Chapter 107 Seratis Aircraft

"Then let's chase him quickly!" Saint Malfianna almost jumped up and rushed out.

Jibeiyar and the others saw Santa Malfianna rushing out and had no choice but to follow me. In fact, they had no hope at all of catching me. Facts also proved that their idea was correct. When Jibeiyar and three others came to the ground after Santa Mafianna, he was completely dumbfounded. There was not even a ghost in the empty city, and the huge city was as quiet as a tomb.

After Jibeiyar got to the ground, he only saw Saint Mafianna standing there, with a pile of things beside her, and a piece of crumpled paper at Saint Mafianna's feet. Jibeiyar walked over, picked up the ball of paper, opened it and looked at it. The content on the paper was written in French by Phantom's hands, and they had no problem reading it. This is a message. The content is probably to tell them that I am in a hurry so I leave first. The pile on the ground is the items left for them.

Jibeiyar and the others don't know any of these things, and they don't know what they are used for, but I know the purpose of these things very clearly. With Seratis around, I can easily know the specific uses of these things. A total of 11 items were left behind, which was just a little more than the five of them could carry. According to the Seratis explanation, these things belong to the cleaning kit, which is simply a vacuum cleaner, wall cleaning machine and some auxiliary cleaning equipment. Of course, with my personality, it is impossible to leave good things for them, but if I don't leave something, I will lose the conversation, so leaving them some soap and washing powder is considered a consolation prize.

I could clearly see Santa Marfianna's angry expression, because I didn't leave the city at all. The Son of the Night and I would have left very quickly. No one could catch up with us if we left with spears. But there are hundreds of Selatis people around us. I don't have such a huge transportation capacity to carry so many people to evacuate quickly. Each Tyrannosaurus Knight can indeed carry one person, but it won't run fast, so traveling doesn't matter. This speed is not fast enough to escape. In the end we decided to use the safest method - hiding in place.

As soon as Jibeiyar and the others came out and saw no one around, their first reaction was that we had all run away, but what they didn't know was that we were hiding in a shelter in the city and watching them. The corps beetles hiding near the entrance of the cave pass the information they hear directly back to me. I can clearly understand what they are talking about, and I can see what they are doing from all angles, but they don't know that I can see them. .

Santa Marfianna got very angry and quarreled with Gibeyaer. I'm no longer here and Santa Marfiana can't even find someone to get angry at, so she can only quarrel with Jibeiyar. The quarrel ended quickly with the persuasion of Adepana and the two men. Jibeiyar took them for a brief walk around the city and finally left the city helplessly. I sent a small group of Legion Beetles to follow them. The purpose of this is to prevent them from suddenly returning to catch us.

The Son of the Night also reacted very quickly. As soon as he saw them leaving, he quickly called us to get out of the way. I immediately ordered everyone to leave the shelter and move outside the city. The space door of the Earth Mother has been closed, but Scott, the others, and the Tyrannosaurus Knight have all been left behind. The Mother Goddess of Earth did not allow the Seratis to enter the space gate, and the combat capabilities of the members of the Seratis tribe were really unacceptable to the lowlands. As a result, they had no choice but to let the Tyrannosaurus Knights stay as cover personnel to protect the members of the team. .

After leaving the Seratis city, we quickly headed northwest. From this direction, we should be able to quickly reach the seaside. If nothing else happens, the fast transport ship from Isengard should be in place soon. Another reason for choosing this direction is that the direction Jibeiyar and the others are going is east. In order not to meet them, I had to choose to go in this direction.

During the process of evacuating the place, the leader of the Seratis tribe suddenly stopped. "By the way, President Ziri. (After joining the gang, they also counted me as one of them, so they called me president.) I suddenly remembered that we have our own transportation."

"what is this?"

"Wait a minute, I'll take you to see it."

He was brought to a place by the city wall by Head of State Seratis, which is said to be where their transportation is parked. Similar to our parking lot. When the door opened I saw a large array of strange equipment. The shapes of these things are all kinds of messy, and some of them look like they can't be connected with transportation.

"Is this your mode of transportation?"

Head of State Seratis nodded: "We Seratis people used to use this thing to move back and forth between our three cities. Our clan does not have the teleportation array technology like yours, so we can only study this device. Used for traveling. After the Temple of Light attacked us, we also used this kind of thing to gather the remaining compatriots in the three cities here. Among the nearly 800 members you see now, except for a few dozen who were born later Members. The rest are gathered from the three cities. Although our race has low reproductive capacity, its lifespan is relatively long. If it weren’t for these things, it would be difficult for our scattered compatriots to gather together.”

I walked to the device closest to the door, which was inlaid with many crystals and looked a bit like a motorcycle without wheels. "This thing has no wheels or wings. Could it be that it burrows into the ground and moves forward?"

"It can fly." Seratis shouted directly. "We are not ground pythons, how can we burrow into the ground and move forward?"

I was so surprised by what Head Seratis said that I couldn't close my mouth. "You mean, this is an aircraft?"

Elder Seratis nodded in confirmation, and I glanced at the machines here again in surprise. Although these things have various shapes. But the size is not big. Could something so small be an aircraft? The smallest of our guild's gravity resistance devices is still as big as a small car. This is the volume without considering the energy device. If it is equipped with a magic energy converter, the total volume will already catch up with a small truck. . The aircraft that Woma showed us last time were not only strange in shape, but also scary in size. The fundamental reason was that the gravity resistance device itself was too large. Nightchild and I had similar reactions. He was also surprised when he saw these strange equipment.

I started walking in the aisle between these aircraft. The aircraft parked on both sides were of various colors and strange shapes. The smallest of these machines is like a bicycle faucet and a pair of tripods mounted on a saddle. Can such a small thing fly?

"Are you really sure this is a manned aircraft?" I still can't believe these devices are so small.

Head of State Seratis replied somewhat amusingly: "I'm not going to get this wrong."

"Can these fly?"

"That's not necessarily true." Chief Seratis said: "The last time we used these things was a long time ago. After the war, we don't have many people who can drive these things. And our remaining technical personnel are mainly focused on accelerating the restoration of defense. facilities. So these secondary equipment have been left idle for the time being. Except for a few that we often use, the rest of them have not been touched for a long time. I don’t know if they can still operate. In addition, these things It consumes a lot of energy, so it can't be used casually."

"Can you give it a try? I want to take away everything that can move."

"This is no problem." Head of State Seratis said: "Ask your people to help, just turn the switch. If it can be started, there should be no problem. If it cannot be started, there is probably something wrong."

I quickly found the Tyrannosaurus Knight to help with the test, and Chief Seratis told us to find a switch that looked like a comma. I looked for it on the machine next to me. The position of this thing on each machine is different. Mine is installed in a very conspicuous position. Following Selatis's prompts, I grabbed this thing and gently turned it at a 45-degree angle, and the comma just slipped into a groove of the same shape.

After seeing that we had finished, Head Serratis continued: "Press that switch hard."

I put my finger on the switch that entered the groove and pressed it hard, but there was no response. The surrounding Tyrannosaurus Knights behaved differently, but most of them didn't press it like me. Some didn't respond when pressed, but some worked. The child of the night was standing next to me. As soon as the switch on the machine next to the boy was pressed, a beep was heard, and the crystals inlaid on the surface of the machine suddenly lit up with a light blue light. The entire machine suddenly shook and then floated up from the ground, remaining suspended there at a height of ten centimeters above the ground.

The child of the night burst out laughing in excitement, "This thing can really fly."

I was so depressed that I couldn't press the button on the machine next to me after struggling for a long time. "I seem to be rusty!"

The Son of the Night waved to me: "Come here and take a look at this. This one can move. Hehe, this thing is really powerful."

I walked helplessly to the machine next to Night Child. The crystals around this thing are all lit up, and it floats in the air and sways slightly, like a ship floating on the sea. "Why is this thing shaking so hard?" I turned around and shouted at Head Seratis.

Seratis ran over and explained to me: "When the machine is running, there will be some vibration."

"Damn, why is it like a motorcycle? The ground is shaking so hard." Although the equipment in front of him floated, it was different from our gravity resistance device. This equipment made a lot of noise and vibrated violently. It feels like a second-hand motorcycle with a broken exhaust pipe.

Ye Zhizi suddenly said to me: "Go up and try?"

I jumped on without hesitation. This thing was designed for the Seratis tribe. The foot-stepping thing is too long and I can't reach it at all. The handle is barely usable. As soon as I jumped on it, the thing immediately sank, but it did not hit the ground. It was still five or six centimeters above the ground. The Son of the Night also came up in a flash. Due to the weight of the person, the thing went down a little bit, but it still maintained a height of about four or five centimeters from the ground.

Head of State Seratis explained to us: "The maximum load-bearing capacity of this equipment is two hundred carrals."

"Ah? How much did you say?"

"Two hundred carrals. Converted to your units, it's about six hundred kilograms."

"If we make the machine bigger, can the load-bearing capacity be increased?" I expect to use this thing to build an aircraft, but what the hell is it that it can only carry 600 kilograms?

Head Serratis actually shook her head. "You have also seen that the largest aircraft here are no more than 5 meters long. It is not for other reasons, but because there is a critical point in the power equipment. On this basis, no matter how you modify it, don't let the take-off weight exceed 800 Kilograms, minus the dead weight of the aircraft. The remaining thrust is definitely insufficient."

"Can't the thrust be increased by equipping multiple power units?" The Son of Night asked immediately.

Head Serratis still shook her head. "The result of multiple thrusters is that the energy sources interfere with each other. In the end, it causes a decrease in thrust. After our experiments, we have found a way to shield part of the power interference. But it is not complete. The final result is that energy consumption rises linearly. It completely exceeds the economic value. . Anyway, this small aircraft can accommodate one or two people and carry a few things, so we don’t expect to make it too big.”

faint. It seems that there is no hope for large aircraft. This kind of propeller is only suitable for building small aircraft. It should be possible to convert it into interceptors and reconnaissance aircraft.

The Tyrannosaurus Knights in the warehouse tried many times. In the end, only about 300 moving aircraft were found. It happens that the Seratis tribe needs these things for their transfer, but it's a pity that there are too few people who can drive them. Only about thirty of the nearly eight hundred Seratis people can use this thing, and the popularity rate is really low.

I put the extra aircraft into the Phoenix Dragon Space. Those who knew how to fly started the aircraft and took a companion to move with them. The rest had to be taken by the Tyrannosaurus Knight.

Along the way, we also got a general understanding of the performance of this thing. Overall, we felt that this thing had many flaws. The first flaw is that it cannot fly high. This kind of aircraft can only fly at a low altitude of no more than 300 meters above the ground, which means that it cannot even fly over the city wall of Essinger. The second flaw is something we discovered early on. This thing consumes too much energy, and all the machines stopped working after walking less than 100 kilometers. Fortunately, it does not use magic crystal but a purple liquid. Head of State Seratis said that this liquid is a kind of mineral. You can dig it up in many places, and the Night Child actually recognizes it, but I didn’t know there was such a thing in the game.

The most troublesome flaw for us is the complicated operation. When this thing is flying, the head of the aircraft must keep a certain downward tilt, otherwise it will roll backwards and cause a crash. Night Son and I personally experimented several times, but the result was that it fell every time. The aircraft floating in the sky has no support. When people sit on it, the center of gravity becomes unstable, so it is very easy to tip over. I feel that driving this thing is just like riding a bicycle, you need to find balance, and you must learn a certain amount before you can control it stably.

The Children of the Night and I studied it with Head of State Seratis for a long time along the way. Head of State Seratis explained that there were major flaws in the original design of this thing. Although it was improved several times in the later period, the problem was never completely solved. Since the three cities of the Seratis tribe are not far apart, the demand for transportation is not very large. Therefore, this has not been regarded as a research focus, resulting in the machine's unsatisfactory performance.

It got dark soon, and the Son of the Night needed to go offline to rest, but in order not to waste time, I didn't let the team stay and asked the Son of the Night to forcefully log off and keep his body in the game. Although others have left, the physical body is still there. We take His physical body with us. When he comes online, he will still be with us and will not be left behind.

I kept traveling all night, and my troops were all undead creatures and were not affected by darkness at night, so they were super fast. We arrived near the coastline early the next morning local time.

As soon as my team came out of the forest, they saw several spears hovering in the air. This situation surprised me. Only our guild has spears, so why did they come here?

"President!" Several spears swooped down immediately after spotting me, and the people on the backs of the spears turned out to be members of our guild. The young blonde female member landed next to us and ran over. "President, I finally see you. My name is Aka. I am a member of the American branch."

Our guild has a large number of people and a vast territory. Therefore, members in various places are generally divided into various branches according to regions. This beauty is obviously a member from the United States, so she claims to be a member of the American branch.

"How did you get here so fast?" I asked her in surprise. I remember it was less than a day's notice. No matter how fast the fleet is, there is no way it can arrive before me.

Aka explained: "When you informed me of the meeting, our warship was delivering goods here, and we were just about to return. After receiving your notification, we turned around and came here. We arrived last night local time, and the captain was afraid that you wouldn't see it. The battleship is here, so let me bring people out to look for you along the coast."

"Delivery?" I was slightly surprised. "Don't all goods from Asia to America be sent through the cross-border teleportation array in the starting point city? Why did the warships be re-sent? Who decided?"

"I don't know about that. You can ask the captain later. Let's get on the ship first."

"Oh well."

The fleet is docked in the open sea. This is not a port. The water is too shallow. Our warships cannot reach it and we can only use small boats to transport people to the large warships. I handed over the task of pedaling the ship to other players in the guild, and I first boarded the battleship and found the fleet commander.

"Zhenhong? Why is it you?" What I didn't expect was that the fleet was actually commanded by Zhenhong.

After seeing me, Zhenhong also ran over happily. "I finally got you, I don't want to wait here any longer."

"How red, why did you become the fleet commander?"

Zhenhong said: "I'm just making a guest appearance. There just aren't enough people in the meeting this time, so I came over temporarily to support."

"Then how come the warships came to the Americas? Didn't I say that our warships should minimize their activities in the Americas?" Our bank's only city in the United States is an inland city, which means we are in the United States. There is no port of its own at all. The Asian naval war has consumed most of our guild's strength, so I don't want to enter the naval battle battlefield in the Americas prematurely. Our guild's warships cannot afford the intensity to cope with two wars at the same time.

Zhenhong handed me a drink and said: "After this upgrade, the consumption of the teleportation array has skyrocketed. The cost of transporting personnel has become somewhat tight, and transporting goods is even less cost-effective. Hongyue said that ships should be used to transport goods instead, so that Save a lot of money.”

"Is the teleportation array so expensive in the long run?" I have been in the forest since this upgrade, and I don't know what the teleportation array has changed to.

Zhenhong said: "The transmission error of the teleportation array that occurred during the last upgrade has been cancelled, which means that now the teleportation array will no longer send the wrong target, but the energy consumed by the teleportation array has increased significantly, and the energy consumption value has also been new. calculation formula."

"New formula?"

"The current teleportation energy consumption is the mass of the teleportation object multiplied by the distance of the target teleportation array, and then multiplied by a very complex proportional formula that only the system knows. Finally, the starting energy consumption of a single teleportation must be added. According to some current player summary The experience seems to be that the larger the teleportation array, the lower the average energy consumption of transporting objects of the same mass. Also, some people have found that the larger the teleportation array, the greater the initial energy consumption. This is a bit similar to buses and The principle of private cars. Buses consume a lot of fuel, but they can be loaded, so the average fuel consumption of transporting one person is smaller."

I nodded and continued: "Because of the increase in energy consumption, guilds with teleportation arrays have to increase the teleportation array usage fees to maintain high income and use the money to purchase magic crystals. Currently, guilds in various countries around the world follow the system The city's pricing is determined by itself, so the price is relatively stable, but it is relatively expensive. Nowadays, except for extremely rich people or people who are in urgent need, most people do not use the teleportation array. Also, the increase in the price of the teleportation array will also bring teleportation Scrolls have also increased, and now no one even dares to throw the scrolls back to the city. Many large leveling points have shuttle buses specifically bringing people back to the city to buy medicine, and some people even set up stalls to sell them directly in the leveling area. thing."

"Good guy, isn't that an exaggeration?"

"There are even more exaggerations. It is said that after the price of teleportation arrays increased, road transportation also prospered. According to the latest statistics from the forum yesterday, the number of road bandits in the entire game suddenly increased by 10 times. The roads along the road have become a battlefield for mercenary teams and bandits. Basically, There’s a free-for-all everywhere.”
