Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 756: Entering the Atmosphere

The operation of the machine soul is very precise and fast, but it is hard to say how intelligent it is.

For example, if you let two machine spirits fight each other, they will most likely just stand there stupidly and fight each other without any movement at all, which fully illustrates what artificial stupidity is.

So when Li Chengxi spoke, they were all very surprised. They had never seen such a highly intelligent machine soul.

Li Chengxi was too lazy to explain that he was not a machine soul. Apart from the simple and rough sentence "I am God", he also explained that he was actually in another world, observing you through a small window, and that the Manta was not his real body.

But it was obvious that it would be easier to make them believe that Li Chengxi was a god than to make them believe this explanation, so they completely regarded Li Chengxi's words as nonsense.

The only one who was willing to believe was Fang Lanyin, but she believed because she didn't care. It didn't matter what Li Chengxi's true form was. Fang Lanyin just wanted to see how far she could go.

So Li Chengxi was too lazy to explain. He just wanted to play a space war and nothing else mattered.

Since gravity navigation is very time-consuming, two days passed after escaping from the guest star city, and after passing through several space stations for supplies, we finally arrived at the destination.

As the white light of the transition spread before his eyes, a gray-blue planet appeared before his eyes.

This time it is an Earth-like planet. This galaxy is also similar to the solar system. If you count them, you can find eight planets, but their sizes and colors are slightly different.

This terrestrial planet in front of us is a little different from the Earth. More than 90% of its total area is sea water, and almost the entire world is shrouded in a powerful storm that will not disperse for thousands of years. Even in low-Earth orbit, you can see huge hurricane eyes one after another below, and even huge discharges that are enough to extend into the void, which is spectacular.

However, this place is not completely shrouded in storms. In addition to the two ice caps, slightly north of the equator, the clouds suddenly split open, revealing a piece of land that is completely unaffected by any storms.

The area may be smaller than Australia, but the degree of urbanization is very high. Looking from low-Earth orbit, you can see a vague road network spreading along the mountains and rivers.

This is where Alyssa wants to find a boat, called the Kingdom of Storms.

——It’s really a very appropriate name.

As we continued to approach, facing the light of the stars, we could see a space station hovering in orbit, with a large number of ships coming in and out.

Alyssa should have been here as well and told Li Chengxi which airlock to enter from.

However, the Manta did not stay in the space station for too long and soon came out of the airlock on the other side because the destination was the planet below, not this space station.

When you come out, you will see a large "board" installed on the bottom of the Manta, which looks like a surfboard at first glance.

This thing is useful, very useful.

"Follow the route sent by the tower. Don't act recklessly. The Storm Kingdom has very strict management of foreign ships. Don't attract their attention, otherwise you will be shot down."

Alyssa quickly warned Li Chengxi. She originally wanted to control the Manta Ray herself, but Li Chengxi happened to be "online" at this time.

Clear route guidance also appeared on Li Chengxi's screen, which was a bit like an enhanced driving system. All he had to do was fly along the given route.

The Manta Ray was moving along the route, getting closer and closer to the planet below. Soon, a violent orange-red light was seen below the Manta Ray, and it officially entered the atmosphere.

The extra board is a disposable heat shield prepared for entering the atmosphere. Without it, the Manta cannot break in alone.

One of the functions of the shuttle is to transport cargo between planets and starships, so it can go directly down with a little modification, and it also has the ability to fly in the atmosphere, which is something that space fighters do not have. The violent air friction makes people feel a little scared, and they always doubt whether this heat shield can withstand it. The speed on the instrument is also rapidly reduced under the effect of the air brake. Everyone in the cabin holds on to the seat belt tightly, and the fuselage of the Manta Ray also emits disturbing violent vibrations.

Although all shuttles have the ability to enter the atmosphere, the Manta is a thousand-year-old antique after all, so people are still not very reassured.

Fortunately, the vibration did not last too long. As the speed decreased, the violent air friction gradually eased, and the violent red light under the heat shield also disappeared.

At this point, Li Chengxi threw away the disposable heat shield, and the variable wing switched to atmospheric flight mode under the action of the bearings.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the tower of Storm Kingdom sent another communication, asking the Manta to fly according to the designated route, and they would be responsible for guiding the Manta to land at the airport.

This certainly doesn't allow you to fly around freely in the atmosphere; while the sky may seem empty at first glance, it is actually very busy, and flying around randomly can easily lead to collisions with other shuttles or aircraft.

Therefore, there are detailed instructions on how to fly, how high to fly, how fast to fly, where to land, etc. You have to follow their instructions when you are in someone else's territory.

This is all thanks to Alyssa's identity as a recycler, and her connections with the officials of the Storm Kingdom. Normally, people wouldn't let you come down directly in a shuttle.

He understood the reason, but Li Chengxi felt a little unhappy. He felt that he was not driving a spaceship, but more like a civilian airliner...

Fortunately, the location where the shuttle entered the atmosphere was not too far from the destination. Unlike a real civil aviation trip abroad, it would take several hours. In less than thirty minutes, Li Chengxi landed at the local airport under the guidance of the tower.

As the Manta's hatch opened, the first thing everyone felt was a wave of heat hitting their faces.

This land called the Kingdom of Storms is located slightly north of the equator. The temperature is quite high, so everyone took off their heavy pressure suits and got off the boat in their lightest clothes.

Alyssa called for refueling service, then paid a parking fee, and everyone left the airport and got on the tram.

It was not until this moment that Fang Lanyin remembered to ask:
"Boss, who should we look for? Another old subordinate?"

"He's a friend of my grandfather. He used to be the director of the Ship Design Bureau in the Storm Kingdom. Although he's retired now, he has a lot of connections. I hope I can get a ship through him."

Carlos didn't know this person, because Alyssa had never come to Storm Kingdom in the few years after Carlos joined the starfleet, so it was unlikely that Carlos would set an ambush here in advance.

This is also the option that is most likely for Alyssa to obtain a long-distance ship. Although there are some other alternative options, the possibility is not very high.

The tram quickly crossed the road outside the airport and soon entered the city.

Storm Kingdom sounds like a magical name, and in fact, it is really magical.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a space station and a spaceship. There are still a lot of stone and brick buildings left in this place. They look very old, but from time to time you can see shuttles flying overhead. Some faintly glowing magic pipelines are also constructed on the ancient buildings that resemble city walls. It has a beauty that mixes the Middle Ages with future technology.

It is said that a thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Storms was still a very typical medieval society, roughly the same as Viola's, but at that time someone invented a cheap technology to break into the void, so the Kingdom of Storms began the Age of Interstellar Navigation.

By now, the Storm Kingdom has become one of the most important route nodes in the surrounding galaxies. Contact with other civilizations that have entered the interstellar age has also enabled the Storm Kingdom's technological level to develop rapidly.

The only small problem is that the people in the Storm Kingdom suffer from persecution mania. They always feel that residents from other planets will come to rob the Storm Kingdom's property, so the management of outsiders is very strict.
