Vol 2 Chapter 1 Accidents aboard an Airship
“Our airship is about to take off, all passengers, please sit tight and remember your seat belts!” A crisp female voice came from the PA.
Xia Yu didn’t dare to be sloppy, checked the emergency safety instructions again, and closed his eyes slightly.
hum!
A roar sounded, and then he felt that the entire airship began to climb rapidly, the huge driving force pressed his body tightly against the back of the seat, and the feeling of congestion in his head hit, a bit strange, but also felt fresh and exciting. A little bit of fear.
It is said that this airship is also a huge four-star mechanism. It should use a four-star source crystal as an energy source. For some reason, there is always a huge noise.
But it was this voice that reminded him that he was leaving Luo Tong.
The previous ride manual reminded that the sailing altitude of this airship should exceed 8,000 meters, the normal navigation speed is nearly 800 kilometers per hour, and it can cross a city in almost an hour.
However, it still takes nearly 2 days to reach the final destination of his voyage, Bailu City in Nantuo Prefecture, from Chongyanzhou in the north.
Finally, nearly ten thousand meters away from the ground, the airship stopped climbing, the roar gradually disappeared, and Xia Yu finally relaxed.
“Huh, it’s so exciting!” Suddenly, a voice on his right called out.
“Shh, keep your voice down!” Xia Yu rolled his eyes at the excited Moruo, pointed to the other passengers around him who mostly closed their eyes and said in a low voice.
In the end, he once again owed Song Qingyun a big favor. He naturally didn’t mind adding a little more. Song Qingyun didn’t ask who he was taking, and sent someone to **** them to the designated place to gather.
Without much ado, the two of them boarded the airship that was said to have not passed Luo Tong once in nearly ten years.
“understand!”
Morrow is indeed too excited, this is the legendary airship!
Just now he inquired about it. From Luotong to Bailu City in Nantuo Prefecture, the light travel fee will be 180,000 eur per person.
Fortunately, Xia Yu is a big money!
After confirming that Morrow would not mess around, Xia Yu relaxed and began to adjust the position of the seat according to the prompts on the screen in the cabin. Only then did he have the extra energy to observe the flight cabin he was in.
It is somewhat similar to the passenger-carrying aircraft made on Earth. The upper layer of the flight cabin is mainly for passengers. It is said that there are three layers of cargo warehouses below. The most important role of this airship is also ultra-long-distance cargo delivery.
Of course, an airship is very valuable, and it also consumes expensive 4-star source crystals, which cannot be afforded by ordinary chambers of commerce or forces.
According to the previous understanding, the price of a 4-star source crystal is roughly 10 million ohms in the market. Of course, this price is generally priced in krona, but it also costs 10,000 kronor, which can basically buy a standard 3-star machine.
And such a voyage, the consumption of 4 star source crystals is calculated in hundreds!
Not to mention, the cost of this kind of airship itself is simply astronomical, and only with the use of various precious materials can it be possible to withstand the turbulent wind in the space at a height of nearly 10,000 meters.
It’s just that, a little different from what he thought, this airship doesn’t have the beautiful decoration inside and out like an earth plane. The exposed metal body on the bulkhead is not covered, and some engaging gears and pipes in the pipeline can be seen. .
Even if you smell it carefully, you can even smell a smell of oil in the air.
Well, this is more of a steampunk flavor, and it’s quite tasty when you get used to it.
Moreover, this behemoth airship is not an aircraft of the earth after all, and after a while, the moving prompt sounded again: “Hello everyone, our airship has stabilized at 8280 meters in the air, and is currently sailing at a constant speed, everyone. Passengers can set their own safety settings and move in designated areas. Remind you again, do not enter the places marked as prohibited by passengers in the boat!”
“Xia Yu, you don’t seem to be very excited!” As soon as Moruo heard that he could unfasten his seat belt, he stood up first, his eyes swept around.
What’s so exciting about this, it’s not that spaceships can pass through wormholes, in the end it’s just large planes.
However, it can also be seen from this point that even if there is source energy and perception, the highest technological level of the organ world should be limited to the interior of the planet.
“Don’t run around, there are troops stationed in this airship!” he reminded.
“It’s more than a garrison!” Before Xia Yu could finish his words, a young man who looked like seventeen or eighteen interjected: “Do you know why the airship has to rise to an altitude of 8,000 meters to fly in this wind?”
“Yeah, why?” Morrow leaned over.
“Because of the restricted area in the air, below this height, it is basically the territory of all kinds of flying beasts. Only when it reaches the high wind area above 8,000 meters, the flying beasts are greatly reduced. However, there are also some special groups that can adapt to the high wind. So not only are there garrisoned troops on any airship, but there are usually at least three 4-star monks sitting there!” The young man said with a look of awe.
“4-star monks! Will they do this bodyguard-style work?” Morrow looked puzzled.
“Bullshit! How is this a bodyguard? The 4-star cultivator also has to travel far, and our ‘Tianyan’ is an airship directly under the Song family, and it is sympathetic to us apprentices who are studying abroad, especially detouring to many cities. Yes! Speaking of this eldest brother, which college are you from?”
“Academy?” Morrow looked at Xia Yu.
“Cough, we handed it over to Orr.”
That’s right, Song Qingyun couldn’t say hello alone for such a trivial matter, Xia Yu did pay out 360,000 ore for the toll.
“Oh, that’s it!” The young man’s face became arrogant, and he seemed to be interested in talking, turned around and left.
Seems to be despised?
Xia Yu touched his head and listened carefully to the conversations of the few people next to him. Only then did he know that in addition to their money to upload, nearly half of this airship was born in Yanzhou and studied in colleges in various big cities. Students, no wonder most of the people around are so young.
Forget it, what are you thinking about!
He inquired about it, because he had to traverse 4 states, and there would be many cities in the middle, and it would take 4 days to finally reach Bailu City.
He didn’t want to waste this time, at least he could read a few more journals left by Master Qu, so he greeted Morrow and let him go to the leisure area at will, and came to the luggage storage room alone.
Compared to the trip from the small mining town to Luotong, this time he had a lot more luggage.
In addition to some organs and instruments that can be handled, he also has some organs and materials to bring.
Of course, there are more precious books and some research drafts and treasured materials left by Master Qu.
All these were collected by him, and after arriving in Nantuo Prefecture, he would go to Pengyue City, which is adjacent to Bailu City. His only relative in the world, and his daughter taught at Luger College, although father and daughter The two were very stiff, but Xia Yu, as a disciple, still wanted to send Master Qu’s relics to her.
Speaking of which, Luger Academy is also one of the top five. Master Qu’s daughter can teach there, and she thinks that the level of mechanical skills should be quite good. I don’t know why the father and daughter have not communicated for many years.
The luggage storage area is in a corner of this floor, and there are many people coming and going through the long and narrow passage.
Xia Yu walked through the crowd to the storage cabinet that he had rented for a lot of extra money. After thinking about it, he took out a few copies of “Public Organs” and a manuscript of Master Qu.
While waiting for him to turn back to his seating area, his feet suddenly trembled, and the entire airship trembled violently!
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
The rapid alarm sound suddenly rang through the entire flight cabin, and then the entire cabin suddenly tilted sharply.
Xia Yu held the journal in his hand, and in a hurry, he didn’t grab the nearest handrail, and an unstable foot suddenly slid outward along the sloping ground.
He was shocked in his heart, he mustered all his strength to rush to the side and wanted to stop first, but he didn’t want to be installed in a movable hatch, and suddenly the whole person fell into an empty warehouse, and there was nothing to do in midair.
“boom!”
His body fell heavily on the ground, UU reading www. uukanshu.com but still rolling to the other side.
Finally, insisting on practicing strange physical skills greatly improved his body flexibility and resistance to hitting. This time, he turned over by leaning force, and finally grabbed a metal railing and stopped on the ground that sloped almost more than 60 degrees. .
“Huh, what’s the matter!”
Surprised in his heart, he struggled to sit up, ready to look around.
“Ah, save me…!”
Suddenly, a young, crisp voice came from the air, and when he looked up, it turned out that a little girl had also fallen from the hatch where he had fallen.
Danger!
This floor is alloy steel!
Seeing that the little girl was struggling and didn’t know how to adjust her figure at all, he slammed upwards with all his strength and hugged the little girl.
Suddenly, both of them lost their support and slid down the floor that was still accelerating and sloping together!
