Chapter 763 Take a Ride in My Flying Machine
Anton rolled his eyes. "My aircraft has a very high safety rating. Besides, it's just falling from the sky. At worst, I'll be seriously injured. It's not that easy to die!"
So that's why you were sent here, right?
You're really lucky to be alive and standing here, buddy.
Seeing the undistrust written all over Xu Ning's face, Anton quickly explained, "I've improved it again; it's now version 4.0..."
Xu Ning was slightly taken aback, and held up half a hand, "You mean you've already fallen three times?"
Anton slapped Xu Ning helplessly, "Why does your comprehension always seem to go in the wrong direction?"
"The power core of my aircraft was personally designed by Giordano, the founder of the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences. It is the greatest..."
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink. "You mean the Fengdan Academy of Sciences that got blown up?"
"How can you be so annoying?!"
Xu Ning helplessly spread his hands, "You're the one who said my comprehension is always downward, so this time I've changed it to upward. Why are you still not satisfied?"
"That accident was all Edwin's fault. Mine is different. It was designed by the unparalleled genius Alan Giyodan. It can convert energy into propulsion through the annihilation reaction of yang and huang to move the aircraft..."
Wildness? Desolation?
Xu Ning recalled the two energies that the owner, Fontaine, mentioned when she first arrived at the Beaumont Workshop and inquired about the Law of Compensation.
It seems that the couple at the Fontaine Academy, Julius and Lulvie, who built the ship in Melot-Petersburg, also used a material called Primordial Ore, which utilized this kind of primordial energy.
But what did this guy just say about "Alan Giordan"?
Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?
Just like when I heard the description of the Manghuang energy last time, it seemed like I had seen it in some book before, and it must have been recently.
Where did you read books before you came to Fontainebleau?
Ningguang? What a joke, with Ningguang in front of you, how could you possibly choose to read a book?
That's in the desert... Yes, the desert!
Xu Ning suddenly remembered a manuscript he had obtained and asked Anton, "Who is René?"
Anton thought he had persuaded the stranger to consider experiencing the freedom of flight, but he never expected him to ask such a question.
Anton glanced around and unconsciously lowered his voice to ask, "You don't mean to ask about 'Rene de Petrique,' do you?"
"Why are you acting so suspiciously? Is this name off-limits in Fontainebleau?"
Anton scratched his head, straightened up, and chuckled, "No, it's just that I'm a student at the Fengdan Academy of Sciences, and he... he betrayed the academy, turned against Giyodan, and secretly formed a society and plotted crimes..."
What kind of drama is this? Is Fontainebleau really an opera stage? If you want to perform, then come and play.
The notebook he received was called "Rene's Investigation Notes." The tone of the whole thing made him sound like a kid, but the academic research style was very similar to that of the professors and scholars at the Sumeru Academy.
Moreover, in the diary, both René and Jacob seemed to have extreme trust and dependence on Alain Giordan.
Xu Ning was a little puzzled by Anton's words about turning against each other, and then turned to look at Funina.
Fu Ningna scratched her hat like Anton did, "It seems like they held some kind of salon, a bunch of people drinking tea and reading books, and somehow it got to the point of almost exterminating humanity, and then they were defeated by the Shadow Chaser at the time."
Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought of relying on Lord Water God. I'll go back and look through that notebook tonight.
"Well then, since I've answered your question so sincerely, how about taking a ride on my flying vehicle?"
Anton looked at the two of them with anticipation.
Seeing that Funina seemed somewhat interested, Xu Ning asked Anton, "Can you guarantee absolute safety?"
"...Based on the results of calculations and simulation experiments, it is absolutely safe!"
Don't be so absolute, you know you're hesitating!
Anyway, even if the aircraft crashes, I can guarantee Funina's safety, and it doesn't cost me any ride tickets, so let's give it a try.
Xu Ning reached out to Anton and said, "Bring me the instruction manual."
What instruction manual?
Xu Ning was furious. "So those two good friends in Baisong Town were definitely killed because of you? Didn't you just say they didn't follow the operating manual?"
Anton chuckled awkwardly, "Well, we used to have that, but now I've set the aircraft to cruise along a fixed route. It doesn't need any manual operation; it will automatically fly around once and return to this platform."
“Come, come,” Anton led the two onto the ship, pointing to the power core at the stern, “See that golden light coming from here? There’s already a radiant energy block inside. You just need to put this primal energy block in, and the two will undergo an annihilation reaction, spewing out a huge stream of energy from the stern, allowing you to break free from the earth’s constraints and reach straight to the sky!”
"Reaching straight to the horizon? Wasn't it said that it would just circle around and come back?"
"That's a romantic way of saying it..."
Xu Ning was truly exasperated with this unreliable guy.
He took the desolate energy block, and a faint purple light emanated from it in his hand.
Xu Ning carefully sensed it and confirmed that it was indeed energy similar to that of the abyss. However, it seemed to have undergone some kind of cleansing, as this energy had lost much of the malevolent and destructive aura emanating from the abyss energy, and had become a pure energy body like other elements.
After Anton jumped down, Xu Ning placed the desolate energy stone into the power core, and a stream of greenish-blue energy slowly spewed out from the tail of the aircraft downwards.
As the energy flow increased, the entire spacecraft slowly began to take off.
"Oh my, it can actually fly. If it can really circle around these mountains, I'll have the Mo Mang Palace purchase one as my pilgrimage vehicle."
Xu Ning laughed. When he pulled Funina out of the opera house earlier, he did feel that running away on foot was pretty low-class, and he had thought about getting some kind of mount or vehicle.
But thinking about it, it seems there aren't any suitable options within my own inner world.
To be carried in a grand sedan chair by eight men, like Lord Huang, and have those mechanical puppets run around?
That's too feudal, and it would be easy for Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun to beat her up. She seems to be taking good care of those little spirit-suppressing guys now, and won't let herself oppress them.
Make a small car, invest a dozen or so big bones every day, and have Shadow Wolf and the dogs drag it at high speed?
It's fun, and it can even exercise dogs, but it's a bit low-class.
Honestly, flying on Venti is the most impressive thing, right? Riding a demon... what the hell am I thinking?
Fu Ningna poked Xu Ning, who was lost in his daydream, with her finger.
"Did you notice that this thing stopped, and it seems like the jet engine behind it stopped too...?"
