"Start to float."
Under the influence of the improved floating magic array, the airship smoothly broke away from the ground and floated higher and higher. There was no violent reaction during the process. To a time traveler, it was like sitting in an upward elevator.
There is a ring of real-life footage of the exterior on the inside of the cabin, which is a feature taken from the Silverbeard Dwarf Peace Arms Helmet. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, it is mainly used to detect enemies with the naked eye. After all, the Sid is a fully enclosed cabin with no windows to the outside world.
Now through this real-life scene, everyone on board saw that the horizon was getting further and further away, and the snow-capped mountains below were getting smaller and smaller, and then they realized that they were rising. We encountered some crosswinds along the way, causing the airship to sway. Although it did not cause much harm, there is still room for improvement in terms of stability.
Soon, the airship passed through the thin clouds and reached a height that ordinary flying birds and monsters could not reach. The clouds are like the sea, sparse and sparse. Looking down through the clouds, you can see the Jura Mountains, which originally looked like a natural chasm. Such a stunning scenery is something that many people rarely see in their lifetime.
The black dragon Augustus was also amazed by this. Having been unable to fly for a long time, he had almost forgotten the feeling of looking down at the world. And at such a height, it is indeed unlikely to encounter natural predators.
"Engine start."
The two engines located outside the cabin started running after being ignited. At this time, the advantage of having the engine externally becomes obvious. No matter the noise or black exhaust smoke, it will not spread in the cabin. Even the slight vibrations caused by the engine are absorbed through specially designed brackets.
It maintained an idling state at first. But because the airship floating in the air has almost no friction, even if it is just idling, the propeller blades that maintain the lowest speed still slowly push the huge body of the airship.
The blades were taken from the goblin airship and looked to be in the best condition. Of course, it has been modified to a certain extent to make the shape of the blades on both sides consistent with the counterweight.
Lin asked behind him: "Jermaine, engine status report."
"everything is normal."
At this time, Halumi asked curiously: "Teacher, have we started flying? Why don't we feel it? What is the current speed?"
"The current speed is about 11 kilometers per hour." Kaya, who is responsible for monitoring the data, replied.
Halumi, who was a little confused, asked again: "Is this considered fast or slow?"
Lin replied: "The average human running speed is between ten and thirty kilometers per hour. At the current speed of the airship, a person who has been trained should be able to easily outrun the Sid."
The dumbfounded Halumi asked directly: "Then we still have to take the airship and just go down and run."
"You haven't pushed the accelerator yet. Okay, let's go. The car will go into three and move forward at full speed." Lin pushed the second throttle valve responsible for the engine throttle to the bottom.
The roar and vibration of the engine running at full speed cannot be completely blocked by the airship's bulkhead, even if it is external. At the same time, the sudden acceleration also caused everyone to fall backward into their seats.
The two goblins thought they were veterans, but the one who didn't sit down properly became a gourd on the ground. They scrambled back into their seats, hugging the chairs fixed to the floor and yelling.
Lin glanced at the situation behind him and said with a smile: "This level of acceleration won't work."
Except for the rolling goblin, everyone else was hugging the chair in fear, with few exceptions. The only two who could be called calm were a lich and a humanized black dragon. 101 Chinese website
But after all, the Sid is a closed environment without strong winds. What really makes people feel overwhelmed is the moment it starts. Moreover, aircraft are no different than vehicles traveling on land, and it does not take much time to reach top speed. Soon, the airship entered a stage of stable flight.
Lin checked various data of the Sid flying at full speed, and reported to everyone at the same time, saying: "Good morning, fellow passengers, welcome to take the first flight of the Sid, from the disaster site in the Jura Mountains to the city of Abadan. It is expected that The flight time is one hour and fifty-six minutes. In order to ensure the safety of the airship, please do not use weapons, firearms, crossbows and other equipment during the entire flight, and it is also prohibited to cast any magic or dragon breath. Please sit tight. On the seat, it is best to find a rope to fix yourself to the seat. The current altitude is 28,000 meters, the flight speed is 430 kilometers per hour, the air pressure outside the airship is 100 Pa, and the temperature is minus 50 degrees Celsius. Five degrees, everything is normal in the cabin. The weather outside is sunny and windy, which means there will be no climate change in the stratosphere. There are no life jackets under the seats, and there are no oxygen masks falling above the seats. There are no stewardesses in the cabin to help you. Service, please handle all needs by yourself. If an emergency occurs, please follow the instructions of the escape manual that has not yet been printed. Please use weapons to break through the bulkhead for the escape route. Passengers who have experienced a crash must be able to do it the second time Escape with ease. It’s now 8:26 a.m., and this is Captain Tripwood Lin Gablebrach. Thank you for your ride. I hope this flight is safe and smooth. I also wish you a happy future. Have a nice day. Three Q’s will make you happy.”
When the captain of the Earth-like passenger plane spoke, most people were confused. It meant that their thoughts were not on this, and only the money-hungry goblins' eyes lit up. The quality of the entire flight seems to be much higher after such a long distance of carrying passengers. However, the content still needs to be slightly modified. Totokani is using the magic stone book in his hand to record this passage in it.
As for the fact that it takes nearly two hours to reach Abadan, Totokani just smiled. His previous experience was that starting from Waikato, crossing the Jura Mountains and arriving in Abadan usually takes three days if everything goes well. How could it be shortened to such an exaggerated time?
Unless it's a technology like 'Time' or 'Magic Stone Book', what the magician uses himself is different from what he was taught. There are errors in the middle, which leads to this cognitive difference.
Others, including the black dragon Augustus and the goblin Polly, stood in front of the external reality screens on both sides of the airship, looking at the scenery outside. The child held by Halumi was also attracted by the blue scenery outside and the vast greenery below, and remained silent without making any noise.
Their common feeling was: "It doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast." Augustus said it unabashedly. Others nodded subconsciously in agreement.
Someone who is questioned in this way actually has no confidence to refute. On the one hand, being at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it really feels like there is no speed.
Secondly, the fastest bird on earth is the falcon. According to the introduction on the Animal Planet channel, it can reach a maximum speed of more than 380 kilometers per hour. Although there is still a gap of forty or fifty kilometers from the current flying speed of the Sid, this place is a lost place. No one has ever measured how fast those flying magical beasts are.
... Go and have a look? According to Black Dragon, even a monster like the airship would not challenge it easily, so there should be no danger.
"Kaya, how long can we use the fuel we have now? It will come out in a while." Lin asked the girl responsible for monitoring the airship's condition.
Since it is not simply about the remaining capacity, Kaya has to make an estimate based on consumption and elapsed time. Fortunately, someone is going full speed after starting the engine, so the estimation is relatively simple. The girl who returned to her seat to calculate quickly gave the answer and said: "Teacher, if we maintain the current speed, we estimate that we can still fly for sixteen to eighteen hours."
There is more fuel than expected, which means you can go a little crazy. Lin adjusted the navigation map and changed it to the enemy search mode, and said to the back: "Okay, everyone, if you have nothing to do, just go back to your seats and sit down. Let's fly down now to find some friends and say hello. By the way. Test the performance of the Sid."
"What do you mean?" Jermaine, who always likes to get to the bottom of things, didn't finish asking this question. Someone directly leaned down at an angle of fifteen degrees and started to rush downward. The human head placed in front of him was shaking back and forth, as if he wanted to headbutt a certain driver.
With the help of gravity, the speed of the airship began to increase again. On the contrary, the altitude decreased rapidly. Lin dropped from a height of 28,000 meters to 6,000 meters in one breath.
On Earth, there are very few birds that can fly at such a height. But it seems that there are still many creatures in the Lost Lands that can live at such a height, but they are all left behind by the passing of the Sid.
The enemy detection radar captured a high-energy biological reaction on an independent peak in front of the mountain wall. It seems to be a monster, but what kind it is cannot be determined. Lin pulled the second throttle, retreated two steps, and said at the same time: "The car is moving forward at a slight speed. Everyone has grabbed the things and needs to make a sharp turn."
"What does it mean to be anxious~" Jermaine, who had not learned the lesson, relaxed his hands again for his trivial curiosity. Then, during someone's left-hand maneuver, it was completely tragic.
Stitched Corpse Stone's head changed from shaking back and forth to side to side, like a metronome. At the same time, the Sid circled the mountain peak where the Warcraft was located with the smallest radius. But the huge centrifugal force made everyone inside miserable. Fortunately, we had the experience of starting it up the previous time, so although everyone was still a little uncomfortable this time, no one else rolled to the ground except Jermaine.
It circled around the mountain peak, round and round, with a strong sense of provocation, but there was no response from the other side. Lin also thought that he had found the nest of a land creature by mistake. The one on the other side can't reach the sky, so naturally he can't cause trouble for himself.
Just when he was about to give up and find the next target, several lightning bolts as thick as his arms shot out and hit the shell of the huge inorganic thing called the airship. Along with the electric light, several huge eagle-shaped monsters with sky blue feathers and bright yellow eyes appeared.
They have a resounding name—Thunder Falcon, a rare creature that ranks among the top dangerous monsters in the land. The main reason why it is dangerous is because it is too fast. Basically, as long as you are targeted by the Thunder Falcon, it will be difficult to escape.
