The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 676
When the sun sets, it is dusk.

It may be due to the fact that the land on this plane is floating high in the sky. Although the sun has already set on the horizon, it is still far from the sea level.

At this time, if you lie on the edge of the floating island and look down, you will find that layers of thin clouds have condensed in the sky where you could see the bottom at a glance, gradually covering the bottom of the raging sea like a veil.

According to Saili, the float is a kind of gas that is sensitive to temperature and pressure. When the sun is silent and the temperature drops, the float will become "inert" and condense together to form a cloud of float, which is still scattered Little by little, until late at night, the [-]-meter-high floating layer will turn into a deep sea of ​​clouds.

Lin Tianci was in the mood to listen to Sai Li talking about these trivial matters because he had been searching nearby for two days.

During this period, he asked the local residents if there were meteors falling recently, and he also looked for nearby craters where extremely blue glowing stars fell. He even went up to see the nearby uninhabited floating islands, but found nothing.

Compared with the ocean, the land area of ​​this plane is quite small. Is it possible that the debris fell into the ocean below, which is [-] meters away?
Then there is something to look for. The sea below is not only exaggerated in size, but it will set off huge waves all year round. A fragment of an extremely blue star will fall into it, and it will not just sink to the bottom, and will be carried by the ocean currents around the world. Ghosts don't know where to find them.

However, this possibility is still extremely low.

After sending monks through the Three Realms Gate, there are two conditions for the choice of landing point.

One is that there are no intelligent creatures near the landing point, that is, the local people will not see the scene where Lin Tianci crosses over.

The second is that there must be a fragment of an extremely blue glowing star near the landing point.

Of course, there is a big error in "nearby", but the vertical error of [-] meters seems to be too exaggerated.

In other words, when Lin Tianci traveled here, there must have been debris nearby, but he couldn't find it, and there was no trace of the debris falling at all.

Where did that fragment go?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility that is the most likely.

Remember that when Lin Tianci first arrived, a large ship just sailed away from this floating island?

Although Lin Tianci didn't want to think about it, this was the only possibility. The fragment was very likely to be regarded as a precious gem by the locals, and it was on the ship that had already left.

So what Brother Lin can do now is to find another ship, chase the one in front, and see if he can get the fragments back.

I don't know the place where I live, and I don't even know where the ship carrying the debris has gone. In this case, go after it...

To be honest, the success rate is very low.

Ships on the plane of Cypru only shuttle between the inhabited floating islands according to the prescribed route, just like a bus, so people at the port can find out where the previous ship has gone by asking around. The problem is The person carrying the debris may disembark halfway, and Brother Lin has to go down and look for it at every stop in order to prevent himself from "passing the stop".

This also leads to not only a low success rate, but also a terrible low efficiency.

Running across to find the fragments of the extremely blue brilliant star, the most deceitful thing is that there is no guide at all. People looking for Dragon Balls even have Dragon Ball radars. Lin Tianci can only look blindly by himself.

Because of this cheating, Brother Lin decided to stay in this plane for half a month. If he could not find the whereabouts of the fragments during this period, he would go back and pick another plane to travel. There are still many fragments that have not been found. , there is no need to chase after one that is hard to find.

However, it is still necessary to try, so Lin Tianci has also boarded a regular ship now, and the route is the same as the ship suspected of carrying debris.

Since the ships of this plane are not on the water surface, but sail in the floating layer, the ship does not need to face the rough water surface. Compared with the liquid, the floating layer is still very calm, so there is no need for an excessively high hull. Plus for stability, the hull is stretched wide.

Therefore, their boats are wide and flat, and they are shuttle-shaped or spindle-shaped as a whole, which is conducive to moving under the gas lift.

A row of eight huge 'factory'-shaped metal pipes can be seen at the stern, which is also part of the ship's power plant.

It is said that the internal pipeline has a siphon design similar to that of a toilet. When it is parked, the valve will be closed. When it is started, it needs manpower to open the baffle. When the float flows through these pipelines, it will be accelerated to obtain propulsion.

What's even more amazing is that all of this does not require magic to participate, nor does it require fuel, it is just a purely mechanical structure.

Due to the characteristics of the buoy layer, only a little thrust can push the ship, so this kind of auxiliary power that is safe, environmentally friendly, time-saving and labor-saving is the standard configuration for large ships on this plane.

Facing the sunset, the ship docked for about two hours, and then set sail.

Unfolding the sails, the airflow passes through the large tubes and is accelerated by physics and ejected from the other end. Driven by a circle of white clouds, the ship slowly sails away from the pier.

Lin Tianci was standing at the bow of the boat, and Sai Li was still eloquently explaining to him the customs and customs of the plane of Saipulu.

"Look at the bottom of the floating island. The color of the rocks over there is darker than that at the top. It is not obvious at close range, but it is easy to see at a distance. The dividing line between dark rocks and light colors is determined by the local people. People call it the 'float line', which is similar to the water line in general. Because the temperature drops at night, the floats will pile up inertly, not only will there be a sea of ​​clouds, but the float line will also drop, so here Ships must sail before nightfall, otherwise they will 'fall' from the dock. This will cause damage to the hull or dock facilities. However, this float is gas after all, not just under the float line, it just escapes The point that comes out can't support the ship at all, and it can't even support the weight of a human body, which is almost negligible."

This is also why the balls played by those children when they first arrived in this plane can float over like gliding on the water.

Lin Tianci listened to Sally's science popularization, and watched floating islands of different sizes gradually pass by the sides of the hull, but strange thoughts flashed through his mind.

If the story of the Titanic happened in this plane, wouldn't Jack and Rose die?The float layer can fully support people, so there is no need to worry about falling directly.

Thinking of the Titanic, Lin Tianci also thought of the scene where Jack painted Rose...

Uh, man.

After looking at the distorted scenery for the past two days, Lin Tianci turned and went back to the cabin.

It really took a while for him to get on the boat.

Of course, this kind of regular boat is not free, you need to buy a ticket to get on the boat, but after getting on the boat, Brother Lin remembered that he didn't have the currency of this plane...

Cyprus currency is not the same as the 'coins' used on many planes, they use a kind of metal feather.

There is a kind of iron-eating bird that swallows the exposed ore, extracts metal elements in the body, and grows a pure metal tail feather.In the custom of the local people, catching an iron-eating bird is a child's coming-of-age ceremony, and the metal feather is also their initial currency.

Later, the level of productivity improved, and metallurgical technology was able to produce qualified currency, so gold, silver, and copper were cast into the shape of feathers, which can be regarded as an inheritance of ancient customs.

The price of the ticket depends on the class of the cabin. The cheapest third-class cabin needs ten copper feathers, and the first-class cabin needs one silver feather.

I was planning to find out a gemstone brought from Eastern China to see if I could exchange it for some money, but the conductor looked at Lin Tianci's attire, and then at the brooch that was explaining to him endlessly, and immediately called He tremblingly invited Brother Lin to board the ship very respectfully, and notified the captain to arrange a first-class cabin for him, saying that you are free...

Spellcasters are given preferential treatment in all planes of the multiverse world, but in Cyprus, spellcasters are no longer given preferential treatment, they are simply worshiped as gods.

After all, in their religious beliefs, the caster is an envoy who is empowered by the gods (ancient elves), has a very high social status and has many privileges, not to mention free boat rides, even if there are a lot of people who are willing to pay...

I have to say that this is indeed feudal superstition, but it always feels a bit weird to say feudal superstition in a magical world.

In short, Brother Lin boarded the boat, and the next step was to chase after the previous boat that was suspected of carrying fragments of the extremely blue star.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

As time passed, the night gradually enveloped the sky, and the layer of floaters also turned into a vast sea of ​​clouds under the influence of the sudden drop in temperature.

The ship sailed in the sea of ​​clouds, carefully avoiding large and small floating islands.

Brother Lin stayed in the so-called first class cabin, looking very melancholy.

It’s not that the room is not good enough. There’s really nothing to complain about in a cabin of almost [-] square meters that even has a sofa, but the problem is that the food is terrible.

The people in Sepulu like to eat stews, especially the sticky thick soup, which is their favorite.But brother Lin can't get used to it, what's even more painful is their staple food, a kind of fruit that grows on trees.

The skin of this thing is red with a certain amount of wax, a bit like a dragon fruit, and the flesh part contains a lot of starch and fiber, not like the starch of rice noodles, but more like the kind of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

It’s far less delicious than potatoes. The cake baked with this thing also contains a lot of plant fiber. After eating two bites, you can pull a ball of wool from your mouth...

He stuffed a candied fruit in his mouth, and took another sip of wine into the gourd, finally suppressing the dry and astringent taste.

"Ceramics have developed in many planes, but most of them are not as exquisite as Eastern Shenzhou. This may be related to the raw materials and furnace temperature. Eastern Shenzhou is also far ahead in glaze preparation and other technical aspects, but the whole piece It becomes very cheap for large-scale ceramic products to enter the homes of ordinary people. The level of productivity on the earth must have reached a very exaggerated level. The reproducibility of wisdom crystals is the key to social progress. The lower the cost of duplication, the better the social development. "

Evening is still the time for Brother Lin to talk about things on Earth with Sai Li, and today is of course no exception.

By the way, what Brother Lin was talking about with Sai Li was actually the toilet...
