Although we have mastered the basic principles and formulas of gravity, we still don’t fully understand the cause of gravity and how it works.
The discovery of gravitational waves in 2016, however, might lead to a breakthrough in this area.
But no matter how difficult this path may be.
For physicists like Zeng Gu Cheng, antigravity technology is, in a sense, the lifelong pursuit of their belief!
The kind where it’s worth dying for enlightenment at dusk!
Now he has seen a flying ship that seemingly achieves antigravity through some means.
Zeng Gu Cheng felt as excited as that time not long ago when he flew to Neon and had an in-depth discussion on life philosophy with that old brother, as if seeing the embodiment of some life goal!
Seeing his deputy captain looking like he was about to roll his eyes and have a heart attack, Lin Lixian patted the fast-acting heart pills in front of his chest, then pressed him down:
"Old Zeng, don’t rush. The Damo Realm has plenty of unknowns waiting for us to study. Can you not get yourself too excited?
Moreover, given the current situation, even if we’ve seen it, we can’t really understand it right away, right?
You can’t possibly ask Colonel Lin or Little Wang to rush into the main control room and take pictures, can you?
Listen to me, such matters can’t be rushed. Everything needs careful planning."
Yan Shaohua and others on the side also advised him, and finally, after a lot of persuasion, they managed to calm Zeng Gu Cheng down.
Lin Ziming and others, two hundred kilometers away in the camp, naturally had no idea what was happening at the command post.
Looking at the massive flying ship approaching the area, the only thought surging in Wang Qiang’s mind was:
Good thing this is an alternate world, otherwise Newton would be turning in his grave and shouting, "I quit being human, Jojo...."
Oh, what? Newton was cremated? Then never mind.
In any case, the appearance of the flying ship indeed brought great shock to everyone.
Just as everyone was in awe, the flying ship suddenly stopped at the edge of the area after reaching it.
Then it slowly began to descend.
After about ten minutes.
The enormous hull touched the ground with a faint sound, landing smoothly without kicking up any dust.
As the flying ship landed, Wei Qiangsheng called out to everyone:
"Everyone, get ready to board the ship!"
After the ship had landed.
The leaders of the other caravans also started calling out to their members.
Soon, many Yi Qi vehicles were pulled to the open area more than ten meters away from the side of the flying ship.
Once the Yi Qi vehicles were stabilized.
Wei Qiangsheng, with a few officials from the Wei Mansion caravan, went to the back of the vehicles and skillfully tinkered with them.
The carriage of the Yi Qi vehicles suddenly began to slowly lower, finally resting steadily on the ground, completely detaching from the axle.
These landed carriages seemed to trigger some internal mechanism, with four small wheels quietly appearing at the corners, evidently allowing them to be dragged.
This is some kind of ingeniously designed secondary mechanism, and the technology has already reached a very mature level.
Similar structures actually appeared during the Huaxia Warring States Period, but the process was not as convenient as those of the Wei Mansion.
After the carriages landed, several strong and sturdy attendants from the Wei Mansion caravan came out.
They worked in pairs, holding long ropes and approaching the carriages.
Subsequently, they fastened the ropes to the front of the carriages, pulling them towards the side of the flying ship.
Due to the large number of followers in the Wei Mansion caravan, plus Wei Qiangsheng’s personal reputation, the Wei Mansion caravan naturally lined up first.
After about another ten minutes.
A passage slowly opened in the center of the side of the flying ship.
The passage was approximately fifteen meters high and eight meters wide, enough to allow all the goods to pass through.
Subsequently, an elderly man in luxurious clothes, accompanied by more than twenty cultivators who seemed to be guards, walked out.
At this point, Lin Ziming had already successfully started spiritual enlightenment and absorbed Qi into his body. Although he had not yet broken through to the First-Layer Qi Cultivation, he already had a certain level of sensing ability.
This sensing ability wasn’t strong, but in the face of cultivators who unleashed their aura without reservation, he could still roughly judge their cultivation level.
Based on Lin Ziming’s judgment, these guards’ cultivation levels should all be above the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, well equipped.
The leading middle-aged man was exceptionally formidable, highly likely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With such powerful guards for a single flying ship, the foundation and strength of Ziqiong City were clear to see.
Wei Qiangsheng then respectfully stepped forward and handed a small bag to the old man in luxurious clothes.
According to the information previously provided by the Wei Mansion.
This flying ship can carry about 3000 people, and Ziqiong City charges a standard lower-grade spirit stone as the fare per passenger, allowing each person to carry two hundred pounds of cargo for free.
To be honest, this price is not expensive.
Operating the flying ship requires over 1,500 spirit stones, and various personnel expenses need to be considered during the flight.
Although the flying ship’s capacity is said to be 3000 people, it’s practically impossible to reach full capacity on every trip.
So, making a simple calculation.
It may not run at a loss, but making a huge profit from the flying ship is also unlikely.
Ziqiong City’s flying ships are a bit like tickets for certain budget tour groups, just breaking even is fine, the profit comes later.
If you’re doing business in Ziqiong City, you’ll surely have to pay trade taxes, and that’s the main profit. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net
The elderly man in luxurious clothes took the spirit stone bag from Wei Qiangsheng, carefully counted them, and gave some instructions—presumably about not wandering around after boarding, and such.
