Volume 10 Zion, the first capital of the world 102 The meeting ceremony of chickens and dogs 01
On the fourth day, the sky was clear, and even the heavy snow that had been falling for a long time stopped. Looking from afar, I saw the snow in the near distance, and the ice peaks in the distance, reflecting a layer of colorful glow under the reflection of the sun, which was really beautiful.
According to Xu Zheng's words, Cézanne did not make any big moves to welcome, welcome, and welcome again, but only built a temporary platform out of wood outside the imperial capital to provide airship lifting.
The advantage of this is to express to the people of the imperial capital a normal heart to welcome foreign races, to be friendly and harmonious, not to be grand, just like welcoming friends who have not seen each other for a while, warm and calm is enough. In doing so, it will reduce the psychological backlash of the people as much as possible, similar to using actions to tell everyone: Look, in fact, this is nothing, just a distant friend to visit.
That being said, in fact, from the beginning of the construction of the platform at night, there were many onlookers. The guards wanted to expel them, but Cézanne and Xu Zheng stopped them, and only sent guards to form a human wall, separating the crowd from a distance, and still letting them watch.
The fact is often that the more you don't let it be seen, the more you keep it mysterious, the more likely it is to arouse people's random suspicion and cause undesirable consequences. On the contrary, the more open you are and make the whole thing transparent, the easier it is to win hearts and minds. Anyway, there is nothing disgraceful about the whole thing, I love to watch it, I love to go, just as a celebration program before the end of the year.
So Cézanne not only did not stop the onlookers, but let the guards maintain order, and the onlookers could bring their own small benches and watch whatever they liked, as long as they didn't mess around.
This inevitably reminds Xu Zheng of the era when he watched open-air movies a long time ago, and people were also so messy that they had moved a small bench to occupy a place to watch movies. However, the psychology of the people is so strange, the more openly they let themselves watch casually, the order has become better, everyone is very well-behaved, and one by one honestly dragged their mothers to watch.
The weather was indeed good, but no matter how good the weather was, it was still cold because it was in the cold winter. Xu Zheng looked at it with great eyes, and saw a black head outside the human wall formed by the guards, and many people were looking for a warm palm in their palms, or covering their ears and stomping their feet to warm themselves.
Xu Zheng waited for a long time, but he was really a little anxious, and he couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, there was a lot of snow, and the airship was a means of flying transportation, not that Xu Zheng liked to curse those guys, with the carelessness of those dwarfs, coupled with the bad weather, maybe there would be a traffic accident or something......
Cézanne was obviously also thinking about this problem, and when people were not paying attention, he turned sideways and whispered to Xu Zheng: "There won't be any accidents, right?" I heard Bruce say that the airship once fell into the sea during the test flight. ”
Xu Zheng's face darkened, and when he was about to speak, Bruce had already said, "No problem." Those gnomes are usually careless, but when they come across something related to the technology they have learned, they are very serious, and I don't think anything will go wrong. ”
"Really?" said Cézanne, skeptical.
In fact, Xu Zheng himself also felt that Bruce's words were very suspicious, and those dwarf dwarfs were bad habits for doing things, which was a lesson from the past. The first time I met the dwarf, it was because of a crash of Lingmei's flying machine, and it fell headlong on Mark. For the third time they met, a few little things dared to use homemade earthen parachutes to perform high-altitude skydiving, and there was an incident of littering poison gas cylinders in the Xiaohu hijacking incident, and to be honest, Xu Zheng couldn't think of anything that these bold guys didn't dare to do. Let's hope they don't do anything this time. At present, although the situation is deliberately not so grand, the actual situation is the same as the meeting between the two heads of state......
While he was speculating wildly, he suddenly heard a sharp-eyed guard shouting, "Report!
Xu Zheng's heart perked up, and he hurriedly looked at the sky where he was pointing.
Sure enough, a small black dot had already appeared there, and judging by its trajectory, it was flying straight towards this side.
Xu Zheng only flickered for a moment, and saw that the small black dot had quickly enlarged and turned into a small black cake.
It's not right, according to the original plan, it should be a slow flight over without causing panic and psychological pressure. The speed of flying slowly should be between 5 and 8 kilometers per hour, which is close to the speed of walking, how can you fly so fast? It's like rushing to reincarnation.
Xu Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Bruce, just in time to see Bruce turn his face to look at himself with a puzzled face. The two looked at each other and thought of the same question: He's ***!
couldn't care so much at the moment, Xu Zheng jumped up like a burning buttocks, and shouted: "Fire security team!"
There is no such thing as firefighters in the Otherworldly Aris Continent, only city guards, and they are not responsible for fire prevention tasks. Before Dane left the imperial capital to go to the free time, he absorbed the content of the letter sent back by Bruce from Orson Manor, and established the same fire and security team in the imperial capital Zion as Orson Manor, and the guards who formed it were patrolled in groups of four, shouldering both firefighting and law and order work. Like the city guards of the ancient Roman Empire, they always patrol the streets, looking for unstable factors to come out and rectify them, and their work includes fire prevention, theft prevention, and dealing with general civil disputes. At the same time, their equipment is not only equipped with conventional weapons and armor, but also some medium-sized equipment that can be used at any time.
I didn't know enough about the rotten Cézanne of the bastards at Orson Manor, and I was still asking blankly, "What's wrong?"
Bruce threw him a binocular, grabbed Jimmy and rushed in the direction of the palace.
Jimmy immediately knew that something was wrong, grabbed Bruce with his backhand, and shouted, "Cousin, don't worry!" As soon as this person was in a hurry, His Royal Highness the Prince stopped shouting in public, and called his cousin directly.
"I'm not in a hurry, why am I not in a hurry!" Bruce looked angry, "None of the people in Orson Manor are worry-free." I said on the phone last night, I'll give me the whole thing today!"
At that moment, Cézanne had just lifted the telescope to his eyes. He hadn't used this item before, and the first time he used it, he got it reversed. After looking at it for a long time, he was also shrewd, and immediately turned upside down and looked at it. When he saw it, he couldn't help but cry out, "Ahh
Xu Zheng was hurriedly directing the fire and security team, asking them to drag the emergency water truck over and install the high-pressure faucet that had just been studied, when he heard Cézanne screaming and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cézanne looked over the telescope and looked at the airship, only to see in the distance, the smoke billowed from the airship, and he could not even see the appearance of the airship in the clouds, but could only see a large body dragging the smoke towards this side with a rapid momentum.
"Oops, awful!" chou Cézanne, "something has happened!"
When that little black dot turned into a small black cake at an abnormal speed, Xu Zheng already realized that something was wrong. It seems that his ominous premonition has come true, and a good meeting has turned into a farce.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Zheng didn't bring a telescope, and the only one had been thrown to Cézanne by Bruce.
Cézanne nervously looked out with his binoculars, and saw that he was reporting on the current situation.
"It seems to be on fire. The smoke was loud, and the speed didn't seem to be normal, like ...... A bird that has been shot and is falling down!"
No, the airship used helium, not hydrogen, and it shouldn't have been ignited. Why is there smoke billowing out?
Thinking like this in his heart, he still kept calling the fire security team to equip the fire to extinguish the fire.
Xu Zheng and Cézanne's conversation was also heard by Bruce and Jimmy. Both of them were members of the early test flight of the airship at Orson Manor, so they naturally knew what to do in case of an accident. The two of them greeted each other, and at the same time they got on their griffon mounts, and each of them sped away in one direction. Bruce goes to transfer the team of magicians, and Jimmy goes to transfer the Imperial Capital Flying Group, and has the Imperial Capital Flying Team quickly bring a large number of sandbags in case the airship falls.
At this time, the onlookers who also had eyes saw that there was something wrong with the flying aircraft. At first, everyone thought that this was a celebration of the lively performance, but then they really saw the problem. The performance is not so realistic, is it? It's just a play of life, and it doesn't look like a performance at all.
When it flew closer, everyone could already see that there was not just one, but two airships. The distance between them was about fifty meters, the former was better, the latter was completely covered by smoke, and the light of the fire was faintly visible, and several feet of flame erupted from each other.
"Ahh
At this distance, Xu Zheng could also see the fire above, worried about the safety of his relatives and friends above, and didn't care about thinking about whether the helium was on fire or not, so he only shouted to Cézanne urgently: "Uncle Huang, give me an order to use it!"
Cézanne didn't say a word, he continued to observe the airship with a telescope in one hand, and took out a magic crystal order board from his arms with the other, and threw it to Xu Zheng without looking at it, shouting: "From now on, everything is under the command of the second prince!"
Xu Zheng took what Cézanne threw over, raised it in his hand, and shouted: "Guards on the defensive, let the onlookers take another hundred steps back." ”
The incident happened suddenly, and anyone could see that something was really wrong on the airship that flew over. Therefore, as soon as the guards moved, all the onlookers cooperated, and the large and larger field was vacated.
