The Hope sails out of port.

It will go straight up the Snow River, making some supplies for the towns along the way until it reaches the end of Snow River City.

The artillery, gunpowder, and cannonballs on the ship were enough for another large-scale battle in Snow River City.

At the same time, the wounded will also return with the Hope.

Without the steam engine, the Hope would not have been able to do this.

Technology has revolutionized this war.

And Luden's mind is no longer focused on the gains and losses of one city and one place.

After the departure of the Hope, while consolidating the defenses, Ludon accelerated the progress of the renovation of the second steamship, and at the same time went into the small black room, studied the goblins and captured orcs, and did various experiments.

For several days in a row, the wind was calm and nothing happened.

After filling their stomachs, orcs have good wisdom, even ordinary animals, they can know how to avoid evil.

The orcs who have been educated by artillery in Snow River City will not take the initiative to provoke Snow Valley Town, which has heavy firepower.

For the orcs, it is enough to fill their stomachs, and as for what to fill with, they don't care.

In this comfortable atmosphere, even the tension in Snow Valley Town was blown down a little.

On this day, Ludon had just finished the experiment, took a cold shower, and washed away the smell of blood on his body.

Justice Envy leaned back in her chair and asked casually,

"What did you come up with?"

She cared less about the war and more about what Luton was doing.

Ludon asked rhetorically,

"Someone has captured orcs for research before, but what happened?"

"No results."

Justice Enwei looked serious and said solemnly,

"Orcs may be creatures with a strong sense of honor, and when they are captured, they will not say anything, they will only attack everything around them like crazy, without eating or drinking, until they die..."

In fact, there are many ways to capture orcs.

Whether it's a trap, a poison, or even a dozen warriors rushing up...

These captured orcs were able to maintain normal at first, although they could not communicate, but they would still eat if they were given food and water.

When the bell rang for the high platform, the orcs were like crazy.

They want to escape from their prison and refuse to stay in the land for a moment.

Luton was dismissive of Justice Envy's claims.

"Glory belongs to intelligent creatures, and wild dogs have no sense of glory."

After all, the Wild Dog Leader would not trick the Wild Dogs into going to die for the sake of the collective.

The question of where the sense of honor comes from is a complex one.

However, Ludon is well aware that this is a spiritual placebo.

It can belong to dwarves, it can belong to humans, it can belong to elves.

The only thing that doesn't belong to the mad orcs.

Taking a step back, even if an orc really has a sense of honor, it is impossible for every orc to be iron-clad and not eat what comes to them.

Orcs are not yet allowed to have traitors?

Other words... The orc's performance was not voluntary, but was disturbed by something!

Combined with the Goblins' performance, Ludon has been able to draw basic conclusions.

On the high platform, all over the Divine State, there should still be some 'Legacy of the Qiyun Kingdom' in operation.

These legacies serve only one purpose – to protect humanity from being devoured by the tide of beasts.

The way to protect humanity is also simple:...

These facilities emit a sound wave that is inaudible to the human ear, audible to orcs, and can be extremely irritable and painful under the influence of sound waves!

In order to escape the sound waves, they hide in the snowfields of the north all year round and exile themselves.

The bell ringing of the high platform is the stage when the corresponding facility enters the stage of self-maintenance, which requires regular maintenance and maintenance...

The orcs took advantage of this gap to plunder south.

Energy supply?

Most of it is solar.

Nuclear energy... Unlikely.

As for equipment that hasn't broken for 800 years?

Ludon wasn't surprised by this.

The direction of technological development in the Qiyun Kingdom is obviously problematic.

Moreover, for some reason, the empress has an almost pathological pursuit of the operating period of scientific and technological products, the shelf life of drugs, and so on in a specific period.

Externally, the Empress claims to be developed for interstellar travel.

The biggest enemy of long interstellar travel is time, and this excuse is irrefutable.

Obviously, interstellar travel ultimately failed.

Before humanity could get out of this galaxy, it couldn't wait to destroy itself first.

Of course, that's not what Ludon needs to worry about right now.

He only had a rough guess, and as for whether the truth of the matter was really the case, further verification was needed.

Today, several goblins accidentally deaf themselves while playing.

If they waited until the bell rang again, they would still be able to keep their senses.

Then, Ludon's conjecture can be verified.

And, no matter what the orcs are afraid of.

It is not difficult for Ludon to conclude that:

When the bell rings again, the tide will flee back to the northern ice fields.

At this time, if Snow River City takes the initiative to attack, with the two-sided attack of Nice Castle, it can inflict a devastating blow on the orcs!

To this extent, Ponge alone can't do it.

Ludon must also be on the battlefield ...

However, both steamships had already departed, and ordinary ships could not go up the river quickly.

As for the horses... Now the outside is all orc territory, and riding out on horseback is equivalent to Meituan's takeout and home delivery.

How to get to Snow River City?

Is it possible that you can still put on wings and fly over?

In this regard, Luden has its own arrangements.

He finished sorting out the materials in his hand and began to make the final preparations before the launch.

...

A few more days passed, and the wind was beautiful and the sky was cloudless.

Lutdon invited Justice Envy to travel with him.

As he walked down the road, Ludon said something for no reason.

"The wind is good today."

Wind?

Justice Envy is a little confused, what does it have to do with the direction of the wind?

While the two were talking, a young man in a white coat approached, followed by a trembling steward.

Jeff chattered in Ryan's ear as he walked,

"Young master, I beg you, but don't go crazy... Don't..."

Jeff couldn't be more nervous.

As a member of the Inquisition, Jeff knew exactly what the word 'Luden' meant.

Half of the people in the Inquisition demanded that the wicked creature be hanged.

The other half demanded that Ludon be put on the altar and reincarnated as a saint.

In any case, Luden, one of the Big Three, is now the most powerful person in the Divine State, and there is not even one more to be added. …

The feud between Ryan and Luden...

In a sentence or two, it's hard to say.

Jeff knows that the seed called hatred has taken root in Ryan's heart and grown into a poisonous snake hidden in the darkest corners...

Ryan nodded impatiently and said perfunctorily,

"I ate apples today, two!"

"Everyone is here, let's go!"

After Ryan and the others arrived, Luden didn't talk nonsense, and directly led the three of them to a clearing.

In the clearing, a 'huge' monster appeared!

Bags made of cloth bulge and float in the air.

And under the bag, a platform like a stove is burning, and there is a hanging basket hanging under the bag...

"Get acquainted, this thing is called a hot air balloon, let's take this to Snow River City."

As Lu Deng introduced, he stepped forward and greeted everyone.

"Ready to go."

Going to Snow River City?!

Justice Enwei never expected that the outing that Luden said turned out to be this?!

For the strange and exciting journey, Justice Envy has no ability to refuse.

Most importantly, she believes, Luden doesn't want to hang up yet.

Jumping into the hanging basket, Ludon reached out and picked up Justice Envy as well, followed by Ryan and Jeff in charge.

There were four passengers in total, all of whom were placed in the gondola.

At his command, the people untied the ropes holding the balloon in place, while Ludon threw the sandbags from the baskets.

The rest of the people, clutching the edge of the hanging basket with both hands, felt the shaking under their feet, and their faces gradually turned pale as the height climbed little by little.

Only Ryan was laughing, laughing.

When he took off, a gust of wind blew his white coat away, and he was now dressed in black and white stripes, crying and laughing, like a madman.

Ludon controlled the heat while keeping the balloon balanced.

The take-off process went much smoother than expected.

The hot air balloon gradually stabilized, and Ludon maintained the wings on both sides and adjusted the direction of travel.

He took the time to turn around and comfort the rest of the passengers,

"Don't be afraid, we brought enough fuel, food, water. If you're lucky, you'll be in the next town in three hours! ”

Ludon, of course, didn't expect to fly to Snowy River City in one go.

After a year of experimentation, the safety of the hot air balloon is reliable, but the battery life is always a big problem.

During the flight, you need to replenish fuel, water, food, people also need convenience, sleep, and flying at night is too dangerous.

Lu Deng's plan, from the very beginning, was to supply along the way, along the Snow River, this trip to the town has Lu Deng's pre-arranged supply points,

Half a year ago, there were already hot air balloons flying on this route.

A total of 12 trial operations were conducted, six of which crashed, but only two were casual.

The flight altitude of a hot air balloon is not very high, and as long as it is operated properly, even if it crashes, it can ensure the safety of passengers.

Justice Envy smiled excitedly,

Life soars high in the sky, and the slightest carelessness will fall to pieces.

She had never felt this kind of stimulation.

Justice Envy was so excited that she had trouble breathing.

"What if it crashes?" she asked. ”

Justice Envy was confident that Luton would not be joking with his own life.

Luden said confidently,

"I brought a parachute!"

Although the crowd does not know what a parachute means,

However, listening to Luden, as long as there is a parachute, he will not fall to his death.

Justice Envy's face softened a lot.

Just because she loves excitement doesn't mean she doesn't value her life.

In relative safety, pursue maximum stimulation.

Justice Envy looked down, and everything was getting smaller.

They're really flying!

Looking at the sky above him, Ryan believed that he was the highest madman in the Divine State.

A madman who is still alive.

Thinking of this, Ryan laughed even louder.

This laughter is somewhat arrogant.

Ludon said quietly,

"I only brought two sets of parachutes."

In the hanging basket... There were four of them.

The laughter came to an abrupt end. . .
