Chapter 176: The New Weapons
Time passed on, back in the mansion, Zack closed the wall box containing a reactor and turned his attention to Ego. "Hey, did you have a flying car blueprint?.."
"Yes, Sir," Ego replied.
"Good. If the materials are available, add one to the production list. I want my own flying car," Zack said casually.
"Understood. The flying car has been added to the production queue," Ego confirmed.
Zack waved it off with a nod. Vehicles like this were just toys to him—amusing but not essential. "Oh, by the way," he continued, "what's the status of the Avalon we sent to the Eastern Hemisphere? Has it been shot down yet?" He had sent the Avalon to test the Vanguard Organization's satellite capabilities, suspecting it might be equipped with space-based weapons. So far, there had been no reports of it being destroyed.
"Sir, I believe you've overestimated the Vanguard Organization's capabilities," Ego replied.
"What do you mean?" Zack asked, narrowing his eyes.
"While constructing and launching a space-based satellite is challenging, the real difficulty lies in achieving precise strikes from such satellites. It's a far more advanced task."
Hearing this, Zack immediately understood what Ego was implying. "Oh, I get it now," Zack said with a grin. "It's not that they don't want to hit the Avalon—it's that they can't."
