"Do you want to join up with other airships performing the same mission and set off?"
"No, I've discussed it with the other captains. The areas assigned to everyone are different, and there are several flight channels that can pass through the mountains, so we won't engage in this kind of formalism. Everyone is responsible for their own affairs, and the people above only need to
Accurate information.”
"The principle of contact with the ground?"
"If we can't make contact, we won't make contact. Even if there are doubts about the advance information on the forum, can we tell whether the other party is a liar face to face? If the besieged place is in a state of chaos, then hasty contact will only put us in crisis. So.
We still focus on observation. Besides, the rescue capacity is limited, what if we can’t save someone right away? We are not qualified to promise anything.”
"Just looking for a place where humans gather?"
"No, including the distribution of the demon or orcs' military camps, troop strength, road conditions, and what they are doing, we have to take advantage of this trip to record it. As for what they want to do and what they can do, that is the responsibility of the headquarters.
It’s time for the old men to think about things. It’s not our turn.”
Everyone's eyes lit up and they said eagerly: "Let's counterattack."
Ezio nodded and said: "This matter is of course the ultimate goal. Therefore, how important our mission as sentinels is, there is no need to repeat it here. We should truthfully report everything we see to those who make decisions.
.We are just soldiers, so just make our soldiers the best they can be. Other things are what those old men should worry about."
In fact, Ezio's argument is different from what most soldiers think. No one wants to be a general, and no one doesn't want to command thousands of troops to fight a happy and victorious battle.
Therefore, pointing out the country is their usual pastime. It seems that if this army is given to him, he can destroy the demon coalition in an instant and reach the gate of the abyss.
Even soldiers who were adventurers were not immune to this. People like Ezio were in the minority, an outlier.
However, when performing a mission, it is not the time to be too ambitious. Therefore, no one can make a mistake when Ezio speaks in a responsible manner. And everyone agrees that it is necessary.
There was no loud cry of war between them. This was because no one had the energy to do such inconspicuous cosmetic tricks during the retreat.
The custom at that time continues to this day. Everyone can understand each other's intentions by looking at each other. Without such a tacit understanding, it would be difficult to survive that cruel battle.
When no one continued to ask questions, they nodded to each other and returned to their respective posts to convey the conversation to others. Ezio also came to the map table.
What is presented on the map table is a converted contour map detected by the Arcane Eye. Compared with the real-life map, this kind of map is more conducive to tactical arrangements.
Ezio did not sit in the captain's seat. He was more accustomed to standing at the tactical table, trying to simulate the real battle situation in his mind and make judgments based on it.
The key to this reconnaissance mission are two young men from elementary schools sitting at the radar table.
It is said that many strange terms in the war room were named by the designer.
If anyone wants to change it, let's change it. Anyway, he just used a noun to let people know what he is talking about. This kind of attitude makes everyone continue to use someone's name and be too lazy to change it.
In addition to monitoring the radar screen, the other two people's other major task is to use programming language to fine-tune the screen parameters of the Arcane Eye.
Because this magic actually collects a lot of environmental information. It is most intuitive to see it with your eyes. After all, all data processing is left to the human brain to judge.
However, there is a limit to the information collected by looking at it with your eyes, and you cannot maximize the full effectiveness of the arcane eye, a magical item. The best way is to use a program to delete, clean, and find the information you want to see.
For example, on this map table, if Ezio wants, he can request that the positions of all living creatures within the map be displayed. This is judged from the biological information of the creatures, and it is not difficult to do. Anyway, there is a difference between living things and dead things.
There are many differences and it is easy to tell the two apart.
If this is applied to the current reconnaissance mission, that is, the airship is flying at high altitude. Wherever there are living people, it can be seen at a glance just by the detection of the arcane eye, without getting close to the ground to the distance that can be observed by the naked eye.
But here comes the question, what is the detected biological reaction? Human? Animal? Orc? Demon?
At this stage, the modified Twin Griffins can only confirm the biological reaction, but cannot determine what this living creature is. Or even ask, who is it?
What the magician could do easily, but if it were done by these children, even if they knew what they wanted to do, they still couldn't come up with a similar result.
Regarding such a result, not to mention the two eldest children who hosted the event, even Ezio was a little disappointed.
He focused on evading the detection methods of a certain magician, and it could be said that he also had some experience with the ability of the Arcane Eye. But how to achieve that level, he had no idea. Ezio could only express condolences to the two companions.
, just let them try their best without feeling guilty or blaming themselves.
When reports came from various departments of the airship that the final inspection had been completed, under Ezio's nod, the captain sent by the Kawi family to assist in maneuvering the airship issued an order: "Turn on the floating function and start the engine."
The originally low roar of the Twin Griffins instantly changed into a sharper long sound. Although the sound was much sharper, the volume became smaller, so no one felt any discomfort.
At the same time, everyone also felt that the airship suddenly floated up for a short distance, just like a normal person jumping. The difference was that the airship did not fall to the ground, but was suspended at this height, shaking slightly.
People who can ride an airship are not idiots with dull facial features and uncoordinated hands and feet. They can all feel the subtle shaking feeling.
At this time, the director of the agency reported from the copper pipe: "Engine No. 1 is online, Engine No. 2 is online, all engines are online."
The Twin Griffin has two sets of engines and four sets of external propellers. The engines and propellers are driven by multiple sets of gears, and the matching sets can be changed at will to allow the propellers to move individually. There will be no damage to any one part.
Overall shutdown situation.
"Recover the landing gear," the captain ordered.
The flight controller flipped the switch. After the indicator light changed color, he reported back: "The landing gear is retracted."
At this time, the captain looked at Ezio. The young man who was being watched just stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky. The captain understood the meaning and issued the order: "This is the captain reporting to the whole ship.
, fixing the body and moving objects, the ship will perform a sharp elevation action. The No. 1 and No. 2 propellers are started, at low speed, and float up to 45 degrees. After reaching an altitude of 300, it will turn to medium speed and climb at 60 degrees."
Except for the lack of response to the initial ship-wide briefing, all departments or operators who issued the order from the captain repeated the order and carried out operations.
At the same time, everyone in the ship hugged the railing tightly, and those who couldn't hold them used fixed ropes to tie themselves in place. If you don't pay attention to such a rapid elevation angle, the whole person will fall into confusion.
Generally speaking, this kind of sudden climb is a tactical move, and usually it is not so intense. But this time it was done like this at the beginning, and it seems that someone has a big intention. Especially... When do you plan to climb? Inside the Twin Griffins
Everyone thinks so.
In the command room, the personnel responsible for monitoring the airship's flight status reported the altitude of the airship's arrival every 100 meters. Later, the changes were so fast that the readings were rushed and each item could not be completed.
, the airship has reached the next altitude stage.
This climbing speed was so fast that everyone in the control room felt numb. Because a few minutes ago, the Twin Griffins had exceeded the minimum height required for this mission and were still climbing to a higher place.
And don’t think that everyone is just worried about the human body’s adaptation problems caused by altitude. The current climate is just that there is less wind and snow than before, not that there is no such thing at all.
The higher the position, the stronger the wind. The impact of this on the rapidly climbing airship is that the entire hull makes a rumble that has never been heard before, and the abnormal left and right shaking is also more intense.
Seriously. It sounds like the airship is about to fall apart.
They will never break up, and everyone has confidence in the Twin Griffins. Because they once faced an attack by a group of human-faced birds, and the airship did nothing and crashed directly into it! And then escaped unscathed.
Knocked out injured.
Think about what happens to ordinary people who charge tanks with their bodies. If the tank's sheet metal can be slightly dented, you can say that the person is made of copper and iron.
But the part that made everyone less confident was the altimeter that was about to reach the sky. In fact, a few minutes ago, Ezio had asked someone to report it every 1,000 meters. Otherwise, he suspected that the poor guy would be so hasty as to put himself in trouble.
The bite is full of wounds.
When the altitude exceeded 10,000 meters, the entire airship suddenly relaxed as if it had broken free from something. The strange noises disappeared, and the airship no longer swayed inexplicably. It was like being shaken by the gentle wind.
On a sunny day, it's like flying smoothly.
At this time, Ezio did not go through the captain, but gave the order himself: "Level rudder, slow speed, self-check of the whole ship. Report the climate data inside the ship."
This is not the first time a situation like this has happened. Moreover, before the transfer of command, the old Grand Duke made it clear that when there is a conflict between Ezio and the captain's orders, the former will take precedence. The captain's role has always been to assist, not
To fight for power.
So the helmsman immediately adjusted the operation according to the instructions and repeated them one by one. The person in charge of monitoring also said: "The temperature inside the ship is 21 degrees. The thermostatic device is operating."
"What about the air pressure?" Ezio asked.
This is a new observational data that has not been used before. But the monitor still reported back: "The air pressure inside the ship is 998 hundred pascals, and the constant pressure device is also operating."
When naming various new data units, Lin used the names he was used to. Anyway, no one is trying to compete with him for the lost land now.
Ezio asked again: "Is there a sudden drop in temperature and pressure anywhere?"
"No. The environmental data inside the ship are consistent and there are no drastic changes."
