Chapter 111: Tit for Tat, Da Xia Raises the Stakes! If You Can't Take It, Just Copy It!

Without a doubt.

The idea of finding pilots from Da Xia to fly the B-2 Bomber and F22 was completely unrealistic.

Not to mention that pilots within Da Xia had no exposure to these types of aircraft, nor any means of learning.

Even if there were flight crews who could attempt it, if any accident occurred during the flight, damaging these two aircraft so kindly provided by the Mysterious Organization, who could bear that responsibility?

This was not just about how to explain it to the entire Da Xia, but more importantly, how to face the Mysterious Organization.

Therefore, this plan was directly shelved by the group.

As for disassembling them? Don't even think about it. Who the hell has the ability to disassemble them and then put them back together properly?

Even with the B-2 Bomber, which has been out of production for many years, even the Eagle Country itself wouldn't be confident in reassembling it successfully.

"This is going to be difficult," Song Qinyi said with a troubled expression, pacing back and forth on the ground. "We must come up with a comprehensive plan to ensure absolute foolproofness."

They needed to safely transport them out of this desolate Gobi Desert under absolute secrecy.

After all, once the news of Da Xia acquiring the F22 and B-2 'Ghost' Bomber leaked, the Eagle Country would definitely go completely insane.

While it wouldn't escalate to a full-scale hot war, even a more severe, all-encompassing blockade would be a major blow to Da Xia, which is currently in urgent need of manufacturing transformation.

However, despite this, Song Qinyi himself was muttering internally.

'How should I transport this thing out?'

'Take a remote route? Inappropriate. Air transport then? Da Xia doesn't have transport planes with that kind of carrying capacity.'

It should be known that an F22 is not as 'mini' as many people imagine.

It is a behemoth with a length of 18 meters and a wingspan of over 13 meters, standing as tall as a 6-story residential building.

To transport something like this, large transport vehicles would be required.

As for that terrifying beast with a wingspan of over fifty meters and a length of over 21 meters, it would require specialized heavy-duty transport vehicles to safely move it.

Just as everyone was fretting, Jiang Dingqian's eyes suddenly lit up. "I have a good idea. What do you all think?"

"Stop playing games with me, Jiang Dingqian. If you have something to say, say it now." Zheng Lixing glared at him. At such an urgent moment, what was he talking about, 'what do you all think'?

Hearing this, Jiang Dingqian didn't get angry. He always knew Zheng Lixing's quick temper.

Meeting their gazes, he said word by word, "Why do we have to think about transporting these two planes out?"

"Isn't the Northwest a perfectly good place?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuli immediately understood his meaning. "You mean, establish a research base right here?"

"Exactly." Jiang Dingqian nodded.

Since land transport was not secure or safe enough, and Da Xia lacked the capability for air transport, the best solution was to simply not transport them at all.

They would directly establish an aviation aircraft research center on site, using the two planes as a foundation.

There would be no need to worry about leaks due to transportation; they would only need to implement various secrecy and concealment measures in place.

They could even directly seal them with a protective cover over ten meters thick, to be removed after construction was complete.

"That's a great idea! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Zheng Lixing immediately nodded in agreement. "The Gobi Desert here is also an excellent location for an aviation base."

Most of the Eagle Country's inland Air Force bases are also located in various remote desert areas.

After all, such places are dry enough and less likely to encounter rare rain or snow, which is more beneficial for aircraft maintenance.

Furthermore, Jiuquan, a few hundred kilometers from Yumen Pass, already serves as Da Xia's most important aerospace launch center.

Building an Air Force research base here is completely reasonable.

This point also received Zhang Yuli's approval, but he still frowned. "Building a research base in the Northwest Gobi Desert is fine."

"But this location won't do. We need to choose a different location."

Not to mention that this location is only a little over a hundred kilometers from the Mongolia border, the distance to the Yumen Pass ruins scenic area alone is too close.

And more importantly, the Mysterious Organization's reward has been sitting nearby all this time.

Considering these two points, the base's location must maintain an appropriate distance from both.

"That's not a problem. We can choose a location tens or even hundreds of kilometers away." Jiang Dingqian didn't argue, but continued, "The entire Northwest Gobi Desert is basically uninhabited, so transportation here won't be a major issue."

In this uninhabited, 'no man's land' area, at least there's no need to worry about being detected during transport.

There's even less need to worry about curious onlookers with phones live-streaming the entire transport process online.

At worst, during transport, they could activate powerful electromagnetic interference, effectively 'blinding' even satellites in the surrounding area.

"Let's go with what Jiang Dingqian said. I'll report it to the Highest Special Secret Group later." Zhang Yuli, as the leader of the Highest Special Secret Group, made the decision on the spot.

"Also, one more thing: since we're talking about tit for tat."

"Then, since the Mysterious Organization has given Da Xia two gifts this time, we should also give a corresponding return gift."

"You all should think carefully later about what this 'return gift' should be, and it should preferably be grand."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

This point indeed needed careful planning.

Whether the Mysterious Organization needed this return gift or not, Da Xia should still give it.

After all, whether others want it is their business; if you don't give it, that's clearly your problem.

Such sensitive issues that could harm the relationship between the two parties naturally could not be taken lightly.

Time passed slowly.

Tourists at the Yumen Pass scenic area were clearly unaware of the huge changes happening dozens of kilometers away.

Only occasionally would someone notice that there seemed to be an unusually large number of large vehicles commuting on this national highway recently, with various engineering teams, transport convoys, and even occasionally some vehicles marked 'Northwest Military Region' speeding past.

But this slight anomaly wouldn't cause much of a stir, and as tourists, who would care about local traffic volume?

Da Xia, after disguising the exterior of the two aircraft and even adding a lot of extra foam to the outside, only dared to let transport vehicles move them after they were packaged in a way that only allowed people to roughly distinguish them as long, flat objects.

Firstly, they were concerned that even with everyone signing 'top secret' confidentiality agreements, there might be some minuscule leakage issues with the transport convoy.

Secondly, and most importantly, it was to prevent people who might accidentally stray into this 'no man's land' from seeing something they shouldn't.

To avoid these unnecessary troubles, all these measures were absolutely necessary.

Two days later, today was Lucy and Lu Ze's last day at Yumen Pass.

'Da Xia's side had already completely withdrawn yesterday.'

'It's time to go collect my 5 billion usd reward.'

Lu Ze glanced at the clock.

It was now eleven o'clock at night, the perfect time for him to act.

Using the same method as last time, after avoiding all surveillance equipment.

Using the Glamour Mask and a voice changer, he stepped out of the hotel entrance and headed straight for the 'no man's land' dozens of kilometers away.

After three in the morning.

North of Yumen Pass, in a desolate Gobi Desert tens of kilometers away.

Lu Ze noticed the familiar surroundings and landmarks, and his rapidly running footsteps paused.

He had finally reached his destination.

He took out the 'Delicious and Good-Tasting Bread' from his item system slot and took a few bites, feeling his physical strength slowly recovering.

This was a 'key point' he had accidentally discovered two days ago when he had the Weakness BUFF.

That is, the 'Delicious and Good-Tasting Bread' obtained from the system lottery was not just delicious and good-tasting; its extremely strong satiating effect, when used while Lu Ze's stamina was rapidly depleting.

Would restore a lot of his stamina in a short time, just like a 'blue potion' in a game restoring one's status.

However, it could at most restore him to 70% of his normal state, and after two or three repeated uses at most, no matter how much more of this bread he ate, his body would still fall into a weakened state.

He glanced at a large truck parked in the distance; it hadn't moved at all in two days.

'It seems no one dares to steal anything here.' Lu Ze's lips curved slightly.

He was actually secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of 'desperate criminal' would dare to steal something like this.

This was beyond being tired of living; this was probably not even wanting one's family tree anymore, right?

'I'll just collect these funds.'

Lu Ze walked over to a large truck and lightly touched its exterior with his hand.

He silently counted five seconds in his mind.

[543.]

Instantly, a message popped up on the light screen in front of him.

[Current Tech Item: Jiefang Heavy-Duty Truck.]

[Value Achievement Points: 300.]

[Do you want to copy it?]

'Confirm copy.' Lu Ze thought.

He wasn't surprised that the achievement points were only three hundred; for an old heavy truck like this, 300 points was already quite remarkable in the system's judgment.

[Ding! Jiefang Heavy-Duty Truck copied successfully!]

[Reward: 300 Achievement Points, Jiefang Heavy-Duty Truck physical item, complete set of Jiefang Heavy-Duty Truck technical design blueprints, Gold Technology (currently not copyable).]

[Carried items: Gold * 100 tons...]

[Since the ownership of the current item belongs to the host, do you want to store it together?]
