Chapter 763: A Fart-Powered Jet Across the Pacific
Jianye.
A strange roar shocked all the soldiers and civilians in this newly built small city, and everyone's eyes turned to the Yangzhou Pastoral Office, which served as the palace, at the same time, the dust there surged up, quickly flooding the small mansion.
Silver brilliance flashed in the dust.
Immediately afterward, everyone let out screams of terror and subconsciously ran in all directions.
Because in the dust, a giant bird was slowly rising, with silver wings more than five feet wide, with a sharp beak at the front end, and three black claws below, constantly letting out a terrifying roar, stirring up the dust below, and even the roof tiles could be blown away, and even the ground under his feet could feel the slight tremor.
And the giant bird's belly opened its mouth wide, as if it was going to choose someone to eat.
The horror is beyond people's imagination, as they scream and scream about all sorts of imaginary mythical creatures and run.
"Stop, don't panic, it's Your Majesty's mount!"
The official door was open, and a dusty guy ran out and roared, and people calmed down all of a sudden, it was the palace of His Majesty the Emperor, where was this God Emperor, how could there be a monster, even if there was a divine beast that must have been raised by the God Emperor, the original chaotic order immediately calmed down, and some of the bold ones even stopped looking up, only to find that this thing is not very terrifying. And at the same time, their Yangzhou Mu and a group of adults also ran out with their heads covered in dust, one by one they couldn't even see their faces, and they were estimated to be able to shake off a few catties of dust from their bodies, looking like a group of camels that had just climbed out of the storm in the desert, and the next moment the giant bird above their heads suddenly raised their heads, and then rose into the sky at an eye-popping speed, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a silver shadow and disappeared into the blue sky.
"Quick, get out of town!"
A desert camel roars wildly.
"Your Majesty wants to go to the overseas immortal mountains to take the immortal seed for the people, so that the world will never be hungry!"
Then another camel roared.
Then the soldiers and civilians in the city blew up their nests all at once, and there will never be hunger in the world! This is the ultimate dream of almost everyone, whether it is ordinary people, officials or even bandits in the mountains, all regard this as the most beautiful dream, it can be said that since the birth of human beings, everyone has dreamed of such a world, and all religions have woven their myths with such a world.
Even in the prosperous world, you can't get enough to eat!
Even if an official encounters a disaster, he will starve to death!
Back then, there was another Taishou who suffered from famine on the way to office, and he starved to death halfway through the famine! In such an era, the era of not starving to death is a prosperous age, and the few starving people are also considered a good year, and the seemingly funny dream of everyone to eat enough is almost the ultimate dream in the simple minds of people in this era.
However, the emperor who had just finished performing a miracle.
Overseas fairy mountain.
Immortal seeds.
All of this adds up to make this dream suddenly seem less illusory!
The soldiers and civilians in Stone City flocked out, and soon arrived at the banks of the Qinhuai River outside the city.
At this moment the silver giant bird in the sky appeared again, and with the roar it rapidly descended, growing larger and larger in their field of vision, and soon it was almost pressed against the people's heads, and then it was pulled up violently, and circled obliquely like a silver lightning bolt. Immediately after slowing down and descending in height, it was already very slow when it was close to the ground, and the three wheels touched the ground and slid slightly for dozens of meters before quickly stopping, and then the big mouth automatically opened and lowered the pedals, and His Majesty the Emperor, who was originally sitting inside, walked out with a reserved smile, just like many historical photos, raised his hand and waved at people.
Then everyone knelt down.
Yang Feng: This is actually a fart-powered jet......
Well, fart power indeed.
He uses his soul energy to confine the air compression to a narrow range and release it, and then continuously compresses and releases it, so that he gains the same thrust as a jet engine, and as long as there is an engine, it is not worth mentioning that other aircraft are built. Even he doesn't need aerodynamic surfaces such as rudders, his engine is pure vector, and it includes reverse adjustment in all directions, so his steering doesn't need any aerodynamic surfaces, he only needs a pair of wings that provide lift to reduce his workload, after all, he is afraid of himself if he keeps doing this all the time.
It's as simple as having wings, just jump into the stratosphere and go straight to Mexico.
Only then did he remember that it was not necessarily a good thing to directly open up the Americas, and that the Columbus Exchange sent not only the smallpox virus, but also the things that made our Qing Dynasty lose an emperor, and before he did not produce penicillin, it was very troublesome to bring in this thing that had tormented Europe for centuries, not to mention that there were also some small insects that were also very troublesome, such as red fire ants.
But it would be different if it was just him who went and fetched the seeds.
Anyway, the Americas don't mean much to him in the short term, what he wants is actually seeds, so just take the seeds, and let the Mayans continue their history in their closed time, and one day when there is population pressure here, and when there is no place to expand westward.
And his first stop was corn.
At this time, the Mayans in Mexico are still around, by the way, you can appreciate their murderous sacrifices, and corn is their main crop, so there is no need to think about how to find it, just get some seeds back, by the way, get cocoa, and continental cotton and peppers are native to Mexico, and the Mayans are already using or eating, that is to say, seeds can be found, but tomatoes may be more troublesome, there is no evidence that the Mayans ate this, it is likely to be just a kind of wild grass in the primeval forest, It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not very important.
There are also sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato is also native to Mexico, and the Mayans also eat it, so this one is also easy to get.
The second stop should be rubber.
This is a really good thing, having rubber and the rubber industry is equivalent to giving wings to land expansion, and in the future, horse-drawn carriages with rubber wheels can continue to conquer westward, but this is also the most difficult to find, after all, this is not food, it is said that the Mayans used it to kick balls, so it is not that you have to go to the rainforest to search, and you should still be able to find it if you work hard.
And then the third stop, of course, is potatoes.
The origin of potatoes is the highlands and mountains of South America, but this is also the most troublesome, because there are great differences in the potatoes themselves, in fact, this thing was not popularized until the end of the Qing Dynasty, mainly because of the different varieties of potatoes, the Irish were pitted by this, and there were serious defects in the genes of potatoes introduced into Europe in the early days, and finally a potato crisis in Ireland made the world hegemon actually split up. What really solved these problems was another potato variety introduced from South America in the late nineteenth century, and it was this variety that really made the potato really sweep the world, including the variety that was introduced later in China that began to be cultivated on a large scale. And this one was introduced from Chile, but it was not entirely wild, it was also the product of artificial cultivation and domestication, so even if he found the right breed, he had to breed it first.
Of course, the same goes for the others.
After all, he couldn't have brought back thousands of tons of corn.
He can only bring 100 catties of seeds at most, so he has to be a farmer himself after he goes back, responsible for cultivating these new crops, especially the breeding of corn must be done well, in short, this matter is not so simple, not to say that it is okay to take back the seeds. But no matter how much work is worth it, especially the power of potatoes is too great, once the northern nomads who wandered over the Central Plains like ghosts in history are not worth mentioning at all, whether it is the northeast or the northwest, they can become fertile soil for farming peoples with this thing, and the southwest mountains that can also be called cancerous tumors, with this kind of thing in hand, it will also be really solved.
What's more, he also has to support the Xiaoice River!
At this time, it was already a Xiaoice River.
It's just not at the peak yet.
There were two large-scale Xiaoice periods in the history of human civilization, one in the late Han and one in the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen spread the peak of the late Ming Dynasty, and the peak of the late Han Dynasty this time was in the Western Jin Dynasty, but the entire Three Kingdoms has always been famine, so he urgently needs crops that can support the cold and spread them, so that the whole country can cross the peak of the Xiaoice River unharmed after a hundred years.
"I will go to the overseas immortal mountain, looking for the immortal seed that will make the world hungry forever, and I will go for at least a few months, and you will be in peace, do not raise swords, and when I return, I will share the prosperity with you!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
"Obey the Divine Commandment!"
Sun Quan and his gang hurriedly kowtowed and said.
Yang Feng waved his hand again with satisfaction, and then walked back to his fart powered jet, and then the actual glider slowly rose under the impetus of his downward jet, turned to fly forward and circled over Jianye, and then soared into the sky in the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the ground, and soon rose to the stratosphere of more than 10,000 meters, and then turned east and went straight to Central America nearly 20,000 miles away.
In other words, he didn't dare to hit the sound barrier in this broken plane.
So he can only fly at subsonic speed, but the actual speed is still much faster than that of a civil airliner.
There were no surprises during the whole flight.
In this era, there is no other flying machine, more than 10,000 meters, he is difficult to even see a bird, it is nothing more than a straight line to fly forward, the air flow pouring in from the front air intake is constantly compressed, and then sprayed out from the tail jet, pushing the wingspan of more than twelve meters, the total weight of less than a ton of small aircraft, easy and smooth flight forward, only nine hours later has seen the American continent, according to the navigation provided by Xiao Qian can be determined to be the Baja California Peninsula, Yang Feng immediately descended to adjust the direction, Then head southeast straight for northeastern Guatemala.
At this time, the Maya were in what archaeologists call the Preclassic period, and Guatemala had its main city-state, Ermirado.
