Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Information about the next battle plan, as well as various personnel arrangements and operational details, have been sent to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland by special messengers on pterosaurs.

Gordon and Feng Ying, who were supposed to return immediately, were temporarily left behind.

Perhaps it was a mistake in the previous meeting that made the commander-in-chief realize the importance of the opinions of front-line combatants. He asked Gordon and Feng Ying to participate in the formulation of the support material list.

In fact, the two hunters didn't help much. They just pulled out the equipment and ammunition requested by their companions. They were also a little confused as to what else they should bring.

But Pork Chops provided plenty of suggestions.

This makes at least half of the first batch of supplies to be various "explosive" big bangs.

The veteran craftsmen of the second phase team were very fast. On the second day after returning to the Star Stronghold, Gordon and the others witnessed the scene of the survey team's airship, which had been sealed for many years, being debugged and launched into the air.

The shape of this airship is quite unique.

Gordon was okay, after all, he had the research base of the third phase of the group to lay the groundwork, but Feng Ying was shaken to the core.

"What kind of crap is this?!" She couldn't help but complain.

next to them.

An old craftsman with gray shawl hair and a thin figure. Regardless of his clothes, body shape, or face, he gives off a strong sense of decadence, but his eyes are shining. He is crossing his arms and looking at the platform not far away. On the boat, the airbag gradually fills up, and the airship rises slowly and steadily.

There was no concealment of emotion and pride in his tone, "Finally, the day has finally come. The sky is the romance of a man!"

"Well"

Gordon knew this person, he was the airship developer mentioned by the leader of the second phase group.

Before that, Gordon had only one impression of this guy - a drunken drunkard.

I only complete the most basic work every day, and then I go to the Bobcat Pavilion, or buy a few bottles of wine, and sit in the corner and waste the whole day drunk.

Later I found out that this old drunkard was a very powerful engineer and an absolute expert in aircraft.

In the Old Continent, resources are abundant, the market is vast, and the development of various types of airships is booming. In recent years, there have even been large airships such as the Longshi Ship, which embodies the crystallization of countless technologies.

But these aircraft have one characteristic. They are specially designed and finalized after repeated practice.

The center of gravity is stable, the streamlined cabin, the modular buoyancy airbag, and even the length and thickness of the cables have special standards.

But it's different in the New World.

Even now that the fifth phase of the team has arrived and the number of people has increased sharply, the number of airships required by the investigation team is only two or three at most. If more are unused, mass production is impossible, and resources are extremely limited.

Building a cabin from scratch is time-consuming, laborious, and material-intensive, so the investigation team's airship was remodeled from the wreckage of a sea-going ship.

Just like the one in front of me.

The pod seems to be modified from one-third of the stern of a fifty-meter-class sea-going ship.

The center of gravity of this thing is not as stable as the cabin of a conventional airship.

Therefore, it does not have a specially configured huge airbag like those airships in the old world. Instead, it consists of dozens of hot air balloons of different sizes, which together form a buoyancy component.

Anyway, from Feng Ying's perspective, this thing can't be called an airship. It's just a wreckage of a sea ship with many balloons tied to it that just flew up!

The test flight was very successful.

The moment the airship landed smoothly, the airship developer rushed forward. He would make final fine-tuning for some minor problems exposed during the test flight.

A petite figure jumped out of the airship and ran towards Feng Ying and the others.

It's Isana.

As she ran towards here, she shouted to Feng Ying, "It's awesome! This airship is awesome! The uncle who modified the airship is also awesome!"

Feng Ying twitched her lips, "Is it more powerful than your Isana?"

Isana was choked, but she still said happily: "It's different! Have you seen the cabin made of the wreckage of the stern? To be honest, that thing is not suitable for use as a pod at all.

But the uncle just transformed it into an empty boat. Relying on the distributed airbag arrangement, the controllability and stability were adjusted to a perfect state. Even the father (the head of the Tulong tribe) found it difficult to achieve. "

The leader of the second phase of the group came over with a smile, "Hahaha, little girl, your forging technology in Naguli Village is absolutely top-notch, and your father is a world-famous craftsman, but when it comes to airship design, you can count. It’s not like you’re an expert.”

Isana pursed her lips, "One-eyed boss, the Isana built by our Naguli Village has killed an ancient dragon."

".?"

Gordon couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard Isana's angry words to save face, but he still followed her words and said: "Yes, the Celestial Dragon that spread the dragon disease and ravaged Sky Mountain was killed by Isana. The number was hit and killed."

The leader of the second phase team scratched his bald head, "We have been away from the Old World for more than 30 years, and the airship technology in Naguli Village has developed to this?"

A terrifying scene appeared in his mind of the Naguli Village airship equipped with a huge ramming horn, chasing the ancient dragon flying everywhere.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. In fact, the Celestial Dragon was beaten to death by Gordon and the others. It was knocked down by our boat with a dragon gun when it was about to escape." Isana finally explained.

"I see."

Isana brought the topic back to the airship in front of her, "But that uncle is really awesome. I heard that even if one-third of these airbags are broken, the airship can still barely maintain flight.

Will the airship crash if more than half of the airbags are lost? "

"yes."

Looking at the airship developer who had regained his energy and loudly ordered the craftsmen to carry out debugging, the leader of the second phase team couldn't help but sigh, "Whether it's the 'Stars' in front of me or the 'Xue Xue' of the third phase team. , all designed by him alone and led by others to transform them.

He'd felt guilty over the years for Lore's downfall, but it wasn't his fault at all.

It would be better to say that the third phase of the regiment was attacked by Fengdiaolong, but it was still able to successfully make an emergency landing and minimize casualties. This was his contribution. "

Gordon couldn't help but recall the research base that was still floating steadily in mid-air after twenty years of wind and rain, and nodded with deep approval.

"Captain of the second phase, how long will it take for this airship to be debugged and officially set sail?" Gordon asked the question he was most concerned about.

The leader of the second phase team gave Gordon a hard slap on the back, "Don't worry! Yesterday we replaced the aging parts overnight, and now the debugging is almost complete. It can be put into use tomorrow!"

Gordon was relieved when he heard this, but fortunately it wasn't an answer like "I'll have to wait at least another week."

Fortunately, with the coordination of the supplies team, the first batch of supplies is almost ready. It seems that we can set off tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

My companions on the other side of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland may not be able to wait any longer.

At this time, Feng Ying suddenly poked Gordon's waist, "Master Gordon, didn't you say you need to prepare some 'added' stuff for the pork chop? Are you ready?"

"I almost forgot about this." Gordon curled his fingers and tapped his forehead.

"After dinner last night, it kept itself locked in the studio and asked people from the material class to send a lot of materials in. I'm afraid it would make something quite scary."

"Pretty scary stuff. Well, this should be considered a good thing, right?"
