Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 98 History of Sky City
"Has your engine not broken in ten years?" Lincheng asked Xunying curiously at this moment.

"Yes, the quality of the engine produced by Sky City is quite high." Xun Ying said proudly, "Even if there are some minor problems, it can be reused after a little modification."

"Why don't you change it for an upgrade, but no matter how good the quality is, there will be various problems after a long time. The engine is the heart of the airship, and it is very important for those of you who rely on the airship trade for a living.

A faster engine would also allow you to evade air bandits better, wouldn't it? " Lincheng said.

Xun Ying's smile gradually faded, and then he sighed deeply, "This is a bit of a long story.

Do you know where Baicheng's airship technology came from?

Moreover, it is even more advanced than Sky City's technology. "

There was a flash of light in Lincheng's eyes, he said with a smile: "I didn't know in the past, but you probably have some guesses when you put it this way, can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course, since the matter of the engine is not resolved so quickly, then I will tell you about the history of Sky City, and pass the time by the way."

Xunying looked around, "This is really not a good place to chat. After staying for a few minutes, I feel that my skin pores are full of oil and gas."

"Let's go down and let Tesla stay here and take a good look." Lincheng smiled.

The environment here is really not for people. Although the engine has stopped running, the heat generated by the overload just now is still surrounding the engine compartment. It is extremely hot. In just a few minutes, everyone has already sweated a lot .

The mechanic who was working in the engine room even wore a one-piece work overalls, his upper body was completely naked, and heavy oil stains were stained on his body.

It wasn't long before they left, and the hot cocoa in front of them was still warm.

Lincheng silently pushed the poor oil pendant away from him, and then quietly listened to the story told by Xunying.

"Things can be traced back to 70 years ago. At that time, Sky City was in a state of no one's control. It was floating aimlessly in the air, and it didn't fly very high. Many people on land could occasionally see it overhead. fly over.

At that time, the sky was still the realm of the gods, and there were even legends that the city in the sky was the place where the gods lived, and the gods looked down on the earth and his people in the sky that belonged to the gods.

Later, three people in Baicheng challenged the realm of God!

The three of them are friends, like-minded confidants, and descendants of nobles in Baicheng, with good education.

According to the most popular rumors now, their names are Yingying, Mobo, and Roger, two men and one woman.

They tried to make a hot air balloon that could carry people to the sky, and calculated the trajectory of the Sky City through calculations, and they wanted to try to board the Sky City.

At that time, this was regarded as a sacrilegious act by the Holy See in Baicheng, so they were expelled.

But in the end, they managed to board the sky city after all the hardships, and found the corpses of the "gods" - a group of humans from the old era.

They inherited the legacy of the gods and took control of Sky City. At the same time, they were also regarded as the heirs by the "gods", allowing them to inherit the wisdom of the old era.

In Sky City, there is a Prometheus.

It contains the manufacturing method of the airship.

However, the wisdom of the old era is too profound, and it is impossible for one person to digest the knowledge in it, so the three of them each took charge of a direction.

The only woman among them is in charge of the engine of the airship, while Roger is in charge of the research and development of the main body of the airship, and the last Mobo is in charge of the weapon system.

According to legend, in Prometheus, it is recorded that the final form of the airship in the old era used an energy jet engine, and its speed could even exceed the speed of sound by accelerating and discharging high-speed energy to do work.

However, that is too difficult, it belongs to the top wisdom of the old era, and this kind of wisdom, even the current human beings cannot bear it.

However, Yingying is also very smart. She started with the most primitive engine technology, and finally created the earliest airship, which is made of wood and is relatively light. The steam engine used is only three to four kilometers per hour, but it can already achieve vertical launch. drop.

Roger's ideal is to build a free country. He opened the sky city and sold the empty boats he built to everyone who pursues adventure and desires freedom.

His personality charm has attracted many people, and one after another was moved by him to conquer the sky with him, and conquer this territory that belongs to God.

At that time, the area of ​​the Sea of ​​Rot was larger than it is now. People from all over the world had little communication, and their development levels were different. Some places had huge mobile cities like Baicheng, while some places were still primitive tribes.

These places are like isolated islands one after another, isolated from the world. It was the first group of people who drove airships to connect these isolated islands and became a bridge between isolated islands, allowing them to trade and communicate with each other. items.

The Sky Chamber of Commerce was gradually established on this basis.

But then Molybdenum clashed with Roger's ideas.

He believes that with the power of Sky City, absolute air supremacy, and the financial resources of a transit station for world trade, it is enough to sweep away any power in the world.

Even Baicheng can't face the continuous bombing by airships. They have the qualifications to dominate the world. They can unify the whole world, integrate the power of the whole world, and reproduce the glory of the old era!
Let human beings once again become the masters of this land!
But Roger thinks that's not what he thinks of as freedom.

Once this war starts, it will only bring endless pain, killing and death to the people on land.

He didn't want the airship to explore the world, the sky city that symbolizes freedom, to become a machine that kills human beings.

They have experienced many years of quarrels, and the three of them have gradually gone their separate ways from the initial like-mindedness.

Finally, one night, Molybdenum raised a rebellion in Sky City.

He led people with the same ideas as him to attack the core of Sky City and snatch the core of Prometheus. At that time, Roger's wife Yingying also died accidentally because of the rebellion, and her body was taken away by Mobo .

And Mobo joined Baicheng with the technology of Prometheus and dozens of airships.

Later, Sky City and Baicheng fought for four months. Although Sky City had empty boats, Baicheng had stood on that land for a hundred years, not to mention they also had empty boats.

In the end, it ended with a tie between the two.

The engine system of Sky City suffered a fatal blow due to Yingying's death.

The Prometheus system was also robbed, and subsequent upgrades had to rely entirely on Sky City itself.

Although there was a complete engine production line in Sky City at that time, the upgrade was extremely slow.

In the past ten years, due to the death of Mark, the chief engineer of Sky City, the engine technology has also fallen into a stagnation, so it doesn't matter whether it is replaced or not. "

Xunying picked up a glass of water and took a sip. The more he drank the hot cocoa, the thirstier he became. After such a long talk, clear water is the most suitable.

He raised his head, "After hearing this story, how do you feel?"

"Slightly bloody." Lincheng said.

Xunying shrugged, "This is the version that is circulated among us air merchants. It has probably undergone many revisions. No one knows the truth."

"You Sky City and Bai City have such a big grievance, can you still go to Bai City for trade?" Da Vinci asked curiously.

"How many years have passed, that was 70 years ago.

Even if people survived at that time, they would have to be in their 90s. "Xunying said, "What's more, Sky Chamber of Commerce and Sky City are two different concepts. "

"The Sky Chamber of Commerce was established by Sky City, consisting of countless space merchants. These space merchants are independent individuals and have no obligation to obey Sky City, and Sky City is nothing more than a place for communication. Just a port."

"It's really "freedom"." Lincheng said with emotion.

"That's right, if it weren't for Roger's enlightenment, we probably wouldn't be here now," Xun Ying said.

Da Vinci said at this moment, "Baicheng has more advanced airship technology than you, so there is no intention to seize Sky City?"

"Sky City's self-developed engine production line is not good enough, but Sky City has money." Xunying said.

"A large number of airlines from all over the world stop at Sky City every day, and the tax revenue alone is an unimaginable sum.

All kinds of things from the Old Era collected by air merchants from all over the world are often traded in Sky City. It can be said that the relics of the Old Era circulating in Sky City are the most in the world.

Even Baicheng doesn't have such a channel.

In the land of the Black Sea, you may not be able to see one or two old era engines a year, but in Sky City, you can often see them.

However, even so, the engine of the old era technology is still a sky-high price.

However, Sky City still relies on financial resources to forcibly build a fleet of old era technology that is enough to make Baicheng afraid, which is completely different from my broken ship. "

"The banknote ability is really useful no matter what time it is." Lincheng said with emotion.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to ask why he didn't disassemble the engine of the old era to develop his own engine technology, the technology is too bad, it's not from the same era at all, even a genius like Tesla can't understand some of the engine of the old era Things, not to mention these new humans.

"It's a pity that the old era engine is basically monopolized by Sky City, otherwise I will upgrade it, and I won't be afraid of those air robbers." Xunying sighed.

At this time, Tesla finally finished checking the engine and came down from the engine room.

"How is it?" Lincheng asked pretendingly.

"The crankshaft is broken and the piston is broken. Repairing is equivalent to redoing." Tesla said.

"It's okay, our mechanic said the same thing, I was already mentally prepared." Xunying laughed.

But then, I heard Tesla continue.

"It can be replaced with our hydrogen motor, and the speed should be increased by 20.00%.

If you don't mind having to come to us to replenish energy in the future, I can install it for you. "

Xun Ying's smile faltered, and after reacting for a while, he said in disbelief.

"Increase... 20.00%?"
