Chapter 926 New Developments in Aircraft

"This time, we must succeed!" Zhang Meng patted his chest, his brows full of determination.

"Yes! We must succeed!" Qing'er was not to be outdone and clenched her fists.

"What success? Let's find the golden fruit first!" Qiqi complained while chewing dry food, "I really doubt whether the wise cat is testing us on purpose. Three days to find a golden fruit? That's simply playing with our IQ!"

"Hey, why are you still complaining?" Zhang Meng rolled his eyes, "Can't you change your bad habits and stop complaining all the time?"

"Complaining is part of my life." Qiqi said seriously, "Life is incomplete without complaining!"

"Can you two be quiet for a moment?" Qing'er suddenly stopped and pointed ahead. "Look, isn't that the golden fruit we are looking for?"

Zhang Meng and Qiqi looked over together and found that on the branch of a big tree in the distance, there was indeed a sparkling golden fruit hanging, as bright as the moon.

"Oh my god! These are really golden fruits!" Zhang Meng was so excited that he almost fell down. "Hurry, let's go over there!"

The three men ran quickly toward the fruit tree, their hearts filled with hope of victory.

"We've finally succeeded this time! Let's go back and increase the power of the aircraft so that it can fly much higher than before!" Zhang Meng said excitedly while running.

"Yes, with the increased power of the aircraft, we can fly farther and run faster!" Qing'er also responded happily.

However, just as they approached the golden berries, suddenly—

"Crack!"

With a loud bang, the branches suddenly broke, and the golden fruits fell down and hit them.

"Ah! Be careful!" Zhang Meng shouted and rushed over to catch the fruit.

"I'll take it!" Qiqi was not to be outdone and rushed towards the fruit tree.

However, the golden fruit seemed to have consciousness and quickly fell to the side, cleverly avoiding their contact.

"Look, the tree fruit has its own consciousness!" Qing'er's eyes lit up, "It's challenging us!"

"Challenge? Who can it challenge?" Qiqi curled his lips, "Didn't you see it fall down by itself? This is not its intention at all, this is its destiny!"

"Hey! Stop arguing here, and find a way to catch it!" Zhang Meng was a little anxious, "If it falls down accidentally, we won't be able to pick up even a fragment!"

At this moment, the golden fruit seemed to sense their sense of urgency and rolled away at an even faster speed!

"This is too unreasonable!" Qiqi was stunned, "He actually ran away!"

"Don't just stand there, chase them quickly!" Zhang Meng took the lead and rushed towards the rolling golden fruits.

"This fruit is so clever!" Qing'er said as she ran after it, "Could it be raised by the wise cat?"

"Stop talking, chase him first!" Qiqi was serious this time and followed without hesitation.

The three of them chased the golden fruits all the way, passing through the jungle and climbing over small hills. Their physical strength gradually failed and they began to complain of being tired.

"I don't want to chase this kind of fruit that can run away anymore!" Qiqi panted and complained loudly, "This is simply a challenge to our extreme endurance!"

"Hold on, we'll soon catch up!" Zhang Meng shouted as he ran.

Finally, the golden fruit rolled to a steep rock wall and stopped.

"It finally stopped!" Qing'er let out a long breath and stood still, "We can catch it now!"

"Hurry up, don't let it run away again!" Zhang Meng took the opportunity to rush over and grabbed the golden fruit.

"Success!" Qiqi shouted, "Finally done!"

At this moment, a branch of the tree suddenly shook, and then a cat jumped down from the tree and landed steadily in front of the three people.

"Meow!" The wise cat stared at the golden fruit in Zhang Meng's hand with wide eyes, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes, "You finally found it?"

"Finally, finally!" Zhang Meng panted, holding the fruit tightly in his hand, with a smile on his face, "Now I can go back and improve the aircraft!"

"Aircraft? Your aircraft?" The wise cat suddenly smiled. "Do you really think this tree fruit can make your aircraft fly higher?"

"What do you mean?" Qing'er was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that... this tree fruit is useless?"

"Of course it's useful," the wise cat narrowed his eyes, "but the real breakthrough of the aircraft does not rely on the power of this tree fruit, but on you!"

"Ourselves?" Zhang Meng was not able to react for a moment. "What do you mean?"

The wise cat said leisurely: "Although your aircraft can fly higher, if you want to reach a higher level, you must understand the true mystery of flying."

"The secret of flying?" Qing'er frowned, "Is there any other mystery?"

"Flying is not simply about speed and power. It is closely related to the air, the earth, and even the power within you." The wise cat sat on the ground and explained slowly, "Your aircraft can only fly in the physical sense. True flying is a leap of the soul."

"A leap of the mind?" Qiqi almost fell down. "Are you asking us to become supermen? A leap of the mind?"

"That's right," the wise cat slowly stood up, his eyes deep, "When you can establish a true connection with nature and the aircraft, you can be said to have mastered the true essence of flying."

"What you said does make sense." Zhang Meng suddenly realized, "Aircraft is not just a technology, it should be a connection between humans and nature!"

"Yes! Your aircraft is not just a product of technology, it is a symbol of your spirit and will." The wise cat nodded, "So, the real challenge is not to find the golden fruit, but to find the flying heart in your heart."

"So that's how it is!" Qing'er suddenly realized, "Then our aircraft should have a deeper connection with us, rather than just relying on the power of the golden fruit."

"That's right!" The wise cat smiled slightly, "This is the true meaning of your flying."

"I understand!" Zhang Meng suddenly jumped up, "Not only is it an aircraft, our flight should also be a journey that connects to our souls!"

"Hey, wait!" Qiqi suddenly covered her stomach, "I think I'm hungry!"

The three were speechless for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Okay, let's take a break and eat something, then we'll continue working hard!" Zhang Meng patted Qiqi's shoulder, "Today is our breakthrough day!"

"That's right! We still have to work hard to create a flying vehicle that can fly far and high!" Qing'er said excitedly.

"I suddenly have an idea!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, "We can combine the aircraft with... just like the wise cat said, and combine it with the power within us!"

"You want to link the aircraft with your soul?" Qiqi smacked his lips, "Wouldn't that mean you become the aircraft's soul mate?"

"No matter what, the new breakthrough of aircraft starts from here!" Zhang Meng said firmly, "Let's go back and improve our aircraft!"

The three of them continued to move toward their goal, their hearts filled with new faith and courage.
