Chu Shi said, "We have located the evil dragon. Now we must launch this missile to its position. But the distance is too great; we need to transport it some distance."
Ye Fan quickly asked, "Transporting this missile? Isn't that very dangerous? What if it explodes?"
Chu Shi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we're not transporting it ourselves. We're using this manned aircraft for transport. So, for a period of time, we won't be able to go to Gabo City to obtain the fruits of the Tree of Life!"
As the driver for the special team, Xiao Yan immediately identified a related deficiency and asked, "But how will we make this manned aircraft stop? It's easy to fly up, but landing is difficult! This manned aircraft doesn't have an autopilot system. And even if it did, if the landing spot isn't good, the plane could still crash?"
Chu Shi said, "We've already anticipated these issues. So today, we're going to modify this manned aircraft. We'll load some equipment onto it. At the same time, we'll ensure this drone can carry the weight of 1.5 tons."
"Modify this drone?" Xiao Yan was perplexed. The weight of six people isn't even half a ton, and now it's being upgraded to 1.5 tons. Is that really possible?
While Xiao Yan was contemplating, Chu Shi opened the materials that had been delivered a few days prior.
Among the materials from a few days ago, there were a large number of components. There was also a larger wing lying there.
Chu Shi said, "Xiao Yan, Zi Han, Zhou Xiao Yue, come and help!"
Ye Fan asked, "What about me? What do I need to do?"
"You just stand guard around here!" Chu Shi replied.
Ye Fan could only take his machine gun and stand guard nearby.
Su Han said, "Ye Fan, I'll stand guard with you."
Su Han took a machine gun from a nearby equipment case.
"Oh, Deputy Minister Su Han, have you mastered your machine gun training yet?" Ye Fan asked.
"Not yet, but the instructor has agreed to let me use a machine gun in the magic world. Don't worry, even if an army of goblins were to come here, a few bursts from my machine gun would eliminate them."
Ye Le laughed, "Hahaha, if goblins were to come here, we'd really have to rely on you!"
Su Han clearly noticed Ye Fan's condescension. After all, Ye Fan was a "King of Soldiers," and these soldiers naturally revered strength.
"It seems you still don't believe in my abilities, Ye Fan. Well, we'll see when you witness my strength later!" Su Han said.
Holding his machine gun, Su Han scanned the surroundings while watching Chu Shi and the other four assemble the aircraft.
The manned aircraft first had its seats and other components removed. Then, the wings were also taken off. Larger wings were installed. The limiting devices on the aircraft's engines were also removed. Remote control devices were installed as well.
After some modifications, the aircraft became considerably larger.
Chu Shi said, "Good, this has been modified. Now, we just need to install the missile. Come, let's lift the missile onto the aircraft!"
Su Han, Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zi Han, and Zhou Xiao Yue all turned their gaze to the missile weighing 1.5 tons.
It seemed quite difficult for the six of them to lift a missile weighing 1.5 tons.
"How are we going to lift it?" Ye Fan asked.
"The strength of six people to lift this 1.5-ton missile... it's impossible with human strength alone. Are there any tools?" Zhou Xiao Yue said.
Zhou Xiao Yue looked around for tools.
However, after searching, her eyes did not spot any tools like cranes or forklifts.
"There are no tools, Chu Shi. How are we supposed to move it?"
Chu Shi said, "Let's do some simple calculations. A weight of 1.5 tons, divided among six people, means each person has to lift 250 kilograms. For an ordinary person, this seems impossible. But don't forget, you've consumed the fruits of the Tree of Life, and your physique has been enhanced. Therefore, you can now lift heavier objects."
Xiao Yan said, "Are you saying we have to lift 250 kilograms each on average?"
"That's right. Even with our enhanced physiques, this is still a bit difficult!" Ye Fan agreed.
"Don't worry, we do have some tools. Go and get the ropes. And the iron rods we removed earlier." Chu Shi said.
Iron rods! A fulcrum!
Ye Fan felt he immediately understood, "I see, give me a fulcrum and I can lift the Earth. Is that it?"
"Your brain isn't entirely useless!" Chu Shi remarked.
A simple support structure was quickly assembled.
Chu Shi also made a few fixed pulleys.
It would be difficult for the six of them to lift the 1.5-ton weight using only their bodies. However, using pulleys saved a lot of effort.
"Now, tie the rope around the missile."
"Roll the missile to thread the rope through it."
"Let's start pulling now!"
After a period of effort, Su Han and the other five managed to lift the missile onto the aircraft.
Chu Shi did not immediately have the aircraft take off. Instead, he waited until several Global Model 2 drones returned, and then launched another drone as a signal relay.
"We're ready, prepare for takeoff!"
The aircraft, loaded with the 1.5-ton missile, slowly accelerated across the grassland. Once it reached sufficient speed, it lifted off the ground and ascended into the sky.
The other several Global Model 2 drones followed behind.
"Why are there Global Model 2 drones flying behind?" Ye Fan asked.
Chu Shi explained, "We don't have satellites in this magic world. So, for long-distance communication, we need the Global Model 2 drones to act as signal relays. The signal repeaters on the Global Model 2 drones have been enhanced and can achieve a transmission distance of one thousand kilometers above the clouds. Therefore, at intervals, we'll have a Global Model 2 drone hover and remain in the air. Furthermore, several Global Model 2 drones are flying ahead of the missile-carrying aircraft to scout. They can also shoot down any magic creatures we encounter."
Xiao Yan asked doubtfully, "Shoot down? Can the Global Model 2 drones shoot down magic creatures?"
Chu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, some Global Model 2 drones have been equipped with weapons. However, this sacrifices some of their infinite endurance."
"When were they installed? I didn't see them," Ye Fan said.
Chu Shi replied, "The relevant weapon parts were installed at the headquarters in the other world."
Chu Shi took out several tablets and distributed one to each person.
Su Han took a tablet and saw footage from the camera of a Global Model 2 drone flying ahead of the missile-carrying aircraft.
