Chapter 147 Daigo: Don't worry, this time there won't be a crash!
Daigo and Horii set off in the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
On the other side, Lin Yeming had just gotten off the plane. This year, TPC had given him special annual leave so he could go back to his hometown to visit.
The moment he stepped out of the plane, a sense of familiarity washed over him as he returned to his long-lost hometown.
Lin Yeming pulled his suitcase, gazing at the festively decorated scene outside the airport.
That's a scene unique to ancient China, comparable only to Christmas in the West.
But that's all in the past; he has now returned to Japan.
In fact, during his vacation, he even used his superpowers to visit the Kunlun Mountains.
However, he couldn't see any problems over there, so he could only put aside his doubts for the time being.
Lin Yeming was lost in thought when his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from headquarters informing him of a mysterious meteorite crash and the deployment of the Victory Team for patrol.
Upon seeing the message, he paused, his brow furrowed, and the wheels of his suitcase left a mark on the ground.
Lin Yeming took a deep breath, and without waiting for anyone to pick him up, he hailed a taxi and sped towards headquarters.
During the journey, he watched the street scenes rushing past the car window, his hands unconsciously clenching, silently praying that Daigo and the others could hold on.
Shortly after, the car arrived at headquarters. He jumped out of the car and, without even changing into his uniform, rushed to the command center to find out what was going on.
On the other side, after reaching the airspace above the destination, Daigo reported his location as usual.
However, not long after, Daigo realized that the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was difficult to control.
Not long after, warning lights flashed wildly in the cockpit, and a piercing alarm spurted painfully into people's ears.
"Daigo, ascend faster, we're going to fall!" Horii roared, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He gripped the armrests of his seat tightly, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the instrument panel. His body leaned forward involuntarily as the plane shook violently.
"No, the control stick won't obey me." Daigo gritted his teeth, his arm veins bulging, and tried his best to pull the control stick, but it was as if it were nailed to the ground and wouldn't budge. The fighter jet continued to spin uncontrollably and plummet downwards.
"The electromagnetic interference here is too strong. Let me see if I can restart it." Horii's voice trembled as his fingers flew across the control panel, trying to adjust parameters and restart the system, but all his efforts were in vain, with no response whatsoever.
The conversation between Daigo and Horii abruptly ended there, leaving only the piercing whistle of fighter jets cutting through the air.
"There's no other way, we can only use that system. Although it's only a semi-finished product, it should still be usable." Sweat streamed down Horii's forehead, but his eyes remained fixed on the front as he gritted his teeth and said.
"What system? Does Unit 1 have other systems?" Daigo's face was full of astonishment. He paused in his actions, turned to look at Shinjo, his eyes filled with doubt and worry. In this life-or-death situation, any untested system was like a double-edged sword, posing a huge risk, but at this moment there was no other choice.
Horii didn't offer any further explanation. His fingers flew across the control panel, bringing up a hidden interface where he quickly entered commands.
Just then, the fighter jet jolted violently, and its descent slowed slightly. "Daigo, I've forced a switch to manual control. Try it quickly, hopefully this temporary replacement can hold on," he shouted.
"understand!"
Daigo replied with a sentence and immediately took control of Unit 1. The aircraft quickly stabilized. Although the flight speed was very slow, it was fortunate that it did not crash.
He wiped his sweat and asked with some confusion, "When did you install the new system on Unit 1? How come I didn't know?"
Horii coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said, "This is what Yoruaki asked for. He said that many monsters have strange magnetic fields that can easily interfere with electronic devices. He asked me if I had any way to solve this, or at least reduce the impact."
Daigo asked, "So you developed this system?"
Horii shook his head and said, "That's not the case. This system was developed based on the manual operation of the underground Pipa tank, so it's not considered an independent development."
"However, I have optimized a lot of functions, but unfortunately the radar system and communication system are not yet ready."
"That's already amazing..."
Daigo nodded with a look of approval, but he was too happy too soon, because what Horii said next almost broke his composure.
"Mainly, you and Shinjo are prone to plane crashes, so this feature can at least increase your safety."
"Huh? No, why are you bringing this up?" Daigo almost choked on his breath.
It's only a few times, right?
Is it really necessary to care so much...?
Although the Naga saved them most of the time, they did indeed crash some of their planes.
The most recent one was the incident with Sila, where he and the commander were injured.
Although the Naga eventually used special energy to help him recover, new skin grew over the scars on his body during this time.
After they recovered from their injuries, it caused quite a stir within the Victory team. Later, under Lin Yeming's strict orders, it was forbidden to spread outside the team, and the incident was reported to Director Sawai.
In the end, only the higher-ups and members of the Victory team knew about this.
"Don't worry, there won't be a crash this time!" Daigo promised.
But the next second, a huge fog drifted towards them.
"Daigo! Watch out!"
Despite Horii's best efforts to remind them, they still lost their way in the thick fog, and finally, with a loud bang, it seemed as if they had hit something.
On the other side, Lin Yeming rushed into the command room, but before he could even speak, he was stunned by the terrifying image of Unit 1 teetering on the edge of the ground on the screen. "How could this happen?" he blurted out, his eyes urgently scanning the crowd, trying to quickly grasp the situation.
Lina shook her head and said worriedly, "I don't know. They encountered strong electromagnetic interference as soon as they arrived at their destination."
"After testing, the electromagnetic waves there were found to have exceeded those of Gazort and could directly interfere with electronic equipment."
"Therefore, Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 lost control and plummeted from mid-air."
After Ye Rui finished explaining, he quickly mobilized satellites and found an image that showed a rough view of the data.
After everyone looked through it, Xincheng felt goosebumps all over his body: "What's going on with that strange white mist?"
It appeared in that instant, and in another instant devoured Victory Flying Swallow No. 1. And after devouring it, it simply withdrew, as if it had completed its mission.
At the same time, a signal came in, and two large avatars appeared on the screen simultaneously. Upon seeing this, Lina's worried expression vanished.
"Headquarters, we have encountered strong electromagnetic interference. Requesting backup!"
Horii pointed the camera at the Flying Swallow No. 1, which was stuck in the tree, and said helplessly.
