I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 174 I want to fly higher
Hope sails out of port.

It will go straight up along the Snow River, provide certain supplies for the towns along the way, and reach the end point, Snow River City.

The artillery, gunpowder, and shells on board are enough for Snow River City to fight another large-scale battle.

At the same time, the wounded will return with Hope.

No hope would have been able to do this without a steam engine.

Technology has completely changed the war.

And Lu Deng's mind is no longer on the gains and losses of one city and one place.

After the Hope set off, while consolidating the defense, Luden accelerated the progress of the transformation of the second steamship. At the same time, he got into the small black room, studied the goblins and captured orcs, and did various experiments.

For several days, the weather was calm and nothing happened.

After filling their stomachs, orcs possess great wisdom. Even ordinary animals can know how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

The orcs who had been educated by artillery in Snow River City would not take the initiative to provoke Snow Valley Town, which has heavy firepower.

For the orcs, it's enough to fill their stomachs, and they don't care what they use to fill them up.

In this comfortable atmosphere, even the tension in Xuegu Town was blown down a bit.

On this day, Luden had just finished the experiment and took a cold shower to wash off the smell of blood on his body.

Judge Enwei leaned on the chair and asked casually,

"What did you research?"

She didn't care much about the war, but cared more about what Luden was doing.

Loudon asked,
"Some people have captured orcs for research before. What's the result?"

"no result."

Judge Enwei looked serious, and said seriously,
"Orcs may be creatures with a strong sense of glory. After being captured, they will not say anything, and will only attack everything around them like a madman. They will not eat or drink until they die."

In fact, there are many ways to capture orcs.

Whether using traps or poison, even a dozen soldiers rushed forward
These captured orcs can still maintain normal at first, although they can't communicate, but given food and water, they will still eat.

When the bell from the high platform rang, the orcs were like crazy.

They want to escape from prison, and they don't want to stay in this land for a moment.

Luden dismissed Judge Enwei's statement.

"The sense of glory belongs to intelligent creatures, and wild dogs don't have a sense of glory."

After all, the leader of the wild dogs will not trick the wild dogs to die for the collective.

Where the sense of honor comes from is a complicated question.

However, Luden knew very well that this was a kind of spiritual placebo.

It can belong to a dwarf, it can belong to a human, it can belong to an elf.

Only it wouldn't belong to the mad orcs.

To take a step back, even if the orcs really have a sense of honor, it is impossible for every orc to be strong and unyielding.

Orcs are not allowed to have traitors?
In other words, the performance of the orcs was not voluntary, but was interfered by something!

Combined with the performance of the goblin, Luden has been able to draw basic conclusions.

On the high platform, there should be some "legacy of Qiyun Kingdom" running in various parts of Shenbang.

These heritages have only one purpose - to protect humans from being swallowed by beast hordes.

The way to protect humans is also very simple:
These facilities will emit a sound wave that is inaudible to the human ear, but the orcs can hear it, and under the influence of the sound wave, they will be extremely irritable and painful!

In order to avoid the sound waves, they have been hiding in the snowy fields in the north all year round and exiled themselves.

The ringing of the bell on the high platform means that the corresponding facilities have entered the stage of self-inspection and need regular maintenance and maintenance
The orcs took advantage of this gap to go south to plunder.

energy supply?

Mostly solar.

Unlikely with nuclear power.

As for the equipment that will not break down after 800 years?

Luden was not surprised by this.

There is obviously a problem with the direction of technological development of Qiyun Kingdom.

Moreover, for some reason, the queen has an almost morbid pursuit of the operating period of technological products, the shelf life of medicines, etc. during a certain period of time.

Externally, the Queen claimed that it was for the development of interstellar travel.

The biggest enemy of long interstellar travel is time, and this excuse is irrefutable.

Obviously, Star Trek ultimately failed.

Humans can't wait to destroy themselves before they leave this galaxy.

Of course, these are not what Luden needs to worry about right now.

He just had a rough guess. As for the truth of the matter, it needs further verification.

Today, a few goblins accidentally deafened themselves while playing.

If they wait until the bell rings again, they will still be able to maintain their sanity.

Then, Luden's conjecture can be verified.

And, whatever the orcs were afraid of.

It is not difficult for Luden to conclude:

When the bell rings again, the beast horde will flee back to the ice fields in the north.

At this time, if Snow River City takes the initiative to attack and cooperate with Nice Castle to attack from both sides, it can cause a devastating blow to the orcs!

If you want to achieve this level, you can't rely on Pangge alone.

Luden must also be present on the battlefield.
However, the two steamships had already set off, and ordinary boats could not go upstream quickly.

As for the horses, they are now in the territory of the orcs. Riding a horse is equivalent to Meituan's takeaway and door-to-door delivery.

How to get to Snow River City?

Could it be possible to put on wings and fly over?

In this regard, Luden has his own arrangements.

He sorted out the materials in his hands and began to make the final preparations before departure.

A few days later, the wind was sunny and the sky was cloudless.

Luden invited Justice Enwei to travel with him.

Walking on the road, Luden said something for no reason.

"The wind is fine today."

wind direction?

Judge Enwei was a little confused, what does it have to do with the direction of the wind?
While the two were talking, a young man in a white coat came over, followed by a trembling steward.

As Jeff walked, he whispered in Ryan's ear,

"Master, I beg you, please don't go crazy, please don't."

Jeff was extremely nervous.

As a member of the Inquisition, these years, Jeff is well aware of what the word 'Luden' means.

In the Inquisition, half the people demanded that this evil guy be hanged.

The other half requested that Lu Deng be pushed to the altar and reincarnated as a saint.

In any case, Lu Deng, one of the Big Three, is now the most powerful person in the Kingdom of God, not even one of them.

The feud between Lane and Luden.
It's hard to say in one or two sentences.

Jeff knew that the seed called hatred took root in Ryan's heart and grew into a poisonous snake, hiding in the darkest corner.
Ryan nodded impatiently and said perfunctorily,

"I ate two apples today!"

"Everyone is here, let's go!"

After Ryan and others arrived at the scene, Luden didn't talk nonsense, and directly led the three of them to an open space.

In the open space, a 'huge' monster appeared!

The ball bag made of cloth bulges and floats in the air.

And under the ball bag, a platform like a stove is burning, and a hanging basket is hung under the ball bag.
"Get to know each other, this thing is called a hot air balloon, let's take this to Snow River City."

While introducing, Lu Deng stepped forward and greeted everyone.

"Ready to go."

To Snow River City? !
Judge Enwei never expected that this was the outing that Luden was talking about? !

Judge Enwei has no ability to refuse a strange and exciting journey.

Most importantly, she believed that Luden didn't want to hang up yet.

After jumping into the hanging basket, Luden reached out and picked up Judge Enwei, followed by Ryan and Jeff.

A total of four passengers, all entered the gondola.

At his command, the ropes holding the balloon were untied, while Loudon dropped sandbags from the gondola.

The rest of the people were holding on to the edge of the hanging basket with both hands, feeling the shaking under their feet, and their faces gradually turned pale as the height climbed up little by little.

Only Ryan was laughing, laughing.

When he was in the air, a gust of wind blew his white coat away, and now he was wearing black and white striped clothes, crying and laughing like a madman.

Luden controlled the heat while maintaining the balance of the hot air balloon.

The takeoff process was much smoother than expected.

The hot air balloon gradually stabilized. Luden maintained the wind wings on both sides and adjusted the direction of advancement.

He took the time to look back and comfort the rest of the passengers,

"Don't be afraid, we have brought enough fuel, food, and water. If you are lucky, you can reach the next town in three hours!"

Of course, Luden didn't expect to fly to Snow River City in one go.

After a year of experiments, the safety of hot air balloons is very reliable, but battery life is always a big problem.

During the flight, fuel, water, and food need to be replenished. People also need convenience and sleep, and flying at night is too dangerous.

From the very beginning, Luden's plan was to supply supplies along the way. Along the Snow River, the towns on this trip had supply points arranged by Luden in advance,

Half a year ago, a hot air balloon had already flown this route.

A total of twelve trial runs were made, six of which crashed, but only two resulted in casualties.

The flying altitude of a hot air balloon is not high. As long as it is operated properly, even if it crashes, it can guarantee the safety of passengers.

Judge Enwei showed an excited smile,

Life soars above the sky, and if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

She had never felt such excitement.

Judge Enwei was so excited that it was difficult to breathe.

"What if it crashes?" she pressed.

Justice Envi believed that Luden would not take his own life as a joke.

Luden said confidently,

"I brought a parachute!"

Although everyone doesn't know what a parachute means,
However, according to Luden, as long as there is a parachute, he will not fall to his death.

Judge Enwei's expression softened a lot.

Just because she likes excitement doesn't mean she doesn't value her own life.

In relative safety, pursue maximum stimulation.

Justice Envi looked down, and everything became smaller.

They are really flying!

Looking at the sky above his head, Ryan believed that he was the highest lunatic in Shenbang.

A lunatic who is still alive.

Thinking of this, Ryan laughed even louder.

This laughter is somewhat arrogant.

Luden said quietly,

"I only brought two sets of parachutes."

There are four people in the gondola.

Laughter came to an abrupt end.
