Chapter 174: Sending a Plane
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Master, Feng Yuan Xing has sent a message. His mission has been completed.” Red Lotus’s holographic image appeared beside Tang Rui and reported to him.
“Completed? How long had it been? It had only been half a month, and the matter had been settled?
“Red Lotus, explain the situation briefly. How did those people die?”
Tang Rui was very curious after hearing Red Lotus’s report.
“Yes, Master. This is the cause of their death.”
Tang Rui looked at the death reports on the projection screen in front of him and also unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Good heavens.
There were so many ways to die, enough to make two Grim Reaper movies.
“Okay, tell Old Feng to come back. Help him arrange the plane tickets and everything. Since the matter was settled, Old Feng had no reason to stay there.”
“Alright, Master. Red Lotus will go and get busy.”
After Red Lotus finished speaking, her figure disappeared.
In fact, Feng Yuanxing had gone there to solve the Congo problem.
Right then, we had the absolute advantage over the Congo.
As long as he finished the finishing touches, he would be fine.
It was very easy.
The various countries had already started investigating when the Congo situation was problematic.
After all, the deaths of those people were too coincidental.
The special forces of various countries did not believe in the word coincidence the most. In their understanding, this was the operation of their peers.
But they had no evidence.
This was all starting to get very uncomfortable.
Therefore, after those people died, the various countries sent people to conduct a further examination of their deaths.
After all, assassinations blatantly went against the rules.
Terrorist organizations could use it.
It was not that they could not use these special departments, but there was an unspoken rule that they could not make a move on the higher-ups of the government.
Which family didn’t have such means?
Today, you messed with me; tomorrow, I’ll mess with you.
Then wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
No matter how small the country was, even if they didn’t take these high-level government officials seriously, they were still the higher-ups of the country.
If this wasn’t an accidental death, then he would have to explain it properly.
After the people from the special departments of the various countries arrived.
Their first step was to survey the scene.
However, it was useless.
Other than a few who died at home, the scene was still preserved. The rest had long been destroyed.
The second step was to perform an autopsy.
According to the cause of death, the corpse of the recently deceased would leave behind some information. This was the most important thing.
It was a group of elites from special departments from all over the world.
They began to collect clues… to find the truth.
He had been busy for several days and collected a lot of data. Many of them were high-tech equipment. In the end, he came to a conclusion.
Everyone died a normal death. There were no assassinations.
The only coincidence was that they were too unlucky.
They even went to the rooftop where the object fell from the sky and used the equipment to scan the entire rooftop.
He got two answers.
One was that a large bird had landed on the edge of the rooftop and dislodged a loose stone slab that was about to break, killing someone.
The second was that a lizard had walked past the edge of the rooftop and moved the stone slab. The broken stone slab fell and killed someone.
There was no other explanation.
There were no other clues on the rooftop.
But it was because of this that it was even more terrifying.
The special departments of the various countries were not to be trifled with. They still found the connecting line between all the deaths.
That line was Feng Yuanxing.
What was that saying again?
After eliminating all the impossible possibilities, no matter how unbelievable the remaining one was, it was the truth.
Their colleagues in China had obtained some information about Feng Yuanxing before he joined Crimson Corporation.
After comparing the information, one had to admit that the information was not accurate.
Even in a sci-fi world, there were also magical men.
The members of the special department sent all the information they had collected and organized back to the headquarters.
As for whether the headquarters believed it or not, that was not something they could decide.
Was there anyone who doubted it?
Of course, there were.
On the same day, Feng Yuanxing was blacklisted and banned from entering the country.
When Tang Rui knew this news, the corners of his mouth twitched too.
It seemed that Old Feng could no longer be used.
In the future, if Old Feng dared to enter the country, he would be shot.
Actually, Tang Rui was also shocked.
However, he did not panic at all. At the very least, he had been fine for so long, which meant that he could still protect her.
“Master, the second transport plane has been completed. Do you want to drag it out of the assembly workshop?”
Red Lotus’s virtual projection appeared and asked.
“Done? Then drag it directly into the hangar.”
Tang Rui seemed indifferent after he heard it all.
He hadn’t been idle while Old Feng was away.
Tanks, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, and other equipment for the mechanized corps were all completed.
He made two of each type and took them to test them in actual combat.
He had already designed and built the transport planes that the military needed.
He also built two.
One was a private plane that he had modified according to the structure of the transport plane, and the other was a prototype transport plane that he had handed over to the Air Force for evaluation.
Although Tang Rui had a fighter jet, flying in the cramped cockpit wasn’t nearly as comfortable as riding in the cabin of a private jet.
Moreover, his private jet was loaded with a lot of good stuff. It even had an SEG unit installed.
To put it bluntly, his private jet could even fly into space.
However, it was just a statement. It was impossible for a private plane to go into space. It was meaningless.
Fighter jets could open the cockpit and bring someone to deliver something. How could a private plane open the door?
Once the hatch was opened, it would be over.
When it was designed, it was never intended for space.
The main purpose of installing the SEG unit was to prevent a crash. With this thing, there was no need to worry about a crash.
As for getting shot down by a missile?
What a joke.
If his private plane could be shot down by a missile, he would not be able to survive.
He said something humble: the combat power of his private jet could be ranked in the top 20 of the world’s Air Force combat power rankings.
That was putting it rather humbly.
Forget it.
One shouldn’t be too arrogant.
Got to stay low profile, stay low profile.
“Brother Lin, inform the Air Force and ask them to send someone to drive the prototype of the transport plane away for a test flight.”
Tang Rui came to Lin Chao’s place and said to him.
“Alright, I’ll contact them now.”
When Lin Chao was done contacting them, he found Tang Rui and asked how much the prototype of this transport plane cost.
Previously, the Air Force had given him one billion yuan for research and development.
As long as they gave him the blueprint, it would be fine.
He did not need to produce a prototype.
Now that Tang Rui had produced the prototype, the Air Force would be obliged to pay.
Anyway, they believed in Tang Rui’s prowess.
A transport plane that could be taken out would definitely not be bad, so he would definitely not be stingy in terms of money.
“Red Lotus, how much is the cost of the prototype of the Air Force transport plane?” Tang Rui asked Red Lotus.
“6,735,520,000.” Red Lotus reported the exact number.
Wait a minute…
“Why is it 6.7 billion?
When Tang Rui was designing, he clearly already considered the issue of manufacturing costs.
At that time, the cost of manufacturing the transport plane he designed was only 1.2 billion.
How did it suddenly become 6.7 billion?
“Master, didn’t you say that you wanted to build two identical transport planes?”
“That’s right, build two identical ones. That’s my personal… Wait, you didn’t build two private planes, did you?”
Tang Rui came back to his senses and was a little dumbfounded.
“Yes, Master. At that time, you said that you wanted to build two identical ones, and the design you took was the one you modified later.”
After Red Lotus finished speaking, she even played the video from that day.
It was indeed what Tang Rui said.
He wanted to make two identical ones.
As he spoke, the simulated structure of a private jet was in front of him.
This was very awlward.
Even though Red Lotus was an artificial intelligence, under the circumstances where there was no logical conflict in Tang Rui’s orders, it also only carried out the mission according to the orders.
Was there a logical error in Tang Rui’s order at that time?
There wasn’t.
Just like how he had created the tanks before, after modifying the design, he directly said that he would have two of each type.
Red Lotus understood these two orders to mean the same thing.
Therefore, it was equivalent to Red Lotus creating two private planes.
Moreover, they were all using good things.
Who should he sell this to?
There was no need to consider foreign countries.
In China, those who could afford something were unqualified to buy it.
Those who were qualified to buy it couldn’t afford it.
“President Tang, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with the price?” Lin Chao asked in puzzlement when he saw Tang Rui in a daze.
“It’s fine. Tell the Air Force that I’m going to send a plane to them and ask them to send someone over to drive it away.”
Tang Rui thought about it and decided to let loose a little.
What was there to sell?
Well send him off.
“Send a plane?” Lin Chao was stunned.
“Yes, send a plane. Let the Air Force send someone over.” Tang Rui didn’t explain much.
Anyway, the Air Force could easily understand the internal design of the private jet.
At that time, how they dealt with it would have nothing to do with him.
That night, a few pilots sent by the Air Force arrived.
Tang Rui let Red Lotus arrange for them to enter the simulation cabin to learn. After they finished learning, they directly drove the plane away.
In a short three days, the group of pilots completed their training.
Originally, the plane that Tang Rui made was already very easy to pilot. All kinds of intelligent auxiliary systems were very advanced.
Coupled with the existence of the SEG unit, it would be difficult to crash.
When a few pilots flew back to their base in a transport plane that had been modified into a private plane, it sent the entire establishment into an uproar.
Was this our latest transport plane?
It was simply gorgeous.
The entire body was curved, the nose was low, the back was high, and the tail was low.
The wings merged with the back of the aircraft at the top, forming a curved angle that slanted inward and downward, accompanied by a slight inward contraction.
There were four engines equipped with two-dimensional jet orifices in the wing stomach, and the air intake was on the back of the body behind the nose.
Overall, it looked like a bird of prey with its wings spread.
It was very beautiful.
However, when the higher-ups of the Air Force entered the cargo hold, they were all dumbfounded.
The decoration inside wasn’t luxurious, but it was definitely very advanced.
But the problem was, was this a transport plane?
Wasn’t this a private jet?
Although this private jet was equipped with a top-notch optical system, all kinds of scanning radars, and the information command transmission channel was also connected to the military, there were even defensive weapons and attack missiles.
But no matter what, this wasn’t a transport plane.
It was more like Air Force One.
Wait a minute…
Air Force One.
Tang Rui said to send a plane, could it be that this was what he meant?
