Act XXXVI. Scarlet Rocket Third
"Parts?"
Ralph Helmheim asked, suspicious.
"Wait, I'll give you the parts, then our car won't move, what will happen to the next race?"
He realized it later, and then he remembered that if he didn't escape from here now, then I was afraid that not only the next game, but also the rest of his life would have to say goodbye.
However, what does this person want to do with the parts of the car?
You can't just build a big ship out of those parts and let everyone drift out of here, right?
Thinking of the fairytale-like scene from before, Ralph Helmheim pondered.
"What are you going to do with these parts?"
After a commotion, Alexander Paplovich looked at Bai Ge and asked.
"Maybe some people don't know the conditions for the occurrence of the natural disaster [Steel Feather]."
Bai Ge looked at the contestants and said.
Natural disasters and related information are semi-classified intelligence, most of the information circulating in the world has only one name, and there are even some that have been distorted into legends like Rafflanzer, and it is normal for ordinary people not to know about natural disasters.
"This natural disaster will appear after the human aircraft flies into the sky, destroying the aircraft and bringing calamity at the same time, and this monster in front of us is about to transform into a natural disaster, therefore, I want to lure out [Steel Feather] and let it destroy this monster, after all, this monster is also a flying machine."
Bai Ge explained simply.
"This is the creation of the old era, called the rocket, and when it lifts off, it is when we die."
"But if a natural disaster comes, then we have to die?"
Ralph Helmheim doesn't understand, what kind of natural disaster is coming, won't he be buried together?
"No, although [Steel Feather] will bring destruction, but the fundamental goal is still the aircraft, at least it will not be like this rocket, which will completely destroy this area when it is launched, attracting [Steel Feather], so that they can compete with each other, and we still have a chance to survive."
Bai Ge said, just waiting here now? There is only one dead end.
He can't maintain the [Animal World] for a long time? In the face of the impact of the tsunami, it is already very extreme, how long can it last? Then I'm afraid that the [animal world] will be revitalized again? In this case, it is impossible to say which side is more dangerous.
As for why not shipbuilding? It's also because Bai Ge visually detected that this flesh rocket was on the verge of launch, counting the time it took for him to turn the parts into a ship? They may not have time to escape the radiance of the Abyssal Relic.
Therefore? Bai Ge's choice is to use the information left by the Eris civilization in his mind, and then combine the power of the [Animal World] with the extraordinary ability of his ascender to create a flying machine? Through this flying machine? Attract Steelfeather and direct it to the Flesh Rocket.
Although it seems that building an airplane from scratch in one night seems to be a bit of a fantasy, Bai Ge knows that relying on extraordinary strength? That's the only thing they can do at the moment.
Of course, since the Flyer 1 itself is not an airplane? So he needs a sufficient material base to be able to operate.
Furthermore? According to the information of the [Steel Feather] obtained from the [Panda Council] so far, the top speed of this giant dragon has surpassed the sound? In other words? Bai Ge may need to let Flyer One race against [Steel Feather] at this distance? Reach the location of the Flesh Rocket before being completely consumed by the dragon's flames.
"I can use your parts to transform this vehicle into an airplane, fly it to that rocket, and attract [Steel Feather], that's my plan."
Bai Ge looked at the others.
This slightly crazy plan has overwhelmed many people.
They didn't quite understand what an airplane was, but they could understand that the young man was going to build a machine that could fly into the sky overnight and summon a natural disaster.
Is this possible?
Is this reasonable?
Suspicion pervasives.
Bai Ge wanted to explain again, but beside him, Wilbur suddenly spoke.
"Guys, the name of this car is Flyer One, and my grandfather, Smith Orwell, used to fly it into the sky."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud burst of questioning.
"How is it possible, this is obviously just a car!"
"Don't lie to us, although you did fly in the first stage, it was the influence of extraordinary power, right?"
"If it really flew into the sky, then this car should have been destroyed by that natural disaster, how could it still be here?"
"I've never heard of any of these things, so can you do it?"
Even Bai Ge was a little confused.
Although he had heard Wilbur mention it before, Bai Ge didn't quite believe that this car could really fly.
"No, it's true."
Wilbur said, opening the front lid of the Flyer One, only to see that in addition to the engine that drove the four wheels, there was also an old, oil-stained engine.
The engine was connected to the propeller in front of the Flyer One, which looked useless.
Since these were not carefully checked before, the maintenance of the car was all done by Wilbur, and Bai Ge was also a little surprised to see this engine.
He thought it was just a car fitting.
But......
"This engine is at least 50 years old."
Bai Ge stretched out his hand to touch it, the old engine was indeed close to destruction, and due to various modifications, it was estimated that it would not be able to turn in a short time.
"Well, my grandfather said that he used to build Flyer 1 and did a test flight off the coast of Kitty Hawk near my hometown, and he succeeded."
Wilbur said seriously.
"However, if he does succeed, there is no doubt that a natural disaster will come and tear him apart completely, right?"
In the distance, Alexander Baplovich asked, apparently, he knew some details of this natural disaster.
"This ...... My grandfather said he saw a dragon and raced against it, but he didn't fly over it. ”
Wilbur explained hesitantly.
"Really?"
Bai Ge was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice.
"It's true, Mr. Heinlein."
Wilbur said, pulling his notebook out of the car's storage box, and turning the first page to see a man who looked like Wilbur.
The man was wearing a leather coat with goggles on his head, and next to him, was Flyer One.
It's just that unlike the Flyer 1, which has now been transformed into a car, the machinery in the photo is lighter and slender, with two layers of wings spread out and a steel structure in the middle, no cab, only the simplest engine, propellers, and hand-operated steering rudders.
Judging from the knowledge of the Eris civilization in Bai Ge's mind, this is the most rudimentary flying machine, but it is indeed a flying machine.
In the history of mankind, before the invention of the real airplane, there were many similar creations that could fly into the sky.
For example, a glider is a flying machine that relies on the power of the wind to glide.
There are also hot air balloons, airships, and the like that take to the skies by the buoyancy generated by the gas with a low specific gravity.
An aircraft in the true sense of the word is a machine that is driven by an artificial power source, artificially controls the direction, and flies into the sky using the principle of aerodynamics.
It's just that, according to the observation records of [Steel Feather], such a flying machine will undoubtedly attract the peeps of natural disasters.
And Wilbur went so far as to say that his grandfather had successfully achieved flight and encountered [Steel Feather], but was not destroyed?
It's just incomprehensible.
Bai Ge didn't believe it, because according to his inspection, although the engine of this propeller was old, it did meet the conditions of a conventional aero engine, that is to say, fifty years ago, it was not completely impossible for Wilbur's grandfather to fly into the sky according to the appearance in the photo.
And, according to Wilbur, his grandfather was not an elevated inventor who made a name for himself in history, but just an ordinary human being.
In today's world, ordinary people can actually create flying machines that have been blocked by various governments, if other people say this, Bai Ge will definitely not believe it.
But he knew that Wilbur didn't look like he was lying, and Zhu Shuang also nodded, signaling the truth of Wilbur's words.
"Well, I wasn't going to build it directly on this car at first, but now it seems that I can shorten the time for the changeover."
Bai Ge nodded.
Whether Wilbur's grandfather actually flew into the sky, whether he really encountered [Steel Feather] and survived, it doesn't matter now.
"Anyway, our only hope for survival right now is this, and I hope you can help me."
Bai Ge said in a deep voice.
With the current Flyer One, it is only possible to make an airplane that can fly into the sky.
However, in order to reach extremely high speeds at this distance, and successfully lure [Steel Feather] to the location of the Flesh Rocket, instead of being devoured by the dragon just after taking off, more equipment is needed.
All the contestants present looked at each other.
The first to speak was Alexander Baplovich.
He raised his hand.
"My car, you can ask for whatever parts you want."
One after another, the other contestants also raised their hands.
At this juncture, there is no other option.
...
...
"Is it really too late?"
Zhu Shuang looked at the many parts on the ground, a little confused.
Bai Ge shuttled through the various islands and retrieved many accessories, at first glance, these were just bulk parts, and he couldn't imagine how to combine them into parts of an airplane.
"Well, it should."
Bai Ge took out his pocket watch.
With a slight press, the parts floated up with the ticking sound of the hour hand, and the heavy steel plates, tiny screws, smooth bearings, and various parts converged next to the Flyer One.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Ge spoke.
"Complex parts are assembled into an airplane."
It was as if the parts had been twisted by magic, and they were wrapped around Flyer One.
In Bai Ge's mind, the structural design of the aircraft appeared, and those parts were being reproduced under the power of fairy tales.
Although this process can be started with a single sentence, Bai Ge must have enough understanding of the target creation, otherwise he can only create inferior products that look like airplanes on the outside, but in fact cannot fly at all, or cannot reach high speeds.
After all, even if you make rice from the Animal World, you will turn back into bread when you eat it.
This is just a fairy-tale deception, not a rewriting of reality.
So, the more you know the details, the more you can do the perfect fraud.
As for the object of deception, it is, of course, this world.
Just when Bai Ge was concentrating on the transformation of Flyer One, a roar exploded in the distance, in the opposite direction to the flesh rocket.
"Ah......h
Bamboo Frost looked over there, silver lightning snaked under the starry sky, and a meteor rushed towards this direction, lighting up most of the night sky.
She recognized it at a glance, it was a [mad] level creature, [Silver Wind Dawn].
The pure white dragon-like creature came straight in the direction of the flesh rocket, and despite the distance, Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] caught it, and the creature stared at the flesh rocket with its red eyes, not noticing the contestants in the shallow sea.
Crackle –
The thunder was extinguished, the dark clouds condensed, and the palpitating electric light was bright and dazzling.
I saw that the silver-white phantom beast swept across the shallow sea, setting off a wave of waves, and the next moment, this monster came to the side of the flesh rocket.
"It's not fast enough......"
Bai Ge briefly measured the speed of [Silver Wind Dawn] and found that it did not exceed the sound.
The electric light hit the flesh rocket.
The black shell seemed to be torn apart, and the lightning sank into the sea, showing radial traces of electricity under the bright red sea, but the flesh rocket still stood.
Several thunderbolts fell, but the flesh rocket did not react in the slightest.
At this moment, a long howl came from the depths of the shallow sea.
Bai Ge could see that it was a huge whale-like creature, but it was not a cloud whale like an atmospheric creature, nor was it an ice-sculpture-like narwhal, but a dead man with no flesh and blood, only bones.
All that remains of the whale is its pale skeleton, and there are some strangely shaped seaweeds and corals growing on the bones.
Its eyes were hollow, and only the faint blue flames burned silently.
Its body is far larger than that of ordinary whales, even more than the cloud whale that Bai Ge had seen before, and in the body of the white bone whale, there are a large number of other fish of different shapes, as if constituting a unique ecological environment.
There is no doubt that this is a monster that is not inferior to [Silver Wind Dawn].
The white-boned whale also headed towards the flesh rocket, and seemed to be attracted by the aura of the abyssal relic.
At the same time, the bamboo frost also smells pheromones from all directions.
There are slender and sharp feet that leave depressions in the ground, and insects that are dozens of stories high.
There are also giant wolves with six-legged galloping and dark purple hair.
There is a giant ape with huge forelimbs, a dark red body, and four eyes.
There are many more, vicious, dangerous, terrifying beasts that are converging here.
It's like a giant whirlpool, attracting monsters from above the wasteland.
And in the center of the vortex, the black rocket, standing tall and ready to go.
