Night Owl
After much discussion, Old Wang finally bought a Flying Boat because the Quartermaster had given him a mission: to collect two Legendary materials.
In essence, he traded two Legendary materials for a Flying Boat. If calculated based on the actual price of these two materials in the game, Old Wang would definitely have lost money.
These two extremely rare Legendary materials are more than enough to trade for two Flying Boat.
But in reality, Old Wang only spent two hundred yuan on these two Legendary materials, and the key point is that he can't sell them.
Two hundred for a Flying Boat; the parts on that Flying Boat would cost more than that even if you sold iron for the price of one.
Moreover, the Quartermaster even solved his driver's license problem, because with zero, these kinds of technological products were a piece of cake for Old Wang.
The Flying Boat that Old Wang bought, despite its Flying Boat, is actually a fighter jet called Night Owl-30.
The Flying Boat is entirely blue and made of an extremely Fortification Special Alloy. Its wings can be folded from the middle to reduce the footprint when parked.
Meanwhile, each wing has a Turbine Engine, enabling it to take off and land vertically and hover, and it has excellent noise reduction capabilities.
It has two jet engines at the rear, which can perform Curved-Surface Jump flight when running at full power. Its main armament is two Anti-Materiel Rocket Cannons, and its secondary armament is Laser Machine Gun.
The Flying Boat's overall performance wasn't particularly outstanding, especially its firepower, which was somewhat lacking.
But the Quartermaster clearly knew what Old Wang was up to; the most impressive feature of the Night Owl series was its silent flight.
If you have your back to it, you might not even notice it flying 10 meters behind you.
In addition to carrying eight people, it can also carry some cargo, making it practically tailor-made for this mission.
"Riding me... flying my beloved little airplane, it will never get stuck in traffic..."
Old Wang hummed a little tune as he flew his newly bought plane back to the Dawn, which was docked at the Homeworld Base, and parked it in the designated parking spot for Class A.
As soon as he got off the plane, he saw two elderly people who looked somewhat familiar walking towards him in a hurry.
They bypassed Old Wang and began to observe the Night Owl-30 behind Wang Qianduo.
Old Wang: "???"
These are two elderly people with gray hair. One wears glasses and is slightly overweight, while the other has a white beard.
After circling the Night Owl twice and looking at each other, the older man with the bulging eyes said:
"This should be a fighter jet designed for amphibious use; its overall design concept is somewhat outdated."
"It can't be said that the concept is outdated. As a carrier-based fighter jet, sacrificing firepower for payload is probably to deal with special situations."
"This should be a special-purpose fighter jet; its purpose is to be modified," said another elderly man with a beard.
"That's true, and the technology of silent flight is indeed worth learning; at least our current technology level can't achieve that!"
"That's right, and we finally have a chance to see the engine of this world."
The two men chatted away about the owl in front of them, completely Ignore Old Wang.
"Brother Wang, you're back!" Night Owl said to Old Wang as he walked up.
"Who are these two?" he asked the Night Owl.
"These two are big shots from the Central Research Institute. They were attracted to the Third Group by the materials provided by our Guild Warehouse," Night Owl said.
"The Central Research Institute!! Even such a big shot has come to our guild!" Old Wang exclaimed in shock. No wonder he looked familiar; he must have seen him on the news.
"Ah, after all, we are the number one guild, right? But it's not without its downsides, namely that we can't command them," Night Owl said.
"You still want to boss them around? It's already a miracle they even joined your guild. These are real big shots. Even a little bit of information they leak from under their fingernails is enough to benefit us immensely!" Old Wang said.
The Central Research Institute is the highest scientific research institution on Earth Star, and it is filled with leading figures of the modern Einstein level. It can be said to be a place that drives human progress.
Old Wang never expected to have the opportunity to be in the same guild as them.
Just as Old Wang was marveling at this, he suddenly saw the two big shots using tools to open the hood of Night Owl's engine.
This left him speechless. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen! Gentlemen! You can't demolish this place nowadays!"
"Are you worried we won't be able to put it back?" the white-bearded old man asked, looking at Old Wang.
"Uh... of course not, it's just that I'm about to modify and use this thing. After I'm done using it, you two can disassemble it as you please."
Please wait two days. After I finish using it, you can open it however you like.
"Besides, I've already bought this thing, so you can take it apart into parts if you want," Wang Qianduo immediately explained. He was determined to keep these two big shots with him.
"Modify? Tell me what you want to modify," the slightly overweight old man asked.
"We won't change anything; we'll just coat the outside with a special material to deceive the Giant Beast in the Starry Sky," Wang Qianduo.
"Brother Wang, you've found a way to get to the Dark Domain?" Night Owl asked excitedly, lowering his voice and glancing around.
"Why are you so nervous about a private chat?" Old Wang looked at him speechlessly.
"Ahem, excuse me!"
"Can you add more coating? It's for that mission, right? I can help you with that. After you get the core, we can borrow it for a few days to study it!"
The Night Owl had just finished his private chat when the slightly chubby, bespectacled old man immediately saw through Old Wang's intentions.
It seems these two aren't completely oblivious; they do know about some of the major events in the game.
"No problem, but you two can actually study this ship. Its engine is Nebula-Class Engine, which is Tier-Two Starship Engine."
"The reward for that mission couldn't possibly be better than this, but it's true that we have a second-hand engine," Wang Qianduo said.
"We can see that this engine is very powerful. Your Starship is called a Tier 1, but its size is not much different from a Tier 2. How could it possibly fly without a powerful engine?"
However, we are not confident in disassembling the Core Engine, the core of the entire Starship, for two reasons.
First, whether it's Starship from this world or Starship from Earth Star, they are all the culmination of cutting-edge technology.
Dismantling it would require a great deal of technical support, not to mention that Starship in this world are fundamentally different from those on Earth Star.
Earth Star's Starship are products of complete technological advancement, but this one incorporates the special power of Magic Energy.
We old folks haven't figured this out yet.
Another issue is that we don't have a good Laboratory right now, so we can't conduct large-scale analytical projects..."
The white-bearded old man said this, then looked at Wang Qianduo Wang Qianduo, who immediately understood.
"Old Ye, quickly write this down, then start preparing the Laboratory according to your requirements, and make plans with Boss Lin and the others," Wang Qianduo said.
"Oh! Oh!" Night Owl.
"Haha, young man, you certainly have a good eye. Don't worry, we won't use your things for nothing; you'll benefit from them later."
The old man smiled and then mentioned some requirements for the Laboratory to Night Owl.
Because they were afraid the Night Owl wouldn't understand, they didn't use any precise technical terms, but the Night Owl were still completely confused.
However, he wrote everything down and will find a professional to handle it later.
After chatting for a while, Old Wang learned that the two big shots were surnamed Zhang and Zhao, respectively, and were both truly important figures.
They've won awards worldwide and are frequently in the news.
The group only talked for a short while, as their time was truly precious for the two of them.
Having resolved a worry for him, the two bigwigs were eager to help Old Wang solve his problem.
They brought in their students and their students' students, and with professional equipment that Wang Qianduo couldn't understand, they began to analyze the Darkstone Coating for Night Owl.
While they were busy, Old Wang and Night Owl found Lin Qimeng and the others and discussed the issues concerning these big shots.
"We must retain these big shots, no matter the cost," Wang Qianduo said.
"We know without you saying it, we'll figure something out in the Laboratory," Lin Qimeng said.
"Well, contact me if you need any special materials. Also, is anyone interested in completing that mission with me?" Wang Qianduo asked again.
"You go by yourself this time. The guild is still in its early stages and none of us can leave!"
Old Wang: "... So I'm the only one with nothing to do!"
Lin Qimeng: "How could you be idle? Aren't you busy with the mission? Once we get this Starship engine, we'll gain an unimaginable advantage."
"Alright! I'll go by myself then!" Old Wang said immediately, full of energy.
