Chapter 221, embark on the journey again
After the collapse of the tomb, the buildings on the ground began to slowly collapse, first the temple and then the entire square. In less than three days, the entire central area completely collapsed. Eventually, along the original boxy river, the entire central area became a square lake of 1,000 feet in length and width.
Bluestone released the Xuanhu and moored it in the lake, and they stayed on the boat. It's just that a few of them didn't expect that this stay would be a full three years.
As the Divine Tomb collapsed and sank underwater, the originally rich evil aura in this area dissipated, and the aura was much less.
The collapsed boulder blocked the passage that was originally connected to the sea, and the sea spirits had escaped before that.
Without the evil spirit, the beasts of prey and birds of prey on land and in the sky can enter this area. But the beasts on land can't get into the water and climb onto the ship, and when they do, they will only be killed by the vigilant puppet warriors.
The strange birds and gold-billed birds in the sky have come a few times, but the Xuanhu is not a true qi airship, and after shelling it a few times, they no longer dare to attack.
Therefore, on this wild island infested with fierce beasts, Qingshi and them are very safe, and they will no longer be chased and killed by these fierce beasts when they first arrived on the island.
The reason why I stayed for three years was helpless. Without the True Qi Airship, they would not be able to sail far. Less than 10,000 miles to the southeast, islands will begin to appear. It was a sea called the Sea of Dark Clouds, but even if there was a Xuanhu, they didn't dare to rely on it to cross this ocean.
Qingshi's idea is still to fly through the air, so for three years, he has been working on new flying machines. And now, he's done.
On the foredeck of the Xuanhu, there was a small spaceship eight zhang long, one zhang high, and only one zhang and five feet wide, which Qingshi bought for a huge amount of money before leaving Xiaomei Island.
At that time, they bought a total of two ships and six airships, which was the largest and best ship, and this one alone cost ten dragon balls. Of the eight spaceships, only half of them are left.
The difference between a spaceship and an airship is that a spaceship has a deck with cabins above and below deck, whereas an airship has only one concave large cabin.
This small spaceship has very good performance, equipped with spirit stone drives, and the straight bottom of the ship is lined up with three circular drive rings with a diameter of six feet in the front, middle and back, and it can also fly hundreds of feet in the air on an island where the aura is thin.
Now, the ship has changed a lot from its original appearance, the hull is more slender and sturdy, there are three separate small cabins below the deck, the cabins above the deck have been removed, and only near the tail is a dense cloud silk roof that can shelter from the wind and rain and the sun.
Bluestone also added a circle to the ship. The magic circle generates an invisible energy barrier that wraps the entire spaceship, which can not only block the line of sight, play a certain role in stealth, but also have good defense capabilities, at least those strange birds don't want to destroy.
There is also a gun emplacement reserved on each side of the ship, in order not to increase the weight of the hull, Bluestone does not install the two matching cannons on the gun emplacement, but if necessary, Bluestone can take the cannon out of the storage at any time and put it on.
The biggest change was that a full sixteen 'kegs' were hung on both sides of the hull with metal shelves, eight on the left and eight on the left. 'Wine barrel' is the name given by Duan Wutian, and of course it is not a real wine barrel.
This is a new type of driving weapon that resembles a pot-bellied wine barrel in shape and size, and according to Bluestone, this is a 'Lingshi Amethyst Hybrid Jet Aero Engine'.
"Let's go!" Duan Wutian stood in the airship and shouted excitedly, "It's three years to stay on this broken island, and it's boring." ”
"That's it," Chen Tianye on the side said with a pleased smile, "Not only is it boring, but I also beat the iron with a sledgehammer day after day, and I'm tired to death!" Now it's finally the end of the hard days! ”
"It's not boring!" Chubby leaned on the side of the boat, tilted his head and said, "This island is very fun!" ”
Qingshi smiled slightly, for their remarks, Qingshi naturally understood the truth.
In the past three years, Xiaopang has been riding the puppet Yanlong all day long, either going up the mountain to catch birds or going down to the sea to catch fish, or running into the forest, chasing those vicious birds and beasts.
As long as it is a spirit animal that he likes, whether it is a small turtle or a big bull, he will be captured and returned to the egg house. If it weren't too big and too hard to put into the egg house, Yanlong and Viper would be taken in by him as pets. Now, his egg house is simply a zoo.
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian were forced to work as coolies, smelting metals, forging parts, etc., almost all year round, if it weren't for the fact that Qingshi worked harder than them to design, process, build, and test the driving spirit weapon, they would have quit a long time ago.
Even worse than them is Xiang An, he has not been out of the egg house once for three years, he has to translate cheats every day, and he has to help Xiaopang take care of his pets, becoming a translator and breeder.
"Let's go!" Qingshi was also in excellent spirits today, shouted loudly, and then launched the airship.
I saw that sixteen 'barrels' were all facing vertically, and the bottom of twelve of them spewed hot gas, and the spacecraft slowly rose under the impetus of the reaction force, and flew off the deck of the Xuanhu. The ship only needs a minimum of eight 'kegs' to fly.
With a wave of his hand, the huge Xuanhu instantly retracted and disappeared.
Qingshi's mind turned, and the spiritual power controlled the drive device by controlling the array disk, and among the twelve 'wine barrels' that did the work, the front and rear two slowly turned sideways, becoming parallel to the hull of the ship, with the vent facing the rear, so the spaceship began to move forward while rising.
After the spacecraft flew nearly a thousand feet in the air, it could no longer rise, and its flight altitude was far inferior to that of the True Qi spaceship, but fortunately, the weather was very good on this day, the sky was clear, there was not a trace of floating clouds in the sky, and the wind was very soft. Bluestone piloted the spaceship smoothly and headed southwest.
Soon, Qingshi locked the direction and let the spacecraft fly autonomously, and he relaxed himself, looking at the white clouds and blue sea under his feet, as well as the smaller and smaller islands, and feeling in a very good mood.
After flying into the sky, Qingshi looked into the distance, and found that there was not only one island in this area, but more than a dozen small islands around it. It's just that they all seem deserted. Naturally, Qingshi also felt that there was no need to explore them one by one.
Qingshi said to Xiaopang: "Let's start today, let Lao Xiang come out and have a look, let the wind go!" So, in the next moment, Xiang An suddenly appeared on the deck of the spaceship with a few pages of paper.
Xiang An was stunned for a moment, and then became excited, the past three years have undoubtedly suffocated him.
Everyone was very happy and laughed happily for a long time. Then, Xiaopang said that he wanted to go back to sleep and asked Xiang An to go back together.
Xiang An begged: "Fat brother, boss Qingshi, let me stay a little longer." By the way, what about the flywheel? I'll kick it, and I won't have to stop breathing for three days and three nights! ”
"Now you don't need to be human-driven!" Qingshi smiled, "We have said goodbye to the human propeller and entered the era of automatic jets!" ”
Bluestone's 'wine barrels' are veritable jet engines.
Lingshi will slowly release aura under natural conditions, and Qingshi originally wanted to use magic to speed up this process to achieve jet propulsion.
He had already found a spell to quickly release the aura in the spirit stone, and when he was in the Poseidon Tomb, he used this spell to create a bubble space, so that the energy cannon could have the environmental conditions to fire, because the energy cannon could not be fired in water.
However, this technique is uncontrollable.
Later, Qingshi studied the principle of the Seagod Tomb Array Cannon, and he found that the evil qi of amethyst stone was the best medium for the spirit stone aura to be released and controllable.
Under the stimulation of specific spells, amethyst stones can instantly burst out with a large amount of evil qi, and this evil qi can also induce spirit stones to burst out with a huge amount of spiritual energy in an instant.
The Poseidon Array Cannon takes advantage of the interaction between this spirit stone and amethyst stone.
In the small and sealed space of the gun chamber, two gases are released instantaneously, forming a huge pressure, and when the pressure reaches a threshold, an explosion will occur, and the propulsion generated by the explosion will push the shell out along the barrel, which is how the array gun works.
The same principle is true for explosive shells, which are hollow and filled with a very high concentration of evil qi and aura, which have been liquefied, and when the fired cannonball hits the target, the pressure of the impact will cause the evil qi and aura to react violently and explode.
Through research, Qingshi found that this process can also be reversed, that is to say, the evil qi can be slowly released through improved spells, so as to induce the spiritual energy of the spirit stone to be released at the speed you want, so that you can achieve slow release and controllable.
Of course, this revival-release is relative to the explosion.
In the 'wine barrel', the mixture of evil qi and spiritual energy produces high temperature and high pressure, and the bluestone controls the speed of the gas overflow so that it does not reach the pressure of the explosion, so that the high-temperature expanding gas is continuously discharged through a nozzle, which realizes the jet propulsion.
The principle is simple, but it is a very complex project to design and manufacture a spirit weapon that can be used to achieve jet propulsion and control. With the cultivation of the formation path and instrument path of the bluestone, plus the help of Duan Chen and the others, it also took three full years to complete.
In fact, the jet propulsion they make is very immature, because there are no precision measuring instruments and lathes, all the parts are made by hand or with simple tools, and the finished product is not only rough and ugly in appearance, but also difficult to guarantee its performance.
As a result, eight 'kegs' were originally enough to levitate the spaceship and allow it to fly, and Bluestone installed sixteen of them to be safe. But as crude as it is, this jet ship is already the greatest technological invention on the planet.
Xiang An was dumbfounded, only then did he notice the invention of the bluestone genius, and he was amazing.
Xiaopang was impatient and immediately wanted to take Xiang An back to the egg house.
Qingshi stopped Xiaopang and asked him to wait, saying that he had something to ask Xiang An.
"Old Xiang," Qingshi asked, "how many have you translated those two secret books?" Haven't finished it for three years? ”
"You think it's a storybook?" Xiang An said angrily, "This is a martial art and martial arts, at least a high-level martial arts above the middle grade of the prefecture level!" And I can't even recognize the words on it. I'll translate it to you literally, and you can learn it by following it? So, I can only try to cultivate by myself first, and after I find that the cultivation method is correct, I can translate it according to my own experience. ”
"Of course I know what you're saying," Aoshi said, "but you have to learn all about it before you can translate?" Maybe it will take you twenty or thirty years to succeed in cultivation, so why don't you just let us wait twenty or thirty years? ”
"What are you waiting for twenty or thirty years?" Xiang An said angrily, "I have been locked up in that zoo for decades, do you think I am willing? ”
"So I'll let you translate as soon as possible!" Qingshi comforted, "Finish it early and liberate it early!" ”
"Of course I hope it's going to be soon," Xiang An said, "You don't need to be successful in cultivation, as long as you understand the correct cultivation method." I'm now translating while interpreting and practicing, and I've completed nearly half of the water source technique, and I've also completed the first part of the sword technique. I said, can't you just let me come out and breathe all the time? ”
"I'm doing this for your own good," Qingshi chuckled in a low voice, "so that you can be motivated!" You are concentrating on cultivation inside, and by the time you finish the translation, these two cheats should at least be cultivated, and then you won't be afraid of Seventh Brother and Amano, right? It's not like they're being bullied by them all the time. ”
"That's right!" Xiang An nodded.
"Alright," Aoshi said, "Translate with peace of mind and practice diligently." By the way, I have something here that can definitely help you, but I'm just lending it to you, and I'll have to pay it back when I run out. ”
Qingshi said and took out a small incense burner and handed it over, it was the dark gold agarwood burner given by Mo Sihai in the past.
Dark gold agarwood is the first auxiliary artifact for cultivating enlightenment, Xiang An naturally knew it, and immediately took it happily, his frustration was swept away, and he happily followed Xiaopang back.
