"Mr. Xia, we have arrived at our destination."
Switching the spacecraft to suspension mode, Walter asked Xia Yu for instructions on the next step.
The terrain of Kana Island was fully presented in the 3D projection of the spacecraft, and he felt that the most suitable landing place was the runway.
"Descend, the dock is underwater."
"Mr. Xia, the Prometheus doesn't have an underwater navigation mode."
Walter said with some embarrassment.
"Just descend. The water can't get in."
Xia Yu waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine. He had just renewed the Aquaman buff, so he spoke in a firm tone.
"Yes, Mr. Xia!"
Walter did as he was told and maneuvered the spacecraft down to the sea surface. The high-speed ion stream ejected from the engine broke through the calm sea surface, and the hull slowly disappeared below the sea level.
A huge bubble covered the entire hull except the engine nozzle. Xia Yu took over the control of the spacecraft and headed towards the underwater entrance of the hive base.
Fat Tiger, who was sleeping in the sea, was startled by the noise, and then he discovered the huge creature in front of him.
"Buzz~~"
The gate of the underwater entrance was opened, and the underground hall was wide enough to accommodate two Typhoon-class submarines docked side by side, and there was still enough space for the Prometheus to move around.
Walter, who was watching the whole process, almost crashed. This is unscientific!
The engine was shut down, and Xia Yu took him out of the spaceship and introduced him to the hive base.
"This base is located deep underground. It is connected to Kana Island by a large elevator. There is also an underwater passage that allows submarines to enter and exit."
"I originally planned to use this hall to store submarines, but I'll temporarily use it as a dock for the Prometheus. Let's head to the side."
The two came to the train platform and took the high-speed train to continue going deeper underground. Soon the main body of the hive base appeared in front of them.
"The first floor is the living area, the second floor is the research area, and the third floor is the processing center. The remaining floors are not open yet. Your mission is to be stationed here. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me. My terminal is directly connected to the satellite. As long as there is no severe interference, there is a signal in every corner of the earth."
Xia Yu raised his mobile phone and gave Walter a new one, and he quickly adapted to the operation.
Similarly, he will quickly adapt to life here.
"Then I'll go up first, and I'll come down to see you tomorrow."
Xia Yu opened up the secondary authority of the base for Walter, and prepared to return to the ground. The base only had nutrient solution, and the artificial meat workshop and soilless cultivation factory were both sealed, unlike the island where there was wine and meat.
"Yes, Mr. Xia!"
Watching Xia Yu step into the magnificent Amber Room, Walter turned and left. He felt that there were a lot of things to do, and the processor was confirming the processing priority one by one.
“Ding~~”
The elevator door opened and we arrived at the basement of the main castle. We took another elevator to the master bedroom on the second floor. Xia Yu's sudden appearance surprised the maids.
There was no plane landing and no cruise ship docking. There was only one answer: the Master came by submarine.
They came up with a reasonable idea, but they didn't know that Xia Yu came here on a spaceship. The maximum speed of a submarine is only forty or fifty knots, how can it be compared with a spaceship!
"I'm starving, go prepare dinner for me."
After receiving Xia Yu's order, the maids who were preparing to go to bed got busy again and prepared a sumptuous dinner for him.
He went to sleep right after eating. He was very tired today, and when he opened his eyes again it was already the next morning.
It was still dark here in China, and Xia Yu planned to stay on the island for two days before leaving. He had already figured out how to leave.
When we arrived at the Industrial Museum next door, we found that the originally empty third floor had many new members, including the Mustang P-51, Fw-190, and Spitfire in the distance, and the MiG-29 and MiG-31 nearby.
Two years ago, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, passed away due to illness. His aircraft heritage and combat armor museum began to auction his heritage last year. Xia Yu also took this opportunity to buy a lot of aircraft at a low price to enrich the collection of his industrial museum.
This two-seater MiG-29UB was bought at that time. Xia Yu prefers two-seater models because he can fly into the sky with the people he likes or cares about, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
The same is true with the Prometheus. As a nostalgic person, even though he has the most modern supercar, he still collects classic cars. This is a mark left by the times, and classics never go out of style.
However, the MiG-29, which has the nickname of Fulcrum, also has the nickname of Airport Defender. This aircraft is not suitable for driving back. Xia Yu's choice is the MiG-31, which is also the successor model of the powerful MiG-25.
In high-altitude airspace, the fastest speed can reach Mach 2.83. Even if it cannot be sustained, it is enough to return to the Magic City within half a day.
After making all preparations and staying on the island for another day, Xia Yu arrived at the airport in a MiG-31 on the morning of December 16.
A refueling truck modified from a Mercedes-Benz heavy truck also arrived at the airport from the port to refuel the aircraft, fill it up and leave in preparation for takeoff.
"Buzz~~"
With twin engines emitting tail flames, Xia Yu piloted the MiG-31 into the sky, rapidly flying towards China.
In pursuit of high speed and high ceiling, the MiG-31 sacrificed a lot of maneuverability and there were few buyers in the international market. However, Xia Yu did not drive it to dogfight with anyone. He bought it just for transportation.
With the afterburner half-open, the speed at which the fuel gauge drops is visible to the naked eye. After all, it is not a supersonic cruise fighter, and the engine's thrust-to-weight ratio is still a bit low. The fuel consumption at supersonic speed is extremely high.
It doesn’t matter. After the 16 tons of internal fuel are burned, there are still 160 tons of storage space, which is enough for several round trips.
