Chapter 236 City of Sky - Take off!
Two tense months passed quietly.
The day when the sky city is about to rise has finally come!
It was an ordinary day full of sandstorms.
At dawn, everyone was awakened by the emergency ringtone.
The hot wind and sand blew on the face, unable to extinguish the fanatical heart.
The power system of the Sky City is actually quite average, and the power provided by humans is seriously insufficient, resulting in extremely slow flight speed of the city.
The wind-driven by sandstorms is actually a good supplement.
Before four o''clock, Lu Yuan got up early. He was in a very good mood. He wore an exquisite dress left by the green civilization, which looked a bit like a tuxedo. The exquisite leaf patterns brought a sense of gorgeousness.
Miss Conch was also dressed up beautifully, wearing a lace round-neck sweater and a flowery skirt that outlined her slender waist and bulging breasts.
There is also a pink flower of a poppy tree on her head, which looks playful and cute.
"You don''t show up, why are you dressed so well?" Lu Yuan took a few glances and said that the beautiful girl was really pleasing to the eye.
"This scene will be recorded in the Green Paradise to educate the descendants!" Conch jumped, holding a small flower and wearing it on Lu Yuan''s chest, and said with a smile, "Master, I hope the city will not fall!"
Lu Yuan immediately stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair into a ball. He ran away happily in the girl''s anger.
5 o''clock in the morning.
Various working groups have already had breakfast in the cafeteria.
Today, the aunt in the canteen stopped shaking her hands and the food was very large.
Everyone talks and laughs, and the air is filled with a sense of enthusiasm and expectation.
At five o''clock in the morning, the large army also gathered, and the elderly and children were wearing their best clothes.
Lu Yuan shouted: "Friends, today is a day to test the fruits of labor. Let us look forward to the harvest after working hard."
"City of the Sky, just today, officially takes off!"
Waves of cheers spread throughout the city.
The winding vines of the poppy tree extend to every corner of the city, blooming one green leaf after another, emitting a faint green light.
The entire heritage of the Sky City is piled up in the inner ring.
Whether it is useful or useless, it is full of warehouses.
Some large objects cannot be piled up at all and can only be placed in the open air.
“Oil reserves, totaling 1.68 million cubic meters.”
"The power unit is operating normally!"
"The metal warehouse reserves a total of 21.82 million tons of metal."
Lu Yuan counted the assets, and it was really stuffed and couldn''t be stuffed at all.
The time to test the final results has come. Everyone has been working hard for this day for a year and six months, but whether it can succeed is still an unknown...
"I order all civilians except the working group to leave the Sky City! Temporarily evacuate to the surrounding villages."
"Led by Sakaner, don''t leave any people behind in the middle!"
"I understand!" Sakaner saluted and rode on the giant insect "drawer".
On the back of each "gatherer", more than a thousand villagers were sitting, heading towards the direction of the village.
This is naturally for safety.
If the rise of the sky city fails and falls in mid-air, they will still have a chance to survive.
"You three follow us to take care of it to avoid accidents."
"I have the ability to protect myself."
The three king insects bowed slightly: "Yes!"
flap your wings and leave.
The "drawer" moved very fast in the desert. In less than half an hour, he ran more than 30 kilometers.
The black crowd stood on the back of the insects, staring eagerly in the direction of the horizon.
People are nervous but full of expectations.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan''s voice came from the remote intercom: "I order... the City of Sky, the City of Green, officially launched!"
"Countdown, ten seconds..."
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
As the countdown ended, this city that had been in decline for four thousand years had completely recovered at this moment!
"Boom"!
The sky collapsed and the earth trembled.
Huge amounts of dust fluttered, forming a huge wave of air, advancing in all directions like a tsunami.
People heard intermittent conversations between various working groups on the walkie-talkie.
"Report! The power grid is stable...Generator set, normal!"
"The poppy tree is quite stable, and the energy circuit system is normal."
"Pandora Crystal Anti-Gravity System, officially activated, the gravity of the rock is being offset... A small number of abnormal suspensions have occurred, and the rising speed is somewhat abnormal."
People''s hearts were tugging. They didn''t understand what "exceptionally suspended" meant, but just a heart, tightly clinging.
…
Lu Yuan and others, located in the center of the city, were also sweating profusely. Perhaps because the energy output was a little high, the city''s rise was really fast, and they rushed up like a bird, and many people fell directly to the ground!
The construction of the Sky City is a systematic project.
After offsetting the gravity of the rock, the city will be lifted up by atmospheric pressure and suspended like a balloon. (Not rocky part, cannot be offset.)
At this time, it is required that a little gravity must be retained so that the urban gravity and atmospheric buoyancy remain relatively stable.
"There were some errors in the original urban tonnage calculation, which was reducing the energy output of the anti-gravity system."
"The abnormal suspension phenomenon is disappearing, the current height is 250 meters...260 meters...270 meters."
“City is currently stable.”
I don’t know if it was because of nervousness or excitement, but the onlookers were silent, just their eyes widened.
They watched the dust grow stronger and stronger, like a mushroom cloud that exploded from a nuclear bomb, constantly spreading in all directions.
"I saw the City of Sky! Haha!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed young man shouted, "It''s really flying!"
“Can we escape from the desert?”
More and more people are seeing that city.
"Blessed by our ancestors, the stones can really fly." Sakaner murmured to himself. He placed one hand on his eyebrows and saw a cube-like thing rising slowly from the mushroom cloud, flying higher and higher.
The rest of the people also held their breath, without blinking, and cheers and lively discussions were mixed together.
At this moment, outside the horizon, the red sun is rising in the east.
This is a sunrise that shines through the past and present!
Along with the slowly rising red sun, the city of the sky also rose, bathed in the vast sunlight.
There has never been such a warm light in the world. Even the sun seems to be drunk today, not so violent, dyeing the whole sky into a drunken red.
More and more people see the rising sky city, and tears of happiness suddenly flow out of their eyes!
They did it, they... were able to leave this desert.
The people soon became a sea of ??joy and celebrated loudly. Some people''s joy is because of escaping and ascension. They actually did not participate too much, but were shocked... It''s really amazing that a stone city can really rise.
There are also some people who are moved by their efforts. When they think of the day and night of study, struggle and practice, everything is obtained from nothing and through labor.
They really paid a lot for this action.
They suddenly felt that just for this minute of touching, everything, all the passion and sweat were worth it!
This kind of touch, this kind of joy, is not because of improvement in living conditions, nor because of escaping the threat of death, but is a kind of touch when ideals are realized.
They are not only happy, but also deeply proud.
…
…
"The current altitude is 14,000 meters... The city has good stability and low bumps."
At this moment, Lu Yuan stood at the highest point of the poppy tree, looking down at the vast desert, and his heroic spirit suddenly became.
This scene is indeed shocking!
The lonely smoke rises straight in the vast desert, the sun rises in endless high altitudes, and the rough wind and sand are trampled under my feet, and there is a sense of heroism that the whole world is in my hands.
The mass of Sky City is about 160 million tons, which is many times more exaggerated than the aerospace aircraft carrier in science fiction novels.
Pure physical technology is indeed unlikely to raise this behemoth.
But Weixin Technology did it!
As the gravity of the rock disappears, the city continues to rise.
The thickness of the atmosphere of Pangu Continent is much higher than that of the earth, and 14,000 meters will not cause hypoxia.
According to the data of the green civilization, if there is strong idealism interference above the atmosphere, the Pandora crystal may fail, causing the anti-gravity system to lose control; and if the height is too low, it may be attacked by monsters.
Therefore, the average lift-off height is 20,000 to 30,000 meters, which is a very comfortable range. Even if you are not lucky enough to encounter natural disasters like "demons and ghosts", as long as these guys cannot fly, they may not be able to come up.
"I order to stabilize the altitude to 20,000 meters."
"Open the start force system! Go towards the direction of the village!"
[Look at your proud look, fortunately you are dressed beautifully and have a sense of ritual! 】As the controller of the poppy tree, conch takes a break from its busy schedule and sends telepathy.
"Such a big baby has risen, and I can''t be proud."
“Boom!”
Several giant propellers began to rotate and propel the city - this thing is like a wind turbine, with blades just having a length of 100 meters.
Its maintenance is very complicated, and it is currently only for a few owners of "craftsman talent" to repair it.
Lu Yuan was very worried that these propellers would fall apart halfway.
The giant propeller roared and creaked, and at least it started to move, with a sense of steampunk aesthetics.
"The dust storm speed is 57 kilometers per hour, which can produce a small amount of propulsion."
"The current speed of the Sky City is 0.09 kilometers per hour and the direction is 43.8 degrees southeast."
Well, this speed does fly very slowly.
Even if gravity is offset, the huge inertia is real and requires a slow acceleration process.
If you want to fly faster, you need some glyphs to reduce the friction of the air, a jet power system, and other miscellaneous things - of course this is another big project, and Lu Yuan has no time and energy to do it for the time being.
"Samo, how are you doing there? Can the generator be eaten?!" Lu Yuan asked in the walkie-talkie.
The balance of the Sky City and the operation of the propeller are projects personally supervised by Lao Mao, and they have been stabilized.
Power stations and power networks are the current wisest people, "super thinkers", and are personally supervised.
After all, he has only studied for two or three years. No matter how smart he is, everyone is still worried about his ability...
Yes, even Sandor himself is worried, afraid that he will not be able to complete the task!
But there is nothing to do.
There is no talent at all now. There is only one smart old cat and only one conch. He cannot hold multiple positions, so he can only drive the duck to put it on the shelves!
"I''m checking the parameters of the machine!"
He clenched his fists with both hands, and his whole palm was already blue and purple. Looking back on the past day, he felt sad.
He brought a man to repair the generator. Because the original instrument was seriously damaged, he had to disassemble it for repair and then find a way to assemble it!
It is equivalent to rebuilding it again.
He also calculated the power himself.
He believes in himself and his colleagues, but things are still nervous!
Nowadays, Sands can finally say a quiet sentence: "Report, the generator set is operating normally!"
"The power output of the power grid is stable!"
"Guo Weiqiang, is there any abnormality in the load-bearing structure?"
Comrade Guo Weiqiang, who was in charge of the group in Jiewen, also took a lot of pressure.
With the offset of gravity, the load-bearing structure of a city is different from before, and some pressure becomes tension. In this case, the city may indeed fall apart.
As a rare person who can understand the "solid glyphs", he has a great responsibility and is trying to strengthen the city every day.
“The current main structure, no problem!”
Lu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
But he knew that the matter was not over yet. The city was flying, so he had to find a way to land. If he couldn''t land safely, it would be unsuccessful.
He calmly issued an order: "I order each group to check the city''s conditions and check whether there is any structural breakage."
"The City of Sky officially flew for two days, and then officially landed two days later."
A series of instructions were sent over in an orderly manner and passed to various working groups.
…
…
Two days passed quickly.
After the initial trial voyage, the city slowly landed from an altitude of 20,000 meters.
With a light "boom", the City of Sky landed around the village, once again blew up the dust.
In fact, after the anti-gravity system is turned on, it has to be "half-open".
Because there is very little land that can carry 160 million tons of mass at once.
Such a large city, if it is directly released to the ground, landslides and earthquakes are likely to occur.
Therefore, reducing urban gravity and allowing the ground to carry it is a very complex but important link.
The bigger the city, the more difficult it is to adjust the energy demand.
Fortunately, human beings have the legacy of green civilization, and the regulation of gravity has always been completed by Green Land Paradise.
But in the long run, if you want to build a larger new city, you must understand the specific principles and add new energy.
