Chapter 518: Flying Heaven
The wind was howling and the snow was falling, and Al looked up at the sky as if it had been painted with oil paint, and the leaden darkness revealed a touch of pale whiteness.
He looked at the strange shape of the flying machine that was placed on the side, like a fat bird, and always felt that something was wrong.
"It's ugly, it's ugly. He shook his head and muttered to himself.
But then his head was pushed again, "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, as long as you can fly." Medea's voice came from her ears.
Al sighed sadly, "I've really embarrassed the traversers, and I went to great lengths to make such an ugly bastard." ", he thought to himself.
Al originally wanted to make this kind of flying machine in the shape of an airplane on Earth, but when he actually made it, he realized that the long body of the airplane was not necessary at all. To put it bluntly, the aircraft he made is not an "airplane" at all, it can only be regarded as a special glider, or it can only glide in the air by relying on the wind, and there is no power like an airplane at all, nor does it have all kinds of complex machinery and equipment.
Because of this, in order to reduce weight and wind resistance, he shortened the fuselage greatly, so it became the same short and fat appearance as it is now, how awkward Al looked.
"Alright, it's almost time, let's start planning. Medea said with some excitement.
Al frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Why don't you change someone?" Although there have been many experiments, it still can't guarantee safety, in case ......."
Medea interrupted Al, "Don't be a mother-in-law, I'm the most suitable person to think about it." If there is an accident, no one else will even have a chance of surviving, and I will be able to dance the air and ensure my own safety. ”
"Besides......", Medea's eyes flashed with essence, it was a thirst for exploring the unknown, "to explore the whole picture of Atlantis from the air, how could I miss such a great opportunity!"
Al sighed, knowing that there was nothing wrong with Medea, "Then you will take precautions." Medea nodded, but she immediately frowned, "Do you really want to wear that kind of weird-looking clothes?" It's ugly and uncomfortable, and it's suffocating to wear." ”
"Just in case, that's a must. At the urging of Al, Medea was a little reluctant to put on the specially made, extremely fat "protective suit" of El, and Al hurried to advise: "This protective suit is filled with cotton, in case it really lands, it can play a cushioning role." There is a knot on your back, you have also tried that, in case the aircraft has a problem in the air, you directly pull the knot, there will be a large ball of bound coarse cloth scattered, that is the parachute, and with your air dance, you should be able to land safely. ”
After speaking, he stuffed the long, narrow, arrow-like thing into Medea's hand, "This is a special arrow for the army, after my transformation, it is stuffed with gunpowder, as long as it is ignited with fire magic, it can fly into the sky and send a signal, so that we can determine your location, so that we can carry out rescue." ”
Then he handed Medea a very large mass of rope, "Tie them around your waist, and the other end in my hand, so that in case of an accident, I can find your way through this rope." ”
"Is this rope long enough?"
"Don't worry, I asked my father to launch the entire Thorn Castle, and I finally got out of it. It is mixed with beef tendon and woven with the three-strand method, which is absolutely firm and reliable. So much beef tendon has been used in the army's inventory, and I will return it to the army after the experiment. ”
"It's really troublesome. Medea grumbled, but she also knew that her life was at stake, and she was sloppy, and with the help of El, she finally clumsily prepared everything.
"It's heavy. Medea jumped on the spot, "Didn't you say you wanted to reduce the weight?"
"That's not as important as your life. Al replied, and then he led Medea to the side of the aircraft, "There is a joystick in the aircraft, you have also tried, you can control the sails behind it left and right, and change the Fangxi where the aircraft flies. ”
"However, the environment here is really harsh, the wind direction is unpredictable, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to rely on this sail alone, so we tied four long ropes on the two wings, and we pulled them underneath to control Fangxi. ”
"But in this way, isn't it easier for this aircraft to fall apart if it is pulled around?"
"That's why so many protective measures are used. Al was a little uneasy, he knew that the woman in front of him would dare to do anything for the sake of experimentation and to satisfy his curiosity. He told again: "If the experiment fails, you can do it again next time, but there is only one life, and you must not be careless." If you see that the momentum is not right, then decisively abandon this aircraft and parachute! You have also done relevant training, in short, your own safety is the most important. ”
Medea nodded, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily until I see the scenery behind that door." With that, she got into the flying machine.
Al took a deep breath and shouted, "Go!"
With his order, guarding the long dragon carriage behind him, the elite soldiers drawn from the Western Frontier Army began to get busy. They quickly unloaded the sacks inside the wagon, spreading some of them at breakneck speed.
Then several strong men surrounded the aircraft and carefully lifted it up to stand on the sacks, and then the soldiers spread another layer of sacks, and then they carried the aircraft up another layer.
Using this method of raising layer by layer, the soldiers stacked the sacks into a hill, and the flying machine was also carried to the "mountain"!
Al stood on the hill, looking down from above, he could vaguely see the general shape of a large dense forest, "Unfortunately, if this dense forest is too big, and it is too dangerous to build a ladder in this environment, otherwise there is really no need to use the method of flying into the sky." ", he thought to himself.
The sack was covered with snow, like a white cloth, to facilitate the glide of the aircraft.
Al looked down again, estimating the direction of the wind, "That's it!", he shouted to Levi, Pandan Grass, and Saruman behind him.
For this experiment, Al Ke brought in some of the most powerful mages around him.
As the three of them released their magic, the surrounding elements seemed to be absorbed by a black hole, and they continued to gather and line up towards the "hill" at a very fast speed, and then the wind roared!
"Fly!", in the midst of everyone's exclamations, the flying machine, which looked like a fat duck, swayed a few times and flew into the sky with a strong wind.
