Chapter 107 Celatis Aircraft
"Then chase it!" St. Marfiana almost jumped up and rushed out.
When Jibeyar and the others saw that Saint Marfiana rushed out, they had no choice but to follow him. In fact, they had no hope of chasing me. The facts proved that their idea was very correct. When Jibeyar and the other three chased Saint Marfiana, they were completely stunned. The empty city was gone, and the huge city was as quiet as a tomb.
After Jibeyal got up to the ground, she saw Santa Marfiana standing there, and there was a pile of things beside her. There was a piece of paper that was pinched into a ball at the feet of Santa Marfiana. Jibeyal walked over and picked up the ball of paper and opened it. The content on the paper was written in French by the Phantom, and they could not read it. This was a message, and the content was probably to tell them that I had something urgent to do, so I left first, and the pile of items on the ground was left for them.
They didn't know any of these things, nor did they know what they were used for, but I knew the purpose of these things very clearly. With the Silatis people by my side, I could easily know the specific purpose of these things. There were 11 items left in total, which happened to be a little more limit for the five of them to carry. According to the Silatis people's explanation, these things belong to cleaning kits, simple to put, are vacuum cleaners, wall cleaning machines and some auxiliary cleaning equipment. Of course, it is impossible for me to leave them good things, but if I don't leave things, it will fall down the handle, so leaving some soap and laundry detergent for them is considered a consolation prize.
I could see the angry expression of Santa Marfiana clearly because I had not left the city at all. Ye Zi and I must have left very quickly, and no one could catch up with us when we left with a spear. But there were hundreds of Serathis people around us. I did not have such a huge transportation capacity to carry so many people to evacuate quickly. Each Tyrannosaurus Knight could indeed carry one person, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t run fast like this. If I run away, the speed is not fast enough. In the end, we decided to use the safest method - to hide on the spot.
When Jibeyal and the others came out and saw that there was no one around, their first reaction was that we ran away, but what they didn't know was that we were hiding in the hidden place in the city and watching them. The beetles hiding near the cave entrance directly passed the information they heard back to me. I could clearly know what they were saying, and could see what they were doing from various angles, but they didn't know that I could see them.
St. Marfiana was very angry and started arguing with Jibeyaer. I was gone. Santa Marfiana couldn't even find a partner when she got angry, so she could only quarrel with Jibeyaer. After Adepana and the two men persuaded him, the quarrel ended soon. Jibeyaer took them around the city and went around for a simple turn and finally left the city helplessly. I sent a small group of beetles to follow them. The purpose of doing this was to prevent them from suddenly returning to catch us.
The son of Ye reacted very quickly. When he saw them leaving, he quickly called us to flee. I immediately ordered everyone to leave the hidden place and move outside the city. The space gate of Mother Earth Goddess was closed, but Sgoth and the Tyrannosaurus Knights were both kept. Mother Earth did not allow the Selatis people to enter the space gate, and the fighting ability of the Selatis tribe was really unacceptable. There was no way to let the Tyrannosaurus Knights stay as members of the protective team as a cover staff.
After leaving the city of Selatis, we quickly moved northwest, and we should be able to quickly reach the beach in this direction. If nothing unexpected happens, the fast transport ship from Aisinger should be able to arrive soon. Another reason for choosing this direction is that the direction Jibeyal and the others are heading in the east. In order not to meet them, I had to choose to go from this direction.
During the evacuation process, the head of the Selatis tribe suddenly stopped. "By the way, President Zi Ri. (After joining the gang, they are also my people, so they call me the president.) I suddenly remembered that we have transportation ourselves."
"What's it?"
"Wait, I'll take you to see."
The head of Selatis was taken to a place next to the city wall, which was said to be the parking lot of their vehicles, similar to our parking lot. When the door opened, I saw a large area of neatly arranged strange equipment. These things had all kinds of messy appearances, and some of them seemed to be inconsistent with transportation.
"Is this your means of transportation?"
The head of Selatis nodded: "In the past, we Selatis people used this thing to move back and forth between our three cities. Our tribe did not have the teleportation array technology like you, so we only studied this kind of equipment for travel. After the Temple of Light attacked us, we also used this thing to concentrate the remaining compatriots in the three cities here. Among the nearly 800 members you see now, except for more than 60 members born later, the rest were concentrated from the three cities. Although our tribe has low reproductive ability, its lifespan is relatively long. If it weren't for these things, it would be difficult for the scattered compatriots to gather together."
I walked to the nearest door with many crystals inlaid, which looked a bit like a motorcycle installation without wheels. "This thing has no wheels and no wings. Could it be that it is going through the ground?"
"It can fly." Selatis shouted directly. "We are not a ground python, how could we go through the ground?"
I was so surprised that I couldn't even close my mouth when I was told by the words of the Head of Selatis. "You mean, is this an aircraft?"
Elder Selatis nodded to confirm. I looked at the machines here again in surprise. Although these things are strange in shape, they are not large in size. Will such a small thing be an aircraft? The miniaturized gravity resistance device in our guild is still as big as a small car. It is still the size of the energy device without considering the energy device. If the magic energy converter is equipped, the total volume will be as large as the small truck. The aircraft that Woma showed us last time is not strange in shape, but it is still very large in size. The fundamental reason is that the gravity resistance device itself is too large. The reaction of Ye Zhizi and I was similar. He was also surprised when he saw these strange equipment.
I walked up in the aisle between these aircraft, and the aircraft parked on both sides were all kinds of strange and strange. The smallest machine was like a bicycle faucet and a pair of tripods installed on a saddle. Can such a small thing fly?
"Are you really sure this is a manned aircraft?" I still don't believe that these devices will be so small.
The Head of Selatis replied with some amusing words: "I'm not going to make this wrong."
"Can all these fly?"
"This is not necessarily the case." Head of Selatis said: "It was a long time ago that we used these things last time. After the war, not many people could drive this thing. Moreover, our remaining technicians were mainly focused on accelerating the restoration of defense facilities. So these secondary equipment were idle and no one cared about it for the time being. Except for a few that we often use, other places have not been moved for a long time. I don't know if they can still operate. In addition, these things consume a lot of energy, and they can't be used casually."
"Can you try it? I want to take away all the moving ones."
"This is no problem." Head of Selatis said: "Look for your person to help, just turn the switch. There should be no problem if you can start, and there is probably something wrong if you can't start."
I quickly found the Tyrannosaurus Knight for testing. The Head of Selatis told us to find a switch that looked like a comma. I searched on the machine beside me. The positions of the items on each machine were different, and I was installed in a very conspicuous position. Following Selatis' prompt, I grabbed the thing and turned it gently at 45 degrees. The comma just slid into a groove of the same shape.
After seeing that we were all done, Head of State Selatis continued, “Press that switch hard.”
I pressed my finger on the switch that entered the groove and pressed it down hard, but it didn't respond. The Tyrannosaurus Knights around me behaved differently, but most of them didn't press it like me. Some pressed it but didn't respond, but some worked. Ye Zhizi stood beside me, and the switch on the machine beeped by the boy when he pressed it, and all the crystals inlaid on the surface of the machine lit up a light blue light. The whole machine suddenly shook and then floated up from the ground and kept it suspended there ten centimeters from the ground.
Night Zi was so excited that he laughed without any image: "Fuck this thing can really fly."
I was so depressed that I spent a long time on the machine beside me but couldn't press it. "I seem to be rusted!"
The son of Ye waved to me: "Come here to see me. This can move. Hehe, this thing is really powerful."
I walked helplessly to the machine beside Ye Zhizi. The crystals around the thing were lit up and floating in the air, swaying slightly up and down, like a ship floating on the sea. "Why is this thing shaking so much?" I turned around and shouted at the head of Selatis.
Celatis ran over and explained to me: "When the machine is running, it will be a little vibrating."
"Damn, why is it like a motorcycle? It's so shaking." Although the equipment in front of us floated up, it was different from our gravity resistance device. The equipment was very noisy and vibrated very much. It felt like a used motorcycle with a broken exhaust pipe.
The son of Ye suddenly said to me, "Go up and try it?"
I jumped up without hesitation. This thing was designed for the Selatis tribe. The thing I stepped on was too long and I couldn't reach it at all. I could barely use it. As soon as I jumped up, the thing sank immediately, but it did not land, and it was still five or six centimeters away from the ground. Ye Zhizi flashed and came up. With the weight of his personal weight, the thing went down a little, but it still maintained a height of four or five centimeters away from the ground.
The Head of Selatis explained to us: "The maximum load-bearing of this equipment is 200 Kalals."
"Ah? How much did you say?"
"Two hundred kalals. If you convert it into your unit, it is about six hundred kilograms."
"If the machine is built larger, can the load-bearing be larger?" I hope that the aircraft can only carry 600 kilograms of weight, but it's a big deal?
Chief Selatis actually shook his head. "You also saw that the largest of all aircraft here is no more than 5 meters long. It is not because of other reasons, but because there is a critical point in the power equipment. On this basis, no matter how you transform it, you don't want to make the take-off weight exceed 800 kilograms. Remove the aircraft's own weight. It is certain that the remaining thrust is insufficient."
"Can't thrust be increased by equipping multiple power units?" Ye Zhizi asked immediately.
The head of Selatisi still shook his head. "The result of multiple thrusters is that energy sources interfere with each other, and ultimately causes a drop in thrust. After our experiments, we thought of a way to block some of the power interference. However, it is not complete. The final result is that energy consumption is rising sharply, completely exceeding the economic value. Anyway, it is not a problem to sit on one or two people and carry something with this kind of small aircraft, and we don't expect to build too much."
It seems that large aircraft are no longer expected. This kind of thruster is only suitable for building small aircraft, and it should be OK to switch to interceptors and reconnaissances.
The Tyrannosaurus Knights in the warehouse tried many times. In the end, they only found about 300 movable aircraft. It just so happened that the Selatisi tribe needed these things to transfer, but unfortunately there were too few people who could drive. There were only 30 of them who knew how to use this thing in nearly 800 Selatisi people, and the popularity rate was really low.
I put the extra aircraft into the Phoenix Dragon Space. Those who could drive started the aircraft and brought a companion to move together. The rest had to let the Tyrannosaurus Knight lead them.
Along the way, we also had a general understanding of the performance of this thing. Overall, we felt that there were many defects in this thing. The first defect was that it could not fly high. This kind of aircraft could only fly at a low altitude no more than 300 meters above the ground, which means that it could not even fly over the Aisinger's wall. The second defect was a problem we had discovered long ago. This thing took too much energy, and after walking less than 100 kilometers, the machines went on strike. Fortunately, it used not magic crystals but a purple liquid. The head of Selatisi said that this liquid was a kind of mine. It could be dug in many places, but the son of Ye actually knew it, but I didn't know that there was this thing in the game.
The most headache-inducing flaw is the complex operation. When this thing is flying, the head of the aircraft must be kept tilted downward, otherwise it will roll backward and cause the vehicle to fall. Ye Zhizi and I personally experimented several times, but they fell again and again. The aircraft floating in the sky has no support. The center of gravity is unstable when sitting on it, so it is very easy to turn over. I feel that driving this thing is like riding a bicycle and you need to find balance. You must have a certain amount of learning before you can control it stably.
Ye Zhizi and I studied with Chief Selatis for a long time along the way. Chief Selatis explained that this thing had major flaws in its original design. Although it was improved several times later, the problem was not completely solved. Since the three cities of the Celtis tribe are not far away, the demand for transportation is not very large, so this has not been taken as the focus of research, resulting in the machine's performance being unsatisfactory.
It soon became dark and Ye Zhizi needed to go offline to rest, but in order not to waste time, I did not let the team stay, but let Ye Zhizi forcefully go offline and leave his body in the game. Although others have gone out, the body is still there. We take his body away. When he goes online, he will still be with us and will not fall behind.
I kept rushing all night, and my troops were all undead creatures, so they were not affected by the darkness at night, so the speed was super fast. We had already arrived near the coastline the next morning local time.
As soon as my team walked out of the forest, I saw several spears hovering in the air. This situation surprised me. Only ours can have spears, so how could they come here?
"President!" After several spears discovered me, they immediately dived down, and the person on the back of the spear was actually the one from our guild. The young blonde member landed beside us and ran over. "President, I finally saw you. My name is Aka. A member of the American branch."
Because our guild is crowded and has a wide area, we generally divide each branch according to the region. This beauty is obviously a member of the United States, so she claims to be a member of the American branch.
"Why are you here so fast?" I asked her in surprise. I remember that it was only less than a day before the fleet was notified. No matter how fast the fleet was, it would be impossible for me to arrive first.
Aka explained: "When you informed the meeting, our warship was delivering goods here, and just planned to return. After receiving your notification, we turned around and came here. We arrived last night local time. The captain was afraid that you would not see the warship here, so he asked me to take people out along the coast to find you."
"Delivery?" I was a little strange. "Don't the goods from Asia to America are all transmitted through the cross-border teleportation array of Qidian City? How did the warships be sent? Who decides the land?"
"I don't know this. You can ask the captain later. Let's get on the ship first."
"Oh well."
The fleets were docked in the distant sea, and this place was not a port. The water was too shallow, so our warships could not be relied on to transport people to large warships. I handed over the work of striking the ship to other players in the guild, and I got on the warship first and found the fleet commander.
"Zhenhong? Why are you?" I didn't expect that Zhonghong was the fleet, which was actually commanded by Zhonghong.
After seeing me, Zhenhong ran over happily. "I finally picked you up. I don't want to wait here stupidly."
"It's so popular, why did you become a fleet commander?"
Zhenhong said: "I'm just a guest appearance. This time, I happened to be in short supply of staff. I came here to take it over temporarily."
"How did the warships come to America? Didn't I say that our warships should minimize the activities in America?" Our guild's only city in the United States is an inland city, which means we have no port in the United States. The Asian naval war has consumed most of the power of our guild, so I don't want to enter the naval war battlefield in America too early. The warships of our guild cannot afford to deal with the intensity of two wars at the same time.
Zhenhong handed me a drink and said, "After this upgrade, the consumption of the transmission array has increased sharply. The cost of transport personnel is already a little tight, so it is even more unsubstantiable to transport goods. Hongyue said that using ships to transport goods can save a lot of money."
"Is the teleportation array price so powerful?" After this upgrade, I have been in the forest. I don't know what the teleportation array has changed to.
Zhenhong said: "The teleportation error situation of the teleportation array that occurred during the last upgrade was cancelled, which means that the teleportation array will no longer send the wrong target, but the energy consumed by the teleportation array has been greatly increased, and there is a new calculation formula for the energy consumption value."
"New formula?"
"The current transmission energy consumption is to multiply the mass of the transmission object by the target transmission array distance, and then multiply it with a very complex proportional formula known to the system, and finally add the starting energy consumption of a single transmission. According to the current experience summarized by some players, it seems that the larger the transmission array, the lower the average energy consumption of the objects of the same mass. Also, some people have found that the larger the transmission array, the greater the starting energy consumption. This is a bit similar to the principle of buses and private cars. Buses consume a lot of fuel, but they can be installed, and the average fuel consumption of transporting a person is smaller."
I nodded and continued, "Because the energy consumption increases, guilds with teleportation arrays have to maintain high income by increasing the usage fee of teleportation arrays and use the money to buy magic crystals. At present, guilds in various countries in the world price themselves according to the pricing of system cities, so the price is relatively stable and it is relatively expensive. Now, except for particularly rich people or people with urgent matters, ordinary people don't easily use teleportation arrays. In addition, the price of teleportation arrays has increased, and the teleportation scrolls have also increased. Now no one dares to throw them around in the scrolls back to the city. Many large-scale leveling points have appeared shuttle buses that specifically bring people back to the city to buy medicine, and some people even set up stalls in the leveling area to sell things."
"Good guy, isn't that exaggerating?"
"There are even more exaggerated things. It is said that road transportation has also flourished after the price of the teleportation array. Yesterday, the latest statistics from the forum said that the number of road bandits in the game suddenly increased by 10 times. The roads have become battlefields for mercenaries and bandits, and there are basically melee zones everywhere."
Chapter completed!
