Chapter 210: Test Flight

"Transformation, the two of you?"

Lokin looked surprised when he heard Anno's words.

The two girls in front of me, the younger one looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the older one was at most twenty. Could they possibly modify such a dilapidated aircraft?

Even they need the help of a repairman; they can't fix it on their own.

Anno looked at Lokin's surprised expression and glanced behind him.

Following her gaze, Luo Jin saw five tall men carrying repair tools and dragging various aircraft parts as they approached.

Anno said, "My five older brothers are repairmen and designers."

Lokin looked enlightened and laughed, "Then I'll wait and see what this piece of junk I sold looks like when it comes back to life."

After saying goodbye to Anuo, she went to have dinner with her teammates.

Caesar and the others placed the parts one by one in front of Anno, who then gestured with his chin towards them, "Let's get started."

The Zerg's spacecraft are very different from those in other star systems. Zerg warships are either powered by energy stones or are biological warships.

Caesar and his contemporaries were familiar with spacecraft in other star systems, but they did not fully understand their internal structures.

But with the consciousness network in place, Anno can connect with their consciousness and directly impart his knowledge of aircraft to them—simple and direct.

As high-ranking dependents, Caesar and his companions absorbed and processed the knowledge transmitted through consciousness very quickly. Anno barely had to lift a finger; she simply followed her ideas and modified the aircraft into the shape she desired.

They hardly needed any tools; they disassembled and reassembled the aircraft parts by hand.

Anno watched from the sidelines, making adjustments from time to time.

Karina activated the drawing mode on the quantum computer, and together they redesigned the shape of the aircraft.

It still follows the flame pattern design that Locke likes, only making some minor adjustments to the original appearance.

Anno drew a sketch, and Karina quickly helped to polish and fill in the details, with astonishing efficiency.

The final rendering was exactly what she wanted, without any further modifications.

She was surprised to find that her second sister was exceptionally bright; her fingers moved rapidly across the projected screen, making virtually no mistakes or corrections.

Before, when Karina lived with Logan and the others, she would only come back for a day or two at most. When they were together, Karina would take her out to play.

She knew Karina was a good student, but she was only now witnessing firsthand just how capable she was.

"Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Karina's voice pulled Anno back to reality.

Looking at the completed design drawings, Anuo said with satisfaction, "This is very good. Second sister, you drew it so well."

She's not actually very good at drawing; at most, she draws various design sketches of vehicles, which are rather simple and formulaic.

Karina's drawing is clearly much better than hers.

Karina said, "Drawing this isn't difficult. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Anno smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing Anno and Karina sitting together, the subordinates couldn't help but increase the intensity of their disassembly of parts. The parts that fell from Caesar's hands all had a handprint indentation.

"Your Highness, would you like to test its performance? If it's not good, I'll go and get another one."

Upon hearing Caesar's voice, Anno got up and walked towards him.

Karina looked at him too, her gaze meeting Caesar's.

Their eyes were both indifferent, as if they didn't consider each other human.

However, Caesar always managed to hide his emotions very well, while Karina was completely indifferent.

At most, they felt that their presence around Anno was somewhat superfluous and annoying.

It was just like the annoyance she felt when she was in school, when several people would occasionally pop up around her trying to get close to her.

She disliked interacting with people, as if she had drawn a boundary around herself, within which she included Anno and excluded everyone else.

Apart from her family, everyone else is unimportant and unnecessary for her to care about.

After replacing the basic components, Anno would personally test the performance and make some adjustments.

"To pursue even greater speeds, we can refer to the acceleration effects of fighter jets. The acceleration components of modern aircraft are the same as some components of fighter jets. With just some basic adjustments, we can achieve the same power as fighter jets."

After listening to Karina's suggestion, Anno invited her to come up with him and take a test flight together.

The aircraft participating in the competition cannot carry too many people, as this would affect their speed.

Caesar and the others were thus driven off by Anno, and could only watch helplessly as Anno carried Karina away.

Anno learned his flying skills at the front-line base, and he is still a bit behind the professionals who participated in the competition.

However, it was enough for the test flight. The co-pilot also had control, and Karina would occasionally help her adjust the angle without interfering with her piloting.

It is now evening, and the setting sun shines on this plain of flowers, making it look as beautiful as a fine painting.

Anno initially flew very steadily, but as she looked at the vast plain, her restless and warlike nature kicked in, and she couldn't help but accelerate, flying faster and faster, overtaking one after another the aircraft that were testing on the track. Her speed was so fast that it drew everyone's attention.

"Which team's aircraft is that? It's flying so fast!"

"A new machine? It doesn't look painted yet, it must be a modified machine."

"This speed is insane. Without considering stability, the obstacle course and curves tomorrow are going to be a complete mess."

"It is indeed too fast, it looks even more powerful than the Asuka Squadron's aircraft."

"......"

The people at the test flight track outside were discussing it animatedly, but what they didn't know was that these were just the standard aircraft parts added by Anno, and hadn't yet been adjusted according to the fighter jet's speed mode as Karina had said.

At this point, Anno had already reached her maximum speed, and on the track, only the afterimage of her aircraft could be seen.

Now Anno knows why those participants love flying so much; it's truly thrilling and exhilarating.

Her flight without any deceleration is extremely dangerous, and she could collide with other aircraft at any time.

Karina didn't try to stop her, but instead carefully observed the surrounding road conditions, kept a close eye on the control panel, and adjusted the speed for her as needed.

She turned to look at Anuo's profile and sensed her happiness; her indifferent gaze softened unconsciously.

Anuo seemed to sense her gaze, turned her head to look at her, and smiled, "Second sister, next time I want to try out a fighter jet. If the speed of an aircraft is this fast, the speed of a fighter jet must be even faster."

Karina said, "The speed of fighter jets in space is incomparable to that of aircraft. If it is improved, the speed will be even faster."

As they were talking, several aircraft flew past them, almost colliding with them.

Anno had been flying in straight lines and sharp curves, which wasn't difficult for her flying skills. But dodging at small angles like this required a lot of skill. The other aircraft were also going very fast. She was startled and about to take control when she heard Karina's calm voice in her ear, "I'll take over."

She immediately released her hands from the console, handing control over to Karina.

The aircraft passed between the other aircraft at a tricky angle, almost brushing past one of them, giving that aircraft quite a fright.

The aircraft all stopped and looked at Anno and her group's aircraft.

They were all from the Flying Bird team, and they were originally doing test flights and training on the track when they saw how fast the aircraft was, which aroused their curiosity.

Putting aside the other performance aspects of this aircraft, its speed is already surpassing theirs.

They had just flown from a distance, thinking the aircraft would change course to avoid it, but they didn't expect it to only swerve when it was about to collide with them.

They had to dodge it, otherwise at that speed, both of them would definitely end up in the hospital.

Judging from the angle at which the aircraft dodged, its flying skills were top-notch, making them even more curious about the aircraft's owner.

Karina didn't even glance at them, and flew straight to the sea with Anno.

Anno watched Karina leave the track, then turned to her and asked, "Second sister, where are we going?"

"I'll take you out to eat."

When she mentioned it, Anuo actually felt a bit hungry.

She touched the energy stone around her neck. With the energy stone, she could continuously provide her body with the energy and nutrients it needed, but she preferred to eat real food.
