Chapter 341: [340] Falcon Speedboat

"Splash!"

The torrential rain pounded the endless expanse of water, making the water seem to boil.

This is not the sea.

It is an artificial lake on Tianye Lian.

Its name is Beixia Lake.

This is one of the three lakes used for breeding green rice shrimp.

The other two lakes are named Nanxia Lake and Dongxia Lake.

"Buzz~"

Accompanied by the vibration of an internal combustion engine.

A strange-looking boat zoomed across the lake at a speed of over 80 kilometers per hour, leaving behind a foamy white wake.

This speed is nearly three times faster than a wooden boat.

There is an eagle wood carving on the top of the boat, with its wings spread out, seemingly a decoration.

Two soldiers wearing standard armor stood on the boat.

The chest of the armor was carved with a lifelike "eagle claw" pattern, indicating that they were soldiers of the Falcon Corps.

One soldier controlled the steering wheel with both hands, while the other soldier occasionally scanned the surface of the lake.

Looking out.

The water surface was covered with small light green balls, each about the size of a thumb, floating and sinking in the pouring rain, like patches of green carpet.

"Splash~"

The waves swept by.

The balls seemed startled and jumped up in unison, leaping about half a meter before falling back into the water.

In fact.

They are not animals.

They are a unique type of algae in this world called bouncing ball algae.

The term "bouncing ball" in its name comes from the fact that when the bouncing ball algae sense abnormal sounds, they will jump up one after another.

And now, it is the peak breeding season for bouncing ball algae, and large patches of them can be seen everywhere.

Looking carefully underwater.

Vaguely, one can see green shadows, about the size of a thumb, swiftly darting around below the algae.

They are the green rice shrimp.

After traveling a few hundred meters, the two soldiers began to talk loudly.

"The 'Falcon Speedboat' feels like floating on the water when driving it. I don't think it's much worse than the Falcon."

"This thing is not very useful in Qinghan Xuan Palace, but it is very suitable in this world!"

"Yeah! The power of the wooden boat and the clumsy gray crystal machinery are slow to operate, but the Falcon Speedboat is light and agile, much more convenient to use."

Since the invention of the internal combustion engine, under Cheng Han's guidance, the craftsmen have installed it on various tools, creating various versions of the Kemo vehicles.

The so-called "Falcon Speedboat" is one of them.

This time, when the aircraft carrier fleet arrived in the other world, it brought a batch of Falcon Speedboats.

In recent days, these speedboats have made a large-scale appearance and have been deployed to the three Tianye Lian.

Equipped with two new types of mysterious weapons, these speedboats patrol the waterways between Tianye Lian, almost exterminating the nearby "wolf fish."

The many crew members who come and go on wooden boats, as long as they see the speedboats on the sea, excitedly wave and cheer.

Nowadays, in the hearts of the crew members, the image of the Falcon Corps is even taller than the central courtyard.

And in the eyes of a group of mysterious scholars in the central courtyard, this is another proof that Commander Cheng is "very good at causing trouble."

In the pouring rain.

The two soldiers continued to chat.

"The Falcon Speedboats are good, but there are too few of them, only 1,200. It's simply not enough."

"I heard something yesterday. The Lingxiang Demon Factory is about to start producing internal combustion engines, and the first batch will be used to make Falcon Speedboats."

"That's good news! Our Falcon Corps not only needs to guard the sky and the sea in the theater, but also protect the ocean in the theater!"

This sentence was filled with a sense of pride.

"I also heard that the Yunying Corps doesn't seem to be very happy. They hope the factory can fully produce Falcons."

"And then?"

"Commander Cheng said that the current fuel reserves are not much, and Falcons consume too much fuel, so they won't produce Falcons for now."

"This is indeed a serious problem. Without enough fuel, the Warhawk cannot engage in combat."

"Yes, unfortunately the environment here is so harsh. The survival rate of the stone fruit trees is too low, and without enough stone fruit, it is impossible to extract fuel."

Just then,

Something suddenly happened in the sky.

A Warhawk emerged from a dark cloud, dragging a long trail of black smoke, and crashed into the nearby inland sea.

The North Shrimp Lake is less than a kilometer away from the inland sea, making it possible to see any activity in the sea from any position on the lake.

A few seconds later,

"Boom!"

The Warhawk crashed into the sea, causing a spray of water to fill the sky.

The two soldiers looked at each other and shouted in unison, "Save them!"

Guo Wen, the soldier driving the speedboat, didn't hesitate to turn the steering wheel and head towards the inland sea.

The other soldier, named Liang Xiangjie, shouted, "I'll set the engine to maximum."

He quickly walked to the stern of the boat and quickly adjusted the internal combustion engine to its limit.

"Buzz~"

The vibration increased by a notch.

The speed of the speedboat soared to 120 kilometers per hour, and the boat became quite turbulent.

But the two soldiers, who were highly skilled warriors, remained steady.

Guo Wen looked worriedly at the spot where the Warhawk had crashed, saying, "The left wing of the Warhawk is broken, probably damaged by something."

In other words, the Warhawk had been through a battle.

Liang Xiangjie's expression wasn't good either. "In the recent battle, we exterminated the nearby flying swordfish. Could it be that a new group of flying swordfish has migrated here?"

Guo Wen nodded, "It's possible."

Soon,

The speedboat reached the edge of the lake.

Due to the super heavy rain, many drainage channels were built along the lake.

The overflowing lake water flowed out through the channels, naturally forming rivers that led straight to the inland sea.

Guo Wen controlled the speedboat and rammed straight into the dam at the edge of the lake, shouting, "Lao Liang, you control the flying eagle!"

Liang Xiangjie nodded heavily, "Okay!"

He reached out and pressed a crystal board, inputting a spiritual power.

"Buzz!"

The entire speedboat trembled.

The eagle statue on the top of the boat suddenly emitted a faint light.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two also heard an illusory sound, as if it was the sound of an eagle flapping its wings.

In the next moment,

The speedboat suddenly soared into the air, flying nearly ten meters high in an instant, easily crossing the dam.

It turned out that the statue was not just a decoration.

It was a magical tool that could temporarily control the wind.

This "Flying Eagle" statue was the origin of the name "Flying Eagle Speedboat."

This was also Cheng Han's design proposal.

The wind-controlling ability brought by the magical tool greatly enhanced the maneuverability of the speedboat. It could chase enemies faster and retreat quickly in dangerous situations.

When the first Flying Eagle Speedboat was born in Qinghan Xuan Palace, a group of craftsmen experimented with it and praised the idea.

At this moment,

The speedboat glided in the air for more than five hundred meters, accurately landing in a river.

"Splash~"

The splashes were not big.

The speedboat glided forward lightly, using the power of the wind control, and its speed broke through the barrier of 200 kilometers per hour.

Just ten seconds later,

The Flying Eagle Speedboat arrived at the crash site.

The Warhawk had not completely sunk yet, and a piece of its tail wing was still floating on the water's surface.

If the speedboat had arrived at a normal speed, it would have taken at least two to three minutes, and by then, the Warhawk would have sunk hundreds of meters deep and would be difficult to find.
