Chapter 290 Gifts on the Aircraft

The airship hovering in mid-air trembled insignificantly, which could only be seen clearly by the dynamic strength of high-level warriors. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that the changes in the airship would not be visible at all.

After the tremor, the sound of mechanical operation, the friction of gears, the collision of metal, the sharp sound of jets, and various sounds resounded in the aerospace craft throughout the sky.

The disturbing sound lasted for several minutes before it stopped. It didn't disappear completely, but it was no longer as noisy and harsh as before. The continuous sound of mechanical operation was connected together in a coordinated rhythm, like a mechanical symphony. It doesn't sound like a flavor.

Not only the machinery, but also the energy and magic of the crystals erupted at the same time.

The fluctuations between the two are more obvious than the sound of machinery. Ordinary people cannot feel it, but warriors can perceive it clearly. At least five thousand gold coins... No, at least twenty thousand gold coins of the highest quality crystals are used. Activated, it seems that the cost of floating is exaggeratedly high, even more terrifying than the simultaneous firing of several crystal energy cannons.

Of course, if the problem of consumption is eliminated, the aerostat in front of you is simply a masterpiece of magic.The power of crystal energy, magic, and machinery was perfectly integrated to make a medium-sized ship float into the sky. It must be admitted that Yulia is simply a genius in magic. In comparison, those in the City of Roses Guys who lost all their hair in order to study mechanical sweeping tools are simply a bunch of idiots.

When everything returned to calm, the energy in the aeroboat moved with a smooth fluctuation, and the chains holding the aerostat were untied. However, it did not float away, but slowly moved along the pier, like the pier square in the dazzling capital. Coming.

With the approach of the airship, hundreds of Wingmen flew into the sky and danced in the air. The whistle of the sky, the ring of the wind, and the drum of the sky, three musical instruments were played at the same time, just like a celebration for the launch of the airship. celebrations.

But don’t get me wrong, there is no celebration at all, it’s just that these idle and extremely bored guys couldn’t hold back when they saw something flying in the sky, so they flew up to join in the fun. They thought that the casual wing people would do it for them. Celebrating something that happens all the time is just too much to think about.

The closer the aerostat gets, the more powerful it is.

After all, the floating city is too far away from the ground, so the feeling is not that obvious, but the aerostat is different. It has floated within reach, and the pressure brought by the huge hull hits the face, making people subconsciously want to retreat a few steps. step.

This is the first time several people have seen an artificial object that can sail freely. It must be admitted that Yulia's idea is right. If it can be popularized, it will definitely subvert the lives and common sense of intelligent creatures.

However, activating the light crystal once will cost at least [-] gold coins. Plus the energy consumed by the other two powers, it is estimated that [-] gold coins are not enough. Plus the consumption during travel, this trip without [-] gold coins is unthinkable. .With such a huge capital expenditure, even an ordinary wingman may not be able to afford frequent voyages. If it really wants to be popularized, it will take a few hundred years.

The airship flew over the pier square, and more than 20 windows suddenly opened on the bottom of the ship, and a short metal tube protruded from each window. With a chirping sound, all the metal tubes sprayed out at the same time A large amount of gas was released, and at the same time, the aerostat began to slowly descend, and finally stopped its downward trend less than half a meter from the ground of the square.

"Tsk, tsk, it's a strong sense of sight." Shuer nodded thoughtfully, "The more I look at it, the more it looks like the jet nozzle of a ghost fighter."

"You guessed it right." Yulia looked at the hovering aerostat from a distance, her eyes full of motherly emotions. But it's no wonder, after all, she had deep feelings for the aerostat, "The original aerostat One of the major flaws of the boat is that it cannot land after it flies into the sky."

"Huh?" The people present were all land races. They were instinctively afraid of the sky. They were all startled when they heard Yulia's words. "Can you fly but not land?"

"Actually, you can also land. Just turn off the flotation device and let it fall."

"Hey, don't say such terrible things." Even the brave and fearless knight couldn't bear it. Dak shuddered. "I don't dare to sit anymore. I applied to ride a horse to the Lion City by myself."

"Don't worry, the problem has been solved." Knowing that Dak was talking nonsense, Yulia still explained, "Once the floating energy is less than gravity, the airship will descend, even if it is only a little bit smaller, under the effect of its own weight The descent speed will be very fast, and it will be faster and faster, and the final result will be a crash. I have tried to hover again every few meters, but every time I have to rely on the airship itself to bear the gravity Tearing. In order to reduce the weight, the strength of the airship is not high. Such tearing is very fatal. If the problem is not solved, the airship may disintegrate in the space when it lands. Heh, all the non-wing passengers Falling to death would probably become a huge scandal.”

"Understood." Shuer nodded, "Use a controllable jet method to offset the force of descent, make up for the shortcomings of the magic drive itself, and achieve the effect of a uniform or even decelerated descent. Just now I saw that the speed of the airship's descent is getting faster and faster. The slower it is, that’s probably why. It seems you’re not exaggerating. The trip to other world projection really brought you a lot of inspiration.”

"Well, it's a very interesting idea, and it happens to be in the blind spot of our thinking. So, there are really a lot of things that different civilizations can learn from. Well, you can get on the boat."

Entering the suspended state, the aerostat stopped very steadily. Even sea ships would rise and fall with the waves, but the aerostat did not even sway. However, this is also related to the wind protection array outside the Brilliant City. If it were replaced by the wind In a big place, it probably wouldn't be so stable.Half a meter above the ground, a section of the bottom of the ship suddenly opens slowly outwards. The interior is like steps. When it is placed on the ground, it just forms an escalator for passengers to follow the escalator into the interior of the ship.

"It's quite ambitious." Xiu'er teased with a half-smile, "It seems that from the time of design, it was prepared for the land race."

"You really guessed wrong this time. The original idea of ​​​​the aerostat was only for the winged people to use themselves. Your land race is naturally afraid of the sky, so it was not intended for you to use. For this reason, even if it cannot be solved at the beginning of its construction The problem of high-drop landing has still been raised. Anyway, we wingmen can fly directly down and don’t need it to land. As for the facilities prepared for the ground races, they were actually renovated in the past two years.”

"So that's it, huh? What's wrong?" Xiuer found someone pulling his clothes behind him. When he turned around, Eddie and Sophie, two children from the temple, were looking at the aerospace craft in awe, grinning from ear to ear.The one who pulled him was Eddie, the naughtiest among the children. He tugged at the corner of Shuuer's clothes out of curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Can't the winged humans fly by themselves? Why do they want to make such a large aerostat for themselves?" ?”

"Don't you have legs too? Why don't you walk to the Lion City by yourself? The principle is the same." Although his attitude has always been fierce, the children all know that the priest never minds satisfying their curiosity, and it is said that he wants to cultivate them His ability to associate and think, God knows what kind of ability it is.

"That's almost it. There are not many passengers transported today. Well, in fact, there have never been many. Only those who are officially recognized by the Brilliant City, or who have received an official request from the Lion City to entrust transportation, are eligible to ride on the aerostat. Often It takes three to five days to save a group of people before sending one ship. You are lucky, just in time to make the ship today."

While explaining this, Yulia took everyone aboard the long-awaited aerostat.After entering, there is a closed passage without any entrance or exit. Follow the stairs at the end of the passage all the way up to the deck that passengers are eligible to use.

The deck is like a simple rest area, with a restaurant, an open-air bar, and various entertainment facilities for passengers to relieve boredom during the journey.It looked like it was not much different from the deck of a seagoing ship except for the lack of a mast and a steering wheel. However, when they thought that it would fly into the sky with everything, everyone felt that this thing was much more classy than a seagoing ship.

Those passengers who came up first seemed to find everything novel at this time, and they had opened their mouths wide and entered a state of sluggishness. Heh, a group of idiots who have never seen the world. The Lord taught us not to be blinded by the prosperity of the world. Hey, that one over there Underage archbishop, can you stop picking on other people's decks?If you dig it out, your brother will have to pay for it.

Of course the great Lisa would not do such a childish thing. What you see is all an illusion.Forcing Xiuer to admit this fact, under the leadership of Yulia, from the other end of the deck, a heavily guarded closed hatch, entered the inner space of the airship.

Of course, the operating space cannot be entered casually. This is no joke. Except for the winged people, there is no guarantee for the land races in the sky. Once the airship is destroyed by the enemy from the inside and crashes, it falls from a height of several hundred meters, and the surroundings are surrounded. There is nothing that can slow down, and even the legend will fall to death as long as it cannot fly.

Therefore, even if this group of people has a very important status, it is impossible for Wingman to let them enter the operating space without Yulia's leadership.

"Come and visit." Yulia didn't have any scruples. After experiencing the projection from another world, through mutual tests between Xiuer and several team members, everyone basically saw each other's character clearly. To these people, she still She felt relieved to send out the invitation because she knew...

"Forget it." Xiure refused immediately. If others don't care, it doesn't mean that he can't care either. You should always avoid suspicion in such an important place. When you can avoid it, you should try your best to avoid it.

"Okay, let's just go to the cockpit. I've put the gift there." Oh, he really refused. A person with a sense of propriety will not make others annoying.

"Can't you take it out?" Shuer didn't even want to enter the cockpit. This was the hard work of Yulia and even the Gilselais family. It was too sensitive.

"Don't worry, there are no important equipment in the cockpit, it's just for controlling the heading." Yulia curled her lips, "I don't even care, so what are you worried about?"

I had no choice but to be forced into the cockpit by Yulia for the gift. It was definitely not because I was curious, well, it really wasn't.

As soon as I entered, before I had time to look around, I heard a voice that I have never forgotten.

"Welcome, Commander."
