Chapter 17 The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds
Xia Chujian was said to be empty-hearted, silent, and did not dare to go out of the driver's position, focusing on the flight speed of the aircraft, and at the same time turning on the virtual surveillance video up and down, left and right, so as not to encounter the same dilemma of being hit by saturation.
Six virtual screens float in front of her, which can display the images converted by the solid-state LiDAR equipped on the aircraft, and the mechanical intelligence on the aircraft can also assist in monitoring.
After all, she only has two eyes and can't juggle six screens at the same time.
As the aircraft entered a stable state, Ye Shijie called up a new virtual screen and connected to the star network database of the Night Hunters Association system.
On the virtual screen, the first thing that appears is a black and bright blue planet, floating in the infinite universe.
Ye Shijie pointed to the planet and said, "This is the planet where we are, Guiyuanxing." ”
As he slid his finger, different images began to appear on the virtual screen.
"Guiyuan Star is the most remote planet in the star field where the Beichen Empire is located, and it only has the most backward agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry resources."
"You see here, 30 percent is covered with seawater, 30 percent is covered with fresh water."
"Another 20 percent is all fertile plain farmland, and the other 10 percent is grassland."
"And the remaining ten percent is the Alien Beast Forest, including the Extreme North with the 'Life Forbidden Zone', which also belongs to the Alien Beast Forest."
"The guild has given the Blood Qilin the possible coordinates of the location, which is on the southern edge of the Far North."
"In the entire Guiyuan Star, there are only four large cities with permanent residents, and Mulan City is just one of them. Although the population of the entire planet is as high as 10 billion, compared to the other planets of the Beichen Empire, it has the smallest population and the most backward development. ”
Ye Shijie continued to swipe on the virtual screen to find out where Mulan City was located on the Far Away Star and zoom in to show them.
"This is Mulan City, where our team is stationed."
Then he slid his finger to enlarge the place representing the Alien Beast Forest on the virtual screen, and continued: "To the north of Mulan City is the Alien Beast Forest, and this is its three-dimensional map. ”
"The Alien Beast Forest spans the eastern and western hemispheres of our Guiyuan Star, and then Mulan City in the south, and in addition, all the way to the north, the entire extreme north of the Guiyuan Star belongs to the Alien Beast Forest."
"The core of the Far North is also known as the 'Life Exclusion Zone', and it is said that there is no life there."
"It's too vast......" Everyone was immediately fascinated by the scene on the virtual display.
Right at their feet, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of rolling mountains with no end in sight.
It was nighttime, and there was no light, but the Beast Forest was not dark and dreary.
From time to time, various colors of light light come up from the depths of the forest, not as bright as the neon lights in Mulan City, but also have a special taste.
The crimson of blood, the light green of green apples, the earthy yellow of the desert, and even the bright orange of the stars, and the eggplant purple that almost blends with the night.
At the beginning of the summer, the accuracy of the camera on the aircraft was simply increased, and the situation on the ground was clearer.
Thousands of meters in the air, you can see all kinds of furry animals running in the forest.
But she didn't look long before she noticed that the scene on the ground was getting whiter and whiter.
Soon, the earth turned white, and there were large snowflakes floating in the sky.
Xia Hatsumi looked at the display carefully and said, "Is this snowing?" ”
"Well, the farther north, the colder it gets, and the more snow falls. It's the middle of November again, and even Mulan City in the south is almost winter, let alone the extreme north where the Alien Beast Forest is located? ”
It can be seen that Ye Shijie knows the most about the alien beast forest in the team, and now he is also taking this opportunity to popularize science to the people in the team.
The alien beast forest was covered in snow, and there was nothing to be seen at this time.
Xia Hatsumi was about to stop paying attention to this virtual display, when suddenly, a golden point of light quickly enlarged on the display screen from far and near.
Is there something rushing from the bottom up?
Xia Chujian hurriedly operated the aircraft manually, and pulled it up sharply.
The aircraft accelerated suddenly, rushing straight up to 5,000 meters in one second, and there was weightlessness in the aircraft, and then acceleration could reach the first cosmic velocity.
The other people in the aircraft were fortunately wearing seat belts, otherwise they would have to fly one by one.
"What's wrong with the first meeting? You're going to strangle me! Li Jian let out a wail.
He was the tallest and stoutest, and the seat in the aircraft was only good for him.
This sudden acceleration of the pull, he was the first to be strangled by the seat belt and couldn't stand it.
Xia Chujian ignored him.
She stared at the virtual screen until she realized what the golden thing below was.
It was a golden giant bird with its wings spread out, four or five meters long!
Its head is extraordinarily large, four or five times the size of the head of a regular falcon.
The wings were not only very long, but also very thick, and the feathers on them were golden and dazzling like gold.
With a flap of the wings, it seems that it can stir up the air high in the sky and push away a cyclone!
This strength is really very great.
What's even more peculiar is that this bird actually has four legs!
Not bird legs, but four legs that look very strong, like a male lion.
The volume of the whole bird also looks like a male lion, not at all like the size of an ordinary falcon.
“…… What the hell is this? In case we crash into our aircraft......"
Song Mingqian happened to see the virtual screen, and he also gasped, understanding why Xia Chujian suddenly pulled up the aircraft.
Ye Shijie frowned and leaned over, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said suspiciously: "This seems to be the griffin Haidongqing of the Alien Beast Forest...... However, it generally operates in the far north of Guiyuan Star, near the forbidden area of life. ”
"We're not at the southern edge of the Far North yet, we're at least a few tens of thousands of miles away from the Life Forbidden Zone, how could it run so south?"
Although they are in the airspace north of Mulan City, compared to the extreme north core of the planet, their current location is indeed considered southern.
"Why does it only move close to the forbidden zone of life?"
"Because it only likes to stay in cold places. The further south you go, the hotter it gets, which is not suitable for the survival of the griffin sea and the east of the sea. ”
Everyone: "......"
A place of minus 80 degrees, and a place of more than minus 100 degrees, is considered "hotter", right?
A subtle sense of absurdity rose in everyone's hearts.
But this is the Alien Beast Forest, and it's the Alien Beast Forest near the Far North, and anything can happen.
"And what does it mean that it is rushing towards us?" Xia Chujian stretched out his finger and calmly swiped on the virtual screen, changing his perspective to observe the position below, "You see, it's chasing us." It wasn't until we had a rapid rally that it couldn't catch up and gave up. ”
"This aircraft is worthy of being powered by controlled nuclear fusion, tsk, look at this speed, I feel that it transforms into a starship, and it is only a matter of minutes to fly out of the gravitational range of the distant star." Song Mingqian was a technical faction in the squad, and it is said that he was the only one who went to college.
Xia Chujian looked at the data on the dashboard, nodded and said, "That's for sure, as long as you reach the second cosmic velocity, you can fly out of Guiyuan Star." ”
Everyone was fascinated and couldn't help but get together to study the performance data of this flying machine.
Only Xia Chujian frowned, looking at the direction in which the griffin Hai Dongqing disappeared, and always felt that something was wrong.
This is a small combat vehicle.
Combat aircraft, like large aircraft, are equipped with ultrasound cameras to drive birds away over long distances.
No matter how big the griffin is, it is also a bird.
Birds can't stand the bird-specific sound from the sonometer the most, and they will stay away.
Why didn't this griffin Hai Dongqing avoid it, but instead rose to the challenge?
Are there any birds that like the overclocking noise of an ultrasound machine?
It's a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds......
Xia Chujian complained in his heart, while controlling the aircraft, he simply flew north at an altitude of 10,000 meters for an hour before slowly descending.
"Down below is the southern edge of the Far North." Xia Chujian said that he suddenly found that the instrument panel of the aircraft's control direction was disordered.
The hands on it were as if they were drunk, and they turned in circles at three hundred and sixty degrees.
"Team Ye, what's going on?" Xia Chujian looked at Ye Shijie with some concern.
Ye Shijie, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, glanced at it and said calmly: "The closer to the extreme north, the stronger the magnetic field energy, the aircraft will be like this, cancel the automatic flight mode, hand control." ”
“…… But the direction gauge doesn't work, how to operate it manually? ”
How to fly without direction?
"With your eyes and brains......" Ye Shijie glanced at her disdainfully, "Aren't you very capable?" I still want to go to the far north of the alien beast forest alone! ”
See you at the beginning of summer: "......"
She held the joystick and said calmly, "Okay, I can't read the dashboard anyway, so just open it." ”
Ye Shijie's face darkened suddenly: "You really can't read the dashboard?!" ”
"I haven't graduated from high school yet, and I'm a scumbag, so I can't understand it?" Xia Chujian even gave Ye Shijie a dialect of Mulan City.
But laughing aside, Xia Chujian still looked at the virtual display screen in front of him and slowly lowered the aircraft.
It wasn't until she could see the rolling hills and snow-white branches on the ground with her naked eye that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The following place is not far from the approximate coordinates of the blood unicorn given by the association, so let's stop here." Xia Chujian enlarged a virtual display screen in front of him that showed the situation on the ground, and showed everyone the situation on the ground.
Under the aircraft, the first thing that catches your eye is a turquoise lake, the area of the lake is very large, and it is a large piece of turquoise, like a piece of transparent and clear jasper, inlaid in the snow-capped earth.
There are dense woods around the lake, covered with snow.
A pale white with a hint of verdant green.
Through the three-dimensional perspective system built on the aircraft, you can see a large open space under the trees, and there seems to be a small wooden house in the center of the clearing.
There is a log cabin that looks very old in this off-the-beaten-path place!
