Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 279 Fuel Arrived
After receiving He Shuo's report, Chen Jian quickly issued an order to evacuate Jinling City.

Although there is not enough evidence to prove that Zhang Tao might have turned against the Huaxia Army before the war began, Chen Jian believes in He Shuo's judgment.

If he has clearly sensed that the movements of the Mechanicus are heading in an uncontrollable direction, then keeping distance and avoiding contact as much as possible is the last option when facing a powerful enemy.

However, this evacuation also made Chen Jian completely lose confidence in the Mechanicus.

He originally thought that by supporting a relatively trustworthy leader to come to power, he could change the situation of the Mechanicus and gradually "transform" and "purify" it, but it was obvious that the inertia of religion was still too strong.

The conspiracy of an ambitious person can never be extinguished by metaphysical theories, but can only be washed away by real fire.

It seems that after dealing with the beast tide crisis, the next step for the Chinese Army is to use force to take back the territory and population controlled by the Mechanicus and completely eradicate the poisonous sores that emit toxins.

This is bound to be a difficult task.

But in this wasteland, what is easy?
-
The good news is that Jiang Yu successfully completed her task.

Next to the airport of Base 011, Chen Jian quietly watched Jiang Yu land the bomber with not-so-skilled movements.

After she climbed out of the plane, ground crew members who had received brief training immediately came over and began to dismantle the cargo on the plane.

He followed Lei Jie in the direction of Jiang Yu, who ran for a distance, then stood at attention and saluted, speaking in a loud voice:

"Report to the commander! I have completed the transportation mission! Please give instructions!"

"Very good, hard work."

Lei Jie nodded perfunctorily, then immediately ran to the plane to check the rocket fuel that Jiang Yu brought back, while Chen Jian stayed where he was and said to Jiang Yu:

"Relax, this trip was tough."

"How's it going? Did it go well?"

"very smooth!"

An excited smile appeared on Jiang Yu's face. She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

How to describe this flight across a thousand kilometers?

If in the previous missions she was just mechanically following Fuxi's instructions to carry out bombings on fixed targets, and even if she was personally controlling the plane, she still had an illusion of being "restricted", then in this mission, she was really isolated and helpless.

But it was this kind of isolation and helplessness that made her experience an unprecedented sense of "control".

Although the flight route was basically within the coverage of the cellular network, she had to increase the flight altitude in order to pursue a higher range.

Once the flight altitude increases, it means losing contact with the rear base.

At first, when Fuxi's voice disappeared in the headphones for the first time, she felt unprecedented fear.

But soon, the feeling of fear was completely dispelled by the magnificent view thousands of meters above the sky.

Those mountains, those rivers, those human settlements that are like ant nests
She had never seen the world she lived in from such a perspective.

The extremely long distance made her feel inexplicably detached, but soon she felt an unprecedented "reality".

This world is beautiful and it shouldn't be occupied by monsters.

The world is before our eyes, and humans are its masters.

The moment this thought came to his mind, Jiang Yu suddenly understood what the Chinese army was doing.

She had thought that even though the Chinese Army was far more noble than the other forces in the wasteland, it was essentially just a more powerful team.

But now, she completely understood.

The difference between the Chinese Army and other forces lies not in strength or weakness, but in their view of the world.

They always think that they are the masters.

They also always believe that as masters, they have a responsibility to the world.

At this moment, everything that she had not been able to understand was explained.

All the motives that seemed unreasonable to her became logical.

The so-called "integration" often happens in an instant, and even she herself can clearly feel this process.——
In contrast, the process of executing the task becomes less important.

".I flew over Changshan, landed at the designated temporary airport, and used the power generation equipment provided by the Circle Chamber of Commerce to recharge the power supply." "After the recharge, I took off again and the return trip was smooth."

"However, after loading the cargo, the aircraft's range was shortened."

"When we landed, the battery was only at the last 2%, which was very dangerous."

"But realistically, if we can jettison depleted batteries mid-flight, we could add at least 200 kilometers to our range by reducing weight."

"Captain, we should consider adding this design to the next aircraft."

".Let's wait until we can build an aircraft engine."

Chen Jian helplessly spread his hands and explained:

"We simply don't have the ability to manufacture the high-energy-density batteries currently used on bombers. Losing one is a major loss. This thing may even cost more than the entire aircraft."

"So you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. We can't afford such luxury."

"Understood"

Jiang Yu nodded thoughtfully, then asked expectantly:
"Captain, when can we build an aircraft engine?"

"If we have an aircraft engine, we can build a real fighter jet, right?"

"It's early."

Chen Jian led Jiang Yu towards the base entrance and explained:

"The so-called fighter jet manufacturing is not as simple as you think. The material problem alone is enough to hold us back."

"By the time we can create a true fighter jet again, human civilization should be almost restored."

"so."

Jiang Yu sighed with a little disappointment and asked unwillingly:

"Can I still fly a fighter?"

"It should work."

Chen Jian smiled and gave a noncommittal answer.

But even this answer was enough to make Jiang Yu excited.

"I will try my best to live until then!"

".Don't set such a flag. After these two flights, you can take a rest for a while."

Chen Jian said helplessly:
"The second aircraft has already completed its test flight successfully, and pilot training will soon be completed."

"You are the first pilot we have trained, and also the most successful one."

"Let Reggie arrange for you to give lectures to pilots who haven't actually flown yet."

“Since you are also starting from scratch, your experience may be more useful.”

"Understood! Promise to complete the task!"

Jiang Yu answered solemnly, and at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Chen Jian looked back and saw that the person coming was Lei Jie.

"How about it?"

Chen Jian asked.

"completely fine!"

Lei Jie breathed rapidly and said:
“The fuel is right, but not enough!”

"The route has been discovered. With two bombers taking turns flying, we can bring back all the fuel within a day!"

"As soon as the fuel is in place, we'll start pouring!"
