After making sure that everything was ready, Lin made some changes to Fin's airship control procedures, as the next was an unconventional tactical maneuver.

When the airship descended to an altitude of 9,000 meters, it no longer continued to decrease, but it still had a speed of about 350 kilometers per hour. At this speed, letting Sid land directly would only end up destroying the plane and killing people.

So Lin suddenly pulled the rudder back, and the nose of the machine was quickly raised, and everyone sitting in it had a feeling of being thrown behind their heads, and finally the elevation angle was as high as 110 degrees. Although there was no similar experience, everyone had the same feeling, maybe sitting on a trebuchet and being thrown out, that was what it felt.

And under the action of inertia, and there was no other external force to intervene, the Sid stood upright and flew forward with its belly. This is the classic flight maneuver of an Earth fighter, the Pugachev Cobra maneuver.

If you want to reduce the speed of the aircraft suddenly, what is more efficient than using the largest part of the body to increase the wind resistance.

What's more, on Earth, some fighter jets can't do such maneuvers because they are afraid that the plane will stall and then fall. This problem was not a problem for the Sid, because the airship had a different source of buoyancy than the Earth's aircraft, and was not afraid of stalling and falling.

Sitting in a sitting position, actually lying down, heading in the direction of the buttocks, this kind of weird experience is something that no one else has ever experienced. In fact, there have been countless firsts since the time I got into this airship. So as weird as it feels, everyone has been trained to the point where it's not weird.

Minutes and seconds passed, and everyone maintained a strange posture and waited with bated breath. During this period, Kaya only reported once every ten kilometers per hour, and it seemed like a lifetime of time. But when the data of 20 kilometers per hour was reported, there was no movement for a long time.

Sitting in the driver's seat, you can directly see the data of the dashboard, and you have the most intuitive feeling of the speed reduction. When the hull is upright, the speed drops sharply after the wind resistance area increases. However, the lower the speed, the slower the deceleration. Until it is maintained at a speed of 17 kilometers per hour, it does not drop again, and this is also the wind speed outside.

It seems unlikely that we can count on a drop to zero. Lin tried to return to the attitude of horizontal flight, but no matter how the rudder was pulled, the hull did not react, and even the elevation angle increased, and it looked like it was about to roll backwards.

It wasn't until someone pushed the throttle a notch forward and the Sid regained some momentum that it was able to change out, straighten the hull, and return to horizontal flight. Lin then retracted the throttle valve, allowing the engine to idle and move slowly. At the same time, it adjusted its direction and flew in a straight line towards the city of Aladan, which further reduced the speed of the airship to a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand, because the direction facing Abadan is not downwind, and the propellers driven by the engine at idle state can only get forward power, so the speed will not increase but decrease. At the same time, what was originally only a two-minute journey has been stretched to nearly an hour. This is because the speed is reduced too low.

The first throttle valve was retracted again, reducing the altitude of Sid to the range of altitude that a normal airship could fly, which was between 800 and 7,000 meters. Lin chose to sail steadily at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and everyone also loosened themselves from their seats and got up and moved casually. Totokani stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to speed up a little more?" It seems like a bit of a waste of time to float by like this now. ”

After fixing the rudder, Lin smiled: "No, it's too troublesome to slow down." If you accelerate now, you will have to worry about slowing down when you get to Aladan. At this speed, it would be good to find a position and land directly when the time comes. An hour was fine. ”

Totokani shrugged noncommittally. For him, the journey, which was supposed to be two to three days, was shortened to about two hours, which was already an incredible speed. Waiting for that hour is not a big deal. That is, looking at the speed that is no different from drifting now, he just asked more.

Now that you've made up your mind to float over, there's no trouble going on, just take some time. And during this extra time, Lin asked everyone to check the condition of the airship again. Look at the cobra's maneuvering flight maneuver and see if it left any damage to the airship. It is not for nothing that only some fighters on Earth can do such maneuvers.

In addition, it is necessary to summarize the problems found on this flight and consider the deceleration device. Equip the engine with a gearbox and realize the possibility of reversing is one of them; Another thing Lin thought of was the parachute that would be used by some fighter jets imitating the earth with a short runway. Another major project is to integrate the thrust and buoyancy equipment to achieve a more flexible maneuver.

Now the Sid, level flight to level flight, elevation to elevation, the control of the two is separate. In this way, there will be a lot of tactical flight maneuvers that cannot be used. For example, the Inmaiman maneuver, the barrel rolling maneuver, etc. Love books

Although the Sid is positioned as a civilian fighter and not a military fighter that requires dogfighting capabilities. But after the experience of being chased by the Thunder Falcon once, who knows if the next time you will be able to escape from the strange skills of the Warcraft just by relying on speed. If you don't plan to equip the Sid with weapons, then the methods used to escape will have to be perfected as much as possible.

However, for the time being, you can only make plans, and the materials you need will need to be purchased separately.

Repairing the Sid in the Jura Mountains almost depleted the magic materials that someone had brought with them. There are parts that don't even need to be of that good grade, but there are no other alternative materials around. In order to survive, I can't care about waste. All that remains is a very small number of rare materials.

During this period when the Sid was drifting to the city of Abadan, the group also saw many airships flying past the Sid. An airship with an ordinary ship-type structure, seeing the strange-looking Sid, a group of sailors pointing on the deck. Even if you can't hear the voice, you can still feel their banter from their body movements and expressions.

Just like that, looking at a group of people with mocking expressions and walking away, Lin and the others surprisingly did not have any displeased reaction. That feeling is like the loneliness of a master, why bother with a low hand. Even the Thunder Falcon pursued, and he could throw it so that he couldn't see the taillights, and it really didn't make sense to worry about speed with others.

In the midst of discussions to revise the defects of the Sid, the figure of a city rises from the other side of the horizon. It's not huge, but its skies are quite busy. Airships of all kinds float in the air around the city, like an exposition. Far livelier than the town where the group had set out, Waikato on the other side of the Jura Mountains.

If there is a characteristic, the city is quite dynamic under the backdrop of every airship that comes in and out. And because the time when someone arrived in Abadan was only close to noon, many airships were just taking off and were just about to leave. The number of airships ready to leave is also more than the number of arrivals.

Because there are quite a lot of airships coming and going, the sky of Abadan is in a chaotic and orderly state. There is no fairway, no tower to give orders, everyone can come and go whenever they want, and in this chaos, there are no airships colliding together.

For the crossers who are accustomed to being commanded by traffic lights, this kind of traffic rules that rely on mood and tacit understanding cannot be adapted. So Lin got up from the driver's seat and gave way to Totokani. For the transportation at will, leave it to an experienced person.

The goblins lived up to their expectations, finding a place to anchor in the midst of a seemingly chaotic scene, and without any guidance. The Sid, which had lowered its landing gear, also rested firmly at this mooring. Although the goblin's landing method was a bit rude, it finally landed safely and no one was injured.

After landing safely, a group of people planned to leave the airship and enter the city. Only the goblin father and daughter were so anxious that they seemed to be in a hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything. A certain crosser who had also taken a plane out of the country on Earth, and after stopping the crowd first, he asked Totokani. "Is there any next formality that we should do?"

"Your Excellency, we should open the hatch and stay in the airship while waiting for the Administrator to collect the taxes. After collecting the taxes, we can go into the city. The goblin said with a slight panic.

Well, it should be said that it is not surprising at all. In line with the principle of entering the country and following customs, Lin did not plan to do whatever he wanted, but asked everyone to stay in the airship and wait first. At the same time, let Kaya go and take out a few bags of money first, there are large bags, small bags and change, depending on the situation, which bag to take out the coins and pay taxes. This is also to avoid opening that cash box, which is too eye-catching. This is the way of self-preservation for the little people, so thought some unconscious man.

At the same time, Totokani also asked his daughter Polly to find the guide to the city of Abadan. Although the thing is broken, as long as the handwriting on it is still clear, it can be used as a certificate.

But the point of what one thinks is that it won't be long before the tax collector is on board. I remember that when I descended, Lin Ke had confirmed the landing location, and it was some distance from the management office hut that the goblin said. The fact that they were able to show up so quickly can only be said that the people in charge of collecting taxes are really very active.

Only two people appeared, one standing outside the hatch. Another slightly rich human fat man walked in with a big belly. He saw the goblin coming up at him at a glance and said, "Oh, it's you, Totokani." What about your original airship, how did you change it to the current Sid? ”

"Lord Hassan, these things are a long story." The goblin rubbed his hands lewdly and said.
