Chapter 927 New Inventions and Sudden Challenges
"Why are you so slow?" Zhang Meng leaned against a tree, holding a branch and poking the ground casually. Looking at Qiqi and Qing'er standing next to him, his face was full of helplessness, "I've already said that the faster the aircraft is improved this time, the better!"
"Who told you to abandon us and go looking for golden fruit?" Qiqi complained while wiping his sweat. "We have been chasing you for a long time. How come you are only here now?"
Qing'er smiled slightly: "However, Zhang Meng is right, we still have to complete the aircraft modification as soon as possible. After all, once the aircraft is successful, our goal will be further!"
"Hey, we don't want to fly higher, but we want to fly farther!" Zhang Meng stood up straight with a firm look in his eyes, "Only by flying farther can we see a wider world!"
"Come on, you're talking about dreams again." Qiqi clapped his hands lazily, with a smile on his face, "Listening to you talk about this, you sound like an ancient person."
"Dreams can change everything!" Zhang Meng patted his chest and said firmly, "How far the aircraft can fly depends entirely on how far we can go!"
"Well, let's go as far as we can." Qiqi rolled his eyes, "But now we have a more urgent matter."
"What's the matter?" Qing'er frowned.
"Don't ask yet." Qiqi took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Zhang Meng, "Take a look at this first."
Zhang Meng took the box and opened it. Inside was a glowing blue crystal. The crystal emitted a strange light, as if it had some mysterious power.
"This is..." Zhang Meng's eyes widened, "Could this be..."
"Yes, we just happened to pass that place and found it by accident." Qiqi raised his eyebrows, with a sly look in his eyes. "Blue crystal can enhance the power of the aircraft, especially its propulsion system!"
"Is it true?" Qing'er came closer. "I've heard of this kind of crystal. Its energy can mobilize the surrounding magnetic field and increase the speed and stability of the aircraft."
"You also know these?" Qiqi raised an eyebrow, "You are really knowledgeable!"
"Hey, although this thing is mysterious, how should we use it?" Zhang Meng looked at the crystal over and over again, "Should we put it in the aircraft?"
"Of course." Qiqi shook his hands, "But before putting it in, we have to test its strength first."
Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "However, testing this thing is not a trivial matter. If something goes wrong, we will be in trouble."
Zhang Meng didn't care and waved his hand: "What's the problem? Aren't we trying to break through the limits? Even if we encounter some difficulties, it's nothing!"
"But..." Qing'er frowned, "What if something goes wrong?"
"An accident?" Zhang Meng didn't seem to care. "Don't think too much. We can find a way to solve the problem. It's just a flying machine. We can destroy it and rebuild it!"
Qiqi couldn't help laughing: "Oh, why do I feel like you're getting more and more powerful? You dare to say that?"
Zhang Meng spread his hands and said, "I know you don't understand. The true spirit of innovation is to dare to take risks!"
"Yes, yes. Taking risks is the first step to innovation." Qiqi made a face. "But let's go back and install this crystal on the aircraft and see. Anyway, you said it, it's okay."
"That's decided then." Zhang Meng said, "Let's go and get the aircraft ready!"
The three of them began to walk towards where they parked the aircraft. Along the way, Zhang Meng began to excitedly imagine what the aircraft would look like after it was successfully completed. The scene of them flying high and far kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
However, after taking a few steps, Qiqi suddenly stopped, looked towards the woods in the distance, and seemed to hear some strange sounds.
"Did you hear that?" Qiqi suddenly asked in a low voice.
"What?" Qing'er also stopped and frowned.
"It's over there." Qiqi pointed to the woods in the distance.
"What did you hear?" Zhang Meng slowed down and looked in the direction Qiqi pointed, but saw nothing.
"You really can't hear it?" Qiqi frowned, "I heard some noises, like someone approaching."
Qing'er looked up and noticed something unusual in the air. The wind around her suddenly became a little faster, and the trees began to shake, as if something was approaching.
"Could it be those people who are following us?" Zhang Meng's face darkened. "Have we been discovered?"
"It's unlikely," Qing'er shook her head. "We should be careful and won't be found so quickly."
Just as they were discussing, a loud noise suddenly came from the woods in the distance, and a group of people in black rushed out quickly, with cold eyes and agile movements.
"Who are you?!" Zhang Meng took a step back vigilantly to block Qing'er and Qiqi.
"We are here to take our things back." The leading man in black said coldly, "The blue crystal belongs to us."
"You..." Zhang Meng was stunned, "How did you know?"
"Your actions have been exposed." The man in black sneered, "Do you think you can hide from us?"
"You want the crystal? No way!" Qiqi clenched his fists tightly. "You guys think you can take our things?"
"Do you think you can resist us?" The man in black waved his hand, and the atmosphere around him instantly became solemn. "If you don't hand over the crystal today, you will face serious consequences!"
Zhang Meng held the key to the aircraft tightly in his hand and turned to Qiqi and Qing'er: "These people don't look simple. We still have to deal with them first."
"Deal with them? How do you plan to deal with them?" Qiqi asked jokingly, "Do you want to attack the aircraft?"
"Then we have to use force!" Zhang Meng sneered, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "I don't believe that I can't defeat these people today!"
"I admire your courage, but do you have enough strength?" The man in black smiled sinisterly and waved his hand to signal his companions behind him to prepare for action.
Just as the two sides were about to confront each other, Zhang Meng suddenly patted his head: "Wait, I have an idea!"
"What idea?" Qing'er looked at him in confusion.
Zhang Meng's eyes widened: "Since they want the crystal, let's not let them get it!"
"What do you mean?" Qiqi still didn't quite understand.
"Easy!" Zhang Meng pointed to the distance, "Let's hide the crystal first, and then see how smart these people are!"
"You have this ability?" Qing'er couldn't help but laugh, "I really want to see how you operate it!"
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Just wait and see!"
