Meng Chao was now hiding behind a huge propeller blade.

Since the crystal engine driving the propeller had not been activated, the propeller blade remained stationary. In addition, the airbag itself blocked his vision. In the next fifty-seven seconds, he did not have to worry, he would be discovered by the patrolling drones.

But he had to jump 17.35 meters to reach the outside of the core pod where Lu Siya was about to be delivered.

Then he had to open a passage from the outside of the core pod to sneak in and reach Lu Siya.

There are tunnels.

For the flexibility of independent operations, each modular unit of the Golden Roc is made up of airbags, engines, propellers, and pods.

In order to repair the propellers and crystal engines from the outside when they were attacked, there was often a maintenance channel between the crystal engines and the propellers, which could be opened from the inside so that the maintenance personnel could climb out and carry out emergency damage management.

The problem was that the entrance and exit of such a maintenance channel obviously opened and closed from the inside.

One could only feel a few cracks and rivets on the outside. No matter how powerful it was, it was difficult to open it forcefully. Even if one opened it forcefully, one would be discovered by the alarm system.

Meng Chao pondered for a moment. His vitality magnetic field surged, and his five senses expanded like tentacles. He carefully scanned the modular unit that he was hiding in.

As expected, the module that he was hiding in also had its own maintenance channel. The entrance and exit were also tightly sealed by a thick hatch cover.

Of course, a Deity Realm powerhouse’s perception was like mercury that could penetrate through everything. No matter how thick the hatch was, it was impossible to completely block it.

Meng Chao’s perception turned into thousands of strands and penetrated through the gaps of the hatch cover.

He carefully studied the structure of the hatch cover and the way the hatch cover and the bulkhead were locked.

He found that the hatch cover on the Golden Roc had borrowed the structure of the submarine’s hatch cover. There were a total of three sealing and locking systems inside and outside.

That was not surprising. After all, the Golden Roc was a battle fortress that needed to engage in aerial combat with ferocious high-level monsters at a height of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters.

If the hatch cover was so easily destroyed from the outside, causing the internal temperature to lose pressure, and leading to the invasion of external enemies, then the so-called Air Forward Base Project would become a huge joke.

If it was an ordinary Deity Realm expert, especially a first-generation Deity Realm fighter who purely pursued strength, it would be quite a difficult task to open the airtight maintenance hatch cover from the outside and sneak into Golden Roc undetected.

Fortunately, Meng Chao was different.

He had swallowed the power of the original mother, and his body contained countless nanobots from the other side of the galaxy—the spirit magnet. He was a new-generation supreme expert who had grasped the ultimate strength and was making great progress toward surpassing the Deity Realm. He was a “Deity Realm 2.0” fighter, who was even better than Lei Zongchao, Shen Yuanbao, and Lu Zhongqi, the first-generation Deity Realm warriors!

There were only forty-four seconds left before the nearest drone discovered him.

Meng Chao had already studied the structure of the airtight cabin cover on the Golden Roc and the alarm system surrounding the cover.

Then, he used another five seconds to construct a three-dimensional model of the airtight cabin cover in his mind and tried repeatedly to find a way to crack it.

“First of all, we have to consider the problem of the internal and external air pressure and temperature difference. Although this is only a few hundred meters in the air and the wind today isn’t too strong, there must be a difference in pressure and temperature between the inside and outside of the cabin.

“Once one of the cabin covers is suddenly opened, the temperature and pressure detection system inside the cabin will definitely discover it and report it to the surveillance center in time.

“As long as the surveillance center finds that there are no external maintenance missions in the area during that period of time, it can be determined that someone has hacked in.

“Therefore, before opening the maintenance hatch cover, I must first disable the temperature and pressure detection system inside the cabin. I must disable it for at least eight to ten seconds so that I can sneak in and close the hatch cover.

“Secondly, there are a total of twelve drones patrolling around the core pod. The strong wind just now disturbed seven of them, creating a few flaws.

“But these few flaws will at most buy me twenty-five seconds, a safe time that is not scanned.

“Although I can create a few more air turbulence and make more drones lose control, doing so would be too obvious, and it would easily arouse the other party’s suspicion.

“Fortunately, the triple lock system of the maintenance cabin cover is difficult to break through by brute force from the outside, but as long as my power can penetrate the interior and simulate the hands of the maintenance personnel, it won’t take more than ten seconds to activate according to the normal procedures.”

With a thought, a layer of crystal clear substance that looked like liquid mercury immediately seeped out of the pores of Meng Chao’s hands.

This was the Mother of Origin’s gift, the highest technological crystallization of the prehistoric Turan civilization, the spirit magnet.

This kind of nano-robot that had artificial intelligence and the ability to work independently was not as simple as being able to condense into an indestructible armor.

In fact, as a kind of ever-changing tool, it was used to develop, manufacture, and maintain all sorts of incredible dark technological creations, to push civilization to the peak of prosperity—this was the original purpose of the spirit magnet’s development.

There were still twenty-seven seconds left.

Meng Chao calculated everything clearly.

When a drone had just flown under his feet and was only a hair’s length away from his toes.

Meng Chao took a deep breath and shot toward the core pod not far away.

Two more drones appeared in front of him.

Unfortunately, because of the turbulence in the air, the two drones slightly deflected. Their cameras happened to be at different angles, leaving a dead angle of about thirty-six degrees in the middle.

When they turned the camera around, Meng Chao had already entered the dead angle and jumped over the top that they could not scan.

Before the fourth drone came to patrol, Meng Chao had already landed on the shell of the core pod.

He was like a withered leaf… no, like a speck of dust. When he gently fell down, he did not make any noise or cause the slightest vibration. It was as if he had been stuck on the core pod since the beginning of the Golden Roc’s construction, he had been stuck on it.

On his left, from the superalloy frames on both sides of the airbag and the supporting wings that extended all the way out, there were four enormous crystal engines and four astonishing propellers.

The sunlight cast a golden glow on these propellers, making them like incomparably sharp giant blades. When they were operating at full speed, they were meat grinders that could turn Apocalyptic Beasts into minced meat.

Meng Chao’s gaze did not linger on the magnificent propellers for even half a second.

He slid all the way down to the joint of the propellers and the crystal engine, instantly scanning the gaps there.
