Chapter 603 The Flight Principles of the Ark
220 days after birth.
Three days have passed since I set off from Jinan and headed north.
For the past three days, everyone has been somewhat on edge.
After all, the Ark had been sailing on water before, so even if it sank, it wouldn't necessarily mean certain death for the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, who had already honed their swimming skills to a high degree.
But now that the Ark is flying in the air, this is no joke.
Moreover, most people, like Yichen, were also intimidated by the idea that such a massive object as the Ark could fly.
However, after several days of sailing, it was proven that Noah was indeed infallible in terms of construction and production.
For the past three days, the ark has sailed very steadily, even more smoothly than when sailing on water.
If you didn't look at the outside scenery, you might even think that the ark was a building rooted on land.
However, to keep the ark sailing, it is necessary to release a series of spirit energy-gathering drones.
Besides the simple power and control systems, the remaining parts of these drones are spirit-gathering arrays and artificial spirit stones.
Once the artificial spirit stone is filled with spiritual energy, the drone will automatically cruise back to the Ark's cabin.
Then, the artificial spirit stones, filled with spiritual energy, are concentrated in the spiritual energy release area.
The spiritual energy released here will be channeled into the giant artificial spirit stone in the main control room.
Ultimately, the amount of spiritual energy required by each functional module's formation is determined by stimulating it from the giant artificial spirit stone.
While this may seem unnecessary, it is actually quite necessary.
After all, although Noah had manufactured a total of 10,000 spirit energy harvesting drones, and given its production efficiency, it would be easy for tens of thousands more to be produced in a few days.
However, if an enemy were to target the spirit energy harvesting drones and attempt to cut off the Ark's energy source, then the purpose of this giant man-made spirit stone would become apparent.
Although, given the strength of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, no evolved beings or evolved creatures would dare to come looking for death.
However, in recent days, quite a few flying evolved creatures have indeed targeted the aura-gathering drones that are far from the Ark, treating them as prey and attacking them.
Of course, these reckless guys have become food on everyone's dining table.
Because of the limited flight speed of drones, the Ark could not fly too fast either, maintaining a horizontal flight speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
This speed is much slower than that of commercial airliners before the revival of spiritual energy.
However, the Ark was able to fly not because of "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics", but because of "Fundamentals of Array Techniques".
The repulsive array keeps the ark airborne, while the attack array's bursts of energy serve as propulsion for forward movement and turning.
The main move is a powerful brick flying move.
Therefore, adding a wing-like structure to the original structure only slightly reduces air resistance and saves some spiritual energy.
In reality, even if the ark were built as a giant sphere, it could still fly.
Spiritual energy is just that powerful.
After three days of sailing, although the speed was not fast, we still flew thousands of miles north.
However, the most crucial issue in getting to Tianjin is not how fast you can fly, but how to find Tianjin.
The second spiritual energy revival tide caused the Earth's surface area to expand rapidly, creating many areas that did not exist before.
As for the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, if it weren't for Ao Han, a local dragon who lived near the mouth of the Yellow River, they would probably still be wandering the seas.
Of course, Ao Tian is a true dragon and has a natural sensitivity to water veins. Even without Ao Han, he could help Cangnian find land.
However, since they couldn't determine which area they were in, or which location on the map before the spiritual energy revival, they could only wander around like headless flies.
It was the changes in terrain brought about by the second spiritual energy revival tide that made Cangnian certain of the only information that Jinmen was located north of Quancheng.
As for which direction in the north it was, Cang Nian had no way of knowing.
Therefore, in Cang Nian's view, the current sailing speed is just right.
Because he couldn't determine the correct direction, Cangnian would go down and search for any traces of human cities he saw on the ground.
However, more than half a year has passed since the first spiritual energy revival tide.
Although the growth rate of evolved plants is not as fast as that of evolved animals, they have generally reached the second and third order levels.
Among evolved plants, trees are far larger than evolved animals of the same order of evolution, as can be seen from pine trees.
Therefore, under the cover of evolved plants that can easily reach hundreds of meters, unless a large number of survivors remain, there will be no trace of them in the air.
The perception array Noah built on the Ark was based on the Dragon Palace array, so it could only sense spiritual energy fluctuations.
Therefore, to see if there are any traces of human remains nearby, and thus determine our location and gradually correct our direction toward Tianjin, we still have to look with the naked eye.
Fortunately, the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom has greatly increased its strength after digesting the gains from the Battle of Songshu.
More than ten fifth-tier powerhouses!
Thousands of fourth-tier powerhouses!
At the third tier, even within the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, one is no longer considered a strong individual.
After all, the young tiger girl is already at the third tier. There are many third-tier evolved creatures in the wild, and quite a few fourth-tier evolved creatures as well. She can advance her tier by eating them casually.
That's why everyone could spread out and search without encountering any danger.
The real danger lies with the evolved creatures and savage beasts in the wild!
In addition, Noah also gave some less technologically advanced electronic drones to members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom who were out on reconnaissance missions, to help them cover a wider search area.
The good news is that traces of human cities were indeed discovered along the way.
The bad news is that these human cities have been abandoned for a long time.
Another piece of good news is that most of the city ruins found had no trace of supplies left, suggesting that the cities were not destroyed, but rather relocated voluntarily.
With the example of Jinan as an example, it's not hard to guess where these survivors who moved away went.
Without a doubt, they all migrated towards the capital.
It's just unknown how many of these teams will be lucky enough to arrive in the capital safely.
Fortunately, with the information gleaned from these human city ruins, Noah was able to adjust the Ark's course time and again, bringing it closer to Tianjin.
Of course, this is only a relatively ideal situation.
Because the benchmark for calibrating the direction is the original positional relationship between these urban ruins and Tianjin.
Whether it still maintains a similar position to Tianjin before the spiritual energy revival is unknown.
However, based on the location of the recent urban ruins, this place should not be far from Tianjin.
"Master! Enemy attack!"
Something is disrupting Repulsion Array Number 25!
Cangnian was idly leading his team to gather information and go hunting when he heard a voice in his mind!
