Chapter 363 Chapter 363
"Have you heard?" In a dim bar in Buenas, a man approached his friend mysteriously and asked in a low voice.His expression was very exaggerated, as if he wanted to reveal a shocking secret.

His friend held the wine glass, frowned and looked at him, not knowing what scary secret he was going to tell: "What did you hear?"

We are all old friends, and going out to drink is just bragging, talking about big mountains, who doesn't know who's ins and outs?

One of them is the foreman of the dock portage group. There are dozens of porters under him. They have a little bit of money in their hands. They are considered middle class. Although they live a comfortable life, they are not considered wealthy.

One is a small staff member of the urban construction department of Bunas, responsible for managing the transportation of urban construction materials.He has a little real power, but he doesn't have the courage to take kickbacks to eat inside and out. He is just a small employee.

Just these two people, what shocking secret can they know?Isn't it all gossip from hearsay?

However, drinking, state affairs, shocking and secret, must be an enduring topic. When eating and drinking, pointing out the country, for the two men, it must be a normal thing.

I only heard the leader of the porter on the pier seriously tell a truth that made people laugh: "Dragon Island... there are really dragons on it..."

Mr. Clerk usually goes home from work, two points and one line, of course it is impossible to believe this kind of thing: "How is this possible? Who did you listen to? How can this kind of thing be true."

Although there are still many islands in this world that have not been discovered, or have just been discovered, but if it is said that dragons still exist, no one must believe it.

Dragons have long been extinct, and this is something that everyone has already confirmed. There can be no living dragons on Dragon Island, otherwise everyone would have known about it long ago.

These days, if someone finds a living dragon and catches it and sells tickets, it is estimated that they can make a lot of money.This thing is not a secret, and there is absolutely no need to keep it secret.

Seeing that his old friend didn't believe it, the little leader on the pier immediately uttered the familiar prelude: "My brother's friend, the one you know, is a sailor... isn't he always there?" Are you running transportation with the Great Turtle sailboat?"

This kind of thing is naturally a friend of a friend, a friend of a friend's younger brother, a friend's second uncle's son-in-law, a friend's brother's brother-in-law's next-door neighbor...

Anyway, I have a friend, I have a relative, and I have a friend of a relative... This is the convention at the beginning of the story.

Probably, it’s like a disclaimer. Anyway, I didn’t say it myself. If you pursue it, you can find someone else. I just heard gossip.

Sure enough, Mr. Clerk knew this person, and he knew it very well: "That alcoholic? I know, he made up a story for you again?"

"Hmm... It's not a made-up story either. Didn't the Big Turtle transport the fabric to Long Island this time?" The person on the pier spoke with a vow, telling the story from the beginning.

"Then what? Did he see the dragon?" The staff member took a sip of the wine and immediately felt extremely refreshed. He let out a satisfied voice, and continued to ask questions following his friend's words.

Chatting, or talking about the mountains, the gossip and gossip at the dinner party, can only be talked about by one person and one person.

If you don't follow the funny words, the topic will end, the scene will be awkward, and the drinking party will have to break up unhappy, right?

Since they are old friends for many years, they must be able to chat together, so they are not afraid of being left alone.

The person on the pier nodded immediately, and replied affirmatively: "Well, he saw something flying in the sky on Long Island!"

"Is there something flying in the sky?" The clerk raised his eyebrows. He felt that the other party might have regarded something else as a so-called dragon.

These days, there are too many things that can fly in the sky, and there are not no large kites, and hot air balloons are nothing new in Burnas.

"Yes, something is flying in the sky!" The foreman on the dock nodded his head and took a sip of his wine.

The beer of Burners adopts newer brewing equipment, and after adding hops, it tastes better and is more popular.

The new, processed drink grew in popularity and soon caught on in bars.Cheaper beer has become the mainstay of mass consumption than expensive burners for 3 years or premium burners for 4 years.

After get off work, asking friends to go to the bar for a drink has become a pastime for many men, and it has also become a new source of income for Yinhu.

The clerk complained dismissively: "What's so strange about this, Bunas also has something flying in the sky, hot air balloons."

Obviously, he was a little exaggerated.

The sailors who can go to Dragon Island have naturally stayed in Burnas.Wouldn't it be foolish not to recognize the hot air balloons that you see almost every day?

The hot air balloon industry in Bunas is quite developed. It has reached the point where wealthy nobles would hire hot air balloons and hang advertisements in the sky when they get married.

Every day, for the opening of various shopping malls, company recruitment, and advertisements for new products, there will be hot air balloons with slogans hovering in the sky to display.

Sure enough, the person on the pier immediately explained to his friend's quarrel: "No, it's not the kind that stays still! It's in the sky, flying!"

"Well, the airship? Isn't it big?"

As an aircraft that is more advanced than hot air balloons and has not yet been fully popularized, airships are relatively rare.

However, the people who hang out in Bunas are all the favored children of the gods. Who has never seen anything in the world?
Now Bunas has opened an airship passenger and freight route to Ice Crystal City. The fare is extremely expensive, but many nobles flock to it.

It's like a tour, or simply an experience.You only need to spend dozens of gold coins to fly once, and the nobles still think it is worth the money.

What's more, it's so stable, and they can sit on the edge of the porthole and drink a small wine overlooking the earth, and the speed is not slow, which is very in line with their noble status, isn't it?
The man on the pier nodded, and then continued: "I asked him that too, and he said it wasn't an airship, but... how should I put it, it's much smaller than an airship, and it's much faster... He said, huh Fly far away!"

With more and more planes, gliders, and original passenger planes on Long Island, it is almost impossible to keep it completely secret and not be seen by others.

Some airports are built next to Dragon City. When planes take off and land, they will naturally be seen by some residents of Dragon City.

The airport built in the middle of the island has more and more planes—dozens of camel fighter jets alone have been manufactured.

This thing is not like a battleship, it takes a year or even a few years to build one.Its structure is very simple, and its volume is also small. If mass production is really crazy, dozens of them can be produced in a day.

What really restricts the number of Datang Group's aircraft is actually too few pilots.It is too difficult to cultivate this profession, and it depends entirely on the accumulation of time.

Training pilots from scratch is definitely a very troublesome thing. If you want them to fly alone, at least dozens of hours of training flight time will be piled up.

The first batch of pilots could only cross the river by feeling the stones by themselves, and many daring flying movements had to be found out through experiments.

If Tang Mo hadn't provided the matching textbooks to personally explain the flight theory to these pilots, the speed of Datang Group's pilot training might have been much slower.

But despite this, Datang Group now has hundreds of reserve talents who can fly airplanes or fly glider.

In order to meet the flying needs of these people, the Datang Group will arrange a sufficient amount of flight training every day - it is inevitable that some people will fly over the specified border and let people in Weigang or Longcheng see it.

Moreover, more and more people see it.

Especially the locals of Long Island, they have seen such flying things soaring far away in the sky more than once.

It's just that what they saw was not necessarily a specific type of aircraft, but many strange things.

Therefore, almost everyone who spread the gossip said something different.Some people said that the flying monsters they saw were small, while others described them as very large.

Because what some people see is just a small training glider, while others may see a large biplane with three engines.

The Datang Group only has three types of glider for training. If two-seat trainers and real fighter jets are included, there are even more types of aircraft.

While rumors about the dragon were spreading, some well-informed people also heard that in a secret factory on Long Island, the Datang Group was building many super-large airships.

I heard that these airships are larger than cargo airships, equipped with more engines, and can be loaded with weapons, flying to attack the enemy...

Of course, this kind of news is only circulated among some high-level people, and ordinary people can't hear it.At most, they could chat for a few words, talking about some kind of inert gas produced by their factory, which was sent to the secret base in the middle of Long Island.

"How much did the drunkard drink again..." The staff member, who thought he was well-informed, raised his eyebrows, his expression was in place.

He felt that this kind of thing was simply nonsense.Except for hot air balloons and airships, only birds can fly in the sky!
"You don't believe it?" The leader of the porter on the pier didn't dare to say that what he heard must be true, so he asked a little guilty.

The clerk slapped the table in front of him vigorously with the strength of alcohol, and shouted arrogantly: "How can I believe... If what he said is true, I will eat this table!"
