My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

The pilot in the plane was Major Del, a U.S. ace pilot.

Today he is going to test a spacecraft whose development had been halted but was restarted due to the new president's slogan of making America great again.

aurora!

The Aurora, also known as the Goddess of Dawn, was originally intended by the United States to be a new generation of strategic reconnaissance aircraft to replace the Blackbird.

This aircraft has been under development since the 80s, almost 40 years ago, but its technical specifications are still at the top of the world.

The final version of the aurora aircraft is planned to fly at Mach 7 at the edge of the atmosphere.

It can complete a round-the-world flight in a very short time.

Because of its speed and altitude, there are virtually no means of interception in the world.

Unfortunately, due to strategic positioning reasons, the development of Aurora was interrupted in the 90s due to the development of drone and satellite technologies.

Only now, in order to suppress the rising Chinese air force, have the Americans taken it out of the warehouse again.

"Goddess One, the runway is cleared, you are ready for takeoff."

The voice of the control tower came through the walkie-talkie.

"Goddess One received. Begin final checks."

While responding, Del began conducting a final pre-flight check of the aircraft's various functions.

The controller in the control tower tonight was an old friend of Del's. He sensed a hint of nervousness in the man's voice and joked:

"Goddess Number One, are you a little nervous? The lady you're dealing with tonight isn't young, so be careful she doesn't throw a tantrum."

"No, I have my own set of tips on how to deal with older women."

Del retorted without backing down.

But his tone still betrayed his guilty conscience.

This Aurora was designed back in the 80s.

Although the prototype aircraft he is currently in has been modified and uses many of the latest technologies, its most basic fuselage is actually the prototype aircraft produced 40 years ago.

Even with improvements made inside and out, a relic from over 40 years ago still raises doubts about its reliability.

At that moment, another voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Del recognized the other person as the person in charge of the restarted Dawn Goddess Project.

"Don't worry, Colonel Del, our technicians have already verified the performance of this aircraft. Although it was designed 40 years ago, the improved version is still the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world!"

"Especially its pulse detonation engine, which can let you experience Mach 10 speed instantly. Compared to that, I am actually more worried about whether you can handle such a heavy load."

Del retorted, not to be outdone, "Don't worry, sir. As long as this lady can hold on, I'll be fine!"

"Alright, let's confirm your mission one last time!"

"Climb to an altitude of 100 kilometers and begin global cruise, maintaining Mach 10 for at least 60 seconds, sir."

After Del finished answering, the control tower instructed, "Goddess I, take off!"

"Goddess One, takeoff!"

Upon hearing the instruction, Del, having completed the inspection, slammed on the accelerator.

The Aurora reconnaissance aircraft, with its triangular fuselage, roared into the air and flew off the runway in an instant, soaring to an altitude of 600 feet.

At this point, its speed had already exceeded Mach 3.5!

“Ughhahahaha!!!”

Inside the plane, Del's excited screams rang out.

But at that moment, an engineer frantically broke into the command center on the ground.

"Sir! There's an emergency!"

"what happened?"

All eyes turned to the engineer, who was raising his right hand with a helpless expression.

In the palm of his hand were two screws.

"Um... our ground crew found two screws in the hangar, they look like they came from the Aurora."

"Wang Defa!"

The person in charge ripped off his headset and rushed to him.

"you sure?"

"Sure?"

The person in charge was so angry he wanted to tear him apart with his own hands.

The plane that just took off has two screws left on the ground. Who the hell knows if there will be any problems with the experiment?

"Damn it! Who's in charge of ground crew today? Could it be one of those Indians?"

"Sir, Rajesh is not Indian; he is an Indian-American."

The person in charge was speechless at what many engineers said.

"So what the hell is the difference? Didn't I say I couldn't let those Indians get close to my plane?"

"But everyone else is on vacation tonight, and Rajesh is the only ground crew member..."

"Fuck! Why did Area 51 let those Indians in? Have you been isolated in this desert for too long and don't know the legends of the Indian ground crew?"

India's air force has the highest number of crashes in the world.

All of this is thanks to the excellent ground crew of the Indian Brothers.

There's a rumor that when the Indians first bought their planes, everything was fine, but if the ground crew bumped into them even once, the probability of them crashing would increase a hundredfold.

The engineer tried to argue, "Sir, that's just a legend..."

"Then tell me what's with the screws in your hand?!"

The person in charge was completely helpless.

Compared to 40 years ago, the number of white engineers in the United States is decreasing.

The elite either become doctors, finance professionals, or lawyers.

As a result, many U.S. military industrial companies have had to hire a large number of non-white engineers.

Even secret bases like Area 51 are like this.

When the person in charge discovered that there were people of Indian descent at the base, he had given them a stern warning not to approach his plane.

Despite all the precautions, they were caught off guard during the Aurora's secret test flight.

I just hope this time I'm overthinking things.

It's just two screws, it shouldn't affect the safety of the Aurora, right?

Just as the person in charge was silently praying, a voice suddenly rang out behind him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Sir! The oxygen supply system malfunction indicator light on the Aurora is on!"

……

At this moment, on the highway outside Lincolnshire.

Lin Chen was driving at night, but the faster he went, the more uneasy he felt.

He hadn't seen a road sign leading to Las Vegas in a long time.

On the contrary, Lincolnshire, which should be on the other side, appears frequently on road signs as people pass by.

"Strange, given the speed at which they're looking for me, I should be close to Las Vegas. Did I take the wrong route?"

Just then, a point of light suddenly rose from the horizon in the night sky in front of Lin Chen.

On this pitch-black highway, the distant lights shone as brightly as the moon in the night.

Not long after Lin Chen saw the light, a sharp shriek came from outside the window, and he could even feel the car window vibrating.

"Holy crap! What's that? A UFO?"

and many more……

UFO?

Nevada?

Did I somehow end up near Area 51?

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

As he got out of the car, he could still see the distant lights rapidly rising.

But then, the point of light suddenly vanished from his sight at an incredible speed.

Holy shit!

No way?

Did I really see a UFO?
