Spore Story

Chapter 548 Swordfish Trek: UFO
September [-] is not a good day, but it is a day that must never be forgotten.

==========
"Xiangyin, you have done a good job, keep working hard."

The sky is clear and the pterosaurs are flying around. It is the new year on the floating island. Immigrants have taken this opportunity to move into their new homes, making everyone's first new year on the floating island lively.However, as an elder, Kong Huan's time for wandering outside has also run out, and he needs to return to the elders' home to supplement his work, and at the same time celebrate the New Year with his relatives, friends and acquaintances.

"Don't worry about A08's problem, Elder Kong Huan, we will do our best to serve everyone. The 45 election will be held as scheduled, and A08 will be on the right track."

This is a large airport on the side of A08 Xianglong City. In order not to occupy the surface area, the port is set on the side of the floating island. Various openings in it are suitable for the entry of small and medium-sized spaceships. Spaceships within 300 meters in length and 100 meters in diameter All can enter, as for exceeding, not to mention that there are no friends, if there is, just continue to float outside.

And this airport will also become Xianglong City's main external port in the future.

At this time, a shuttle-shaped airship with a gorgeous appearance was staying on the tarmac in the port.

After bidding farewell to the management of A08, Kong Huan and others have already boarded this high-speed floating ship that is expected to be assigned to various important departments. However, there are only three test ships now, and one of them was pulled by Kong Huan this time as a test ship. Taking a ship is definitely misappropriating official duties.

Of course, Kong Huan's explanation is that the long-distance flight capability of the contact test spacecraft, so the spacecraft is also equipped with a pair of technicians.

The Jianyu 1B high-speed floating boat is also the work of the floating power design bureau (Pengzu now has such a floating boat design bureau (=.=)), and they designed this high-speed floating boat in 70 days. The main body of the airship.

Different from ordinary floating boats, this kind of floating boat also has wings on both sides as balance wings.

There is no sail, but it is equipped with an exposed shell magnetic field power engine that is still under test. It is like a skeleton, wrapping the spacecraft and providing the ability to fly like an energy body.

As for the small propellers like hands and feet, they are completely reduced to auxiliary power for take-off and landing.

Of course, because it is equipped with a magnetic field power engine with an exposed shell for the test, without sophisticated testing equipment and automatic control equipment such as computers, this kind of engine cannot be popularized at all, because at this time, the friends also have Only the energy body can rely on its own control ability to assist in controlling this kind of engine.

This makes the high-speed airships of the Swordfish series something that only energy bodies can drive.If it is to be popularized, I am afraid that it can only wait for the computer that is still in the illusory brain to become an entity, and have no less than soul-level energy body computing power (refer to the standard of human home computer in 2012).

The elder attendant waiting in the cockpit sat down firmly after Konghuan entered, and then put his hands on the two spherical objects on the cockpit.

After connecting his own magnetic sense to the spaceship's magnetic field power engine through spiritual perception, he began to manipulate the fan engine to put the spaceship into a flight start attitude.

Accompanied by a slight vibration, after being lifted by the pumice stone to a height of 10 meters above the ground of the airport, the spacecraft, driven by the fan engine, aligned itself in the direction of the calculated destination, and slowly approached the entrance of the port.

"Swordfish 1B, high-speed craft number A04-001 requests departure."

"Clear the channel, and avoid all personnel... Confirm that there is no obstacle ahead, and you can leave the port."

"clear."

On the shuttle-shaped outer shell of the spaceship, a strong electric light began to flow along the magnetic field power engine, and there was even this slight thunderous sound.

On the ground, the people who were still looking at this spaceship, which now has only 3 ships in the whole family, suddenly turned their eyes away from the spaceship in exclamation, one eye was damaged, and only the energy body can look directly at this strong energy shine.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the people on the ground who were closer seemed to be slightly pushed by something, and quickly stepped back a few steps before barely standing still. When they looked at the sky again, the ship was about 51 meters long. The spaceship with a main body diameter of 16 meters and a wingspan of 33 meters has disappeared without a trace.

Even in the direction the spacecraft was heading, only the telescope on the airport tower could see a rapidly disappearing black spot.

"Okay, so fast!"

When this spaceship landed at the port, because it was about to enter the port, its speed was no different from other spaceships.

For a moment, there were endless voices of approval.

"If only I could have one."

A tower commander who obviously likes to pursue excitement can't help but express what many people think, but the manager who is on duty at the tower just pats him on the shoulder sympathetically and said.

"Are you an energy body? Do you have 2000 million? Most importantly, do you have that reaction speed?"

"..." The commander was speechless for a moment.

Everyone who works at the airport control tower knows how expensive the floating spaceship is.

Even after mass production, taking the passenger spaceship of Lao Yuanren and the others would cost about 1400 million copper coins for a main body without decoration, which is still a large airship that can carry nearly 3000 people.

As for the swordfish that Kong Huan and others were riding at this time, because most of the weight was diverted to load the magnetic field engine, it was designed to carry less than 100 people, but it needed 2000 million copper coins.

Of course, the whole family now plans the economy, so the actual cost is not that big, but if the needs of the normal society are restored, I am afraid that there will be only a lot more.

Moreover, Jianyu is not as beautiful as everyone thinks.

At this time, in the airspace 08 kilometers away from the A3 floating island, a floating floating ship that is still smoking is floating in the air. It looks like it has been scrapped, but it is still floating in the sky, as if the air combat design of a poor-quality 3D game generally.

But really, it's all thanks to the pumice stone.

As for the magnetic field engine that everyone envied, it was still blowing smoke rings.

"Ahem, haven't you fixed it yet? Has the cause been found out?"

With a helpless and illusory face, he sat firmly on the captain's seat, but he could only watch the people below shuttle busy and helpless, because the design of the magnetic field engine involved too much professionalism, and he spent a long time in the elders' house thinking about the overall problem , but have no idea about it.

Fortunately, because the engine is a test product, there is also a small team of 9 engine testers on board, who just changed jobs to become maintenance workers.

However, the safety of these workers must be guaranteed by Kong Huan's thoughts. Of course, Kong Huan will never delay.

"Long, cough cough, elder, it seems that the explosion speed was too fast just now, and the engine frame on the shell of the hull rubbed against the air rapidly, ahh! It caused some fine parts to be burned, and then the short circuit caused the overall result to be damaged."

"Can it be repaired?"

"It's okay to move, but the specifics can only be adjusted back to the design bureau."

"Move, move, go."

Recalling the previous speed, everyone present was excited with fear on their faces. As for the comrade pilot, he was kicked to the corner by the crowd to carry maintenance materials with a frustrated face at this time.

What was the speed just now?

Because of the technical development of the Pengzu, it is a bit biased, especially only a few years before the appearance of the airship, and now because of the ice age, it has to vigorously develop the airship.

Therefore, it is inevitable to deviate in some details, for example, the airspeed indicator is an example.There is no airspeed indicator on the high-speed spacecraft, which is unprecedented (the ancients were all animals), and there will be no one in the future (everyone said that they must get it out after returning).

So the previous speed, everyone was completely clueless.

However, from the time the pilot started the engine to the time when he lost control of the spaceship due to panic and stopped on the side of the mountain in front of him, the A08 floating island in the eyes of everyone was far away...

"I really don't want my life."

"Yes."

The high speed not only caused the engine failure of the spaceship, but also caused the people who did not grasp the handrails to fall around, and the spaceship almost hit the mountain.

"After going back, Swordfish temporarily stopped flying and stopped production. After handing over the results of our experiments to the design bureau, I must ask them to perfect them one by one before continuing!"

"Yes!"

The researcher wiped off his cold sweat in unison in response to the order in an illusory calmness but with a tone of fear.This thing, even if you don't say it, everyone has to perfect it for the sake of life.

After leaving the port in the morning, it turned out that the ground world was completely dark until dusk, and the engine of the spacecraft could barely be used.

"Sure enough, I was in a hurry this time. I must reflect on myself when I go back."

Thinking this way, the spaceship with a different pilot began to slowly adjust its direction, and after the weak current flow tested that the engine was fine, the spaceship flew forward at a relatively gentle speed.However, due to the design of the engine, even if the pilot adjusted and controlled the energy output under the careful guidance of the technicians beside him, the spaceship still maintained a very high speed.

Maybe it looks like nothing in the air, but from the perspective of people who are still on the ground, it is not an ordinary thing.

"Brother, look! Shooting star, shooting star!" The younger sister grabbed her brother, ready to make a wish to the shooting star.

"Meteor? No, isn't the meteor dragging a long red tail? This should be a floating ship." After looking up, the knowledgeable brother shattered the little girl's fantasies and obtained the "little girl's Resentment'.

"No, it's a bird, don't you think it has wings?" A passer-by also looked towards the sky, and immediately denied the previous two guesses, waiting for the "little girl's support" and "a certain brother's glare".

"Where is a bird as big as a bird, you are an epic creature." The brother retorted decisively in order to hug his sister.

"Why can't it be an epic creature?" The passer-by immediately used the rebound skill.

"Ah." My brother was silent.

"You are all wrong!"

A man with glasses passing by gleamed his eyes, looked at the trail of white clouds brought by the fleeting objects in the sky, and said calmly: "That is neither a meteor, nor an airship, nor a bird, and of course it is not an epic creature... ..."

"what is that?"

"That's... a UFO!"

Plop, a 'corpse' fell on the ground.

"Hmph, the wisdom of mortals."

Pushing his eyes away, the man with glasses left a pile of corpses on the ground, and walked away with a basket of Xi Guo on his back.
