Chapter 26 Customized Eurocopter E135
Jack was surprised again. As for the helipad, he didn't know what to say about it. He wondered if Sabrina had forgotten about it or she didn't know of its existence at all.
Jack got out of the bed, forgetting about the tiredness of his body as he rushed towards the parking lot.
From a distance, he could see that there was a white Eurocopter with several streaks of blue on top of the roof. Jack hurried his steps and arrived at the parking lot not long after.
He tried looking around for a way to get to the Eurocopter that had landed on the roof but, he couldn't find any.
'System, why is the Eurocopter on the roof? You know, that's poor delivery service. After all, how am I supposed to fly it of I can't even reach it?' After getting frustrated from not seeing a method of getting to the roof, he could only complain to the system.
[There's a way to get there. It's just that you don't know what you bought well. Just raise the walls. Once all the walls are up, there would be a staircase that leads to the top of the garage.]
Jack couldn't help but complain, 'How am I supposed to know everything in all of this big compound without spending some time? See, even the one that sold it to me didn't tell me about it. Maybe she didn't know that it existed there.'
After saying these words to the system, Jack then thought of something important, 'By the way system, how did you know that there was a staircase here?'
[Nothing in this blue planet can be hidden from this system.]
Jack: "….."
After pressing the button for the walls to rise, Jack waited for about a minute before everything was in place.
Looking at the garage that had been formed, Jack could only admire the designer even more. After all, when the walls were taken down, they would hide below the interlocking tiles that would take their place.
But, once they were raised, the garage looked no different from a normal built one. He couldn't even see the places that the four walls joined together. If a person was seeing this for the first time, he/she would have thought that the walls weren't divided into four.

Jack got into the garage. The place was well lit, just like the compound that had no black spots. The lighting inside the garage was faint blue. He didn't know why they had chosen that color anyway.
Looking around, he tried finding the staircase that the system had spoken of. But, no matter where he looked, he couldn't find it. He had no choice but to ask the system.
[You're hopeless. Looking at the door that leads to the garage's back, there should be a switch there. Once pressed, the staircase would be formed.]
Jack could swear that the he had heard the system's robotic voice sighing. But, he still agreed that he was hopeless in this situation and could only depend on the system.
After arriving at the door that led to the back of the garage, Jack saw that there was indeed a small switch. It had the words 'staircase' written on it.
After flicking the switch, there was a buzzing sound as the structure of the garage changed. All the cars, were moved to the side using the tiles. It was like the ground was opening in the center of the garage.
If there was a car that was parked there, it would be moved to the side or it would be placed on a top position of the other cars. These rising tiles were supported by strong steel bars.
Jack was surprised that such a system was present in the garage. He couldn't help but wonder how advanced the helipad was. After the ground at the center was opened up, a rotating staircase was raised.
Alongside it was a path that could be followed by a car. Just like the staircase, it was winding. The starting position was at the entrance of the garage. It fit well on the opened space in that a person might think that it had always been there.
Jack got out of his stupor only after seeing that the movements had stopped. He staggered towards the staircase. Looking upwards, he could see that, almost at the edge of the garage's roof, there was an opening.
In fact, there were two of them. One for the bigger path and the other for the staircase. Jack climbed the staircase and arrived on top of the roof of the garage. There, he found that the place was quite big when looking at it from this point.
But now, there was a customized Eurocopter that was at the center of the roof. The roof itself was well lit by ground bulbs, so, although it was night, he could see the Eurocopter very well.
The helipad was just like the others. He couldn't see any difference. Looks like he had his hopes too high for nothing.
Then, he wondered to himself, when coming back, he didn't notice this Eurocopter. It wasn't like there were no lights. It was clear as day in the palace.
[The Eurocopter was delivered only after you had entered the mansion.]
Finally, Jack nodded in understanding. Then, he stared at the outward appearance of the Eurocopter.
The EC135 had at least a length of 16m, width of 4m and a height of 8m. The fuselage of the Eurocopter was at least 12m long. The diameters of main and tail rotors were 11m and one meter respectively. As for the roof where the helipad was, it was 40*45. So, although the Eurocopter was wide, it still fit well.
The garage where the cars could be parked was only the size of 35*36. The extra space was obviously for the walls that could be raised and lowered at will.
'System, no introduction of the Eurocopter here?' Jack asked curiously. This was his first time being closer to an aircraft. He'd left Crystal city for the first time in his life when he came here in Inchoate City.
After a moment of silence, just when Jack thought that the system wouldn't reply, a pile of information was dumped into his mind while the system's voice echoed.
[EC135 is a multi-mission twin-engine helicopter manufactured by Eurocopter. The helicopter offers extended range and payload capacities, while delivering low noise operations. The EC135 helicopter is widely operated by police forces, emergency medical services (EMS) and charter companies.
The EC135 can conduct homeland security, law enforcement, passenger and VIP transport, search and rescue (SAR) and EMS operations.
The EC135 has a length of 16.16m, width of 4.65m and a height of 8.51m. The fuselage of the helicopter is 12.2m long. The diameters of main and tail rotors are 11.2m and 1.4m respectively.
The helicopter can be equipped with a rescue hoist, searchlight, forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera and LO-JACK tracker to support law enforcement missions.
The spacious cabin has a volume of 12.9m³. It has a single level and is provided with unobstructed flat floor providing a very high load capability of 1,400kg. The wide cabin also offers outstanding visibility for observation operations.
The flat floor and rails ensure the users to install medical devices or mission specific equipment. The two wide sliding doors and the two rear-hinged clamshell doors allow the entry and exit of occupants. The cabin can accommodate nine to ten passengers in its standard configuration.
The EC135 is provided with two engine options, including Turbomeca Arrius 2B2 and the Pratt & Whitney Caga PW206B2. The two engines are equipped with full authority digital engine control (FADEC), fire detectors and an over-speed protection system. Each engine develops a maximum take-off power of 953kW.
The EC135 can fly at a maximum speed of 543km/h. The maximum operating altitude is 25,000ft. The helicopter can climb at a rate of 5.6m/s. Its maximum range with standard tanks is 1700km.
The EC135 is customized and performs better than others. It has the name of the current owner, JACK, written on either side of the tail. It has an advanced autopilot system.
Accompanying this is an advanced Ai that can take simple instructions from the owner. Furthermore, it can use the owners biological data to ensure the Eurocopter's anti-theft security.]
Jack hadn't expected that the system would give him so much information at once. He almost felt that his head was going to burst from the overloaded information.
After taking a deep breath, he felt that he was no longer feeling dizzy. Now, as he focused his gaze onto the Eurocopter, he could gain some understanding of it.
Now that all that was out of the way, Jack wanted to see the interior. According to the system, this aircraft could carry two crew members and about ten passengers.
He got closer to the aircraft. As soon as he stretched his hand, touching the handle-less door, it suddenly moved to the side before he heard a robotic voice.
(Welcome master. I am Eko, the EC135's Ai, here at your service.)
"Who knew that the Ai was so advanced?" Jack then stepped into the EC135. The space inside was huge. And just like in the system's description, it could accommodate at least ten people at the same time.
He then entered the cockpit. There, he looked at the many buttons that were there. He took a deep breath as he muttered, "Although the Bugatti Veyron also has many buttons, but it is different from this."
"Eko, can you tell me about this plane?" He shook his head before asking Eko, the plane's Ai about the plane.
Eko gave a simple description of the plane. It was no different from what the system had told him. And then, now came a question, how was the plane going to fly? He didn't know how to fly the plane, this was his first time on one.
'System, can I get the professional flying skill?' Jack thought of the professional driving skills and asked the system expectantly.
[NO! The professional driving skills were given to you because the emergency Mode had been activated. For you to get skills, you'll have to work harder so that you can activate the skill rewards.]
Jack: "…."
"What is the use of having a car if you can't drive it? What's the use of having an aircraft if you can't fly it?"
