"That's good.I was worried that someone from The Raven would get to her."
Zane did not want Nicole to get involved in anything dangerous right now.
"I don't think so yet, but Nicole asked me to check out someone named Ike.Not sure what she means."
Carl told Zane what Nicole had asked him to do.
"Ike? Since she has asked you to look into it, you help her with it as best as you can after we take
control of the manufacturing plant," Zane said.
"Okay."
A few hours into the flight, the cargo plane opened the rear cargo door, and Zane and the others
jumped out of the plane.
Ike drove Nicole and Harvey to his R&D center.
As the door opened, a manned flying car was parked in the middle of the workshop.
"This is the manned flying car you developed?" Harvey looked at the behemoth in surprise.
"Yes.There is no way to reduce the size now because of the many components needed.But as
technology advances, the size will get smaller and smaller.I aim it to be about the same size as a car
now, " Ike said.
Nicole walked over to check it out.
The shape of the manned flying car had been a world apart from a car.
From the appearance alone, it looked more like an alien spaceship in movies.
"Ike, can you tell us a bit about how it works?" Nicole asked, looking at the manned flying car.
"This manned flying car uses four independent propellers for take- off, landing, and forward
motion.When the pilot starts it, it is like operating a car, driving the flying car through the control stick.It
can't go any higher when it reaches a certain height.We set an upper limit on the altitude so that it can
avoid collision with aircraft and cause an accident," Ike said.
"What if there is a malfunction in the air? Will the flying car crash? " Harvey asked a very practical
question.
"In the event of a malfunction, the flying car will activate the emergency system to maximize the safety
of the driver," Ike said.
"That is to say; now it is only possible to safeguard the driver's life.Absolute safety is still not possible,
right?" Harvey asked matter-of-factly.
"Yes, because this flying car is just a prototype, and the technology is not mature enough now."
This was the explanation given by Ike.It was impressive that they could make it, which was the only
one in the world as of now.
"You guys have done a great job.I'm sure you all have suffered many setbacks in making this flying car,
right?" Nicole looked over at Ike.
"Yeah.Many of my colleagues were injured during the development and test flights, but they still
persevered, which led to the flying car before you." Ike told the research and development process, his
eyes full of pride.
"Thank you for your contribution to the progress of mankind." Nicole looked at him matter-of-factly.
"That's our mission, what we're after." Ike smiled and looked at Nicole.
"It's getting late.We have to get back.Thank you for showing us around your debut project.It is our
pleasure."
Nicole said goodbye, then left the R&D center with Harvey.
Back at the hotel, no one mentioned Ike as the man behind the curtain.
They returned to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day, Nicole said goodbye to Mr.Harmon on the phone and then took a flight back home with
Harvey.
Last night, she received a message from Carl and knew that Carl had left.She had sent his flight
information to Jared's phone.
After getting off the plane, she saw Jared at the exit gate.
"Tired?" Jared asked, taking her hand with concern, completely ignoring Harvey, who was on the side.
Harvey saw Jared was doing it on purpose.He did not make a fool of himself but left in another car.
