Chapter 408 Takeoff
Chapter 408 Takeoff
"The countdown to launch begins."
A synthetic voice different from the common language sounded around the Tower of Babel.
For some reason, the demons and the Sauron dragons felt inexplicably frightened when they heard this voice. Even the people in the high tower felt a little frightened, because this voice seemed to have no emotions at all, just like a real god, who didn't care about the fate of mortals at all.
Although Lilith felt that he was quite friendly, she was a little worried as she looked at her brother who had already walked into the car, sat in his seat, and quietly waited for the car door to close.
"All interfaces are separated and the cargo hold doors are closed."
The various passages connected to the car began to close. Of course, under Anastasia's command, people had already evacuated from the various interconnected passages. They all watched through the screen quietly at the car placed on the launch pad surrounded by eight high towers.
The merciless announcement sounded on time: "Five. Four. Three. Two. One."
Lind had never thought that he would be able to ride in a space elevator, let alone in another world. Although he had prepared himself mentally over and over again, he still couldn't help being very nervous at this moment. It had nothing to do with human spirit, but was simply awe of this crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors.
"emission."
As the cold broadcast voice sounded, the eight tall towers began to flash blue flames at the same time. Rather than being called flames, it was more like some kind of energy that was almost condensed into substance. In an instant, the blue energy around the car also began to spew out, catapulting the car directly into the sky.
Outside the Tower of Babel, the Sauron dragons that had finally broken through the elves' blockade finally arrived around the tower. Seeing the tower flashing with blue light, the Sauron dragons shouted loudly: "Good opportunity! Take advantage of now to completely capture this tower!"
Just as the dragons were about to launch an attack on the "running" tower, they saw the spewing blue flames turn into huge waves, sweeping away everything around the tower.
Then, a black and white "square" was launched out from the middle of the eight towers at a speed that even the dragon could not understand. After passing through the rings, the speed of the square became even faster and more exaggerated.
Why did Sauron's dragons join the war in the first place? Why do they hate the tower so much? Why do they still want to tear down the tower even after a long time that is extremely long for a dragon?
Because these dragons do not allow anything in this world that can exceed their power to exist.
In fact, this has nothing to do with who is the actual ruler of this continent. The dragons don’t even care who is in charge of this continent. However, in the cognition of these proud dragons, dragons should be the most powerful and perfect creatures, and the only overlord of the sky.
The existence of the tower seems to demonstrate that humans and elves can surpass dragons by their own strength, which is something the dragons cannot allow at all.
It was this twisted mentality that supported this group of dragons to return to this continent again.
But the scene before them shattered the arrogance of these Sauron dragons, because the black and white squares quickly exceeded the maximum height that the dragons could reach, and even the dragons could hardly see the black and white squares.
Among the Sauron dragons, the old dragon flapped its wings continuously, trying to catch up with the black and white squares. He completely ignored the increasingly scarce and chaotic magic power in the sky and continued to flap his wings.
"Elder! You can't fly any higher! If you fly any higher, you will reach a realm that even dragons cannot reach!"
Among the group of Sauron dragons, a young dragon flew forward and tried to stop the old dragon, but the old dragon turned back angrily and breathed a breath of dragon at the young dragon.
"No! No way! It has to be higher! If humans can do it, there's no reason why dragons can't do it!"
This old dragon was like Icarus in Greek mythology, constantly flapping its wings, constantly trying to fly higher. It even broke through the black fog and saw the sun that was obscured by the black fog.
This is a height that no dragon has ever reached, and it even completely exceeds the maximum height of dragons that Deborah and Margaret had originally calculated. At this height, the dragon can even see the core of the black fog, which theoretically can only be attacked from the sky.
But it was not enough, because the black and white squares continued to rise at a terrifying speed. It was not enough. The dragon continued to flap its wings, but found that not only could it not continue to rise, but its altitude was rapidly decreasing.
The surrounding environment can no longer be said to be magically disordered, it can even be said that there is basically no magic. Dragons do not fly by wings, but by relying on the powerful use of the high-altitude magical environment. Flying is essentially a kind of magic that belongs only to dragons. To be able to fly here, this old dragon is already very powerful.
The dragon's claws stretched out helplessly towards the car that seemed to be entering the boundless sky, and then like Ikaros, it began to fall downwards under the sun.
......
Unlike in his dreams, Lind actually felt the strong pressure. Although he had taken a lot of protective measures and put on a pressure suit that was made with the hard work of everyone in this era, at this moment, Lind still felt suffocated.
Fortunately, this space elevator seems to be more exaggerated than the one in the movie, or the material of the cabin that Lind took is more advanced. Although Lind felt very uncomfortable, he did not faint directly.
The outer shell around the car, which was made by the continent's top workers, began to fall off due to the vibration, but fortunately everything went as planned and no accidents occurred.
Lind tried hard to open his eyes and looked beyond the small piece of glass in the car.
Are there really only two continents in this world? What is outside the Sea of Mist? Taking this opportunity, Lind felt that he should at least take a good look at this world.
But there's nothing outside the window...
Or rather, it was not that there was nothing, but rather an unimaginable wall of fog that blocked the entire sea of fog. Even though Lind was now in a space elevator that was 90,000 kilometers high, even though Lind was now in what was probably the tallest building in human history, he could only see the thin fog blocking his sight. It seemed as if this world was divided by something.
At this moment, Lind suddenly saw the black cables outside the window.
Isn't that right? Didn't 550C say that this space elevator is connected to each other purely by propulsion?
Soon, Lind felt a sudden vibration in the car, which was not violent. The car was connected to the cables. Then, Lind could even feel the pressure suddenly decrease, and the whole ascent process became even smoother. Lind carefully observed the cables outside the window. They were not originally designed like this, but seemed to have broken suddenly.
