Chapter 442 - Boarding the Airship

"My God???" Through the car window, Chiba looked out the window in surprise. "This ...... This is!? ”

"I already knew it was this," Conan smacked his lips. "But to be honest, I can feel the shock after actually seeing it."

“Oh my god.” Gray Plains' expression was equally surprised.

"What is this?" Genta's expression was even more exaggerated. "Big eggs?"

"Is this a large observatory?" Mitsuhiko was also puzzled. "But shouldn't a normal observatory be domed?"

"Yes, Conan, what does this have to do with the Observatory?" Suddenly awakened by Mitsuhiko's words, Chiba asked Conan.

"It's up here," Conan's voice was full of antiquity. "Astronomical observation equipment."

"On this?" Qian Yu was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Wait a minute, you mean ......"

"We're going to take this airship into the air for astronomical observations?"

"Otherwise? Otherwise, why do you think you and I are here before the airship takes off? And not because this airship is the safest. ”

……

"Kidd?" Listening to what Conan said, Qian Yu was stunned. "You mean, that monster thief Kidd will be here too?"

"Hmm," Conan nodded. "Old man Jiroyoshi placed a challenge and bet on the treasure [Lady Sky] in exchange for a chance to face off against the strange thief Kidd - and the strange thief Kidd agreed."

"And if we take off now, wouldn't it be very likely that Kidd the Monster Thief wouldn't have time to get on the airship at all?" Thousand Feathers raised an eyebrow. "In that case, Kidd probably won't have enough time to blend in with the airship, and will have to find a way to sneak in during the flight - this seems to be easy for us to detect."

"Perhaps, but I don't think it's likely," Conan shook his head, then pointed to the car that was parked at the back of the airship not far away. "You see, those carts are supposed to be carrying supplies such as ingredients - the Siamese cat matter was just revealed, and it is impossible to muster enough supplies for the airship to fly for a long time anyway, so we must continue to stay on the ground for a while."

"It's okay to stay here," Qianyu sighed. "It's better than staying over there...... I just don't know if it's going to be boring here. ”

In this way, while asking Conan for information about the airship, Chiba walked with him to the landing port of the airship.

Behind the two of them, Gray Yuan looked at the figure of the two of them talking, walking alone.

Tachibana ...... I guess going to Conan was asking about the habitation and astronomical observations on the airship this time, right?

"Ashbaranda?" At this moment, Ayumi ran up from behind and looked at Ash Hara with some strange eyes.

“?” Ash Hara was pulled out of his thoughts and looked at Ayumi with some confusion.

"Are you unhappy?" Ayumi asked as she watched Ashbara's expression change.

"No, why do you think that?" Gray Yuan was stunned for a moment before asking rhetorically.

"Hmm, okay" Ayumi blinked, then suddenly looked behind Ashbara. "Ah, then I'll go first!"

Saying this, Ayumi suddenly continued to run forward again?

“?” Gray Yuan looked behind with some curiosity, only to see Motota and Mitsuhiko running towards this side with large travel bags.

Just in front, Conan and Chiba had already finished communicating basic information and were continuing to walk together, but Ayumi suddenly ran past them, and then rushed to the landing port, and then ran up.

As she ran upwards, there was one step that didn't steady, only her toes pressed on the end of the steps - as she continued to run upward with this foot as the base, the static friction coefficient indicated that she was not big enough.

"Ahh

Chiba was shocked, but realized that his current position was too late to stop Ayumi from falling down the stairs anyway.

Wait a minute, it seems - don't need to shoot yourself?

Ayumi, who was already subconsciously preparing to protect herself with her arms, suddenly felt her left arm being caught, and her figure was stabilized at the same time.

"Be careful, young lady," the airship attendant, who had been standing at the top of the stairs, helped Ayumi to her feet and admonished with a worried expression. "Wrestling here is going to hurt!"

"Thank you, brother," Ayumi stood up, about to say thanks, when she noticed a red slit between the waiter's elbows. "Ah, brother, you seem to be injured!"

"Huh?" The waiter was stunned, only to realize that there was indeed a blood mark on his left elbow, which looked like his elbow had rubbed against something sharp when he grabbed Ayumi just now. "Uh..."

At this time, Chiba and Conan had already arrived in front of the escalator and also noticed the waiter's wound.

"Did it bleed?" Qian Yu asked, took off the school bag, and pulled out a band-aid from it. "Use this."

With that, Chiba uncovered the Band-Aid, then stepped on the escalator and carefully placed the Band-Aid on the waiter's wound.

"Would you still bring something like this?" Conan was surprised.

"I've been out for a long time this time, so I'll definitely bring basic medicines," Qian Yu smoothed out the band-aid and put her backpack back on her back. "A box of cold and fever medicines, a small box of band-aids, and so on."

"Hmm," the waiter glanced at Chiba's backpack and thanked him. "Thank you for your Band-Aid, little friend."

"It's just a matter of effort." Qian Yu bowed slightly, and then turned to the gray plain mourning who had already walked over. And Conan also reflected after glancing at the gray plain mourning behind him, and he bypassed Chiba and boarded the airship behind Ayumi.

"I'm curious how high this guy can fly," Gray Hara's Wai said, looking at the massive airship. "If you can't fly above the clouds, I'm afraid that astronomical observations will be very affected?"

"I'm worried about that too," Chiba nodded. "I feel like this is like a rigid airship - the whole exterior of the airship is completely fixed material, and the volume and shape cannot be changed - the buoyancy of such an airship is fixed, equal to the density of the air at the flight altitude multiplied by the total volume of the airship. In other words, as the altitude continues to rise, the buoyancy provided by the volume of the airship will decrease as the air becomes thinner, and eventually it can only barely carry the gravity of the airship and cannot continue to rise. ”

"Don't worry about that!" Just as they were discussing the topic while boarding the airship, the voice of a very happy old man came from the side.

A sturdy old man named Jiroyoshi Suzuki was holding a very lively dog and looking at them with a smile.
