Chapter 433: Clouds
On the command chair, Li Meng looked at the extreme temperature layer getting closer and closer above his head, and said: "Li Yutao, let's go above the clouds.
Li Yutao: "Yes."
Turning on the radio, Li Meng said: "Everyone, we are about to enter the extreme temperature layer, we are about to reach above the clouds, we are about to see the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds, and we are about to open the porthole armor. Enjoy this scene."
When Li Meng finished speaking, outside, the airship had already reached the extreme temperature layer.
As it was rising in altitude, the airship flying forward slowly poured into the extreme temperature layer, causing a disturbance in the extreme temperature layer, and finally disappeared into the extreme temperature layer.
As the airship disappeared, the clouds only disturbed a few times and returned to their original state after a while.
In the extreme temperature layer, as Li Meng's words fell, on the fourth deck of the living area, the outer porthole armor slowly unfolded, revealing the glass inside.
Behind the glass was a corridor. Many mercenaries who heard the news came to the corridor and looked at the white world outside.
I don’t know how long it took, a few minutes, maybe ten minutes.
Above the clouds, above the endless sea of clouds, in a certain sea of clouds, the clouds were suddenly disturbed. In an instant, a huge airship slowly emerged and flew away from the extreme temperature layer.
"What a nice view……"
As soon as they left the extreme temperature layer, what greeted the mercenaries was an unforgettable and shocking sight.
The endless sea of clouds is like mountains, with ups and downs and different shapes. Some of them are moving, while others are still. It is so beautiful and shocking.
On the mountain-like sea of clouds, the airship flew slowly, and the sea of clouds below was almost within reach.
"The sun, that's the real sun."
Just in the west, the sun was about to set, and the mercenaries saw the real sun for the first time.
Amid the bursts of exclamations, looking at the red sun in the distance and the endless sea of clouds, everyone was silent at the scene in front of them, unable to bear to break the shock in their hearts at this moment.
"So beautiful……"
In the bridge, at this moment, everyone was quietly looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.
They had a better view from where they were, and the scene they saw was even more shocking.
After a while, Li Yutao came back to his senses and said loudly: "Turn on the self-cruise mode, maintain the current altitude, and increase the power of the thrust engine to 60%."
"Yes, turn on the self-cruising mode, maintain the current altitude, and the power is 55%."
"Thrust engine power increased, current power is 60%."
Outside, above the clouds, the airship stopped rising and became faster, flying close to the clouds and shuttled through the undulating sea of clouds.
Although the airship is large, it is still a small speck in the endless sea of clouds.
Time passed little by little, and soon, the sun set and darkness fell.
Although the speed of an airship cannot be compared with that of an airplane, it is much faster than a land vehicle. Black Flag City is about 400 kilometers away from Wuhan City, while it is only over 600 kilometers away from Shangyang City.
Shortly after nightfall, less than two hours later, in the darkness and under the moonlight, a huge empty boat floated silently above the clouds.
"Captain, we are here. According to the navigation display, we are in the sky near the destination. This range will not exceed one kilometer."
When the piloted airship stopped on the clouds, Li Yutao reported to Li Meng.
Reached?
Although darkness has fallen, the sky outside the book window is not pitch black, but a silver space, but the color is darker. Under the moonlight, everything is visible.
Stretching out his right hand, Li Meng opened the management channel and said: "Zhang Qingshan, be ready to go. Bring a team of people down with me. It doesn't take much, just a Vulture armed transport plane. Wait for me at Harbor No. 1 , Zhao Hongwen, enter the bridge immediately and take my place."
As Li Meng's voice fell, Zhang Qingshan's voice sounded from the loudspeaker.
"Captain, just leave any tasks to me. You can stay in the airship."
With a faint smile, Li Meng said: "I have to let you experience the feeling of sitting in my position. Maybe you will all have an airship of your own in the future. Besides, I am not someone who can sit idle. Just carry out the order."
At Li Meng's words, everyone in the bridge smiled.
Although it was just a simple sentence, everyone could hear the captain's ambition.
"yes!"
Li Meng stood up and walked out of the bridge.
On the left side of the cabin door, Chen Beier and Wei Qiunan also stood up.
Seeing them standing up, their meaning was clear, and Li Meng did not stop them.
Both of them are heavy cavalry pilots, and they are defenseless whether they go or not. Since they have joined the GYB-0 security company, Li Meng will not treat them as women in this airship.
After returning to the room and putting on protective clothing, the three of them met outside the elevator door.
Li Meng entered the elevator with the two women.
In the elevator, Chen Beier asked: "Captain, what are we going to do now?"
Wei Qiunan on the side said: "It should be to investigate Shangyang City."
Chen Beier asked again: "Is it appropriate to go at night? It should be very cold down there now. Can the Vulture armed transport plane fly in an extreme temperature environment of more than 100 degrees below zero?"
Once darkness falls, the temperature will drop rapidly. This is common sense, and Wei Qiunan does not believe that the captain does not know this.
Li Meng replied: "The Vulture Armed Transport was originally designed to fly below the extreme temperature layer, but after upgrading, the propellers were strengthened, and the power system was upgraded, it can fly in the extreme temperature layer. Flying below the extreme temperature layer will naturally not be a problem."
It was just a very simple enhancement, which was very simple for the existing technology of Black Flag City.
The reason why flying in the extreme temperature layer was not considered at the beginning of the design was that the Vulture Armed Transport was originally a small platform, a transitional transport aircraft, and there was no need to fly in the extreme temperature layer.
At present, the Vulture Armed Transport has become a civilian flying vehicle with multiple versions, and naturally it needs certain upgrades to adapt to more severe environments.
"Click..."
As soon as Li Meng finished speaking, the elevator stopped descending, and the elevator door opened with the sound of mechanical operation.
With the two women, Li Meng left the elevator and entered the hangar outside.
This is the third floor, and Port No. 1 is not far to the right outside the elevator.
In the hangar of Port No. 1, Zhang Qingshan is ready.
Leading two squads and four heavy cavalry guards, Zhang Qingshan stood in front of the team and was giving a lecture.
Seeing the captain coming over, he stopped giving a lecture and turned to look at the three people who had already approached the team.
"Captain, we are ready. Do you want to say something?"
Standing in front of the team, looking at the fully armed mercenaries lined up in front of the Vulture armed transport plane, Li Meng said: "Let's go!"
At this time, the mercenaries all wore white combat uniforms, all equipped with T17 rifles.
With Li Meng's order, the mercenaries turned around and started to board the plane.
Behind the team, a Vulture armed transport had opened the tail hatch.
