Chapter 92 Airship
Clear out the hunter’s cabin that has been inhabited for almost a year, pack all the materials and personal items in the storage box, and ask the caravan to help send it out.
It was still dark, so Gordon took the pork chop and quietly left the hunter's meeting place.
There is no need to say hello to friends anymore. At the farewell reception last night, everything that needs to be said has been said. At this time, all you need to do is set off quietly.
“Where are we going now, meow?”
Pig Chop, who was carrying his small package, noticed that the direction they were heading at this time was not the route out of the city. He couldn't help but asked in confusion.
“Chengxi, let’s go to the west of the city and take the airship.”
"Airship?! Are we going to the volcano by airship this time?" Piglet's ears stood up in excitement.
Gordon, who was also riding an airship for the first time, was equally excited.
"Yes! The president told me yesterday that there happened to be an airship from the Scrivener's team going to Naguli today. If necessary, you can take her letter of introduction and hitch a ride!"
One person and one cat almost trotted all the way to the airship platform located in the west of the city. It was a huge platform composed of two stone platforms about two stories high.
The gondola of the airship is fixed between two stone platforms by steel cables, and the airbag floats above the stone platforms. Two technicians are climbing on top of the cables to adjust the propeller and rudder.
Slightly different from the observation hot air balloons occasionally seen in hunting grounds, the airship is larger and has a more complex structure.
The huge pod looks like a wooden sea ship. Air bags and slings have replaced the original position of the sail mast. Intricate cables, power mechanisms, auxiliary sails, and various strange devices of unknown significance are all present. It shows that this thing is much more complicated and advanced than those sailboats.
“Wow~!” Looking at the airship, Gordon couldn't help but exclaimed in ignorance.
“Meow meow!” The same goes for pork chop.
“Haha, she is Yunfeihao, she is a beautiful beauty, isn’t she?”
The person who came to Gordon and the others with a big smile was a middle-aged man with strong muscles and dark skin. His hands and feet were thick, and his canvas sleeves and trouser legs were tied with thin ropes, giving him a neat and sophisticated feeling.
“Ah, hello, yes, she is very beautiful.” Gordon looked at the airship in front of him and admired sincerely.
Gordon's heartfelt praise made the man very satisfied. He took the initiative to shake Gordon's palm and introduced himself: "I am the operator of this airship. Everyone calls me Lao Hei, a young hunter. How can I help you?"
Gordon was not surprised that the other party could call out his profession. After all, only hunters in the world wore heavy armor and ran around all day long.
"My name is Gordon, and I'm going to Naguli Village. The president told me that I might be able to catch a ride. Oh, by the way, this is my letter of introduction." With that, Gordon handed the president to him. Hand over the scroll.
The old black middle-aged man glanced at Gordon in surprise. After taking the scroll, he did not open it directly. Instead, he turned around and shouted in the direction of the pod:
“Professor! Professor! Come here, there is a hunter with a letter of introduction from President Fan Ti!”
"boom!"
A flap on the pod deck was pushed open, and a short figure came out. He climbed up the side of the ship two or three times, and then slid along the fixed rope hanging on the pod to the rock where Gordon and the others were. On stage.
It wasn’t until he came in front of him that Gordon saw clearly that he was a short old man whose height barely reached his thigh.
The pointed ears and curved feet show his dragon-like identity.
He seemed to be in a hurry. Before Lao Hei could hand the scroll to him, he suddenly jumped up more than half a meter and snatched the scroll away.
���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Immediately afterwards, he jumped in front of Gordon. He pulled down some kind of optical instrument composed of many glass lenses and fine metal parts attached to the top of his head, put it on his eyes, and looked at Gordon.
Lenses of different sizes kept switching "click-click-click" under the professor's adjustment. Gordon looked through the lenses and watched his eyes enlarge and shrink.
“Well, the letter of introduction is fine, so it’s fine to give you a lift. Little girl Fanti said you are from Kokot Village. How is that old guy?”
The old dragon man whom Lao Hei calls "Professor" speaks and moves very fast, giving the impression that he is like a tin toy that has been wound up too much, even a little nervous.
The "old guy" in the professor's mouth obviously refers to the old village chief, who is also an old dragon tribe, and is the opposite of the slow old village chief.
“The village chief is very good, but he has become a bit senile in recent years. I mean he feels confused.”
“He pretended.”
The professor waved his hand and interrupted Gordon's words, and commented unceremoniously: "When you get Alzheimer's, that old guy who likes to waste his life will not become dementia. He can obviously use his limited life to explore the infinite mysteries of this world. , I don’t know what he is doing in that small village all day long.”
Gordon twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to answer the question, he had a bit of a toothache.
"The departure time is coming soon. Don't you two big and fat guys waste time here? Come and move supplies for me!" The professor jumped on his feet, and his sharp scoldings confused Gordon and Lao Hei's faces.
"Ah yes, yes!" Gordon subconsciously stood upright and followed Lao Hei, who was also shaken, as he trotted to work.
“And you!”
The professor turned to the pork chop, which was about the same height as him, "Do you think El Cat doesn't have to work anymore? You should hurry up and move the supplies for me!"
One extra person and one cat plus luggage and equipment is a load of 200 kilograms, plus corresponding drinking water and dry food. Did you tell them to prepare at least six more units of burning fossil carbon? Remember, remember, and go quickly! "
“Yes, yes, meow!”
When he actually boarded the Yunfei carrying a pile of boxes, Gordon once again marveled at the hugeness of this airship.
In his eyes, the Yunfei, which has a ten-meter-long pod and a huge airbag several times the size of the pod, is certainly a giant, but in fact, it can only be regarded as a small one among airships.
As for the real large airship.
The "Fourth New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team" that was discussed a lot among the hunter community a while ago took a large airship when it went to the New World.
It is said that that kind of airship can carry the entire village of people and supplies into it. After landing, it can be a complete hunter stronghold with a little construction.
The preparations before departure were in full swing, and it was already more than an hour before the Yunfei airship officially took off.
During this period, as a qualified cow and horse, Gordon, who was strong, carried most of the supplies on the airship alone.
Seeing Gordon lifting only one thing, the professor who valued efficiency the most decisively asked Old Black to check the airbag and power unit again. This gave the airship platform staff who were originally responsible for the transportation a holiday.
After 200,000 words, the signing of the contract is still a failure, sigh, fortunately, we will not eat by writing books, otherwise we will starve to death early.
Well, although I may keep running naked, I will still continue to write this book and use love to generate electricity?
