Chapter 446 Water Nets and Relics

Unknown empty island.

Advancing along the front of the cumulonimbus area, the fleet avoided the obstacles in front of it like a flock of birds migrating through the mountains, and slowly landed and stopped in front of the foothold of the empty island.

Arriving at the cumulonimbus area is equivalent to reaching the midline of the two airspaces. This can be said to be the edge where all forces project their power.

The uninvited guests designated this island, which is mainly composed of grass and a small amount of green plants, as their temporary settlement.

The dark gray fleet activated the repulsion array and slowly and steadily descended from the sailing altitude to the landing altitude.

Due to their size, large aerostats rarely choose to land directly. Instead, they maintain low-power operation of the repulsion engine and dock with the airport to complete the berthing.

The advantage of the floating stone engine is that as long as it is not completely destroyed, the repulsive force formed by the floating stone allows the giant ship to land slowly and safely...at least it will not plunge into the mud like a stalled fighter plane.

Small aerospace ships, because of their smaller mass/weight, can land directly at the target location without having to dock at a port.

The top of the aerial ship chosen by the elves to be stationed has a few extra things compared to other aerial ships.

Ji Lin stared at the strange network woven from light green plant roots that looked like an open volleyball net on the top of the aerostat.

"What's that?"

He curiously asked Fang Ai, who was standing next to him, that if the fleet hadn't landed, he wouldn't have noticed the dense fishing net-like devices built by the elven war mages on the top of the aerospace ship.

"This is a water catching net, it's very simple! I will ask them to compile a document for you when the time comes!"

Fang Ai trotted to the floating ship with the water-catching net, and pointed at the nets that were being put away by the elves. When the elves and war mages saw her approaching, they stopped what they were doing and waited for their lords. Give orders.

Catching net.

Like the fishing nets used to capture aquatic life from the sea, water catching nets are, as the name suggests, tools for capturing moisture from the air.

Overlay plant fibers and draw special simplified cooling runes to obtain a certain amount of moisture by condensing free water molecules in the air.

In this way, it only takes time to obtain a relatively clean water source.

"But I'm still thinking about how to make the water on the water net gather together..."

Ji Lin nodded, feeling that this technology could alleviate the supply problem of the territorial field fleet to a certain extent.

Slightly reduces the pressure on officers so they don't need to cast Water Condensation.

The officers' water condensation technique also extracts water vapor in the air to form droplets... The efficiency is much higher than that of the water catching net, but...

Very draining.

There is only so much water vapor in the air, and efficiency decreases exponentially as humidity decreases, reaching a limit where only a few drops of water can be extracted per minute.

This means that the officers need to maintain one posture for a long time, sitting in place and acting as humanoid water generators, in order to meet the daily water needs of the thirty people on the ship.

Now the officers have regarded making water purely as a spiritual practice.

And I am determined to pass this on as my own internal inheritance...

"Well, this technology is very good... I have never heard of it before..."

Fang Ai answered after thinking.

"You...didn't ask? This is basic technology..."

Ji Lin touched his head and coughed slightly to relieve his embarrassment.

He didn't expect that the elves actually had such useful and low-cost technology... Maybe it was because he was too tired from his recent work that his brain didn't recover.

Just integrating the existing technical resources in the territory is enough to make him and the dean of the academy exhausted mentally and physically, let alone taking the time to ponder the technology of his cooperating lords.

If he has a need, he will put it forward and then wait for the other party to reply.

All technical exchanges are carried out in this situation where you ask something and I say something.

After all, he is not a professional technician and will only put forward his own needs.

"Thank you. Let me know if there is any progress in the technology of water catching nets."

These elves were able to create three water-catching nets in just five days, and on a floating ship with almost no resources... the manufacturing cost was acceptable.

Ji Lin looked at the elves who were wringing out water from the water net. They all lowered their heads and saluted him.

Their lord was a collaborator with him and had seen the abundant firepower of Ji Lin's troops.

Have enough respect for the troops in the territory.

Another reason is... if these officers wear the heavy armor of their troops, the exoskeletons used by the soldiers will look like another kind of armor to the elves.

Just different armor designs.

Heavily armed officers equipped with exoskeletons can really jump over and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the elven war mages, not to mention that they usually bring nine fully armed lower-level soldiers to assist in the battle.

Battle mages generally don't bring so many ranger guards.

In general, Ji Lin did not see the shortcomings of the elves in his stereotype in them.

Humble, gracious, and extremely polite.

With water and a self-sufficient water supply, a considerable part of the fleet's endurance problems can be solved.

Ji Lin has already thought about how to use these condensation systems that can capture moisture from the air.

"Sir, we found a ruins on this small empty island."

The officer in charge of surveying the air island saluted him, turned around and saluted Fang Ai who was standing beside him, and then turned back to report the results of their work to Ji Lin.

"According to our preliminary exploration, we have confirmed that the ruins are still in a controllable state...but we are not sure about the internal situation yet..."

Ji Lin gestured on the map and measured the distance between the two airspaces...This is undoubtedly a specialty of the sky island in his airspace.

Relics.

"I don't know how this sky island floated so far away..."

But this is too far, right? It floated at least two hundred kilometers away.

The Pangu airspace where the Ring Island Alliance is located has more abundant and rich resources, both biological resources and mineral resources.

But the airspace where they are located does not have the kind of ruins that control the sky island that Ji Lin found on the sky island. Instead, there are a large number of more dangerous creatures...Ji Lin is not sure whether those giant creatures are affected by any special substances or facilities.

The system always puts some strange things in the pioneering world.

I just don't know what happened to this small sky island under my feet to float so far away from the main sky island.

"Wait? What did you say? A ruin that is still running?"

Ji Lin paused and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what the officer said.

A working relic?
