Master of Thermodynamics

On the second Sunday of the Red Moon, the construction site where "Red Helmet" Kane worked, ushered in a grand day.

At the same time, this is also the last day he stayed here. After today, he will return to the Thousand Lakes Republic. Even if he returns to the Star Blue Continent in the future, he may not have the opportunity to approach this heavily guarded base.

How strict is it here?

As far as he knows, no unrelated people are allowed to approach within 20 kilometers!

This alone made him realize that the purpose of this project must be beyond imagination.

Standing in front of the temporary dormitory, Kane turned his head to look at the dark faces, a complex color flashing in his eyes.

These aboriginal workers are all construction workers under him. During this half month of work, although some aboriginals always call him a "white guy" in private, they all obey the command and do whatever they want. Very hard work, many people did not complain even after heatstroke several times, and the cooperation between the two parties was fairly pleasant.

Kane took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Hi, guys, today is the day when the project we are involved in is officially completed...Uh, although so far, I don't know what the name of this place is and what it is used for..."

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd.

Kane raised his hand, motioned the workers to be quiet, and said:

"I just received a notice from the project headquarters. In order to thank everyone for their contributions to the project, the headquarters will organize all construction personnel to observe a special demonstration up close... I heard that this is the first demonstration of this project, absolutely It will open our eyes!"

This sentence made the indigenous people show a curious look.

Kane didn't say much, just pointed to the right and shouted:

"Everyone, please check your dress immediately and line up in order to go to the'high tower'!"

The so-called "tall" is a huge building built with 40,000 tons of high-strength steel. Its height reaches an astonishing 55 meters. Workers don't know its name, so it was named a "tall". .

Hundreds of workers quickly sorted their work clothes, arranged them in three rows, and walked to the towering tower under the leadership of Kane.

When the team arrived, in a square paved with bluestone slabs in front of the tower, there was already a black and heavy crowd, the total number of which was no less than 3,000.

However, the square seemed quite quiet, and there were not many people whispering to each other.

Because at the front of the square, there stood a row of soldiers with live ammunition, like a stone sculpture, standing motionless.

This is obviously the army guarding the tower.

In everyone's eyes, the tower is a rather strange building.

It is constructed entirely of high-strength alloys, and its shape is a weird triangular pyramid frame structure, 50% of the surface is covered with bright metal plates, and the rest is not blocked at all, and the inside can be seen.

At this time, "Red Helmet" Kane clearly saw that a huge silver-white metal cylinder appeared in the empty shaft inside the tower.

The giant cylinder has a diameter of at least 8 meters and occupies about half the height of the shaft. The top is a sharp cone, pointing straight to the sky, and there seem to be 4 tail wings at the tail, each arranged at 90 degrees.

Another "Red Helmet" named "Brad" greeted Kane and asked:

"Hey, buddy, do you know, when did that thing appear in the tower? I remember when we finished work yesterday, there was nothing in the shaft."

Kane shook his head blankly:

"I don't know, I guess it was delivered in the middle of the night, and it was assembled by the magicians themselves... You also know that military control has been implemented here when the project is halfway through. After dark, no one is forbidden Walk around at will."

"Well, I think you are right."

Brad shrugged and said nothing.

Not long after, the magic radio station erected on the tower suddenly made a huge noise:

"Please note that the launch procedure is about to begin, and relevant personnel are requested to immediately carry out the inspection procedures to ensure that the'Aerospace Shuttle' is in good condition."

Kane moved in his heart and realized that the strange column in the shaft was the "sky-sky shuttle" mentioned in the broadcast.

Then he saw a large group of rune magicians in black uniforms pouring out of a building connected to the tower by a suspension bridge.

They quickly crossed the suspension bridge, climbed up and down the tower stairs, and checked the various parts of the sky shuttle.

The inspection was not slow, and after only 10 minutes, the sound of the broadcast spread all over the square:

"The inspection is complete, there will be a 5 minute countdown to launch, please get the astronauts in place..."

The large group of magicians began to evacuate.

There were loud exclamations among the crowds in the square, and many people still pointed at the sky.

I saw two white figures, quickly passing through the air, falling into the tower shaft, and finally drilling into the top cone of the Sky Shuttle.

As the countdown to launch got closer and closer, the atmosphere in the square gradually became warmer, and everyone looked forward to it.

"10..."

"9……"

"8……"

The square gradually quieted down.

"3..."

"2……"

"1……"

"emission!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The whistling sound of the air current resembling an explosion instantly tore through the void, and the terrifying sound made the crowd of onlookers cover their ears, making their faces pale in fright.

Immediately afterwards, the air flow rushed out from the bottom of the tower and turned into a violent wind, setting off large patches of sand and dust, causing the workers to stagger and cough.

"Whirring whirring……"

A super-powered engine with 200 tons of thrust is driving an aerospace shuttle that is more than 20 meters high, leaping to the sky quickly, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

This amazing scene made the workers couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh, my God, it doesn't even have wings, so it can fly..."

"My God, it's so fast..."

To this group of alien turtles, this scene is like a powerful god, returning to his kingdom.

The workers raised their heads in unison, staring closely at the sky-sky shuttle, which was getting smaller at an extremely fast speed, until it turned into an insignificant dot.

...

In an extremely spacious underground hall of the tower annex, a large crystal screen is hanging on the wall, and the hall is full of rune magicians.

In the communication station on the side, the voices of two astronauts kept coming.

"I can't believe what jet engine is used in this aerial shuttle? I can sense that something strange seems to be happening outside the aerial shuttle..."

"Yeah, this is really surprising. According to the display on the instrument, the speed of the aerospace shuttle has exceeded 2,200 meters per second, but I was sitting in the driver's seat and hardly felt much turbulence..."

"I have driven the silver kite for more than 2,000 hours, and I feel that the stability of the sky shuttle is far better than that of the silver kite..."

The director of the Rune Research Institute, Seth, smiled and interjected:

"Your Excellency Massimo, Your Excellency Moratti, this is exactly the characteristic of the'subspace transition jet engine'... it can turn the surrounding area into a peculiar'subspace transition field'. All air molecules will enter the interior of the engine in a leap, and then spray out from the nozzle at the tail."

"In other words, when the aerospace shuttle is flying, the air resistance is reduced to a minimum, which not only greatly increases the flight speed, but also greatly extends the life of the aircraft... No air resistance also means that there is no high-altitude turbulence, and the comfort will naturally be improved. higher……"

The astronaut named "Massimo" couldn't help but ask:

"Oh, this kind of engine sounds really great... Your Excellency Seth, I want to know, when can Yin Kite be equipped with them?"

Seth smiled and replied:

"Man, the'jump jet engine' is too expensive. I remember that its cost price is close to 360,000 Kinnars. The Silver Kite can't afford such an expensive engine... It is also extremely expensive to use, and the matching magic stone There is 30% magic crystal powder in the stick ingredient."

"Compared with the'Typhoon-3' jet engine used by Yinyuan, the rune group size of the'jump jet engine' is 5 or 6 times larger, the engine structure is several times more complex, and the volume is very large."

"Soon we will find a way to reduce the engine power and streamline the structure. An engine will weigh more than 30 tons, which is not suitable for silver kite use... We need enough time to gradually optimize and improve it. I am afraid that it will take at least 5 years before it can be used. It may be reduced to the level of'Typhoon-3'."

Astronaut Massimo lamented:

"Oh, this is really unfortunate news!"

Just as a few people were chatting, a magician who closely followed the flight altitude suddenly shouted:

"At present, the altitude of the'Goddess of Dawn' has reached 40 kilometers, and the air density will soon be below the critical point. The thrust provided by the jump jet engine will be lower than gravity. It is ready to separate the engine compartment and switch to a'secondary engine'!"

The name "Goddess of Dawn" is the name of the Sky-Sky Shuttle.

"Roger that!"

The two astronauts responded immediately.

In the high altitude, the fast-flying aerospace shuttle suddenly shook. The aircraft was divided into two sections, a section of about 11 meters in length, which is the "engine compartment" described by the magician, and fell straight down.

At the same time, a light spot in the center of the display light screen splits into two instantly.

Seth raised the communicator and said loudly:

"Major Samuel, I am the command center, the recovery team you are in charge of, please follow the signal of the engine compartment immediately and be ready for recovery at any time!"

...

In a silver goose transport plane flying at full speed at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the "Major Samuel" spoken by Seth replied loudly:

"Roger that!"

Then he turned his head to look at the cabin, and his gaze swept across the 5 officers who were ready to go, all of them were supernatural beings with powerful wind elements.

Major Samuel shouted again:

"Everyone, please check the equipment one last time... ready to recycle the engine compartment!"

A group of extraordinary winds moved immediately.
