, and Curse Casters. Minante originally wanted to board this all-metal "Sky Falcon" to experience its maiden flight and see what the difference was from the original "Sky Falcon". Chen Fei, however, held him back, leaving him on the ground, drooling over the smoothly ascending constructed aircraft. ``` Chen Fei, who had gained masterful experience from crash-landing aircraft, of course knew that if anything went wrong, he would definitely be fine, but this young man would likely be gone with just one bad hit. "Ascend, descend, advance, retreat, left forward, right back, right forward, left back, make circles in three dimensions..." Chen Fei instructed "Adam" to control the all-metal "Sky Falcon" to perform a variety of actions, which started out stiff and rigid, but as the action model formula was perfected, they gradually became smooth and fluid. The "Silent Domain (1)" Magic Array was playing its part in eliminating noise, otherwise the loud sound produced by the rapid flapping of the four all-metal flying wings would have alarmed people outside the hangar. The "Sky Falcon" was not a flapping-wing aircraft in the purest sense; the flapping motion of the Light Wings was only to achieve more complex maneuvering postures. The aircraft of Blue Star civilization could hardly perform such delicate movements, not even the most advanced helicopters. The all-metal flying wings were more dangerous than the original Light Wings—if one were to accidentally come into contact with a person, they would certainly be dismembered in an instant. After flying for a while, the all-metal "Sky Falcon" returned to the ground, and Chen Fei shook his head, saying, "It's still not right, too heavy, completely lacking a sense of agility." A real "Sky Falcon" is like a dancing sprite in the sky, moving freely as if it has a spirit, capable of performing various actions. However, to Chen Fei, this all-metal "Sky Falcon" was just a clumsy, slow-moving live target, a sheer waste of Crystal Energy. "It seems to be the case, although it looks very similar, it is indeed not the same." Minante, who had more than 500 hours of rich flying experience, scratched his head in the same confusion. He was beginning to understand what Industrial-grade Ability was all about. If Chen Fei could really replicate the "Sky Falcon" exactly, that would truly be... a huge help! Alchemy has never been a technique that needs to consider cost, especially for the production of assembled combat aircraft. Even though the craftsmanship is now quite mature, and many Blue Star devices have been introduced to increase mass production efficiency, the production cost of "Sky Falcon" remains high. Without the sponsorship of the Great Nobility and Wealthy Merchants, "Gale Team" could never have been formed, nor could it have come to Blue Star to participate in the "Abyssal Gladiatorial". If the "Sky Falcon" could be mass-produced with the help of Industrial-grade Special Ability, many people who meet the flying standards would have the chance to soar into the sky, gallop freely, and more "Gale Teams" would emerge, with Sky Knights no longer being alone. "That's enough for today. We'll continue figuring it out later!" The all-metal "Sky Falcon" slowly landed back in its original spot, and the elongated flying wing that had been a dangerous shadow reappeared in its form. It's one thing to have a brief float inside a hangar; flying out into the sky would require permission from the organizers of "Abyssal Gladiatorial". Such permission is most likely unobtainable, as public venues simply do not allow for such hastily created flying objects to take flight. Chen Fei reached out to the all-metal "Sky Falcon" that had settled down and folded its flying wings. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is an assembled aircraft. Chen Fei, being a novice among novices, found it quite an achievement to have managed flight, movement forwards, and retreat. System: Ding, 1435 kilograms of alloy absorbed, gained Energy Points +1! Composition ratio: Titanium 75%, Aluminum 12%... True to its nature as the Dog System, it used two Energy Points for the exchange but only gave back one upon recycling, with the other presumably eaten by the dog itself. The Crystalline Blocks used in the all-metal "Sky Falcon" returned to Chen Fei's hands, and he now had two high-capacity Crystalline Blocks in his possession. One was picked up from the lair of a Mutant, a relic of a battlefield from over thirty years ago, while the other came from a knock-off Crystal Jet. Perhaps the Miyoshi Monk, an insider, had chosen to turn a blind eye, seeing it as a favor carried by the tide. Blue Star's Global United Defense Committee was too busy firing Chen Fei, sending him home to fend for himself. By the time they finally remembered this matter... there was no story left to tell. A Crystalline Block smaller than a fist falling into the wilderness and not being found is to be expected. "A Crystalline Block, you actually have one of these?" Minante finally noticed the crystal-clear energy core in Chen Fei's hands, a rare sight for an individual to possess. Even on its home planet Cangqiong Star, Crystalline Blocks were scarce because production was limited, and both planets had significant shortages, with priority given to the military, then industry, and then commerce, with civil use often put last. "Spoils of war that I picked up!" Chen Fei waved it in his hand and then pocketed it. Such a unit-capacity-grade Crystalline Block was a rare find, acquired at the risk of his life. If anyone else wanted it, they'd also have to exchange their life for it. ```
