Crow's Paradise

25th, airport.

In the early morning, the sun rises from the sea and shines its light into the city.

The moment the sun stones hit the sun, they glowed and heated up in the cold and silent city of Poseidonia, lifting up the construction machinery.

With the sounds of gears meshing and transmission rod chains twisting, the burning color of the sunstone breaks the silence.

In front of the huge "Stairway to Heaven", one after another copper-yellow vehicles drove into the airport.

And in this scene, a long-faced man in a guard uniform blended in with the sound of the car's gears twisting, synchronized with the car.

Turning to look at the four guards who were intently checking the invitations for passing cars, he laughed.

After confirming that no one was looking at him, he used the turning vehicle to move to another corner.

While standing in a dark area covered by sunlight, the long-faced man looked at his arm. A shadowy crow came out of his palm, and then separated into a black page and a shadowy crow with almost no difference in body shape.

After the crow separated, it pounced directly on the head of the long-faced man, like a hazy shadow.

Afterwards, he took off his guard father and traced his fingers on the black page.

Almost the moment his finger movements stopped, his face and figure had changed.

He turned into a man with short light blond hair, wearing a brown-gray morning coat, with a sense of elegance and a hint of coldness.

The blond man, or Yao Yan, took a look at his clothes:

"Have your clothes also changed?"

But he wasn't surprised. Not to mention the clothes, it wasn't surprising that the surrounding light, air, buildings and other external objects also changed together.

He touched the inner pocket of his clothes and took out an invitation:

"Oh, there's even an invitation letter. Is it because I met him just now?"

Fortunately, he specially prepared another one.

Picking up the guard uniform on the ground, he also took out an invitation letter from the inner pocket of the guard uniform.

However, after careful comparison, the invitation he forged was more exquisite.

"Ah this."

Being too refined is also a mistake.

But it might still be useful.

After thinking about it, Yao Yan stuffed the forged invitation into his right pocket.

Immediately, he took out his glasses from his pocket, put them on the bridge of his nose, and walked towards the Stairway to Heaven.

Carrying a suitcase in his left hand and holding a cane in his right hand, Yao Yan arrived in front of the Stairway to Heaven.

The huge Stairway to Heaven was parked quietly in the middle of the airport.

Originally, the size gap between airships and humans was extremely large. An average airship could carry more than two hundred passengers.

The Stairway to Heaven number is four times that amount.

Corresponding to its carrying capacity of nearly a thousand people is its huge size.

Compared with other airships, the Stairway to Heaven is ten times larger than the average airship.

Four times the carrying capacity does not simply mean four times the volume.

Looking at this scene, Yao Yan couldn't help but think of a setting that often appeared in various novels and literary works.

People who have acquired insect abilities can lift items of exaggerated weight like insects.

Anyone with a little knowledge of materials science, or knowledge of engineering materials in construction engineering, knows that as the strength of the material itself is limited, the larger the building structure, the more complex the structure will be. Simply put, as the material increases, the volume As the number increases, each node needs to carry more pressure.

The biological materials of insects themselves have limited strength, which can support the strength of their body size. However, after amplification, one has to choose to increase the strength of the material. After the strength of the material itself cannot be increased, complex structures can only be used to achieve strength through structural strength. Side reinforcement.

but

He stared at the huge "Stairway to Heaven". Although he didn't know whether four times the carrying capacity required ten times the volume, but from the various "common senses" that "violated reality" that existed everywhere in this world, he thought that four and ten The ratio is not actually calculated, but just some kind of vague estimate.

But.what does it matter?

Don't talk about this, even if there is a situation in this world where insects can be enlarged and the material strength and structure remain unchanged, and they can lift things dozens or hundreds of times their weight, he will think it is reasonable.

Here, worldview is the world.

The world is what the spiritual consciousness that makes up this world thinks.

“Normally this would not happen”

“Usually not like this”

The so-called ordinary and normal are not decided by him here.

Yao Yan's eyes were fixed on the Stairway to Heaven.

That huge airship had a rich style that was in line with this era and different from his understanding.

Between the twisting gears, the sun stone shines.

The tail of the sail, which looks like a fish fin, and the propellers facing up, down, left, and right, are all adjusting their directions downwards, as if they are intending to use ground effects to lift off.

On the edge of the airship, there were also special-looking areas. These areas were unobstructed and reminded him of weapons such as the muzzles of battleships.

Yao Yan did not know whether these gun emplacements located on the sides of the airship were for defense or offense.

but

Yao Yan's eyes turned to a man in front of him.

It was a tall man wearing the iconic hat of an air captain.

The guards and crew arranged by the captain were lined up on both sides of the ramp car. Most of them were wearing weapons such as scimitars and swords, and there were also a few steam gunners wearing sunstone steam-driven outfits assisted by exoskeleton armor.

Although it is strange to develop a rifle shape similar to that of his lifetime without gunpowder, and it is also strange why there is no gunpowder in the bullet to form such a shape, there is no doubt that the existence of steam firearms shows that this world does not It's a cold war.

but

Yao Yan glanced at the steam gunners, or those who should be called steam gunners, and the heavy steam armor on their bodies.

Contrary to what he thought, the appearance of these steam gunners made the invited guests look worried or relieved.

As for what he was worried about and why he was relieved, Yao Yan did not ask.

He just followed the previous man who walked onto the ramp car, took out an invitation letter from his inner pocket that was much rougher than the one he forged, and handed it to the inspector.

"Welcome, Mr. Mantle."

The smiling steward bowed as before and motioned for him to enter the airship.

"OK."

Yao Yan smiled, stood on the top of the gangway, turned around and looked at the airport behind him, and walked into the airship amidst the sound of propellers.

Is the so-called big drama about to begin?

So, who is the host?

...The moment he stepped into the airship, he muttered silently to himself.
