After Edward and the others boarded the airship, they found that the airship seemed to have been modified differently. There were many metal structures on its outer shell, which were connected to each other in a complex and symmetrical geometric pattern. It was a complicated layout that made people dizzy, but it was relatively isolated from the inside. It looked like a useless metal sweater.
There was a compass and sextant on the airship for positioning. Otherwise, it would be extremely easy to get lost in a place like North Africa, which was full of yellow sand and had no obvious features. Looking down from the airship, the scenery seemed to have never changed. Except for the green belt along the Nile River, the rest of the land was dry, yellow, and barren.
Zhang Ziqiang saw Chen Ang staring at the horizon in the distance and could not help but panic. He quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Imoden? "
Chen Ang shook his head. "Imoden is fine. After all, no matter what Anubis is planning, he will first let Imoden enter the Aimsy Oasis. We are the ones who will be in trouble. If Anubis wants to stop us from entering the Aimsy Oasis, he will definitely make a move on the way. " After saying that, Chen Ang smiled slightly. "I just did not expect him to make a move now. I thought it would be a little later …"
Shaking his head, Chen Ang ordered, "The sandstorm is coming. Get ready!"
Edward and the others also heard Chen Ang's order. They were a little nervous, but generally remained calm. After all, for Reincarnators, encountering a sandstorm at an altitude of more than a thousand meters was not a very troublesome thing.
David was slightly puzzled. "You knew we would encounter a sandstorm?" he asked.
Chen Ang nodded. "Of course. What is more suitable to stop us in the desert than a sandstorm? Even if the sandstorm can't hurt us, it can at least make us lose our direction. This sandstorm has the divine power of Anubis, which can interfere with the magnetic field. The yellow sand will cover the sky, and even the sextant's navigation will be useless. From this point of view, Anubis is not stupid.
"He knows what the biggest enemy of desert travelers is, and he has also seen through our weaknesses. He has made full use of the environment we are in. Even Reincarnators will be trapped in a harsh environment like the sandstorm when they lose all means of navigation. As long as we are trapped for three days, everything in the Aimsy Oasis will be settled."
David's expression froze slightly. He said with difficulty, "Then why did you choose to travel by the most affected airship? I remember you controlled the air base in Cairo! Using a biplane is less affected by the environment than an airship, and it is faster. "
At this time, the sky was already dusky yellow. Looking down from the airship, countless strands of yellow sand were swept up by the strong wind, rising from the ground. Wisps of dusky yellow were pulled away from the withered earth, gradually turning into a dark yellow. On the opposite side of the airship, a curtain of yellow sand swept over. Xiao Bolang shouted, "The sandstorm is coming! All units, get ready! "
At this time, Chen Ang was still answering David. He said calmly, "Indeed, compared to airships, airplanes have an absolute advantage in terms of environmental resistance and speed. Airships have nothing but comfort. And I can also tell you that according to the airship's normal speed, we will enter the Aimsy Oasis half a day later than Imoden. "
"So I didn't intend to let this airship travel normally from the beginning," Chen Ang said with a smile.
He asked in return, "Do you know why I knew that Anubis would cause a sandstorm, but I still chose the airship with the most impact?" After saying that, Chen Ang did not seem to expect their answer. He looked at the sandstorm in the distance and said contemptuously, "Because we want to prove to Anubis that we are stronger than him. We have to move forward with an indomitable momentum and crush all his means."
"Only in this way can we be more deeply involved in this situation."
At this time, the airship was affected by the strong wind and could no longer maintain a normal route. The clouds in the sky with the airship as the center formed a large vortex that covered dozens of miles. Chen Ang looked at the huge vortex with a calm and indifferent expression. Edward keenly observed the abnormality of the weather.
Edward keenly observed the abnormality of the weather. The huge whirlpool in the sky should not have appeared in the midst of a sandstorm. Naturally, it would affect the entire system. Its various systems were interconnected, and there would not be any unnecessary signs, nor would there be any contradictory phenomena. Even Anubis could not, or rather, had no need to, go against nature and create a tropical cyclone in the sky when the sandstorm was rampaging in the sea of sand below.
"This should be your preparation!" Edward looked at Chen Ang in surprise.
"Anubis is an Egyptian god. Even if his priesthood does not involve the weather, it is not difficult for him to cause a sandstorm with his own characteristics. But how did you go against nature to create a hurricane under the suppression of Anubis' divine power?"
"How did I do it?" Chen Ang explained, "Wind and thunder are a pair of opposite trigrams in the Eight Diagrams. In the martial arts side, there is often a saying that 'wind and thunder stimulate each other'. In scientific research, storms drive the generation of thunder and lightning. This is easy to understand because the movement of the atmosphere causes the friction between the clouds to increase and the number of charged particles to increase. It should be said that most thunder and lightning are generated by wind, but the formation of wind is due to the uneven heating of the atmosphere on a macroscopic level."
"Therefore, when wind and thunder stimulate each other, wind generates thunder, but thunder can't stimulate wind. Unless … "
A trace of shock flashed in David's eyes. He felt that he seemed to have touched a very deep hidden trump card of team Nine States. He hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"
"Unless the atmosphere is magnetized!" A member of team Nine States that David had never seen before continued Chen Ang's words. He was Yinglong. "Magnetizing a large area of the atmosphere will cause the charged particles to spread in a certain range. The amount of charge in the atmosphere will rise sharply, and when the electromagnetic field changes violently, it will also cause the atmosphere to move."
Edward was the first to deny this statement. "Impossible. Not to mention the amount of calculation required for this theory, the energy required is also an astronomical figure. To cause the atmosphere to be charged, the energy consumed is already very terrifying. And to create a huge storm, the scope and space must reach a certain extent, at least covering dozens of square kilometers. "
"Even if we take out a month's worth of electricity in the world, it won't be enough."
Neither Yinglong nor Chen Ang answered, but the strong wind in the sky had gradually formed, presenting an unprecedented spectacle in front of Edward and the others. The movement of the atmosphere at the bottom and the movement of the atmosphere at the middle and upper levels completely contradicted each other, even diverging from each other. The movement of the air at the high altitude and the strong wind brazenly pressed down, and the collision between the two created an unprecedented turbulence.
