Chapter 1714: Flaws in the Wind

However, Meng Chao was sure that the workers were equipped with life detection systems and surveillance equipment.
No matter what kind of trick he tried to play on the workers, he would be discovered by the Golden Roc’s surveillance center.
“D*mn it. The defense of this air fortress is almost flawless, at least when it’s sitting still.
“I have to make it move. Any flaw will be exposed during movement.”
Meng Chao pondered for a moment. He activated his senses and monitored the air around him carefully.
The magnetic field of the planet in the Other World was much stronger than that of Earth.
In addition to the crystal veins hidden underground, mysterious reactions happened all the time, ejecting high-temperature, high-pressure, and extremely chaotic spirit energy into the ground.
As a result, climate change in the Other World was much more intense than on Earth.
Even today, it was considered a sunny day by the Other World’s standards.
Hundreds of meters above the ground, the sound of the wind could still be heard, and the wind blades brushed past Meng Chao’s eyebrows.
The Golden Roc was not absolutely still.
If all its crystal engines were turned off and it was floating like a hot air balloon, the Golden Roc would only be swept away by the strong wind and drift away in the sky.
To maintain a fixed coordinate, the Golden Roc’s crystal engines had been turned on through precise calculation. That drove its huge propellers to rotate slowly, forming an opposite driving force to the current wind direction and speed. Only then could a dynamic balance be maintained.
A lot of sensors had been installed on the surface of the Golden Roc’s airbag.
Meanwhile, plenty of weather detection equipment had been installed on the drones surrounding the Golden Roc, as well as the weather balloons, which could predict the wind direction, wind speed, humidity, and the possibility of extreme weather in advance.
Therefore, the crystal engines’ power output on the Golden Roc could be slightly adjusted to resist the influence of extreme weather.
It seemed to be a pretty good solution.
The only problem was that the Golden Roc was not finished.
At least 30% of the crystal engines and giant propellers were still in the debugging stage, and they could not be turned on at full power.
Usually, that would not be a big problem.
Since the monster civilization had surrendered, the space around Dragon City and the climate had also become stable. It had been a long time since a large-scale, high-intensity storm had broken out.
The Golden Roc, which was in a moored state, could maintain its balance by relying on 50% of its crystal engines and propellers.
However, if a Deity Realm expert used his own vitality magnetic field and the magnetic field of the planet under his feet to perform high-frequency and high-speed cutting, it could trigger a chain reaction…
Deep light flickered quickly in Meng Chao’s eyes.
He caught the originally invisible wind in the sky like they were ripples on the surface of the water.
He also clearly saw how each of the crystal engines and propellers resisted the strong wind.
Next, he just needed to increase the wind speed slightly and change the angle of a few crystal engines and propellers…
Meng Chao closed his eyes, and spirit energy burst out from the depths of his cells.
They turned into thousands of tentacles that were not visible to the naked eye, and they quickly disappeared into thin air high up in the sky.
The wind, which had been calm before, yawned slowly like a beast that had just woken up.
At first, nobody noticed that something was wrong.
However, some people felt that the part of their skin exposed to the air between the goggles and the oxygen mask was numb and cold.
Soon, the weather balloons and the reconnaissance drones in the outermost perimeter began to flash and send the “wind increase” message to the Golden Roc’s surveillance center.
Meng Chao did not intend to create a storm.
He merely created a temporary disturbance in the surrounding airspace. In half a minute to one minute, he increased the wind by twenty to thirty percent. He disturbed the wind’s direction a little, which created some turbulence in the air.
When working at high altitudes, changes in the wind force and wind direction were most common. No one realized that it was actually the work of a Deity Realm expert.
Many drones fell into the turbulence in the air and immediately swayed around like headless flies.
The originally seamless surveillance network was instantly torn open by an invisible force.
Guided by some mysterious force, a few of the drones actually flew toward a few workers who were working high up in the sky.
To ensure that they were suitable for military use, these drones were built relatively large and sturdy, with a diameter of more than one meter.
It was easy to give someone a big scare when they charged over unsteadily.
The workers became flustered and triggered a series of chain reactions, causing all the nearby eyes and surveillance equipment to focus on them.
Meng Chao took the opportunity to soar into the air and rushed out like an arrow released from a bow.
He stepped on the invisible steps hundreds of meters high in the air and stuck close to the surface of the airbags like a giant gecko. He moved and danced in the inescapable net formed by hundreds of drones.
There were a few times when he was only a hair’s breadth away from being discovered by the rotating cameras on the drones. It was an extremely thrilling scene.
Even so, it did not matter how dangerous the scene was. It had already been played out dozens of times in Meng Chao’s mind before it actually happened.
Wind speed, wind direction, humidity, drones, propellers, crystal engines…
Turbulence in the air, the workers working at high altitudes, and even the elasticity of the airbags…
All the factors were in his calculations. They were all his “weapons”!
Before they noticed him, the few drones closest to him would often get sucked into the turbulent air. They would rise and fall rapidly, almost losing control.
By the time they finally broke free from the turbulence, Meng Chao would have used the elasticity of the airbag to jump from one airbag to another. Then, with the help of the airbag’s huge volume, he would hide in a blind spot that no drone could monitor.
No one noticed his presence.
The level of wind change was not enough to stop the Golden Roc’s operation.
The Golden Roc had been connected to the transport airship.
Since the air corridor wrapped in a flexible transparent shell was connected, the boxes of special goods on the transport airship were also transported to the Golden Roc’s interior under the Ghost Assassins’ watchful eye.
Meng Chao locked onto one of the metal boxes from a distance.
He could vaguely sense Lu Siya’s unique aura and the Blue Origin Crystal.
The metal box was gradually moving through the air corridor toward the Golden Roc’s core.
The Golden Roc’s core area was an air maze made of giant pods and airbags.
Meng Chao could roughly guess which pod Lu Siya would be sent to.
“Of course, it will be the largest one. It will carry the most rune machines and crystal equipment. On top of that, it will be the place where the most extraordinary humans will be stationed to defend it.”
