Chapter 1538: Unknown Territory
"Is the propeller and rudder self-checking, is it working properly?" Remembering the warnings in the miscellaneous, Ezio asked.
The inspection device is separate from the operating system, so the Twin Gryphon eliminates the need for short and urgent movements to prove that the external device is functioning properly. The monitor truthfully reported: "Normal operation. ”
After receiving these reassuring words, Ezio breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no limit to the elevation of the airship, but the people inside do, and such a statement is actually doubtful. If all the magicians really rely on the environment to adapt to the magic, is there really no airship to reach such a height?
The reality is that when a certain altitude is exceeded, all the actuation of the airship will decrease, and eventually it will even stop. And then there is the heroic fall......
Because there is no data in the old records, everything is based on feelings. Ezio wasn't sure if he had crossed the threshold in those books, so he was naturally worried. But the Twin Griffins can go back safely, which must be a feat.
As for whether it is a record-breaking now, whether it is a record-breaking, or whether he should challenge the limit, he doesn't think about this kind of thing at all. Or the task of saving people is the priority.
This mood also shines into the command room with the morning sun shining through the double-layered viewing windows made of magic crystals, which is only kept to a minimum. The brightness of the sun is like a foreshadowing of a happy ending this time.
To achieve such a result, there is no one who is more surprised than the baron who sat on the captain's seat. Their family has served the Kaveh family for generations, and they are trusted to sit in this position today.
He has been the captain of the Twin Griffons ever since. In the years before the war against the demons, he had a dream of one day building an airship legion for the Kaveh family, and he was too familiar with all the features of the Twin Griffins to know any more.
So the baron knew very well that this altitude of more than 10,000 meters was beyond the reach of all airships, and it was also an altitude that the Twin Griffins could not reach.
Or an airship can, but not a person in it. It doesn't even take 10,000 meters, but as long as you climb to half the height, the people inside should start to have problems. How could it be like now, everyone is still alive.
So in disbelief, he simply left the captain's position, came to the monitor, and personally operated the console and checked the data. Such an operation was not a problem for the baron, who was familiar with airships.
Ezio also left his original position, but made his way to the radar table.
In the process of climbing, they had actually crossed the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, ignoring the cursed wind and snow and the passage and came to the other side of the mountain. The reconnaissance mission is also officially opened.
So Ezio wanted to know how accurately the Arcane Eye could detect at such heights. As long as they are precise enough, they can stay at this safe altitude and complete the reconnaissance mission. Seeing the clouds beneath him, Ezio didn't feel that anyone but the gods could threaten them.
But it backfired. Although biological reactions can be detected, they are mostly in a single group, let alone which are humans, orcs or demons.
In other words, the only way they want to get accurate information is to lower the altitude. It may even be as low as the distance that can be observed with the naked eye.
Ezio was a little unhappy with this result. He also wondered if he might turn around and go back to the Holy City first, and take out the demonic mutated arcane eyes of a certain magician to play with.
But it's too late to do so. Not to mention the new equipment, whether it can be installed on the airship, and whether it can operate normally after being installed is still a problem. The deadline was very tight, and he didn't have time to do those idle things. This should have been done before.
Since you haven't done it, let's use the existing conditions to find a way to complete the task to the best. If he didn't have the ability to overcome the difficulties, it would be in vain for Ezio to stay in the position of this commander.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "First use this height to do the first reconnaissance, and sweep the area we are responsible for once." After confirming where there are biological reactions, a large number of reactions are marked. Then plan the shortest reconnaissance route at low altitude to determine who is in each gathering place. This time, I'm in charge of the two of you. If you have a question, ask it, and if you need someone to talk about it. OK? ”
The two older children, both from elementary schools, nodded seriously.
Ezio was very awkward in pronouncing the name again, and it just so happened that the other party was also the only person on the airship who had a knighthood, so the captain who used the title as a nickname said, "Baron, you will arrange the route according to the plan of the two of them." I'm going to check the cabins. If you want to know about the high-altitude problem, I'll tell you when I get back. ”
Looking at the captain's eyes, Ezio knew that this guy who had been sent to learn things must have a great interest in the ascension of the airship. But it's not the right time.
The captain also knew that this was not suitable for this time, so he just saluted and said, "Okay, General." ”
Although he has a noble title, he is even older than the young man in front of him. But since being assigned to Ezio, a series of performances have convinced the new generation of members of the Kaveh family.
Putting aside the affairs of the command room, Ezio patrolled the Twins griffon. In addition to confirming the normalcy of each place, it is also necessary to calm the mood of all occupants.
You know, they're at a height that no other airship has ever reached. Or there is, but no living person can prove that a certain airship has accomplished such an achievement.
Before all the innovations, one must be in awe and careful. Because this is a field that no one has touched, it is normal for something to happen that no one knows. In order to avoid uncontrollable accidents, you must do what you can to the best of your ability.
The above is someone's admonition. When the man said it, he didn't have a bitter attitude, but casually mentioned it as if he was emotional. He doesn't care at all if the person listening takes it seriously or not.
Ezio had scoffed, but as soon as he thought of the girl who had died, he had to admit that caution was necessary. You can't make any more mistakes, not to mention being scolded for being stupid, and you can't forgive yourself.
In any case, when it comes to security, Ezio is a bit nitpicky. He will not blindly pass the fault on to others, but he will not be able to reassure himself if he does not walk around himself.
During the round, in addition to checking the condition of the occupants, it also reminds them that if they can, they will look out of the viewing window. They are now at an altitude of 10,000 meters, an altitude that no one has ever reached.
Saying these words, which seems to be showing off, is actually explaining the climbing behavior just now. To put it mildly, if the Twins Griffin's sealing was not good enough, and there was a problem with the cabin climate maintenance system, Ezio was joking with the lives of the entire ship.
But now that you have succeeded, you have to convey your confident attitude and guide everyone's ideas with results. Solve the hidden dangers that will arise at any time, or smooth out the emotions that may arise.
Most importantly, they are safe at such heights, even though this is already the domain of the demons. This point is reassuring to many people.
Although Ezio also made it clear that he would still lower his altitude in order to scout in the future. But of course, the nimble mind will figure out one thing, this height is like a safe zone that can be reached at any time, and you don't have to flee thousands of miles to the south, cross the mountains, and get to safety.
Of course, the sealing of each compartment should also be checked.
There is no rubber, there is no tea, and there are not many things in the hometown, which is about to become someone's grudge.
But luckily, rubber can also find a substitute for the Lost Edition. It is a certain kind of ooze monster that, after special treatment, can be used as an excellent magic material with rubber properties.
Although from the ooze monster samples collected by Lin, the plasticity and power conductivity of the selected species are not the best. However, it has one advantage that other ooze monsters have over it, and that is that it is easy to breed and farm. This means that it can be produced in large quantities.
Of course, this work is entrusted to the automotive center. In order to build a Ooze Monster Farm, there are more difficulties than expected.
The most important thing is to convince people, not to raise the technique. After all, ooze monsters are low-level magical creatures no matter what, and they only act on instinct. This means that when they are hungry, 'humans' are on their menu.
The moth raised in someone's house, because there is a black dragon suppressing it, it is impossible to turn the sky upside down, at most it can escape. However, the ooze monsters raised in the car center have more than once injured people. Fortunately, the ooze monster is not strong and has not caused deaths, but the related protection and costs have been upgraded again and again.
Although it is troublesome, the benefits of rubber materials to industrialization are difficult to estimate. The horsepower increase in the car's engine, and the fact that the Twin Gryphon can reach such heights today, are all benefits of the rubber material.
But again, this is an area that no one has touched. So Ezio checked everything very carefully, lest something unexpected happen.
But the results seem to be satisfactory. Everything is described in the magician's miscellaneous notes, including possible problems and solutions.
However, the miscellaneous notes are only essays after all, so many of the solutions are just concepts and have to be perfected on their own, which is what Ezio worries about. Now it seems that it is not going in the wrong direction.
By the time he returned to the command room, the Twin Griffins had turned to medium speed. The Arcane Eye scanned the ground to provide rough information.
These contents are presented directly by Ezio on the map table. The points of light representing the creatures are not only dense, but also extremely widely distributed, and it looks like there are millions of troops underneath.
This was of course an anomaly, and everyone sitting around the map was stunned.
Ezio thought for a moment, and said to the two men who were operating the radar and controlling the results of the arcane eye's reconnaissance, "Eliminate the targets that are too weak, and we may even catch insects, rabbits, and the like." ”
The Twin Griffon's Arcane Eyes, although unable to distinguish between the target race, can still distinguish between the strength and weakness of creatures. With a simple screening, new results can be obtained. A much simpler map is undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye.
