chen fei didn't get any information about boss hana's whereabouts from big cat, but he did see a message on his phone about the female boss going on a business trip. boss hana even took xiao jiu along. the pure light sparrow, which had mastered laser skills, could attack, defend, and heal. it was small in size and less likely to be a target, which made it highly concealed and deceptive, perfectly qualified to serve as a bodyguard. few people would suspect that the seemingly insignificant magical beast on hana gagel's shoulder was actually quite ferocious, ready to charge forward and unleash a fierce barrage of "biubiubiu" attacks. because of xiao jiu's assistance, hana gagel had safely navigated through several troublesome situations. putting down his phone after reading the message, chen fei, watching big cat who had finally found a bottle opener and was using his teeth to successfully twist open the bottle cap, said, "the boss is on a business trip, looking for a new logistics supplier." last time, during her business negotiations with saber group, the logistics supplier for apocalypse defense group, boss hana was severely tricked, and all hopes of continuing to obtain supplies through the original channel were dashed. the two parties even ended up on opposite sides, with no room left for negotiation. however, for jiu defense company to establish a lasting foothold in the xingdu kush mountain area, it was essential to have a professional logistics supplier for support. relying solely on the stockpile of supplies at the base was not sustainable, as eventually, they would run out. when the cannon sounds, one spends a fortune in gold; the brothers die, and the granaries burn. the 911 aircrew base, on its own, had resisted the merman brothers consortium in a corporate war. both sides had a fierce clash, which resulted in the originally anticipated eight years' worth of supplies being reduced to at most four, with many items already running short. hana gagel was incredibly relieved that chen fei, the newcomer at 911 aircrew base, not only unexpectedly awakened metallic psychic powers but was also lucky enough to survive the corporate war. the conflicts between military contractors were sometimes even more brutal than clashes between sovereignties. even the ability users did not dare to guarantee that they would emerge from battle unscathed, and it would not be surprising if some suffered casualties. jiu defense company had two supernatural power users and a surprisingly effective magical beast, the pure light sparrow. this promising start made hana gagel's investment of her family's last resources to take over the aircrew base in the xingdu kush mountain area worthwhile. for the under-resourced jiu defense company, maintaining such a significant aircrew base was not easy. compared to other small military contractors who didn't even have a decent military base, their starting point was much better, especially after their status in jianghu had dramatically increased following a corporate war with industry giants. if hana gagel could successfully negotiate with a new logistics supplier on this trip, jiu defense company and the 911 aircrew base would finally have a stable foundation in the xingdu kush mountain area. while chen fei was worried about whether boss hana's trip would go smoothly, the golden-eyed azure-hearted civet, having polished off two large bowls of fruit wine and licking its lips with lingering satisfaction, said, "this wine is too bland, not exciting enough. chen fei, can you open a better bottle?" the fruit wine was filling, but no matter what, it couldn't compare to the fine liquors in boss hana's liquor cabinet. big cat was indirectly prompting chen fei to open one of those better bottles. having stayed at the 911 aircrew base for only a few days, er lang's taste for wine had greatly improved. luckily, chen fei's homemade fruit wine excelled in its fresh and sweet taste, full of flavor; otherwise, big cat would probably turn up its nose at it. "hmm! alright." chen fei immediately fulfilled big cat's wish, opening a bottle of 54-proof distilled fruit wine for it. this was one leftover from half a year ago that hadn't been finished and was distilled for keeping. after such a long time, the liquor should have mellowed considerably and was worth trying. "ah, is this it?" chen fei directed the ground crew to deliver his boxes one by one to hangar no. 2 and then line them up, ready to be unboxed. these boxes had actually arrived at the closest public airport a while ago, but it wasn't possible for the aircrew base's small transport plane to make a special trip just for him without good reason. chen fei may have been close to boss hana, but he couldn't just casually break the rules. it just so happened that boss hana was traveling this time, which gave chen fei the opportunity to hitch a ride for these boxes back to the 911 aircrew base. "can this f-22 really take to the skies?" chief mechanic xiao ming was the first to arrive at hangar no. 2. how could he ignore such an old warbird suddenly appearing here, pretending not to know anything about it? he had always thought it was just an empty shell, all for show, used merely for boasting or intimidation. but now, seeing so many boxes being brought in, chen fei seemed to be gearing up for some serious work. it suddenly seemed like it wasn't going to be that simple. "don't worry, i have experience!" chen fei's so-called experience meant that he had already successfully replicated one version to take to the skies. now, he was just copying the technique. xiao ming immediately halted the works at hangar no. 1 and led half of the mechanics to hangar no. 2, surrounding the shiny jet fighter with zero stealth capability. since chen fei had assured them it could fly with utter confidence, as the chief of the mechanics, he wouldn't treat it as a joke, nor could he stand by indifferently. if all the technical manuals for the f-22 "raptor" jet fighter were printed out on a4 paper, they would weigh at least four to five hundred kilograms. big brother xiao asked chen fei for an electronic version and started studying it with the mechanics he brought over. the mechanics weren't unfamiliar with the f-22 "raptor" jet fighter, but knowing about it was one thing, and being familiar with it was another. the mig-28, the most commonly used aerial combat weapon by military contractors, and the f-22 come from the same lineage, possessing similar control rules and interface standards, and uniform data link protocols. old david's boxes had nearly cleaned out his last bit of belongings. most had been wiped out by the giant mutant, and now chen fei had thoroughly fleeced him, leaving nothing behind. the boxes brought back by the small transport plane contained not only the f-22 "raptor's" matching components but also specialized tools, taking up two large boxes. even so, this was still not the complete set of tools. many of the tools in chen fei's mechanic team were interchangeable, so old david only sent over the special, uncommon ones in the package. "no need for tools, just use our hands!" originally, chen fei had perfectly replicated an f-22 with just a phillips screwdriver while barely glancing at the technical manual. now, with successful experience under his belt, he knew even more clearly how to incorporate the components sent by old david into the second replicated version, which was still essentially a shell. controlled by the metal elemental psychic power, one component after another disappeared into the surface of the aircraft, automatically finding their correct positions. the largest component old david had sent was the ejection seat, which was simple to install—just throw it into the cockpit and done! through a process that was almost comical, like putting together a puzzle, this f-22 "raptor" jet fighter gradually shed the category of a solid model and transformed bit by bit into a real jet fighter. -
