Chapter 236 The City in the Sky Takes Off!(2/2)
This scene is truly shocking!
The solitary smoke rises straight up in the vast desert, the rising sun is round in the endless sky, and the rough wind and sand are trampled under my feet. There is a heroic feeling that the world is in my hands.
The mass of the Sky City is about 160 million tons, which is many times more exaggerated than the aerospace aircraft carrier in science fiction novels.
It is indeed impossible for pure physical technology to raise such a behemoth.
But Weixin Technology did it!
As the gravity of the rock disappears, the city continues to rise.
The thickness of Pangea's atmosphere is much higher than that of the Earth, and 14,000 meters will not cause hypoxia problems.
According to the information of Greenland Civilization, there is strong spiritual interference above the atmosphere, and the Pandora crystal may fail, causing the anti-gravity system to lose control; if the altitude is too low, it may be attacked by monsters.
Therefore, the general lift-off height is between 20,000 and 30,000 meters, which is a very comfortable range. Even if you are unlucky and encounter natural disasters such as "ghosts and monsters", as long as these guys cannot fly, they may not be able to come up.
"I order to stabilize the altitude to 20,000 meters."
"Start the power system! Head towards the village!"
[Look at how proud you are. Fortunately, you are dressed beautifully and have a sense of ceremony!] As the controller of the poppy tree, Conch takes a break from busy work to send telepathic messages.
"You can't be complacent about such a big baby rising."
"Boom!"
Several giant propellers began to rotate and push the city forward - these things were like wind turbines, the blades alone were hundreds of meters long.
Its maintenance is very complicated, and currently it is only done by a few owners of "craftsmanship".
Lu Yuan was worried that these propellers would fall apart midway.
The giant propeller roared and creaked, and it was moving, giving it a steampunk aesthetic.
"The sandstorm has a speed of 57 kilometers per hour and can produce a small amount of propulsion."
"The current speed of Sky City is 0.09 kilometers per hour, and the direction is 43.8 degrees east-south."
Okay, this speed is indeed very slow.
Even if the gravity is offset, the huge inertia is real and requires a slow acceleration process.
If you want to fly faster, you need some glyphs to reduce the friction of the air, the jet power system, and other miscellaneous things - of course this is a big project, and Lu Yuan doesn't have the time or energy to do it for the time being.
"Desert, how are you doing there? Can the generator handle it?!" Lu Yuan asked on the intercom.
The balance of the Sky City and the operation of the propellers are projects supervised by Lao Mao himself, so they are considered stable.
The power station and power network are personally supervised by the current number one wise man, the "Super Thinker", Desert.
After all, he has only studied for two or three years. No matter how smart he is, everyone is still worried about his ability...
Yes, even Shamo himself is worried, afraid that he will not be able to complete the task!
But there is no way.
Now there is no talent at all. There is only one smart old cat and only one conch. He cannot wear multiple hats. He can only rush to the shelves!
"I'm checking the machine's parameters!"
He clenched his hands into fists, and his entire palms were turning blue and purple. Looking back on the past day, he felt sad.
He led others to repair the generator, because the original instrument was seriously damaged and had to be dismantled and repaired, and then he found a way to put it back together!
It's like going back to the drawing board and rebuilding it all over again.
He also calculated the power himself.
He believed in himself and his colleagues, but until now... he was still nervous!
Now, Desert can finally say calmly: "Report, the generator set is operating normally!"
"The power grid output is stable!"
"Guo Weiqiang, is there anything abnormal in the load-bearing structure?"
Comrade Guo Weiqiang, who is in charge of the sculpture team, also bears a lot of pressure.
With the offset of gravity, the city's load-bearing structure is no longer the same as before, and some pressure turns into tension. In this case, the city may indeed fall apart.
As a rare person who can understand the "Strong Glyph", he also has a heavy responsibility and is thinking of ways to strengthen the city every day.
"The current main structure, no problem!"
Lu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
But he knew that the matter was not over yet. When the city was flying, he had to find a way to land. If he couldn't land safely, it would always be unsuccessful.
He calmly gave orders: "I order each team to inspect the city's conditions and check whether there are any structural breaks."
"The Sky City officially flew for two days, and two days later, it officially landed."
Instructions were sent out in an orderly manner and passed to various working groups.
…
…
Two days passed quickly.
After the initial trial flight, the city slowly descended from an altitude of 20,000 meters.
With a soft "boom" sound, the Sky City landed around the village, once again stirring up overwhelming dust.
In fact, after the anti-gravity system is turned on, it has to be "half-open" all the time.
Because there is very little land that can carry 160 million tons of mass at once.
In such a large city, if the pressure is placed directly on the ground, landslides and earthquakes are likely to occur.
Therefore, reducing urban gravity and allowing the ground to carry it is a very complex but important link.
The larger the city, the more difficult it is to regulate energy demand.
Fortunately, mankind has the legacy of green civilization, and the control of gravity has always been done by the green paradise.
However, in the long term, if you want to build a larger new city, you must understand the specific principles and add new energy sources.
