Chapter 128: Parting Ways
The pitch-black AW-609 gently touched its wheels against the ground of Hilzi Harbor in the last few touches of dusk. Wu Ran, who was by the window, sensed the impact, and reached out to wipe the saliva from his faceβhe fell asleep uncontrollably after being completely relaxed.
"It's not night yet?" Wu Ran, who rubbed his eyes, looked up and could see the glow that was still on the west side of the new city airport on the north bank of Xierqi, "So fast?" Is this Hilzi? β
"The speed and range of a small airliner, the way helicopters take off and land." The co-pilot of the tiltrotor whistled, "Actually, if it weren't for Elta's side getting a few of these new toys, you probably could have made it to Hilzi so quickly." Oh, look over there. β
Wu Ran and Noy Isaas immediately followed the co-pilot's outstretched hand to look out the window.
The port, airport, and shipyard of Hilzi were the most priority projects, and ground began on the first day the Elta Army marched into the city - as for the planning, the facilities that occupy the uninhabited area on the north bank of the estuary have long been eager to try in the drawing book.
So at this time, Wu Ran and Neuezas saw a well-equipped Hilqi Airport. As the runway of the AW-609 in the landing area gradually moved towards the well-lit maintenance area and the apron, Wu Ran finally saw clearly what the co-pilot was referring to just now - a Yun 12 with a pontoon, and under the pontoon was a pulley!
And Noysas began to exclaim: he naturally couldn't tell the difference between tiltrotors, helicopters and ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, and when he first came into contact with these machines, he only knew that these were wonderful creations made by people from other worlds and could fly without magic.
This thing did not appear in the dictates of the soldiers of the defeated Western Expeditionary Army, but it was nothing more than a little material. Neusas was already well aware of the exaggeration of the defeated army, and it was only surprised to see the AW-609 landing on the foredeck of the Minsheng, not to the level of exclamation.
Because AW-609 is really not big in his eyes. Of course, it is acceptable to describe it as a carriage or a chariot, but to describe it as a warship is inevitably suspected of being a false blow. As for the most widely circulated "Iron Giant Bird"? When Neuesas took a closer look at the tiltrotor that had landed on the Minsheng, he couldn't make sense of the fact that the wings, with its large lumps at both ends and its bloated fuselage, were connected to the bird.
But now, the air forces of China and Egypt, neatly arranged in simple hangars and open-air stands, are constantly lifting and shattering his illusions.
From the Chong-8DASH, the main model of the Elta General Aviation, which is being maintained in the hangar, to the Chinese Air Force Y-9 transport plane, which is about to set off for night missions and taxiing on the runway with red and green navigation lights, to the 12 fully equipped Y-5-2000s of a squadron of the newly established Elta Air Force, and even the 12th working aircraft belonging to the Port Authority......
The small model was not impressive, but when the turboprop engine of the Yun-9, which was on a regular duty to transport high-value components, began to loosen from the constraints of the throttle, Neusas's face turned pale with a sudden turn of rage.
That thing is a veritable "battleship in the sky...... He instantly understood why the Church's empty ship sank, and it was a matter of course: if the machine under his feet wasn't big enough to bite the Twin Moons Church's empty ship, but the machine that just screamed off the ground couldn't be said to be unqualified, right? Compared to these machines that fly up and down in the clouds, they are just empty ships that "float" in the clouds...... At best, it's just a target.
Wu Ran, who turned around, also saw Noy Aisas's expression. This was not surprising to him, or rather, every outsider who saw such a scene for the first time. This kid ...... No, although the current god Noy Esas has a slightly higher threshold, he still can't survive this level after all.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." No sooner had AW-609 come to a stop in the take-off and landing zone than someone pushed a roll of red carpet all the way to the hatch. "Comrade Wu Ran, well done."
Wu Ran naturally didn't dare to take the lead, so he only nodded to the head of the construction in Hilqi and said, "Chief, this is the current god Noy Aisas." The main thing is not on me, so even a word is superfluous.
As he expected, the Grand Chief's main concern was Neu Aisas. I saw him stretch out his hand to shake the other party, and then began to show goodwill on the red carpet, "We warmly welcome your hand of peace." Of course, I still can't represent the overall situation on specific matters, so I still deign you to go to Mendong City to discuss in detail. β
Noy Isas thought that the person in the other world in front of him, who was dressed in black and wearing a tie and looked like an official, would openly attack the turmoil on the Minsheng here, but fortunately he didn't.
"I really didn't expect that my people would still be bent on causing trouble for you even now." Noysas bowed deeply, at least now that he was safe on base. "I can't help but be responsible for their stubbornness. I'm so sorry......"
One of the most valuable qualities of a human being is pretending. The younger brother can not see the current situation clearly, and "Brother Black Fly" can gamble his life and future for illusory goals and illusory honors like a foolish child, but if he knows the root and knows that he is so stupid again, he really can't match the status of the big guy.
Although there is no shortage of such "big guys" in the Bilunar Church, no, this man immediately pushed the pot on their heads: "If a 'peace worker' who is committed to peace and encourages equal treatment with his own people is also blamed, then this world really needs to be corrected." It should be the murderers on the throne of God who are responsible, not the pioneers like you. β
"You...... Know so much about the Bi-Moon Church? Noy Esas asked. Could it be that she ......?"
"Yes, it's not just her. When you get to Mendong City, you will understand everything. β
In the early morning of the same day, the Chong-8DASH passenger plane that carried out a special transportation mission landed safely and on time at the portal base airport. After saying goodbye to Neuesas, Wu Ran was taken by the commuter bus to the inspection facility that led to the other end of the portal. His documents have also been re-written into the data, and he no longer has the right of way in Mendong City and other offices.
In other words, everything in the other world will soon be temporarily disconnected from him. Although this is not considered to be "dismissed", let alone "degraded", it still makes Wu Ran a little sad.
Disturbed by sadness, he closed his eyes on the commuter bus, and the tense time of the past year or so passed by him like a movie. It didn't take long for the commuter bus to stop in front of the quarantine facility. As soon as he looked up with his suitcase, he saw an acquaintance - Officer Lin Jingshi, whose eyebrows were full of anxiety.
"Jingshi!" Wu Ran, who met a classmate in another country, hurriedly took three steps and two steps up and patted the other party's shoulder, "I haven't seen you for a long time." Waited, right? β
"Didn't wait a few minutes." Lin Jingshi's pupils were full of anxiety, "I only set off from the guest house when the passenger plane landed. Without further ado, let's get through the door. β
"Need 'without further ado' to get to this point?" This time, Wu Ran is not calm. "Lao Lin, do you need to be so early? Now that we're past the portal, the person who explained to us won't be able to get there until tomorrow morning, and we won't be able to move even a single step from the opposite base until he comes......"
"It's urgent." Lin Jingshi told the truth, "My parents don't know why they suddenly got into the same situation, and now it's even more upside down, and the family is about to become two families from here." Both sides were vying for my support, but I didn't know what was really going on until I went back. I don't think I'm qualified to stay in another world for even a moment now, and getting closer to my hometown by even one meter can make me feel more at ease. β
"Well, let's go now." Wu Ran thought about it for a while, and indeed found that the seriousness of this matter exceeded his imagination. "It's hard for you, brother."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Lin Jingshi walked into the red line of the quarantine area and handed over his luggage to the tightly wrapped staff next to him. "It's my responsibility as an only child. Even if I can't mend the relationship between my parents, I still have to keep the two families from seeing each other, and let me live a good life. β
The inspection and quarantine facilities at the portal have always been working 24 hours a day in three shifts. Not only do there are redundant personnel, but even equipment is backed up - unlike ordinary public service facilities that will close a few windows, the quarantine passage to and from the portal has several passages, even if the personnel are not on duty in real time, the quarantine process can start within five minutes after the arrival of the demand, which is also the consideration of the maximum efficiency of transportation capacity and emergency situations.
After all, even at midnight when few people pass, all kinds of materials transported from China and all kinds of minerals, resources, and samples transported to China by Elta are still making full use of the limited railway line dispatching traffic, and you can't relax the quarantine of materials just because the sun has run to the back of the planet, right?
As for emergency situations, it is better understood. The portal is in danger of collapsing at any time, even if there are many academicians who have been using honorary tickets to prove that its current situation is very stable, but it is guaranteed that the other world must prepare for the worst after all - try to evacuate the Chinese personnel who can be evacuated, and by then it is very likely that one hundred more people can be saved back to China in five minutes, which is a veritable "life-saving time".
After a year of improvements, the quarantine process on both sides of the portal has also undergone significant improvements. More than a dozen processes have been changed from mandatory inspections to sampling tests, and several tests that have not appeared at all have been cancelled - now it only takes half an hour to pass through the door, which is really convenient.
