The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 704 Test Flight of Yangshan No. 1

"Mr. Liang, you've arrived."

Li Hanzhong immediately came forward and smiled at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan asked, "How are the preparations going?"

"Everything is ready and we are ready to test fly at any time."

How are the test pilots doing?

"Both their physical and mental qualities have been tested and are outstanding."

“I mean their families, and their needs,” Liang Yuan asked solemnly.

"Everything has been arranged."

Liang Yuan walked towards Xu Huang and the others. Li Hanzhong said to everyone, "Everyone, this is our leader of Yangshan, Mr. Liang Yuan."

Xu Huang and the others quickly greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Liang!"

Good morning, Mr. Liang!

……

Liang Yuan nodded to everyone, and Li Hanzhong introduced each of the pilots to him.

"This is Fei Kang, the most quick-witted of the pilots. He is a psychic with a strong sense of crisis and can give early warnings. He also has a super intuitive ability."

"He will serve as the captain for this flight, overseeing the overall flight path of the spacecraft. Hopefully, his intuitive warnings will be of great help."

Liang Yuan looked at him and smiled, "Hello, Comrade Fei Kang, welcome to Yangshan. We are also very grateful that you trust our Yangshan R&D Department and volunteer to participate in this test flight mission."

Fei Kang quickly said, "I should thank Mr. Liang and the Yangshan R&D Department for giving me this opportunity."

"You don't know, there are countless people with superpowers like me out there. I really cherish this opportunity."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "I heard you have a wife and children?"

"Ah."

"Is everything settled in?"

"Everything is settled. The R&D department's bonus has been distributed, and they are now residents of the Yangshan shelter."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said to Li Hanzhong, "Regardless of how well this test flight mission is completed, their families should be given the highest level of treatment as the families of patrol team members."

"Okay, I'll have someone notify the logistics department later."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, and then got to know the other people.

When he arrived in front of Xu Huang, Xu Huang took a deep breath and said, "Hello, Mr. Liang, I am Xu Huang."

Li Hanzhong explained, "He is a fire-attribute ability user, a rare ability even in Yangshan."

"He has a strong will and perseverance, and he is very efficient in execution. He is in charge of the spaceship's attack and defense systems."

Liang Yuan nodded and asked Xu Huang, "Hello, is everyone at home settled?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liang. Everything has been settled." Xu Huang forced a smile.

Liang Yuan said, "If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to bring them up immediately. No matter what the outcome of this mission is, Yangshan Refuge will take full responsibility for your families."

Xu Huang said, "With your words, I, Xu Huang, am completely satisfied. Mr. Liang, Professor Li, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best this time."

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late. Let's prepare to board the ship according to the plan."

After chatting for a while, Li Hanzhong spoke to Xu Huang and the others.

Everyone looked serious, and then entered the Yangshan-1 spaceship in turn.

Following their usual training, Xu Huang and the others each performed their duties and found their places.

Liang Yuan and the others also entered the conference room and looked at the central control screen.

Li Hanzhong picked up the microphone and said, "Yangshan No. 1, entering self-test procedure."

"This is Yangshan No. 1. The self-inspection process has been initiated," Fei Kang replied quickly.

Immediately following was the sound of electricity starting up.

"The defense system has started normally."

"The attack system has started normally."

"Power system normal!"

"Escape pod system functioning normally!"

"Gas is being purged and the hatch is being sealed."

"Air pressure is stable, energy supply is normal."

……

With all systems activated, the self-test program quickly completed the spacecraft's self-test.

With everything ready, Fei Kang and Xu Huang looked at each other, then exchanged glances with the others.

Everyone nodded.

Fei Kang took a deep breath and said, "Tower, tower, this is Yangshan-1. The self-check procedures are all normal. We are now requesting a test flight!"

A moment later, Li Hanzhong's voice came through: "Test flight approved!"

Fei Kang reached out and pressed the start button.

A buzzing, vibrating sound rang out.

In an instant, the power system started operating rapidly, and then a high-intensity airflow was rapidly ejected from the exhaust port.

The entire Yangshan No. 1 began to rapidly take off.

Six pillars of fire-like energy shot out from below, making its flight extremely stable.

As the energy jet devices on the wings were activated, the entire spaceship instantly soared into the sky above Yangshan Mountain!

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and the spaceship passed them by as it traveled in the opposite direction.

Fei Kang, Xu Huang, and the others stared at the thick, dark clouds with unwavering resolve, and none of them uttered a word.

In the conference room of Yangshan R&D Department, everyone was looking at the large screen, which displayed signals transmitted from the cameras connected to the spacecraft.

Liang Yuan asked, "Aren't radio signals susceptible to interference? How is signal transmission achieved?"

Li Hanzhong explained from the side, "The existence of supernatural energy can indeed interfere with radio signals."

"It's not affected at short distances, but once it exceeds ten kilometers, there will be a huge signal difference." "However, we discovered a new type of rune on the armored vehicles of the Sprout Organization. We call it the [Filter Rune]. This rune can filter out a large amount of supernatural energy and maintain signal transmission at a special frequency."

"The signal transmission device on the armored vehicle uses this kind of filtering rune technology."

"After we disassembled it, we used it on the spacecraft. It can not only transmit signals over long distances, but after our professionals debugged it, it can even achieve long-distance visual signal imaging."

That's why we have remote video signals now.

Liang Yuan listened with a ambiguity; this knowledge was naturally beyond his comprehension.

However, leave professional matters to professionals.

He didn't need to understand the principles behind everything; he simply smiled and said, "You guys really know how to do things."

Li Hanzhong smiled and said, "This isn't some very difficult technology. The main thing is those few key runes. The video signal technology is still the same as before the apocalypse."

"As long as we can overcome the influence of the supernatural energy field, many pre-apocalyptic technologies can actually be used."

"Our people are already studying how to rebuild the local area network. I'm afraid that in the near future, we will be able to access the internet again within our Yangshan sphere of influence."

"Those electronic devices you collected back then, like tablets and mobile phones, might be usable again."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Really? Doesn't that require satellite signal transmission?"

Li Hanzhong laughed and said, "It's just a local area network, nothing that complicated."

Seeing how simply he spoke, Liang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

If the internet can be restored, then humanity's technological advancements could indeed advance rapidly.

We're about to enter the clouds!

Suddenly, Ren Jie spoke up to remind him.

Everyone was startled and immediately looked at the big screen.

Fu Qibo, who was standing nearby, said, "We're about to test our spaceship's resistance to electric shock."

"I wonder if the energy shield combined with the feather-covered body can withstand such a high-intensity thunderstorm."

As the screen drew closer to the clouds, terrifying bolts of lightning seemed to explode right before everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, the screen flickered and a large number of dense snowflakes appeared.

The staff immediately shouted, "We've lost video signal!"

"What about the communication signal?" Li Hanzhong asked immediately.

"Yangshan No. 1, Yangshan No. 1, this is the control tower, this is the control tower, please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me!"

The liaison officer quickly began contacting Yangshan No. 1.

However, all that could be heard from the microphone was a series of static sounds.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Liang Yuan frowned and looked at Li Hanzhong.

Li Hanzhong said, "I'm afraid the magnetic field inside the thundercloud is too strong, which strongly interferes with signal transmission."

"So what do we say now?" Liang Yuan asked.

Li Hanzhong glanced at Shen Yunxi in the distance and said, "Check the test pilot's vital signs."

Shen Yunxi nodded quickly, made a few gestures on the computer screen in front of her, and then immediately said, "Xu Fei and Fei Kang's heart rates have both increased to over 150."

"Jiang Hui and Wu Zhengyu both experienced arrhythmia and elevated blood pressure, but these conditions are still within a controllable range."

"Xu Huang's physical data are all normal."

Li Hanzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems they're alright. Xu Huang's mental fortitude is truly impressive."

Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "You also have their real-time physical data?"

Li Hanzhong laughed and said, "This is a purely supernatural ability. Let me explain it to you."

He pointed to a middle-aged woman not far away and said with a smile, "She is a new recruit discovered by the medical department, named Cao Xianghua. Her awakened ability is bloodline sensing."

"As long as she obtains a drop of the other person's blood, she can effectively sense the other person's physical data. This process can continue until the cells in the blood lose their activity."

"She is now in the medical department, in charge of blood testing. She is Dr. Yang's right-hand woman."

The woman named Cao Xianghua looked this way, her gaze towards Liang Yuan filled with reverence, fervor, and gratitude.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded at the other party, secretly marveling at how, as the Yangshan Refuge grew larger, more and more talented people sought refuge there.

All sorts of strange and wonderful superpowers have emerged, shining brightly in various places.

This woman's special abilities would undoubtedly make her perfectly suited for working in the medical department.

Liang Yuan asked, "Did she join Yangshan later?"

Li Hanzhong shook his head and said, "They are survivors from the Sunshine New City area. You personally rescued those women and children, and many of them have now awakened supernatural abilities."

Liang Yuan nodded in realization; no wonder Cao Xianghua looked at him like that.

"I wonder what the situation is like on the spaceship right now," Li Hanzhong said, looking at the sky outside the window with some concern.

Ren Jie said, "Old Li, you have to have confidence in our design!"

Fu Qibo also said, "Yes, our spaceship has undergone internal lightning strike resistance testing, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Time passed slowly, about ten minutes in total.

Suddenly, the screen, which had been filled with static, started to move and a picture appeared!
"There's a signal!"

The staff immediately shouted excitedly.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see a clear blue sky in the picture.

The golden sunlight in the sky was extremely dazzling.

Huge floating islands drift in and out of sight.

Clouds and mist flowed among the floating islands and mountains, and in the sky, a huge Milky Way stretched across the sky like a hanging river, from which a large amount of water poured down!

As these waters fall, they either crash onto the floating islands, transforming into waterfalls and springs, evaporating into clouds and mist, or simply merging into the endless dark clouds.

Terrifying behemoths whose names were unknown flew and darted through the air.

Some came in groups, while others were alone.

Without exception, they are all enormous, with the smallest being ten or twenty meters long!
Even through the screen, everyone in the R&D department could feel their terrifying pressure.
