Chapter 1537: Liftoff

"Would you like to join up with other airships on the same mission?"

"No, I've talked to the other captains. The area allocated by everyone is different, and there are several flight passages through the mountains, so there will be no such formalism. Every man is in charge of his own, and those above only need accurate information. ”

"The principle of contact with the ground?"

"If you can't touch, you don't touch. Even if the prior intelligence on the forum has doubts, can we face to face distinguish whether the other party is a liar or not? If the besieged area is in a state of chaos, then rash contact will only put us in crisis. So it's still observation-based. Besides, the amount of rescue can be limited, what if it can't be saved in the first place? We are not in a position to commit to anything. ”

"Just looking for a human gathering place?"

"No, including the distribution of the demons or orcs' military camps, the state of their troops, the situation of the roads, what they are doing, we must also take advantage of this trip to record it. As for what they want to do and what they can do, that's what the old men in the command should think. It's not our turn. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they said eagerly: "Counterattack." ”

Ezio nodded and said, "This matter, of course, is the ultimate goal. So how important our mission as sentinels is, we don't need to repeat it here. Give everything you see back to those who make decisions. We are just soldiers, so let's do it to the extreme. Other things should be something that the old men should be worried about. ”

In fact, Ezio's argument is different from what most soldiers think. No one wants to be a general, no one wants to command thousands of troops and horses to fight a smooth victory.

Therefore, pointing out the country is their usual pastime. It seems that if this army is handed over to him, he will be able to destroy the demon alliance in an instant and fight to the gate of the abyss.

This is not immune, even for the soldiers who were born as adventurers. People like Ezio, on the contrary, are a minority, an outlier.

But when it's time to go on a mission, it's not a time to be ambitious. So no one can say anything wrong with Ezio's duty. And they all agree that it is necessary.

There was no loud war cry between them. This is because in the time of the retreat war, who still has the strength to do such an unobtrusive faΓ§ade work.

The custom continues to this day, and everyone can tell each other what they mean by looking at each other. Without such a tacit understanding, it would have been really difficult to survive that brutal battle.

When no one continues to ask questions, they bow their heads to each other, and then return to their respective posts to convey the conversation to the others. Ezio also came to the map table.

Shown on the map table is a converted contour map detected by the Arcane Eye. This kind of map is more conducive to tactical arrangement than a live-action map.

Ezio didn't sit in the captain's seat. He is more accustomed to standing at the tactical table, trying to simulate the real battle situation in his mind, and make judgments based on it.

And the important key to this reconnaissance mission are two young men from elementary school sitting at the radar table.

Anyway, there are a lot of strange terms in the war room, which were named by the designer.

If anyone wants to change it, then change it. Anyway, he's just a noun to let people know what they're talking about. Such an attitude makes everyone follow someone's name and is too lazy to change it.

In addition to monitoring the radar screen, the other major task of the two men is to use the programming language to fine-tune the graphics parameters of the Arcane Eye.

Because this magic actually collects a lot of environmental information. Seeing with the eyes is the most intuitive, after all, all data processing is left to the human brain to judge.

However, there is a limit to the information gathered by looking at it with your eyes, and it is not possible to maximize the full effectiveness of the Arcane Eye. The best way is to use the program to delete, clean up, and find the information you want to see.

For example, on this map table, Ezio can ask for the location of all living creatures within the map if he wants. This is judged from the biological information of the organism, and it is not difficult to do it. Anyway, there are so many differences between living things and dead things that it's easy to tell the difference between the two.

If this is placed on the reconnaissance mission at hand, it is the airship flying at high altitude, where there are living people can be seen at a glance by the detection of the arcane eye, and there is no need to get close to the distance from the ground to the naked eye.

But the question is, what is the detected biological reaction? Mankind? Animal? Orcs? Demon?

At this stage, the twin griffins that have undergone magic modification can only confirm the reaction of the living body, and cannot judge what this living creature is. And even ask, who exactly?

What the magician did easily, changed to this group of children, even if they knew what they were going to do, they still couldn't come up with a similar result.

For such a result, not to mention the two eldest children who hosted, even Ezio was a little frustrated.

He focused on evading a mage's detection methods, and arguably had some knowledge of the arcane eye's abilities. But how to achieve that level, I don't know how to do it. Ezio could only comfort the two companions and let them do their best without feeling guilty or blaming themselves.

When the report of the final inspection was reported from the various parts of the airship, with the nod of Ezio, the captain sent by the Kaveh family to assist in the operation of the boat gave the order: "Turn on the levitation function, start the engine." ”

The original low roar of the twin griffons changed in an instant, and turned into a sharper, thin sound. Although the sound was much sharper, the volume became quieter, so everyone was not uncomfortable.

At the same time, everyone also felt that the airship suddenly floated up a short distance, just like a normal person jumping. The difference is that the airship did not land, but was suspended at such a height, shaking slightly.

The people who can ride the airship are not stupid people with dull facial features and uncoordinated hands and feet. They could all feel the subtle shaking.

At this time, the head of the organ came with a report from the brass pipe: "Engine No. 1 is online, Engine No. 2 is online, and all engines are online." ”

The Twin Gryphons have two engines and four external propellers. The engine and the propeller are driven by multiple sets of gears, and the group can be changed arbitrarily to let the propellers operate separately. It will not cause the overall shutdown due to the damage of any one part.

"Recover the landing gear." The captain ordered.

There was a flight controller who flipped the switch. Wait until the indicator light changes color, and report back: "The landing gear is stowed away." ”

The captain looked at Ezio. The young man who was being watched just stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky. The captain understood what he meant, and gave an order: "Here is the captain to inform the whole ship, fix the body and move the items, and the ship will perform a sharp elevation action." The No. 1 and No. 2 propellers were started, at a slight speed, and floated at 45 degrees. The altitude reaches 300 and then turns to medium speed, and climbs 60 degrees. ”

Except for the ship-wide bulletin at the beginning, there was no reply, and all the departments or operators who gave the orders from the captain repeated the orders and carried out the operations.

At the same time, everyone in the ship hugged the railing tightly, and those who couldn't hold it tied themselves to their positions with fixed ropes. If you don't pay attention to this kind of sharp elevation angle operation, the whole person will fall dizzy.

Generally speaking, this kind of sudden ascent is a tactical move, and it is not so intense in normal times. But this time I played like this at the beginning, and it seems that someone has a big plan. Especially...... How long are you going to climb? So thought everyone on the Twin Griffins.

In the command room, the personnel responsible for monitoring the flight status of the airship report the altitude of the airship every 100 meters. Later, the changes were too fast, so that the sound of the reading was both urgent, and every one could not be completed, and the airship reached the next stage of altitude.

The climb was so fast that it made everyone's scalps tingle in the command room. Because a few minutes earlier, the Twin Griffins had broken through the minimum height required for this mission, and were still climbing higher.

And don't think that people are just worried about the human adaptation problem caused by height. The climate is now just lighter than before, not completely absent.

The higher the position, the stronger the wind. The effect of this on the rapidly climbing airship was that the entire hull made a rumbling sound that had never been heard before, and even the abnormal side-to-side shaking was even more serious. It sounds like an airship is falling apart.

Scatter will not be scattered, and everyone has faith in the Twin Griffin. Because they once faced an attack by a group of human-faced birds, but the airship did nothing and crashed into it! Then it crashed out unscathed.

Think about what happens to ordinary people who rush tanks with their flesh. can make the sheet metal of the tank slightly dented, and you can praise that person is copper-skinned and iron-clad.

But the part that makes everyone unconfident is the altimeter that is about to go to the sky. In fact, a few minutes ago, Ezio had already made people report every 1,000 meters. Otherwise, he suspected that the poor fellow would be so anxious that he would bite himself all over the place.

When the altitude exceeded 10,000 meters, the entire airship suddenly loosened as if it had broken free from something. The strange sounds were gone, and the airship was no longer shaking inexplicably. It's like flying smoothly in a sunny day.

At this time, Ezio did not go through the captain again, but gave his own orders: "Horizontal rudder, slight speed, self-inspection of the whole ship." Report onboard climate data. ”

This is not the first time this has happened. Moreover, before the transfer of command, the Grand Duke could have made it clear that when Ezio had a conflict with the captain's orders, the former would prevail. The captain's role has always been to assist, not to fight for power.

So the helmsman immediately adjusted the operation according to the instructions and repeated them one by one. At the same time, the person in charge of monitoring said: "The temperature inside the ship is twenty-one degrees. The thermostat is in motion. ”

"Where's the air pressure?" Ezio asked.

This is a new observation, which has not been used before. However, the monitor still reported back: "The air pressure inside the ship is 998 h0Pa, and the constant pressure device is also in operation." ”

The units of the various new data were named, and Lin used the names he was used to. Anyway, no one is robbing me of the current fandom.

Ezio asked, "Is there a sudden drop in temperature and pressure anywhere?" ”

"Nope. The environmental data inside the ship is consistent, and there are no drastic changes. ”
