Chapter 296: Liana and Tilting

He grabbed a handful of grass, looked at the comparison between his arm and the grass, and shook his head.

This little grass was even less than a fish, and it was even less than the fish swallowed by the cloud whale. Maybe this little grass was thrown away and was snatched up by the patrolling fish before the cloud whale came.

In the warehouse on the collection platform, there was still some green grass tied up in bundles with hemp ropes, filling the temporary warehouse on the collection platform.

The area of ​​the collection platform is about half an acre, 30 meters long, 10 meters wide, and has a total load of 100 mils - the load of a modern train section is about 60 mils.

The area is large, but it is more than enough for a cab and lounge, a cargo warehouse, a berth for a single-person airship to take off and land, and some auxiliary tools.

Ji Lin looked at the driver who was teaching the fishermen how to operate the auxiliary airship in the distance, and then turned his attention to the pile of hay in front of him.

The hemp rope was pulled by a crane, and the tail of the hemp rope was tied together and tied with a knot to fix it.

With the platform as the center point, the rotating winch released the bundled hay and the fresh hay that was still far from being harvested from the air.

The early crane used to pull materials in the fishing port was installed on the collection platform. The main body was made of cheap wood, but a large number of steel parts were used to strengthen the structural strength and improve the flexibility of key parts.

These wood and steel combined equipment are used as auxiliary tools in the territory. With Ji Lin's promotion, they have been popularized to every corner of the territory that needs to lift heavy objects.

This is the universal technology of all civilizations, construction engineering.

It was used to lift materials onto vehicles in the past, but now it is used to deliver materials to airships.

The popularization of large-scale mechanical auxiliary tools means that civilization is moving from one stage to another, and moving forward requires the introduction of external energy to assist.

For example, steam engines or rune-driven technologies that can really have a great impact on reality.

Ji Lin rotated the winch and slowly let the grass fall from the sky.

Another target of this crane traction rope is tied to the tail of the airship, which can be directly towed and recovered after the other party loses power due to an accident. Or when danger comes, the collection platform can quickly tow the airship back to the mothership to complete the recovery.

He has reservations about the effectiveness of this plan. The cable will reduce the flexibility of small airships and also reduce the flexibility of airships.

After all, the technology of the territory is very advanced, and the ropes that can be made are thick and heavy.

"Click."

The winch is locked, and the cable has reached its limit.

One hundred meters, barely passing the highest point at the bottom of the floating island. The yellow-green grass is hanging on a rope and swaying in the air, floating in the air. It is almost obvious that it is actually bait.

There may be another 100 meters to the sea of ​​clouds.

It looks close, but after throwing the rope, I feel that the sea of ​​clouds is still some distance away from the sky island.

Knowing that the creature will come to eat, Ji Lin looked at the empty sea of ​​clouds and turned his eyes to the fishermen who have begun to control the airship.

Some fishermen were slightly excited to try to board the boat, while others were hesitant.

They are afraid of heights, and the driver has considerable experience in dealing with people who are afraid of heights. There are also some soldiers in the territory who are afraid of heights. The premise that they will die is to help them overcome their psychological difficulties.

"Can we get closer?"

Ji Lin asked the driver, pointing to the cliff in the distance.

The other party nodded.

The floating platform soon arrived in front of the cliff in a posture that was about to hit the cliff, and stopped 20 centimeters away from the green vine wall.

As human activities increase, predatory cloud-dwelling creatures decrease, while herbivorous cloud-dwelling creatures increase.

The enrichment of herbivorous creatures makes the vine flora at the bottom of the floating island more developed and luxuriant.

From the beginning, it looked like a gray-brown inverted mountain range, and gradually revived a few green ones. These vines are all the same green from a distance, but when you look closely, you can clearly see that a vine community is composed of a large number of long vines of the same species.

Plants with teardrop-shaped leaves as slender as infusion tubes, a large number of vines with round leaves that are thicker than arms, and finger-thick vines with small red granules. Some of these fruits show obvious signs of being bitten off.

Some bite marks even appear on the leaves, and young leaves are also in their diet. Cloud-dwelling creatures use these plants as their staple food.

The roots of vines are firmly embedded in the soil and rock formations, firmly fixing their bodies in the rock formations. Even if the people who have been strengthened by blood purification try their best, it is difficult to completely uproot a plant from the rock formation, and at most they can pull a section.

They can collect plant samples standing on the floating platform, just like standing on the flat ground and reaching a small hill full of various plants with a slight stretch of their hands.

If they want, they can pick them at any time.

Ji Lin folded a leaf and held it in his hand, spreading his perception along the gap, and the impenetrable source essence turned into a probe to search for living animals on this vine wall.

Only he can use the source essence very finely. The control methods of others are too rough compared to him. The three blood purifications have greatly enhanced his perception ability. Too rough, so rough that it can expand a huge radius to feedback information to them.

Birds build their nests in trees, and Yunqiwu will have its own nest right on this vine wall.

Their nest...

Spread, spread, with itself as the radius, a 50-meter penetration scan without blind spots.

Found it.

Ji Lin opened his eyes, and the source essence told him the target as if his mind tentacles were his. There were actually a lot of animals alive in this vine wall - and in groups.

From the vine wall, there was no flaw in the place completely covered by vines.

He pushed aside the vine closest to him, and the source essence condensed in his hand and transformed into a short knife, cutting it open.

A nest of small fish fry with faint silver light was revealed, and they were jumping around in the huge spherical nest. The pair of shining big eyes almost occupied two-thirds of their heads, and the two long fish fins with a faint purple glow were shaking and flapping.

A little frying and it looked like the long dace he usually saw in the dace can.

Fry it in oil, sprinkle some spices and seasoning powder, and you will have a delicious and fragrant delicacy.

Ji Lin looked at this nest of small fish fry and couldn't help thinking badly.

Reach out and grab a small silver fish from it to feel what it feels like - to be honest, these little things are really fast, even the floating rays can catch up with them, and the slow floating ships in the territory can't wait for them to come to the door.

Didn't catch it.

Ji Lin was stunned.

He didn't determine the position, and the little fish was jumping...

That's right, the floating platform is tilting.

The floating platform is tilting in a certain direction...?

The driver reacted immediately and felt the abnormality of the floating platform. His feet were faster than his brain and pulled him to the control console to focus the numerous thrusts to counter the external force.

When driving the airship, he would occasionally encounter such an imbalance of the ship. His primary task was to quickly get to the position and control the reset.

The external force was transmitted to the platform along the crane on the platform, pulling it in one direction. It was said that the long rope produced in the territory was of very good quality. There was no sign of breaking until cracks appeared on the wooden structure and the iron fixing parts began to leave their positions under pressure.

"Hold the railing and fix your body!"

The driver realized what was going to happen in an instant and raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Snap."

The heavy crane announced the end of the wrestling with a crisp explosion, and wood chips and twisted steel parts fell.

One part of the crane drew a few perfect arcs in the sky, and then accelerated its fall under the external force acting on the other part of the long rope.

The floating platform hit the rock wall directly, making a loud noise, smashing the vine wall so that green juice splashed all over the edge of the boat. The fishermen fell to pieces, but no unlucky person fell in this accident.

When Ji Lin rushed to the railing, he saw the cloud whale let out a long cry of joy, swung its leaf-shaped tail fin, leisurely held a long dark brown rope and the remaining part of the crane, and flew into the cloud, leaving a small white pit in the sea of ​​clouds.
