The orcs' unwillingness to go south is the biggest problem facing Luden.

In the northern snowfield, there are the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom. Not only are they surrounded by orcs, but the environment itself is also very harsh.

Luden is going to explore the secret of the demise of the Qiyun Kingdom.

This is what he must do.

The priority of this matter was given the highest priority by Luden.

He needs to know why the Qiyun Kingdom died and what mistakes he made in Qiyun that led to the tragic ending.

Only by knowing your mistakes can you avoid them in this simulation and the next.

We cannot follow the old path of Qiyun Kingdom.

Must learn something.

Luden knew very well that it might have nothing to do with him. He was just one person and could not affect the world one thousand two hundred years later.

Even if the blame for the demise of the Qiyun Kingdom is really shared, one cannot blame a person who has been dead for more than a thousand years.

His reason kept telling cold and correct facts.

The answer is not important. Put down the burden and look forward. You can do better...

but,

Luden also has irrational moments.

He needs to know the answer.

For myself and for Qiyun.

When Luden came down from the high platform, Spartak came up to him, with a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Ludden, we may have to wait for the next beast wave. Those beasts are hiding in the north. They have no plans to go south."

Seemingly knowing what Luden was worried about, Spartak took the initiative to add,

"Mr. Luden, the decree of the Senate requires that an exploration be completed during the Beast Tide War. If the orcs do not go south, the decree will remain in effect..."

He wanted to advise Luden not to be in such a hurry, but to wait a little longer.

A few years later, the bell rings again. As long as there are enough orcs, sooner or later they will go south again...

Luden shook his head slightly and said nothing.

He couldn't afford it.

Pang Ge can't afford to delay it either.

Returning to his residence in the castle, Luden gave instructions to the accompanying steward,

"Ask them to send 'that thing' over."

The manager's heart sank, he suppressed his shock, didn't say anything, and went to do it immediately.

Luden called to the steward,

"Bring Awu also, and invite the three great scholars... to send a message to everyone. Anyone who wants to go to the ruins of Qiyun Kingdom can follow."

"clear!"

Spartak caught up with him, lowered his voice and said urgently,

"Mr. Ludden, it is impossible for a hot air balloon to float to the snowy field!"

There are only two ways to go to the ruins of Qiyun Kingdom:

land, sky.

The orcs retreated to the north, traveling overland to die.

What they sent out was an exploration team, not an army of 100,000 people.

What's more, supporting the logistics of tens of thousands of troops on the snowy plains and launching an expedition...

Even if Luden is willing, the Senate will not accompany him to go crazy.

If the land doesn't work, then you can only turn your attention to the sky.

During the last Beast Tide War, Luden used a hot air balloon to complete an almost impossible journey from Snow Valley Town to Snow River City.

Obviously, Luden wanted to repeat the last miracle.

However, Spartacus, who knew the whole story, certainly knew the meaning behind this miracle.

Luden's itinerary was carefully planned, and timely supplies were required for each flight distance.

Using a hot air balloon to go to the snowfield and explore the Qiyun ruins is a completely impossible task!

Even if it does fly over, there is still the threat of a tide of beasts below!

Even if he takes ten thousand steps back, even if he ignores the orcs, Luden will never be able to return!

Spartacus cannot just watch Mr. Luden die!

"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet."

Luden noticed Spartak's uneasiness and casually comforted him,

"You'll know when you see something like that."

A few days later, Spartak saw what Mr. Luden called "that thing."

How to describe it in words?

A huge, inflated monster, like a sealed hot air balloon, is suspended in the air with a pod hanging below.

The metal used to construct the pod was metal that Spartak had never seen before.

From Mr. Luden, he learned that the name of this metal was aluminum.

And this huge monster has a nice name - motorboat.

"It's actually very simple."

Luden walked in front, and Spartak followed closely behind. Although he couldn't understand Mr. Luden's words, he still tried his best to remember every word.

"The three major acids and the three major alkali are easy to make, and it is not difficult to make a generator. The industrial base of Shen State is very weak, but the handicraft industry is not weak. Fortunately, I am still the richest person in Shen State..."

Spartak felt his head swell, and strange terms kept coming out of Mr. Luden's mouth.

"It is true that the efficiency of producing ammonia from three acids and two bases is not high, but I have a lot of money. Besides, Shenbang's manpower is very cheap, so I can tolerate a lower efficiency..."

It is clear that Mr. Ludden has not been idle in the past few years.

Many people believe that he has retired to seclusion and is content to be a rich man, earning miso as his only pleasure in life.

They were wrong.

Luden is secretly using technology and then astonishing everyone!

According to Luden:

Inspired by the descendants of the Saint of Love, he learned the secret of thunder and lightning.

This is not a secret, it is public news in the Kingdom of God.

The Inquisition confirmed that Miss Al is a descendant of the Saint of Love.

Luden built a secret power plant and easily pointed out the technological aspects of aluminum metal.

With aluminum, the plan of building a motorboat is much easier.

Originally, according to Luden's original intention, he planned to skip the airship and go straight to the plane.

However, the industrial foundation of Shenzhou was too weak. Ludeng spent six years and was only able to save one airship.

A trial model was built before and after dozens of flight experiments, it was found to be very safe and reliable.

When it came to the choice of gas, Luden finally chose ammonia.

This kind of gas is relatively stable, so even if it crashes, there is still some hope of survival.

The frame made of aluminum alloy supports the frame of the airship, and the interior is filled with air bags one after another to provide buoyancy for the airship to rise.

The air room is of course essential to prevent the airbag from exploding due to thermal expansion and contraction after the airship reaches a certain height.

Steam engines are placed at the front and end of the pod to drive propellers to provide forward power for the airship.

It's even equipped with a foot-operated generator as a backup power source...

In short, Luden, who traveled from the Nebula Empire, had already done a lot of homework and knew what a qualified time traveler should do.

He used the resources at his disposal to secretly build an airship!

Without the help of the Inquisition to block the news, he would never have been able to do this.

After seeing this flying fortress, Spartak was shocked and quickly came to his senses.

"You already knew that the orcs might not go south?"

"No, I don't know."
