"I see. I wondered why I didn't hear the slightest rumor......"

Speaking of this, Ji Yuehua paused, and the afterglow of the corner of her eyes swept over the faces of Bayi Yonglin and Ling Chujing, intentionally or unintentionally.

As the main force of the permanent No. 1 ranking of the Technology Development Bureau, it is needless to say that it is impossible for her not to know about this matter. On the other hand, considering that this was a major breakthrough that would allow the Thirteenth Fleet of the Military Department to change its previous mode of action, Ling Chujing, as one of the thirteen admirals, could not be ignorant.

If you think about it this way, Ruoxiwan's "accomplice" statement is quite convincing.

If it were someone else, this kind of deliberate concealment might make him angry, at least "unpleasant" is unavoidable. However, the object is one of his favorite sisters and the person he likes, and Ji Yuehua can only feel helpless.

In any case, you can't exclude the "main culprit" from the blacklist because of personal feelings, and then vent all your dissatisfaction on the juniors who obviously have no choice...... Pretending not to hear anything was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuehua sighed softly and opened the map handed to him by Bayi Yonglin. Then, the moment your eyes fall on the map—————

"That's really...... Unbelievable. ”

————— was completely stunned.

Not only the inland sea and the entire territory of the country, but also many places that should have been blank have been filled. The map handed to him by Bayi Yonglin was at least ten times the size of the map used by the 13th Division of the Army Headquarters in the past.

Although this is, to a certain extent, the achievements accumulated by the entire military department in the present age of navigation in almost five years, it is too exaggerated to expand to this extent.

In addition, there is information about the location of the island, information about the sea, whether there are "Mythical Crystal" deposits on the island, where the mine is located, and even whether there are traces of alien creatures on the island.

The information on this map is so detailed that one can't help but wonder if it's a fake. Of course, his second sister and genius boss would not joke about this kind of thing, and Ji Yuehua still has this level of knowledge.

"Surely you've heard of aviation technology, which has been a topic of conversation in history in the past, right?"

Just when Ji Yuehua was surprised by the breakthrough made by the military department on the world map in the past few years, Ruoxi Wan over there also began to explain intimately.

It seems that because he didn't think that he would actually stand on the same front as him, Ruoxiwan at this moment seems to be in a good mood, with a vibrant smile on her face.

Facing her second sister's question, Ji Yuehua nodded slightly.

He is also a former general staff of the military department, one of the former supreme power holders in this country, and the so-called aviation flight, of course, he can't have not heard of it.

Originally, it was a concept derived from a certain pair of brothers, and to put it bluntly, it was just a "rhapsody". However, the brothers spent a lifetime of energy and time turning this "wild dream" into a possibility, and finally succeeded in building the first vehicle in history that could fly stably.

On the day of their successful experiment, newspapers and telegrams quickly brought the news to every corner of human society, and the whole country celebrated the event. However, their success did not bring about the expected drastic change in human society, and the technology gradually became submerged in history.

As far as Ji Yuehua knows, there are roughly three reasons for this result.

First, in order to avoid affecting the existing human society, the two brothers deliberately chose a very remote place as a base to expand their business, but they did not expect that the defense line of the military headquarters was broken in the next invasion of alien creatures, and the location of their factory happened to be affected, and the brothers also died in that invasion. This pair of great men died before they succeeded in popularizing their results.

Secondly, while it is extremely exciting to be able to fly in the sky, the territory of the Republic of Sounivia is not so large that it has to rely on flying technology. At that time, the technology of railroads was already quite advanced, and overseas was a magical land infested with alien creatures————— there was no need to go where it was needed, and no one wanted to go where it could not go, and the lack of "necessity" led to a cold reaction within the Diet, and no one in civil society talked about it soon after the initial boom had passed.

The only thing that still focused on this technology was the Ministry of the Army, which at that time had been somewhat separated from the Diet, which was responsible for the executive, legislative, and other functions.

Those places occupied by alien creatures are naturally forbidden places that cannot be touched by ordinary people. However, for the military that needs to compete with them and one day set foot on overseas soil, this is a technology that will definitely be used in the future. With this in mind, the 13th Division of the Military Department secretly made a big investment in aviation technology for a certain period of time. It's a pity...... Soon after that, an important breakthrough was made in the technology of "mystima", which went from theoretically feasible to practical. Compared to "the technology that may be used in the future", of course, "the power that can compete with the alien creatures at the moment is more important", and the military leaders at that time immediately adjusted the focus of investment, putting all resources on the research and enhancement of the "mystical stigma".

With the increase in the number and scale of invasions of alien creatures, at least in the past few decades, the 13th Division of the Military Department has been focusing on the "mythical technology", and aviation-related matters can be said to be unconcerned.

Although Ji Yuehua had heard about this during his tenure in the Technology Development Bureau, he didn't set his eyes on it like his other predecessors. Of course, he didn't see any of the Eight Meanings or other members of the Technology Development Bureau privately developing related technologies.

I didn't expect that after only four and a half years of leaving the Technology Development Bureau, the technical staff led by Yonglin Bayi and the scientists recruited during the expansion of the Technology Development Bureau were able to achieve this point, turning it from a relic of history into an important technology that can be used in the present day...... If he didn't feel admiration, it must be fake.

"It's been a while since you've been concentrating on your work...... No, in fact, the idea has been around since a few years ago, and I privately commissioned Director Wing Lin to develop a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that can be controlled from a distance and transmit images to the Technology Development Bureau in real time with a private remote-controlled toy. The initial success of this research was finally achieved half a year ago, and it was not until a month ago that Director Wing Lam made the final adjustments, and the technology was officially put into practical use. ”
