Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 733: Aerial Combat
Regardless of whether there was a problem with the ground defense system, Li Chengxi didn't care at all. He cared more about the appearance of enemy planes.

It's time to go.

After flexing his fingers, Li Chengxi quickly closed the hatch and started the engine.

"Wait, you want to go up and help?"

"Now is the time to take action. Hurry up and take out the pressure suit hidden behind the driver's seat and put it on. I'm going to do some serious work."

Alyssa didn't just buy one stress-resistant suit. In addition to using it for the recruited teammates, she also had to have a spare one.

The engine made a wonderful running sound, and strong winds blew out from under the Manta. All the sounds were accurately transmitted to Li Chengxi's ears through the Bluetooth speaker behind the headrest.

Oh, it’s just right, that’s the feeling.

The Manta Ray took off slowly. At this time, Alyssa ran out of the farm house and waved to Li Chengxi.

"I'll be back soon. A few pirates are not a big problem."

Leaving these words behind, the Manta took off vertically to the predetermined height, and then flew away in a whoosh.

——You can imagine how upset Alyssa was.

Fang Lanyin had just put on her pressure suit, put herself on the chair and fastened her seat belt.

She suddenly said:
"It's broken. Your attitude stabilizer has not been installed yet."

"what is that?"

"It's used to assist in stabilizing the attitude. Without it, the aircraft won't automatically trim."

Having said that, Li Chengxi also discovered that the wings of the Manta Ray began to roll left and right after takeoff, and needed to be manually maintained to ensure a smooth flight.

"Is it too late to pretend now?"

"At the maintenance window below the cabin. We need to land the shuttle first."

"It's not a big problem. I can handle manual trim. Besides, it seems that I don't have time to land and slowly install it."

Fang Lanyin looked up when she heard that, and saw two shuttles painted with skull patterns flying from above, firing a string of tracer bullets the moment they met.

It felt like a cannonball was heading for her face, and Fang Lanyin reflexively put her hands up to protect her eyes.

She thought she was dead, but she only felt a spin and did not feel any burning explosion.

Escaped?

As this thought popped into her mind, Fang Lanyin saw an orange flash reflected on the cockpit glass.

"First the first one!"

Li Chengxi's slightly excited voice made Fang Lanyin realize that he had just destroyed a pirate shuttle.

"how did you do that?"

"Ah? Is this difficult? They are just a bunch of noobs who only know how to fight BZ and don't know how to defend against high-angle fire."

What does BZ mean and what does high angle of attack shooting mean?
Fang Lanyin was good at dealing with machinery, but had no idea about any air combat terminology.

"I suggest you wear your mask, you're going to be a little dizzy."

Fang Lanyin quickly put on the mask. There was a "pop" sound as the exhaust was locked, followed by the suffocating G-force that pressed Fang Lanyin firmly into the seat.

The Manta climbed 90 degrees in a slightly swaying posture. A series of shells with tracers flew past from both sides, as if they were brushing the edge of the Manta.

Fang Lanyin knew that Li Chengxi had accurately avoided every shell, because the shield energy of the Manta Ray had not decreased at all. At the same time, the engine sound seemed to be decreasing, and Fang Lanyin saw that the engine power had dropped significantly.

She thought there might be something wrong with the engine, which had not yet been repaired.

This was certainly not a problem with the engine, but Li Chengxi gradually shut down the engine's output.

The Manta was climbing straight up in the sky, but as the engine power decreased, the aircraft inevitably slowed down and eventually began to fall.

This maneuver startled the pirate shuttle that was chasing behind. It looked like the Manta was going to hit it in the face, so it quickly yanked the joystick to avoid it.

As soon as he dodged, the engine of the Manta Ray started up again. Amid the roar of the engine, the Manta Ray, which was in a falling leaf state, turned into a spin and accelerated to catch up with the dodging pirate shuttle from behind.

"You saw the pendulum move and you chased after me? You hit me on the head, right?"

If you use this trick on a space fighter, you might end up with a problem, after all, the maneuverability of a space fighter is not comparable to that of a shuttle, but the pirates obviously don't have such a powerful machine.

Just now it was Li Chengxi who was biting the pirate's back, but now it was Li Chengxi who was biting the pirate's back. The other pilot pulled the joystick and swayed it left and right to try to interfere with Li Chengxi's shooting.

But it's useless. I can't even use the defensive roller. I can only be more careful in my next life.

The shaking left and right did not disturb him at all, and he easily found the pattern and seized the brief shooting window.

With the slight shake of the machine gun firing, the shield energy of the opponent's shuttle was quickly emptied, and at the same time two ion beams penetrated the smoke, igniting it into a fireball.

The Manta Ray didn't even look at the shuttle that was falling towards the farmland. The throttle lever was pushed to the maximum and it flew straight towards the starry sky.

Although air combat in the atmosphere is somewhat interesting, Li Chengxi has already played a flight simulation game during the day and is somewhat bored.

In comparison, the void is better. Without air resistance, you can perform more incredible maneuvers.

Although the Alan Starlink has an atmosphere, it does not have a thick atmosphere. Whether the shuttle is going down or up, it will pass directly without causing air brakes.

As the mist-like atmosphere in front of it disappeared, the Manta flew out of the Alan Star Chain and into the void.

It is much more lively here than down there. Countless beams of light tear through the darkness of the void. Clusters of orange flashes dot the dark background of the universe, their brightness even surpassing that of the stars, forming a fascinating galaxy.

"Send an IFF signal to the planetary defense force. Don't shoot me down by mistake."

Fang Lanyin was still surprised at Li Chengxi's amazing driving skills. Only after hearing what he said did she react and quickly tapped on the main control panel.

The Alan Starlink is literally a "chain". It is impossible for the Manta Ray to defend the entire Starlink with just one shuttle.

We can see that the pirates' shuttle is trying to bypass the planetary defense team's space fighters and enter the Alan Star Chain, so instead of waiting for the pirates in orbit, it is better to rush directly into the most lively battlefield.

"The Planetary Defense Force has sent us permission. From now on, all your attacks against pirates are legal."

The planetary defense force does not rule out residents helping to fight pirates themselves. Their ideas are somewhat similar to those of America during the westward movement, and the idea of ​​taking up arms to protect themselves is deeply rooted.

Now that the friend-or-foe identification signal is available, things will be easy.

"Hold on tight, don't bite your tongue."

Fang Lanyin immediately grabbed the armrest on the driver's seat, and the Manta flew at top speed towards the group of pirates and planetary defense carrier-based aircraft fighting each other.

If it was Alyssa, she would just think, "Fuck it. If you want to help, why don't you just stay in the orbital area? Why do you have to run to the most intense battlefield?"

But Fang Lanyin is different from Alyssa. Through the mask, you can see Fang Lanyin smiling.

It is a smile of excitement that says goodbye to a boring life and starts an exciting adventure.
