Chapter 1 Death on the Air Boat

"Our airboat is about to take off, please sit tight and remember your seat belts!" a crisp female voice came from the PA device.

Xia Yu didn't dare to be sloppy, checked the emergency safety instructions again, and then closed his eyes slightly.

Airplanes!

A roar sounded, and then he felt the entire airship begin to climb rapidly, the huge force pressing his body tightly against the back of the chair, and the feeling of congestion in his mind hit him, a little strange, but also a new thrill and a hint of fear.

It is said that this empty ship is also a huge four-star mechanism, and it should use a four-star source crystal as an energy source, but for some reason, there is always a huge noise.

But it was this voice that reminded him that he was leaving Luo Tong.

The previous boarding manual reminded that the empty ship should sail at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and the normal navigation speed should be nearly 800 kilometers per hour, which can cross a city in almost an hour.

However, it still took nearly 2 days to reach the final destination of his voyage, Bailu City in Nantuo Prefecture, from Chongyanzhou in the north.

Finally, after nearly 10,000 meters away from the ground, the air boat stopped climbing, the roar gradually disappeared, and Xia Yu finally relaxed.

"Whew, that's exciting!" Suddenly, a voice on his right called out.

"Shhhh

In the end, he owed Song Qingyun a big favor again, he naturally didn't mind adding a little bit, Song Qingyun didn't ask who he was going to take, and directly sent someone to send them to the designated place to gather.

Without much talk, the two of them went directly to the airboat that was said to have not passed through Luo Tong once in the past ten years.

"Understood, understood!"

Moreau is really excited, this is a legendary air boat!

Just now he inquired, from Luo Tong to Bailu City in Nantuo Prefecture, the road fee alone costs 180,000 euros per person.

Fortunately, Xia Yu is a big money!

After confirming that Moro would not mess around, Xia Yu relaxed and began to adjust the orientation of the seat according to the prompts of a screen in the cabin, so that he had the extra energy to observe the flight cabin he was in.

Similar to the passenger planes made when they were on Earth, the upper deck of the flight capsule is mainly used to carry passengers, and it is said that there are three levels of cargo compartments below, and the most important role of this empty ship is also to transport goods over long distances.

Of course, an empty ship is worth a lot of money, and it costs expensive 4-star source crystals, which is not something that ordinary chambers of commerce or forces can afford.

According to the previous understanding, the price of 1 4-star source crystal in the market is roughly 10 million euros, of course, this price is generally priced in krona, but it also costs 10,000 kroner, which can basically buy a standard 3-star organ.

And for such a voyage, the 4-star source crystals consumed are calculated in hundreds!

Not to mention, the cost of this kind of air boat itself is astronomical, and only by using various precious materials can it be possible to withstand the wind of nearly 10,000 meters of space.

It's just that, a little different from what he thought, this empty aircraft does not have the beautiful appearance of the earth plane, the bare metal body on the bulkhead is not covered, and some occlusal gears and pipes in the pipes can be seen.

Even if you smell it carefully, you can even smell the smell of engine oil in the air.

Okay, it's a bit more steampunk, and it's quite flavorful when you get used to it.

And this behemoth's air boat is not an earth's plane after all, and after a while, the moving prompt sounded again: "Hello everyone, our air boat has stabilized in the air at 8280 meters, and is currently in the stage of constant speed. Once again, please do not trespass in the places marked on the boat where passengers are not allowed to travel!"

"Xia Yu, you don't seem to be very excited!" Mo Luo was the first to stand up when he heard that he could unbuckle his seat belt, and his eyes swept around.

What's so exciting about this, it's not that a spaceship can pass through a wormhole, it's just a large plane after all.

However, it can also be seen from this that even if there is active energy and perception, the highest level of technology in the world of the mechanism should be limited to the interior of the planet.

"Don't run around, there's a garrison in this empty boat!" he reminded.

"It's not just the garrison!" Before Xia Yu's voice fell, a young man who looked to be the same seventeen or eighteen years old interjected: "Do you know why the air carrier has to rise to an altitude of 8,000 meters and fly in this wind?"

"yes, why?" said Moreau.

"Because of the forbidden area in the air, below this altitude, it is basically the territory of all kinds of flying fierce beasts, only when it reaches the Gangfeng area above 8,000 meters, the flying fierce beasts are greatly reduced, but there are also some special races that can adapt to the Gangfeng, so there are not only garrisons on any air boat, but also at least 3 4-star monks!" the young man said with awe.

"4-star monks, will they do this bodyguard-like job?" Morrow looked puzzled.

"! How is this a bodyguard? The 4-star monk is also going out of the house, besides, our 'Tianyan' is an air vessel directly under the Song family, and it is sympathetic to us apprentices who are studying abroad, especially detours to many cities! Speaking of this big brother, which academy are you from?"

"Academy?" Morrow looked at Xia Yu.

"Ahem, we came up with Orr. ”

That's right, it's impossible for Song Qingyun to say hello alone for this little thing, Xia Yu did come up with 360,000 euros for the journey.

"Oh, that's it!" the young man's face turned arrogant, and he seemed to be interested in conversation, and turned away.

Seems to be despised?

Xia Yu touched his head, and listened carefully to the conversation of several people next to him, only to know that in addition to the money they uploaded, nearly half of the empty ship was born in Chong Yanzhou and studied in colleges in various big cities, no wonder most of the people around him were so young.

Forget it, what do you want to do so much!

He inquired, because he had to cross 4 states, and there were many cities in between, and it would take 4 days to finally reach Bailu City.

He didn't want to waste this time, at least he could read a few more periodicals left by Master Qu, so he greeted Moreau and asked him to go around the leisure area at will, and came to the luggage storage room alone.

Compared to Xiaokuang Town to Luo Tong, his luggage this time is a lot more.

In addition to some organs and instruments that can be handled, he also has some mechanisms and materials to bring.

Of course, it is more of the precious books left by Master Qu and some research drafts, precious materials, etc.

These were all put away by him, and after arriving in Nantuo Prefecture, he was ready to go to Peng Yuecheng, which is adjacent to Bailu City-Qu Shi's only relative in the world, his daughter taught in Luge Academy, although the father and daughter had a very stiff quarrel, but Xia Yu, as a disciple, still wanted to send Qu Shi's relics to her.

Speaking of which, Luge Academy is also one of the Big Five, and Master Qu's daughter can teach there, so the level of skill should be quite good, I don't know why the father and daughter have not been in contact for many years.

The luggage storage area is in a corner of this level, and the narrow passage is full of people.

Xia Yu walked through the crowd to the storage cabinet that he had rented with a lot of extra money, thought about it, and took out a few unopened copies of "Popular Mechanism", as well as a manuscript of Master Qu.

Just as he was about to turn around and return to his seat, his feet suddenly trembled violently, and the entire airship trembled violently!

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

A rapid alarm sounded throughout the flight capsule, and then the entire capsule tilted sharply.

Xia Yu held the journal in his hand, and in a hurry he didn't grasp the nearest handrail, and the unsteady foot suddenly slipped outward along the sloping ground.

He was frightened in his heart, and rushed to the side with all his strength to stop first, but he didn't want to be installed in a movable hatch, and suddenly the whole person fell into an empty warehouse, and there was nothing to borrow in mid-air.

"Bang!"

His body hit the ground hard, but he was still rolling on the other side.

Eventually, his body was more flexible and more resistant to blows, and this time he grabbed a metal railing with the help of an incline and stopped on the ground that was almost over 60 degrees sloping.

"Whew, what's going on!"

His heart was amazed, and he struggled to sit up, ready to take a look around him.

"Ah, save me......!"

Suddenly, a childish, crisp voice came from the air, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a little girl who had also fallen through the hatch where he had fallen.

Dangerous!

This floor is made of alloy steel!

Seeing that the little girl was struggling and didn't know how to adjust her body at all, he slammed his strength upward, and he was able to hug the little girl.

Suddenly, both of them lost their support and slid down the floor that was still sloping at an accelerated pace!
