Wang Ye only needs to store the absorbed energy in his body in the form of fat; one pound of fat can provide seven thousand calories of energy. What he needs to do now is to work hard to increase the energy storage limit in his body. Since he cannot change the energy absorption pathway, he should make the stored energy more abundant.

This way, the combat exercise in seven days will be more secure.

Old Yi saw Wang Ye shake his head and didn’t continue to inquire,

just reminded him to remember to stay in the military camp for the next few days.

After dinner, Old Yi left first.

It seemed he went to prepare for the combat exercise in seven days.

Although it’s just a combat exercise, quite a few elements and characters are involved.

It’s worth noting that the J-20 is only a fighter jet commissioned in 2018 and has only been in service for a few years. The more powerful sixth-generation and seventh-generation fighter jets are still under development,

and it’s still the strongest combat force of the air force domestically to date. Deploying ten J-20s at once is not an easy task.

Wang Ye could foresee that this simulated exercise would attract far more attention than this time’s physical examination. If he defeated ten J-20s in public, the sensation caused would be even more exaggerated than this time.

And this precisely aligns with Wang Ye’s current plan.

He turned and returned to his dormitory,

and began pondering how to solve the issue of energy shortage.

Wang Ye has been considering this problem for a long time and has conceived many solutions in his mind. Currently, the quickest and most reliable method is to directly purchase radioactive elements. Although radioactive elements have lethal radiation, the energy contained within them is vast, allowing for the creation of nuclear bombs.

One gram of the uranium element contains two hundred billion calories of energy.

It is also known as the most dangerous metallic element.

It is one of the main components of nuclear fusion.

The price of one gram of the uranium element is about over 3,600 yuan RMB, and it’s even available for purchase through some shopping channels. However, it is strictly controlled, and purchasing it may be somewhat troublesome.

Wang Ye didn’t want to waste time and directly went to Ning Junyi to discuss, asking if there was a way to obtain this radioactive uranium element.

Ning Junyi, upon hearing this, although unsure what Wang Ye needed it for, agreed happily. Having witnessed Wang Ye’s strength, they all realized that Wang Ye is now the most important person in the military, and keeping him happy is more important than anything.

Although Ning Junyi could obtain the uranium element, it would take three to four days to make arrangements.

Wang Ye wasn’t in a hurry and spent the waiting days training running around the military camp or practicing throwing, gradually advancing the "Soul Chaser" skill toward the Third Stage Extraordinary Skills.

On the fourth day, Ning Junyi sent someone to deliver ten grams of uranium element to Wang Ye’s dormitory,

because this element releases radiation in a natural environment, so Wang Ye took it to the nearest laboratory for testing.

This round of testing took three days,

during which he either occasionally practiced the Innate Skill,

or was continuously in the laboratory ingesting the uranium element for testing.

He didn’t pay attention to any events outside.

··························

··························

Soon, it was time for the combat exercise seven days later.

Wang Ye left the laboratory and was taken by Ning Junyi in a military vehicle to the site of the combat exercise.

The location was a vast, barren area.

After Wang Ye got out of the car, Ning Junyi immediately drove away,

leaving Wang Ye standing in the wilderness. If at this moment a device capable of detecting radiation was used to scan him, it would reveal that he was constantly emitting intense radiation, but when he was near Ning Junyi, he deliberately repressed the radiation, not harming him.

In fact, all this radiation was emitted by the uranium element he had ingested. Throughout the three-day experiment, he consumed over five grams of uranium element,

totaling almost a trillion calories. If Wang Ye maintained supersonic speed for one minute, it would consume ten million calories; thus, this energy was enough for him to maintain supersonic speed for over a hundred hours.

This is an incredibly massive amount of power, and any minor over-digestion could lead to his body exploding, so he constantly keeps his digestive system shut down.

Only when energy is scarce does he reactivate his digestive system to metabolize a small portion of the uranium element to supply energy. Yet, this measure is very challenging to control, so Wang Ye has tried for three days to barely manage controlling the digestion process precisely.

"With these uranium elements, I shouldn’t face any energy shortages in the short term..." Wang Ye murmured, looking at his hands. Unless he evolves abilities that consume more energy, this amount of energy should at least suffice for him to lavish for months.

After confirming the state of his body, Wang Ye began to survey the surrounding environment. Although countless eyes nationwide were watching this area, the site of the exercise required an extremely large space, so there was no other person around Wang Ye.

There were only some drones overhead, which should be responsible for capturing footage of the battle scene.

Squinting, Wang Ye looked into the distance, and about a dozen kilometers away, sitting quietly on an airstrip were ten fighter jets. As someone who frequently follows military subjects, Wang Ye recognized immediately that this was the pinnacle creation of the current air force, the J-20.

The J-20’s fuselage was exceptionally smooth, having taken aerodynamics almost to the limit. If tested with wind tunnels and visual smoke, one would find that the mist flows over the fuselage with virtually no obstacles, imposing minimal resistance to the fighter jet during flight.

As the pilot boarded the jet with ground crew assistance,

they gradually started up the fighter jet, and a trail of black smoke spewed behind the aircraft.

The wheels began to slowly move across the flat ground.

Because the fighter jet needs to accelerate in a level-flight, this process usually takes quite a long time.

If Wang Ye and the fighter jet started simultaneously, undoubtedly, Wang Ye’s speed would be faster.

And any fighter jet with a slow start-up would be directly intercepted by Wang Ye, losing its ability to continue free flight.

Therefore, Old Yi’s plan was to first let ten J-20s take off, and only after their speed reached Mach 2 would Wang Ye mobilize.

After about several minutes of level-flight acceleration, the ten fighter jets gradually reached the realm of supersonic speed. Ten loud sonic booms exploded in the sky.

And as the ten fighter jets disappeared into the smoke, they couldn’t be clearly sighted by the naked eye.

Though the stealth capability of warplanes often refers to radar detection evasion,

in supersonic flight, there are times when optical invisibility is also achieved,

to the point where they can’t even be seen by the naked eye.

This is because the fighter jets bring forth so much smoke during flight that they are thoroughly cloaked in the clouds.

Whoosh!!!!

The intense sonic booms accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of wings slicing through the air kept expanding outward for dozens of miles in all directions, generating tremendous momentum. Rows of jets were like swords in the sky, piercing the firmament with formidable intimidation.

Seeing the ten J-20s each ascending to Mach 2 speed, Wang Ye began to progressively metabolize the uranium elements in his stomach, and suddenly, infinite energy surged into every part of his body.

In an instant, Wang Ye moved.

His figure immediately vanished from where he stood.

Instantly ascending from a standstill to subsonic speed.

His speed continued climbing, taking only about three seconds to reach sonic speed.

Circle after circle of sonic boom clouds erupted before him,

and everyone present heard a shrill noise of something tearing through the air, much like the sound when a supersonic fighter jet breaks the sound barrier in flight.

In the midst of his supersonic run, Wang Ye suddenly leaped.

Harnessing this inertia, his form shot straight up to hundreds of meters like a rocket launching from the ground.

Carving a massive parabola in the sky.

Meanwhile, those watching the scene through drone screens, including Old Yi and the other officers, held their breaths.

"It’s about to begin!"
