Chapter 606: The Storm

"I'm going to Beichen first."

Tesla followed Mycroft to the airship and spoke.

"Exactly." Mycroft nodded, "After you, we are actually planning to go to Beichen as well, and this is definitely not only a disaster for Britannia, but also for the whole world. ”

Mycroft looked at Lorob, "Go and inform Beichen, it's rude to come without telling you." ”

Rob nodded, then walked over to the communicator to the side and asked him to transmit the message.

While they were communicating, the staff at the dock also untied the rope of the airboat and let the airboat slowly rise into the air.

Tesla looked around, and at the front of the bridge was a large instrument panel, covered with various instruments and displays, showing various data and status of the empty ship in real time. The background color of the dashboard is dominated by dark tones, which makes the entire bridge look more professional and high-end.

On one side of the bridge, there is a row of consoles with rows of buttons and switches through which the operator can control various systems and equipment of the airboat. The surface of the console is designed to be non-slip for operator safety.

The view of the bridge was wide, and the rising airships gradually sank into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist.

"This is a Leviathan, right?" Tesla asked, "I've been on this ship before." ”

He whispered in a deep eye, "At that time, Joan of Arc was there. I was impressed by its combat effectiveness. ”

"This shouldn't be the one you've been on in the past." McCroft said.

"I know that the facilities inside are a lot more advanced." Tesla nodded.

The gallery behind the McCroft bridge stretched out its hand.

"Please follow me."

McCroft led Tesla to the lower level of the airship and pushed open a door that was a fairly spacious bedroom.

The bedroom, located on the lower deck of the airboat, reduces the impact of the rocking of the boat on sleep. The rooms are warm and cozy in a warm and cozy tone. There are some serene landscape paintings hanging on the walls.

There is a large bed in the room, the bed is soft and comfortable, and the sheets and bedding are neat and clean. A small lamp is placed on the bedside table for easy reading or nighttime use. There are also one or two art paintings hanging on the wall at the head of the bed, adding a touch of art to the room.

In addition to the beds, the bedrooms are equipped with furnishings such as wardrobes, desks and chairs. In the corner of the room, there is also a small toilet with bathing facilities and sanitary facilities such as toilets.

"This is your room, if you have any requests, you can call someone at any time and they will take care of everything you need." McCroft said.

"I'm sorry for you." Tesla nodded.

Mycroft bowed to Tesla, then slowly retreated, closing the door with him.

He quickly returned to the bridge, and Rob greeted him.

"Beichen already knows, and they say we are welcome."

"I see." McCroft said.

"Is Mr. Tesla really going to join Britannia?" Rob said with some expectation, "Then Britannia's industrial technology will soon surpass Beichen." ”

"Just being a scientific advisor." "And according to my understanding of Tesla, all of his technical estimates will be released to the public, hasn't it been like that all these years?" ”

Rob nodded, "That's right." ”

"Boom!"

I don't know how long it took, the sun gradually set in the west, and the airboat had been sailing out of the island for a long time, and the originally clear sky instantly became gloomy, and the clouds were thick, as if a huge curtain covered the entire sky. Thunder rumbled, piercing the sky from time to time, flashing with dazzling electric light. The wind howled, rolling up clouds, and the airboat swayed in the wind as light as a leaf.

The hull of the airboat was jolting in the storm, and the huge wind caused the hull to shake constantly. Mycroft stumbled and nearly fell to the ground, but he quickly grabbed a chair fixed to the bridge to stabilize his body.

The captain of the fleet reacted quickly, and hurriedly said, "Descend altitude!" ”

The torrential rain poured down, and the raindrops crashed on the deck of the airboat with a crackling sound.

"What's going on, didn't you say it's a sunny day?" Rob shouted as he looked at the weatherman.

The weatherman was also a little flustered, "Weather forecasts are not 100% accurate. ”

Mycroft didn't say anything, just slowly raised his head to look at the sky, he stared at the cloud-covered sky, and vaguely, he seemed to see a long strip of existence surging in the air.

It reminded him of the sudden rainstorm that had occurred when he was in the steam capital before. In the midst of the thunder, bursts of dragon moans mingled with it.

Mycroft's hearing was sharp, so he could easily distinguish between sounds that were different from thunder.

"It's none of his business." Mycroft spoke.

He looked at the captain, "Where is the nearest land?" ”

The captain looked at the usher on one side.

The guide was also searching for the map placed on the table in front of him, and soon he turned his head and shouted.

"Great Egyptian Empire!"

"To the Great Egyptian Empire!" The captain hurriedly ordered.

The wind whipped up the waves, the sea was rough, and the crew nervously steered the airboat, trying to keep it steady while keeping a close eye on the changes in their surroundings.

In this storm, the airship seems to have become a lonely boat, which may be swallowed by the wind and waves at any time.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning swept across the airboat and struck the hull.

Everyone felt their bodies go numb for a moment, but they didn't suffer much because of the Faraday Cage effect.

But the ship was plunged into darkness, and only the afterglow of lightning reflected the frightened faces. The engine roared and then came to an abrupt halt, leaving the airboat unpowered and at the mercy of the wind and waves.

"Turn on the backup power!" The captain shouted.

Controllers are trying to control the airship, trying to use the surrounding wind to restore stability to the airship.

However, although the airship is very stable compared to the airplane, the most feared thing is the storm.

Strong winds can cause the airship to lose its attitude.

The controller could barely control the airship from being overturned, and he constantly adjusted the flight angle and altitude to avoid the most violent parts of the storm. At the same time, he keeps a close eye on the gauge data of the airboat, and any slight anomaly could lead to serious consequences.

Luckily, the wind was carrying them to the nearest surface, and they soon saw the desert of the Great Egyptian Empire in the distance, and because they were moving away, the storm around them was gradually weakening.

The airboats could no longer reach the airport, so they had to find an open space, which was fortunate to have many such open spaces in the Great Egyptian Empire, and it was soft sand.

Mycroft could feel the hydrogen boat above them deflating rapidly, and then slowly descending.

As the airship approached the ground, McCroft's heart beat faster.

"All, crash ready!" The captain informs everyone in the entire cabin through a communication system inside the cabin.

Then Mycroft felt a dull thud, and the airboat crashed into a sand dune, then arced across the sand before coming to a steady stop.

The sand was soft, and they had glided and landed, so the expected impact was not heard, and after a brief silence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. (End of chapter)
