Chapter 313 - Looks Easy and is Actually Useless (Third Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Pei Zijing nodded. "Alright, whether you've learned it before isn't important. What matters is that I see how you created your record. Get in the warplane!"

Xia Chujian walked to the YA00 Harrier-type Warplane, looked up, and asked curiously, "Is this also a new Harrier-type training warplane?"

"Yes, just delivered, specially prepared for breaking the record." Pei Zijing climbed up first, sat in the back seat, and then fixed the training recorder at a good angle, so he could film all of Xia Chujian's warplane operations later.

Xia Chujian put on her helmet and got into the warplane.

According to what she had learned before, she first routinely checked the warplane's conventional performance indicators and reviewed some routine data.

Such as the engine's efficiency, model, and through the operation control panel, she checked the weather, wind speed, and wind direction.

After all checks were completed, she started the warplane and contacted the ground control station for a swift takeoff.

Flying to a certain altitude, Xia Chujian began to accelerate.

At the beginning, she still needed to find a balance between altitude and speed, so that she could accelerate the Harrier-type Warplane to its previous actual maximum speed, which was thirty-six kilometers per minute, in the shortest amount of time.

After reaching this previous actual maximum speed, she would continue to accelerate.

This process was her second time operating.

With experience, she was much faster than in the morning. After a minute, her speed had already exceeded the previous actual maximum speed!

Thirty-six kilometers per minute!

Thirty-seven kilometers per minute!

Thirty-eight kilometers per minute!

Thirty-nine kilometers per minute!

...

Xia Chujian constantly adjusted the warplane's operating system, seeking a new balance point between altitude, speed, and the engine's load capacity.

Then, she once again noticed that when the warplane approached forty kilometers per minute, the engine's irregular shaking sound reappeared...

Holding the control stick, feeling the warplane's balance performance, she thought, if she tried harder, she would most likely be able to accelerate to the previous maximum speed, which was fifty kilometers per minute.

But if that were the case, the engine would definitely malfunction.

In any case, she couldn't let another warplane explode.

Moreover, she felt that, based on the engine's load capacity, the theoretical maximum speed of this warplane should be fifty kilometers, not fifty-four kilometers.

If the designed theoretical maximum speed was indeed fifty-four kilometers per minute, then the engine must have a serious defect, because it simply could not bear this speed...

Xia Chujian thought to herself, the force on the control stick in her hand also stabilized, and so did the engine's load function output.

Xia Chujian used a speed of 49.5 kilometers per minute to circle in the high altitude for nearly twenty minutes, until Pei Zijing said with satisfaction, "Alright, return to base."

Xia Chujian then flew back to the second row warehouse of the Flying Base's Harrier-type Warplane.

Pei Zijing got out of the warplane and said with a smile, "Your record is secure. This time, I will report it immediately and request a commendation for you."

Xia Chujian nodded. "Thank you, Chief Instructor Pei."

After Pei Zijing left, Xia Chujian took off her helmet and let out a long sigh of relief.

Yu Fei came in from outside the door, smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Xia Chujian, you broke the record on your first day in the warplane."

Xia Chujian smiled at him. "Congratulations, Instructor Yu, you have also made a contribution."

Yu Fei laughed and said, "I've decided, I'll take over your group. Tomorrow is the Owl-Class Fighter, and the day after tomorrow is the Eagle-type Fighter, both are leaders in Ground Fighter models."

Xia Chujian said, "The Owl-Class Fighter is not known for its speed, but for its fierce firepower. Will we have a chance to fire?"

Yu Fei nodded, smiling and saying, "You are Starry Sky Fighter pilots, but Ground Fighters are also an important means of consolidating flight skills. Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to fight a small-scale war with Ground Fighters!"

Xia Chujian's eyes lit up suddenly. "Really?! That's great!"

...

Back in the dormitory at night, her roommates already knew that she had broken the actual maximum speed record of the Harrier-type Warplane on her first day, and it had been confirmed by the base and would be reported to the Military tomorrow.

Mao Yonggui said with a smile, "So Chujian is so amazing! You should treat us!"

Xia Chujian waved her hand: "No problem! I'll treat everyone to a big meal at the cafeteria!"

The Flying Base's cafeteria also had stir-fries and private rooms, but those weren't free. You had to pay with your own allowance.

Xia Chujian didn't care anyway, and didn't know how much her allowance was. She just used the card Meng Guanghui gave her and took her roommates out for a feast.

After finishing dinner with her roommates, everyone began to study the textbooks assigned by Instructor Yang Ling nervously.

Xia Chujian found that she could learn how to operate a warplane as soon as she saw it.

But when it came to reading these books, she was useless as soon as she looked at them.

Before long, she felt drowsy and, not caring that her roommates were still engrossed in their books, she went to sleep.

While her roommates were secretly studying in their blankets at night with high-powered LCD reading lights, she slept soundly.

...

The next day, after two lessons on the theoretical knowledge of the Owl-Class Fighter, they began their flight training again.

This time, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi all wanted Xia Chujian to go up for training first.

Their instructor was still Yu Fei.

Yu Fei took off in the Owl-Class Fighter trainer.

Yu Fei was already familiar with her now, so he didn't beat around the bush. After demonstrating once, he said, "The actual maximum speed of the Owl-Class Fighter is only thirty kilometers per minute. The theoretical maximum speed is only forty-five kilometers per minute, which is much slower than the Harrier-type Warplane, but the firepower can make up for it, so it's not a real flaw."

Then he flew the warplane back to the tarmac and had Xia Chujian switch to the pilot's seat in the front.

While Xia Chujian was exploring the performance of the Owl-Class Fighter, she felt the engine's performance indicators and praised, "I feel that the engine of this Owl-Class Fighter is much better than the Harrier-type Warplane."

"Is that so? Of course, the cost of the Owl-Class Fighter is twice that of the Harrier-type Warplane. If the engine performance was the same, where would the extra cost go?" Yu Fei said dismissively, adjusting the camera direction of the training recorder.

Xia Chujian didn't continue talking, intending to prove her point with practical action.

This time, after trying to find the best match between speed, altitude, wind speed, and engine load, she suddenly accelerated.

The Owl-Class Fighter, one-third larger than the Harrier-type Warplane, roared towards the sky, creating a thunderous boom! It was indeed not as flexible and light as the Harrier-type Warplane, but its weight determined that its stability in the air was much stronger than the Harrier-type Warplane.

And Xia Chujian found that as long as she could ensure that the engine load did not reach its limit, she could continue to increase the speed of the Owl-Class Fighter!

So before long, she quickly broke through the actual maximum speed of the Owl-Class Fighter—thirty kilometers per minute.

A minute later, she continued to break through, quickly reaching the theoretical maximum speed of the Owl-Class Fighter—forty-five kilometers per minute! Then, she increased the speed again, directly raising the actual maximum speed of the Owl-Class Fighter to fifty kilometers per minute! This had already exceeded the theoretical maximum speed of the Owl-Class Fighter...

Yu Fei stared blankly at Xia Chujian in the back seat, muttering, "...Did I accidentally become the instructor of a genius pilot?!"

Xia Chujian heard it but pretended not to, and just said lightly, "This is mainly because the overall performance of the Owl-Class Fighter is higher than that of the Harrier-type Warplane, especially the engine. This doubled cost is worth it!"

So for the second time this week, Pei Zijing went to the main control room of the ground control station.

This time, he was much calmer.

After contacting Xia Chujian's Owl-Class Fighter, he first contacted Yu Fei, and then asked Xia Chujian to slow down to the theoretical maximum speed of forty-five kilometers per minute.

Then, he asked her to accelerate again to see if she could break through the theoretical maximum speed again.

Xia Chujian did the same thing again. She was already sure that the engine of this Owl-Class Fighter could support the warplane to reach an actual maximum speed of fifty kilometers per minute.

Its theoretical maximum speed was, of course, higher than fifty kilometers per minute.

As long as there was no problem with the engine, how much speed could be achieved was really a matter of the pilot's skill.

When Xia Chujian flew the plane back to the training room warehouse, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi, who were waiting there, smiled happily.

They already knew that Xia Chujian had broken the record again, because just now, Pei Zijing had announced it throughout the base.

"Congratulations, Chujian!"

"Chujian, you're amazing! You've brought so much honor to our dormitory!"

The three of them couldn't wait to lift Xia Chujian up and throw her into the air a few times.

Yu Fei stopped them and said, "Hurry up and get on the plane for training. You guys also try to see if you can surpass it!"

Yu Fei took Mao Yonggui for flight training, and Pei Zijing came to the warplane training room warehouse and asked Xia Chujian, "Do you want to break the record of the Eagle-type Fighter again?"

Pei Zijing believed that Xia Chujian was gifted in this area.

All the actual top speeds of the Ground Fighters would be rewritten by her! As it turned out, Chief Instructor Pei's prediction was correct.

He personally took to the cockpit, first demonstrating the operation of the Eagle-type Fighter to Xia Chujian, then switching places with her.

He remained in the back seat, using the training recorder to record her operating process.

According to the system's introduction, the actual top speed of the Eagle-type Fighter was thirty-six kilometers per minute, and the theoretical top speed was fifty-four kilometers per minute, the same as the Harrier-type Warplane's performance indicators.

However, Xia Chujian discovered that the overall performance of the Eagle-type Fighter had completely taken it to another level.

The Harrier-type and Owl-Class Fighters, whether in terms of price or performance, simply couldn't compare with the Eagle-type Fighter.

No wonder it was a higher model Warplane! Xia Chujian felt the engine's stable output and made a bold decision.

She wanted to try doubling the actual top speed of this Eagle-type Fighter! After she became familiar with the Eagle-type Fighter's performance, Xia Chujian quickly began to increase the Warplane's speed.

Thirty kilometers per minute.

Thirty-six kilometers per minute.

Forty kilometers per minute.

Fifty kilometers per minute.

Sixty kilometers per minute! When Chief Instructor Pei discovered that Xia Chujian had already driven the Eagle-type Fighter to sixty kilometers per minute, his heart suddenly leaped.

The theoretical top speed of the Eagle-type Fighter was only fifty-four kilometers, and Xia Chujian had already exceeded the theoretical top speed by six kilometers!

Chief Instructor Pei asked Xia Chujian through the in-flight communication system from the back row: "Stabilize first, maintain the current speed, is there any abnormality in the engine?"

Xia Chujian said, "The engine's load-bearing capacity is normal, I think I can still accelerate."

In the next minute, she had already driven the Eagle-type Fighter to seventy-two kilometers per minute!

She had increased the previous actual top speed by a full double! And that previous theoretical top speed of fifty-four kilometers per minute looked like a huge joke.

This is the third update. The last day of June! Seeking monthly tickets, Xiaoxiang Tickets, and Recommendation Tickets!

There will be a new update at 00:05 tonight. Three more updates tomorrow!
