Chapter 1526 - Low-Level Reconnaissance
It was not easy to approach the breeding base of Horizon Biotech from the air without anyone noticing.
The other party’s drones had sealed off the entire airspace.
If there really was something shameful in the breeding base, the performance of these drones would definitely be better than the industry standard.
The direction of surveillance was not the ground, but any intruder who dared to approach Horizon from the sky.
If Meng Chao flew too high.
It would be difficult to see the details on the ground.
If he wanted to see the details on the ground, it would be easy for the other party to notice him.
Just as Meng Chao was in a dilemma, he heard a faint buzzing sound.
Looking in the sound’s direction, Meng Chao found that it was a few armored airships taking off and landing.
The Raging Waves Mountain area had become an important source of crystals for the Dragon City civilization, a monster breeding base, and a high-tech industrial park.
It was closely related to the main city area, as well as the surrounding dozens of satellite cities, development zones, military bases, and even the forward bases outside Monster Mountain Range.
In addition to relying on roads and railways, dozens of air routes were also needed to transport people and goods.
There was a medium-sized airport in the bio-industrial park.
Even though it was not even eight in the morning, there had been a steady stream of armored airships in the sky.
However, Horizon had placed the breeding base in a very clever location.
It just so happened to avoid a few main routes.
Even if a few armored airships occasionally passed by the sky above Horizon, they would have to be above the clouds. Only that area, where the airflow was relatively stable, allowed them to enter a cruising state.
The clouds around Raging Waves Mountain Range were extremely thick.
In fact, Raging Waves Mountain got its name from the layer of clouds in the area that covered the entire world like raging waves.
It was especially so in the hinterland of the mountain range where Horizon was located.
It was shrouded in clouds all year round, and the visibility was extremely low.
“Even if I snuck into an armored airship and climbed to a height of thousands of meters, when I was closest to Horizon, it would be difficult for my vision to penetrate the surging clouds and scan the details on the ground clearly.
“Unless I can force an armored airship to lower its altitude, close the distance, and observe it closely.
“If that’s the case, this armored airship will definitely be discovered by Horizon’s drones.”
Meng Chao pondered for a long time.
He put the account books and information that he had just stolen back into his office intact.
Then, he and Ai Lei arrived at the airport at the southeast corner of the biochemical industrial park.
The airport was much livelier than the monster excrement processing center.
The security was also slightly tighter.
However, it still couldn’t stop a sneaky god-level powerhouse.
Meng Chao followed suit and got a flight schedule of the air routes and the latest airspace information.
He found the closest flight route to Horizon and the closest armored airship, as well as figured out the weather information this morning, including the wind speed, direction, and wind force within an hour.
Following the map, he found this armored airship on the tarmac.
This was a PEGASUS-2 type armored airship.
It was a popular model produced in large quantities during the monster war.
It was originally a combat boat that was used for aerial hunting missions.
The uneven monster collision and tearing marks on the body of the airship could be seen from its vicissitudes of life.
However, with the victory of the Monster War, the threat in the air ceased to exist, and a large number of combat airships lost their use.
Many combat airships were equipped with airbags and engines to reduce the speed and increase the cargo load, turning them into civilian transport airships.
This was the case with the armored airship in front of them.
Judging from the paint on the hull, it belonged to the universal group.
A few workers were delivering the freshly slaughtered and cleaned monsters to the special water-locked preservation cabinets inside the armored airship.
Through eavesdropping on the conversation between the two workers, Meng Chao learned that the armored airship was dedicated to transporting raw materials for the canteen of the Universal Corporation in the Crystal Mine in the hidden fog domain.
The Universal Corporation was a big corporation. It had its own monster farm in the Wild Waves mountain range.
The monsters that were freshly slaughtered every morning were transported to the hidden fog domain by armored airships. When they were delivered to the kitchen of the canteen, the flesh of the monsters was still jumping crazily.
Crystal mining was a heavy physical labor.
Other than accidents that could happen at any time, the frontline workers had to endure the ubiquitous interference of spiritual magnetism.
It was inevitable for them to be depressed, grumpy, and even mentally deranged if they stayed in the operations for a long time.
As far as possible to ensure the food of the first-line employees, is to increase productivity, reduce the accident rate, one of the most effective ways.
But, this “Pegasus-2”, has been in service for many years, maintenance is not very good.
It was originally a war era, in order to deal with the overwhelming beast tide, can only “Quantity against quantity”, working day and night to rush out.
After several soul-stirring aerial battles and bone-breaking major repairs, the interior was already riddled with injuries.
After switching from military to civilian use, the airbags and engines that were attached to them also conflicted with the original design concept.
This caused the failure rate of this type of armored airship to be extremely high.
Fortunately, it was only in the vicinity of Dragon City, carrying out short-distance transportation operations.
There was no need to consider the problem of being attacked by monsters.
Moreover, armored airships were famous for their tough skin and thick flesh.
Even if there was an accident and seven or eight engines were destroyed, at most, they would be paralyzed in the air and wait for rescue.
After all, the airbags of armored airships were filled with inert gas.
The outer skin of the airbags was also made of special materials that could not be burned by raging flames.
Even if it was destroyed by human beings, it would be difficult for it to fall freely and cause a tragedy.
Considering the cost, the armored airships that had been flying for more than twenty years and were riddled with patches or altered beyond recognition were still in service.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the armored airship in front of them had blown up one or two crystal engines and deviated from its course when it was climbing up because it had exceeded the limit of mechanical fatigue.
Taking advantage of several staff “Keng-chi-keng-chi”will be a few small mountain-sized special sword halberd demon pig, carrying the armored airship.
Meng Chao like an invisible electric current, accurate into their blind spot, flash into the cargo hold of the armored airship.
It’s a transport. It doesn’t take into account the passengers.
Huanyu group’s home-bred sabre demon pig, although the cell activity and the psionic content of the unit of flesh and blood, are a little bit higher than the market.
However, it was not high enough to attract people’s attention.
There was only one escort in the cargo hold.
His attention was focused on the freshness of the monster’s body parts that had just been delivered, as well as the normal operation of the preservation facilities.
He did not notice that an uninvited guest had sneaked in.
When the armored airship slowly floated in the air and was about to accelerate, the slightly noisy roar from the crystal engines convinced Meng Chao that his plan was feasible.
The ‘Pegasus-2’carried twelve crystal engines.
But only eight high-speed engines were original.
The four heavy engines that were later attached were designed for long-distance transportation under heavy loads.
Two engines of different models, different uses, and different design ideas were roaring at the same time. As a result, their spiritual and magnetic fields interfered with each other, causing the engines, the engine supports, and even the hull to tremble, it was far beyond the limits of ‘comfort’.
The armored airship was like an aging steel behemoth.
It was gasping for breath.
But it was still struggling to climb higher and higher, flying faster and faster.
Of course, it also brought more pressure to the crystal engine.
Meng Chao even heard the noise of metal tearing because it was too tired.
The pilots and escorts had long been used to the deafening noises.
They all wore earmuffs and helmets to prevent the brain from vibrating.
It was even more impossible to detect the movements of uninvited guests.
As the armored airship was about to drill into the clouds, the paint on the surface of the airbag could no longer be seen clearly from the ground.
Meng Chao drilled out of the cargo hold.
The humidity in the wild waves mountains was extremely high. The surface of the airbag of the armored airship was covered with water droplets the size of needle tips. It was wet and slippery.
However, Meng Chao did not need to cling to the surface of the airbag in the first place.
He only needed to cover his flight path with the help of the enormous airbag.
His limbs were always 0.1 millimeters away from the surface of the airbag.
He ‘floated’to the six crystal engines on the left and back of the armored airship.
Meng Chao first plucked a strand of his hair and let it fall freely to test the current wind speed and direction.
Then he looked down at the rolling raging mountains and confirmed the approximate position of Horizon Corporation.
Finally, he calculated the most accurate timing according to the direction and speed of the armored airship.
With a large number of formulas and virtual trajectories, they poured down from his mind like a waterfall.
Meng Chao solved the answer.
Three minutes and 17 seconds later.
The armored airship flew to the airspace closest to Horizon Corporation.
The wind direction and speed were also just right.
Meng Chao was like a giant gecko that was firmly attached to the main engine on the left side of the armored airship.
His palms gently pressed on the shell of the main engine that was shaking violently.
Spiritual energy gushed out of his palms like magma and poured into the core components of the main engine without any resistance.
The vibration and noise of the main engine were suddenly raised by a level!
