Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Six: Nine Days

"Lord Feng, why are you here?"

"I have something important to go back to Beijing, and I have to hurry up to prepare for the exam. Boss Wang, how can you ......?"

"Hey, my wife is about to give birth, and I'm in a hurry to go back, otherwise how can I ......?"

"Do you think this thing is reliable? How do I think that the surname Ren is a ...... Lunatic? ”

"It should ...... No problem, it should ......."

"yes, I think it's made of iron, and it's strong enough to the touch."

"But the fuel he put in it was gunpowder! What if ......"

"Yes, last time I heard that an armory in the capital exploded due to a fire, and the whole city could hear it......"

Although this group of people was coaxed by Ren Chuanning to sit in this big "Kunpeng", they still couldn't help but feel stunned, so they began to talk about it, and their words were full of uneasiness.

Qiu Shaohu sat on a chair in front of him, glanced around, and re-observed this "artifact" created by Ren Chuanning from the perspective inside. I saw that many internal brackets leaked out, and some metal edges and corners had not been smoothed, which looked very rough, and it did look unreliable.

If it weren't for Ren Chuanning's guarantee that he would be with them on this trip, I'm afraid no one would dare to sit on him. At least everyone thought he wasn't crazy enough to think about throwing himself to death.

"Everyone, welcome to you, you are about to join me as the first batch of passengers of this Divine Fire Kunpeng," Ren Chuanning also walked inside at this time, and as he entered, the workers outside closed all the doors outside the entire cabin. Suddenly, it was as if they were locked up in a small dark room.

"Don't be nervous, this thing can fly very fast, you will only feel like you are flying in the clouds for a while, and you will usually arrive home in your dreams." Ren Chuanning turned on the light inside, and the shining light illuminated his face from the top of his head, making his expression look a little smiling.

"You should be honored that you are the ones who have experienced this great moment firsthand, and that you are about to witness the greatest invention of the Empire soar to the sky with your courage and courage! The success of this Divine Fire Kunpeng is a hymn to your courage! ”

With Ren Chuanning's impassionedness, the rumbling noise sounded, and the heavy iron shadow began to move, and a series of complex gears on his head began to operate, and the sound of "squeak" slowly moved forward.

"Who wants any courage, I'm scared now!" Some people around him couldn't help but mutter, "Seeing that he has an expressionless face and no god in his eyes, he doesn't look like a good class at all, does he really want our lives?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Hearing this, Qiu Shaohu looked at it and turned around and walked to the front driving position, groped for Ren Chuanning, who was sitting next to the driver, and said, "He just can't see you clearly." ”

"Boom!" With these words, the entire iron box suddenly trembled. It was as if thunder was exploding overhead, and loud shocks kept coming from behind, and the whole big guy accelerated to the extreme in an instant, and the Qianli Fast Horse was not so fast. Vaguely, Qiu Shaohu could see that the exploding sparks jumped here from time to time, choking with smoke and dust, obviously sealing it badly.

Using the power of the gunpowder explosion as a boost, the entire Divine Fire Kunpeng instantly reached the speed of take-off, and even if you couldn't see anything while sitting inside, you could feel that it was soaring into the air, floating crookedly forward.

The violent jolting and strong acceleration inertia caused many people to stagger, and a few even threw up directly in their chairs. Ren Chuanning sat in the front row alone with the pilot, watching the moment of take-off through the front window.

"Go one step further!" Seeing that his hard work was really flying, Ren Chuanning shouted excitedly, "Look at the beautiful scenery in this world, the magnificence is unprecedented!" ”

He didn't wear glasses either, and he didn't know how he could see the scenery flying in the sky with such eyesight.

"It's very good to fly, but," Qiu Shaohu also came over at this time, stood beside Ren Chuanning and said to him: "Your front cabin and the back are interconnected, this is not good, the people behind are easy to interfere with the driving in front." Even on a ship, the cockpit is impossible for ordinary people to enter. ”

"And, more importantly, I want to ask how you're going to take us people to a safe landing. The nestlings of the swallow can generally fly in three months, but they can fly out of the nest in five months, because it is easy to take off and difficult to land, even if the bird does not land well, it will fall to death. I guess you big guy should have a slowdown mechanism on it, too. ”

Qiu Shaohu glanced at a series of complex connecting rods in front of him.

Ren Chuanning's smile froze for a moment.

Yes, I've been thinking about flying, but, what about landing?

"That, the old version, how can this thing stop ......" The driver next to him also realized the problem and reminded awkwardly.

The three of them all tacitly acknowledged, and they were embarrassed for a long time in a silent atmosphere. During this time, although the entire Divine Fire Kunpeng was shaking, it had been flying forward steadily, and the clouds in the sky were scattered by its huge size, and the white vortex swept backwards, leaving white traces, as if a whole road had been paved in the sky.

The horizon of the sky is constantly narrowing, the outline of a city in the distance has loomed, tall and majestic, there are countless roads and rivers as the center of the continuous convergence, looking down, reflecting the sunset in the west, the golden light is plated, the whole Kangjing City is really magnificent.

However, at this time, the few people who knew the truth were not in the mood to appreciate all this, Ren Chuanning really didn't deceive Qiu Shaohu, and flew to Kangjing in just one cup of tea, but if they didn't want to land safely, they could only be regarded as "dropping" to Kangjing.

"What to do, what to do......" Ren Chuanning was also anxious and kept thinking of a way. Only by cutting off the motivation and finding a way to slow down can we consider the next step. But the reason why he took the risk of using gunpowder as fuel was because he saw the huge power of its deflagration, but the gunpowder was extremely flammable and difficult to extinguish, and now it has been burned, and it is not easy to extinguish it.

"If you completely turn off the flame, can you float to the ground slowly?" Qiu Shaohu suddenly spoke next to him.

"It should be possible," the driver said, "Before that, I drove the first Kunpeng designed by my boss, and the one had no power, it was pushed down from the mountains and glided into the sky, and finally I drove it to the ground." ”

"That's good," Qiu Shaohu said, "I'll go to the back and extinguish all your gunpowder, and you two will find a way to make it fall safely." ”

There are endless plains and tidal flats near Kangjing City, and if the speed can be slowed down, it is indeed not difficult to find a place to land.

After the division of labor, Qiu Shaohu walked out of the front cockpit directly and headed towards the rear cabin. The entire interior is interconnected, and there are only some internal brackets as barriers, so it is not difficult to get around.

Qiu Shaohu came to the end, and saw several iron boxes firmly welded to the bulkhead, complex mechanisms linked to them, and the sound of deflagration was constantly heard from the boxes, and the burning gases were transported outside as power along the iron pipes.

Needless to say, what was inside was gunpowder, which was used as fuel. If you want to extinguish them, Qiu Shaohu has many ways.

But the most important thing at this time is not this, the reason why Qiu Shaohu is willing to participate in Ren Chuanning's crazy behavior, wanting to get to Kangjing quickly is only one aspect, on the other hand, he also wants to take the opportunity to get some gunpowder from here.

Entering Kangjing this time, Qiu Shaohu had a hunch that it might be dangerous, and he must make some preparations in advance. He wanted some firearms in Chaomen before, but this is different from swords, which has always been strictly guarded by the imperial court, and outsiders can't even get some gunpowder except for firecrackers during the New Year's holidays. But Qiu Shaohu found that the fuel used by Ren Chuanning was actually military gunpowder, so how could he let go of this opportunity.

Besides, if he hadn't followed him all the way, I'm afraid everyone would end up falling from the sky and dying at that time, and Ren Chuanning would have been extremely guilty at that time. Qiu Shaohu can also be regarded as indirectly helping him eliminate the disaster, and it is natural to get some compensation.

When he was thinking like this, Qiu Shaohu suddenly felt different.

When he looked up, he saw a bird in the aft compartment, standing on the box containing gunpowder, squinting at him. The bird's whole body is bright green, its eyes are big and its head is small, and there is an indescribable inexplicability in the eyes that look at him.

Where did a bird come from?

Qiu Shaohu was puzzled, and the amber yellow in his eyes flashed, making him suddenly alert.

He clearly saw that in the eyes of this bird, there was a special breath.

"Demon spirit!"

There is actually a demon near Kangjing?

Immediately after, Qiu Shaohu felt that the sky was spinning, and the entire Tie Kunpeng was trembling, as if he had been struck by lightning and was about to fall.

All he could hear was the steel cabin, the dense crashing sounds, scratching sounds, chirping, and noisy that were about to smash through the entire cabin.

Countless chaotic flapping of wings, as if there were countless birds outside, fearlessly crashing into the behemoth they were riding.
