Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 200: Section 200 - Advanced Training Class



A lot of scrap metal can't just be tossed at the airport causing pollution.

Absorb!

System: Ding! Absorbed Alloy Body 1000 tons (daily limit), composition percentage: Iron 45%, Aluminum 27%, Manganese 10%, Titanium 9%…

+1000 Energy Points!

Energy Points: 1081/5000

This was the daily limit for the "Metal Devouring" Skill; exceeding it wouldn't lead to absorption, nor would it grant Energy Points.

So even if Chen Fei were given an aircraft carrier, he'd be at a loss.

Taking advantage of the "Hi-Fi Replication" still being on the list in the Skill Shop, he quickly seized it.

-1000 energy points!

Energy Points: 81/5000

Energy points are great, but they really don't last long with spending!

Early the next day.

+1000 energy points!

Energy Points: 1081/5000

Old David had brought in a giant block of discarded metal from the town that was now missing a third, and Chen Fei casually spent 2 energy points to add an F-22 "Raptor" Jet Fighter to the old man's exhibition hall.

It was a model that could only light up the cockpit but couldn't start the engine, fully sufficient for display purposes.

The one that could actually fly was parked inside the hangar.

Chen Fei secretly activated the "Universal Data Transceiver" skill, pressing a finger on the data port of Old David's tablet, he exfiltrated all data regarding the F-22 "Raptor" Jet Fighter, making it the first spoil of war for another skill, the "File Management Plugin."

The Dog System interface now featured an additional "My Documents."

After leaving the exhibition hall, Chen Fei arrived at the flight training class, the time was just perfect, exactly nine in the morning.

"Chen Fei, good morning!"

Instructor Ramaya von Kennedy took the initiative to greet him.

Being able to repair an old aircraft like the F-22 was enough to earn his respect, moving from a repair technician class to a flight training class, this young man was certainly no ordinary person. Even among supernatural power users, few could achieve this.

"Good morning, Instructor Kamura!"

The other's status in Jianghu was very high; Chen Fei didn't dare to put on airs and hurriedly responded.

The other three students from the same period looked him up and down in amazement, sensing that the two seemed to have already known each other.

"Find a seat for yourself!"

Instructor Ramaya pointed at the many spots available in the classroom.

The classroom, which could accommodate forty students, had only four including Chen Fei.

This was an advanced training class with enrollment thresholds; zero foundation was definitely not acceptable, at a minimum one should be able to independently pilot a propeller aircraft, hence the smaller number of students.

The American Federation's air force elite certainly wouldn't bother teaching those who hadn't even touched a control stick, managing four students was just fine.

The place was spacious, and Chen Fei immediately picked a spot, settling down his pencil case and notebook diligently.

"Since everyone made it here, I presume you all have some flying experience. Let's start with self-introductions, beginning with me. My name is Ramaya von Kennedy, my flight call is 'Sloth,' I served in the Federal Air Force's 223rd Squadron, as a squadron leader of the 'Papens' squadron, with 11 kills."

Instructor Ramaya stood straight as a javelin, immobile, his voice particularly booming.

When he last mentioned having 11 kills, a small gasp echoed through the classroom.

Wow, one more kill, and that would be the splendid record of a triple ace.

Afraid to intimidate these young people, Instructor Ramaya didn't mention his experience participating in the "Abyss Coliseum."

Being able to return alive from the "Abyss Coliseum" meant one had the potential to become a Sky Knight.

The four students exchanged glances, and one of them took the lead, saying, "My name is Ashka Copernicus, call sign 'Pumpkin,' I have 345 flying hours, an employee of Milan International Logistics Company, aspiring to be a cargo aircraft pilot."

For him, this advanced training class was just one part of the company-sponsored training.

The second student followed immediately, saying, "My name is Karan Phillips, call sign 'Piranha,' I have 287 flying hours, from the Flying Fish Business Aviation Company, previously an HR Director, now transitioning to a pilot."

It turned out to be in the order of entering the classroom.

The third student glanced at Chen Fei and introduced himself, "Tempun Schneider, flight code 'Panda Claw,' 240 flying hours, hoping to find a job with a military contractor."

If there were no corporate wars, a job with a military contractor could be a pretty decent one, albeit in a harsh environment as the aircrew bases spread across various regions of Blue Star were almost all in barren and cold areas.

But with a weapon at hand, a killer instinct arises by itself; once a corporate war breaks out, living human lives become as dispensable as lamplight, never knowing when they might extinguish.

Chen Fei couldn't help but take another look at him before saying, "I'm Chen Fei, call sign 'Rookie,' with 62 flying hours."

The other three trainees were taken aback, glancing at each other, realizing they had a true rookie among them in this training session.

Instructor Ramaya's shoulders twitched, "62 hours of flight experience, truly a 'rookie' indeed!"

Chen Fei was embarrassed to report his kill count, fearing it would scare them.

Starting off with a dragon, the kind that would crash and burn on the spot.

"62 hours, very good, at least it's not zero, right?"

Instructor Ramaya awkwardly masked her embarrassment,

As a real pilot, provoking a highly skilled technician was definitely not a wise move.

"Let's move on. What types of aircraft have you all flown? Ashka, you first!"

"M-39 biplane agricultural aircraft and L-22 primary trainer aircraft."

"Karan?"

"L-22 primary trainer aircraft."

"Tempun?"

"EMB-130 primary trainer aircraft."

"'Rookie'?"

"A-39B 'Big Mouth Monster' and my own assembled gyroplane."

Chen Fei really had nothing remarkable to mention, his flying credentials weren't as glittering as those of the other students; just surviving was no easy feat for him.

Everyone was taken aback. Why had everyone else started with proper primary trainers, and you jumped right into a turboprop fighter?

To prevent the three other trainees from staring oddly at Chen Fei all the time, Instructor Ramaya took the initiative to say, "Ah! 'Rookie' Chen Fei is also a particularly skilled technician, having just received his maintenance qualification for the A-39B 'Big Mouth Monster', MiG-28, and other various aircraft."

So that's how it was, repairing and repairing and then flying!

After all, proximity facilitates early opportunity!

The three trainees automatically filled in what they thought were the answers.

In reality, that was far from the truth. The truth was far more brutal than what they might imagine.

"Okay, introductions are over, let's move on to the next part, the flight simulation. Please, follow me."

Instructor Ramaya clapped her hands, signaling for the four trainees to follow her.

As they walked, she explained, "Jet and propeller aircraft don't differ too much. From their names, you can tell, their engines determine their speed, altitude, and maneuverability; we'll need to carefully balance the power..."

As an ace pilot of the Federal Air Force, her authoritative evaluation naturally carried weight.

The group soon arrived at a large spacious room, where ten mechanical units about the size of a small van were lined up in a row.

"Flight simulator?"

Not just Chen Fei, the other three trainees also exclaimed in unison, recognizing the name of these mechanical units.

911 Aircrew Base lacked two-seat jet trainers and flight simulators, which was why Chen Fei traveled all the way to this private airstrip training class in America to learn about light jet flying, thanks to Hanna Gagar's network.

In fact, those who could come here for training, whether technicians or pilots, were almost always connected individuals. Ordinary people couldn't even find the registration method or channels.

Even Chen Fei, who had the least flying hours, had at least 62 hours of flying experience. Instructor Ramaya pointed directly at the mechanical units and said, "It seems you all know what these are, so I won't explain too much. Pick one and try it out."

Teaching an advanced training class had its benefits, as it saved a lot of talking about basic knowledge. Just a little guidance on key points could effectively complete the teaching.

With the aid of flight simulators, it became even simpler; just fly and that's it, since no one dies in simulators, and you can crash as much as you need; eventually, you'll learn to fly jets, roughly and simply.

Almost everyone got trained this way.

Moreover, with the experience of flying propeller-driven primary trainer aircraft, this adjustment process would be even shorter.

Chen Fei didn't have a conventional path through professional primary training aircraft like the others, but the "Big Mouth Monster" inherently had the genes of a primary trainer, and when used in flight instruction mode, it worked just the same.

Upon his first encounter with the flight simulator, Chen Fei didn't feel unfamiliar because inside the simulator, it looked exactly the same as a real light jet, even the cockpit interfaces for different aircraft types, which were basically very similar.

The cockpit of the flight simulator that Chen Fei chose was set to the American Federal Air Force fighter control interface, virtually identical to the MiG-28 and F-22, with all control zones in familiar locations, which saved the trouble of switching.

He turned on the power button that real planes don't have, put on an aviation helmet equipped with SVR imaging lenses, and finally, the flight simulator's system completed its boot-up; three seconds later, the self-diagnosis ended, and it was time to select the aircraft model.

He almost chose the F-22, which he had recently managed to replicate, but he was most familiar with the MiG-28.

After selecting, the control interface before his eyes disappeared, and the surroundings transformed into a simulation scene.

Looking left and right, he was in a MiG-28 jet fighter on the tarmac, with the main runway and the airport buildings on the opposite side clearly resembling those of the Eagle-Nest private airport, just like the real thing.

The SVR lenses combined with the panoramic cockpit canopy could almost deceive reality.
