Magic Industry Empire - 710. Chapter 710
After rendezvous with Leslie, Xu Yi just rested on the boat with Evita and others, and early the next morning, he boarded the magic airship again and left.
However, they did not fly in the direction of returning to the Duchy of Stantin, but after flying up, they turned directly to the sea to the east.
Looking at the boundless sea to the east, Leslie took a deep breath, thinking that Xu Yi was really ambitious.
While others were still thinking about how the New Flying Chamber of Commerce should secure the good situation in the Lampari Kingdom, the Ruelson Kingdom, and the surrounding countries, he had already set his sights on a behemoth like the Candela Empire.
And now, he even set his sights further away, actually wanting to promote the products of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to the easternmost part of this continent.
It’s just that the endless sea in front of you is endless, and the destination of Xu Yi’s trip is also extremely far away.
Regardless of whether the goal can be achieved after reaching the destination, it is a very worrying issue that can only reach the destination smoothly.
In fact, Xu Yi also felt a little worried.
This is the first time that the magic airship designed by Evita has conducted an ultra-long-distance cruise experiment. It flew from the Duchy of Stantin to the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and met with Leslie, crossing a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers in the middle.
And if you want to reach the destination of this trip-Nozdorme Business United Kingdom, it would be more than two thousand kilometers to judge only roughly from the map.
In other words, if the whole journey is counted, it will only be more than 5,000 kilometers one way.
On the previous continent of Sainz, such a journey of more than 5,000 kilometers was almost impossible to complete.
However, now Xu Yi and the others are riding in the magic airship Hua, but because of the magic airship’s speed of over 100 kilometers per hour and super endurance, such a journey has become possible.
“Evita, how far have you flown?”
Ivyta was observing the sea under the magic airship through the pod mirror, and the faintly visible land in the distance. Hearing Xu Yi’s voice, she turned her head and chuckled: “It has flown more than six hundred kilometers. Chairman, according to estimates, we should be able to fly out of the territory of the Candela Empire today.”
“Oh? That’s pretty fast.” Xu Yi smiled, actually he didn’t agree with this evaluation in his heart.
The speed of an airplane on the earth can reach an astonishing speed close to one thousand kilometers per hour, and a distance of five thousand kilometers can only take half a day to arrive.
The current flying speed of the magic airship can barely exceed one hundred kilometers per hour. If you want to complete a long-distance trip of more than five thousand kilometers, even if you don’t stop halfway, it will take more than fifty hours, more than two days.
Of course, compared to the magic locomotive that can only run on the ground and is restricted by the terrain, the magic airship is much more convenient.
Not to mention that compared with the old-fashioned carriages on the Sainz mainland, the magic airship belongs to another level of transportation.
Compared to speed, Xu Yi actually cares more about confirming the flight direction.
Unlike the planes on Earth, Sainz can use satellite positioning to ensure that they are flying on the correct route, and they will not deviate and fly to another place. They can only rely on the pilot’s own judgment to determine the direction.
Although the team led by Evita already has sufficient experience in cruise experiments, because this is the first ultra-long-distance cruise experiment, it is also a huge challenge for them.
However, they were able to fly more than two thousand kilometers from the Principality of Stantin before and accurately found Xu Yi in the Principality of Norton, which proved that they had considerable ability in this respect, so Xu Yi only cared about it, but did not worry too much.
“President, I plan to turn on the cruise control mode after dark. According to the current season, it should take about eight hours halfway. If nothing else, we should be able to enter Nozdormu early tomorrow morning. The location near the commercial United Kingdom.” Evita explained her plan to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi glanced at the eastern sea that was gradually shrouded in black shadows because the sunset was approaching, and shook his head.
“No, Evita, the time we spent in the dark should be shorter than your estimated eight hours. You must be prepared for this error.”
“Less than eight hours? Will this happen?” Evita frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Xu Yi thought for a while, and decided to explain to Evita a little bit because of the so-called relationship between the sun’s rising eastward and westward setting and the rotation of the planets.
It has been more than eight years since I came to this world. Xu Yi has long discovered that this world is actually very close to the Earth in many places. The most obvious manifestation is that it has almost the same planetary rotation and revolution time.
Even when looking up at the starry sky at night, Xu Yi can still find many familiar constellations in almost the same position on the earth in the night sky.
In this way, Xu Yi often suspects that he is actually still on the earth now, but he has only traveled to another parallel time and space.
Evita seemed to understand the basic astronomy knowledge explained by Xu Yi.
But this did not prevent her from listening carefully and thinking according to what Xu Yi explained.
“Sir President, if it is really like what you said, then if we return to the Duchy of Stantin from the United Kingdom of Nozdorme, wouldn’t the night be longer? Or if we set out during the day, the whole day will be Longer?”
“That’s it.” Xu Yi nodded. “But our flying speed is much slower than the rotation speed of the planet under our feet, so we can only delay the passage of some time, and eventually will be swallowed by the night.”
“So…If this magic airship is fast enough, can’t we live in the sun all the time?” A twinkling light was revealed in Evita’s eyes.
Xu Yi laughed: “Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this, but the planet under our feet rotates very fast on its own, and it is difficult to catch up. Of course, if you really want to live under the sun, there is another one. The simpler way is to go to the far north and south, and you will find a place where the sun will never set for a certain period of the year.”
Evita frowned deeply, thinking hard.
After a while, she even picked up the pen and paper involuntarily, and drew on a piece of paper.
Seeing Evita’s concentration, Xu Yi smiled slightly and left the front cabin.
Telling Evita about these basic astronomical knowledge is not a temporary motive.
Since she began to develop the magic airship, Xu Yi has consciously instilled this knowledge into Evita, with the goal of allowing her to initially form a complete worldview as soon as possible.
The magic airship is an important part of Xu Yi’s future plans. Xu Yi has high expectations for Evita, and naturally hopes that she can avoid detours.
When returning to the mid-cabin of the magic airship, which was also the lounge, Xu Yi found that except for the two researchers who were on duty at night, everyone else had already fallen asleep at this moment.
The ultra-long-range cruise experiment made them very excited at first, but after a long time, it will make everyone feel physically and mentally exhausted. After finally entering the night cruise mode, everyone took advantage of this good opportunity to seize the time to rest.
Xu Yi’s gaze flicked in the middle cabin, and found that a faint light of light blue or light red flashed from time to time in the corner at the very end, reflecting Akali’s round face with a focused look.
“Hey, Akali, I haven’t slept so late, so what are you doing?”
Hearing Xu Yi’s voice, Akali raised her head, her expression lost for a moment, and then she turned into an excited smile.
Just about to speak, but it seemed to be thinking of something, he suppressed his voice and waved to Xu Yi.
“President, come and see.”
“Huh?” Xu Yi leaned over curiously, and found that there was a disc on the table in front of Akali, which was not shimmering with light blue and light red light.
“What is this?” Xu Yi took a closer look and found that this disc and the center console of the remote magic positioning system studied by Akali during this period have a little imagination, but both the appearance and the display mode are very different. Big.
“Sir, do you see the light spots on this?” Akali asked.
“Well, I saw it, what? What do these light spots represent?” Xu Yi asked back.
Akali smiled: “Mr. President, haven’t you been worried about how we should return safely? Tell you, with this thing, we will never get lost when we go back.”
“Oh? What is this? It’s so amazing?”
“These light spots represent the small magic resonance sensors that I dropped along the way. You see, this light spot is the closest to us, which is the one I dropped before. Judging from the situation shown above, it should be at this time. It is about 4,300 meters to the southwest of us. That is to say, since I dropped it, we have flown 4,300 meters to the northeast. You see, this light spot may soon disappear. Because it will soon exceed the sensing range.”
Xu Yi looked at the flashing light spots on the disc, and couldn’t help asking: “Then how do you distinguish them? How do you know which light spot represents which small magic resonance sensor you dropped Woolen cloth?”
“It’s very simple. As long as you make a slight modification to the magic array on the different small magic resonance sensors, you can make the console detect them and distinguish them.”
Seeing the excitement and triumphant expression on Akali’s face, Xu Yi couldn’t help taking a breath.
Unexpectedly, he just explained to Evita about how the magic airship can use basic astronomical and geographical knowledge to fly to unknown areas without getting lost. Akali has already made another major breakthrough in her research field.
Although Akali’s current vision is still very simple, as long as it is carefully arranged, the final combination will be extremely amazing.
In Xu Yi’s view, this magic positioning system led by Akali has even achieved the amazing effect of the initial approach of the navigation system on the earth!
Thinking of this, Xu Yiteng stood up, walked back into the front cabin, and raised her head in surprise to look at him, Evita said with a serious face.
“Change direction and fly to land.”
