Chapter 84: Failed Test Flight

However, Ye Cang did not explain in detail.

"As for this matter, it's rather troublesome to explain. You just need to know that when the time comes, our name will be a righteous one, absolutely upright and honorable!"

"The timing, the geography, and the unity of the people are all on our side!"

Seeing Ye Cang's resolute manner, the old man did not ask too much further.

He believed that Ye Cang would not act recklessly.

"Mm, I understand," the old man said slowly. "Since that's the case, I won't ask any more."

Having said this, the old man stood up.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I've stayed here long enough; I need to go back and rest."

"My main purpose in coming this time was to check on your situation, as there has been no news for two whole months."

The old man walked toward the outside as he spoke.

Ye Cang followed behind the old man.

Just as the old man was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Xiao Cang."

"I almost forgot, remember to make arrangements for those batches of research personnel I sent over to you!"

Reminded by the old man, Ye Cang immediately remembered.

"I know."

After receiving Ye Cang's reply, the old man left with peace of mind.

Ye Cang looked at the massive Taotie Main Battleship not far away and fell into thought.

It definitely wouldn't work to dismantle this thing openly; he had to find a way to get it into the Underground Base.

But the area of the Underground Base seemed a bit lacking; it needed to be expanded.

As for how to expand it... that was another problem.

Using robots certainly wouldn't work.

Because a large number of robots had long since gone to rebuild Tianhe City, and the number of robots he had on hand was just enough to be used for the construction of the Four Symbols Firmament Plan.

It was impossible to spare any.

To build new robots would take about 3 days at the fastest.

After comprehensive consideration, Ye Cang decided to expand the Underground Base with his own hands!

As for how to expand it with his own hands, did that even need to be said?

Of course, by using Quantum Control!

Previously, his hardware facilities couldn't keep up, so he rarely used it, but now that he had become a Second Generation Super Soldier, while his hardware facilities might not be the absolute best, they were at least enough to expand an Underground Base!

Thinking of this, Ye Cang headed straight for the Underground Base.

After arriving at the Underground Base, he first evacuated the research personnel and the stationed soldiers.

Immediately after, he stood alone in the Underground Base and began to use Quantum Control.

One could see that wherever Ye Cang's gaze swept, the soil there vanished into thin air, replaced by one open space after another.

And they were even already furnished.

As Ye Cang exerted his full power in Quantum Control, the Underground Base was also expanding rapidly.

It took only half a day.

The Underground Base had been expanded by a full 5 times, and the depth had also increased by 1000 meters.

Now, this Underground Base was a full 6000 meters deep.

If he were to dig another 4000 meters down, he might be able to touch the Four Symbols Firmament.

However, that was impossible.

The location of the Underground Base was in Beizhixing; no matter how he dug, he wouldn't touch the Four Symbols Firmament.

Because the Four Symbols Firmament was underground at the edge of Huaxia.

After expanding the Underground Base, Ye Cang once again brought the entire Taotie Main Battleship into the Underground Base by Quantumizing it alone, and subsequently arranged for all the research personnel and their new tasks.

Having finished all this, he then returned to his office.

Sitting in the office chair, Ye Cang held a cup of hot water in his hands.

He thought while drinking.

Today, he had expanded the Underground Base all by himself and, after Quantumizing the Taotie Main Battleship, transported it into the Underground Base.

After doing all this, he was merely a little fatigued.

He could completely handle it.

Judging from the current situation, he could hand-craft any material on Earth without the slightest effort.

As long as he had seen it and understood its structure, it was not a problem.

Mm... this thing called Quantum Control is a burden when one is weak, but once one is strong, it is truly powerful.

Moreover, he could also interface with Zhizi.

As long as his body could hold up, hand-crafting a Supernova would be like child's play.

Of course, that was still too far off.

Furthermore, Quantum Control was by no means limited to hand-crafting.

One had to know that he had not yet understood the new era concepts of Quantum.

(Actually, the author himself is also struggling to understand; that stuff is truly too brain-burning—wave packets, wave-particle duality, I regret adding this cheat.)

He drank the hot water in one gulp.

Ye Cang then came outside.

It was already winter, and the sky would turn dark very early.

It was only a little past 3:00 PM, yet the sky had already begun to darken.

But this did not affect anything.

Ye Cang stretched out his hand, and the black Ceramic Steel Battle Armor covered his entire body, though this time the black Ceramic Steel Battle Armor had changed significantly compared to before.

One change was the addition of a Micro Cold Nuclear Fusion Reactor on the chest.

For the specific appearance, refer to Shidake's iron battle armor.

Another change was that the part of the Ceramic Steel Battle Armor below the waist, the leg section, had become much thicker.

Wearing the latest Ceramic Steel Battle Armor, Ye Cang moved his body around.

Very good, the two thickened legs would not hinder his movements.

Whether running or jumping, it was not a problem.

If one had to name a problem, it was that the Cold Nuclear Fusion Reactor on his chest was a bit conspicuous.

Aside from this, everything else was quite good.

Now, the basic tests were complete, so next came the main event.

Testing the battle armor's flight capability.

As Ye Cang moved his mind, thruster ports appeared at his waist and calves.

The next second, the thruster ports spewed out pale blue flames.

Very quickly, Ye Cang actually floated into the air and rose higher and higher.

In the end, he actually reached a position a thousand meters high in the sky.

Although he was a thousand meters up, Ye Cang could still clearly feel that this was not the limit of the Ceramic Steel Battle Armor; the battle armor could definitely fly another thousand meters higher.

It was just that the Cold Nuclear Fusion Reactor on his chest was flashing intensely.

It could even be used as a flashbang.

No, he had to fix this flaw!

The reactor placed on the chest... this was both a flaw and a weakness.

If a sword were to be thrust into it, it would be directly destr... destr...

Before Ye Cang could finish thinking the word "destroyed," the Ceramic Steel Battle Armor suddenly began to fly erratically in the sky, and at an extremely high speed, flying with no pattern whatsoever, completely chaotic.

But even while flying chaotically at a thousand meters high, Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction.

Because he knew very well that this was a problem with the control system.

He had placed the Anti-gravity System in the leg section of the battle armor, which was why the legs of the battle armor were a circle thicker than before.

And as for the control system, he had connected it directly to his brainwaves.

As for why he connected it to brainwaves, it was naturally for the convenience of control.

However, doing this would also lead to a problem.

That was... when controlling flight, once distracted, the flight would lose control!

Although Ye Cang had long anticipated this situation, he still held a sliver of wishful thinking, hoping that perhaps this wouldn't happen during actual flight.

As it turned out... hmm... wishful thinking must never be had.
