CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: SALVATION FOR FIREPOWER DEFICIENCY PHOBIA

"So, this flying disc was originally supposed to be encrypted, but now it’s reverted to its initial form?"

Yang Yuan was both surprised and delighted.

"A thirty-eight-digit password... the military is indeed cautious, but this kind of power is too bizarre to guard against."

He immediately input his ID number in reverse, repeating it a few more times until he reached the required number of digits.

[Password set successfully, you are now the highest Authority of this Firepower Flying Disc, current endurance time is 20 hours, maximum signal range is a radius of one kilometer. Within the signal range, you have the right to: 1. Launch and control the Firepower Flying Disc, and launch missiles at any target. 2. Check the ammunition quantity in the ammo compartment. 3. View the full field of vision of the Firepower Flying Disc, including camera and radar terrain map views. 4. Activate the self-destruct device, upon activation, the Energy Core of the Firepower Flying Disc will explode, detonating all remaining ammunition.]

"Hiss, this thing actually has a self-destruct function?"

Yang Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, while secretly feeling relieved: "Luckily, it was destroyed thoroughly enough by the monster before, or I wouldn’t have been able to pick it up..."

Indeed, I wouldn’t have been able to pick it up, but it seems it won’t automatically explode during disassembly.

It seems the military set this self-destruct function to ensure the Firepower Flying Disc and its target would perish together, rather than preventing it from being disassembled to steal technology?

In this case, the military seems not worried at all about the leak of its manufacturing method?

Or perhaps the military is confident others can’t learn it?

No matter.

Yang Yuan tried to control it; because of the neural binding, he didn’t need to select a button. With just a thought, the Firepower Flying Disc hovered silently, while the view in the Power Armor showed a phantom monitoring view.

"This... no propellers, no external propulsion, could it be anti-gravity?"

Yang Yuan was quite surprised.

He maneuvered the flying disc to move.

He saw the flying disc ascend silently, then fly into the distance.

At first, the flying disc moved slowly, but gradually accelerated to over a hundred meters per second.

And this was not the maximum speed.

He continued to accelerate, constantly speeding up.

Finally, the flying disc reached its maximum speed.

In the virtual view of the Power Armor, the current speed was displayed as ’170m/s’.

"Maximum speed of one hundred seventy meters per second?"

Yang Yuan was quite stunned.

However, at this speed, it was already producing a loud noise from breaking the air.

He didn’t dare continue testing and quickly commanded it back.

Soon, the Firepower Flying Disc slowed down and returned to its original position.

Jiang Yiyi’s eyes widened, watching this scene in amazement.

"This is great, this thing... can it carry people?"

Yang Yuan instructed the flying disc to land, then tried sitting on it and controlled it to ascend.

He saw this two-meter diameter, thirty-centimeter thick disc slowly rising, the speed was very slow, but it was indeed ascending.

"This... such strong stability... ah damn..."

Suddenly he exclaimed because the disc tilted abruptly, tossing him off.

At the same time, in the virtual view of the Power Armor, the word [Overweight] appeared.

Fortunately, after he fell down, the Firepower Flying Disc returned to normal and was undamaged.

"Big brother, are you alright?" Jiang Yiyi hurried over to help him up.

"I’m fine."

Yang Yuan looked happily at the Firepower Flying Disc in front of him.

’Although it can’t carry people now, with one or at most two upgrades, it definitely will be able to.’

Thinking this, he wasn’t in a hurry to catch up with the main force; later, he could directly ride the disc to follow.

’Check ammunition quantity.’

With a thought, the virtual view of the Power Armor showed [Current ammunition quantity: 1000/1000 rounds].

’A thousand... missiles?’

Yang Yuan was once again amazed, thinking the missile model shouldn’t be too large, right?

Otherwise, such a flying disc shouldn’t fit so many.

He checked the firing ports of the Firepower Flying Disc.

Upon inspection, he was stunned again.

Because the Firepower Flying Disc had firing ports at three hundred sixty-degree angles, all around as well as on top and below.

In the circle around it, on the disc’s sides, there were nine caliber thirty-two-millimeter barrels.

And three barrels each on top and below.

This meant the Firepower Flying Disc had a total of fifteen thirty-two-millimeter caliber barrels!

’This thing... this thing is simply made for killing enemies!’

Yang Yuan was shocked: ’No wonder it’s called ’Firepower Flying Disc’, it even cured my fear of lacking firepower! If the military has such powerful things, why have I almost never seen them before?’

However, what he didn’t know was that the technology of this kind of Firepower Flying Disc was not yet mature, and the manufacturing cost was too high.

Especially the Anti-gravity System, which accounted for more than ninety percent of the entire Firepower Flying Disc’s value.

Other medium and large unmanned aerial vehicles could actually achieve similar effects, so manufacturing such a thing was somewhat not worth it.

The biggest advantage of this is the ability to attack from all angles, without dead angles, and it wouldn’t be taken out unless necessary.

’Let’s have a look at the radar view...’

Soon, Yang Yuan figured out that the radar view of the Firepower Flying Disc was a radius of one kilometer and could temporarily map the terrain.

Yes, temporarily mapping, without a storage function, only able to see real-time terrain and target views.

’This is already quite good, though it’s still just a prototype and can’t be upgraded yet, it needs to be modified.’

’I hope I can reassemble it completely after disassembling, or I’d feel very distressed.’

Yang Yuan stopped wasting time and asked Jiang Yiyi to help memorize, then carefully disassembled it.

Because he was worried about breaking it, it took him more than two hours, until daylight, to finally dismantle it completely.

’This cannon barrel is so long? There’s a strong magnetic field at the center of the disc, could it be based on railgun principles?’

Yang Yuan curiously studied it: ’The missiles are not large, with a diameter of around thirty millimeters and a length of ten centimeters, small-sized indeed.’

He didn’t delude himself into thoroughly understanding it and asked Jiang Yiyi to help piece by piece to reassemble the disc.

This Firepower Flying Disc is actually not complex, excluding the ammunition, there are only a little over a thousand parts, much less complex than the Power Armor.

Of course, this is because he dared not disassemble the most critical Anti-gravity System, otherwise even with Jiang Yiyi’s help, he wouldn’t be confident to reassemble it.

Yang Yuan had already figured out that his ability doesn’t really require all parts to be completely disassembled and reassembled; rather, disassembling and reassembling each independent module would grant experience, generating upgrade data for the item.

After spending another two-plus hours, finally, he reassembled this Firepower Flying Disc just as it was before.

[Firepower Flying Disc signal restored, connected.]

Such words appeared in the virtual view of the Power Armor.

At the same time, a white light flashed, and data finally appeared on the Firepower Flying Disc:

[Cruise Unmanned Firepower Flying Disc LV.1: 0/30 (Current endurance time 20 hours, ammunition capacity 1000, maximum remote control distance 1000 meters, maximum range 500 meters, maximum speed 170m/s)]

’Only thirty points of initial experience needed?’

Yang Yuan was quite surprised.

Originally, he thought this thing’s initial experience might surpass that of the Power Armor, yet it turned out to be less than half of it.

After all, initial quality wise, this is way stronger than the Power Armor.

’Could it be that my ability determines the initial experience of an item based on its structural complexity?’
