But in this way, the gourd is moving on the surface of the water in a staccato manner. Due to the fact that the inertia is sometimes large and sometimes small, it is really difficult for the passengers on the hoist to have any comfort at all.

And that's not even the most serious problem. The most serious problem was that Jigong had no experience in how to solve the problem of water resistance in ship design. Since it is powered by the gourd nozzle jet, the hoist inevitably moves forward with its head forward...... In this case, when the gourd is advancing, it not only bends left and right, rotates sharply, and even has the danger of overturning when the resistance is large, but also has to rely on Jigong to move his position in time and change the counterweight of the "Xianhu" to solve the problem.

Therefore, although on the whole, the "Xianhu" is still moving forward, but the efficiency is too low, and after advancing once or twice, it must stop and correct its course.

It was getting late, and the sea and the sky were getting a little indistinguishable.

"You can't do this at all!" finally exclaimed Wu Ge, who was dazed by the bumps and spins. "This is completely inconsistent with fluid mechanics...... You should find a way to keep the small head of the gourd facing forward. ”

"But with the little head forward, we'll go backwards. ”

Jigong scratched his head and said.

"I mean...... Can't you find a way to make the little head inhale and then drill a hole in the bottom of the hoist for air jet......ting? Wow!"

The gourd slammed forward, and Wu Ge had no choice but to hug the gourd tightly and shut up for the time being.

"You have a point. But in that case, won't the gourd leak?

"You can take something else and fill it with wine. Wu Ge exclaimed in annoyance. "Anyway, I'm ...... Huh?"

Wu Ge's master and apprentice shut up at the same time, staring vigilantly beneath the water.

"Gore. What do you think?" said Jigong, "Could it be an outsider?"

"Master Di, I don't think so. I think ......."

"Who is Master Di?"

"Uh? I...... Master, don't do it!"

――――7788――――

"Suddenly gone?"

"yes...... One second we were on that miniature submarine, and the next we were all overboard. ”

The frogman said confusedly.

"How is this possible?"

The captain scratched his chin and muttered to himself.

"That'...... What details did you notice before the submarine disappeared?"

He asked again.

"Uh......"

The frogman looked uncertain.

"I think they're probably not enemies. Finally he said, "Because I feel that they are more powerful than me, but they seem to have stopped resisting on their own initiative." ”

"Active stop?"

"Yes...... The young man also said to the old man, 'Master, don't do it.'" ”

"Master?"

The captain was even more confused.

The confidential phone on the desk rang.

"Okay, you can go out first. ”

The captain said to the frogman. Then pick up the phone.

"Hey, Commissar...... How do you know? I haven't ...... yet. Oh okay, then I'll let them go. What the. Let Kobayashi solve the ...... Which Kobayashi?"

――――7788――――

"Sergeant Lin, are you sure it's okay?"

The special operations captain asked incredulously as he looked at the two captives, who were firmly held in place by handcuffs and shackles.

It's a joke to have an ordinary engineer handle this alone. He muttered to himself.

Sergeant Lin said with confidence:

"You can rest assured. It's okay. ”

"That. I'm waiting outside. Call me if you have something. ”

The captain walked out of the cabin suspiciously.

As soon as the hatch was closed, Sergeant Lin was a standard salute.

"Hello, Mr. Wu. ”

He said loudly. At the same time, the shackles on Wu Ge and Jigong's bodies automatically fell down with a clatter.

"Unexpectedly, there were also organized people on the warship...... The superiors found out about this so quickly?"

Wu Ge asked with a grin.

"Yes, the superiors have contacted the fleet and asked to release you. ”

"Well, I'm still wondering if to sneak out or break out...... So who are you?"

"I'm Lin Haifeng from the second branch...... Head of Coach Wu. I'll have to ask you to take care of me in the future. ”

"I just teach. Wu Ge smiled, "You practice hard." When you get to that point, I will naturally take care of you. ”

"Thanks, hehe. ”

――――7788――――

"Master, you better forget it. Wu Ge said helplessly. "At your speed, let alone going to the UK, you don't know how long it will take to get out of this military restricted area...... We can't keep causing trouble to people, don't you?"

They are still on the surface of the sea, still on the gourd. After sailing all night, Wu Ge couldn't bear to move forward in this way.

"Don't worry, the master is trying to figure out how to adjust. ”

Jigong muttered.

"No matter how much you adjust, it won't change substantially. Wu Ge said very dryly, "Besides, how much can you increase its speed by adjusting it?, I didn't think that you would want to go to England in this way, and you didn't have enough fresh water in reserve." ”

Jigong didn't open his mouth. He is still obsessed with the idea of perfecting the function of his magic weapon.

"Besides, I don't think we're going in the wrong direction at all. ”

Wu Ge looked at the sky and said faintly.

"Isn't it going in the wrong direction?"

Jigong asked.

"It's true that we're going overseas, but it's a big deal. ”

Wu Ge himself had some doubts, but he really didn't learn much geography...... For a long time, Chinese people have indeed used "overseas" to refer to foreign countries, and in this regard, it is of course necessary to cross the sea to go abroad. But, on the other hand, this time they are going to England. The old capitalist countries such as Britain are generally referred to as "Western".

But now they're clearly heading east.

"Are you sure?

Jigong asked in surprise.

Wu Ge's eyes rolled up to the sky.

"Well, this ......"

"Look at you, you don't even know the way when you go out. ”

Jigong complained.

"Blame me? I said I was flying, but you want to ...... I thought you knew the direction. ”

Wu Ge retorted.

"That's it. Ji Gong said curtly. "But I heard that the earth is round, anyway, ......"

"By the time we get around, the outsiders will already be here. Wu Ge said, "Don't speak, let me think about it......"

His eyes widened, trying to remember the map of the world he had studied when he was trapped on the world's largest island.

"Yes, it's the West. In the end, he affirmed, "We are now in the East China Sea, and Britain is in ...... North-west. ”

"Are you sure?"

Jigong asked.

"I'm sure. You better put away the gourd, and we'll fly back and find a way to book a ticket. If you're lucky......"

"I still hope to have the opportunity to ......"

Ji said openly.

"Don't count on it. Wu Ge said, "This road used to be basically land, and I want to try your gourd and find another opportunity." ”

"Okay...... But I don't think it's safe to fly. Let's fly over. ”

Jigong said very thoughtfully.

"Fly over? You mean all the way over?"

"yes...... Can you fly both ways?"

Wu Ge glared at Jigong.

"How much does it take? How long does it take?"

Jigong smiled slightly.

"There's another way to fly long haul. "It's fast, and it doesn't consume much air." ”

"Oh...... Then why didn't you teach me?"

"Uh...... You didn't ask. ”

――――7788――――

They made their way through the clouds to the sky, and along the way, Jigong taught Wu Ge the tricks of long-distance flight.

"Is that so? Decide the direction and fly blindly at high speed?"

Wu Ge gasped.

"If I'm not mistaken," he said, looking around and worried, "this altitude should be the experimental altitude of a hypersonic vehicle." These kinds of experiments have been very frequent lately, in case we are confronted head-on during the flight......"

"It won't be that coincidental. Jigong said disapprerovingly, "You must know that many immortals have flown at high speed at this altitude, and there has almost never been a collision accident." ”

"Almost?"

"That means basically nothing. ”

"Basic?"

"That is, in general......"

"In general?"

"Do you have to say 'absolutely' to the master?"

Jigong was a little helpless.

"Shouldn't I have asked for that?" Wu Ge asked rhetorically. "When this happens, it kills people. How likely do you think you will be able to continue practicing after a high-speed impact?"

"At first you may be uncomfortable, but after two attempts, you'll be able to steer at high speeds...... It's not as scary as you might think. ”

Jigong comforted.

"Well, well. ”

Wu Ge sighed and said.

"But you're going to fly ahead. (To be continued......)
