Chapter 857 - 854 Completed

Chapter 857: Chapter 854 Completed

Lucas, having finished his ’morning exercise’, was eating breakfast with Mina and the others in the dining room.

The girls didn’t ask where Lucas had been the whole day yesterday. They just playfully scrambled for food as usual, and after eating, they all went their separate ways to attend to their own business.

Annie, on the contrary, came down today and followed Lucas and Mina into the study.

Creak...

"You’ve worked hard these past few days. Since you finally have some free time, aren’t you going for a stroll in the city?" Lucas opened the door, sat in his seat, and looked at the seated Annie.

"I’m not going, it’s more comfortable here with the Master. I’ve had enough of running around outside these past few days," Annie swished her fox tail, chewing on the dried fish she had snatched from Mina’s hands.

Mina glared from the side and hurriedly hid the dried fish she had just taken out again.

"You can rest for a few days, it’s nothing major, just order them to do it." Lucas opened the drawer and took out a box of lollipops. This was brought over from Earth yesterday.

There were twelve in the box, each one transparent, holding a starry sky within—these were starry sky lollipops unique to Earth.

"Wow, so pretty, thank you Master." Annie took the lollipop, her eyes unable to hold anything else.

Mina peeked from the side, curled her lips, and didn’t say anything. After finishing her ’morning exercise’ today, she had also received a bag of dried fish, cumin-flavored, which she had long since hidden away.

Knock knock knock. The door was suddenly knocked on.

"My Lord, it’s Euphy," Came Euphy’s voice from outside the door.

"Euphy, could it be that there’s progress on that item?" Lucas guessed, then spoke up, "Come in."

Step step step...

Getting Lucas’s response, Euphy pushed the door open and walked in.

"My Lord." Euphy had an excited look on her face as she bowed to Lucas.

"Could it be that it’s already been made?" Lucas looked at Euphy with a smile. This was her second time seeking him out on her own initiative.

The first time she came, she gave him a huge surprise by discovering a new alloy. So what about this second time, would there be another surprise?

"My Lord, the outer shell of the Sky Fortress has been completed. Please come and give your guidance, My Lord," Euphy said excitedly. There were traces of bloodshot veins in her eyes; it seemed she had been working overtime on her research again recently.

"So fast?" Lucas was surprised. But upon seeing the bloodshot veins in Euphy’s eyes and her exhausted face, he realized why it had been so fast.

"It’s just the outer shell. The gondola and steam engine haven’t been installed yet, and the helium gas issue hasn’t been resolved either." Euphy looked a bit embarrassed and slightly lowered her head.

"You’ve done very well. As for the helium issue, leave it to me," Lucas praised Euphy. The completion of this outer shell was much shorter than he expected.

And helium was actually the gas used to fill the airship. Actually, hydrogen could also be used, but hydrogen was highly flammable and explosive. Helium wasn’t. Although helium was more expensive than hydrogen, for the sake of safety, Lucas ultimately chose helium as the lifting gas.

However, whether it was hydrogen or helium, they would have to wait for Lucas to return to Earth and order the machinery before it could be produced.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look together." Lucas stood up, a bit curious about what the airship outer shell Euphy had made looked like.

"Okay," Mina and Annie nodded. They were equally curious and a little excited inside.

They knew what Euphy was making—it was the Sky Fortress, which could take them across the Forbidden Mountains back to the Valtoria Kingdom’s side.

The group left the castle and got into the carriage heading to the Research Department. Along the way, Euphy was a bit nervous. This was her first time independently completing a research project, and it was the Sky Fortress she desired to research most. She didn’t want any mistakes.

Lucas looked at Euphy’s hands gripping the hem of her clothes and didn’t say much. He would only know the result after seeing the real thing.

Step step step...

Twenty minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the main gate of the Research Department.

"My Lord, we’ve arrived," Came Chris’s voice from outside the carriage.

Lucas led the others out of the carriage and walked toward the Sky Fortress Research Institute inside the Research Department.

As soon as he entered the door, Lucas’s vision was entirely filled by an object. In front of him, a massive ’rugby ball’ was supported by numerous wooden frames, its entire body forged from the new alloy.

And this behemoth was the outer shell of the Sky Fortress, the core part of the airship. At a rough glance, its length was about forty meters, its diameter was eight meters, and there were four tail fins at the back used to control direction. At the very end, there was a small propeller.

Mina and Annie were also amazed, their eyes wide as they circled this ’giant rugby ball’. They didn’t quite understand how this thing would fly; did it need a fire to burn fuel like a hot air balloon?

"It might be a little big," Euphy said, looking a bit embarrassed at Lucas and the others’ expressions. This was, after all, the first time building an airship. There was no past experience, only a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

"It’s not big, it’s actually a bit small." Lucas didn’t think it was big. For an initial prototype, being small didn’t matter.

"Master, can this really fly?" Annie asked suspiciously.

"Whether it can or not, you’ll find out in about two months." Lucas wasn’t entirely sure either. Once he started talking about the field he was good at, he began to speak endlessly.

"Oh." Annie nodded and didn’t ask further. Since the Master said so, she would wait another two months.

"My Lord, this is the deflation valve, and this is where the gondola is installed. The steam engine will be installed here to drive the propeller at the tail..." Euphy introduced to everyone. One was to prevent the filling gas from expanding and bursting the shell, and the other was to control the airship’s travel direction—both were indispensable parts of the airship.

"The remaining parts can be completed within a month and a half, all we’re missing is My Lord’s helium." Euphy’s eyes were full of bright light; this was something she dreamed of completing.

"Within two months, the helium issue should be resolved." Lucas calculated in his head. If he went back to Earth, found someone to buy the equipment, and then dismantled it to transport it over in batches, two months should be about right.

"That’s great!" Euphy became excited.

"Alright, you should take a good rest now. Don’t rush the rest," Lucas said, pretending to be serious.

She indeed hadn’t rested well recently, and he didn’t want her falling ill, which would only delay the research progress.

"Yes, My Lord," Euphy replied.
