Chapter 25 Forced Landing
"How can we help?" Several people gathered on the control platform. Catherine looked at the captain who was sweating but was still trying to control the floating ship and asked anxiously: "What can we do?"
"River, no, that person destroyed a lot of floating magic circles." The captain replied quickly: "It destroyed the balance of the floating ship. Now the power of floating ships floating front, back, left and right is asymmetric. I now barely make the floating ship not overturned, but forcibly maintaining balance will cause the entire hull to break in the air. The most important thing now is to manually close the magic circles with the symmetrical symmetry of the damaged magic circles. This way, although the power of the floating ship is weakened, the balance can be restored."
"Then let's close the magic circle now." Catherine asked, "Do you know what to close, Captain."
"I don't know." The captain shook his head and said, "You must first find the destroyed magic array to know the corresponding to each magic array."
"Stop kidding, it's too late." Vivian looked around and said to the captain: "Captain, you can directly terminate all the functions of magic circles now, so you should be able to control it here."
"You want to let the ship fall by artificially, and then automatically activate the deceleration and weight reduction array to force landing, no." The captain said: "The sails are still hanging. When you close all the arrays at this time, the floating ship will lose balance and start rolling forward. It is absolutely not possible.
"Then lower the sail." The hull was shaking more and more violently, and Catherine shouted anxiously: "Why not lower the sail?"
"If you can't descend, the sailing system will be destroyed." The captain felt bitter in his mouth. He had to use the airflow in the air to adjust the balance of the floating ship, and to find a way to fundamentally solve the problem. The old man felt that he was really old for the first time. His mind was not enough: "I have given the order to descend the sail, but the operator tried it several times, but there was no response at all."
"Why are you going to manually lower the sail?" Catherine asked, "Can't people climb up now?"
"It's shaking so much." The captain shook his head hard: "Look at the people under the mast. They have tried it a few times. They fell down after climbing to five meters at a maximum. One of them almost fell off the boat."
"Vivian." Catherine pressed her hand on the operating table to maintain balance, and held Vivian's body with the other hand and shouted loudly.
"Understand." Vivian let go of her hands. She only used Catherine's hand to maintain balance, and raised her staff in her hand. She aimed at the sails on the mast that were filled with the wind-attribute magic circle with the colorless Lann magic line.
"Are you going to burn the sail?" the captain shouted.
"Obviously, this is the only way." Vivian said loudly. "I know that sail is very expensive. Those thousands of magic arrays are worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but it is cheaper than destroying the entire ship after it falls."
"It's not the problem." The captain said with a wry smile: "Who is still in charge of gold coins now. The problem is that if you want to burn the sails, it's best to burn from bottom to top or from top to bottom, and never start from one side. Now my control here has reached its limit. If you start burning from the side, the ship will definitely turn into a gyroscope."
"I really want to worry." Vivian stomped his feet angrily, the magic power on the staff dissipated, and he began to brew another large-scale magic again, and shouted at the same time with the maximum volume: "The people below don't want to be burned to death and hurry up and go away."
Several people gathered under the mast and were thinking of ways to look back. Seeing Vivian holding the staff high, they were stunned for a moment and suddenly realized what she was going to do. They ran away in an instant. Vivian snorted in dissatisfaction, and the staff that condensed magic power began to draw spells in the air. More and more fire-attribute elements condensed from the staff in all directions. Just as the elements condensed to the apex and Vivian's spell was about to be cast, the sails that ate the wind suddenly took off from the top of the mast. They fell layer by layer along the slide rails on the mast, and quickly descended back to the top of the deck under the action of gravity. The magic circle on the sail was deformed due to the wrinkles generated by the sails descending. Then they lost the magic effect. The wind elements gathered from the magic circle quickly dissipated, causing the speed of the floating ship to quickly decrease, and finally stopped moving forward and floated in the air.
Looking at the top of the mast from afar, Catherine found that Panis had returned to his usual lazy appearance, hung his feet upside down on the top of the mast, swaying along the shaking of the floating boat, like a swing, and waving to the side while shaking.
"This guy is so irritating. Even the demigod still makes people want to hit him so much." Although Catherine said ruthlessly, she had a smile on her face. When the floating ship stopped completely, she said to the captain: "Okay, turn off all the magic circles. By the way, what about the other people on the ship? The passengers, your technicians, and waiters like Maggie, are all fine, why didn't they see any? Have they all returned to the cabin?"
"Don't worry, since we first passed through the Rinfeng Pass, we had already asked all passengers to return to our cabin. This is the rule." The hull of the floating ship suddenly vibrated violently again. Although the shaking of the front, back and left and right began to weaken slowly, we could clearly feel that the hull was falling rapidly. However, the captain let go of his hand from the console with a look of gratitude and stood up straight and said to Catherine: "I believe our technicians and waiters are all well-trained veterans, and they can complete the work they should do without instructions. The waiters must be comforting the passengers now, and the technicians must be doing the preparations for anti-vibration."
"Shock-resistant?" Vivian asked from the side: "Even if there are speed reduction and weight reduction measures, can't the power of the fall be completely offset?"
"It's a pity that it's impossible to completely offset it." The captain shook his head and said, "But there won't be too big problems. At most it's equivalent to falling from a height of about ten meters. Although it will cause serious damage to the bottom of the hull, the people on the ship will not be in danger. Moreover, the overall structure of the ship is fine, so it's easier to repair in the future. Thank you for this result."
"Don't thank us, we didn't help any of our things." Catherine said with a reluctant smile: "No, it's better to say that we are not helping, it's better to say that the situation is largely due to our reasons."
"No, although I don't fully understand what happened, I still understand the general situation. After all, I was listening when you were talking." Although the captain's back was still straight, his expression seemed much older, and he sighed with a lonely look: "That mummy just now should have killed the old friend River, and then pretended to be him wearing his flesh and blood, trying to steal the ship, but because he was concerned about the existence of you, he did not take action immediately. However, you always have to get off the ship, and it should be time for him to take action when you get off the ship. Compared with the floating ship being really successfully snatched away by him, the situation is now the best result. It's a pity that the old friend died, and there is one less friend who can chat with."
"I think, instead of spending time to sigh, you might as well see where we will fall first." Freya lay down on the side of the ship and looked down: "I always think we will fall into the sea. Can this ship sail in the sea? And if it falls on land, the bottom of the ship is sharp, won't it overturn?"
"No sailing function, water leakage will occur when entering the sea. And there is no need to worry about overturning. The bottom of the floating boat is flat. The problem of emergency landing was considered when designing. Therefore, although the hull is large and small at the top, it can still be stopped steadily against the plane of the bottom of the boat and will not overturn." The captain staggered to the side of the boat during the descent, and took a quick judgment based on experience, shook his head and said, "It will not fall into the sea, it will be about two hundred meters on the beach by the sea, and the ground is very flat and there will be no problems. But... where is this?"
"Ah?" Freya exclaimed: "You don't know?"
"Oh, I understand." The captain carefully identified the surrounding environment and sighed and said, "Why did you come here?"
"Fortunately you know each other." Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "Is this the coastline?"
"This is... an island." Because no one paid attention to him, Panis hung on the mast for less than a minute, and then climbed down in shame. Although it was still twenty or thirty meters away from here, he could clearly hear the conversation between several people and shouted from afar: "A big and big island."
"Well, he is right, this is an island." The captain said with a confused look on his face: "It is my responsibility. After you started the war in the air, I have not controlled the direction of the floating ship, but I actually let it fly all the way here. This is Jianyu Island, five kilometers away from the coastline and five kilometers away from the trek route. It is one of the several large islands that land creatures can simply land on."
"Well, it turns out that Swordfish Island is here." Lina opened the Warcraft Illustrated Book published by the Adventurers Guild, looked through a few pages, and said with her eyes shining: "It is said that there is a kind of Warcraft that is twin seas and land only exists on this island. I'll look at it, it's called Leopard Dog. The picture looks very interesting. If it lands, let's look for it. I'm very curious."
"It's better not." Panis rejected: "Although this island has been developed, it is the same type as the forest island, and the forest on the island is the same as the forest on the mainland, so it is impossible to build artificial buildings and cannot live in it. Because of this, the monsters in the forest are no less than those in the forest on the mainland. It is very dangerous for most ordinary people on the ship. Therefore, it is best not to get off the ship after landing, just wait for rescue on the ship."
"Stop talking." Catherine suddenly said, "Land soon, ready to hit."
