Quan Yujing's men's school uniforms are basically the same style, all of which are black slim models, but they will wear the school badge as decoration. Shang Luo put on the enamel "Luban Bird" school emblem of the Wutaishan Education Institute on his neckline, and tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror before walking out of the suite.

It's time to land. Thanks to its extremely wide wingspan, the Hercules' take-off and landing speeds are quite low. While guests need to be seated during takeoff, there is no need to make any additional preparations when landing.

The fuselage landed on the waterway inside Changi Harbour, and the bumps were not much greater than encountering air currents. The plane also does not need to apply the brakes sharply, and the water itself is the best speed bump. Shang Luo, who was standing in front of the mirror, just grabbed the handrail and landed smoothly with the Herculess to the seaplane dock in Changi Harbor.

Like a ship, the Herculesus slowly entered its berth - a giant aircraft with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters, which has a dedicated berth in its home port and can be boarded and landed without the need for a ferry. Also parked in the berth was the No. 1 Hercules, who was also picking up and dropping off passengers at this time.

After the plane came to a standstill, Shang Luo walked out of the suite.

"Good morning." The purser, who was going back and forth between the cockpit and the galley, greeted him, "Where's breakfast?" In the suite? ”

"I'll go downstairs to the dining room and eat." Speaking of which, it's been almost a day since he got on the plane, and he hasn't been to anything other than the suite, which feels like a bit of a waste of airfare.

"Okay, breakfast starts right away, and the meals are available for your own use. If you still want to eat something on the menu, you can tell us directly. You can order food at any time in the port and we'll serve it from the lounge galley in your terminal. Want a lemonade? ”

Zizizizi

Shang Luo drank his soda through a straw as he came down from the second floor. The dining room on the first floor is open, but there are also many passengers waiting in line to go out for a tour. The airport has prepared a tour bus to visit and shop in Sin Chew City, but Shang Luo feels comfortable enough to stay on the plane.

He sat down in the seat of the meal, and he was the only one who sat in the 4 seats facing each other. The South Sea sun shone in through the porthole and shone on the hibiscus flowers on the table that were offered with water. The waves gently lap against the pier, occasionally hitting the fuselage with a "knocking" sound like a wooden fish.

"Ah, a holiday day, maybe the last day of an ordinary person. Maybe after becoming a celestial, you won't be able to be idle. ”

Before he finished drinking the lemonade, he began to eat the curry chicken on the plate for some reason, perhaps under the influence of Zhu Xianne, he had to eat some meat in the morning to feel "full".

With a little refried bean and rice, he ate a small plate of chicken curry, leaned back in his seat and continued to look at the sea view. Anyway, there is a lot of time today, and he can eat another meal in a while, so he is not in a hurry to eat enough now.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he noticed that a large cylinder seemed to be parked on the dock not far away. The cylinder looked surprisingly large, like a submarine. However, the draft is shallow, and most of the entire huge cylinder floats on the water, as if it were hollow. One end of the cylinder is pointed, and the other end spreads out like a trumpet, all wrapped in black cloth, and the edge of the cloth has a five-color tassel of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth hanging down, which has a strange sense of gorgeousness. This five-color is quite common, it is the color on the Taichang flag, and it is generally used in the forbidden army.

He tilted his head slightly towards the window, trying to see better.

"Which side are you looking at?" Lu Huaiyang's voice suddenly appeared behind him - although it was a little scary, he was no longer surprised now.

"Over there, what's that cylinder? Is it a fuel tank? ”

"Ahh To his surprise, Lu Huaiyang actually smiled, "You guessed most of it right." Indeed, more than half of them are fuel tanks. Want to see it up close? ”

"This is what I can see?"

"There's nothing you can't watch. In fact, last night there was a fleet cruising on the Tianzhu Sea, and I guessed that this 'thing' was almost there. I didn't expect it to stop in the harbor - how about going and seeing? If it doesn't go well, this will probably be the last time you'll see it. Of course, if the plan goes well, you can see it many more times. ”

The place where the "Great Cylinder" docked is not far from the Hercules. The two of them walked over. In front of the berth, there was a forbidden army wearing gold armor standing guard, and after showing the other party's documents, the guards announced and let them go.

"Doesn't seem to be particularly classified?" After passing the checkpoint, Shang Luo found that there were not too many people here.

"Ah, it was classified at first, and now it's slowly loosening the message after a few failed attempts. Guess what it is? ”

Shang Luo raised his head slightly—looking closely, this large cylinder looked even bigger than it looked from afar. Like a skyscraper lying in the water, it is indeed 150 meters long and about the same width as a building.

"It's . Wait, this shouldn't be." He looked at the tail and confirmed that it did indeed have an expanded, trumpet-like structure. Although it was wrapped in a large black cloth, it was obvious that it was the structure of the vent, and it was still a whole large vent.

"You guessed it. This is a rocket. In front of you is the finished product of the 'Water Dragon Plan' that was promoted at the same time as Lan Fang's 'Artillery Plan' - the Water Dragon-class sea-based super-heavy space-to-earth shuttle launch vehicle, referred to as the Water Dragon Arrow. Forged in stainless steel throughout, it was ignited with the only giant extrusion rocket engine and had a total displacement of 18,000 metric tons, the size of a heavy cruiser. It can propel more than 450 metric tons into space in a single shot, and if the plan goes well, it can come back. ”

"This thing can come back??? How to get back? ”

"Smash it back. That's why it was necessary to use stainless steel arrow bodies and extruded rockets. This eliminates the need for complex turbopumps, multiple engines in parallel, or even mechanical structures. For squeeze rockets, you only need to squeeze out the rocket fuel with a high-pressure gas tank. As long as a simple deceleration is carried out, this hollow stainless steel cylinder can be directly 'smashed back' for reuse—the first consideration at that time was the same as Lan Fang's consideration: if it rushed into the sky just to take a look, it was meaningless. After all, there is no one to compete with us, and there will be no prize for the first one to go to heaven. Until you can actually use the resources of the universe, there is not much point in going up and taking a look. So we want to go to heaven in one step! It's just that it's just a little bit of a problem right now. ”

"Structure?"

"The structure is not a problem, the structural part of the structure has been strengthened with divine chrome, which is generally sufficient. And it's enough, after reinforcing it, it's just convenient to recycle it when it comes back. Now the trouble is that this one is not easy to drive, because there is no good way to do it except to let people go up and drive. The first two times were blown up, and they began to roll in mid-air, and finally the Qi Practitioner parachuted down, but after all, there was no need to stuff the Celestial Man into the barrel, and the Qi Practitioner was able to open this new test, and we added the torch fuel infused by Ying Tian Production, which should be more stable. If it goes well, my senior brother will be able to land at the landing site cleared by the Lanfang fleet yesterday after a few weeks around the earth, and he will eject and parachute before landing. Well, good luck to the Water Dragon No. 4 arrow. If all goes well, we'll be able to hear the water dragon in a few days. ”
