For the time being, this was the only thing that could assist with reconnaissance. Satellites would be difficult to use before the tunnel was connected. Fortunately, the geological conditions around this base had already been thoroughly studied back home, so reopening the tunnel would not be difficult now.
Still, it would take nearly a month before that became possible.
This specially modified Pterosaur reconnaissance drone, with its foldable wings, had only been delivered after extensive alterations.
When Jiang Yan Hai and the others came out, the Pterosaur was already prepared for takeoff.
Dai Yuan looked curiously at the massive steel contraption. Blinking, she asked, "Brother, what is this?"
"This is called an airplane. It can fly in the sky," Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.
"An airplane?" Dai Yuan looked confused. Clearly, she could not understand what it was, but when she heard that it could fly, disbelief still showed on her face.
"Brother, can this big iron bird really... really fly?" Dai Yuan looked up at Jiang Yan Hai and asked.
"Yep." Jiang Yan Hai nodded.
"Then... how does it fly? Do its wings flap up and down like a bird's?" Dai Yuan clearly could not understand it, and Jiang Yan Hai could hardly give her an on-the-spot lesson in aerodynamics. Even if he could explain it, he would have to start with basic physics... no, probably basic astronomy first.
"If you want to know how it flies, just watch from here. And there's something else—today, I'm going out to catch a few Red Mad Wolves for some tests. You can't come with me. Be good and wait here for me." Jiang Yan Hai reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Okay." Dai Yuan seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She merely
