125: Chapter 125 Mastery of High-Altitude Driving!
"This is the third-generation White Bear Fighter from our Russia; it's equipped with anti-tank missiles, air-to-air missiles, and other high-altitude combat weapons."
The guide even went as far as to open the cockpit, allowing Shen Zhou and his companion to see the interior decor.
Most of the interior of the cockpit was encased in a special alloy.
This gave the helicopter a bit more of a rugged atmosphere.
"Quite nice. How much does this thing cost?"
Shen Zhou nodded with a smile.
The guide beside him was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and said:
"The selling price for this fighter is 25 million US dollars. Since it's the latest model, there's a discount if you order in batches."
Hearing this, Shen Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems buying a helicopter is about the same as buying a designer bag."
Thinking this to himself, Shen Zhou quickly took out a bank card and handed it over.
"I'll order one for now."
It wasn't easy to encounter a big toy he liked, and now that he had the means, he might as well take it for himself.
Even if he couldn't fly it inside China, he could keep the thing abroad and take it for a few spins when he had time.
After all, what man could refuse a real weapon of mass destruction like this?
After successfully completing the order, the smile on the guide's face became much brighter.
"Mr. Shen, would you two like to go up and experience it? We have a pilot arranged here."
The guide became even more enthusiastic, waving over a fully armed pilot who had been prepared long ago.
"Can we experience it on-site?"
Shen Zhou asked with some surprise.
"Of course, after all, the customer is our God."
"And if Mr. Shen has the need, we can also provide professional flight training for you."
"We guarantee you'll be able to successfully handle it within a month."
The guide said with great confidence.
"I'll pass on the piloting, but an experience is fine."
Shen Zhou said without hesitation.
This thing was meant to fly into the sky; if he crashed due to a momentary piloting error, no amount of money would matter.
Professional matters should be left to the professionals!
Of course, if there was enough time for training in the future, that would be another story.
However, just then, the system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding!]
[Every man has once fantasized about turning into a bird and soaring above the sky.]
[As the saying goes, a man who can fly is truly a rare specimen. Congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing the White Bear Generation 3 Armed Helicopter. Task Reward: High-Altitude Piloting Mastery!]
[Reward Description: Every man should possess his own unique skills. Skilful high-altitude piloting ability can give the host a more captivating charm.]
The moment he accepted the reward, a stream of information surged into Shen Zhou's brain.
He looked up at the helicopter before him again, and a sudden, inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
Even looking around, he found that he was very familiar with other models of helicopters as well.
"Let's go, let's experience it together."
Shen Zhou took Juliana and followed the staff into the professional grounds.
After the two of them put on professional flight gear, they followed a seasoned pilot into the cockpit.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. I am your flight instructor for today, Shrek. Do you need me to briefly explain the functions of the buttons in the cockpit?"
A middle-aged Caucasian man said very politely.
"If you wouldn't mind."
Shen Zhou nodded slightly.
Shrek immediately began to carefully introduce the function of every button.
Some of the buttons included emergency escape, semi-automatic piloting, satellite calling, and so on.
What made Shen Zhou quite at ease was that whenever Shrek pointed to a button, the corresponding information would surface in his mind instantly.
It was as if he had already been piloting this armed helicopter for over ten years.
"Why do I feel like this thing is an extension of my own arm!"
Shen Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He even felt an impulse to pilot the thing and take off right now.
But he forcibly suppressed it.
Shrek explained things to the two of them for nearly twenty minutes.
He even placed special emphasis on explaining the use of the emergency escape device to them.
Shen Zhou was very satisfied with this fellow and immediately took out a check, giving him a ten-thousand-dollar tip.
"Rest assured, Mr. Shen, my flight experience is very extensive. We will land safely."
Having received the check, Shrek became even more enthusiastic.
"Let's go, Shrek, let's enjoy the feeling of high altitude."
Shen Zhou patted the man's shoulder.
Shrek nodded heavily, and after personally checking the gear on Shen Zhou and Juliana...
Vroom!!
Accompanied by a heavy sound, the White Bear Generation 3 Armed Helicopter began to slowly lift off.
A large amount of smoke and dust followed from below.
"Calling Eagle's Nest, white bear No. 3 has taken off successfully."
"Eagle's Nest copies, wishing you a safe return."
Once in piloting mode, the expression on Shrek's face became much calmer; he even maintained contact with the ground command center via radar.
After reaching high altitude, the helicopter arrived at a prepared, wide-open area. Shrek suddenly said:
"Mr. Shen, would you like to try the white bear's ground strike capabilities?"
"Of course, show it off to your heart's content."
Shen Zhou became somewhat excited.
"Alright, Mr. Shen, next I will demonstrate the anti-aircraft gun for you."
As soon as Shrek finished speaking, he immediately flipped a red button.
Buzz!
Under the control of an electric door, a small firing port opened on the helicopter.
Then, a series of tongues of fire spat out from the firing port.
A massive amount of bullets poured down like fire toward the ground below.
A bright ground target was instantly blown to pieces.
Juliana even took out her phone to record this shocking scene.
Even Shen Zhou stared unblinkingly.
A large amount of gunpowder smoke on the ground appeared along with the rat-tat-tat sound.
Not to mention the target just now, even the ground where the target was located became a mess.
With Shen Zhou's consent, Shrek specifically tested other ground strike devices.
Juliana recorded the whole process, and finally, the group landed back at the starting point, fully satisfied.
Shen Zhou led Juliana out of the cockpit and said:
"How was it? This helicopter is pretty good, right?"
"It was simply amazing! Next time I'll show the photos and videos I took to my best friends; they'll definitely be so envious of me!"
Juliana held Shen Zhou's arm tightly, her magnificent curves pressing against him constantly.
"Hahaha, I hope you get your wish."
"Let's go, we'll go check out the tanks next."
The two of them arrived at the tank exhibition area together.
