Chapter 236 The City in the Sky Takes Off!(1/2)
Chapter 236 City in the Sky—Take off!
Two tense months passed quietly.
The day when the Sky City is about to rise has finally arrived!
It was an ordinary day full of sandstorms.
It was dawn, and everyone was awakened by the emergency bell.
The hot wind and sand blew on my face, but it couldn't extinguish my passionate heart.
The power system of the Sky City is actually quite ordinary. The power provided by humans is seriously insufficient, causing the city's flight speed to be extremely slow.
The wind push of the sandstorm is actually a good supplement.
Before four o'clock, Lu Yuan got up early. He was in a good mood. He wore an exquisite dress left by the green civilization, which was a bit like a tuxedo. The exquisite leaf pattern brought a sense of splendor.
Miss Conch was also dressed beautifully, wearing a lace round-neck sweater and a floral skirt, which outlined her slender waist and bulging chest.
There is also a pink poppy flower on her head, which looks playful and cute.
"Why don't you show up in public? Why are you dressed up so beautifully?" Lu Yuan glanced at her several times. The pretty girl was indeed pleasing to the eye.
"This scene should be recorded in the green paradise to educate future generations!" The conch jumped, holding a small flower and wearing it on Lu Yuan's chest, smiling and saying, "General, I hope the city will not fall!"
Lu Yuan immediately stretched out his hands, twisted her hair into a ball, and ran away happily amidst the girl's anger.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Various work groups have already had breakfast in the cafeteria.
Today, the cafeteria lady's hands are no longer shaking, and the portions of food are very generous.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and there was a warm sense of anticipation in the air.
At half past five in the morning, the large army also gathered. The elderly and children were all dressed in their best clothes.
Lu Yuanda said loudly: "Friends, today is the day to test the fruits of labor. Let us look forward to the harvest after our hard work."
"The City in the Sky officially takes off today!"
Waves of cheers spread throughout the city.
The winding vines of the poppy tree spread to every corner of the city, blooming green leaves one after another, emitting a faint green light.
The entire Sky City's heritage has been piled into the inner ring.
Whether they are useful or useless, every warehouse is filled with them.
There are even some large objects that cannot be stacked at all and can only be left in the open air.
"Oil reserves, totaling 1.68 million cubic meters."
"The electric unit is operating normally!"
"The metal warehouse stores a total of 21.82 million tons of metal."
Lu Yuan counted the assets and found that they were really full and could not be filled at all.
The time has come to test the final results. Everyone has been working hard for this day for a year and six months, but whether it will succeed or not is still unknown...
"I order all civilians except the working group to leave the Sky City! Temporarily evacuate to surrounding villages."
"Led by Sha Kan'er, don't leave any people behind on the way!"
"Understood!" Shakaner saluted and mounted the giant insect "Drawer".
There were more than a thousand villagers sitting on the back of each "Drawer", marching in the direction of the village.
This is of course for safety.
If the Sky City fails to rise and falls in mid-air, they still have a chance to survive.
"The three of you will keep an eye on me to avoid accidents."
"I have the ability to protect myself."
The three king insects bowed slightly: "Yes!"
Flap your wings and leave.
The "Drawer" moved very quickly in the desert, covering more than 30 kilometers in less than half an hour.
The dark crowd stood on the insect's back, looking eagerly toward the horizon.
People are anxious but full of expectations.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's voice came from the remote intercom: "I order...the City in the Sky and the City of Green to officially take off!!"
"Countdown, ten seconds..."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
As the countdown ends, this city that has been sinking for four thousand years has completely recovered at this moment!
"Boom"!
The sky collapsed and the earth trembled.
Huge amounts of dust flew up one after another, forming a huge air wave that pushed in all directions like a tsunami.
People heard the intermittent conversations of various work groups on the intercom.
"Report! The power grid is stable...the generator set is normal!"
"The poppy tree is fairly stable and the energy circuit system is normal."
"The Pandora crystal anti-gravity system is officially activated, and the gravity of the rock is being offset... There is a small amount of abnormal suspension phenomena, and the speed of rise is somewhat abnormal."
People's hearts were clenched. They didn't understand what "abnormal suspension" meant. It was just a heart clenching tightly.
…
Lu Yuan and others in the center of the city were also breaking out in cold sweats, probably because the energy output was a bit high, and the city was rising too fast. They flew up like birds, and many people fell directly to the ground!
The construction of Sky City is a systematic and large-scale project.
After offsetting the gravity of the rock, the city will be lifted up by atmospheric pressure and suspended like a balloon. (The non-rock part cannot offset it.)
At this time, it is required to retain a little gravity so that the urban gravity and atmospheric buoyancy remain relatively stable.
"There are some errors in the original city tonnage calculation, which is reducing the energy output of the anti-gravity system."
"The abnormal levitation phenomenon is disappearing. The current height is 250 meters...260 meters...270 meters."
"The city currently remains stable."
I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, but the crowd of people watching was silent, but their eyes widened.
They watched as the cloud of dust grew larger and larger, spreading in all directions like a mushroom cloud from a nuclear bomb explosion.
"I saw the City in the Sky! Haha!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed young man shouted, "It's really flying!"
"Can we escape the desert?"
More and more people are seeing that city.
"Blessed by our ancestors, stones can really fly." Shakaner murmured to himself. He put a hand on his eyebrows and saw a cube-like thing slowly rising from the mushroom cloud, flying higher and higher.
The rest of the people also held their breaths without blinking, cheering and lively discussions mixed together.
At this moment, beyond the horizon, the red sun is rising in the east.
This is a sunrise that shocks the past and present!!
Along with the slowly rising red sun, the City in the Sky also rose together, bathing in the vast sunlight.
There has never been such a gentle light in the world. Even the sun today seems to be drunk and not so fierce, dyeing the entire sky a drunken red.
More and more people see the rising city in the sky, and suddenly tears of happiness flow from their eyes!
They did it, they... were able to leave this desert.
The people soon became a sea of joy and celebrated loudly.
Some people's joy is because they escaped and ascended to heaven. In fact, they did not participate too much, they were just shocked... It is really amazing that a stone city can actually rise.
There are also some people who are moved by their own efforts, when they think of the days and nights of study, struggle, and practice, and that everything was achieved from scratch through labor.
They really paid a lot for this operation.
They suddenly felt that just for this minute of touching, everything, all the blood and sweat were worth it!
This kind of touch, this kind of joy, is not because living conditions have been improved, nor is it because the threat of death has been escaped, but because a kind of ideal has been realized.
They are not only happy, but also deeply proud.
…
…
"The current altitude is 14,000 meters...the city has good stability and low turbulence."
At this moment, Lu Yuan stood at the highest point of the poppy tree, looking down at the vast desert, feeling suddenly heroic.
To be continued...
