The Concorde was once the only turbojet-powered supersonic airliner in the world that was truly put into commercial operation.

Many young people might not know about this aircraft at all, but they would have to admit that this aircraft had left a very strong impression in the history of civil aviation.

Based on the development of human science and technology over the past few decades, an interesting phenomenon could be discovered, and that was that people had been relatively conservative in the development of science and technology over the recent years, s However, during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s, it was the golden age where science and technology seemed to thrive, and it had developed widely and rapidly.

The people from that era had also shown unprecedented enthusiasm and radicalism in the field of science and technology.

During the era when the computing powers of computers were not as great as a learning machine, the Soviet Union had sent astronauts to space, and the United States had sent their astronauts to the moon. Similarly, in that era, people had gradually lost interest in ordinary subsonic civil aviation aircrafts, and they had begun to step into the supersonic era with their heads held high. 3 In 1975, the Concorde, which was twice the speed of sound, could already be officially put into use. At that time, people could already enjoy the supersonic aircraft which could travel a distance of 2,150 kilometers per hour. 4 Now, it would take at least two hours to fly from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, but if a person were to take the Concorde, it would only take twenty-five minutes.

Unfortunately, although this aircraft was exceptionally fast, it had extremely low fuel economy. So, this aircraft subsequently withdrew from the civil aviation stage in 2003 due to the arrival of the economic crisis and a serious flight accident. Ever since that day, the Concorde had disappeared from the eyes of the public. 6 Today, many people had already forgotten about the existence of this aircraft, but there were still a few of these aircrafts that had been well-preserved.

Moreover, all of it becthe exclusive mode of transportation for the top wealthy and influential people. Charlie's grandfather, Jeremiah, was one of them.

He spent a huge sum of money to transform and maintain his Concorde after buying it, and he also had to spend tens of millions of dollars in basic maintenance costs for the aircraft every year. 3 However, although Jeremiah had spent so much money on this aircraft, he rarely used it.

But for this kind of top and influential families, owning this aircraft was similar to a big country owning nuclear weapons. They could keep it in storage during ordinary times, and they might not even use it for several years or even decades. However, as soon as there was a major event that required it, it could be immediately put to use.

1 That was the reason why Isaac could cup with this solution. As long as Jeremiah would be willing to lend the Concorde to Charlie, it would not be impossible to send Charlie off to Syria within four and a half hours! However, Jeremiah valued this aircraft very much. Aside from him, no one else ever had the opportunity to use this aircraft before. Even his own children never had the opportunity to use this aircraft. 3 As for Isaac, he was just the Wade family's spokesperson in Aurous Hill. He was not even fit to contact Jeremiah directly. So, Charlie was the only person who could talk to Jeremiah about this matter. Charlie was instantly awakened as soon as he heard Isaac's words.

He could not hide his excitement and he blurted out," That's great! If I could use the Concorde, I will instantly be able to save more than half the traveling time!"

As he spoke, he immediately took out his cell phone and said, "I will call him that will I now. I will make sure that I borrow the aircraft from him no matter what it is!" 4

Isaac was a little worried as he said, "Young Master, I heard that your grandfather treats this aircraft like a treasure He has never lent it to never anyone else, nor has he ever allowed anyone other than himself to use the plane before. I am just worried that he will not be willing to lend it to you." 3

Charlie solemnly replied, "No matter what it is, I will have to call him and try my luck first! 5 After he was done speaking, Charlie immediately made a phone call to his grandfather, Jeremiah. 4 X
