General Mungo said flatly.
"That's what you're good for."
Sheyan took a closer look, then turned to General Mungo and said, "Let's go.
"Can it guarantee that we can reach Uplos?"
General Mungo shook his head.
"No, but I know that contestants like you have some amazing abilities. For example, you can transfer some objects you come into contact with into an exclusive space. That exclusive space is called your personal warehouse, right?"
Sheyan nodded with a smile.
General Mungo continued.
"If I remember correctly, your personal warehouse shouldn't be able to transfer or store objects at will. The things that can be stored in it are all things that have been assimilated into the same plane as you. Things that don't belong to the same plane as you cannot be stored due to the existence of the planar laws. Just like the Wasp spacecraft, equipment, machinery, and cyborgs you received earlier."
Sheyan was a little excited when he heard this.
"What do you mean? …. "
"The Wasp spacecraft in front of us has a small amount of Pi element added to its surface paint, which can deceive the planar laws. You can put it in your storage space. Of course, that's only if you can fit it."
Sheyan was already smiling.
"Of course, my storage space is big enough to fit the entire planet Uplos! That's a pretty good gift! "
The gift was more than just 'pretty good'! Without this thing, unless Sheyan had to carry his Wasp all the way forward, he would have to trudge through the dangerous areas of the magnetic storm while inspecting the geology. After persevering for hundreds of kilometers, even if he had completed the mission, he would have to turn back and head back! This meant that the danger was doubled.
With this portable spacecraft, he could take off and return as soon as he completed the mission! There was no need to explain the difference between the two periods.
When he got closer to the Wasp, he found that the surface of the Wasp had a brownish-brown slant of tree rings. The slant was glistening like water, giving it an ancient and mysterious feeling. The Wasp also looked more compact as a whole.
"This aircraft is actually an escape ship assigned to the generals in the theater because it can't be tracked by radar at all, nor can it be targeted by missiles," General Mungo suddenly added.
Sheyan then noticed the abbreviation FJ (Fiji) on the wing. He immediately burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he bent over and clutched his stomach.
"Well then, good luck and come back alive." General Mungo said, "I'm starting to understand how a bastard like you managed to climb to the position of lieutenant colonel."
***
Sheyan did not mention the little Second Lieutenant in front of General Mungo, not because he had forgotten anything, but because mentioning him now would be harming him instead of helping him.
When Sheyan returned to the tarmac, he was surprised to find that another group of people had gathered to watch something. Several Wasps nearby had been dismantled and were scattered all over the ground as if they had been dismembered.
Aldaris saw him from afar and greeted him. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and said,
"How is it?"
"So-so." Sheyan smiled. "What's going on over there?"
Aldaris sat gloomily on the wing of the Wasp and curled his lips.
"That Paul, who inherited Magneto's ability, can't just control metal! With this ability, he's a first-class mechanic. He can modify more powerful and durable aircraft without being discovered by the technological barriers set up by the Predators. "
Sheyan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Oh, is that so? Then why are you still here?"
Aldaris replied flatly.
"Because his price is beyond what I can afford."
"The initial modification cost 300,000, which can increase the capacity by 100% and increase the defence by 50%."
"The mid-modification cost 400,000, which can increase the capacity by 200% and increase the defence by 100%. It can also give the aircraft offensive capabilities."
"The final modification cost 800,000, which can increase the capacity by 200% and increase the defence by 100%. It can also give the aircraft offensive capabilities. It can also transform the aircraft into a walking robot to follow and provide firepower support."
Sheyan was very surprised when he heard this series of services, not only because of the high price this guy was asking for, but also because of the various additional functions he added! Among them, the most inconceivable one was the transformation of the aircraft.
The current technology of the Empire already supported this kind of combat transformation ability, but it was still beyond their capabilities to apply it to a small and flexible aircraft like the Wasp. It was like when the thickness of a mobile phone was less than six millimetres, for every millimetre thinner, the price would be N times higher than the previous step. It was the same for aircraft as well to transform into different postures.
Unfortunately, Paul's method was an unconventional processing technique. He used his Telekinesis to twist and weld the metal. He even needed to inlay a magic core into the aircraft to maintain the power output. The magic core could only be described as a mystery to the entire empire.
Sheyan looked at Aldaris and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"It's okay. We'll just borrow it when the time comes. Maybe we can form a deep friendship with Mr. Paul during the adventure and ask him to give us a cost price that'll cover the cost."
Aldaris flicked his finger and an electric spark appeared.
"You're right."
***
The universe was still dark and mottled with stars, but Sheyan did not feel bored at all.
Because this time, his life and death depended on the controller in his hand and the thin transparent windshield in front of him.
"The speed limit is 3 km/s, the force limit of the front windshield is 3887 kg/cm2, and the maximum torque is …."
Sheyan muttered the relevant key data, then slowly pushed the controller forward. Together with the brainwave receiver on his head, two 15-meter-long orange tail flames were ejected from the exhaust of the Wasp. The Wasp quickly flew towards its destination at high speed along the pre-set trajectory.
The Wasp did not look like a Wasp. It only had the distinctive characteristics of a Wasp, namely a thin waist and a streamlined tail. In terms of its overall structure, it was more like a battery with two positive electrodes facing each other and welded together.
The thin waist ensured that the front and back sections could be cut off quickly when needed, so it could save the life of the Wasp by cutting off its tail. The design of the front and back sections also made the Wasp more agile.
As mentioned earlier, the physics of the motion of a spacecraft in space was very different from that in air and water. In empty space, it was more like a huge truck sliding on slippery ice.
The X-wing of the Wasp was the most classic part of the design. The wingtips of the four wings were equipped with ion jet sub-engines. The four long wings acted more as "levers", so that the engine output at the wingtips could get more torque.
Sheyan did not see anyone else, at least within his sight with the naked eye, and the radar was the same. It was definitely not a good idea to enter the asteroid belt where the Predators had cast "witchcraft" on them in groups, so everyone had to set off in turn every fifteen minutes.
As they had yet to enter the strong magnetic field interference zone, the camera probes in the Wasp spacecraft were still operational. The situation of all the contestants could still be observed by the mothership. The observers were already exclaiming from time to time, "That's right!
"Oh my God! This barbarian actually increased the instantaneous speed of the Wasp to 10 km/s. The limit of an ace pilot is 3 km/s, or he'll lose consciousness immediately. How high is the titanium content in his body? "
"That modified Wasp is actually forcing its way through the asteroid belt. It only needs to dodge 40% of the asteroids. The rest are either destroyed directly or knocked away by its armour! That guy who modified it is really a genius! "
"… …."
After hearing these exclamations and seeing the Wasp being controlled as if it was alive and shuttling through the asteroid belt, General Mungo's expression finally improved.
Although these contestants were arrogant and unruly, their strength was indeed quite terrifying. They were even comparable to some of the alien natives he had seen before. Seeing their performance, Mungo finally had a little more confidence that he could successfully complete the mission.
It was worth mentioning that the difficulty of piloting a spacecraft nowadays was not too high. It was done by using brainwave sensing and manual assistance. As long as the spacecraft could withstand the pressure, all kinds of tricks could be played. The most difficult factor that limited piloting skills was the physical fitness of the pilot.
Otherwise, based on the piloting method of the past, it would be a miracle if the pilot could learn how to take off and land in just a few days without losing his life.

"I'm coming, planet Uplos!" Sheyan steadied the pilot's controls to avoid the high heat and violent vibrations of the spacecraft as it passed through the atmosphere. At this time, from a distance, the spacecraft Sheyan piloted looked like a meteor that had been ignited and was plunging diagonally towards the ground.
Although Sheyan's lack of experience caused him to make a lot of mistakes when entering the atmosphere, his strength played a very crucial role at this time. He was able to pull the Wasp, which was about to go out of control, up at the critical moment, and then barely managed to land amidst the violent turbulence. (To be continued.
