Chapter 404: Chapter 202: Stealth Aircraft

The drone could have quickly left South Korea and returned to China after destroying the ground systems and being attacked by three South Korean warships firing anti-aircraft missiles. If Yan Fei had chosen to do so at that time, the events that followed wouldn’t have happened.

However, Yan Fei didn’t do that because he suddenly thought of something: it had been a long time since his drone’s Merit Points had increased. If this continued, he had no idea when the drone could upgrade. Therefore, he wanted to gain some Merit Points from the South Korean warships.

Unlike the previous rate at which Merit Points were obtained, after the drone’s upgrade Merit Points had reached one hundred thousand, relying solely on shooting down enemy airplanes to gain Merit Points became too slow. Luckily, Yan Fei’s trip to Europe had revealed a new world to him, where sinking enemy warships awarded more Merit Points—a US Perry-class frigate could yield 10,000 points, while an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer reached 20,000.

The drone’s total accrued Merit Points were just over sixty thousand, still forty thousand points short of an upgrade. So, when Yan Fei discovered the South Korean navy’s warships on the sea surface, he didn’t leave immediately but intended to sink these ships to gain a massive amount of Merit Points and fulfill the first condition for the drone’s upgrade.

Yan Fei learned from some internet intelligence that although the South Korean navy owned new warships, their actual combat power was extremely poor, just like fat chickens delivering Merit Points. The actual combat outcomes proved that the South Korean navy, supposedly lacking in combat experience and terrified of death, was truly a rookie fleet that got suppressed by the drone throughout the fight. The drone achieved an overwhelming advantage in combat, sinking two South Korean warships, and realized Yan Fei’s initial intent of gaining Merit Points.

If the drone had encountered the experienced US Forces instead, it definitely wouldn’t have considered confronting the US military warships but would have chosen to leave directly. The US military warships are not only equipped with advanced technology but are also well-trained and, more importantly, possess a strong will to fight. If the drone faced off against them, it would surely be subjected to a concentrated assault from the US Navy, with no chance to scare them off. Consequently, the drone might at best damage the US warships but not necessarily sink even one, and it might also face danger itself.

Therefore, Yan Fei having encountered a solitary South Korean warship can be said to be his lucky day, picking a soft target that allowed him to demonstrate the immense combat potential of the drone.

Data statistics from the Auxiliary Brain afterward showed that the Sejong the Great, touted by the South Koreans as a mythological top Asian warship, was all bark and no bite, easily defeated. Although the Sejong the Great boasted a cruiser’s vast body and seemingly the most missile vertical launch tubes, the Merit gained for sinking her was only 20,000 points, the same as that for sinking a US Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. This showed that the Sejong the Great’s combat power was indeed not strong, at best equivalent to the strength of a US 7,000-ton class missile destroyer, and certainly not deserving the title of Asia’s top ship.

Another South Korean warship, the Choi Young, was also hyped by the domestic media and touted as the pride of South Korea, even claimed to be more formidable than the US Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Yet, this modern missile destroyer equipped with the US Aegis Combat System was rated by the drone somewhere between a Perry-class frigate and an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in terms of combat power, and sinking her only yielded a mere 15,000 Merit Points.

It is apparent that, though the South Korean navy’s warships are domestically manufactured, their strength has been mythologized by South Koreans and has somewhat not lived up to their hype. Such unreliable military warships, combined with a group of navy soldiers who are scared of death, mean the South Korean navy truly lacks combat power and is merely a big target for display.

After this long-range strike, the total Merit Points gained by the drone had exceeded 100,000, satisfying the first condition for another drone upgrade. Consequently, a grey upgrade button appeared on the drone’s virtual control screen, next to a blood-red question mark.

Yan Fei tried clicking the grey upgrade button, which unsurprisingly didn’t yield any response. He clicked the blood-red question mark, and an explanation immediately popped up.

“The drone is about to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5. This upgrade will comprehensively enhance the drone’s combat capabilities and add new functions to the drone. This upgrade will be the most crucial one for the drone. During the upgrade process, an Upgrade Template will appear, allowing the host to choose the direction of the drone’s evolution.”

Below this explanation was the Level 5 drone upgrade choice template, which presented five different patterns, each containing a different type of airplane. Yan Fei was now an expert on all of Earth’s fighter jets, so as soon as he saw these five icons, he immediately recognized the type of airplane inside each icon.

In the first image was the United States Air Force’s F-35 “Lightning II” Stealth Fighter Jet.

In the second image was the United States Air Force’s F-22 “Raptor” Stealth Fighter Jet.
