Chapter 428 - Fun.

The command room had descended into cold silence. The people did not dare to look at the lady in the vermillion dress. They had no idea how to report to her what was going on. The technicians all cast their gaze at Mikhail Goldberg. The man gulped and said, "President Feng, we did not expect this to happen but Young Master Feng got inside the space aircraft, Fluid. He took over the manual controls and now is in control of the vessel." 

Feng Yun's pupil dilated as she cast a gaze at Mikhail Goldberg. She walked to the chief technician's workstation and said, "Do you have radio contact?" 

The man nodded, and immediately said, "Fluid, this is command, do you read? Over." 

Yang Dao's voice rang out, "Go for Fluid. Over" 

The Chief technician said, "President Feng wants to have a word with you. Over." 

"Connect me, Over." said the young man. 

Feng Yun took the mic and in a calm voice asked, "Is your safety assured?" 

Yang Dao smiled in the cockpit when he heard these words. He nodded and replied, "Affirmative. Do look after the rats. Will contact on re-entry. Over and Out."

Feng Yun sighed as the connection went cold. She said, "It is okay. Let him have his fun. You guys keep on working as normal. Do not seal any news. Be transparent with the people. Give them some excitement."

The people were given another shock. Some even doubted if these two 'siblings' were in sound mental health. This was the space they were talking about. Anything was possible. 

Yang Dao, however, did not care about this. He wanted to touch the edge of the sea of stars. This was his only motive behind this flight. 

The media was directly broadcasting it all live throughout the world. The news that Yang Dao had gotten inside the experimental aircraft shocked the world like a nuclear bomb. Yang Dao was a big name in technology and business. His name was known to everyone, as every second household in the world was using the appliances and gadgets manufactured by his company. 

The phoenix group has grown from the biggest company in Jewel nation to the biggest in the world and it had no rivals. Those who were being aided by the helping hand initiative all began to pray for Yang Dao's safe return. This was all because of his deeds. Even if he had never seen the people, the people all remembered him in their prayers. 

Yang Dao had changed the lives of countless people and this time he was in a dangerous position, so they all prayed. 

...

In the cockpit of the aircraft, Yang Dao gazed at the scenery outside the windscreen and sighed. he mumbled, "Initiating the primary engines." 

Till now the aircraft was using two auxiliary thrust rockets. They were to fire when the two air crafts detached from each other. Yang Dao pressed a few buttons on the panel and the primary engines came online. The engine technology he used was not seen by the world. 

It was a combination of nuclear and electronic eon engines. They could fly with no pollution and no sound. What was even more, they were almost infinite fuel. The aircraft was fitted with a miniature version of a nuclear fusion reactor. How Yang Dao did it. It was his secret. 

The speed of the aircraft began to increase and the flight altitude improved with each passing second. The people in the command center were not at ease. They were monitoring every byte of the incoming data. 

After Yang Dao got past the Stratosphere. He did not show any sign of excitement and waited till the aircraft climbed the few more layers of the faint atmosphere. After an hour his body experienced a sensation like never before. 

He spoke on the radio, "Command, the bird has flown out of the cage. I am right now suspended in the void." 

The aircraft was now levitating in the void. The engines were shut down by Yang Dao, it was moving freely. His words were enough to confirm to the people below that he has achieved the goal of this flight. The aircraft he had designed was as big as a fighter jet. 

This was to reduce the risks around the big body planes. He said, "The bird will now re-enter the cage. See you on touch down, over." 

The feeling without gravity was not sitting very well with him. After the words were delivered, Yang Dao restarted the engines. His descend began. He did not dive nose down, but glided down, in a circular path. As the impact of gravity increased, he lowered his acceleration. It took him only a few minutes to decent. 

The body of the aircraft was glowing red when he entered the troposphere. Only then did he use the controls to gradually reduce his speed and land on the tarmac. The aircraft was designed in such a way that it could do the vertical take-off and vertical landing. Like a helicopter. 

As soon as the plane touched down the land, Yang Dao breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled out a data storage device from the USB port in the cockpit. This data drive contained all the changes the aircraft experienced during the flight. This data was crucial in improving the designs in the rest of the things. 

His aircraft was so heated at the moment that he almost thought of the nuclear reactor exploding him to nothingness. The emergency crew all rushed forward. They showered the fluid with an extinguishing agent and also perform a few medical checkups on Yang Dao as he got out of the cockpit. 

Everyone was wearing a hazmat suit. They were not aware of the nuclear core inside the plane had become unstable due to the heat on the plane surface. The chassis was not damaged, neither were the engines. 

Yang Dao was taken to the side by the medical teams and only spared after a check was done on him. He first met Feng Yun who smiled upon him. She asked, "Did you have fun? Dao." 

Yang Dao could only nod in agreement with a smile on his.
