NOVPUBChapter 353 -349 First Flight of the Floating Airship (Large Chapter)
Territory, research institute.
Tang Yu held a vial of light red potion that bubbled like soda in his hand.
“A potion that can rapidly heal injuries has finally been made… It looks pretty tasty.”
He examined it for half a second, brought it to his lips, and gulped down the twenty-milliliter potion in one go:
“It’s a bit like pomegranate, quite delicious…”
“Wait, did I forget to experiment on a mouse first??!”
Tang Yu’s expression stiffened, looking at the empty vial in his hand and then at the cage beside him, where a fluffy, plump mutated mouse with an innocent face was curled up in the corner.
He could only comfort himself, “Forget it, the ingredients for the recovery potion are all tonics, they won’t kill a person, besides, I have already passed the Body-shaping stage, my internal organs have been tempered, generally… possibly… it probably won’t kill me.”
Fortunately, the potion was very successful in its production and had no side effects.
Concentrating his senses on the changes within his body, he felt a gentle energy rapidly spread, soaking into every organ and cell.
Zi—
Tang Yu brought his four fingers together on his right hand, released Source Power on them, which clung to them and radiated faint light, and in an instant, he slashed a ten-centimeter-long wound on his left arm.
“Damn, that was too hard, it hurts a lot!”
At that moment, the gentle energy within him quickly converged towards the wound, and in just a few seconds, the wound had already healed, the scar also quickly fell off.
Tang Yu sensed that only about one-fifth of the potion’s energy had been used.
“For people below the Sixth Layer of Awakening, one vial of potion is enough to heal serious injuries; even for High Tier Awakeners, if one vial isn’t enough, two or three will still be effective.”
Previous research on healing potions either had insufficient healing effects or were too slow to take effect.
Glancing at the remaining vials of finished potions on the pharmaceutical counter, Tang Yu pondered:
“Let’s call it Recovery Potion Type 1.”
He could already imagine the potion’s hot-selling scenario; even adventure groups with Healing Series Ability Users wouldn’t skimp on buying a few vials of life-saving potion with Source Crystals.
After all, the Healing Series varied greatly, with some adept at treating external injuries by using the healer’s own regenerative abilities, treating the injured.
Another kind, imbued with the gift of vitality, grants the injured a surge of life energy, allowing for rapid self-healing.
Yet another type, the Purification kind, could remove states of external energy invasions such as burns, freezing, etc., restoring the injured back to their original state.
These three types of Healing Series Ability Users are quite common. After receiving her inheritance, Winnie primarily treated the first type of injuries, but she also knew quite a few Purification spells.
“However, Recovery Potion Type 1 not only heals injuries but also restores stamina and relieves fatigue; it’s quite comprehensive.”
“If there is a downside, it’s that liquid potions aren’t very convenient to carry around. If they could be made in pill form, they’d be easier to take during battle.”
Drip drip—
The simple communicator placed at the edge of the table vibrated, causing ripples in the light red liquid potion and bubbles to pop.
Tang Yu picked it up and saw:
“Lord, the Floating Airship has been assembled and is ready for a trial flight.” — Kevin Sandrich de Patricia Traviskin
Tang Yu: “…”
To think that he didn’t use the more convenient and fast Contract communication, he thought it was someone else.
Had Kevin indeed been confounded by his bothersome beard?
…
On his way, Tang Yu met up with Chen Haiping, and the two headed to the equipment area.
As a core figure of the Sanctuary, although Chen Haiping knew of the existence of the Floating Airship, he didn’t have much understanding of it. Hearing about the imminent test flight, his eyes showed deep surprise.
“Director, can the Floating Airship project really succeed? I heard that the airship can carry three hundred passengers?”
“Three hundred people; that’s just the rated number of passengers. In reality, a significant portion of the airship’s design is dedicated to cargo space, making its cargo capacity extremely high.”
“But… the sky is the territory of Flying Demonized Beasts. Armed helicopters only dare to fly at low altitudes, and fighter jets generally don’t dare to fly too far from the Sanctuary… A Floating Airship, that target is much bigger than a fighter jet. I’ve also heard people from Lindong say that Beiting tried to use airships to cross regions, but they failed.”
Ever since the sky changed again, not even fighter jets were seen, probably because they hadn’t been repaired yet; the sky was no place for humans to stand.
Flying Demonized Beasts, without being exterminated, kept increasing in numbers, until they gathered into a Demon Tide and were eradicated by mankind’s anti-air weaponry.
So Chen Haiping’s concern was understandable.
But it was mostly due to insufficient understanding of the Floating Airship.
Tang Yu laughed, “Floating Airships are different from airships. Airships rely on gasbags, filling them with low-density gases to gain buoyancy and ascend. The presence of the gasbag is indeed a large target, easily damaged by Flying Demonized Beasts.
However, Floating Airships rely on a massive Floating Array engraved on their bottoms for levitation and faster travel. They have formidable offensive and defensive capabilities, capable of dealing with most threats from Flying Demonized Beasts.
You’ll understand when you see the Floating Airship’s maiden flight soon.”
Tang Yu was also excited.
The sale of rune equipment accounted for a significant part of the Territory’s income. However, due to the limitations of the apocalyptic environment, it was difficult to sell in various places. Building a Transmission Array relied on establishing Sub-territories, but the number of Sub-territories that could be developed was limited, and the technology for constructing arrays was too advanced, impossible to be built alone.
