Chapter 705: Arriving at the Destination
Just as Ryan and the others were talking, the alarm in the spaceship suddenly sounded: "Warning, the ship's radar has detected a large-scale violent air movement ahead, and requests to turn on energy protection or change course." ”
"Bring the image in. Ryan commanded to the artificial intelligence in the spaceship, and as soon as the words fell, a 3D stereoscopic picture appeared in front of several people. From the picture, they could see that in front of him was a huge pillar of wind from the sea to the sky, which, according to the data marked on the side, was more than 3,000 meters high.
"Cloud Peak, Cloud Peak as high as a mountain. Sida looked at the projection in front of her and exclaimed quietly. "We're getting close to there now, what are we going to do, do we need to avoid it?"
"I think we might need to rush in. "This place is supposed to be a giant storm called the Dragon's Lair, and my dad said that there was a strong wind blowing around the Sky City. I think inside this unprecedented storm is the city in the sky that my father saw. ”
"Then how are we supposed to get in, just rush in?" said Hilda, looking a little worried. "With such a strong wind, I think even the military's most advanced flying warship will be swept into pieces. ”
"My father told me that there was an entrance and exit to the wall where it was safe to pass, otherwise the battered airship he was in would probably not have been able to come back and tell me the story. Balu said, then looking at Ryan, "So I think we might need to fly around this cloud peak and find that entrance." ”
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated, after all, our ship is much stronger than the flying ships of this world. Vehicles that can fly across galaxies in the harsh environment of the universe will never be afraid of the extreme conditions inside the planet's atmosphere. With that, Ryan ordered, "Open the shield, and rush straight in." ”
"Understood, the energy shield is open. The sound of artificial intelligence came from the spaceship, and a transparent blue shield like a bubble rose on the surface of the spaceship, enveloping the entire spaceship.
"Now let's rush in. After the ship raised its energy shield, Ryan spoke to everyone. I saw that the spaceship rushed straight towards the huge cloud peak, and then plunged into it.
After the ship entered the clouds, everything around it went dark. Thick clouds blocked out all light, making the interior of the peak as dark as a night without stars and moon.
In addition to this, the wind in the clouds is several times stronger than the wind outside the clouds. Under the violent friction of the air, one after another huge, dragon-like lightning swirled and exploded around the ship. But neither the blade-like wind nor the powerful lightning could break through the thin energy shield outside the spaceship.
Under the influence of the powerful engine of the spaceship, it only took them a dozen seconds to break through the thick wind wall and rush into the interior of the cloud peak. After breaking through the clouds, the interior is a calm space with only a light breeze.
After breaking through the surrounding clouds, Ryan led everyone to the very front of the ship. The ship has been modified, with the lower level of the front end being the weapons and control room, and the upper level being the dining room and observation deck. Observation deck. At Ryan's command, the three walls of the dining room began to display the outside scene in real time, making it look as if it were transparent.
"It's so beautiful. Everyone let out a heartfelt exclamation, and at this time, the clouds that had enveloped the entire spaceship just now had dispersed, and a majestic city in the sky appeared in everyone's sight.
The lower half of the castle in the sky is a hemispherical body, while the upper half is a three-fold sequential elevated wall. In the middle of the city wall are some white buildings, and on the top of the buildings a huge tree rises from above, and the dense foliage covers all the buildings.
"It's incredible!" Ryan sighed as he looked at the huge canopy that almost covered the entire city in the sky. "How did this tree clearly exceed the limit of what the world can support?"
"We'll be able to figure out why when we go up. "But we need to find a place to dock now, because I see a lot of buildings in this place that are badly weathered, and I'm worried that our ships will break them if they touch them at the slightest touch." ”
Hermione's concern was not unreasonable, as the lowest layer of the city walls in the sky stood there like a circle of light, which showed that the ground beneath the city in the sky had probably peeled off a lot due to weathering over a long period of time. In this case, the fact that your ship is close to it does not guarantee that it will not damage the buildings of Sky City.
After circling the entire Sky City, Ryan and the others turned on the anti-gravity system on the spaceship, and suspended in a clearing above the upper level of the Sky City. Just as they jumped off the ship, the sound of heavy footsteps came from a distance.
"Prepare for battle. Ryan and Hermione drew their wands and pointed at the place where the sound came from, gesturing for the two children to find a place to hide. "You go back to the ship first, it's safer there. ”
"Understood," Baru nodded and pulled Hilda into the ship, as the crystallization of ancient technology, Ryan was worried that they would probably encounter some defense systems that were not seen in the anime, so it was always okay to retreat the non-combatants first at this time.
Soon, a robot with moss on its body walked over. The robot looked at the two red lights behind them, flickered for a while, and then walked in the other direction.
"It should be for us to follow him. Looking at the robot's movements, Ryan and Hermione thought of the robot in the anime who lived in harmony with nature. To be precise, this robot with itself can no longer be described as a robot. He should have had his own soul after a long evolution, and he could be regarded as a constructed life.
At this time, a purple streamer flew out of the spaceship, and at the same time said to Ryan and them, "That big guy just now let us follow him to enjoy this beautiful city." ”
"Can you understand him?" After seeing that there was no danger, the two children also ran out of the ship, and Sida asked with some curiosity about the rose crystal floating in the air. "But I didn't hear anything just now?"
"Absolutely. Rose Crystal raised her head a little proudly. "Don't forget that I'm the same creature as him in a way, and in this case I know what he's going to tell us. ”
Several people followed the robot along a path through a beautiful garden, flanked by beautiful buildings made of white marble. It's just that because of the passage of time, these buildings are dilapidated.
However, in contrast to the dilapidated buildings, the whole garden is full of life, and plants are growing luxuriantly. Some cute little animals are running around in the bushes.
"Wow, this is a city. Attracted by a group of round otter-like creatures to the edge of a square pool, Hilda saw a shocking sight through the clear water.
"This is supposed to be the patio of the Sky City in the past. Looking at the huge city hidden beneath the water's surface, Ryan guessed what the pool was all about, "but then, by accident or by the work of robots, they converted it into a large reservoir that would provide water for the entire Sky City ecosystem." ”
Eventually, led by the robot, several people climbed a large staircase and passed through a deep doorway into the top of the Sky City.
