Chapter 542 UFO...no, it's a pumice craft! (twenty three)

On the flying platform, various flying cars and large transport aircraft were rising and falling, which looked quite lively.

However, Terra has not made much breakthrough in terms of truly giant transportation, or there is no demand for it - all transport aircraft have a maximum wingspan of about fifty or sixty meters.

There are a total of eight flight decks in the Imperial Capital, located at the entrance and exit of the Zhongcheng District. They are shaped like the word "Morning". The "Ri" part is used as a vertical take-off and landing platform, and the cross part is an acceleration flight channel. Of course, this is not exactly the word "zao", just a metaphor.

It is part of the national logistics system of the imperial capital. This is a project that the late emperor wanted to build but was not fully completed. It is now completed in the hands of Axel.

The railway circle and giant transport vehicles surrounding the Imperial Capital are part of ensuring the supply of materials for the entire core urban area around the Imperial Capital. Air transportation is faster and resources can be obtained from further places. The Imperial Capital is still considering adding more. Four large flight platforms increase throughput.

Even so, prices in the Imperial Capital other than food are also very expensive.

Now, Ian led the goblin ladies and Tres' team to the second military flight platform.

Then, he saw a UFO.

What are UFOs?

To put it bluntly, they are UFOs, which refer specifically to alien spacecraft in a certain era on earth. Most of them are disk-shaped, with a thick center and thin edges.

The aircraft that appeared in front of Ian's eyes on the second flying platform of the Imperial Capital was a saucer-shaped aircraft that perfectly matched all the characteristics of a UFO.

It is very huge, with a diameter of more than 45 meters. The central area is a regular octagonal prism, which is probably the observation bridge, and the lower part is used to transport materials, with two tracked off-road transport vehicles suspended - The entire disc aircraft was suspended in mid-air silently, extending a telescopic ladder, waiting for Ian and others to enter.

Ian was stunned for a long time. The thoughts, ideas, jokes and various speculations that flashed through his mind could make ordinary people comatose in an instant - but in the end, he still didn't understand what was going on.

"Perhaps this is some alien heritage obtained by the pre-epoch civilization? Because it is really easy to use, it has been widely installed, and the current Terran civilization has continued to use it..."

Ian racked his brains to guess, but still couldn't figure out why: "But why is it a disk? How does it fly? I didn't see any propulsion nozzle... It might be okay if it was in space, but in the atmosphere, the disk The shape of the aircraft is not very reasonable..."

And while the young man was thinking hard, he noticed something.

That is, although there is no nozzle on the edge of the disc aircraft, there are quite a few 'inscribed pumice stones'.

Pumice, a strange mineral, has an entire sequence from low energy levels to high energy levels and quite a few derivatives.

Ian's Fairy Wings use 'Xuanhaichensha' and 'Lingguang Pumice', two pumice stones related to the water attribute source material. They can burst out huge propulsive force through the source material, and all pumice stones Generally speaking, they are not too affected by gravity.

This is a substance that can ignore one of the four fundamental forces in normal circumstances. Of course, it is not completely ignored, but it is extremely outrageous to ignore a part of it on the surface.

--Hi. I was stupid for trying to teach geophysics on Terra.

When he saw the pumice stone, Ian was immediately relieved, because the shape of the UFO really reminded him of his past life, and he had forgotten that this world had extraordinary powers such as psychic energy and sesame.

The four basic forces? Pfft.

Only people on earth will care.

Who knows how many fundamental forces there are in the universe where Terra is located? At the very least, the spiritual energy and source matter are definitely related to the special features of this universe. Ian has not observed anything that has nothing to do with the spiritual energy matter. Whether it is a substance or a phenomenon.

Even though the spiritual energy and quality are originally integrated, this also means that Terra has at least a fifth basic force. It is this level of power that supports all extraordinary phenomena in the entire Terra universe.

But this kind of thing is far from what Ian can study now.

After calming down, Ian's external image was actually the shock of a very ordinary country bumpkin - no matter how talented he was, he was still a country boy from Nanling, a remote area.

I have never seen the high-end pumice aircraft in the Imperial City. Is that normal?

At least Tres didn't see any flaws. He just smiled and said, "How about it? It's shocking, right? I was shocked when I saw it for the first time. This is a new aircraft from the fifth-generation aerospace armor development team. "

"Originally, they planned to use the properties of pumice stone to make the sixth-generation aerospace armor. However, they found that it was difficult to miniaturize the alchemy furnace core. After forced miniaturization, the propulsion power and durability were not as expected - the pumice stone power unit is more suitable for operation outside the atmosphere. , but that place is the territory of the real dragon."

"No matter how much more, I don't know. Anyway, a lot of information about the armored forces is top secret, so we only know some old information."

"I can only say that it was beyond my expectation."

Ian really didn't pretend this time. He really didn't expect: "We'll just take this thing there?"

The answer is of course.

The power of the Pumice Aircraft is quite high, but it is difficult to miniaturize. It operates silently, which makes it suitable for transporting confidential missions or launching surprise attacks.

Ian and his team entered with Tres' team. The goblins seemed quite indifferent to this kind of aircraft, because they had seen countless strange-shaped aircraft before, and a mere disc did not amaze them. .

Take a closer look, indeed. There are many kinds of aircraft on the flying platform, including flying cars, cigar-shaped small airships, and normal fighter planes, but most of them are rows of sky armors. There are seventy-eight in total, including three. It is a significantly stronger captain's aircraft.

The armed forces on this flying platform alone may be enough to start a small war.

"Technology is so advanced."

Ian looked at those triangular fighters that conformed to normal aerodynamics but were quite large and heavy. He couldn't help but feel that he was in the wrong place: "Why are there so few fighters? In terms of speed alone, aircraft with this shape are obviously faster." Hurry?"

"You mean high-speed mobile fortress (MA)?" Tres looked at those giant fighters and nodded: "It is indeed very strong, with high firepower and fast speed, but it is not as good as the air and sky armor that can bring out all the advantages of the Ascendant. It cannot quickly land on the ground after air suppression to cooperate with ground forces to carry out compound strikes, so it will only be of great use in expelling dragon beasts and large-scale wars."

"But I heard that the reason why our sixth-generation aerospace armor is so difficult to produce is because we are developing a variable form of fighter armor. It is usually a mobile fortress, but when low-altitude suppression is needed, it becomes armor. It has both. the power of."

"But not really, who knows?"

After all, Tres is a rising junior who directly reports to the deputy leader of Frost Trail, and has many channels. However, he has only spent too little time in the Patrol Knights, and only knows a vague outline of many information.

But this was enough. Ian already felt that it was outrageous and couldn't help thinking: "Transformable fighter? Terra is such a magical place..."

In fact, to the locals, these things are nothing magical, they are nothing more than big toys for the Ascended.

Ordinary people who want to drive these steel monsters will only be crushed to death by acceleration. The Terrans are indeed very strong, but for the ultra-high-speed aerospace armor that can easily cruise at twice the speed of sound, it is really difficult. It's a bit unsightly.

——Why is it that Terra can so easily produce a lot of powerful aircraft?

——Of course it’s because they don’t need to consider the human body’s endurance at all, they only need to consider the mechanical limits!

"The mechanical design concept of this hellish place is different from that of the earth. After all, the core 'human' is no longer the same creature."

After confirming this idea, Ian shook his head slightly: "It's no wonder that Terra's culture and moral concepts are completely different from those of Earth."

With this in mind, they boarded the pumice aircraft together.

A few minutes later, after confirming that the boarding personnel and supplies were complete, the Pumice Aircraft with two transport vehicles suspended silently went deep into the sky and took off.

Speeding towards the Awak area.
