About kilometers per hour, in space without air resistance, this speed is several times higher.
However, although the hull can withstand the impact, due to the many protective measures, the strength of the wooden hull is incredibly high.
Lucas didn't dare to speed the boat too fast.
Probably due to the fact that there are no magical elements in the earth's environment, the power of the "Gravity Rune Array" is not very great. If you enter the range of influence of the earth's gravity and the speed is too fast, you may not be able to stop the car. Then the ship will be destroyed but the people may not die. It will be a lot of fun.
He even distributed "transmission tokens" in advance, and asked the women in the family to change into clothes that were convenient for movement and stay in the cockpit so that they could escape as soon as possible if the submarine airship really lost control.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen. The journey was smooth and maintained at a constant speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The submarine airship sneaked into the atmosphere and clouds... until it reached a height of several kilometers above the ground.
It did not violently pass through the atmosphere with almost the momentum of crashing to the ground like a space shuttle or a return capsule entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Although I have a network ID of this world, because all the devices on the submarine airship are from another world, the underlying architecture and instruction set are very different from those in this world. I am grateful that I can log in to the Internet of this world using my ID and password.
Therefore, it is impossible to confirm your current location through satellite positioning, but fortunately, although there are many differences between the several worlds, the approximate location can still be estimated.
At this time, the sky outside had already darkened, and the submarine airship was still flying silently at an altitude of several thousand meters. After entering the atmosphere, Lucas also removed the protective measures on the airship, and the electric propellers on the butt of the submarine airship and the two small short wings outside also began to work.
Because he had not considered in advance the situation of flying this submarine airship to a different world, Lucas did not install any gas detection equipment on the airship. Fortunately, the "mystical knowledge" in his mind, including the adventure magic from the magic world, could determine whether the gas would be harmful to himself.
This is like the plot in the movie Avatar. There is a certain gas component in the atmosphere of the Avatar planet whose concentration is equivalent to poisonous gas to humans, but to the Avatar people, this gas is a harmless inert gas.
The effect of this type of spell is based on "harmfulness to oneself". He took Emily to the air intake on the airship first and tested whether it was harmful to himself. After finding out that it was not harmful, he let Emily try to inhale a few times.
Emily was fine too, at least for now.
The rest can only depend on God's will. If there are microorganisms in the air of this world that are harmless to the creatures of this world but harmful to alien creatures, Lucas has also prepared some countermeasures.
For example, limited invincibility potions... powerful holy light flashes reproduced through magic crystals and magic arrays... and some strange healing potions.
Now everyone in the family is a superhuman, and their physical fitness is at least twice that of an ordinary person. This attribute is called "endurance" on the panel made by Lucas. I guess this alone can make them immune to most common viruses.
However, for the time being, the air barrier spell on the airship is like an air purification device with a purity level comparable to that of space facilities. As long as this barrier is turned on, there is no need to worry about exposure to microorganisms through the air.
When the whole family relaxed and Laurel and Zhuo Yisi were preparing dinner, Lucas took back their teleportation tokens and returned to the low mountain villa on Crown Eagle Mountain. There were chickens outside the villa, so he picked up a few of them and planned to take them back to the spaceship as experimental animals.
He strolled around the villa a few more times and used some dried fish to hook up a few cats that were originally wandering in the community. With the help of the [Tree Spirit], he helped to calm the cats down and put them and the chickens into cages. They all behaved very docilely and did not resist or scream violently.
Lucas even brought a [Tree Spirit] with him and used the teleportation array in the underground library to get onto the spaceship. After the [Miracle Ancient Tree] had been established as a bank branch throughout the community and the main base of the distant Lord Stuart, the distribution of supplies could be done by the [Miracle Ancient Tree].
In Guanying Mountain, the storage spaces of the [Miracle Ancient Tree] are interconnected and combined together, allowing instant storage and retrieval.
The deposit and withdrawal between Stuart Territory and the bank are not instant, and there will be a delay of about 12 hours.
Moreover, Guanying Mountain has now basically achieved self-sufficiency in major food supplies. Except for consumer goods such as toilet paper, soap, bath shampoo, or tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, there is no need to distribute survival supplies on a regular basis.
After Lucas issued the three magical currencies of gold, silver and copper, residents could buy daily necessities at the [Miracle Ancient Tree] by themselves, without having to go to the basement under the villa.
So now the right to use this place is back in Lucas' hands, and Merry and some other managers who had access rights during difficult times have voluntarily returned the access rights to the basement.
Back on the submarine airship, Lucas arranged the chickens and cats in the rooms of the "big goblins" before, introduced the outside air into the room, and set up a barrier spell at the door so that people could enter and exit freely, but the air isolation effect was better than that of sealing with plastic sheeting.
After doing all this, he went to the restaurant to have dinner with his family.
……
The submarine landed in a country called Agentina in South America.
air.
The whole world is caught up in an alien invasion, and just because this is a third world country that rarely appears in movies and on the silver screen, it will not be spared.
From what Lucas saw from the sky, battles broke out almost every day across the country, with smoke rising everywhere.
Through close observation, he finally understood why those flying insect-men were called "sky demons", and whether it was the Chinese or foreign name, it meant the same thing.
Because they really appeared out of thin air from the sky.
With Lucas's mystical knowledge and some tests he did, it can be basically confirmed that these "celestial demons" came to this world in the same way as them. In some distant world, there is a "time and space tunnel" that is naturally formed or these "celestial demons" themselves opened up by some means, so they appear without any warning and out of thin air.
These "celestial demons" all have very thick biological shells. Lucas quietly collected the corpse of a "celestial demon" on the ground and found that their shells have strong spatial protection capabilities and can resist damage caused by spatial turbulence or energy explosions of not very high intensity with their shells alone.
This is why they can travel directly through in the flesh.
In addition, these shells are somewhat thick and extremely tough, so they have strong defense capabilities against any physical damage, such as cold weapons and small-caliber firearms.
In order to control the shell of a creature of this level, the "Sky Demon" itself must have strong enough muscles to maintain its strength and speed, and to ensure its ecological niche as a predator rather than a prey.
Therefore, the power that can be generated by the muscles under and attached to their shells is extremely exaggerated.
If we compare them with numerical values, ordinary people who are not extraordinary people usually have a strength attribute of around 5. Even if they train their physique to be like the Mountain, their strength attribute is only around 8 to 10. This is the advantage brought by the physique or bones. Maintaining this physique plus the addition of muscles puts a huge burden on the human body.
But a "celestial demon" with a body size similar to that of an ordinary human can have a strength value of 15, or even around 20 - this value is extremely exaggerated among ordinary humans, but it is nothing among extraordinary people. Lucas transferred a team of junior professional students from his [Magic Skills Academy]. The team of 12 people does not need magic equipment, but only a set of heavy armor like an iron can. It is estimated that they can defeat hundreds of these insect people.
Those with a strength value of 20 are usually larger insect men with red body surface. Most of the heavenly demon insect men are dark green, and they are probably elite monsters.
"Divine muscle" technology refers to the utilization of the muscle tissue of the celestial demon insect people.
The mysterious country in this world is similar to the one where Lucas was born. It has the demeanor of a great power and very high moral standards. Ten years ago, when the dangers of the sky demon insects began to break out frequently around the world, it announced this technological discovery to the world free of charge, and established a means and mechanism to effectively resist the "sky demon" disaster for all small countries that are unable to build their own modern national defense armament systems.
Even powerful countries and big countries with considerable modern military power have benefited countlessly from the "magic muscle" technology.
Simply put, this magical muscle technology is to recycle and reuse the whole body muscle tissue of the "celestial demon". It can be "prepared" by using a simple and easy-to-make soaking liquid that can be mass-produced in African countries without an industrial system, and can even be produced in a workshop-style production. It can be turned into a force that can generate powerful force by passing electric current. It can be sheared and installed on the exoskeleton in a very crude way to increase the power output of the exoskeleton, making it an extremely practical and powerful weapon.
Apart from not being able to fly and not having many fancy weapon systems, it can basically be seen as a low-profile version of Iron Man.
Ordinary people can master it quickly with a little training and adaptation.
The device that emits current can even be an unmodified car battery, or you can use a large number of small batteries to form a series battery pack, which can also be put into practical use.
A "magic muscle" combat exoskeleton can be made and become combat-ready with only a few medieval blacksmiths, a tailor or leatherworker who knows the simplest sewing and cutting skills, and a junior electrician who has learned how to connect battery packs in series or understands simple circuits. Oh, and a rechargeable power source.
Although the soaking liquid sold in the mysterious country is of the highest grade, its ingredients are extremely common. Africa does not even need a country, only a chief, to get the formula and collect them.
It is also because of the "magic muscle" combat exoskeleton that African countries and militarily weak countries like "Agentina" that Lucas was passing by, although there are battlefields everywhere on the land and some wars, but after all, the country has not been destroyed, and it has fought against the sky demon insect people vividly.
Among them, the meat of the Sky Demon Insect People is said to taste like chicken, and the protein content is really eight times that of beef. Most poor countries do not have food crises due to land abandonment.
According to United Nations statistics, over the past decade, the average meat intake of the world's population has been much higher than in peacetime. Of course, developed countries like Europe and the United States have seen a significant decline, and their animal husbandry has almost suffered a fatal blow... But these are per capita data, and the population of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the vast third world countries accounts for the absolute majority.
See this
It's true that Lucas can't get this information.
In terms of divine muscle technology, it is a routine operation in the mysterious kingdom, even the isotopes in this world look the same.
But the average meat intake of the world's population... He really couldn't look directly at the demon insects. Was this safe meat on the move, or was it the kind that was delivered to your door? Could this be a ruthless alien invader who caused countless tragedies on earth! ?
When the women on the submarine learned this information, they were also confused.
"Ah, this..."
A closer look at the data Lucas collected from various sources shows that the per capita health values in Asia, Africa and Latin America have also increased significantly in the past decade. Due to population losses, life expectancy has declined slightly, but basically those who have been eliminated are the elderly and the weak, so the age ratio of the population in these regions and countries is healthy.
In this regard, a few European countries and mysterious kingdoms have hardly changed, but... America's population structure is also quite healthy.

If possible, Lucas wanted to finish his "Divine Muscle Exoskeleton" work first, but he had to interrupt the development work because he entered the Americon territory of this world from the south to the north.
Because there are more important things to test first.
As long as he avoids civilian and military routes, the lower airspace will be like his private amusement park now that private planes and aircraft cannot take off at will due to the invasion of the "Sky Demon" insect people.
At the right altitude, and with a general course established, the submarine could be left almost alone, or in the care of a woman at home.
Through the intelligence he collected, Lucas learned that there seemed to be one or more nodes above Xinxiang City where "celestial demons" entered this world, so he only needed to move slowly along the east coast to reach Xinxiang City. It just so happened that he still had some preparations to do.
In this time and space, American implemented a contraction strategy. In addition to the threat of invasion by the "Sky Demon" insect people on its homeland, it was also because problems arose in the global dollar system and trade system. It could no longer take care of the global strategy and had to shrink back to its homeland and defend its basic base in the Americas.
In earlier biological tests, after a trial period of about ten days, the chickens and cats raised on the airship showed no symptoms of discomfort. The former have gradually been turned into various chicken-related delicacies on the airship, such as chicken pot, while the latter will be taken to the ground and released by Lucas when he lands.
The tree demon who was in charge of taking care of them also slaughtered the last chicken one day, cleaned the room, and returned to the low mountain villa with Lucas. The airship stopped maintaining the air barrier that day and instead used the air from the outside directly.
These days, Lucas goes out early and comes back late, using the teleportation array to return to the "Sinkhole Base". Emily knows what he is doing, but after figuring out that this is not her own world, she doesn't care much about what's going on in this world's American. It seems that the other women have the same attitude. They are no different from those in the low mountain villa. After exercising in the morning, they either get together to play poker or mahjong, or talk about topics that interest them, such as skin care, what hairstyle looks good, whether there are any black technology cosmetics in this world, etc., or if they come across a TV station or some network with good programs, they sit on the sofa and watch TV together.
Holding a popcorn bucket, drinking tea or happy water, it feels like they are relaxing in a high-end club, with a pure vacation attitude.
The airship travels day and night, and although it doesn't seem to be going very fast, it actually covers thousands of kilometers in a few days. From afar, we can see the "Shield Goddess Statue" standing on the sea, which is unique to this time and space.
The "shield" seems to be a myth from ancient Greece in this world, symbolizing justice and freedom. It has nothing to do with Captain America, as this is not the Marvel Universe.
Along the way, the submarine airship fully demonstrated its comfort and safety. Needless to say, in terms of comfort, they did not encounter any intentional or unintentional attacks, nor were there any missiles aimed at them. Such a large airship, like a ghost in the sky, was in its own right on the border of America, the number one military power on Blue Star in many parallel worlds.
So the women are now very brave and dare to drive the airship close to the "Shield Goddess Statue". Relying on the cover of the invisibility barrier, people outside cannot see themselves and the airship, so they stand on the exit platform on the top of the airship and take pictures.
The city of Xinxiang on the shore was in a very unstable situation at this time.
On average, every few dozen minutes, a wave of "Sky Demon" insect men would suddenly appear in the sky, numbering from hundreds to nearly ten thousand. Like flies hovering above rice fields, they would vibrate their wings to launch suicide attacks on the city... In fact, this scene was more like foraging, a scene of social insects foraging. All the way from Agentina, Emily and the other women had seen the "Sky Demon" insect men grazing on crops in the wild or simply the forest itself more than once.
Apart from mud and stones, they eat almost everything and are less picky than termites. When flying over the tropical rainforests of South America, you can almost see them replacing all ecological niches in the rainforest and engaging in fierce competition with predators that originally lived in the rainforest.
In this low-level biological competition, their indestructible leather armor and sharp claws give them an advantage over wild animals.
Only poisonous or strange creatures can cause some harm to them.
I don’t know how dangerous the world in which these “celestial demon” insect people live must be to produce creatures like these starving ghosts reincarnated.
However, compared to difficult-to-eat and difficult-to-digest substances such as trees and plants, meat foods with better nutritional value and taste are more attractive to them. Therefore, in the presence of humans or other large social wild animals, especially large human settlements such as cities, they will always be led to large social creatures and humans first. Simply put, they try to hunt humans.
Fortunately, although they exhibit biological characteristics similar to those of a bee nest, these "celestial demon" insect people have not been found to build nests in the wild or support the "queen bee" so far.
Their intelligence does not match their powerful biological combat capabilities... or rather, it is too matched. If their military power is too strong, then there is really no need for them to evolve their brains.
In short, their behavior in the wild is just like that of locusts. They only know how to follow their instincts and put food first. Scientists have studied the "Sky Demon" insect people and even found that ordinary "Sky Demons" and elite "Sky Demons" have no reproductive ability and are the same as worker bees.
Their explanation for the behavior of the "Sky Demon" insect-people is that they are invaders who came to this world by unknown means and are similar to wild beasts. There must be huge "mother insects" or "queen mothers" in their tribe who are responsible for childbirth and reproduction. There may also be more powerful "Sky Demon" insect-people who are responsible for fighting, but because of their huge size, they cannot pass through the space-time tunnels that only small "Sky Demon" insect-people can pass through.
This world is not like Emily's and the others' world. It has all kinds of fully functional monitoring technologies. Even Emily's world has diode-based monitoring technology, but the equipment is very large and cannot be miniaturized for a long time. However, there is no problem using it for remote monitoring of the ground by satellite.
The "Sky Demon" insect people have appeared in this world for thirty years, according to the most conservative estimate. During such a long period of time, the humans here have long discovered the way and characteristics of their entry into this world through various monitoring methods. Unfortunately, this is a field that human technology cannot reach for the time being, and we can only guess that it is related to space, super time and space, etc.
However, although the way the "Sky Demon" insect people appear is very advanced, their own intelligence and abilities as biological beings are very primitive. Although they can offset a large part of the power of thermal weapons and pose a threat to armies equipped with modern weapons, new ways of playing have already become popular on Earth decades ago.
That is the confrontation of war systems, not a single weapon that can determine the direction of the war.
Just in the past thirty years, the mysterious country here has cracked their biological advantages, invented biotechnology with "magic muscle" technology as the core, and developed a single-soldier exoskeleton combat system, which to a large extent makes up for the problem of insufficient individual melee combat capabilities of the terrifying upright bipedal apes when they are unable to be promoted to "supernormal".
……
Now the only asset that the "Sky Demon" insect people have to fight against humans is their numerical advantage.
Their number seems to be endless. Hundreds and tens of thousands of them emerge from the time and space tunnel at every moment throughout the year. This scene does not happen only in Xinxiang City or a few regions, but happens simultaneously all over the world.
And it has lasted for more than ten years. How many of them are there? In the vast areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America, even "one insect" has raised the per capita food share data in these poor areas.
According to official disclosure from UNESCO, although the world's total population has not increased over the past decade or so, and has even shown a slight downward trend, the number of hungry people in the world has dropped from 1 to 1.5 billion in the past to only tens of millions.
Insect meat, which tastes like chicken and contains eight times the protein of beef, has become the new staple food in these areas, replacing the three major staple foods.
What the great Americon, the beacon of human civilization, failed to do, these invading alien insects have done - they have solved the problem of food and clothing for humans in a broad sense.
Many remote small countries and even tribes have completely changed their way of survival, from farming, fishing and hunting in the past, to becoming professional hunters of the "celestial demon" insect people, relying on the "magic muscle" exoskeleton technology that has spread to every corner of the earth.
Now this is the case not only with small countries and tribes, but also with most countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and an ecological closed loop has almost been formed.
By simply hunting down the "Sky Demon" insect people, these countries can obtain most of the basic daily necessities. Then, using biological materials such as insect muscle and insect shells, they can trade for a small amount of daily necessities and industrial products used in the "Divine Muscle" technology.
It has even led to great challenges and impacts on these countries' traditional agriculture, fisheries and mining industries. The areas most affected are all those still controlled by traditional old capitalist or colonial countries. How should I put it? When it comes to dividing the indigenous people, causing them to fight among themselves, and seizing benefits from the colonies, these capitalist countries and former colonial countries are Nanpo Bay.
But when it comes to how to govern and develop these poor countries and backward regions, they are really lame. Not to mention the Asian, African and Latin American regions, even their own country, that is, the core areas of Europe and the United States, have encountered big problems after the invasion of the sky demon insect people.
The specific manifestation is that the global supply chain is broken, the food and material supply chain is broken, and many agricultural product producing areas are using "magic muscle" exoskeleton devices to play the Earth OL game of doomsday wasteland punk survival or nomadic hunting. Does Africa have time for the upper-class masters in Europe and the United States to farm and produce raw materials for consumer goods such as coffee and cocoa?
Only a few Asian, African and Latin American countries that are close to this mysterious country in this world have maintained their own stability by relying on the governance and organizational capabilities inherited from the mysterious country. They also rely on the railway transportation artery built by the mysterious country that runs through East Africa and West Africa to continue to export agricultural and mining products.
This is an important reason why America cannot maintain its global strategy. When the global supply chain is broken, they cannot maintain more than 200 military bases and daily expenses even if they wave their money, because money cannot be exchanged for supplies. Once the money they print cannot be exchanged for supplies, their monetary system will basically collapse.
So they had to retreat to their base in the American continent, and even did something really good, which was rare. They provided various types of assistance to many agricultural countries in South America, including technical, equipment, and military assistance, without asking for anything in return, but only requiring them to resume production.
In Mexico, they even did something unprecedented, and suddenly attacked and occupied the entire territory of Mexico - in this world, Mexico had a referendum to join America a long time ago, and this time they got what they wanted, and at this time of major global crisis, no one was so tactless as to talk about an armed invasion of America.
Why do we say that they have taken over Mexico and done something wrong? Because this time they not only dealt with all the monopolists fairly and in accordance with the law, they also forcefully forced all Mexican farmers to grow the three major staple foods and agricultural and sideline products - and in order to obtain industrial products, they continued to grow cash crops such as soybeans on their own land for export to the mysterious country.
With the global supply chain broken, U.S. dollars have become more difficult to use than toilet paper. If you want to obtain these industrial products that were transferred decades ago and don’t even have the ability to restart production, you can only exchange them with the mysterious country through barter.
