Chapter 63: The Prototype

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Lucas

Three days after that, at about three in the afternoon, a prototype of theairship was assembled After that, it was sent to the Workshop to be fitted with siht when all the necessary components were added However, with the exception of internet cafes, which normal citizens couldn’t afford and specialists had no tiht life Therefore, even though testing of the prototype could very well go deep into the night, everyone on the tea reineer, the prototype took its first shaky steps into space

Looking at the surveillance ly “This re brilliantly Is it possible to have all the airships be re people inside?”

The engineer shook his head, explaining, “Major, I’m sorry to report, but this remote control system is only usable within a short distance Due to interference, like radioactive and intergalactic waves, control will be lost after ten kilometers…

“Furthermore, the meteorite cluster has a complicated landscape I doubt a remote-controlled airship will be able to traverse it well”

Yao Yuan debated before ceding to the engineer’s argue of drones He had learned how complex terrain could prove fatal to remotely controlled devices

Then, a soldier walked into the room He was summoned because he used to be an operator for military drones

On theout from the Hope It had a sloaddle, but it appeared to be extremely receptive Whenever the operator issued a command, the prototype would instantly follow

“Next, let us increase its speed to 70 percent,” suggested the engineer

After the operator pressed on a button on the remote control, a burst of flaine The prototype, propelled by the fla its weaknesses in the process It showed signs of delayed reaction when it was ordered to brake or turn under high speeds

Test driving took almost an hour, and Yao Yuan left with another stack of reports

Experts unanireed that the prototype was relatively stable It had the quality of a 21st century product

Nevertheless, its propulsion systeative influence on dexterity, left much to be desired This was, however, the nature of a rocket-based propulsion systey at the ti to be easily fixed

This, however, did not ht after the test drive rapped up, an e was held to ireement was made to decrease the power of the system since the small airship would not require such powerful propulsion This in turn preserved the airship’s natural dexterity…

With that, another series of tests was i could be found in the si skills because he was personally ordered by Yao Yuan to pilot the officialairship It was an honor, but to be frank, he was quite miffed “Why has an important, and not to ain” was the question he was struggling with

A question to which Yao Yuan answered, “Because you’re the only Diviner we have on the Hope Having access to visions of incoh time to push the airship’s ejector button, which will propel you out into space Its life support will keep you alive for about another hour while the Hope moves to rescue you In other words, you’re our safest bet”

That hy Zhang Heng was ument, one that he couldn’t refute That was also the explanation as to why he had been lugging his long face around the Hope for the past two days

“Hey, Zhang Heng, where’s theto treat us to today?”
