Chapter 868: Welcome aboard
Changing into crystal slippers, the two went straight to the power cabin.
The power compartment was empty, with no pipes covering the entire chamber, only a navigation astrolabe-like instrument in the center. There is a groove in the middle of the astrolabe that extends a shallow line of intricate shapes.
This instrument is the key to the ship's ability to float.
"Put the Hex Crystal in the groove in the middle of the astrolabe." Jeno said.
He was sure that the Ancients weren't using the Primordial Crystals to power the levitating devices, as the Shell Terrans weren't asleep yet. Hex's chest can prove that neither it nor its people, far from strife, have served the Shurima army, and live their own cave life without a fight.
Azir didn't tell him, but he guessed that the Shurima army had had the mages and their creations power the levitation device. Like the colossal golems in the tombs, eternal flames in the immortal furnace.
Camille took two steps forward, took out a crystal that glowed with a blue glow, embedded it in the groove, and the light immediately bloomed along the engraved line, filling the entire power compartment with light.
The ship trembled violently for a while, but both Jeno and Camille stood firm.
The energetic sound waves were caught by Jeno's ears, and the power core was activated, just like the engine was ignited, and the person sitting in the car could feel the tremors.
"I've always wondered, how many Primordial Crystals are still in the family?" Jeno plucked out his ears, which were a little uncomfortable, and asked casually.
He had always thought that there was not much left of the original crystal, but Camille could always take one out in his stride.
It's weird......
"This is the top secret of the family, you will know when you sit in my place." Camille turned and walked out of the capsule, the activated primordial crystal kept releasing the rhythm of energy, which had some effect on her Hex's heart, she felt that her heart rate was a little out of order, so she wisely stayed away from the power chamber, otherwise she would have symptoms similar to seasickness.
"Then I still don't know." Jeno pouted and followed.
After starting, the power compartment is completely shut down, because the gravity situation in the cabin is very complex when the unit is running. Only by limiting the scope of influence to the cabin can we ensure that gravity in the rest of the ship is as usual.
"Open a position!" Camille slid down the deck with a hook and shouted at the overseer.
One of the levers in the workshop was pushed to the ground, and the sound of gears snapping and twisting chains could be heard all over the walls.
A ray of sunlight fell from above, and Jeno looked up to see that the roof of the entire workshop was slowly opening towards the door.
Camille stood on the ground, nodding to Jeno on the deck.
It's time for a test flight.
There were sails hanging on the masts, but they were not deployed, and that was only for the spare drive to prepare for sea voyages, and the steering wheels on the aft deck floors were only used to control the angle of the sails.
Considering the possible effects of a thunderstorm, the actual control unit was set up in the captain's room, which was a shrunken astrolabe with a shape similar to that in the power compartment, allowing the power plant to be controlled remotely.
Because Hex can control other crystals remotely, Jeno can control the whole situation from the deck. The power plant was started remotely, the power input was increased, and the astrolabe was controlled to rotate repeatedly without being touched, and the height of the entire ship was gradually raised.
The tall mast was the first to peek out of the workshop, then to the upper deck, then to the entire hull. The sea breeze outside hung up, and the hull of the ship was almost unnoticeable, and Jeno breathed in the moist sea breeze and couldn't help but shout.
"Wuhu ~ take off!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that it was Lao Wuhu, and Jeno made a reassuring gesture to Camille, and then controlled the floating boat to fly higher.
The workers in the factory area were the first to discover the floating boat, and they were shrouded in a huge shadow, and they looked up in amazement, or were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
"Hello comrades! Comrades for your hard work! In a heroic mood, Jeno poked his head out of the deck and took the initiative to greet everyone who passed by, but alas, no one could catch his stalk.
In the area of the twin cities, such a UFO appeared, and the first to get the news was not the police, but the guardian god Jana.
She had been monitoring the air flow in both cities, and she could immediately detect the slightest abnormality.
"Who should I be, it turns out that you are making trouble again." Seeing that the ship was empty and only Jeno was alone, Cana did not shy away from appearing on the deck.
"Jana, you're here, welcome aboard." Jeno didn't see her, and he started talking to her.
As the god who controls the storm, Jeno also wants to invite Jana to his team.
"Are you on this boat? If you are not stable, I will move you to the sea. Floating on the deck, Cana looked around the hull before finally looking at Jeno.
As a deity born in the prayers of sailors, Cana has been involved in the entire history of sailing and is the most vocal navigator. However, when she saw the sails that had not yet been opened, she knew that the knowledge of navigation she had was not very applicable to this ship.
"Am I not fumbling? Hey. Jeno gently stroked the railing, carefully felt the slight tremor from the hull, and carried out remote debugging little by little. When Azir asked Nasus to give him the corner of the blueprint, he didn't go to great lengths to prepare a manual, but only gave him the general control method.
But this can only be used for reference, because the power core used by Jeno is the primordial crystal, not Shurima's black technology.
Cana couldn't help but roll her eyes, daring to love that this was a new car on the road.
In order to ensure the safety of the people on the ground, it seems that she can't leave for the time being, so as not to have any accidents. Although she was sure that Jeno had a remedy, she had to find a reason for herself to stay.
Because Jeno had been away for a while, she looked at him a few more times this time. Immediately, she noticed some subtle differences in Jeno's body, which even Orianna could not notice, only she could notice.
"Strange, how do you have the power of faith?"
"Did the power of your faith leak out to me? But I didn't give you a mission when I went to Demacia. Jeno was also at a loss, he himself could not see the so-called power of faith.
"No......" Jana subconsciously denied, and she could feel the incoherence in Jeno's words. Even if you help me on a mission, the power of faith will be gathered in me, not in you. So, there must be some cult that is spontaneously worshipping you heretic! ”
