Chapter 479

Moli Island.

Inside the huge factory, an aircraft several meters in diameter and over ten meters tall, a flat circular craft, was parked.

Its exterior was painted silver-white, like a silver-white UFO, looking very sci-fi.

Besides a large number of intelligent machines inside the factory, there were also more than ten engineers.

Huang Ziping alone could not complete the assembly of this aircraft.

The engineers present were all from the Tang Family and the Ouyang Family, completely trustworthy.

Moreover, they had not even come into contact with the core technology of the anti-gravity aircraft.

Ouyang Moli stood beside Lin Feng with her arms crossed, gazing up at this huge UFO.

"Can this thing really fly?"

Ouyang Moli asked curiously.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "We'll know after the test flight tonight."

Ouyang Moli waved her hand, and more than ten engineers went out.

Huang Ziping stepped forward and pressed a switch.

The hatch at the bottom of the aircraft opened.

"Boss, this lower hatch is the cargo hold; the cockpit is above, accessed through the cargo hold."

Saying that, he made a gesture inviting Lin Feng.

Then he turned around and entered the cargo hold via the stairs on the hatch.

The cargo hold is cylindrical, with a diameter of about twenty meters.

There is a door in the cargo hold's wall; going through it leads to a metal staircase to the cockpit.

After climbing up, one reaches a cockpit over two meters high, round, with an arched top.

The interior space is still quite large, able to seat more than ten people, and there is a control console that looks rather rudimentary.

Huang Ziping introduced: "Boss, this aircraft currently has no windows; it uses external cameras that feed back the images."

Above it there is radar, with automatic collision‑avoidance function. The operating system is linked to the satellites in the sky, and flight can provide navigation for the aircraft……

After Huang Ziping finished speaking, Lin Feng asked curiously, "How heavy is this aircraft?"

Huang Ziping scratched his head and said, "About 120 tons!"

That's equivalent to the weight of two tanks.

"That heavy, can it fly?"

Ouyang Moli looked astonished.

"Er…"

Huang Ziping was taken aback, then explained: "An anti‑gravity aircraft isn't judged by weight; as long as it's under the ether field force, it exhibits a weightless state.

It is equivalent to objects floating in space. Therefore, the key to an anti‑gravity aircraft is its activation, which requires a large amount of electricity.

Once activated, the electricity consumption can be reduced by dozens of times; previously I thought of installing many batteries or high‑power generators inside the aircraft.

But after calculation, doing that would leave little internal space, so it's best to use external power for activation.

Of course, the aircraft's own onboard power device can also allow it to start independently two or three times.

After Huang Ziping finished speaking, Lin Feng frowned and said, "In other words, this aircraft currently still needs a base where it can dock at any time?"

"Yes!"

Huang Ziping nodded.

Then he said again: "This is just the first one, rather crude; if we build more later, we can continually improve all the shortcomings. Boss, you name this aircraft!"

Lin Feng didn't think much and said, "Let's just call it Moli No. 1!"

The aircraft's name isn't important; it's just a name.

Upon hearing that, Ouyang Moli was overjoyed, gazing at Lin Feng with loving eyes.

Her eyes felt itchy, and she was moved to tears.

The test flight will take place at night.

After Lin Feng finished touring, the three of them left the aircraft.

After they went outside, Huang Ziping said, "I almost forgot—the cockpit has an escape function; in danger, the whole cabin can be shot out, equipped with a parachute."

Lin Feng said, "Ziping, after the test flight succeeds, you must make the later aircraft able to enter space and fly in the universe, and also be able to dive into the deep sea, navigating like a submarine."

Huang Ziping laughed and said, "Boss, I think the same! I also dreamed of flying to the Moon and Mars! But first we need to launch detectors to gather data. Actually, many Guo Jia already have this data; it would be great if we could obtain it."

Lin Feng shook his head, "Basically impossible! We should just take it step by step and do it ourselves! With Moli No. 1, obtaining that data is actually quite easy."

Huang Ziping then suggested, "Boss, I can't do all this alone. The engineers that Moli Sister found, having them work as assemblers is really a waste; much of the research work could be entrusted to them. Moreover, the more people we have later, the better."

Lin Feng nodded, "I know! But that's for later. Right now, the most important task is secrecy."

Next is just waiting, waiting for it to get dark.

Lin Feng can be certain that there are already satellites monitoring Moli Island in the sky.

At night, at least we can avoid some satellite surveillance.

As for remote sensing detection, it's useless against Moli No. 1.

After leaving the factory, Ouyang Moli stuck close to Lin Feng.

"Dear…"

She only said those three words, and Lin Feng understood her meaning.

Lin Feng hadn't made barbecue for Ouyang Moli in a long time.

She was craving it terribly.

Grilled skewers are Lin Feng's specialty.

Having a barbecue on the sea island has its own unique flavor.

The greedy Ouyang Moli ate until her mouth was covered in oil.

After eating the barbecue, the two lay on the beach chairs.

Ouyang Moli applied a face mask.

After a long time blowing in the sea wind on the island, her skin became unhealthy.

The face mask was prepared by Lin Feng for her, pure natural and unpolluted, with strong restorative ability.

Only the taste was somewhat unpleasant.

Ouyang Moli had applied it more than once, naturally knowing its efficacy.

She felt that just Lin Feng's skill in making this face mask meant she could never leave him in this lifetime.

Finally, night fell.

The factory's Da Men opened.

Tracks were installed under the Moli Ship.

Under the tug's pull, the Moli Ship slowly moved to the flat ground outside the factory.

When leaving the factory, the Moli Ship was already powered; electromagnetic waves hitting it were absorbed, producing no reflection.

Huang Ziping also held a radar-like detector and demonstrated it to Lin Feng.

Surely, to radar the Moli Ship was a stealth target.

About an hour later, the preparations for the test flight were completed.

Test flight is a dangerous job.

Lin Feng certainly wouldn't go up; Huang Ziping is precious, and Lin Feng also wouldn't allow him to test‑fly.

The test pilots were two engineers from the Tang Family.

For the test flight, Lin Feng, Ouyang Moli, and Huang Ziping arrived at a room inside the mountain on Moli Island.

The room contained a Large Screen showing the outside situation.

On several computer monitors in front of Huang Ziping, various data of the Moli Ship were displayed.

When the progress bar on one of the monitors reached ninety‑nine percent, Huang Ziping pressed the switch before him, picked up the walkie‑talkie, and said, 'We can begin!'

As soon as his voice fell, the Moli Ship outside jettisoned its huge cable, then slowly rose into the air.

Next, the aircraft, following Huang Ziping's command, rose to an altitude of several thousand meters, flying swiftly in the air, hovering, and landing…

Lin Feng widened his eyes looking at the Large Screen.

On it was a simulated flight of the Moli Ship, which looked extremely agile.

Just like an agile dragonfly!
