Chapter 816: A Lot of Debris
Lin Feng currently possesses four anti‑gravity flyers.
Moli No. 1 and Moli No. 2 are the first generation.
Moli No. 3 and Moli No. 4 are the second generation.
The third‑generation Moli No. 5 and No. 6 have already begun construction.
Not only are the two new Moli units under construction; No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 are also continuously being retrofitted.
Moli No. 4 has just undergone modification, and the most obvious change is the cockpit.
Because a portion of data was obtained from the Witch Tribe's Shēngwù diànnǎo, the Moli's piloting functions have been optimized.
The cockpit's control console has become more streamlined, saving a great deal of space compared with before.
The flattened‑round cockpit is now divided into two sections.
One part is a narrower control room, serving as a cockpit for two to four pilots.
The other part is a secondary control room, designed to feel even more sci‑fi.
Splitting the original cockpit in two is, of course, for greater convenience.
Sometimes Lin Feng needs to discuss secret matters with someone nearby and cannot let the pilots know.
It's like the private cars of some big bosses, where the front and rear seats are separated into two compartments.
Lin Feng and Qi Yao sit in the secondary cockpit and can see the pilots' actions outside.
But the pilots cannot see into the secondary cockpit, nor hear any sounds from within.
Also, in dangerous situations, the secondary cockpit is the safest and can eject at any time.
When airborne, it has a parachute.
If it lands in water, it becomes a small submersible.
Of course, if luck is bad and it falls into a volcano crater and sinks into magma, there's nothing that can be done.
Just now, while driving and holding a brief meeting with Qi Yao, Lin Feng, upon seeing the altered cockpit, couldn't help but think,
The Moli's current cockpit will make future meetings much more convenient.
"Huh~"
Lin Feng let out a sigh and reclined in his seat.
Although the meeting on the road was brief, it consumed a lot of energy.
Lin Feng has certainly experienced this kind of meeting before.
But holding a meeting together with Qi Yao is different.
Even though it was short, the exerted energy was enormous.
So that after the vehicle stopped, Qi Yao spent a good while gathering the scattered paper documents.
"You're satisfied now, aren't you!"
Qi Yao said lightly.
"Everything I said before was a joke; please don't take it seriously!"
Lin Feng's "joke" referred to remarks like "you've been with me too long, you don't like me" and the like.
"Hm?"
Qi Yao widened her eyes and stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng quickly replied, "Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"
"Let's get down to business!"
Qi Yao said calmly, "Shi Yi's group's discovery this time is very important."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "My intuition tells me there's treasure on this island!"
……
At the same time.
Lin Chang'e, Lin Jingru, and Shu Jingya, after receiving Lin Shi Yi's notice, stopped at the edge of the island.
The three did not follow; Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang, together with a dozen or so subordinates, also did not enter the island's interior.
But the two gathered together and whispered.
"Dai Shao, have you noticed that ever since we arrived on the island, we suddenly seem unafraid of those little demons!"
Sun Dang said, his eyes rolling rapidly.
Dai Chengliang nodded, "You feel the same way? I thought I was the only one."
Sun Dang replied, "What do you say, let's use this chance to leave! Break free from the control of those two little demons! My intuition tells me we can obtain a great opportunity on this island."
"Opportunity!? It won't be dangerous, will it?"
Dai Chengliang shook his head, "I think we should be more cautious; in an environment like this, the ones who jump most enthusiastically are the first to die."
Sun Dang patted Dai Chengliang's shoulder and sneered, "Dai Shao, how about this: you stay here watching the little demons, I'll lead the others out first; if they ask, you just say I went ahead to scout."
Dai Chengliang hesitated briefly, then nodded, "Alright! Go ahead without worry. I'll cover your rear."
Sun Dang made an OK hand gesture.
Then he led seven subordinates into the jungle.
After Sun Dang and his men left, Dai Chengliang walked up to Lin Chang'e, Lin Jingru, and Shu Jingya, chuckling, "That kid Sun Dang is unreliable; he ran off with his men first!"
"Then why don't you leave?"
Lin Chang'e crossed her arms, a cold sneer on her face as she stared at Dai Chengliang.
Dai Chengliang snickered, then raised a hand, "I, Dai Chengliang, am the most loyal to you two; if you say go west, I would never dare go east; if you say chase chickens, I would never shoo ducks!"
After that, he chuckled again, "But I think this island definitely has treasure; we're stopping here while those people rush ahead and get the treasure first, leaving us empty‑handed."
Lin Chang'e looked at Lin Jingru.
Lin Jingru smiled and said, "If you want to go, then go! Don't worry about us."
"Oh! I think I'll just stay."
Seeing Lin Jingru say that so readily, Dai Chengliang instead dispelled the urge to take people away.
At that moment, the walkie-talkie of one of Dai Chengliang's subordinates suddenly emitted a 'hissing' sound.
That subordinate immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Hey! Hey hey hey!"
"I am Number Five, I am Number Five! Now starting communications test, please respond if you hear!"
"I am Number One, Number Five, I received you!"
"I am Number Three, Number Five, I heard you!"
"I am Number Two!"
After the walkie-talkie crackled with a garbled message, one of Dai Chengliang's subordinates reported to him with a look of delight: "Young Master Dai, communications have been restored!"
As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly brightened.
Everyone looked up and saw the dark clouds pressing over the island dispersing rapidly.
A beam of bright sunlight shone down.
Finally, centered on that beam of sunlight, the black clouds scattered, revealing a deep blue sky.
And the communications, surprisingly, were fully restored; when using the walkie-talkies, the sound was no longer as fuzzy as before.
Dai Chengliang immediately had his subordinates open the carry-on boxes they were holding.
They took out small drones from the boxes and launched them into the air.
More than ten drones took off and flew toward the center of the crescent-shaped island.
The footage captured by the drones was quickly processed by software into a complete map of the island.
This is clearer than the map Lin Shiyi saw while sitting in the cockpit of Jasmine No. 3.
Of course, at this moment the image Lin Shiyi saw was different again.
"Wow!"
In the cockpit of Jasmine No. 3, Lin Baobao looked astonished.
Because the low-altitude footage taken by the drones showed countless wrecked ships and aircraft debris,
there were wooden ships from a thousand years ago, such as large sailboats with upturned bows and sterns, as well as treasure ships from ancient times of the great Eastern nation,
there were early iron-hulled ships covered in rivets, as well as modern warships,
the same went for aircraft: there were wooden propeller planes, as well as modern fighter jets,
Americans were astonished to discover that an F22 that had gone missing half a year ago lay half-submerged in seawater on the beach,
the cockpit canopy had opened, the seat had been ejected, and it was unknown whether the pilot was still alive.
