Chapter 538: Before and after takeoff, sky survey trip 5K(1/2)
A few hours later, a bright moon hung in the night sky, casting a silvery glow.
A platform next to the Linxing Tower, supported by many pillars, extends above the lake. It appears broad and flat, and steadily supports a six-foot-tall bronze statue resembling a flying goddess.
This is the "Feitian", the most powerful talisman of the Chu army known to the world. It requires nine practitioners of the Sixth Realm to control and activate it. In the entire Chu Dynasty, there are only 16 such talisman in total.
The reason why the number is rare is naturally because there are too many runes engraved inside and there is a lack of some rare adamantine crystals.
Taking into account the battle on the battlefield, even if the "Feitian" is destroyed, many precise array hub components will usually remain. The fine gold that guides vitality and the energy-storing crystals in the wreckage can also be reused, like the craftsmanship of God.
In the workshop and other places, dozens of spare fetuses of the Flying Goddess were made.
Just the outer metal shell does not consume much rare materials, mainly several thousand kilograms of black steel and black copper, plus hundreds of thousands of kilograms of ordinary iron, copper, tin, lead, and hundreds of kilograms of gold and silver.
Dozens of simple rune arrays have certain protective properties and ability to absorb vitality.
At this moment, in the middle of the "launching platform" by the lake, the originally hollow statue of the Flying Goddess has been installed with a series of new magic circles and magic tools, filling many fixed frames and separating multiple functions.
There are different cabins and some hidden portholes are arranged.
The cabin shell and the internal array have completed the final inspection under the careful debugging of the craftsmen. They have successively tested the sealing by deep water pressurization and tested the low-temperature toughness by using extremely cold energy to ensure that it can withstand extreme environments.
Maintain internal stability and security.
Although the black steel plated on the outer layer is enough to withstand high temperatures of more than 3,000 degrees, and the specific heat capacity is very ridiculous, in order to adapt to the ultra-high temperature and huge air resistance environment encountered during the subsequent lift-off and avoid accidents, a streamlined
The black crystal fairing and related heat-insulating coating were also arranged.
The weather is clear and the stars are bright. Dozens of craftsmen are surrounding the cabin, conducting final inspections before "launch". Under the moonlight, the surface of the golden and blue bronze statue glows with a faint cold light, as if it has been given a certain kind of power.
A mysterious force.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the moment of "flying" to come.
Although there was a cordon around the platform and a light protective light curtain was raised, there were still many workshop craftsmen and practitioners who had received the news and crowded on the corridor bridge to watch from a distance.
There was a lot of whispering and discussion.
After all, several masters plan to fly into the starry sky in their homemade "Flying" cabin. This is an unprecedented event!
"Have you heard? This time the 'Flying Sky' is going to fly to the outer starry sky, which is a place where even the strongest practitioners of our Chu Dynasty have never set foot!"
"Yes, I've heard about it too. It's said that the vitality there is astonishingly strong, and there are all kinds of strange stars and extraterrestrial creatures. I don't know if it's true or not." A young practitioner's eyes flashed with excitement.
Said to the companion beside him.
"It must be true! Otherwise, how could those big shots put so much effort into letting the owner of the shop, Ji Tianxue, transform the 'Flying' goddess and sit in it personally? They must want to explore the unknown starry sky
, to open up a new path of cultivation for our great Chu!"
"Exploring the starry sky?" A royal disciple who probably happened to come to the God's Craftsman's Workshop to order weapons heard this and couldn't help but sneered several times: "The so-called extraterrestrial starry sky, except for the endless darkness and cold, is lonely and empty, flying everywhere
What else can there be than the glimmer of sparks?"
"Those fairies in the Moon Palace and gods in the heavens and gods in folklore are nothing more than illusory products of fantasy! As practitioners, I can see clearly that the moon is full of craters and is extremely desolate. There are no fairies or gods at all.
exist."
"As for the stars, according to "The Great View of the World", they are just huge stones floating in the void. Some are burning with flames, and some are as cold as death. They move according to specific trajectories. Where are some strange creatures?
?These are just the conjectures of ignorant people."
Although the words of this royal disciple seemed cold and somewhat arrogant, they also quoted profound knowledge from many classics, and every sentence seemed to make sense.
The expressions of some people around became a little gloomy. Indeed, people are always full of imagination and speculation about the unknown extraterrestrial sky, but there are only a few who truly understand it.
However, at this moment, an old craftsman with white hair and white hair and a purple robe suddenly appeared in front of this person. He slowly shook his head and said seriously:
"Young people, don't be so arbitrary. This world is so big, and there are all kinds of wonders. Even though we have been practicing for many years, what we know and see is still just a drop in the ocean. The starry sky outside the territory is a realm that we have never really set foot on. How much is hidden in it?
Who can tell the secret clearly?"
"Back then, our ancestors in ancient times thought that the sky was round and the sun rising in the east and setting in the west was just the will of the gods. But what about now? We already know that the sky and the earth are spherical, hanging in the sky and clouds.
The moon and stars all move according to laws."
"It is precisely because generations of ancestors continue to explore the unknown and have the courage to challenge that today's world of practitioners and the current Great Chu Dynasty has emerged. The starry sky outside the territory may indeed be full of desolation and danger as you said, but it is also
It may contain miracles, treasures and hopes that we cannot imagine."
"Hope? Huh, don't let hope turn into disappointment then, and lose your life in that endless starry sky!" The royal child curled his lips and whispered to himself, obviously not optimistic about this expedition.
In fact, there are not a few practitioners who hold similar views to this person. At the same time, at the height of a covered bridge opposite, a young craftsman who was watching was holding a telescope and looking at it from a distance.
The movements on the platform couldn't help but express the doubts in my heart:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Speaking of which, this 'Flying' goddess was originally our main military talisman. Although it is called 'Flying', it actually has nothing to do with flying. Now
After being transformed like this, can it really fly smoothly into the starry sky? Will it disintegrate halfway?"
"Don't talk nonsense! No matter what the thoughts of those big shots are, or the reason for their trip, they are undoubtedly the pillars of our court. How can you, a bastard like you, have any arbitrariness?" said an elder on the side.
When the craftsman heard this, he frowned slightly and scolded:
"Besides, although this 'Flying' Goddess was not originally designed for flying, it has been carefully transformed by Master Ji Tianxue and many craftsmen. How can it be judged by common sense? If you don't believe it, just open your eyes and take a good look.
Let’s see if this ‘flying sky’ can successfully lift off and fly to the starry sky outside the territory!”
The young craftsman who was reprimanded shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore, but he was still a little doubtful in his heart. After all, flying to the outer starry sky was really shocking, and it was like something only the legendary immortals could do.
matter.
Time passed little by little, and the night was getting darker, but the noise around the platform did not subside by half. On the contrary, as the news that the "Flying Sky" was about to take off spread, more and more onlookers gathered here, all wanting to witness it with their own eyes.
This historic moment.
Finally, as everyone was looking forward to it, a crisp bell rang, and the "Flying" goddess statue in the center of the platform suddenly heard a low buzzing sound, and then, a powerful wave of vitality emanated from the cabin.
It opened, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
"It's about to begin!" The crowd exclaimed one after another. Everyone was waiting with bated breath, looking through the light curtain that was rippled by the vibrating energy on the outer layer, staring closely at the statue that was about to take off, and the whole body was lit up.
The "flying" goddess with countless blue lines.
…
At this time, inside the statue of the "Flying" Goddess, in the cockpit above the head of the Goddess, three masters, Zhao Xiangfei, Gongshu Zhi, and Zhen Lingzi, were sitting upright in their respective seats, fastened their seat belts, and glanced across the cabin.
The glowing runes on the wall, and the leaded glass portholes that have long since been closed.
With their usual status, they have never been squeezed into such a small space. The energy scattered around them was almost blended together. But at this moment, there was no trace of dissatisfaction or complaint on the faces of the three of them. On the contrary,
Full of seriousness and expectation.
"Two of you, do you have any thoughts of quitting temporarily? If there is an accident, in the extreme environment of the cold starry sky, none of us can guarantee our survival."
After a moment of silence, Gongshu Zhi was the first to speak: "If it's too late to regret now, once this 'Flying Sky' is activated, there will really be no turning back."
"That's because you are not sure, but I am full of confidence." Zhao Xiangfei smiled slightly and touched a few national-protection weapons in her sleeves: "It is only a million feet high, even if it falls, what can you do?
Do you deserve my hard-tempered body?"
"That's right." Zhen Lingzi also nodded and encouraged: "As long as the vitality remains intact and the magic weapon is not damaged, no matter how big the crisis is, the three of us will be able to avert the danger and return safely by relying on the starlight pulling method.
Ground, what is there to worry about?"
"The final countdown is about to begin!"
In the cockpit of the head, Zhao Qing's voice came from a huge powerful Jade Talisman: "Pay attention to the overload and overweight during takeoff, the acceleration of about two hundred G... The instrument panel next to it will display it in real time.
The height of the cabin from the ground..."
"During the process of liftoff, the cabin may have a sharp vibration and resonance, similar to the damage caused by the musical note arrow. You need to be a little more careful about this. Use your true energy to protect your organs and brain... The fixed frame has been officially unlocked. Don't
Nervous... Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, start!"
As Zhao Qing's countdown ended and he gave an order, a bright light suddenly erupted from inside the statue of the "Flying Goddess". The runes engraved on the bulkhead were immediately activated, flashing with a dazzling blue light, and bursts of light emitted from inside.
A neighing sound like the friction of a giant steel ship.
Deep in the Qi sea of the three masters, there was a strong resonance. Wisps of life energy were tightly entwined like spindles with circles of silver starlight and colorful 灮灁, and then burst out and splashed out, transforming into...
The fireworks bloomed, dyeing all the rune lines on the bulkhead with a deeper color.
Countless silver and colorful light spots rushed out from the runes, naturally condensing into intertwined chains, shooting straight up into the extremely high pitch-black sky, forming a bright beam of light with a diameter of hundreds of feet, like starlight rolling upwards.
The waterfall wants to flow into the Milky Way in the sky.
The next moment, the three of them felt a huge force coming from under the seats, as if tens of millions of pounds were pressing on their chests, and the whole world was turned upside down at this moment.
To be continued...
