Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1390 Navigating for You
When Captain Lin went to the cabin to bring snacks to Shangluo, the noble Tianyi in the cockpit navigated the entire plane to a strange place——

This is the process of phlogiston submergence, which is exactly the same as the performance of the Athenian Navy's submarines.

"What the hell?" Shangluo asked while standing in front of the control panel, and Tianyi Guiren in the control panel was also confused.

[They said they didn't know why. This is the correct route.]

"Is it true that the map data is wrong? By the way, isn't this for star navigation?"

At present, the autopilot system used by Lan Fang uses the nodes of the spiritual network for navigation, that is, the location of Jianmu. As the spiritual energy gradually descends, the area covered by Jianmu is becoming wider and wider.

A huge and sophisticated navigation network has been slowly rolled out, gradually covering the entire world under its control. Jianmu's spiritual network nodes are distributed in every corner like stars, sensing each other through the flow of qi and providing information to the units in the nodes.

This allows Lanfang's autopilot system to fly efficiently in the capital and surrounding areas. For example, flights between Yingtian and Seoul, Edo and Naha can all be turned on autopilot. Flights within the capital are even more efficient.

As for the routes from Yingtian to Pontianak, Singapore and Sungai Sentral, Java, they were also developed with emphasis by Lan Fang.

The most important and busiest of them are these three, because they are the political centers of Lan Fang. Among them, Pontianak on Borneo is the birthplace of Lan Fang, and Xingzhou was once the territory of Lan Fang's biggest rival. After being annexed, it became the largest city of Lan Fang.

Shunta is the root of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, with the largest number of native Chinese living there. This is because Shunta was "the country established by Lu Zili, the orphan of Lu Xiufu who carried the Song emperor to the sea, in Southeast Asia to restore the Song Dynasty". During the Yongle period, the Shunta Kingdom on Java Island once paid tribute to Yingtian as a Southeast Asian Chinese country and was received.

Although the statement that "Lu Zili took the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty to exile to Java Island to establish a country" is very suspicious, it is not without reason. After all, after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for the Chinese exiled to Southeast Asia to gather in the name of restoring the Song Dynasty.

After all, if no one makes up some stories, no one would be willing to travel across the ocean to those "smoky and polluted places".

However, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it adopted the slogan "The mountains and rivers are covered with Chinese sun, and the sun and moon will open the sky of the Song Dynasty again". These Chinese settlements in Southeast Asia, which used the excuse of restoring the Song Dynasty, no longer needed to raise such a banner. They experienced a period of prosperity as Zheng He's voyages to the West began.

However, when they appeared in history books again, it was already the time of "revival". [Lan Fang] appeared on the stage of history.

Nanyang, as the successful fief of the Wang family of Yanping County, has achieved great development since then. From Pontianak in Borneo, Lan Fang gradually became a huge political and economic entity dominating Nanyang.

Although Nanyang has never been prosperous, Lan Fang still used its huge economic strength to build a large navy and air force that could destroy any foreign country. Lan Fang also made many achievements in civil aviation and alchemy. The Ninghe No. 2 in front of us is the crystallization of Lan Fang's technology.

"So, this is the result of your new technology? You mixed some Roman stuff into it?"

"That's not the case." Captain Lin shook his head. "I was also shocked. The onboard systems were indeed functioning normally, but they were directed in a strange direction."

"What was the route you set before?"

“Fly to Shunta to refuel, and then fly straight to Athens.”

"I remember that the Ninghe No. 1 could fly directly to Rome. Why does it apparently have to stop in the middle?"

"Because your request was so sudden, we added a flight temporarily and didn't have time to refuel in Yingtian. Although we can be deployed anywhere, we haven't had time to deploy in Yingtian yet. So we have to fly back to refuel before we can fly all the way there. According to the scheduled route, we should not be in Wanta yet, but only halfway."

But halfway through, they lost their way.

This is not getting lost, but because the onboard equipment believes that this is the correct path, which is the result of star navigation.

【All. Is it possible that there is nothing wrong with your navigation itself, but the stars you use for navigation? It's like a moth that relies on moonlight for navigation and suddenly flies towards the light.】

"Then, this means that we have been disturbed. The most important thing now should be to protect Victoria's safety. Because everyone else can protect themselves."

【Second, let us say the same thing as Phaethon.】

Before he finished speaking, the environment around them suddenly became brighter, and the normal and ordinary world reappeared in front of him. There was a blue sky above his head and a blue sea below him. This was the sea and sky commonly seen in the South Seas.

Java Island has appeared on the horizon, a huge city surrounded by greenery. The volcanic ash agriculture around the city has promoted the cultivation of cash crops and staple food. This city provides food for the entire Southeast Asia, and can even export food and fruits back.

"We're here?" Captain Lin looked at the sun. "It's not even noon yet??? How come we're here more than an hour earlier than scheduled?"

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally thought that the unexpected submersible flight might put everyone on the plane through an adventure, but they had not expected that they would be taken directly to the destination, saving them the time of running away.

"Oh, this." Captain Lin was stunned for a moment. "By this calculation, we will have to land when the meal is served. Then my meal will be in vain."

“Is this about the food?”

"I'd like to sit in the cabin and eat slowly. Oh, I have to be busy again." He put the plate down and sat back in the driver's seat. Sure enough, dozens of rockets immediately took off from the ground in the distance. They were rocket interceptors used by the Lan Fang Air Force for air defense. These rocket interceptors did not rely on runways, but took off directly from the launch pad using rails.

The lightweight fighter planes had no extra weight except for the air-launched missiles, and even the landing gear was a skid. These planes did not have the flying ability that a plane should have, and they looked more like some kind of ancient weapon called "Fire Dragon Out of Water" -

In a naval battle, the first stage rocket would lift the launch tube into the air, and then the second stage rocket would ignite again to spray rockets to kill the enemy. This naval battle game shows the wild ideas of firearms design at that time, but people today also have big imaginations.

This world has never experienced a world war, so Shangluo can always see a variety of strange weapons here. These weapons can give him a little shock in their respective fields, just like the rocket interceptors that are attacking like locusts now.

The so-called rocket interceptor is actually a MIRVed air defense missile. Because at present, both Kinai and Lan Fang have not done enough research on automation equipment to produce truly autonomous air defense missiles. The operation of these air defense weapons is actually all done by the pilot.

This does bring an advantage that ordinary missiles do not have - this thing can still fly back halfway. The pilot on it can visually determine whether the target really needs to be intercepted, so Lan Fang's air defense system will launch all missiles as soon as it detects an invasion, and there is no need to worry about it after launching, because the pilot on it will determine the target by himself.

Amid the sirens of infrared alarms, Captain Lin successfully communicated with the anti-aircraft fleet, and the landing process began. The moment they landed, Zheng Shijie called non-stop:

"What happened?" Zheng Shijie asked in surprise. "We clearly found that your plane disappeared from the radar array for about ten seconds, and then suddenly arrived in the airspace of Shunta City. We just thought it was a surprise attack by foreign enemies."

If there were no pilots behind these anti-aircraft missiles, Zheng Shijie would have suffered a great loss today. Because the cost of using these anti-aircraft rockets is quite high, they will use wires to remotely control the missiles on board to intercept the target after approaching the target. The rocket engine itself has a limited lifespan, and if the missiles are fired again, it will be a big loss this time.

"There were some twists and turns." Shangluo replied, "Just now, we seemed to have accidentally achieved an effect similar to warping. We still don't know how this mechanism is achieved. But judging from the results, the efficiency is quite high."

"But it seems dangerous. Anyway, I will investigate first. After all, this happened on my territory."

The incident took place on the sea in Nanyang, which is under the jurisdiction of Lan Fang. Zheng Shijie is the feudal lord here, and he is responsible for everything that happened here.

If any disaster broke out here, he would be blamed. There were many people in the court who wanted to reduce the power of the vassal states, and many people were watching their every move.

Compared with other princes, Zheng Shijie is particularly dangerous because he is the strongest and most active among them. Because he controls huge resources, his mobility is much higher than that of other princes and vassal towns. If all the princes and vassal towns are ranked -

The Marquis of Pingxi and the Marquis of Jingnan were far less powerful than him as the Marquis of Yanping. Even compared with the vassal states that were significantly stronger than the vassal states, Lan Fang could still resist the army controlled by the Anxi Protectorate to some extent. It was just that the two sides were too far apart and never met. But in Annan and other places around Annan, Lan Fang's rule could already affect the actual life of the local military towns.

In this case, he would undoubtedly become a thorn in the eyes of the entire court. In particular, he and Zhu Xianxun had a personal friendship, which was known to everyone. Every time he went to Zhu Xianxun, he would cause unnecessary disputes.

This is why Zheng Shijie became more and more low-key while working with Shangluo to develop the aerospace industry. Because the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, he is already very conspicuous, and if he takes two more steps, he may end up in tragedy.

What he least wanted now was that Lan Fang would be in the news again. He planned to work hard to develop a mature system for traveling back and forth between heaven and earth, and then switch from the imperial court to the heavenly court, so that he could recreate the great achievements of the first generation of the Prince of Yanping in expanding the territory and expelling the barbarians. As the Marquis of Yanping, he might be able to become the Prince of Yanping again.

"So. Can you describe the scene in detail?" He needed Shangluo's help more than ever.

"Wait a minute, Apollonia has a screen recording, a holographic image. I've sent it to you."

"Thank you." Zheng Shijie behind the screen received the file sent by Shangluo.

The first scene stunned him: "You are so popular, it's really enviable. Everyone is looking at you with a look of 'permission'."

【ha? 】

"??"

"Well, thank you very much anyway. To protect your privacy, I will record it again with simple visual images for the investigators to see. I have prepared lunch, so please have a quick meal while you refuel."

Vanta Fourth Airport, a dual-use port for military and civilian use. Usually only intercontinental flights and Lan Fang's dual-use fleet of military and civilian aircraft dock here. Vanta City extends from the sea to the jungle in the distance.

If the surrounding satellite cities are included, Ban Ta is the largest city in the entire Southeast Asia. However, Lan Fang generally does not include the indigenous population in the statistics, so Ban Ta is half a level lower than Pontianak and Sin Chew. The city appearance here is more "stacked" and busier than other places.

However, like other places in Lan Fang, this place provides an atmosphere of "being isolated from the surrounding wilderness". For example, the windows of this lounge are significantly higher than the buildings surrounding the airport, and the thick glass windows completely isolate the fragrant indoor air from the outside.

In particular, Lan Fang actually only used various "Southeast Asian style" atmospheres in the Kinmen area. In Java, the most Southeast Asian island, the incense here is pure sandalwood scent, and there is a faint clean smell like disinfectant, which is enough to create a gap in atmosphere with the surrounding indigenous settlements.

They don't even offer Nanyang cuisine. Shangluo and the others had Yangzhou fried rice for lunch, which was the authentic flavor of Kinai.

"I don't know why the atmosphere here is so tense." Phaethon said in a deep voice.

"Because Guoxing's panic is real. Forget it, it's none of our business anyway, let's just eat and do our business."

"Yeah," Zhu Ling also nodded, "Now I understand why you, Shangluo, like to eat that steamed bread. Now I can taste some of the flavors in the food. I always feel that Guoxing is unlucky this time."

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Shangluo asked, "Aren't we okay?"

"Nothing that concerns you is a small matter. If Qilinzi gets into trouble in Nanyang, he will no longer be the Marquis of Yanping. Well, if you sympathize with him, write a few good words for them in the action report afterwards."

"Of course, I don't eat and drink for free. If someone invites me to dinner, I will definitely not treat him badly."
