…
The twenty examiners showed off their magical powers and jumped onto the star raft suspended high in the sky.
This long whale-shaped Xingcha is called Kunpeng Xingcha, and it is a customized version from Kunpeng City.
It is more than a hundred meters long and is only a human-sized star.
Two huge wings stretched out from both sides, like clouds filling the sky.
It looks like a wing, but it is actually a sail.
The brilliance of rune arrays flashed across the wings, and suddenly there were pieces of armor that resembled fish scales, covering the entire wings.
The armor plates tremble with the wind one after another, as if they are really the feathers of a pair of giant roc birds. While absorbing the power of the Sunda wind, they can also continue to protect Xingcha's growth rate.
After the star flew high into the sky, a ray of golden light pierced the sky hundreds of millions of feet from the horizon, and the earth kept getting smaller under the feet. It was really beautiful.
A translucent shield enveloped the deck.
Kunpeng swung his long tail and flew out bathed in the glow.
The speed became faster and faster, and then there was a loud explosion in the ears, breaking the sound barrier.
Li Sui'an felt that he had some mild tinnitus symptoms.
It only takes a slight sway of the body's energy and blood to offset this obstacle.
Xingcha's wings broke through the thick atmosphere of heaven and earth, and a large amount of white mist rose up from the tail of the long whale, forming a huge sonic boom cloud.
Then the tail fin flashed, and Li Sui'an saw the brilliance of the formation runes. He recognized one of the key basic runes, which was used for silencing and was often used in basic sound isolation formations.
Then we saw the sonic boom cloud on the tail fin immediately diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How could most of the obstacles of the sonic boom cloud be offset by just one silencing formation?!"
"What's the principle?"
Li Sui'an was amazed and couldn't help but become more interested in the study of Taoism.
Humans on earth have science, and humans in the mountains and seas have metaphysics.
In essence, it is an exploration of the rules of heaven and earth.
I just don’t know how much common ground there is in the principles contained therein?
However, basic physics knowledge should still be common here.
Li Sui'an walked to the edge of the deck, looked down at the earth, looked out mentally, quickly compared the distance on the earth and the speed of time, and calculated the speed of Kunpeng Xingcha at this time, 300m/s, 600m/s, 900m/s.
He doesn't know what the Mach number is in this world. After all, he hasn't accurately measured it.
The flight resistance at this time was already very strong, and it was obvious that the armor plates on both wings were vibrating violently.
Calculated based on the speed at which the sound barrier appeared just now, 300m/s is probably the Mach speed at this height and atmospheric pressure at this time.
Use this as the standard.
Then the speed at this time has exceeded the maximum flight speed of the J-20.
That is Mach 2.5, and can fly as fast as 850 meters per second, which is equivalent to flying 3060 kilometers per hour (on Earth).
Li Sui'an once tested his running speed, running purely on the ground using the "Shunstep with the Wind" movement technique.
The fastest can approach 50 meters/second, which is equivalent to a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
The pressure at that time was already extremely huge. I was almost running against a Category 15 typhoon, and the pressure on my body was also extremely strong. You must know that the maximum wind speed near the center of a super typhoon is about 50m/s.
Once Xingcha reaches this speed, it is already flying at supersonic speed.
Next, even if the flight speed is only increased by one meter per second, extremely large power output will be required.
He immediately looked at the wings.
as expected.
Rays of blue light shined on the wings.
That is obviously exerting greater power.
Mach 3, Mach 4, finally stabilized.
Speeds between Mach 1 and Mach 5 are called supersonic speeds; speeds above Mach 5 are called hypersonic speeds.
Xingcha was finally able to fly at supersonic speeds.
Li Sui'an stretched out a finger, dipped it in some saliva and held it up in the air. He could clearly feel the temperature rising.
Walk to the edge and reach out curiously to touch the shield.
"Boo~"
A halo of light spreads out from the point where the finger touches.
He didn't expect such a violent sound to reverberate.
Everyone who was meditating peacefully on the deck all turned their attention to him.
Li Sui'an was startled because he didn't notice anyone approaching just now.
Turning around, he happened to meet the eyes of the blood-eyed crow on Chen Gong's shoulder.
The crow tilted its head in a humane manner and looked Li Sui'an up and down.
His heart suddenly trembled, and he bowed and said, "Sir, I just want to test the temperature change when Xingcha breaks through the extreme speed of sound."
Chen Gong's voice could not tell the difference between like and dislike: "Then have you ever measured it?"
Li Sui'an was silent for a moment, and then said: "... I gained a little bit."
"Oh, tell me. It's still a long way to go, so I don't mind listening."
Li Sui'an had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "When Xingcha's speed exceeded the speed of sound just now, a sound barrier appeared. When it approached two and a half times the speed of sound, the temperature here increased significantly. The Xunfeng sail reacted violently, and the energy output of the rune array also increased.
It continues to increase. After that, every time the speed breaks through a level, the temperature continues to rise. Even if it is protected by a shield, you can still clearly feel it..."
"Did you just say speed of sound? Sound barrier?"
Chen Gong suddenly interrupted him and asked a question.
Li Sui'an glanced at the men and women on the deck, and even the lantern bearers and night watchmen who were guarding him all turned their attention to him.
I had no choice but to explain the speed of the sound a little more.
"The essence of sound is just a kind of ripple (mechanical wave) that propagates in the medium. The propagation speed in water, air, and earth is different. Different media, temperatures, and pressure conditions all have an impact on the propagation speed. Usually, the propagation speed is different.
The performance is: fastest in solids, second in liquids, and slowest in gases."
"There are many ways to test the propagation speed of sound. The speed of Xingcha exceeds the speed of sound transmission, and the sound cannot catch up, so a sound barrier will naturally occur."
"I have not come into contact with Xingcha production, but I guess there should be a fixed standard. I set the speed of sound transmission in the atmosphere as the basic speed of sound."
(PS: The density of the atmosphere in the world of mountains and seas must be different from that of the earth. To talk about Mach without talking about altitude is to be a hooligan. Mach is a unit of speed, and 1 Mach is not always equal to 340 meters/second.)
Chen Gong was very surprised and said thoughtfully: "Since the speed of voice cannot catch up, why can you still talk to me?"
"Sir, this is a relative situation. The specific principles... still need to be studied." He didn't want to explain the theory of relativity.
"Go on. What does this have to do with you testing the temperature of the shield?"
"Yes, sir."
"Sound propagates at different speeds under different media, temperatures and pressures. The greater the density of the medium and the higher the temperature, the faster the propagation speed of sound. The flight obstacles of Xingcha also include sound, air,
and frictional heat.”
"The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature and the thinner the density of the atmosphere."
"I think if Xingcha can fly to a higher area, the speed may be faster."
Hearing this, Chen Gong took a serious look at him and said, "Did you know that if you go up higher, you will encounter the Nine Heavenly Gang Wind? The wind spirit in the Nine Heavenly Gang Wind, the wind monster will not be polite to you."
Walter?
Li Sui'an raised his head and saw a clear sky with only a few white clouds. Where did the Nine Heavens Wind come from?
This obviously violated his knowledge blind spot.
At the same time, he also realized that much of his knowledge on earth cannot be copied blindly.
Maybe he is very knowledgeable in some aspects, but in terms of seeking truth from facts and studying the actual situation, I am afraid that even Hu Boxi is not as good as him.
Just when he didn't know how to answer, Chen Gong said again: "But there should be no danger at a height of ten thousand feet. You can try it."
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him.
Immediately, someone shouted into the cockpit of Xingcha: "Raise the height, tens of thousands of feet!"
"yes."
Aangangang~
Kunpeng Xingcha suddenly made a strange sound, really like the neighing of a long whale.
The huge halberd on Xingcha's head pierced the sky, and he suddenly raised his head.
Everyone on the deck suddenly tilted their bodies and almost lost their balance. Then they were able to regain their footing with a heavy weight drop.
Li Sui'an, however, carefully grasped the masts and reins on both sides.
Chen Gong put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, motionless.
Ten thousand feet means thirty-three thousand meters in the air.
According to Earth standards, this should be the troposphere.
Clouds, rain, snow, hail, etc. all occur in this layer.
Even in this world, it is a rare experience to be able to reach this height now. Li Sui'an immediately concentrated on observing.
At the same time, he looked towards the distant sky, wanting to see the edge of the planet.
It's a pity that I looked lonely.
Even though they were thousands of feet high in the sky, they were still flying among the mountains. They couldn't even see the higher mountain tops, so how could they see the edge of the planet.
This world is much bigger than imagined.
But it can still be roughly judged that the Shanhai Realm is not some strange continent floating in the universe, but also an extremely large elliptical sphere.
Therefore, it is impossible to dream of seeing the edge of the planet from a height of 10,000 feet.
However, at this height, the upper half of Optimus Prime, the tallest iceberg due north in the Tianpeng Mountains, finally emerged from the year-round clouds and mist.
It turns out that when I was basking in the sun, I could only see the place shrouded in clouds and mist from a distance, and it was only at the foot of the mountain.
The upper half of Optimus Prime's peak is covered with glaciers, bathed in golden sunlight, forming a golden color, just like a holy mountain!
It is so huge that I don't know how many miles it is.
Li Sui'an even suspected that the peak of the mountain range would reach straight into the universe.
"One day, I must climb that mountain."
Li Sui'an thought.
The height of 10,000 feet is not enough to see compared to large mountain peaks, but compared to ordinary peaks on the earth, it is more than enough.
Looking down from a high altitude, those peaks look like low slopes.
Many people saw that the ground was pale, their throats were surging, they were a little panicked, and their legs even trembled. They unconsciously walked towards the center of the deck, away from the edge of the starboard, for fear of falling.
In ancient times, the sky was a forbidden place for gods.
Today's humans have repeatedly broken through the height limit, but due to the limitations of knowledge dissemination, it is still only visible to a very small number of people.
"Acrophobia!"
Li Sui'an shook his head and suppressed a smile, "Fortunately I didn't."
He grabbed the railing and looked into the distance.
The viewing effect here is amazing.
Looking around, there are no peaks nearby, but there are more than a dozen.
But at this altitude, the air pressure has further reduced, and the speed of the star has indeed increased further, about 1400m/s.
"Keep rising!"
Chen Gong was shocked and continued.
"yes!"
shouted from the cockpit behind him.
Li Sui'an was silent.
This mysterious Tenbu Senhuji-sama may look calm on the outside, but he is even crazier on the inside.
Xingcha rose again, reaching 13,000 feet, 15,000 feet, 20,000 feet, and still rising, until it reached an altitude of 25,000 feet.
"Buzz~"
Xingcha's speed suddenly soared.
He took a deep breath and his heart beat a few times, which relieved the uncomfortable feeling of lack of oxygen.
Is it in the stratosphere?
Why are there so many mountains next to me?
On Earth, we would have entered the stratosphere long ago, but in the world of mountains and seas, we are still far away from the stratosphere.
The hundred-meter-long Xingcha flies between the towering mountains like the Optimus Pillars, like an insignificant sparrow.
The sight of the distant sky began to become blurry, as if the entire world was shrouded in a black-yellow light barrier.
However, it had only been a short flight.
In the originally empty sky, the strong wind suddenly became violent, and a layer of fiery red gas appeared on the protective cover.
Electricity began to flash on Xingcha's wings.
"Sir, we have reached our limit and cannot go up any higher."
One of the subordinates said.
Chen Gong still had some unfinished thoughts, nodded, and was about to give instructions to descend when something unexpected happened ahead.
I saw a translucent monster suddenly jumping out of the sky.
In terms of size, it is hundreds of meters long, several times larger than Kunpeng Xingcha.
"Oops, it's the Nine Heavenly Gangfeng Eight-clawed Wind Monster!"
"decline!"
Baihu gave the order directly without Chen Gong's instructions.
Everyone was a little panicked. They didn't care about looking cool and looked for a place to catch him.
Someone who didn't hold on securely fell directly onto the shield, bounced back, and clung to the deck in embarrassment.
The eight-clawed wind monster with strong winds was chasing after him, rushing straight down.
Kunpeng Xingcha quickly dodged in the air, narrowly avoiding tentacle attacks several times.
Chen Gong just looked at the eight-clawed wind monster with no intention of taking action.
Xingcha fled in embarrassment and fell ten thousand feet below. The monster roared unwillingly again.
Endless storm-like wind blades erupted from its mouth, hitting the protective shield, stirring up layers of energy debris and scattering like snowflakes.
Xingcha continued to descend until it was 5,000 feet high in the sky, weaving back and forth among the mountains. When it saw that it could not catch its prey, it reluctantly stopped chasing, swung its tentacles again, and flew up to the nine heavens.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the right moment.
Chen Gong seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and asked Li Sui'an: "Have you ever learned the Tao of Formation?"
Li Sui'an said: "This subordinate is new to the formation, but he has no good teacher, so he can only figure it out on his own."
"Well~ after the assessment is completed, there will be a Tianji Department that specializes in studying formations. You can consider it."
"Thank you for your advice, sir."
"Um."
Chen Gong just said one more thing and entered the cabin with his hands behind his back.
The rest of the people looked at Li Sui'an, and there seemed to be something in their eyes, but no one came up to talk.
Even if it is communication, it is not too late to wait for the assessment to be finalized.
Three hours later.
Xingcha flies smoothly among the mountains.
The calm-looking Master Qianhu no longer took risks, and did not encounter any dangers along the way. Even if there were birds of prey that jumped out occasionally, they were as papery and unbearable in front of people like Qianhu who were in the Yugang realm.
one strike.
Chen Gong didn't even show any attacks from the divine soul technique, but the speed and strength of his movements made everyone on the deck shine with envy.
Finally arrived at the destination.
Yinfeng Cave.
It is one of the seventy-two secret places in the North.
Located south of Optimus Prime Peak in the Tianpeng Mountains, it is exposed to the cold and dark air of the North Sea. It has a perennial cold wind and is rarely uninhabited.
The full name of the Northern Icefield Road is the North Sea Icefield Road, which is connected to the Sea of the North Sea.
The legend of Yinfeng Cave is the place where the Supreme Beiming banished the sinful spirits of Beiming.
Li Sui'an had read the Taoist scriptures, and there were many legends about the ancient Beiming Supreme Being.
When we arrived at our destination, it was still heavily guarded.
The Yinfeng Tunnel doesn't look big from the outside. It's about a hundred feet wide and consists of countless small wind holes.
The surrounding area is rugged with rocks and forests of ancient trees, but there are many damaged ancient buildings outside the cave.
From time to time, you can see some large and dilapidated temple complexes, even Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, etc., all showing that people once lived here.
Stars set in the square.
Someone immediately came to greet them and took everyone to the stone platform outside Yinfeng Cave.
Everyone stood in the arena and listened attentively to Chen Gong's words: "Among warriors, those who possess the qualifications of a divine soul warrior can only be chosen one in a thousand."
"But among divine soul warriors, there are also three, six or nine levels of qualifications. Among them, the first to third grades are superior qualifications; the fourth to sixth grades are medium qualifications; and the seventh to ninth grades are inferior qualifications, depending on
Divine Soul Spirit Seed.”
"Legend has it that there are top-level divine soul species above the first level. But this legendary top-level qualification has not appeared for a long time since the arrival of the Black Tide."
"There is a soul-testing stone here. People who can test the aptitude of the soul can just put their hands on the stone to test the aptitude of the soul."
"Before entering the Yinfeng Cave, please test your qualifications first."
After Chen Gong finished speaking, he stroked the black crow and said nothing.
Immediately, a general came forward and directed everyone to test their qualifications one by one.
The test stone had been touched countless times, and its surface was all smooth and starched. However, it was still completely black, as if it was connected to the entire mountain.
The general casually nodded to someone, "You come first."
The first person to be called, named Hu Chao, asked seriously: "General, how do you test this qualification? Is it just pressing your hands on it? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Press it with both hands, and if you have divine soul qualifications, the soul measuring stone will glow. The different brightness of the light represents different qualifications."
Hu Chao pressed his hands up as instructed, and his face immediately showed a look of confusion.
Everyone immediately opened their eyes and watched carefully.
I saw that the originally dark stone was actually emitting a dazzling purple light, and the light became stronger and stronger.
Everyone immediately discovered the secret.
The brightness under the stone has grid-like divisions.
After a moment, Hu Chao was heard screaming suddenly, breaking away from his dazed state, and two bars of light lit up on the stone.
"This...are my qualifications good or bad?"
Hu Chao looked at the test results with a blank expression.
