Chapter 104: The Stairway to Heaven
On the 25th, the airport.
In the early morning, the sun rises from sea level and spreads light into the city.
When sunstones shine upon the sun, they shine in the cold and quiet city of Posedonia, bringing up construction machinery.
As the gears bite and the sound of the chains twisting, the scorching color of the sunstone will break the silence.
In front of the huge "Sky Ladder", one copper-yellow vehicle after another drove into the airport.
In such a situation, a long-faced man in a guard uniform mixed in with the sound of the car's gear twisting.
Turning his head and looking at the four guards who were concentrating on checking the invitation letter of passing vehicles, he laughed.
After confirming that no one's eyes fell on him, he turned to another corner by the turning vehicle.
Standing in the dark area covered by sunlight, the long-faced man looked at his arm, a shadow-like crow emerged from his palm, and then separated into a black paper sheet and a shadow crow with almost no difference in shape.
After the crow separated, it rushed directly to the head of the long-faced man, as if it was a hazy shadow.
Then, after he took off his guard's father, he stroked his fingers on the black paper.
Almost the moment his fingers stopped, his face and figure had changed.
He turned into a man with short blonde hair, wearing a brown-gray morning dress, with a hint of coldness in his gentleness.
The blonde man, or Yao Yan, glanced at his clothes:
"Have the clothes changed together?"
But he was not surprised. Not to mention clothes, it was not surprising that even the light, air and other external objects around him changed together.
He touched the pocket on the inside of his clothes and found an invitation letter:
"Oh, I actually have an invitation letter, is it because I've seen him just now?"
Fortunately, he prepared another one.
He picked up the guard uniform on the ground, and likewise, he took out an invitation letter from his inner pocket of the guard uniform.
However, after careful comparison, the invitation letter he forged was more refined.
"Ah...this."
Too delicate is also a mistake.
But maybe it can be used.
After thinking about it, Yao Yan stuffed the forged invitation letter into his pocket on the right.
Then, he pulled out his glasses from his pocket, put them on the bridge of his nose, and walked towards the direction of the Heavenly Kingdom Steps.
......
With the suitcase in his left hand and the cane in his right hand, Yao Yan came to the front of the Heavenly Kingdom Steps.
The huge Heavenly Ladder was quietly anchored in the center of the airport.
Originally, compared with humans, the size gap between airships was extremely large, and ordinary airships could ride more than 200 passengers.
The Heavenly Kingdom Ladder Number is four times that of this number.
Corresponding to the carrying capacity of nearly a thousand people is its huge size.
Compared with other airships, the size of the Heavenly Ladder is ten times that of the ordinary airship.
Four times the load capacity corresponds to not as simple as four times the volume.
Looking at such a situation, Yao Yan couldn't help but think of a setting that often appears in various novels and literary works.
People who have gained insect abilities can lift objects with exaggerated multiple weights like insects.
If you have a little bit of material knowledge or engineering material knowledge in construction engineering, you all know that with the limited strength of the material itself, the larger the building structure, the more complex the structure. Simply put, it is because as the material increases and the volume increases, the more pressure each node needs to bear.
The strength of the biological material of insects is limited, so they can support the strength of their size. However, after amplification, they either choose to increase the strength of the material. After the strength of the material itself cannot be increased, they can only use complex structures and strengthen them sideways through structural strength.
but......
He stared at the huge "Sky Ladder". Although he didn't know if the four times the load capacity required ten times the volume, from the various "common sense" that "unreached reality" everywhere in this world, I think the ratio of four to ten is not actually calculated, but is just some vague estimate.
But...what does it matter?
Not to mention this, even if there is a situation in this world where insects are enlarged, the material strength remains unchanged, and the structure remains unchanged, he will still feel it is reasonable.
Here, the world view is the world.
How do you think of the spiritual consciousness that constitutes this world? What is the world like?
"It won't be like this normally"
"It's not usually the case"
The so-called general and normal are not decided by him here.
Yao Yan's gaze was frozen on the stairs of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The huge airship has a strong style that is consistent with this era and different from his understanding.
Between the twisted gears, the sunstone shone brightly.
The sail tail wings of fish fins, facing propellers in all directions up, down, left and right are adjusting the direction downwards, as if they are using ground effects to lift off.
On the edge of the airship, there are also special-looking areas, which have no obstacles in these places, reminding him of weapons such as warship muzzles.
Yao Yan was not sure whether these gun positions on the side of the airship were for defense or attack.
but.....
Yao Yan's gaze turned to a man ahead.
It was a tall man wearing the air captain's iconic hat on his head.
The guards and crew arranged by the air captain were lined up on both sides of the gangway, most of whom were wearing weapons such as scimitar swords, and several steam gunmen in sunstone steam-powered outfits assisted by exoskeleton armor.
Although it is strange to develop a rifle shape similar to his life without gunpowder, and it is also strange to have this shape without gunpowder in the bullet, but there is no doubt that the existence of steam guns means that this world is not a cold weapon fighting.
but......
Yao Yan glanced at the steam gunner or the people who should be called the steam gunner, the heavy steam armor on their bodies.
Unlike his idea, the appearance of these steam gunmen made the invited guests look worried or at ease.
As for what I was worried about and why I was at ease, Yaoyan didn’t ask.
He just followed the previous man who walked on the gangway and took out an invitation letter that was much rougher than the one he had made of, and handed it to the inspector.
"Welcome, Mr. Mante."
The crewman with a smile looked bent down and bowed as before, signaling him to enter the air craft.
"OK."
Yao Yan smiled, stood on the top of the gangway, turned around and looked at the airport behind, and walked into the airship amid the sound of propellers.
Is the so-called big drama about to begin?
So, who is the host?
