Ji Jue never imagined that the first ti he would ride on a Flying Airship in his life, it would be a chartered flight.
In the past, forget about chartering; the high cost of just one seat on a Flying Airship was sothing he couldn't even dream of. Not to ntion international flights, even the routes between major cities within the Federation could easily start at eight or nine thousand.
Let alone a scenario where the entire crew is prepared in advance, waiting for one person, ready to leave the mont they arrive.
Ji Jue didn't even go through a security check, directly following the guide to drive all the way to the landing pad, and then drove the car straight onto the Flying Airship. From arrival to take-off, the entire process was as smooth as hailing a cab, truly filled with a sense of novelty.
It's indeed the Tong family.
Well, though compared to my family's Sky Rail... there's still a slight gap.
Ji Jue held a teacup, gazing at the gradually receding ground outside the window.
In the night, the lights below were so dazzling.
An elegant female attendant, with a waft of fragrance, handed over a hot towel and a dinner nu: "Mr. Ji, considering the weather conditions, our journey is expected to take about nine hours. The bedroom has been tidied up, you can rest anyti. If you need anything, just ring the bell."
Compared to airplanes and helicopters, although the Flying Airship is sowhat slower, it is much more stable, and the interior space is ridiculously large. Even this small, three-story Flying Airship has plenty of usable space besides the cargo hold and cockpit.
Not just a bedroom, but a kitchen and a bathroom; Ji Jue even saw a gym.
It's practically no different from a vacation.
These days, the environnt outside cities is increasingly chaotic, and travel costs are gradually rising.
Although there are large cargo Flying Airships, most logistics rely on convoys and a few fixed railway routes between cities, yet they are still often affected by disasters.
With technological advancents, there was once talk of large aircraft replacing Flying Airships as the mainstream of aviation. Unfortunately, even now, it's difficult to avoid the effects of changing high-altitude environnts with just technology. Under turbulent airflow, extre temperature changes, and interference from nurous mutant bird flocks, it's hard to ensure long-term safe operation. Once they stall, it's a disaster.
To this day, they are still used only for dium to short-distance transport or military purposes. In contrast, Flying Airships, capable of staying aloft over long periods and responding flexibly to situations, are more loved and trusted.
After eating, Ji Jue read a few papers and then rested, had a peaceful night's sleep, not at all worried about any unexpected incidents on the way.
After all, before boarding the Flying Airship, he had already used a chanical Descent to draw blessings, making the entire journey incredibly stable, even the pilots marveled, having never experienced such smoothness.
Even if an insane act of launching anti-air missiles tried to send him sky-high, he'd still have his watch on hand, and just a thought of the "Return Command" could bring him back to the revival point.
After waking up, there were several more city location records in the Sky Rail System alerts, opening a string of teleportation points in the central Federation.
Convenient for Ji Jue to quietly make use of the competitors in the future...
As the altitude gradually decreased, beneath the dark clouds, the world was already completely different.
Endless flying snow fell, covering the entire world in a silvery white, like a silent storm. On the white snowfield, the pitch-black ridges and sharp ice layers coiled like a great serpent's spine over the ground.
"Mr. Ji, we have entered the Huang Province, and we are expected to arrive at Black River in about an hour."
The attendant reminded as she served breakfast: "The surface temperature outside the cabin has dropped below zero, please prepare for protection."
Ji Jue, acting like a country bumpkin, pulled out his phone to take photos.
Wow, snow!
So much snow!
When he was a child in Shuzhou, later moving to Hai Province, the forr's winter was damp and cold without a flake of snow, and the latter's winter... was a joke, where there was no need for down jackets, with everyone wearing flip-flops on the streets. How could one witness such an amazing spectacle?
Clumsily posing a V sign, he took a picture of the winding frozen river on the ground and posted it on social dia.
Instantly a long string of likes and comnts.
[Curse the Sneaky Dog]: Your life is like walking on thin ice, I guess you won't make it to the other side!
[Wen]: The snow is still so heavy, rember to bring back so liquor from Huang Province.
[Tong Shan] replies [Wen]: ??? We're in a eting, where are you?!
[Little Naughty Turtle Painting You]: Plant frenzy, LOLWWWWWW
[Bell]: Big bro let us down, second bro go for it!
[Feng]: Heh heh, soone's gonna get a beating, I won't say who.
[Zhang's Massage]: It's a great day for a marathon, young people need to exercise more.
[Yubo]: Huang Province, the long-haired cats are cute as heck!
...
Even though he was prepared, when Ji Jue stepped out of the cabin, he still felt caught off guard by the biting cold wind, even breathing was painful.
In the sub-zero bitter cold, the air was so dry it was devoid of moisture; a bit of moisture seed to freeze into tiny ice crystals, piercing into his nostrils and mouth, leaving a faint pain.
Ji Jue shivered slightly, looked up at the sky, and saw the floating snow drifting down from the outlines of Flying Airships, blending into the ground, turning into white snow.
Or perhaps, freezing into the muddy ground.
"Is it Mr. Ji's first ti in Huang Province?"
The welcoming middle-aged man asked warmly, "How about trying so local dishes later?"
"Sure, I'm fine with whatever you arrange."
