Volume 5 Chapter 64 - Coming back the same way (1/2)

After meeting with Leslie, Xu Yi and Evita’s group rested on the ship for a bit before heading off on the Magic Airship the next morning.

However, they didn’t head back to the Stantine Duchy, but rather they headed even further east.

Looking at the endless seas to the east, Leslie took a deep breath. He thought that fellow Xu Yi really was ambitious.

While others were still considering how the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would stabilize the situation in the Lampuri Kingdom, the Rudson Kingdom, and the surrounding countries, he had actually set his eyes on the Candra Empire.

And now, he was focusing on somewhere even further. He wanted to bring the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products to the furthest eastern point of the continent.

But the sea in front of him was endless and Xu Yi’s currently destination was very remote.

First not mentioning whether he could reach it or not, just being able to smoothly reach the destination was a very worrying problem.

Actually, Xu Yi was also a bit worried about this.

This was the first long distance journey for the Magic Airship Evita had designed. From the Stantine Duchy toe meeting Leslie on the Candra Empire’s seas, they had travelled over three thousand kilometers.

If they wanted to reach their destination, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, just based on the map, they would have to travel over two thousand kilometers.

This meant that this trip had surpassed a distance of over five thousand kilometers one way.

On the current Sines Continent, a trip of over five thousand kilometers was almost impossible to do.

However, Xu Yi’s group riding the Magic Airship, because of the Magic Airship’s speed of over a hundred kilometers an hour and its strong ability to continue flying, this trip might become possible.

“Evita, how far have we gone so far?”

Evita was looking down at the sea below the Magic Airship through the windows and could vaguely see land in the distance. Hearing Xu Yi’s voice, she turned back with a smile and said, “We’ve already flown for over six hundred kilometers. Sir chairman, according to my estimates, we should be able to fly out of the Candra Empire’s area by today.”

“Oh? That is quite fast.” Xu Yi revealed a smile, but he didn’t really agree with his appraisal in his heart.

The airplanes on earth could fly at a thousand kilometers an hour, five thousand kilometers would only take half a day to travel.

But the Magic Airship could only barely reach a hundred kilometers an hour. To travel five thousand kilometers, even if they didn’t stop at all, it would take over fifty hours, which was just over two days.

Of course, compared to traveling on land in the Magic Cars that were limited by the geography, the Magic Airships were much faster.

Not to mention the old horse carriage style of the Sines Continent, the Magic Airship was a completely other level of transportation.

Instead of comparing speeds, Xu Yi cared more about the accuracy of the flight path.

The Sines Continent didn’t have the same airplanes as on earth which through satellite guidance systems, could guarantee they would be flying on the right route. To make sure that they reached their goal, it would depend on the pilot’s judgement.

Although Evita’s team had experience in cruising, this was their first long distance experiment, so it was a big challenge for them.

But they had gone two thousand kilometers from the Stantine Duchy to find Xu Yi in the Norton Duchy, which meant that they had the ability for this. So Xu Yi only cared about it, but he wasn’t worried.

“Sir chairman, I plan on letting it cruise at a constant speed after it turns dark and it should take around eight hours. If nothing goes wrong, we should enter the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom when morning comes.” Evita explained her plan to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked at the sky that was getting dark from the sun setting to the east and shook his head.

“No, Evita, we’ll be in the dark less than the eight hours that you estimated, you should be ready to adjust for this error.”

“Less than eight hours? Why?” Evita slightly knit her brows in confusion.

Xu Yi thought about it before deciding to explain to Evita the sun’s rise based on the rotation of the planet.

After being in this year for over eight years, Xu Yi had already found that there were many places about this world that were similar to earth. The most obvious was the planet’s rotation and the passage of time.

As for when he looked at the stars at night, Xu Yi had also found that there were many constellations that were in the same positions as on earth.

Xu Yi had always doubted that he was still on earth, but it was just in a parallel universe.

When listening to Xu Yi’s basic knowledge of astronomy, Evita didn’t fully understand.
