697 to the South Seas
"Alas! I didn't expect it to take off this way! It's a big loss! "I can finally control the plane smoothly~ that is, after the flight of the 'wooden kite', I said helplessly.
Just after the mandarin duck lifted the wooden kite into the air with me, I specially asked the duck to take a look at the gold consumed, and it turned out that it flew for less than a minute, and it actually consumed two large boxes of gold! After all this, I almost cried out in distress! In that big box, there are more than 100 gold ingots pretending to be 100 taels!
"Lost so much money at the beginning! If it doesn't go well in the South Seas, I'll go to the South Seas to be a pirate! Until you earn enough money to go back! I said silently through gritted teeth.
And after flying, I realized that there was another troublesome place. This is ancient times! There is no such thing as navigation at all, although there are mobile phones and various navigators in the mall~ But now it is ancient, and it is completely useless to take out this thing. There are no satellites in the sky to navigate......
So when I made a special trip to Li Tao's house to set it up before I left, I just wanted to ask him for a map. I also got a small number of maps of the Tang Dynasty from Cheng Yanjin's mansion, but there was only a very rudimentary map from the Chamber of Commerce. So I can only go to Li Tao's house to have a look. With some luck, I really got a lot of various maps of Datang. It's all the kind used by the military. But now after flying into the sky, when I handed over the duck to her to navigate, I realized that neither I nor the duck could understand where I was running from mid-air! The various markings on the map are not clearly visible in the sky......
So the best plan now is actually to land, and then re-plan the route and set off! And you can't fly directly to your destination. This is the same as rushing on land, after finding the next city first, you won't get lost by flying one stop at a time......
But every take-off and landing I considered actually required a lot of energy from both the mandarin duck and the duck to do it. So~ I feel sorry for the gold consumed!
For this reason, I was in mid-air, flying in the direction of the south, and discussing what to do. As a result, I found a small town passing by, but I couldn't find it on the map...... So I knew I had to go off track.
"Forget it, I can't find out where I flew there anyway, as long as the general direction is good~ Anyway, I will definitely be able to go to the beach!" I gritted my teeth and said.
Then I decided not to care about the map this time, and directly 'don't hit the south wall and don't give up'! As long as the general direction is not lost, then sooner or later we will be able to fly to the South Seas. And this plane~ ah no, it was said on the wooden kite that the amount of gasoline it carried was only as large as the fuel tank removed from the motorcycle. So you have to refuel once after flying for a few hours. Since I haven't tried to refuel in the air yet, I'll need to try it later to see if I can ask the duck to help open the fuel tank and fill it up when I'm flying. After all, the amount of energy consumed for one landing and one take-off is just too much...... So if I can refuel in the air this time, then I will fly directly until I run out of energy.
After all, the mandarin duck had already returned to the tower on her territory to rest because she had taken off with the plane. If you land, then for safety. She had to wait until she woke up before she could continue flying......
So! With all these things in mind, my best plan now is to take a compass and set the course. Fly due south until you can see the sea...... If you can't check halfway, you can only land and rest until the mandarin duck recovers......
"Alas! I still didn't think it through at the time! I said helplessly.
"Indeed, the master's brain is really not good~ Ahem! I mean, I'll try it later! ”
When the wooden kite was renovated this time, the only pity was that the fuel tank was tied to the position of the nose. Fortunately, the fuel tank was not installed on the underside of the nose. Otherwise, you won't even be able to refuel in the air.
But even so, if you want to refuel, you have to risk standing on the flying wooden kite, and walk to the front of the cockpit to get to the fuel tank. I can't do that anyway. She could only do that by securing herself behind me with a safety rope. But fortunately, this girl herself can fly. And even if she stumbles and falls, she can use the way to travel back to the mall and cross back past me again.
And a barrel of gasoline is not much. The fuel tank of the motorcycle can only hold 5 liters of gasoline. Just fill two bottles with a Coke bottle.
Luckily, after her first attempt, she successfully took out the gasoline that had returned to the underground garage of the mall in advance and poured it into the big Coke bottle.
Also, I don't know if it's good luck. All the way I flew on this flight was a sunny day with a wide field of vision. Not even a single dark cloud was touched. But when flying in the sky, it's still very boring. After the early excitement and novelty passed, especially after a full 10 hours of driving, I felt like I couldn't open my eyes! But at this time, I actually saw a long river below...... Then I was surprised to find that this long river that can't be seen from the air at a glance~ should be the Yangtze River!
"Duck, look for the map and see if it's the Yangtze River below!"
After flipping through the book and the map, we realized that we had just flown across the Yangtze River. In this way, when we set off from Chang'an and passed by the Yangtze River, we had already been flying in the air for ten hours...... In this way, I roughly calculated my flight speed~ It was only more than 100 kilometers per hour! How do you feel like it's not as fast as driving fast on the road?
However, because it is a straight line in the air, and there is no air traffic control in this era, the altitude of my flight is not particularly high. This made me realize that although the speed of flying is not fast enough, it also saves several times the time compared to rushing on the road! After all, flying in a straight line is not the same as going around the official road.
After roughly estimating that it would take more than ten hours to see the sea, I discussed it with the duck and decided to land and rest! Otherwise, flying at night~ seems to be very dangerous! After all, we are all flying for a long time for the first time. Who knows what will be more troublesome and dangerous when flying at night!
Although after landing, you have to wait for the mandarin duck to wake up before you can set off again~ Although it is said that the duck can also take off. But when flying, there is no one around to take care of it, what if there is danger! I love
But it's okay! When I decided to land, we were right over a large city.
I also deliberately circled for a while, and flew out of the city before I was ready to land. Originally, I was planning to let the duck turn into a whirlwind and carry the plane to land. But when this girl heard that I was going to land, she told me that she was ready to land. Then without saying much, I directly trapped her and me in the cab with a safety rope, and I saw that this girl actually took out a big cloth bag. Then after I got one end in the cockpit and got it right, I just turned off the switch at hand. The plane simply lost power, and the propellers did not turn. Then she threw the cloth bag out.
Suddenly, I was confused by a whirlwind of the sky...... The burden thrown out by this girl turned out to be a huge parachute inside! Then the parachute opened, and after sliding the wooden kite in a gliding state, he directly took the wooden kite and landed in a spiral with us...... It's really the same as the footage in the movie at that time!
"I'll go! Parachute landing? You can't ...... Never mind! "I'm dazed, and I want to complain as soon as I land. But the thought that if I landed according to my plan, it would be a waste of energy, that is, gold! Although this kind of landing method of 'opening the parachute directly in the air' made me dizzy and wanted to vomit, and the world was spinning uncomfortably for a long time. But it's not a waste of energy!
It's just that when we landed, we directly attracted a large number of Datang soldiers with weapons. I think it's because I've been hovering in the air for a while.
Because we didn't fly very high, we actually attracted a lot of people to look up along the way. Just as he decided to land, he circled around the town in front of him. In addition, a large 'parachute' was opened when landing...... It's not surprising that this doesn't attract soldiers!
But I'm not afraid of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. After all, I have proper paperwork. And the duck is also very clever. After seeing someone coming around, she disappeared directly on the spot and 'exchanged' the award that was a little confused...... This girl is very skilled in exchanging papers. There's nothing wrong with finding her. And when the soldiers came around, they could only find two figures getting off the plane, and now one of them has changed. But they didn't find out.
"Hmmm! Li Hei: What is the situation~ this? The award looked at the people who came around and asked a little confused.
After all, this girl was originally in the warehouse, and was discussing with others about decorating her wooden house, and then suddenly a flower in front of her eyes was released.
I probably understood what the duck meant, and then pointed to the soldiers who were surrounding in front of me, and roughly explained the situation in front of me to the award. Then, sure enough, she took out the 'customs clearance document specially approved by the emperor' from her bosom and walked towards the soldiers!
When the soldiers saw the people who had 'descended' from the heavens coming down towards them, they were so nervous that they almost moved their hands! However, after all, the girl was a young woman, and after taking out the familiar customs clearance paperwork in her hand, this did not cause a riot, and she smoothly handed over to the leader of the soldiers.
Then I saw a person who looked like a civil official slowly walked out of the team, and after reading the paperwork of the award, he respectfully saluted the award...... Later, I learned that this was an official stationed in Yuzhou. Although he is a clergy, he also knows the name of the Cheng family. And the deeds of me, an 'immortal disciple', have actually been spread here a long time ago.
"What! This guy actually knows me? Do you especially worship my deeds? Still want a 'trial'? Wait a minute? What a 'trial'! Oh! You said he knew Dugumou's kid? Good! I see, promise him! ”
After talking to me about the prize, I was surprised to learn that this guy had heard a lot of news about me from that kid Dugumou. Even the thing that 'the Immortal Sect has trials' is known.
After mentioning Dugumou, I remembered that there was indeed such a thing! At that time, in order to fool Dugu, I deliberately tricked him before I told him about the trial. But when I said that I was going to open an academy to spread knowledge, no one talked about it anymore. Because Dugumou, that big-mouthed kid, has long described the 'trial' as very terrifying and 'miserable'! So many people know that it is simply impossible to join 'Bai Yujing'. The best way to do this is to wait for the academy to open and then 'study'! And the guy in front of me, called 'Di Zhiben', had a few drinks with Dugumou's kid when he was in Chang'an City, and heard a lot about me......
But it doesn't matter, anyway, this so-called 'trial' is actually what I used to fool Dugu, although the process is very 'exciting' and since this Di Zhiben is so yearning~ Then I will satisfy his desire to try it! I'll have to fix it here for a while anyway. Maybe it's good to have an acquaintance to take care of!
Sure enough, after this Di Zhiben learned from the prize that I had agreed to him to participate in the trial, he actually invited our group directly to his 'mansion' to rest and stay.
But I refused, because it seemed like it was just me and the prize, in fact, if we were to rest, those girlfriends would have to come out of the group! Otherwise, if they learn that they will not let them out when they come to the new city, they will come to me to settle the score."
In addition, the sudden appearance of a bunch of people will definitely scare others, so I still declined this invitation from Di Zhiben. Let's decide to go to a local post house to rest!
As a result, in front of so many people, I secretly instructed the duck to put away the wooden kite and the parachute. Seeing the wooden kite that disappeared out of thin air, everyone was shocked!
After being escorted back to the city by these soldiers, I learned that this was the 'Yuzhou' city of the Tang Dynasty. It still looks like a beautiful city! And it covers a huge area. It's still next to the Yangtze River~ I'm just now confirming that this is really the Yangtze River!
It seems that the next time we fly for more than ten hours, as long as we don't make a mistake in the direction, we should be able to reach the beach!
Thinking about it this way, we are halfway to the 'South Seas' journey! Sure enough, flying is much faster than driving.
After entering the city and coming to the post station, I looked at the post station environment with a similar structure to Luoyang City, as well as the school yard in the post station. Somehow, I remembered again that the Yin-Yang School that had lost its traces and disappeared along with the people and towers......
