Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1396 Dark Clouds over the Aegean Sea
Attica Airport is the largest airport in Athens - but it is only a regional airport.

From Ninghe 1 to Ninghe 2, the biggest improvement of this series is that it no longer relies on fixed airport facilities to take off, but can take off and land at any large airport.

Although it is still necessary to transport the torch storage tanks in advance, only an ordinary refueling truck is needed to complete the refueling. It is much more convenient than changing rockets before. Because before that, the rockets needed to be recovered and had to be picked up every time, which was quite cumbersome in actual use.

"By the way," Shangluo turned around and asked, "Has Rome already arranged the storage tanks in advance?"

"We have made arrangements in Constantinople and have already started dispatching troops there, but they should arrive slower than us. But don't worry, I'll take care of the refueling."

"Do you plan to refine torch fuel directly in Rome?"

"This is troublesome. Although Torch Fuel is a fossil energy source that has been spiritualized, it is actually very particular when it is mined. I heard that you have been mining a lot recently? Then you should have contact with the Daqing Oilfield."

"I really don't know how it's produced. Are there any requirements?"

"It has to be rootless oil - that is, it has to be collected using a special oil well. From the moment it is mined, it cannot come into contact with ordinary substances and can only exist in an environment of divine metal."

"Do we have that much God Metal?"

Shangluo remembered that there were mysterious metals such as divine chromium and light silver. However, these metals were very rare and could only be used in small amounts when they were used to build cars. If there were more, there would be nothing left.

"It's a new technology. By using the transformation and plasticization of metals, we have successfully created two types of metals, ceramic steel and plastic steel, based on iron. The former is as indestructible as ceramics, but has the toughness of metal. The latter can be shaped like plastic, but has the structural strength of metal. Because the base is iron, a cheap commodity, we can now mass-produce these divine metals."

"It's really convenient," Shangluo nodded. Although the world has undergone many gratifying changes since he came, this may be the good luck he brought to the world, but it is also inseparable from the efforts of everyone including Shangluo. It is because everyone's wishes have fallen on this bright and smooth road that these technologies themselves can fall down like fruits.

"Then aren't we now in the realm of freedom of manufacturing?" Shangluo asked. With these two kinds of divine metals, manufacturing equipment on the ground would not be much more complicated than that of mirage. The combination of these two materials could create many powerful war machines.

"Almost. In fact, Ninghe No. 2 uses a lot of ceramic steel and plastic steel materials. But this technology has just started, and we don't have the luxury to build an airplane entirely with these metals - but we should be able to do so after the production capacity is increased. However, I heard that the Dragon Palace can directly use mirage to shape metal? Isn't that more powerful?"

"Those mirage metals are only stable in the space environment. They will decompose in the atmosphere in a short time. I do intend to apply mirage to a wider range of places, but these solid physical structures are also necessary."

Mirage Metal reminded Shangluo of a magical metal that was "very hard but tough metal, but it was unstable at atmospheric temperatures and therefore could not be used in human living environments". It could be widely mined from galaxies of different security levels.

This mirage metal is the cornerstone of space structures. It is unstable in the atmosphere, but in space it can exert almost perfect material properties, being both strong and tough, and truly "colorful black". It is also the basic structure for building giant structures in space.

At present, the space station above Shangluo's head has been completely covered by various forms of mirage metal, and its original shape is almost unrecognizable. Only the round outline retains its original appearance.

"By the way." Shangluo asked, "Have you considered launching Ninghe 3 into the sky? The White Star can already go directly into the sky."

"Is it considered a leak if you let me know about this?" "Well, it's just a trade secret at best. But if you can't go to the sky, you'll be one step behind."

"In fact, after Ninghe abandoned its rocket booster, it was almost the same as White Star. Especially since we are still using the same fuel, maybe the two projects will be merged in the future - that's great, it would be best to merge Lan Fang Airlines into Kinai."

"Your efficiency is not good?"

"The benefits are good. But you know, if everyone around you is a Qigong practitioner, then the assessment standards will also be the standards of Qigong practitioners. How should I put it? Although it is not difficult, it still requires some effort."

When he thought that there might be Qigong practitioners everywhere around him, not just in the workplace, and even the chicken rice sellers might have special skills, he felt a strong sense of crisis. After all, considering the life span of Qigong practitioners, he was far from earning enough money to spend the rest of his life in peace. However, today's observation of Shangluo flying a plane benefited him a lot.

After all, it's not always possible for a god to be around at other times.

"By the way," Captain Lin asked, "Shangluo, can I ask how you ascended? After all, the first time I saw you, you were in my back seat and your brain was shaking."

[Beautiful girls soaking in wine is not a treat you can get at any time. This is much more nutritious than soaking in snake wine. ]

"Well, it takes chance, chance. But when the chance comes, it will come quickly."

But strictly speaking, Shangluo's incident actually absorbed the power of Phaethon, who was already at the "celestial" level, and it was obviously not replicable. If we want to mass-produce more celestials in the future, we may have to prepare some real foundation-building pills or other materials.

The flight, piloted by Apollonia, was smooth and efficient. After all, the thin atmosphere of near-space did not have strong air disturbances, so as long as the flight altitude and speed were kept stable, they could keep moving forward.

"Your technique is pretty good."

[What kind of technology is this? The plane is well adjusted and basically stable. I just hold the steering stick. It's a very ordinary flight. Athens is almost here. Prepare to land. I'm going to descend. Hmm?]

"what happened?"

[The radio detector shows that there are clouds ahead. Damn it. This place is almost in space, how can there be clouds floating here? ]

"I really want to go and see..."

[I told you not to act recklessly... If you don't listen to her, the consequences will be serious...]
