As soon as Uncle Wu finished speaking, the teenagers rushed to the big boat, quickly climbed up the gangway, and touched around the boat, looking around, with curious faces on their faces.
Zhao Lin did not rush to get on the boat, but slowly walked behind and looked at the giant boat carefully, feeling a little strange.
The Chenghua Sect sent such a huge ship just to pick up twenty disciples, which seemed to be overkill.
Because of the science and engineering thinking in his previous life, Zhao Lin always wanted to understand the principles when encountering strange things.
What material was the giant boat made of?
Where does its power come from?
What is the flight speed...
There is an octagonal cloud platform on the top of the boat. The cloud platform is surrounded by green light. It should be the place where the flying boat is controlled.
There are many places on the front and back of the ship engraved with magic circle-like patterns and densely packed runes.
Zhao Lin deduced that it was these magic circles and runes that enabled the giant boat to fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
Then its power source may be...spiritual stone?
He also noticed something protruding from the bow and side of the hull like a cannon muzzle, and thought that the giant boat might be a warship.
When I walked up to it, I saw that its material had the same texture as wood, but when I touched it, it felt cold and hard, like iron but not iron, like wood but not wood.
Although he had many questions, Zhao Lin also knew that this was not something he could know yet, so he kept it in his mind silently.
The giant boat was about ten feet high. When Zhao Lin boarded the deck, the teenagers had disappeared. Only two young monks in blue robes looked over with smiles.
"Junior brother, please go to the cabin and rest!"
Zhao Lin glanced at a hatch on the deck, but was not in a hurry to go in. He cupped his hands and said, "Two senior brothers, does this ship have a name?"
He didn't directly ask what kind of ship it was, but wanted to find out something about it by making insinuations.
The two monks looked at each other, and the man on the left smiled and said: "This ship does have a name, it's called the Hanchi Ship."
"Hanchi Ship?"
Zhao Lin muttered softly, thinking that his guess was correct. The name contained the word "ship", and it was probably a large military ship. But he didn't know what the word "Hanchi" meant.
Seeing the confusion on his face, the monk just smiled and took the initiative to explain: "You might as well tell your junior brother that our Chenghua Sect connects nine small worlds, and the name of this small world is Hanchijie."
"This is where the name of this battleship comes from."
It is indeed a battleship...
Zhao Lin's heart moved and he wanted to ask again. Another monk reminded: "Junior brother, please enter the cabin as soon as possible. We will set off soon."
Zhao Lin looked back and saw that Uncle Wu had already said goodbye to the three stationed monks and walked over to this side. He thanked them, walked to the side of the deck, and went down the ladder.
Entering the cabin, he was in a trance, as if he had entered the cockpit of an airplane in his previous life.
The cabin is quite spacious, about the same size as a martial arts ring, with dozens of chairs with armrests embedded on the floor.
The chair is attached to the hull and looks very solid.
There is a ring pattern underneath each chair. I don't know what it is used for.
At this time, the cabin was very lively. Some of the teenagers were sitting together and talking loudly, and some were walking around with excited expressions.
Zhao Lin glanced casually and found a seat by the window to sit down.
The window is only the size of a tofu block and is made of glass-like material. When lightly tapped, it makes a subtle metallic clang sound.
It was late at night outside and pitch black, but it seemed like daylight inside the cabin.
Zhao Lin looked up and saw several fist-sized "stones" embedded on the roof of the cabin, emitting a soft and bright light.
"Everything here seems ordinary, but it is very unusual. Taoism has completely replaced technology. It's really interesting!"
At this time, Uncle Wu's bell-like voice came in.
"Everyone, the flying boat is about to start. Please return to your seats and sit tight."
"There is a fierce wind outside. Do not leave the warehouse. Otherwise, the foundation of the road will be damaged and the road will be ruined. Or, in the worst case, you will die in an instant!"
The teenagers were still chatting and laughing, but when they heard this, they immediately looked for their seats and sat still.
Uncle Wu continued: "When crossing the boundary wall in a while, the flying boat will shake violently, but don't worry, there is a protective circle under the chair to reduce the shaking."
"But just to be on the safe side, it's best to hold onto the handrails when the time comes."
It turns out to be a protective array...
Zhao Lin glanced down and felt relieved.
The two green-robed monks just now also walked in, closed the cabin door, and sat down at the front.
It seems that Uncle Wu should be the captain of this ship, and these two are... flight attendants?
I don’t know if there are positions like first mate or second mate.
Zhao Lin put his ear against the wall of the ship and could not hear anyone speaking, only the low vibration of the ship.
The vibrations became louder and louder, followed by a roar, and the flying boat started to move.
Within a moment, a strong feeling of overweight came over my body.
The teenagers all exclaimed.
Zhao Lin had been on an airplane before, so he didn't feel panic. Looking out through the window, he saw a huge boat rising from the ground, quickly reaching the sky above the island, and flying into the black hole in the clouds.
"Finally leaving!"
Zhao Lin had mixed feelings in his heart, wondering if going from this world to the Xuanyuan Continent would be considered a kind of "ascension"?
While he was thinking about it, the flying boat entered the black hole and began to bump violently.
At the same time, the formation diagram under the chair suddenly lit up, and an invisible rope "tied" everyone to the chair.
But even so, the teenagers still clung to the handrails, their faces blue and white, for fear of being thrown away.
Zhao Lin has martial arts skills and is not as nervous as the teenagers. He silently stares at the scene outside the window.
The flying boat traveled through the air very fast. Zhao Lin could not estimate the specific flying speed because everything passed by in a flash.
Afterimages intertwined with each other, turning into colorful and bizarre patterns.
The turbulence only lasted a very short time, and the flying boat quickly stabilized, and the teenagers finally let out a long breath.
After about a while, the flying boat slowed down and began to land slowly.
Looking down at the land, you can see the vast expanse of mountains and ridges, with rivers surrounding them like jade belts. Occasionally, you can see unknown beasts running on the ground.
"This is Xuanyuan Continent!"
Zhao Lin sighed and suddenly raised his eyebrows, why is it daytime?
He clearly remembered that it was still night in the original world, and less than two quarters of an hour had passed. Why was it that it was already dawn here?
And judging from the lush trees on the ground, it seems that it is midsummer and the seasons are different.
At this time, a young man asked: "Senior brother, are we almost here?"
The green-robed monk sitting on the left smiled and said: "It will still take some time, but we will get off the boat soon and change to a flying boat."
"Change to a flying boat?"
Young men, you look at me and I look at you, all confused.
Zhao Lin was also curious, could it be that the flying boat was out of "gas"?
At this time, the flying boat suddenly paused, and then stopped.
"Everyone can go out."
The two green-robed monks stood up, walked to the door, and opened the hatch.
Everyone followed him out and looked around curiously.
Zhao Lin walked onto the deck, looked around, and suddenly took a deep breath.
It’s the smell of spiritual energy!
