Chapter 437 Steam Aircraft

A hundred mountains, Flying Village.

Under Yu Guo's command, Yinglong transformed into various animal forms and quickly traversed mountains, streams, and majestic peaks, finally noticing a unique mountain surrounded by water on all sides.

Unlike five years ago, when it was connected to the outside world by only a hook rope.

Today, Feitianzhai has several iron chain bridges, and through pulleys, hooks, windmills, waterwheels, and tireless modified bronze beasts, a semi-automated transmission chain has been formed.

The grain from Feitian Village was continuously transported to the outside world, while supplies from the outside world were constantly being brought into the village.

Most importantly, by combining the technology of Xingtian City, Wuzhen created a practical steam engine and applied it to every corner of the village.

Although these steam engines were far inferior to the Bronze Beast after Wuzhen's modification in terms of both efficiency and function.

However, these steam engines did not require precious bronze, as Feitian Village was able to mine and cast them on its own, making it self-sufficient.

The ubiquitous steam pile drivers are a perfect example.

Using the power generated by a steam engine, a heavy hammer was repeatedly lifted and lowered, thus solidifying the entire mountain peak in the most primitive way.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had forcefully pressed down on the mountain peak.

At the highest point of this mountain—where the peak was originally located—a vast flat area, resembling a plain, suddenly appeared.

Even more outrageous is that with the continuous tamping of those steam pile drivers...

This vast flat area continues to expand outwards, seemingly threatening to flatten the entire mountain.

"what is that?"

Transforming into an eagle and soaring in the sky, Yinglong took a while to come to his senses.

Looking down at the steam-powered pile drivers that were still trembling and bombarding the mountaintop, words like "speechless" couldn't adequately describe his feelings at that moment.

If a mountain peak were leveled by divine power, Yinglong would not be surprised in the slightest.

The problem is, it's not some god that's currently flattening the mountain.

Instead, they are strangely shaped, yet possess a mechanical beauty, appearing as "clumsy, large, and crude."

Moreover, besides those steam pile drivers...

Several high-intensity searchlights shone into the night sky, turning the original darkness into daylight.

None of that matters, look over there.

Just then, Yu Guo reminded Ying Long to look at the distant sky.

Directly above the platform, illuminated by several "searchlights," a strange-looking aircraft was circling aimlessly in the night sky.

Its high-speed rotating propeller is the basis for its flight...

Its internally rumbling steam engine was the source of its power for flight...

To maintain balance as much as possible, the aircraft also has straight wings on both sides, like those of a dragonfly...

In Li Boyang's previous life, such a hybrid of a helicopter and a glider would definitely have been regarded as a freak by everyone.

However, in this mythical age, such a creation that could fly without any supernatural powers or magic, relying solely on primitive mechanical structures, seemed somewhat exaggerated.

The most outrageous thing is that there were several mountain people wearing simple gliders flying alongside the aircraft.

It is clear that the construction of those gliders is simple.

However, the material used to weave these gliders is a special silk thread produced in Lijia Village.

Light as a veil, tough in texture, and even possessing a certain degree of buoyancy...

Yinglong, with his keen eyes, even noticed the proverbs flowing on the gliders—they were completely different from the talismans that ordinary mountain people learned.

Talismans are simplified versions of proverbs and incantations.

It was a compromise created by Li Boyang in order to popularize education and lower the threshold.

Every student who graduated from the Hundred Lands School has studied talismans.

However, the content about proverbs and incantations is an elective course for senior students aged fourteen to sixteen at Hyakuchi School.

Furthermore, this elective course requires extremely high intelligence and knowledge reserves, and ordinary students are simply not qualified to take it.

"Am I seeing things?" "There are actually people in such a remote place who understand proverbs?"

With his eyes wide in disbelief, Yinglong knew how sought-after those graduates were in the Hundred Mountains.

There are very few graduates in even a large town like Takamura who possess extremely high intelligence and knowledge reserves and are qualified to study Proverbs and Incantations.

Not to mention this village, which is so remote that it is almost completely cut off from other villages.

[That makes sense. She's known as a 'knowledge glutton,' so how could she not study the proverbs and incantations left behind by Wu Yao?]

For some reason, Yinglong seemed to detect a hint of expectation in Yu Guo's voice, but this expectation was mixed with undisguised apprehension.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"what?"

Wu Zhen, who was piloting the aircraft, suddenly looked up and stared intently at the eagle in the distance.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, the eagle did not show the slightest abnormality.

But Wuzhen still ordered the mountain people who were flying around to land, and he himself piloted the aircraft to slowly land on the huge platform.

This is when the unusual features of this aircraft became apparent.

Despite being a mechanized structure made of steel, it is surprisingly lightweight.

The moment it landed, the aircraft didn't even stir up any dust; only the high-speed rotation of the propellers created a gust of wind.

It is obvious that the metal that makes up this aircraft is not any metal known on Earth, but a special product unique to this mythical era.

Considering the unique influence of vital energy on various substances.

The metal used to manufacture this aircraft was most likely produced by Wu Zhen using weapon-refining techniques.

call!call!call!
With the help of the strong winds generated by the propellers, the mountain people who had accompanied them folded up their gliders and landed steadily on the ground.

"Get down! Do I have to ask you to?"

With a leap, Wu Zhen jumped out of the aircraft and looked up at the sky again, shouting.

The next second, the eagle flapped its wings and landed.

Then, the moment it landed, it rolled and transformed into a golden-haired child with two horns and a dragon tail.

"..."

The moment Wu Zhen saw Yinglong's image, she couldn't help but frown.

"You really know how to cause me trouble, Yu Guo."

The moment Wu Zhen called out the name "Yu Guo", a look of astonishment appeared on Ying Long's young face.

But then, an old voice came from Yinglong's mouth.

"I'm not trying to cause you trouble, I'm just coming to you because I have no other choice."

"After all, I really can't think of anyone else here who would be willing to help me besides you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Yu Guo's remarks, Wu Zhen suddenly revealed a cold smile.

"I'll help you?"

"Let's set aside the issue of our positions for now."

"If you really wanted my help, would you have brought this huge trouble upon yourself?"

Wu Zhen's gaze lingered on Ying Long's youthful face for a moment, and he made no attempt to hide his disdain.

"This is E'tu's precious treasure, a guy who's registered with the Celestials."

"You brought him here because you want me to die sooner?"

“I have already assured that person that I will not cause him any trouble, in any way.”
