Chapter 507 508. Set sail 2
When the magic airship entered the Partington plane through the portal, the huge hull floated in the air and slowly passed through the mirror-like door. A strong sense of oppression filled the area around the central square. The mixed-blood elves held their breath at the same time, and everyone stared intently at the behemoth in front of them, as if it appeared out of thin air.
The next moment, tsunami-like cheers came from around the central square.
Then the magic airship emerged completely from the portal and hung in the air thirty meters above the ground in the central square.
The entire airship even had a strong smell of seawater, and there were clear traces of corrosion left by seawater on the outside of the hull.
Roy stood on the bronze argali horn on the bow of the ship. A group of portal guards saluted after seeing Roy. Some of the mixed-blood elves around the central square seemed to recognize Roy standing on the bow of the ship.
I don’t know who yelled ‘Boss Roy’ first, and then the voice kept getting louder.
When all the mixed-blood elves around the square called out this name, the sound surprised the old dwarf Mags standing on the driving console.
He did not expect that such a young half-elf could have such a high voice in the main elf city of a plane.
The four dwarf apprentices are currently leading the mixed elf warriors to control the angle of the sails to keep the magic airship suspended in place.
The magic airship rose from the central square to a height of two hundred meters and stopped.
In the Partington plane, there is only a vast forest around Padstow. The sea of trees formed by this forest seems to have no edge at a glance.
Padstow City is the center of the entire forest. The big trees here are densely lined with treehouses. The woods on the entire hillside are like this, and they look very large.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I emerged from the portal, I entered an elf city, and it was also a gathering place for mixed-blood elves.
The old dwarf Mags, who was standing in front of the steering wheel, even had some ideas at this time. If he could open a hotel in this city full of tree houses, it would be best if there was a small wine shop below the hotel. , that would be wonderful.
As I get older, sleeping in a tree hole should be more comfortable than sleeping in a cellar...
…
The magic airship stayed over the central square for two quarters of an hour before flying towards the airport terminal being built outside Padstow City.
This magic airship will not stop at Padstow. This time it flies to the unfinished airport terminal. It also needs to use the real data of the hull to come to the airport for comparison, lest the built airport cannot accommodate this magic airship.
Padstow City's airport terminal is located on the edge of the city.
The airport terminal was transformed from a giant oak tree, but it is not yet completed. The platform and internal stairs for docking the magic airship are still being renovated.
With the assistance of the propulsion device, the magic airship took more than an hour to cross half of Padstow City.
This giant oak tree, which is more than 100 meters high, is absolutely outstanding in this forest. The entire crown of the tree is almost completely separated from the sea of trees, like a huge green umbrella sticking out of a piece of green grass.
When the magic airship approached, a group of mixed-blood elf craftsmen were repairing a horizontal branch.
They hoisted the pruned branches to the ground with ropes, covered this horizontal branch, which can almost be called a bridge, with a thick oak board, and added fence handrails on both sides of the oak board.
This oak board passage is paved to the end of the horizontal branches, and there is a very neat cut section at the end of the horizontal branches.
This is the docking point for the magic airship...
"Ah, is this the airport terminal that is about to be completed?" The mixed-blood elf warrior on the boat looked at the giant tree in front of him and commented in surprise.
In fact, Roy was a little surprised because it was his first time here.
Previously, he only heard from Captain Berkeley that he helped Roy choose a giant tree on the outskirts of the city that could be transformed into a tower.
But Roy never thought that this giant oak tree would be so tall...
"This tree is really big. The place where we stopped is just one of its horizontal branches."
"The only inconvenient thing is that this is a suburb of Padstow."
Although the parking spots on the terminal platform have been built, no shock absorption and anti-collision have been installed yet.
The magic airship didn't dare to approach it at all.
Because even with the slowest translation, the force of the magic airship's collision is still very terrifying at the moment it touches the terminal.
The old dwarf Mags talked eloquently to the mixed elves around him. These mixed elves will soon be responsible for driving this magic airship, so the old dwarf Mags is currently undergoing assault training:
"An excellent captain needs to be able to clearly judge whether the magic airship transformed from a three-masted sailboat will cause damage to the magic airship when it slowly approaches. If the preparations for berthing are not done well, the side of the ship will be damaged. Once the side comes close, minor cracks may occur, or in more severe cases, the entire hull may be smashed.”
"If it is a larger aerial giant ship, you need to be more careful. Generally, it is enough to hover at close range. Since the giant ship has better stability in the air, you can set up a sampan on the ship and connect it to the tower. "
A mixed-blood elf student asked: "Teacher Mags, should we stop?"
The old dwarf Mags quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it this time. The purpose of our coming here was originally to see if the reserved space on the tower was enough to park this magic airship. Now it seems that I am just worrying too much." Well, there is no need to consider the docking space of the magic airship in this natural airport.”
"If there is no problem here, we will go to an apple orchard on the outskirts of here." The mixed-blood elf student displayed the map in his hand and pointed to a location outside Padstow City and whispered.
"Our magic airship only has two propulsion devices. It is currently in the trial stage. There is nothing to say about flying like this. Normally, try not to use the propulsion device as the main power to fly. Our flight route is between the two airport terminals. time, after leaving the tower, ascend directly to the height of the wind layer as much as possible, then fill the sails, and sail with the help of wind in the wind layer until you reach the destination, then land at the airport terminal. Try not to do such short-distance flights in normal times. It will consume a lot of magic crystals," the old dwarf Mags explained patiently.
The mixed-blood elf student couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Mags, can this magic airship fly into the high-altitude wind layer?"
"It's totally fine."
The old dwarf Mags assured him, patting his chest.
Then Mags began to introduce to several mixed-blood elf students how to quickly ascend the magic airship into the wind layer, how to deal with various unexpected problems encountered during the ascent, etc...
This group of mixed-blood elf students have not yet experienced sailing in the wind flow layer. Although the old dwarf Mags has been explaining how to enter the wind flow layer and how to escape from the wind flow layer, for them, this kind of paper talk has no memory at all.
However, these mixed-blood elf students are serious and eager to learn, and they will take notes meticulously.
…
After the magic airship flew slowly to the apple orchard on the outskirts of the city, it hovered over the woodland. Roy and the old dwarf Mags used the hanging basket to get off the magic airship. A carriage was waiting in the orchard. When the mixed-blood elf coachman saw Roy and the old dwarf Mags approaching, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and opened the carriage. Door.
Roy took the old dwarf Mags into the carriage and let the carriage take them away from the apple orchard...
The carriage was racing along the forest road, and the trees outside the carriage window kept sliding back.
"Can your four students control this magical airship?"
Roy was sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but ask the old dwarf Mags.
"Yes, each of them has experience sailing independently."
"However, controlling a magic airship to sail at high altitudes requires more than just an excellent captain. It also requires a group of experienced sailors. Once it enters the wind layer, adjusting the sail angle is not a simple matter. matter."
The old dwarf Mags sat opposite Roy and muttered.
"I hope that through this voyage, these elf students will grow up quickly."
This time the old dwarf Mags got off the magic airship in the apple orchard in order to rush back to Partington Island to preside over the magic airship renovation project there.
Accompanied by Roy, the old dwarf Mags successfully returned to Partington Island through the portal.
…
Mags left the four dwarf apprentices around him on the magic airship. For the next part of the voyage, these four dwarves will explain how to sail at high altitudes...
Roy returns alone to the apple orchard on the outskirts of Padstow.
Rambo was already in charge of shipping supplies in the apple orchard. Mountains of wooden boxes were filled with elf biscuits and dried fish, and there were also a large number of apples and breadfruit waiting to be shipped.
Dozens of mixed-blood elf warriors stood on both sides of the ship, hanging ropes one after another, using the cranes they wore to hoist the supplies up, and then moved them into the cabin.
Rambo looked at the huge thing floating in the air and said to Roy excitedly:
"Is this the magic airship you modified on Partington Island?"
"Well, when the route between Padstow City and Plateau City is opened in the future, most of the supplies can be transported by magic airship." Roy replied.
"Is this the power of goblin technology?" Lambo rubbed his sore neck, still refusing to take back his gaze...
"Now it can also be said to be dwarf technology. The main aerodynamic device and propulsion device on this magic airship come from the dwarven kingdom!"
"With this big guy transporting supplies, it will be much more convenient in the future." Lambo sighed.
Roy on the side shook his head and whispered: "Transporting supplies is only one of its abilities. This time I also ordered forty ship-mounted magic cannons from the Imperial Business Group. Once they are installed on the magic airship , it will become a war fortress. When that group of murlocs wants to leave Sun Island Bay, it will depend on whether I am willing or not."
Lambo looked at Roy with wide eyes, thinking about such a huge ship floating in the air, constantly bombarding an island, and he felt a little shuddering just thinking about it.
"Prepare more elf biscuits and other food here in the warehouse. Now the demand for food in Plateau City is constantly increasing. Before Sun Island Bay is recaptured, this demand will continue to increase, so from Padstow City The materials shipped here to the Pagisto Plateau are still mainly food and living materials.”
Roy explained to Rambo.
As the person in charge of Padstow City's material transfer station, Lambeau needs to be responsible for part of the material procurement work.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Lambeau put on an air of being relieved that I am with you.
…
Since the floating device on the magic airship is always running, the magic airship will burn an extra amount of magic crystals every day it stays, so Roy did not stay more in the apple orchard outside Padstow City. .
When the magic airship is fully loaded with supplies, all twelve floating devices must be in operation to hold the magic airship steadily...
Roy gave the sailing instructions to the four dwarf apprentices on the ship.
The floating device on the magic airship was fully activated, and the magic stream almost overflowed to the outside of the magic pattern array. At this time, the magic airship began to slowly rise into the air.
In the captain's cabin of the ship building, Roy smiled and asked the dwarf apprentice who was holding the steering wheel firmly: "In the dwarf country, are there magic airships between almost every city? "
Roy's words immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding mixed-blood elf students, and everyone focused their attention on the dwarf apprentice.
The dwarf apprentice smiled naively. He was probably very young. Only the beard above his lips was braided, and his chin was still bald. He looked funny.
However, this dwarf apprentice has a very gentle personality and likes to talk.
"In fact, this kind of magic airship is very rare in our area..."
Roy was slightly startled by the dwarf apprentice's answer. After all, it was a production base for aerospace devices. How could there be no magic airship there?
"Why?" Roy couldn't help asking.
The dwarf apprentice talked eloquently: "The main reason is that our cities don't need it very much. Our cities are on mineral veins, and they are almost all semi-underground cities. There are mineral veins connecting these cities, and many mineral veins are We have dug it through. In fact, the underground rail train is more convenient than this magic airship, but the construction cost is very high, and underground work has a certain threshold for the construction team. It seems that only the dwarf country has underground rail trains. "
"As for the magic airship, you will know later how much magic crystal this kind of vehicle burns, and the biggest problem limiting the magic airship is to have air superiority!"
"Thunderbirds often appear in our area. As long as it is targeted by that kind of fourth-level monster, it can shoot down a magic airship as long as it releases a bolt of lightning in the air... That's why we didn't build an airport terminal, and we don't have magic. airship."
"The place where magic airships are really popular is in the Green Empire. Every city there has an airport terminal, and their routes weave a network almost throughout the entire empire..."
Roy listened carefully.
This dwarf apprentice told about a world completely different from the elven continent, which interested Roy very much...
