Chapter 593 The Radiated Wasteland
Three days later.
"yeah!!!"
With excited cheers and much attention, people gathered in front of the tower square to witness the heavy-duty balloon airship with the solar energy reactor hanging on it start at almost full power. The bellows made an oppressive "rumbling" sound, slowly and slowly. Rise high into the sky.
This metal reactor, which is more than 20 meters long, is too heavy.
Even if the heavy-duty balloon airship has been started at full power, the time it takes to rise from the ground to high altitude is delayed several times. It once only took half a minute to rise to the height, but now it takes several minutes to rise to the specified height. At a safe height, a heavy metal boiler was hung under the deck cabin and headed towards the wind wall ahead.
"Hahahaha, I finally have two days off, I want to have a good drink! Hey, I heard that Yese Bar not only introduced honey-flavored whiskey from a remote small wind eye college some time ago, but also recruited two refugees Elf, is it true? I’ve long wanted to go there and have a drink or two!”
The bearded man looked at the distant balloon airship and laughed heartily.
There are only a few days of vacation every year after completing the mission, and they are his happiest days.
Rest and vacation are really a luxury word in the wasteland era.
"Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will tear your bones apart?"
Another person joked, shaking two gold coins and a handful of silver coins in his hand.
"My Amy is getting married, and these are her dowry! Thanks to the dean, I still remember that when I fled more than ten years ago, Amy was just born. At that time... I really didn't expect that she would survive. .”
At the end of the sentence, the man's hearty and smiling face revealed a touch of unspeakable sadness and gratitude.
"Forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law! Hahaha, that mother-in-law at home? My dignified leader of the third workshop team is on vacation and has two glasses of wine to celebrate. What else can she say!"
As if he felt that he was not confident enough, the bearded man grumbled: "Call Jimmy and Beta tonight, and I'll treat you."
In the enlightenment class of Grant Academy of Natural Sciences.
After watching the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the teachers and children sang songs and returned to the classroom excitedly.
"Students, the solar energy reactor our college is building now belongs to the second generation of energy sources. It is the final design completed by Dean Lei Luo twelve years ago. It is a precision device for industrial mass production. It consumes radiation Jinghua obtains huge energy to support the stability of the wind wall in the eye of the storm and the operation of energy restrictions, otherwise we will all be swallowed up by the wind and sand full of death outside..."
In the classroom, dozens of children stared wide-eyed, listening to the instructor's words.
While the instructor was telling the history and working principles of the solar energy reactor, he was also teaching the children uncommon words.
These are children between 7 and 9 years old.
The Gran Academy of Natural Sciences implements five years of compulsory education, two of which are completed here. While providing literacy and enlightenment education, it also teaches moral etiquette, legal order, and Lei Luo's most important interest in exploration, knowledge and curiosity!
…
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The heavy-duty balloon airship was operating at full power, and the deck and rest cabin were filled with suppressed roars.
Xiao Kang stood at the front of the deck, staring at the wind wall that was gradually approaching in front of him. His eyes could not help but show a touch of vicissitudes and confusion.
Unconsciously, he was already sixty years old.
Over the years, although he has mastered the secondary energy magnetic field and relied on various medicines for nourishment, he looks like he is only in his early thirties on the outside and is still a fat man with a fleshy and red face, but his heart has accumulated over time. , became nostalgic and full of memories.
The days were so beautiful, with picnics everywhere on the outskirts of Fort St. Granville and streams flowing from the Magic Eagle Forest.
Now, all memories have been submerged in the yellow sand. Even he is just a humble member of this wasteland trying to survive.
"Is all this really worth it?"
Sighing, as the captain of the airship activated the highest power protective cover, there was a "boom" sound, and the balloon airship shook violently. That was the balloon airship breaking through the wind wall of the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences, heading towards the yellow sand world full of death, crossing The long-submerged land of Gran Radiation Wasteland is heading to another eye habitat, Vladik Academy of Science.
Space boxes are not omnipotent.
Especially when facing this kind of ultra-large facility with extremely precise internal structure, the vacuum environment will change the internal precision structure in a short time, so the caravan must be transported to the customer through a balloon airship.
call……
After a while.
This airship, filled with the crystallization of human wisdom and hard work, finally left the artificially developed habitat of the eye of the storm and came to the endless sand world of death storms.
The death storm with wind power exceeding level 12 swept away sand and gravel particles, enough to tear human skin into pieces in a matter of seconds.
The darkness with visibility of less than one meter is also mixed with deadly metal fragments and radioactive dust, as well as dangerous and violent creatures hidden behind the yellow sand.
"Everyone listen!"
The captain is an extraordinary scholar.
Even if the balloon airship is privately leased and contracted by the Xiaokang Chamber of Commerce in the next few days, he still has absolute power because he must be responsible for the collective property of the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences and the lives of the people on this ship. !
On the deck, everyone's eyes gathered.
With a serious expression, the captain said solemnly: "In the next two days, we will travel through the vast radiation wasteland of the death storm to the Vladik Academy of Science. During this period, we will not have any supply stops and will not be able to get any help from the outside world. Everyone outside will Every inch of land may hide dangerous creatures that want our lives. They may be terrifying existences that we have never seen, even heard of, or imagined. In order for us to survive as much as possible in such a dangerous environment, Come down, I ask everyone here to do three things."
While the captain was speaking, even Xiao Kang and a group of elite guards stood upright and watched with serious eyes.
Even though they have gone through this process dozens or hundreds of times.
Xiao Kang's chubby cheeks and his small eyes kept scanning the deck helmsman, gunners, sky knights, and numerous personnel, looking for Lei Luo's figure, but found nothing.
"did you find it?"
After a long time, he found nothing and asked in a low voice to the man in the black iron mask beside him.
"After all, that one is probably the most powerful one among the existing anthropologists. He has even surpassed the two famous pioneers twenty years ago. Judging from his achievements more than ten years ago, even the legendary The rotten true demon that ravaged the Doomsday Legion of the Principality of Gran has re-nirvana and come to the world again. I am afraid it is nothing more than this, so it is natural to have whatever abilities he has. I will not be arrogant enough to think that I can easily discover his traces. "
"Hmm, maybe he's not on this airship after all."
Suddenly, the green-skinned man said this.
Not on the airship?
Xiao Kang and the man in the black iron mask, who originally only focused on the people on the airship, couldn't help but look at the long death storm outside the energy protective shield.
For ordinary people, the visibility of the deathly wind and sand is less than one meter. For them, it is not much better. At most, they can see only seven or eight meters in the distance through mental perception.
They had no idea what was going on outside.
In this depressing environment, anyone will deeply feel their own insignificance and insignificance. Maybe there is a sky-shielding creature looking down at them curiously behind the long wind and sand.
call……
The sand is raging!
Indeed, as he guessed, Lei Luo was not on the airship.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
At the edge of the atmosphere, it is a dark red celestial body that has been stranded for more than ten years and has been running simultaneously with the radiation wasteland of the Star Curtain World for more than ten years. It is also the human stargazers in the eye of the wind who can intuitively see it with the naked eye. An observed celestial body.
It is dark red in color, ranks third among nine levels of brightness, and can be clearly observed in a clear night sky.
However.
Although it is very close, compared to the brilliance of the stars in the universe, it is still insignificant and not worth mentioning. Almost no one has focused on studying it.
But just such a celestial body is quietly changing this land!
high altitude.
Lei Luo relied on the power of the star's true body projection to soar thousands of meters above the edge of the death storm, overlooking the tiny airship below, which was flying hard in the wild sand.
Of course the people on the airship wouldn't know.
Just now, after they left the eye of the storm at the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences and were traveling in the death storm, less than a hundred meters away from the airship, a snake-like creature with a length of more than fifty meters glanced at it with curiosity. After taking a quick look, Youyou flew by.
