Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Herald, order them to return to the ship, speed out of the range of the storm and rush to join the fleet, and inform the fleet to prepare for the storm in advance." ”

The herald was stunned for a moment, then threw out the order, and after a while, the herald came back: "Dean, they asked what should we do?" ”

Yuan Fang frowned and said, "Let them leave quickly, leave us alone, just say that I have my own way." ”

The herald ran to give the order, and after a while, the other two airships slowly crossed over from both sides, and the three were staggered, and the people in the other two airships all looked at the airship where Yuan Fang was, their eyes full of worry.

Yuan Fang was so angry that he scolded and scolded, and the two airships sped up and left, and after a while, they turned into two black dots and flew away in the direction they came.

Guan Xiaoyun broke the silence: "Fortunately, the two boats went back to deliver the letter, otherwise if they were with us, they wouldn't be able to stop the bed, and maybe it would be destroyed." These damn pirates, Dean, I'll just say it, pirates can't be trusted. ”

Sang Rou frowned and asked, "But why are they attacking us?" ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Xueqin, what can you do about this situation now?" ”

Yuan Fang's words were to the point, everyone looked at Xueqin, now they were still on the verge of a storm, if this continued, once they were caught up by the storm, even if the airship was strong, it would have to be torn to pieces by the irresistible force of nature.

Xueqin struggled to hold the joystick, hesitated for a moment, and said, "In this case, there is another way besides abandoning the ship. ”

Abandoning ship is obviously not a good way, if it is okay when the wind and waves are calm, the big deal is to soak in the sea for a while and wait for your own ship to come to the rescue, but not now, even if the water is good, it is difficult to survive this stormy wave.

Yuan Fang asked, "What way?" ”

Xueqin pointed to it: "Rise, keep rising, rise to the height of more than the storm." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and from the first day they learned to drive, the instructors repeatedly emphasized the importance of flying altitude, and it must not exceed the safe altitude, otherwise it would cause fatal danger, but the instructor never said what the fatal danger was.

This can't be blamed on Xueqin, what danger will happen Xueqin is not very clear, but I heard Yuan Fang say before that if it flies too high, it will be very difficult for the airship to return to the ground after breaking away from gravity, and at that altitude, the air content is different from normal, which will cause a lot of damage to the human body, and even be unable to breathe and cause death.

Yuan Fang was silent, everyone was waiting for Yuan Fang's decision, the situation was critical, Yuan Fang didn't have much time to think about it, and there were not many choices in front of him, after thinking for a while, Yuan Fang decided again, rather than waiting for death, it was better to give it a go, and immediately ordered: "Raise the height, avoid the storm, Xueqin, pay attention to the ascent speed, and once you find something wrong, descend immediately." ”

Xueqin answered the order and controlled the airship to slowly increase its altitude. Ye Qingru asked Yuan Fang in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, what danger will there be if you fly too high?" ”

Yuan Fang lowered his voice and replied: "I don't know very well, I have never studied these before, I know that the higher the place, the worse the air, there will be a lot of gases that are not good for the human body, people in that environment for a long time will not be able to bear the body, if it is higher, fly to the stratosphere, it will be over." Yuzuki asked, "Why is it over?" ”

Yuan Fang scratched his head and said, "It seems that the air in the stratosphere is too thin for humans to breathe and will suffocate to death." ”

Sang Rou's face changed: "Brother-in-law, how high are you talking about the stratosphere?" Yuan Fang said uncertainly: "It seems to be 8,000 to 10,000 meters." ”

Guan Xiaoyun, Sang Rou, Jieyue, Xia Yi and Ye Qingru rolled their eyes in unison, and Guan Xiaoyun said, "Dean, are you kidding, 10,000 meters?" Can we fly that high? ”

Yuan Fang spread his hands and said, "Theoretically, it can." The crowd rolled their eyes again.

Yuan Fang didn't explain, 10,000 meters seemed like a joke to them, but Yuan Fang knew that it was possible.

At the beginning, Yuan Fang strictly limited the flight altitude of the airship, and the altitude should not exceed two thousand meters at most under normal cruising, and it was kept at about five hundred to one thousand meters during combat, that is to say, since the advent of the airship, no one has ever flown to an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and the same is true for Xueqin.

With the strong wind, the airship rose diagonally, and the storm vortex behind it was getting closer and closer, and now the existence of the vortex could be seen without a telescope, the thunder rumbled, the raindrops crackled on the glass window, everyone remained quiet, and the lookout looked nervously at the dark clouds behind them.

A voice broke the silence in the cabin: "Instructor, the altimeter has reached its limit. ”

Everyone looked at the altimeter on the wall, and as the pressure increased, the water column in the glass tube had overflowed from the highest point, and now it had exceeded the limit of three thousand meters, well, the limit of the altimeter, not the limit of the airship.

Xueqin looked back at Yuan Fang, who nodded slightly and said softly, "Keep rising." ”

Xueqin trusted Yuan Fang from the bottom of her heart, nodded, and continued to control the airship to rise slowly, at this time, except for Yuan Fang and Sang Rou, everyone else's hearts were in their throats, nervously and fearfully waiting for the unknown danger to come.

Gradually, the wind seemed to stop, the waves were no longer visible on the sea, the rain stopped, and then, the window became blurry, everyone became nervous, Xueqin reminded: "We are passing through the clouds, everyone be careful, there may be some bumps, all hold on." ”

It's nothing to pass through the clouds, but this is a dark cloud, a dark cloud of thunder and lightning, Yuan Fang's heart almost jumped out, click, a lightning bolt crossed the port side, and the faces of all the people in the green electric light were pale and pale, and after feeling the power of nature so closely, he could feel the insignificance of human beings.

Sang Rou swallowed her saliva, grabbed Yuan Fang's arm tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, we won't be struck by lightning, right?" ”

Yuan Fangqiang calmed down: "No, we haven't done anything wrong, God won't get along with us." ”

Guan Xiaoyun's face turned pale and reminded: "Dean, don't forget, it's a bit unkind for us to fight the Yuan and the Empire, do you think God will know?" ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "I may not have known just now, but now I know it." Guan Xiaoyun wanted to cry without tears and said, "Huh? Everyone glared at Guan Xiaoyun, and Guan Xiaoyun lowered his head aggrievedly.

There was another muffled sound, and a bolt of lightning shot straight into the distance to the starboard window, which was really a single light and flint.
