Chapter 1538 Unknown Territory

"Self-check of propeller and rudder, are they functioning normally?" Ezio asked, remembering the warnings in those miscellaneous notes.

The inspection device is separate from the operating system, so the Twin Griffins don't have to make short jerky movements to prove that external equipment is functioning properly. The monitor reported truthfully: "Normal operation."

After receiving these four reassuring words, Ezio breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no height limit for the airship, but the people inside do. This statement is actually questionable. If all the magicians really rely on magic to adapt to the environment, is there really no airship that can reach such a height?

The real situation is that after exceeding a certain altitude, the airship's overall operating status will decline, and eventually it will even stop. And then there was a heroic fall...

Because there is no digitized information in the old records, everything is based on feeling. Ezio was not sure whether he had exceeded the threshold in those books, so he would naturally be worried. However, the Twin Griffins can return safely, which is definitely a pioneering work.

As for whether it was a record-breaking moment, whether it was considered a record-breaking moment, or whether it was time to challenge the limit, he didn't consider such things at all. The priority is still the mission of rescuing people.

Such a mood also follows the rising sun, which shines through the double-layered viewing window made of magic crystal into the command room that only maintains minimum lighting. The brightness of the sun seemed to herald a happy ending this time.

To be able to achieve such a result, the one who was most surprised among everyone was the baron sitting in the captain's seat. Their family has served the Kawi family for generations and is highly trusted, so they can sit in this position today.

And he has been the captain of the Twin Griffin since he took it over. In the years before the war with the devil, he cherished the dream of one day building an airship army for the Kavi family, and was extremely familiar with all the functions of the Twin Griffins.

Therefore, the Baron knew very well that this altitude of more than 10,000 meters was beyond the reach of all airships, and it was also a height that the Twin Griffins could not reach.

In other words, the airship can be used, but the people riding in it cannot. It doesn't even have to reach 10,000 meters, but only after climbing to about half the height, the people inside should start to have problems. How can it be like now, everyone is still alive and kicking.

So in disbelief, he simply left the captain's position and came to the monitor, personally operated the console and checked various data. This kind of operation is not a problem for the Baron who is familiar with airships.

Ezio also left his original position, but came to the radar table.

In the process of climbing, they had actually crossed the Fengdi Mountain Range, ignoring the cursed wind and snow and the passage, and came to the other side of the mountain. The investigation mission has officially started.

So Ezio wanted to know how accurately the Arcane Eyes could detect at such a height. As long as they are accurate enough, they can stay at this safe height and complete the reconnaissance mission. Just seeing the clouds right below him, Ezio didn't feel that anyone other than the gods could threaten them.

But it backfired. Although biological reactions can be detected, they are basically all in the same lake, let alone distinguishing which ones are humans, which are half-orcs or demons.

In other words, if they want to get accurate information, the only way is to lower their altitude. It may even be as low as visible to the naked eye.

Ezio was a little dissatisfied with this result. He also thought about changing the direction and returning to the Holy City first to play with a certain magician's mutated arcane eyes that were transformed into evil gods.

But it was too late to do so. Not to mention the question of whether the new equipment can be installed on the airship and whether it can operate normally after installation. The mission deadline was very tight, and he didn't have time to do those idle things. This should have been done before.

Since you haven’t done it yet, then use the existing conditions to find a way to complete the task to the best of your ability. If he didn't have the ability to overcome difficulties, Ezio's position as commander would be in vain.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let's do the first reconnaissance at this altitude and scan the area we are responsible for. After confirming where there are biological reactions, mark the places with a large number of reactions. Then plan the shortest reconnaissance at low altitude. Route, confirm who is at each gathering place. This time, I will take the two of you as the leader. If you have questions, ask them, and if you need help, just talk. Okay?"

The two older children, both from elementary school, nodded seriously.

Ezio's name was difficult to pronounce again. The other person happened to be the only person on the airship with a title, so the captain, who was nicknamed by his title, said: "Baron, you should follow their route arrangement." Plan. I'm going to check the situation in each cabin. If you want to know about the high-altitude issue, I'll tell you when I get back."

Looking at the captain's eyes, Ezio knew that this guy who was sent to learn something would definitely be very interested in the improvement of the airship. But now is not the time.

The captain also knew that this was not the right time, so he just bowed and said, "Okay, General."

Although he has a noble title, he is older than the young man in front of him. But since he was assigned to work under Ezio, his performance has convinced this new generation member of the Kavi-affiliated family.

Putting aside the affairs in the command room, Ezio patrolled around the Twin Griffins. In addition to confirming the normality of each place, it is also necessary to reassure all occupants.

You know, they are now at a height that other airships have never reached. Or there may be, but no living person can prove that an airship accomplished such an achievement.

Before any initiative, one must be in awe and be cautious. Because this is an area that no one has touched, it is normal for things to happen that no one knows about. In order to avoid uncontrollable accidents, we must do the best we can.

The above is someone's warning. The man didn't say it with a sincere attitude, but mentioned it casually as if he was feeling emotional. He didn't care at all whether the people listening took it seriously.

Ezio once sneered, but whenever he thought of the lost girl, he had to admit that caution was necessary. You can't make the same mistakes again, not to mention being called stupid by others, and you can't even forgive yourself.

In any case, Ezio is a bit picky when it comes to safety. He would not pass the blame on to others blindly, but he would not be able to reassure himself without going through the process himself.

After a patrol, in addition to checking the conditions of the crew members, I also reminded them to look out of the viewing window if possible. They were now at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a height that no one had ever reached.

These words seemed to be showing off, but they were actually explaining the climbing behavior just now. To put it harshly, if the sealing of the Twin Griffins is not good enough and there is a problem with the cabin environment maintenance system, Ezio will be making a fool of the lives of the entire ship.

But now that you are successful, you must convey your confident attitude and guide everyone's thoughts with results. Solve the hidden dangers that may arise at an unknown time in advance, or soothe the emotions that may arise.

The most important thing is that they are safe at this height, even though this place is already occupied by demons. This makes many people feel at ease.

Although Ezio also made it clear that he would still lower his altitude for reconnaissance in the future. But of course those with a flexible mind will figure out one thing. This height is like a safe zone that can be reached at any time, without having to flee all the way south and cross the mountains to reach a safe place.

Of course, the sealing condition of each cabin must also be checked.

There is no rubber in Midi, there is no tea in Midi, and there are not many things that my hometown has. This is about to become someone’s complaint.

But fortunately, rubber can still find a replacement for the midi version. It was a specific type of ooze monster that, after special treatment, could become an excellent magic material with rubber properties.

Although among the ooze monster samples collected by Lin, the selected species were not the best in terms of plasticity and power conductivity. But it has an advantage that other ooze monsters cannot match, that is, it is easy to breed and cultivate. This means mass production is possible.

This task is of course left to the Automotive Center. In order to establish an ooze monster farm, the difficulties encountered were more than imagined.

The most important thing is to convince people, not the breeding technology. After all, ooze monsters are low-level magical creatures no matter what, and they only act on instinct. This means that when they are hungry, 'humans' are also on their menu.

The magic moth raised in someone's house is suppressed by a black dragon. It is impossible for him to change the world. At most, he can only escape. But the slime monster kept in the car center has been involved in injuries on more than one occasion. Fortunately, the ooze monster is not strong and has not caused any deaths, but the related protection and costs have been upgraded again and again.

Although troublesome, the benefits that rubber materials bring to industrialization are difficult to estimate. The increase in horsepower of car engines and the fact that the Twin Griffins can reach such heights today are all brought about by rubber materials. These performance and efficiency benefits are all brought about by rubber materials.

But again, this is an area that no one has touched. So Ezio checked everything very carefully, for fear of something unexpected happening.

But the results appear to be satisfactory. All situations are as described in the magician's diary, including possible problems and solutions.

However, miscellaneous notes are just essays after all, so many solutions are just concepts and need to be perfected by oneself. This is also the part that worries Ezio. Now it seems that we are going in the right direction.

When he returned to the command room, the Twin Griffins were already moving forward at medium speed. The arcane eyes scanned the situation on the ground and provided rough information.

Ezio lets people present these contents directly on the map table. The light spots representing the creatures are not only dense, but also widely distributed. It looks like there are millions of troops underneath.

This was of course an abnormal phenomenon, and everyone around the map was stunned.

Ezio thought for a moment and said to the two people who operated the radar and controlled the detection results of the Arcane Eye: "Cancel the targets that are too weak. We may even catch insects, rabbits and the like."

Although the Twin Griffin version of the Arcane Eye cannot distinguish the target race, it can still distinguish the strength of the creature. With just a simple filter, you can get new results. A much simpler map is undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye.
