Of course, this action also made Du Ruo aware of some of his own shortcomings.
The first is naturally some shortcomings in high technology, which is also related to the previous identity. After all, as an ordinary person, who would have time to study things like missiles?
What's more, it is difficult to study it clearly. Ordinary people can only access these things that have been made public, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Although Du Ruo didn't understand why the missiles failed to hit him this time, this still made him alert.
Don't underestimate the power of the country. Once this loophole is discovered, it may be filled soon. Maybe the next time we encounter a missile, it may not be so easy to deal with it.
Secondly, Du Ruo felt that he still lacked some means.
This was all thanks to his research and development of the "Three Flowers and Five Qi" some time ago, which gave him the means of flying swords, sword energy, and water dragons.
If this had happened in the past, and he only knew boxing and martial arts, he would never have been able to do such a thing.
It's not that he belittles martial arts, it's just that it's too monotonous. Without flexibility, it will appear powerless to deal with some special means.
For example, Du Ruo’s true meaning of martial arts turned into a dragon’s roar.
The destructive power is indeed terrifying, and it is a range attack, but it is not without shortcomings and flaws.
For example, today, there was no need for him to take a detour to use Dragon Roar.
However, due to cement concrete, the effect of Du Ruo's Dragon Roar was greatly weakened when penetrating some buildings or underground buildings, which forced Du Ruo to use it in a detour.
This is also thanks to the fact that Du Ruo's sound wave attack does not rely entirely on sound waves to kill, but is a mixture of spirit and energy. Otherwise, if it relied entirely on sound, Du Ruo would not be able to be as efficient as he is today even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Therefore, it is very necessary to explore oneself. There are definitely more methods that Du Ruo has not developed.
For example, God, Du Ruo now only uses it to drive things. There must be more applications for it, and Du Ruo also has some ideas, but... he just hasn't found a way.
Perhaps this is the shortcoming of pioneers. There is no way forward and they can only search on their own. Sometimes they even need to read novels to find inspiration. Inspiration still needs to be developed, which is not an easy task.
Du Ruo was thinking about these things as he hurried back to the aircraft carrier.
After running for a distance on the island, Du Ruo subconsciously retracted Tang Jian, and then used water energy to mix the water energy with sea water to form a water dragon under his feet. The water dragon then controlled the water, and he stepped on the water dragon.
"The refined gold energy among the five energies in my chest is really powerful. When added to the Tang Sword, it makes the ordinary meteorite iron sharp enough to easily cut through special steel without being damaged. So the water energy I'm using now shouldn't be so weak."
Du Ruo glanced at the water dragon under his feet and couldn't help frowning.
Tang Jian said that it was a meteorite iron sword, but in fact it was not very special. In modern terms, it was nothing more than an alloy sword.
The reason why it is precious is that meteorite iron is a natural alloy. In fact, this material was invincible in ancient times, but in modern times, it is not so good. However, with the blessing of Du Ruo's refined gold energy, cutting military steel is as easy as cutting tofu.
As for the water dragon, Du Ruo remembered the water dragon he had tried hard to control with the water energy when he landed on the island. The dragon had the size, but no power at all. This shouldn't be the case.
"Whether it's from TV, novels, or even myths and legends, land gods shouldn't be like me. I always feel like something is wrong."
Du Ruo thought about the various reasons for himself for a long time, and finally vaguely thought of some reasons, but he had no solution. He had no choice but to stop thinking about it and take it one step at a time.
In fact, Du Ruo was very clear that no matter he was controlling the flying sword, or using the true meaning of martial arts to transform into a dragon, or using the refined gold energy among the five energy in his chest to make the weapon sharp, or using the water energy to control the water dragon.
In the final analysis, these are all things that Du Ruo has cultivated himself.
Simply put, Du Ruo used the power he cultivated himself. Even though he looked a bit like a land immortal, he still used the means of a warrior.
Therefore, between him and the immortals, there is still a lack of that legendary thing called "spiritual energy".
Logically speaking, with the power of a god, one can call the wind and rain with just a thought, and this thought is nothing more than Du Ruo's current mental power.
In other words, Du Ruo now has the power, but cannot use the corresponding means. The reason is that he lacks spiritual energy as a medium.
In other words, the legendary ability to call the wind and rain should be that the mind drives the spiritual energy in the air, which then drives the wind and water in nature to form magic.
Here, the power of the mind is just a little bit of force, and the spiritual energy is the lever. You only need to use the power of the mind to pry the lever, and eventually pry the wind and water in nature, and finally form a spell.
But now, Du Ruo cannot detect the spiritual energy in nature, so if he wants to move water in nature, he can only do it directly.
One uses a lever to pry, the other uses hands to buckle, so the effects are certainly different.
It's a pity that Du Ruo wanted it but couldn't solve it, because if he didn't have it, he didn't have it. Logically speaking, with Du Ruo's current level of spirit and energy, even if he needed so-called spiritual roots to comprehend spiritual energy, as long as he had them, Du Ruo could capture them even by force. This was also why Du Ruo felt helpless now.
……
Du Ruo went back and forth in less than three hours, covering nearly 2,500 kilometers, and in three hours, the aircraft carrier covered a distance of 150 kilometers.
When Du Ruo returned to the small observation balcony he had left, Colonel Zhang was still by the fence, pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious.
"Mr. Du, you're back? So soon? How's the situation?"
Colonel Zhang turned around and saw Du Ruo appear beside him from a very far distance in the blink of an eye. He was a little surprised, but more curious about the result of Du Ruo's going out this time.
"Nothing serious, but Colonel, you have some good wine hidden here, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Du Ruo replied with a smile, then looked at the place where the side dishes and wine were placed.
Now the beer bottles there have been cleared away, and there is a bottle of good wine instead, and the side dishes have been replaced with main dishes.
"Hehe, drinking is prohibited after all, but now that Mr. Du is back safely, it's okay to make an exception and drink a little to celebrate."
Colonel Zhang smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation and took the initiative to pour wine for Du Ruo.
But the two of them didn't drink for long. After finishing a bottle of white wine, Du Ruo went back to his room to continue resting.
After flying 2,500 kilometers back and forth at an extremely fast speed, with a battle taking place in between, even Du Ruo couldn't help feeling a little tired.
However, this gave Du Ruo some understanding of his own limits.
For the next two days, Du Ruo stayed on the aircraft carrier again. To be honest, he regretted boarding the aircraft carrier as it really wasted too much time.
If Du Ruo hadn't explained it to Xiang Yuanyuan several times and even took a photo and sent it back, Xiang Yuanyuan would have thought that Du Ruo was too seriously injured to go back.
"Mr. Du, good news."
On this day, Du Ruo was looking at the seashore boredly when Colonel Zhang trotted over. In the past few days, Du Ruo had become quite familiar with the aircraft carrier, and Colonel Zhang had already known about Du Ruo's feat of going to the island, and he admired him very much.
"What good news."
Du Ruo was too lazy to move, he was really bored, and now he was not interested in any good news.
Because Colonel Zhang told him yesterday that due to various reasons, the flying distance of aircraft carrier fighter jets is only more than 1,000 kilometers.
He had already made up his mind. He would wait for two more days, and when he was only about 4,000 kilometers away from the coastline, he would fly back directly. Otherwise, if he took an aircraft carrier, it would take an unknown amount of time to get back.
"Hehe, the higher-ups know that Mr. Du is anxiously waiting, so they specially arranged a fighter jet to come and pick you up. The fighter jet has just landed. After refueling, you can go back."
Colonel Zhang said with a smile.
In fact, the wrangling between China and the United States has ended at this time.
I don’t know whether Du Ruo’s visit to the base had any effect, or whether some agreement was reached between them and the United States.
Anyway, Du Ruo's matter had been brushed over, so they arranged for a fighter jet to pick Du Ruo up.
Otherwise, given the way the higher-ups treated Du Ruo in the past, how could they have allowed Du Ruo to stay at sea with the aircraft carrier for so long?
Aircraft carriers are slow, but other warships are not slow. What's more, fighter jets have limited range, but it's just a matter of a few more aerial refuelings.
It was only because Du Ruo didn't understand these things that he didn't think much about it. Now that things have been settled, there is no need for them to let Du Ruo stay on the sea any longer.
"Oh? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
When Du Ruo heard this, the lazy look on his face immediately disappeared. He stood up, took the Tang Jian, and walked towards the deck of the aircraft carrier.
He is not interested in this broken aircraft carrier at all now.
Seeing this, Colonel Zhang just smiled and followed to see Du Ruo off.
It was quite enjoyable to ride in a fighter jet this time. Not to mention the long ride, Du Ruo also saw how to refuel in the air, which was a good experience. However, Du Ruo was not very interested in it. He was a little eager to go home and just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
The fighter jet stopped at the military airport in Huangshan. The familiar Fox was still standing by the airport, and there was a car waiting next to her.
It was obvious that he was picking up Du Ruo.
"Mr. Du, let me take you back."
Seeing Du Ruo getting off the fighter plane, Fox hurried over to meet him.
"No, the bus is too slow, I'd better go back by myself."
Du Ruo looked at the sky. It was just a little after noon. If he took the bus back, he might not even make it for lunch. So he simply waved his hand, and without caring whether it was shocking or not, he flew straight into the sky on his sword.
"..."
When Fox saw Du Ruo disappear, she was silent. She had only seen it in videos before, but now witnessing it so directly still shocked and envious her.
But soon she looked around and saw the fighter pilots and ground crew who were equally shocked, so she immediately walked over to talk about the confidentiality.
This was in his hometown, so Du Ruo was quite careful. Moreover, it was broad daylight, so in order not to be exposed, Du Ruo was also quite secretive and careful.
He deliberately flew very high, and when he was near his home, he came down from the sky, finally stopped on the road near his new home, and then walked towards home.
"What's going on??"
Du Ruo had just returned to the yard of his new house, but what he saw was a yard full of packaged...dried fish, and Yaya rolling on the dried fish.
"Husband, are you back?"
Originally, Xiang Yuanyuan was in the yard looking at the dried fish all over the yard and feeling a headache. But after seeing Du Ruo, she completely forgot about the dried fish, lifted her skirt, and trotted towards Du Ruo.
"Hey, honey, don't run away."
When Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan running, he immediately took a step forward and picked her up, while constantly looking at Xiang Yuanyuan.
Well... I didn’t lose weight, I seem to have gained a little weight.
Before Du Ruo could ask more questions, Xiang Yuanyuan hugged Du Ruo's head and kissed her, and they did not separate for a long time.
"What's going on? Why don't you put away all these dried fish? Why are they just leaving them outside like this?"
Du Ruo looked at the dried fish and knew in his heart that this should be what Colonel Zhang meant by the future dried fish being packaged by the Navy. However... they didn't expect that the other party meant packaged in this way. It was like a lifetime of dried fish was being delivered to them at once.
"Yesterday a military truck delivered a load of fish, and our house couldn't hold it anymore, so these were delivered today. The person who delivered them also said that they would be delivered every six months, and they would be dried fish caught by the navy themselves.
The dried fish here are all the ones they have eaten before, and they are all the most delicious dried fish. "
When Xiang Yuanyuan was talking, her eyes never left Du Ruo's face. Now she is not so concerned about these dried fish.
"Forehead……"
Hearing this answer, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, a little speechless, then looked at Yaya who was still rolling on the dried fish, and couldn't help shouting:
"Yaya, hurry up and come down. If you smell like fish, your mother will beat you to death."
"Uncle, I won't come down. I want to sleep here."
Yaya had already noticed Du Ruo, but she just couldn't bear to come down.
"Don't worry, you'll have more dried fish than you can eat in the future. Hey, why is this guy out at home?"
Du Ruo looked at the dried fish all over the yard, speechless, but when she glanced around, she unexpectedly discovered a voice moving around the packaged dried fish.
With a wave of his hand, the little guy flew up from the ground and was held in Du Ruo's hand.
It turned out to be the little clouded leopard that I hadn’t seen for a long time.
"I found this in the yard a few days ago. The mother clouded leopard should have brought it here. But I didn't see the mother clouded leopard, and I didn't dare to go up the mountain alone, so I just waited for you to come back and deal with it."
Xiang Yuanyuan left Du Ruo's arms and reached out to hold the little clouded leopard in her arms.
"Meow~~"
The little clouded leopard was very clingy. It rubbed against Xiang Yuanyuan's body, and then stayed in her arms obediently.
"Okay, let's take care of him first. Where are mom and dad?"
Du Ruo took a quick glance and found that only Yuanyuan and Yaya were at home.
"I've been delivering dried fish door to door. How can we possibly finish all of this? Honey, you must be hungry. I'll go cook for you."
Xiang Yuanyuan just remembered at this time, and stuffed the little clouded leopard into Du Ruo's arms, then turned and went into the house.
Du Ruo followed behind. As for Yaya, there was no need to worry about her. With Yu Gan around, she could stay quiet for a long time.
"I'll call Chen Guang and ask him to come over and pick up a few trucks to give to the folks."
"Yeah, I thought so too, but if you didn't come back, I wouldn't call you."
"Honey, how is your family doing these days while I'm gone? Is everything okay?"
When they got into the house, Du Ruo put the clouded leopard on the ground, then hugged Xiang Yuanyuan from behind, smelling the scent of each other and speaking softly.
"Everything is fine at home. My mom comes over every day to make soup for me. Look, I've gained weight. My parents stayed for a week, but I saw they were bored, so I let them go back."
Xiang Yuanyuan grabbed Du Ruo's hand and snuggled into Du Ruo's arms, feeling the sense of security of being embraced by Du Ruo.
"Um,……"
They said they were going to go into the house to eat, but in the end, Du Ruo just hugged Xiang Yuanyuan and talked for a long time.
It was mainly Du Ruo who was talking. He talked about the complete transformation of his body, his progress in martial arts during this trip, and some of his insights. Finally, he even gave a general account of what happened during this trip.
Xiang Yuanyuan exclaimed in amazement after hearing these things. She really didn't expect that Du Ruo's outing would be so exciting and do such a big thing.
Du Ruo had no intention of hiding it. Since they were already married, it was necessary for Xiang Yuanyuan to know more about his abilities.
The two chatted until Du Ruo's parents came back.
Seeing Du Ruo coming back, my mother naturally asked her all kinds of questions, and of course she also mixed in a few complaints.
As he spoke, he cooked a few more dishes for Du Ruo to eat quickly.
Later, Yang Chenguang drove over in his car and was also startled.
Du Ruo asked him to get the dried fish. He originally thought he would just take it to try, but he didn't expect there would be so much.
Without bothering to say more to Du Ruo, he went to load the goods onto the truck and send it off. After several trips, the yard was much emptier.
The atmosphere among the family was very harmonious. They chatted and talked about some trivial things that had happened recently.
In the end, it was even discovered that Yaya had actually fallen asleep lying on the dried fish.
But she was soon picked up by Duna, along with a truckload of dried fish. In the end, Yaya even thought about getting off the truck herself and letting Duna take more dried fish back.
For the next few days, Du Ruo stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. He stayed with Xiang Yuanyuan every day.
During the period, we fed the kestrel and teased the little clouded leopard, and had a very happy time.
The fox came over in the middle and gave Du Ruo some information about high-tech weapons that he was interested in.
But there is too much information, and even if Du Ruo reads as fast as he can, it is impossible to finish it in a short time.
Of course Du Ruo was not in a hurry. He just wanted to take a look and get familiar with it, and he hadn't thought about researching it.
