Many people had misconceptions about airships. They thought that they were fast, free, and safe, but they consumed a lot of fuel. They were superior to planes in all aspects.
In fact, there were already many airship companies in the Aishi World.
Compared to regular airships, airships were faster and had lower fuel consumption. Although they did not have the advantage of taking off and landing at will, they were not a problem for long and stable passenger routes.
Historically speaking, Eich's original airships were all airships that could fly. Although the airships had been modified for the sake of flying, the design concept of large engines, thick airships, and heavy airships hadn't changed at all over the years.
Eich had never been peaceful. These large airships were meant to be weapons on the battlefield from the very start. Heavy armor and powerful cannons were the most practical design concepts. As long as the weight increased, it would be impossible to increase the airship's speed. And if the airship's speed decreased, it would naturally increase the airship's time and risk, such as space pirates and flying magical beasts.
And for the sake of safety, even civilian airships would be equipped with airship cannons and guards, as well as additional armor. This vicious cycle continued. This was Eich's design philosophy for airships. Airships were always designed to be like airships on the sea. Airships with higher tonnage, thicker armor, and larger cannons.
Of course, it wasn't that there were no advantages. For example, Eich's airships were expensive and slow, but they also had excellent living conditions. During the long airship journey, there would be pleasure and entertainment similar to a yacht, so it wouldn't be too hard to endure.
The airship from Mount Sainte to Cape Town was the Flying Elephant X3 passenger airship. It could carry more than two thousand people, but in reality, it could only carry three hundred to five hundred people. If the number of people was too low, the flight would be postponed to the next day. Although in Rorschach's eyes, this was the custom of the Aishi People.
There was a small cinema, a dance hall, and a library on it. It was the most popular type of entertainment here. Even Rorschach was used to looking for miscellaneous books in the library to waste time.
However, Rorschach had something on his mind now, so he had been idling on the deck.
Even if he knew that the journey would not be shortened because of his stare, he still felt inexplicably anxious waiting below.
It was also a good thing to enjoy the breeze above.
"Another four hours?"
"Yes, sir. The journey this time was quite smooth. We shouldn't be late."
Roxia asked Sailor and received a positive answer. Roxia nodded silently.
He cast his gaze forward. The demonic fog that obstructed his vision was almost non-existent to him. He was still in the mountains and wilderness, but there were already traces of villages and tracks on the ground.
This was not the railway network of Cape Town and Vila Nova Dônia. Rorschach guessed that it should be a mining area, an affiliated town, and a transport line.
The primary industry of the Harlet Wasteland was always mining. The scorched land of the Great Wasteland that was repeatedly whipped by the thunder was, in fact, unusually fertile. However, no one went into agriculture. After all, the thunder season came before you could harvest. Even if you could harvest in time, the land would be struck by the thunder for half a year, and everything would have to start all over again.
The mining industry, which focused on underground mining, was not only not affected by the weather, but was also affected by the high magnetic and high energy. The characteristic of this place was that the content of rare and magical metals was abnormally high. As long as nothing happened, the mining area would be able to make a profit in two or three years. This attracted many professional mine owners to come over.
After a few glances, Rorschach was tired of it. The scenery was as usual. Others probably would not have the chance to see it more than a few times, but he had long been tired of it.
"You're enjoying the breeze here? The surroundings are dark, and you're still interested. Oh, you can see it. It's really unfair."
Seviala, who came to find Rorschach, was a little puzzled at first as to why Rorschach would come to the dark deck. Then, she suddenly understood and was a little envious.
Rorschach smiled slightly and was too lazy to explain anything.
"Why are you here? The wind is still quite cold here. If you catch a cold and die, I won't be able to explain it to your father."
Since he was almost there, he might as well talk about something casually.
When Seviala heard this, her expression became strange.
"You really kill the conversation as soon as you open your mouth. You're destined to be alone."
"Ha, I'm sorry. Not only do I have a girlfriend, but I'm also unmarried."
In an instant, the situation became a little awkward. Seviala's face was also flushed red. Only then did the two of them notice that they were unmarried and that they were traveling alone.
Was this an early honeymoon? Uh, just thinking about it made Rorschach feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Isabella."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him, scaring Rorschach and making him jump up.
"Ha, such an intense reaction. Guilty conscience?"
Rorschach turned his head shakily and pointed at the familiar person.
"Su Nanna, why are you here?!"
The Dark Elf who was playing with the silver needle was squatting on the deck at some point.
The moment he saw her, Rorschach's face turned pale.
"Ha, why can't I be here? Your bounty is higher than mine now. Lori wants me to protect you secretly. Why did I scare you? Are you really planning to elope with this little girl? "
At this moment, Rorschach was silent. Seviala who was watching the show suddenly remembered a legend, a legend that she had witnessed before.
"This is' Sinking All Ships' Su Nanna?"
This time, it was Su Nanna's turn to be confused.
She wasn't stupid and immediately knew what Rorschach's expression meant.
"Superstition, it's all superstition. I was afraid that you would think too much, so I stayed hidden."
"What, you stayed on the ship?? You actually stayed on this ship? "
Rorschach's expression was unsightly to the extreme. His eyes wandered as he searched for the lifeboat.
"Bastard, we're almost there! That's superstition, superstition. "
"Kaboom!"
The violent explosion caused the scene to become as silent as a graveyard. Then, someone shouted.
"Attack! Engine number three exploded, the ship is sinking! "
