Chapter 1129 “Mysterious Thing”

"Your Highness Tilly... her ability is not flying, right?" Nightingale murmured.

"Well, although the flying magic stone can also make her fly, it won't work if she carries such a heavy weight," Roland replied, looking at the Unicorn hovering above her head, "What's wrong?"

"Although I have heard you say it many times, and I have been watching you when I was drawing pictures and testing internal combustion engines, but when I see it with my own eyes, I still find it incredible...people can really fly like a bird with the help of external objects." Nightingale said with emotion, "That's obviously just a pile of metal and wood."

"It is indeed just metal and wood, but what combines them organically is ourselves," Roland said with a smile, "hands, magic, and cognition... so it cannot really be called the power of external objects."

"Everyone - can fly like her?" Nightingale whispered, "Including me -"

"Well, everyone. Including you." Roland confirmed. The sky is no stranger to Nightingale. She has taken a ride in a hot air balloon and also taken a ride on Maisie, but those are obviously nothing before the free and controlled flight. Even a nightingale with magical powers is like this, let alone an ordinary person with no special abilities? The charm of soaring in the sky, from the moment people raise their heads to the sky, they have been deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

The pioneer of the Odd Objects Society is the best explanation.

Thirty minutes later, the Unicorn landed steadily on the runway.

"How do you feel?" Roland asked Tilly, who ran over excitedly.

"This aircraft is really great!" Her eyes were shining. "In terms of feel, it is countless times more flexible than the Seagull. To be honest... although Wendy's wind control ability is not bad, it is still difficult. It is completely consistent with my intention, but this one is different. Every detail of the speed, pitch, and deflection during flight is under my control. It can be said that the movement comes from the heart, just like the hands and feet!"

Uh...the movements come from the heart, and they are shaped like limbs? Roland couldn't help but feel ashamed. Although the Unicorn referenced a large number of mature biplane designs, it was still essentially a prototype with crude technology and testing components. Controlling the rudder surface is all done by hand, and height and speed are all based on feeling. Being able to fly smoothly is already a huge improvement. If he didn't know the aircraft thoroughly and just listened to Tilly's description, he would have thought that the other party was flying a modern fighter aircraft with quadruple-degree telex and computer-assisted flight control.

Maybe this is the boss.

"So...satisfied?" He waved to the hangar supervisor, "That's it for today -"

"What are you talking about, brother," Tilly interrupted, "How can thirty minutes be enough?"

"Then you fell down..."

"I want to tell you. You still have a lot of work to do, don't you?" She waved her hand, "Go, you don't have to guard me here, I still have many flying methods that I want to try. .”

Looking at the other party's back as he left in a hurry, Roland shook his head helplessly.

The plane did not malfunction at the beginning, so it was considered to have reached the expected level. According to Tilly's level, she should be familiar with the new features of the unicorn quickly. In addition, she can escape from the plane at any time, so there is really no need for her to keep watching.

"It seems that you are disliked." Nightingale said happily.

"You talk a lot," Roland rolled his eyes at her, "Let's go."

Nightingale smiled and grabbed him and escaped into the mist.

…

As soon as he returned to the castle hall, he was greeted by personal guards, "Your Majesty, the Third Border City has sent word that the mission you assigned has basically come to fruition."

"Oh?" Roland raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the report?"

"The other side said that I hope you can go there in person."

It seems that what the two people discovered in Daqing Port cannot be explained clearly in a few words. He thought for a moment and said, "I understand, let's set off now."

After entering the underground, Celine was already waiting for him in the main hall.

She stretched out her whiskers and showed the two samples in front of Roland.

"The quantity is sufficient...approximately how much?"

Uh... You're really welcome. Even if the sample sent is not big, a few thousand yuan can cover the floor of a room. He thought to himself that from this point of view, it was imperative to excavate the "Cape Ruins", and the sooner the better. "I'll have someone collect it. What about the other one?"

"Emitting particles."

Celine picked out a slice of "stone tablet" from the bottle on the right and put it in Roland's hand.

"With... Shasha...?" Roland said in surprise.

"Well..." He played with the sample in his hand and thought for a long time before he said, "You can't say that."

"Do you know what this thing is?"

"That's not true, I just thought of something else..." Roland said slowly, "Since matter is a combination of elements, in addition to the elements themselves, structure is also a major factor that affects its properties. We find it strange. It’s just because we know too little.”

Just like the carbon element, which is called diamond in its tetrahedral structure, it has extremely high strength; while graphite, which has a hexagonal layered structure, is so brittle that it can be broken by hand. If one layer is torn off, it is graphene, which has excellent conductivity. But when two layers of graphene are stacked together and rotated at a slight angle to each other, it will undergo a completely different change - becoming an insulator. After lowering it to a certain temperature and injecting electrons, it will transform into a superconductor.

From beginning to end, only carbon is performing.

This is the secret of materials.

In fact, even in later generations, the exploration of the microscopic world has only opened up a tiny corner. In this dark field without theoretical guidance, what people do is no different from what it did thousands of years ago - arranging and combining, randomly groping, Even the most common elements can produce shocking phenomena when mixed together.

The "Luminous Stone Tablet" and Sylvie's various coatings may not be mysterious because of magic power.

It's mysterious because people know so little.
