Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1385 Landing
"Ah." Standing next to the porthole with Phaethon, Phaethon covered his forehead, "Why did you bring another person here?"

"This guy is a real talent, much more useful than Xiao Han."

"Yes, another pretty girl. You actually like girls like Qi Yuan, girls who are very smart, right? Zhang Baoling is the same type."

[Hey, you know what, it seems like his favorite thing is robots, and the second is girls who can drive robots. ]

"Hey, work. This is work. Don't you think that our relationship is purely work-related?"

"The problem is that the people you find are 100% beautiful girls. How can I trust you?"

"I think even if you don't believe me, you should believe in Zhang Baoling's character."

"I don't even know her. I was downstairs making you ice cream while you were racing. How would I know what the people in the team next to yours look like?"

"Well, you'll see how it works. She won't be on the station for long."

"I hope so. I'm just afraid that you'll go astray and not have a good ending. That would be a big problem."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

As they were talking, Victoria also arrived.

She was the only one who needed to wear equipment in this operation. She wore a full set of phlogiston stealth equipment and carried a large phlogiston tank. Although this equipment could not completely block the flames when crossing the atmosphere, it could allow the user to temporarily avoid external threats.

However, the startup time of this device is limited, and it cannot provide cushioning when falling, so human assistance is required to complete the entire landing process.

This person is of course Shangluo.

"Hey, Shangluo." Victoria rushed over through the glass cover that looked like a fish tank. "I'll depend on you in a while - jumping from a high altitude is really exciting! Just teach me this time, and I'll do it by myself next time."

"No, no, no! You can still call me next time you want to play, but you must, must, must not just jump down by yourself. I may not be able to protect you then."

"Okay. So, how are you going to protect me?"

Shangluo pointed to his back and said, "Come up."

"Okay." Victoria hooked her hands around Shangluo's neck, jumped up, and jumped onto Shangluo's back.

Click, click. Zhu Ling took photos nearby. This was a crucial moment in observing Shangluo's habits. As a qualified researcher, Zhu Ling captured photos of decisive significance at the critical moment. At this moment, Victoria was being carried on Shangluo's back.

[I said, can you stay stable like this? ]

"I don't know either, but we should be fine, right?"

[I would like to remind you that you should land in a big cross shape so that you can accurately control your landing point. If you carry her down, if there are any winds, waves or bumps, the two of you will become a spinning wheel in the sky. ]

"." Shangluo pondered for a while, "Forget it, this is the only way."

"Everyone, are you ready?" Phaethon counted the time with the dial. According to the plan, the best time to descend would be in 10 seconds.

Everyone nodded in confirmation. In order to ensure their own safety and to prevent Victoria from being embarrassed, everyone except Shangluo wore protective gear, and the orbital descent process began.

One person stepped on a stainless steel plate, and several people jumped off the edge of the space station, floating farther and farther in a state of weightlessness. After regrouping with the help of the mirage power, they began to change their trajectory to the downward orbit.

Soon after, Shangluo could clearly feel the presence of perceptible air in front of them - they relied on the mirage to complete the change of trajectory and entered the edge of the atmosphere.

They did not directly use their bodies to resist the impact of the atmosphere, but stood on a steel skateboard. Entering the atmosphere at such a high speed, Shangluo began to feel the front end of the skateboard slightly tilted up, which was the beginning of the slide. As mentioned before, Shangluo found that as long as he held Victoria, or was held by Victoria, it was possible that both parties would enter a high-speed rotation state due to imbalance. At that time, Shangluo might not be in trouble, but Victoria might have to vomit out the southeast wind circle she ate yesterday.

So the method they finally chose was surfing.

With Phaethon leading the team, she was better at this job. She knew everything, and had done more parachuting than Shangluo had done homework. Even skipping at the edge of the atmosphere was not beyond her experience. With just a slight left and right glide, she overcame the aerodynamics of being back online. Then came the sound and the temperature.

The high winds enveloped the sides of the skateboard, and if you were not careful, you would enter an endless propaganda. Although this was not a big deal for a Qigong practitioner, it would definitely be a serious injury to a mortal like Victoria.

Victoria herself knew this, so she stood behind the skateboard and held Shangluo's waist tightly, just like a double skateboard.

"Please loosen up a bit. I'm afraid I'll bump into you." Shangluo had to be alert after entering the air because he could feel that the skateboard under his feet was getting hot like a heat shield.

Soon, as their speed gradually became apparent in the atmosphere, a huge force slowly lifted them up from below - the lift came, and this was water drift at the edge of the atmosphere.

At this moment, everyone on the ground, as long as the angle was right, could see the three big stars falling from the sky.

The people of Yingtian on the ground could directly see these three big stars flying towards them——

Shangluo could sense that an anti-aircraft radar device was shining towards him. If no one corrected it, the next step should be to launch an anti-aircraft missile. However, the radar detectors on the ground quickly got the information and lifted the lock on Shangluo.

"We are lucky." Phaethon looked back and said, "We didn't encounter any obstacles along the way."

"Why do I always have a bad feeling? So, where did you choose to land?"

"In front of my house. Since it is going to land on its own, it must land precisely in front of my house."

As Shangluo expected, the descent was surprisingly peaceful. But as soon as he landed, an unexpected person suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Shangluo? Hey, you're finally back. Where were you the past two days?"

Shangluo was still standing at the door in her uniform. When she turned around, she saw Director Huang from the police station, holding a writing board.

"Director Huang? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"It's about the neighborhood work. You weren't here the past two days, and I've been looking for you - it's New Year's Day, and our neighborhood's dragon lanterns are going to be released this year. When are you free to come over?"

"Everyone's going?"

"Of course. It's a neighborhood event, so everyone has to come. It's okay if you don't come, but next year you won't get any mooncakes from the neighborhood."

"Wait. What exactly is this job?"

"It's simple, a traditional New Year activity. You just need to hold the dragon and run around. It's just a practice now, and the competition will start during the New Year. Are the people next to you your relatives? Let them watch the game, I'll save good seats for them."

"Wait a moment, I'm a little busy right now, I just came back to get something."

"Hmm? When will you be back? You have to come back for the New Year, right? Then I suggest you draw a lot to determine your position on the dragon."

"So what prizes are there for me if I participate?"

"Prizes? Physical prizes are shopping vouchers or something. I don't know if good luck counts as well. It is said that after participating, you will have good luck for a year."
