Chapter 673: Many Things
The Isana has a strange appearance, like a big red whale with its mouth wide open.
Maybe it’s because Isana herself is more childlike? The whale's eyes, teeth and other parts have been carefully reproduced.
Apart from making the image of the big whale more realistic, these "organs" seem to have no substantive function.
With such a unique shape, let alone an airship that has more requirements for "aerodynamics", it can be considered quite rebellious even when placed among all kinds of strange surface ships.
But this airship flies so steadily!
The side frames used to stabilize the hull on both sides of the hull have been transformed into wide flying wings, which not only stabilizes the hull, but also greatly increases the deck area.
The large propellers installed at the front end of the air bag and the tail of the whale made the airship extremely fast and maneuverable, which surprised Gordon.
In the years since he became a hunter, he has flown on almost every type of airship.
From hot air balloons that have no power and can only travel with the wind, to small airships that can only carry one or two people, to various types of transport boats, passenger ships, experimental high-speed airships, and even Ryūli Institute which consumes countless resources The giant in the sky that was built.
He rode them all.
The strange-looking Isana of the brigade is still unable to compare with the Dragon Sense ship in terms of ride experience and performance in all aspects.
But compared with conventional large-scale airships, it definitely shines.
"Awesome ship, isn't it!" Seeing the wonder in Gordon's eyes, Isana, the designer, said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"It's really awesome!" Gordon gave a thumbs up. "Of all the aircraft I have ever flown in, the only one that is faster and more stable than this one is the Dragon Sense Ship."
"Have you ever been on a Dragon Consciousness Ship?!" Isana came closer with eyes shining.
How could she, who dreams of becoming a top craftsman, not be interested in the Dragon Sense Ship, a super aircraft that is the crystallization of humanity's cutting-edge technology?
"Of course!"
As the only one in Yinbian who has never actually been on the Long Shi Ship, but only visited the ship before its maiden voyage, Feng Ying has a look on her face that says, "I am very knowledgeable."
"Feng Ying Feng Ying! Is there also a dragon gun on the Longshi ship?"
"Yes! There's more than one, if I remember correctly, there are three!"
"You remembered wrongly, two bodies."
"Does it have a stabilizer or a side frame? Do you think it relies on the huge hull to maintain stability?"
"I didn't see any stabilizing wings, I guess there aren't any!"
"It has a small stabilizing wing and no side frame, but it can connect to other large airships to form a stable aerial platform."
The two little girls of similar age were in high spirits. You dared to ask random questions and I dared to answer randomly.
If it weren't for Anhil, who couldn't see enough, correcting her from time to time, Isana's understanding of the Dragon Sense Ship might have been skewed somewhere.
Looking back, I saw that the hazy Latio volcanic mountains had disappeared at the end of my field of vision.
"Uh-huh -" Gordon stretched his waist, feeling particularly comfortable.
The unknown journey always makes people full of expectations.
"Brother Gordon!"
Hearing someone calling him, Gordon looked up and found the brigade leader waving to him at the helm of the bow.
He walked over and said hello to the group leader and the dragon craftsman responsible for driving the Isana.
"It's so rare, isn't Hayata with you?" the group leader joked.
After being teased many times, Gordon has gradually become accustomed to this old guy's joking ways, so he said indifferently: "She went to help Pandan put on the hair cream. Do you want to call her?"
The leader smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, it's just, um, I want to ask Brother Gordon about something."
"About Sinard Village?" Gordon knew it without guessing.
"Um."
The team leader did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "The Xiqi Kingdom is originally an isolated enclave overseas, and the Sinard Village on the Sky Mountain is even more isolated from the world.
Most of the information about there comes from rumors, and very few people have actually been there.
By chance, Hayata said that Brother Gordon, you have been there before, so if possible, we hope to get some information from you. "
Gordon crossed his arms and asked with inquiring eyes, "I can share my original experience and what I saw and heard, but I also have a question that I would like to ask you first."
"Haha, of course, you say."
"Why didn't you ask until now?"
"Huh?"
Gordon's eyes were filled with inquiry: "You probably just know about my visit to Sinard Village, Hayata must have told you before.
Besides, you are very familiar with Julius and Nadia. The three of us went to Sky Mountain together.
Why didn't you ask me, or Julius and the others, for information earlier, and why didn't you start asking until now when we set off? "
The team leader touched his gray beard, and before he could say anything, the taciturn and rarely spoken processing officer next to him said, "Because, that's the kind of person he is."
Gordon didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"This can be regarded as a personal habit of mine, or selfishness."
The leader smiled and answered: "Indeed, I have many ways to get detailed information about Sinard Village, whether it is through the guild's channels, asking old friends, asking Julius and the others, or asking Brother Gordon in advance You can actually do it.
But if you know everything in advance and plan everything, what’s the point of the journey?
I like the ‘unknown’ and enjoy the ‘surprise’.
As long as there is nothing too urgent, I prefer to explore and discover slowly by myself, this is the fun of traveling.
It’s like reading a book, and turning directly to the last page, what’s the point? ”
That’s right
Gordon had a flash of understanding in his mind.
In fact, with the connections and resources that the old man in charge of the regiment has, why should he build an airship from scratch to go to Xinad Village? Collecting materials and waiting for transformation, it will waste several months.
Directly borrow a medium-sized or large airship to carry the members of the brigade directly to Xinad Village, isn’t it more efficient?
It seems that this old man is still a romanticist.
Of course, this is a nice way of saying it.
If Ansel were to evaluate this mentality, he would probably say mercilessly, “It’s a troublesome thing to ask for trouble.”
“So Brother Gordon, regarding the information about Xinad Village, please simply share some ‘notes’, such as what special customs, rules or taboos there are.
As for the scenery, the environment, the people, and the things, I'll leave it to you, the old man, to discover with my own eyes. "
You're asking for a lot
Gordon complained in his heart, but still answered seriously: "Regarding the taboos of Xinaide Village, well, there are indeed two.
One is that the people of Xinaide Village worship the wind, which is a kind of religious worship. There are many small windmills in the village. Don't touch or destroy them at will, or they will get angry.
The second is that they have a forbidden area, don't get close to it.
In fact, regarding these two points, someone will naturally remind us after we go there, so it doesn't matter whether we say it now or not. "
"Is that so." The head of the brigade nodded, indicating that he had taken note.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Gordon suddenly had some mischievous ideas in his mind.
He continued: "I suddenly remembered something. Since we are going to Xinaide Village to inquire about the news of the pure white dragon scale, it would be better to prepare in advance. "
"Oh? What do you mean? "The brigade leader asked curiously.
"If you don't mind, let's take a short detour before heading to Sky Mountain. How about going to Jiangbo Village first? The head of Jiangbo Village is from Xinade Village." Gordon deliberately left the words unsaid.
"Jiangbo Village? The pioneer village that has been newly developed in recent years, yes, it's on the way, it's not bad to go and take a look! "
Gordon grinned.
The relationship between the brothers and the true identity of the chief monk are not secrets in Xinard Village, but they are somewhat "suspenseful".
Does this count as a spoiler?
Ps.
For readers who have not played the game, I would like to emphasize that the leader's investigation of the pure white dragon scale was not due to any crisis. He accidentally obtained a piece of strange dragon scale and conducted a travel-style investigation around it, so he had this "romantic" mentality.
Also, several characters from the official novel will appear in Jiangbo Village. "Soul Heir" is my favorite among the official novels. You can search for the physical book on Taobao, and there are also resources in the group. 0v0
