Capítulo 217: Chapter 216 sky sailing
The wood was joined together with glue to make a very long wooden pillar. Then this wooden pillar was erected on the back of the airship. Next, two horizontal wooden pillars were made and glued to the vertical pillar, one at the top and one at the bottom.
Then a large membrane made of glue material was placed on top of these wooden structures. The wind blew through the membrane to move the entire airship, thus obtaining a source of power.
In Lin's mind, there was a word that called this structure 'sail'. Although it was still very slow, at least it was much better than the previous two methods.
It was because of the brainworm's rich imagination that it was able to create such a thing. It could instantly think of many methods, and when it felt that a method was feasible, it would immediately try it out.
This method of using 'sails' was very difficult to control the direction of the airship, and it was also very unstable when the wind blew. The brainworm then modified the wooden pillar to connect it to the inside of the airship, and it was also able to rotate, allowing the infantry to control its movements. At the same time, it also made a 'sail' at the front and back of the airship, controlling all three sails at the same time, allowing the airship to move forward very smoothly.
"Let's go."
Following the brainworm's command, the airship finally began to move. Following the airflow in the air, the brainworm directed the airship to fly in a certain direction.
Lin didn't know where it was going, but she felt that it would be more interesting to just watch without asking. Of course, she made a few guesses. The brainworm might be going to attack the Inca insect swarm, or to catch dragonflies to eat.
These were probably the only things the brainworm wanted to do in the air. Or perhaps it wanted to build a base in the air?
"Rolling in the water, rolling in the air. Beep beep beep beep. "
The brainworm was shaking its body. It was also making sounds with a strange tone. It seemed to be expressing its happiness and excitement. This seemed to be a method called 'singing'. In Lin's mind, singing was a beautiful and pleasant sound made with various tones. It was a kind of art.
But the brainworm seemed to be just randomly making a few sounds, it felt like it had nothing to do with art. In fact, Lin didn't really understand the true meaning of 'art', it seemed to include many things, including explosions.
But this brainworm was really fun.
The airship of the brainworm slowly moved forward with the wind between the floating islands. Passing through the huge floating islands with waterfalls, passing through the clouds filled with rainbows, countless flying creatures flew around the airship. Every time they saw something, the brainworm would excitedly call out.
"Under the starry sky, it's approaching, it's rolling, I'm rolling as well."
The brainworm 'sang' while moving towards the South. The brainworm used infantry to control the direction of the airship. But its control wasn't very good, so the airship would occasionally crash into small floating rocks. But the airship was too slow was too slow.
However, this speed was too slow. It might take a long time to reach the destination, and it was not easy to confirm where the brain worm's target was.
Lin will follow and observe slowly.
On the other side, in the base located at the Lake of the Mountain, Lin was also creating a large scale Burrowing Worm for volcano exploration. Lin planned to dig through this mountain range to see if there was anything interesting inside. Lin's main goal was to find a kind of crustaceous substance, the kind of Purgatory Worm, which could only be found very deep underground.
At the same time, the large worms would also be used to investigate the situation at the bottom of the sea. Lin planned to use these worms to drill into the depths of the sea to see if there were any special changes in the water.
The large worms weren't easy to create, so it would take some time. But before that, Lin would first send some troops to explore the sea.
Lin had also recently continued her research on the underground world. She found that the underground world was still slowly collapsing. The rocks that contained Sound Stones were slowly breaking apart from the other rocks, causing a large number of cracks. This phenomenon was slowly spreading, and if it completely broke apart, the underground world would still collapse. Due to the infection of the fungus, many Hometrees had become extremely fragile, they were in a state where they could collapse at any time.
Lin estimated that if the entire underground world collapsed, a large area from the mountains to the desert would collapse and sink into the depths of the earth.
But this situation wasn't destructive, and it might even create a new environment. It was actually a very interesting situation.
While all kinds of research were going on, time slowly passed …
Two days later.
Under the blue moon, a light breeze blew. Sound Shi's airship moved slowly in the air. Even after two days, it couldn't fly very far. It was only about six meters per second, and if the wind wasn't good, it would slow down even more.
But the brainworm obviously didn't care about this small problem.
"The starry sky tumbles, the sea of the sky, beautiful, like the dew of the day."
At this time, the brainworm was on Sound Shi's airship. It personally went to the back of the airship to feel the night air, looked at the moon in the sky, and sang.
Needless to say, as a defenseless meatball, doing this was very dangerous.
The surrounding floating islands seemed to be responding to the brainworm's voice, and a series of chirps sounded. It was another creature that could sing, called 'crickets.'
Crickets were a very strange name. Lin preferred to call them 'brain-snipping scissors' because they were a very fierce … monster!
Bam! On an island less than ten meters away from Sound Shi's airship, there was a sudden loud noise. It was the sound of crickets jumping off the ground. Their hind legs were long and powerful, and under the great force of the hydraulic system, they slammed the ground and jumped high into the air. Recently, Lin also wanted to make some hind legs based on this structure and install them on some soldiers.
In less than a second, a monster landed on Sound Shi's airship.
It was about three meters long, and its teeth were like two curved blades. Crickets liked to use these sharp teeth to cut off the heads of their prey. It pounced on an infantryman and cut off his head in one bite. As blood gushed out of the neck of the infantryman, it continued to chomp on his body.
The brainworm was shocked. It seemed to have just realized that an infantryman had been bitten to death. It immediately ordered all the infantrymen to surround the eating crickets.
This time, the brainworm didn't use any special tactics. The crickets' shells were very thin, and the large number of infantrymen tore them to pieces in an instant.
Although an infantryman died, it seemed to be worth it. After all, crickets were much bigger than infantrymen.
But …
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sound of crickets jumping could be heard from the floating islands around them. They landed on Sound Shi's airship one after another. A total of twenty crickets jumped on the airship and used their blade-like teeth to cut off the heads of the infantrymen nearby.
The crickets kept rubbing their wings and making sounds. Crickets usually made sounds to find a breeding partner or to compete with their own kind, but it also meant to 'attack together'. This kind of creature that usually liked to fight for territory would occasionally be quite united.
The brainworm immediately ordered the infantrymen to fight back. They used their blade-like forelimbs to cut open the crickets' skin and cut off the joints of their hind legs that allowed them to jump. One of the crickets' abdomen was cut. In pain, it kicked its legs and jumped, landing right next to the brainworm.
The brainworm was so scared that it rolled a few times to the side, but the injured cricket ignored it. It only wanted to escape. It jumped into the air again and flapped its wings at the same time to fly to a nearby floating island.
The brainworm's personality gave it high intelligence, but its personality also put it in danger. It seemed that the brainworm's development was full of such strange situations.
Take Muketu for example. He always stayed in one place to hunt and slowly develop his tribe. Although the danger was less, the increase in intelligence was also less. A character with rich personality like the brainworm could increase the overall intelligence of the tribe, but it could easily pull the tribe and itself into danger.
This was the so-called 'contradiction'.
Lin had been observing nearby, but she did not move. Lin did not think that a group of crickets would have any effect on the brainworm's tribe, but when she saw a cricket jump right next to the brainworm, she felt a little uneasy.
Other than the ones that were torn apart, the rest of the crickets escaped. Their small wings were not only used for sound, but also for short distance flight.
The frightened brainworm no longer had the mood to admire the moon. It planned to let the infantrymen take it back to Sound Shi's airship.
But at this moment, a huge creature appeared on the floating islands far away from the airship.
That was …
That creature knocked away the floating stones at a very fast speed and rushed towards the Rock Chime airship at high speed!
As the creature got closer and closer, its figure was clearly revealed under the moonlight … It was a Deepsand Bus!
There was actually a Deep Sand Bus that flew to such a deep place? Lin did not know about this, but she did not have many detection eyes in the air, so it was possible that she did not notice anything flying past.
The Deepsand Bus was much faster than Sound Shi's airship. Its spring-like tail could squeeze air and then spit it out. It crashed directly into the three 'sails' at the back of the airship, as if it knew that those were the airship's power source.
Under the impact of the Deepsand Bus, the wooden pillars holding the sails broke with a crack. The Deepsand Bus broke three pillars in a row. The pillars collapsed as they broke. The pillars rolled on the airship, crushing a large number of infantrymen. One pillar even almost crushed the brainworm. In the end, all the pillars rolled out of the airship and fell into the forest below.
The pillars killed almost 30% of the infantrymen. The brainworm rolled to the edge of the airship to avoid being crushed, but it and its troops did not have the chance to rest.
The Deepsand Bus made a circle in the air and then crashed into the airship again!
'Boom!'
This time, the Deepsand Bus slammed into the side of the airship. Under the strong impact, the brainworm was sent flying from the edge of the airship! Floating astronomy.
