Chapter 366: Isn't this international waters?_2
If it weren't for providing a plane for the system to manufacture, the system might not have created a space shuttle for me without reason.
Thinking about this, Lin Yi started chatting with the system.
"System, if I want to explore the ocean, what do you think I need to create? A super submarine or something else?"
Hearing Lin Yi's question, the system immediately responded in its usual way:
[Answering the owner's question: This system is a deconstruction and reconstruction system that can only deconstruct and reconstruct based on items provided by the owner, so the system cannot answer hypothetical questions from the owner!]
Uh...
Okay, I guess I just asked a question to no one.
Although the system's answer was quite speechless, Lin Yi was already used to it.
So he wasn't discouraged and immediately tried another approach, asking:
"Then let me ask you, system: if I provide you with a submarine, what could you deconstruct and reconstruct for me?"
[Answering the owner's question: This system is a deconstruction and reconstruction system. It can only deconstruct and reconstruct based on items provided by the owner, so the system cannot hypothetically answer the owner's question about potential items! The specific deconstruction and reconstruction products will depend on the specific items provided by the owner.]
Good lord, that explanation could have just as well not been given.
Alright, alright, I'll just figure it out on my own.
Beep beep beep beep~ The mecha is being locked on! Do you want to activate anti-tracking mode?
However, just as Lin Yi was working on the system differently, an urgent beeping alarm echoed inside the mecha.
Not only that, but a large red exclamation mark also appeared on the screen in front of Lin Yi.
This sudden change left Lin Yi startled for a moment and then he quickly asked the system to activate stealth mode.
In an instant, the mecha's original gold and red colors were overlaid with a special sky-blue material.
This instantly transformed the mecha into something akin to a stealth fighter.
At the same time, he quickly maneuvered the mecha to accelerate and climb!
With such maneuvers, the red exclamation mark in front of him finally disappeared.
However, just as he turned back, he saw a fiery-tailed object rapidly flying towards him from afar.
This shocked Lin Yi and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"What the hell! Who the heck is being so ruthless and using this thing to greet me!!"
Lin Yi didn't need to look to know what this fiery tailed thing was!
What the hell else could it be besides a surface-to-air? ?
But he was flying just fine, so who the heck was using this on him??
Could it be that old blonde guy was causing trouble for him??
That's impossible! He had been so stealthy; there was no way he'd been discovered, right??
While he was hesitating, that fiery-tailed beast had already reached directly below him.
However, since it lost its tracking target, it was now flying in a straight line.
At this point, Lin Yi could finally see what this thing was.
Arm-thick, roughly three meters long, four short wings at the nose, and also four at the tail.
Not only that, but its flight speed was incredibly fast.
In just the blink of an eye, it had flown dozens, if not hundreds of meters away.
Compared to the previous plane, it was unknown how many times faster.
Seeing this, a mischievous thought suddenly popped into Lin Yi's mind.
Could he capture this thing?
He could only know for sure after getting confirmation from the mecha system.
He wouldn't want to approach it, and then have it explode on him, turning himself into a laughingstock.
"Mecha, if I capture this thing, will it explode??"
"Answering the owner: Theoretically, as long as the front fuse isn't touched, it won't explode."
Getting the mecha system's answer, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the mecha to chase after it.
That's right, it chased after it.
With a burst of acceleration, within just three to five seconds, Lin Yi was right in front of the surface-to-air.
He lowered altitude to match it and then reached out to swipe along its long body.
"Heh, never thought I'd be flying alongside you one day. Who would believe it if I told them?"
Chattering to himself, Lin Yi then spoke to the system in his mind:
"System, hurry up, I've found a great thing for you. Quickly deconstruct it. Oh, right, just deconstruct it, no need to recreate."
After saying this, the system immediately got to work.
The giant flying with Lin Yi disappeared instantly.
In his mind, the system's voice began:
[Recovered owner-provided one MIM-23B Hawk surface-to-air. Deconstructing now~ Deconstruction complete. Molecules stored in system space.]
Hearing this voice, Lin Yi couldn't help but grin.
This way, it was like carrying a big guy around with him.
Not only that, but storing this object's molecules in his system space might come in handy when deconstructing and reconstructing certain items.
Moreover, he still hadn't figured out where this thing had come from and since someone dared to use it against him, he might as well send something back.
After all, as the Huaxia saying goes, propriety demands reciprocity.
...
Meanwhile, when Lin Yi stored the surface-to-air in his system space, beneath the sky he was in, on an island, inside a room.
A group of people was staring at the radar screen, looking at the two suddenly disappeared signals.
After a long pause, a bearded Arabian man finally spoke:
"Did we hit the target??"
The assistant beside him was also dumbfounded, shook his head, and replied:
"Based on the radar signals, both our surface-to-air and the unidentified drone have disappeared; it should be hit.
But the surface-to-air did not transmit any explosion information back, meaning no explosion was detected."
The Arabian man who had asked the question naturally also saw this conclusion and thus didn't respond to his assistant.
After pondering for a long time, he finally said:
"Send an F-14 to check the situation! If you find the drone, shoot it down immediately!"
Following his order, an F-14 fully loaded with ammunition took off from the airport.
...
On the other side, after storing the surface-to-air, Lin Yi didn't rush to leave but instructed the mecha system to start collecting various signal bands below.
This wasn't difficult for the mecha system.
Indeed, under the mecha's quick search, the radar signals were soon captured, and Lin Yi finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that after he engaged the auto-flight mode and focused on his tasks, he forgot to activate stealth mode.
Unbeknownst to him, he had flown into an air defense identification zone.
Meaning, this small island below should be an air defense base.
And since his mecha was relatively small, they directly identified him as an unidentified drone.
Thus, they used surface-to-air against him.
After realizing this, Lin Yi could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
He couldn't blame them; it was his oversight.
In this case, he wasn't planning on causing trouble.
But just as he was about to ascend and leave, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
A bit of thinking made it clear:
"What the hell! This is still international waters, isn't it?! Why the hell is there an air defense identification zone in international waters! It's my freedom to fly in international waters, and you're trying to take me out? You're nuts!"
Thinking of this, he immediately instructed the mecha system to confirm his location, and upon confirming it was indeed international waters, he immediately got angry!
However, also at this time, the mecha's radar began alerting that an unidentified aircraft was rapidly approaching.
Now Lin Yi knew it must be someone from the other side.
"What the hell! You fired a shot at me and I didn't even bother with you, and now you're getting bold? Didn't show you who's boss and you think I'm easy to mess with??"
…
On the other side, this F-14 received orders and immediately flew to the last location where the surface-to-air's signal disappeared.
Only…
