At 12: 30 PM Beijing time, Dafei was awakened from his nap by the sound of a system notification:
— System Notification: Congratulations! The Sky Ship's propulsion system has been successfully installed on your Soar. Please check and accept it!
The moment I've been waiting for is finally here! Dafei hurriedly got up to take a look and saw a huge black balloon on top of the Soar. The mast that had been cut off had been replaced by four metal pipes. These four pipes were ejecting black gas to inflate the balloon.
Seine was already waiting at the side. "City Lord, the installation has been completed. Please come aboard the ship and accept it. Our technicians will teach you how to operate it. It's very simple!"
Dafei excitedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
And so, Dafei followed Seine to the captain's room. There was suddenly an additional magic crystal console in the captain's room. There were a few magic crystal screens, a steering wheel, a few instrument panels, and a large row of brightly coloured buttons on the console. Below each button were the words "Take off", "Land", "Accelerate", "Climb", "Autopilot", "Jet", "Stealth", and so on.
Seine introduced, "This is the Sky Ship's console. City Lord, you can use this to check the Sky Ship's current stats."
Dafei excitedly checked the stats:
— — Sky Ship: Air Transport, Divine Equipment, Defence 100, Durability 200,000, Speed 11, Magic Resistance 70%, Fire Resistance 95%, Special Skills: Self-recovery, Balloon Stealth, Super Tenacity, Jet, Autopilot.
Self-recovery: The Sky Ship recovers 1% of its durability every 10 seconds.
Balloon Stealth: The Sky Ship's balloon can remain invisible for a long time. Using this skill consumes additional resources.
Super Tenacity: When the total physical damage received in the same area is less than 30 points in 10 seconds, the Sky Ship will not lose durability.
Jet: The Sky Ship can rapidly eject gas from the balloon to increase its speed by 3 times. Once Jet is used, the Sky Ship will rapidly fall to the ground. Do not use it at low altitudes.
Autopilot: The Sky Ship has an AI function that can drive itself on a large map.
。。。。。
These were the Sky Ship's stats! Its durability was actually higher than the current Soar, which greatly exceeded Dafei's expectations. At the same time, he felt a lot more secure about the balloon.
Seine continued, "The Sky Boat is also divided into two functions: self-driving and manual driving. Under normal circumstances, the City Lord only needed to press the button for autopilot. As long as the City Lord gave the general direction on the map, the balloon would automatically adjust its altitude and speed, as well as automatically avoid obstacles. While driving on autopilot, the City Lord could also adjust the speed and altitude. The most difficult part was landing. After landing, they had to choose a coordinate and use autopilot. Then these screens can monitor the bottom of the ship, the top of the balloon, the back of the balloon, and other blind spots of normal vision. "
Dafei was confused and could only nod repeatedly. "Oh, oh, oh!"
Finally, Seine smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the City Lord doesn't remember it. Our team will leave behind 10 professional technicians to train them in sailing. After the City Lord has mastered it, you can ask them to withdraw at any time."
You should have said so earlier! Dafei breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that there are technicians to train!"
Dafei thought of something else. "However, my ship is going to be engaged in a cross-region battle soon. What if the battle is fierce and affects the safety of the technicians?"
Seine shook his head and said seriously, "This is a necessary after-sales service for a product worth 10 billion yuan. Life and death are already out of the question. Please don't worry about it, City Lord."
How could he not mention the fact that it was worth 10 billion yuan? Dafei could only say indifferently, "So that's how it is!"
Seine said again, "Alright, then City Lord, please experience the flexibility of the Sky Ship in this underground space. Take off!"
The technician repeated the order. "Yes, Sky Ship, take off now!"
With a slight tremor, the Sky Ship began to pull the hull of the ship and slowly took off. Sure enough, the monitor screen showed the view of the bottom of the ship and the top of the balloon.
Dafei's heart skipped a beat. This really was a freaking spaceship. This was really a different game from the one he used to play!
Then, under the technician's guidance, Dafei also tried to press a few buttons and turn the steering wheel a few times. As expected, it was easy to learn, and he got it right away. Come to think of it, this was a game, after all. If driving a ship in a game was more painful than getting a driver's license, then what was the point of playing?
While playing happily, Dafei naturally did not forget about Tamilia. "Come, come, come, Tamilia is the first mate. Come and try it too!"
Tamilia was pleasantly surprised. "Okay! I want to try it too! "
Anlícia also said anxiously, "I want to try it too, I want to try it too!"
Dafei laughed heartily. "Don't rush, everyone, do it one by one, don't do it together!" If it was on the bed, of course, they could do it as they pleased.
Now, the Sky Ship carried Soar up and down in the underground space of the Pond of Light, moving left and right. It was easy to operate and flexible.
But Dafei soon found a problem. "Is the speed of the Sky Ship always like this? Is it not affected by navigation or logistics skills? "
Seine smiled and said, "Lord, we are now flying. We are neither sailing nor marching on the ground. Of course, we are not affected by navigation or logistics skills."
Dafei hurriedly asked, "Is there no aviation skills?"
Shane smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, your question really stumped me. I don't know."
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. If the NPC said there was no such thing, then there must be no such thing! If he said he didn't know, then maybe it was possible? Maybe it was like a navigator, a new and imperfect profession? No, it was an unprecedented profession that needed to be invented by the players?
While thinking, Seine said again, "Now that Lord understands the driving situation, let's talk about the power of the ship. The power furnace of the Sky Ship is divided into two parts: the resource power furnace and the conventional power furnace. The resource power furnace is another core technology of the Sky Ship. It can convert any strategic resources except wood and stone into power for flight. The furnace also has a huge resource storage space that can store 1000 units of resources. This greatly solves the problem of carrying the Sky Ship. This is also a cutting-edge technology that the poor goblins can never surpass. "
So that's how it is! My Soar only has 500 units of cargo. I was still thinking about the fuel problem. Don't force me to change the cannons!
Dafei suddenly felt that it was worth it. "It seems that the 1000 units of resource storage space is indeed a divine artifact."
Tamilia smiled and said, "Lord, we already have the Holy Vine space. We don't really care about carrying fuel."
Damn! Dafei's good mood, which had just risen, was instantly shattered.
Cheyenne hurriedly said, "It's even better with the Holy Vine space. The City Lord will be able to carry more fuel! It's more convenient for long distance sailing. "
Dafei's mood improved again. He hurriedly checked the fuel gauge.
"In other words, we've burned 8 units of mercury in just a few minutes of flight?" Dafei asked in shock. This gas guzzler is even more ferocious than the Sandworm Mining Machine!
Seine nodded. "Yes! For a lord with a mercury mine, fuel is not a problem at all. However, the Sky Ark's fuel consumption was unavoidable, so the Sky Ark had a second mode of power, which was to reduce operating costs by burning wood and oil. In fact, this is the normal operation of the Sky Ship. The conventional power furnace also has 1000 units of fuel space. So if the Sky Ship is fully fueled, the two power furnaces alone can store 2000 units of fuel. With the additional reserves from the Holy Vine space, the Lord's long-distance sailing ability is unbeatable! "
Damn it, luckily I still have a mercury mine! Dafei asked the question he was most concerned about. "How long can I fly with 2000 units of fuel?"
Seine replied, "About 1000 minutes. But the Lord has condensed mercury, so it's different. You can increase your endurance by 10 times. You can even fly all over the new world! "
Dafei vomited a mouthful of blood! 1000 minutes, 16 hours? That's not even enough for me to sleep. Who can I find to replenish my fuel in the wild? Don't tell me I'm really going to burn condensed mercury? I haven't even started to use the artifact to make a fortune, but I'm already squandering!
Finally, Seine concluded, "Lord, it's better for you to use normal sailing mode. The Sky Ship has a retractable mode. You can keep balloons in the cabin. That way, other than the few iron pipes, it looks no different from a normal sailboat. Do you have any questions, Lord? "
Dafei exhaled deeply. "Well, I want to play high-altitude bombing. Do you have any bombs?"
Seine was stunned. He shook his head. "No!"
Dafei was speechless. You've already let me enter the era of space battleships, but there are no bombs! How can I live up to the design of the Kirov Airship without bombs! How can I live up to the value of ten billion?
Dafei's eyes turned red. "How can there be no bombs?"
Seine said woodenly, "There really isn't!"
Alright, maybe this is the limitation of the game's balance rules. The game does not allow things like taking a dump at high altitudes to the point where the enemy can't fight back. But my smurf account has been pooped on by a large group of birdmen in the wilderness. This means that I can still play high-altitude bombing in the game!
Bombing doesn't necessarily require bombs!
Dafei asked again, "Can I invest in fuel to attack the ground while flying? It's like investing in fuel when defending a city. "
Seine's eyebrows twitched. "You should have said so earlier. You could have just thrown stones. The destructive power of a high-altitude object is beyond imagination! However, normal stone resources can't be used as stones. Lord, you can specially buy stone bombs for siege engines. However, this will greatly increase the load of the Sky Ship, and the consumption of fuel will be much higher. "
Dafei was speechless. You gave me a space battleship, and then taught me to invest in stones with it!
