In the next two days, the sun was somewhat restrained, and the temperature dropped slightly by two degrees. Although it was still maintained at 40 degrees, it felt like a godsend in Menjie.
Early in the morning, he took the subway to the flying car terminal in Qingpu New City.
He had gritted his teeth and bought an express ticket online to Lingang in 15 minutes.
His destination today, the International Hibernation Center (IHC), is actually only two kilometers away from the school,
located on the shore of Dishui Lake.
However, after he calculated the round-trip flying ticket and the accommodation fee for two days in a hotel next to Dishui Lake, it was not difficult to make a wise decision
-it would be more economical to stay at home.
After passing through the AI security check channel at the entrance of the station hall, he didn't have to do anything along the way, and he calmly came to the flying car. Only then did he realize that the flying car he took on this trip, from the appearance, looked much more advanced than the one he took when he came back from Lingang two days ago.
"It's really an express ticket. The models of flying cars are all different... It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. Anyway, I'm going to sleep for several years..."
In the past, the flying cars he took were all multi-rotor configurations, which looked like helicopters with several propellers on top of their heads. At first, he was still a little fresh, but over time, he was no longer tempted. Every time he got on the car, he leaned on the chair and took a nap in the noise of the propellers.
But today, all the propellers of this flying car were wrapped by heavy mechanical arms, like well-behaved fans embedded in them. The whole appearance was not like a helicopter at all, but more like a sports car with arms, which was very cool.
He excitedly looked around the flying car several times, as if he was facing the toy his parents bought for him when he was a child.
The whole flying car was completely streamlined, and every face and every corner was round and smooth, not abrupt at all. Although the air was very dry, it gave people a slippery and wet feeling. The main color of the flying car is silver, and the porthole glass is a deep space blue with a sense of technology. Although the colors are different, both emit dazzling light under the morning sun. The black propellers are facing the ground at this moment, enjoying a moment of rest. After a few minutes, they will rotate rapidly, releasing huge thrust, which will produce the same amount of reaction force. Driven by these reaction forces, the entire aircraft will take off vertically. When stepping into the cabin of the flying car, Menjie felt that he had figured out its principle. There are a total of eight seats in the cabin, divided into three rows, with a 332 layout. Each seat is configured with an ergonomic structure, which can be adjusted adaptively according to the weight and body shape of the passengers. It is expensive at first glance. Menjie sat down and felt that he was sitting on a pile of money, although he had only seen those old paper money on TV. After fastening his seat belt, he couldn't help looking around and couldn't stop at all. The interior is also carefully designed. The color is mainly brown, which is very textured. The color of the skylight on the top can be adjusted according to the intensity of the surrounding sunlight, so that passengers are always in the most comfortable atmosphere. The front of the flying car is the cockpit. Although it is called a cockpit, there is actually no driver. Automatic driving has taken over everything as early as ten years ago. However, the flying car manufacturer is obviously very sincere and ceremonial. A complete set of instrument panels are still placed in the cockpit, which displays various information related to the flying car and flight status in real time. Although it has not taken off yet, this information is temporarily static, but if the passenger stands in front of this row of instrument panels and looks forward through the wide front windshield, he can still take in the entire central station and have a feeling of being in control of everything. "The configuration of this flying car is called a tilt-rotor duct, which is more advanced than the traditional multi-rotor configuration." The middle-aged man sitting next to him seemed to see the curiosity in his eyes and explained. Menjie nodded to express his gratitude. At this time, the prompt sound in the cabin sounded. "Dear passengers, welcome to the 'Lingyun 920' flying car of Tengyunjiawu Company. Today we will fly from Qingpu Terminal to Lingang Center Station. It takes a total of 20 minutes and the flight altitude is 1,000 meters. Please fasten your seat belts and get ready to enjoy a short and comfortable air journey." "It's faster than the trip back the day before yesterday. It's really more advanced..." Menjie thought. The propeller in the mechanical arm outside the window began to rotate rapidly, making a low "hissing" sound. The flying car rose vertically steadily and flew off the ground. During this process, he saw no less than ten flying cars rising at nearby stations, like butterflies out of cages, rushing to their respective destinations, and more than a dozen flying cars came from different directions, like birds returning to their nests, ready to land. Early in the morning, the city has entered the rhythm of three-dimensional rhythm. When the flying car reached the flight altitude, the mechanical arm outside the car quickly rotated 90 degrees, driving its embedded propeller parallel to the ground,

turning the original upward lift into forward thrust.
Flying towards Lingang.
Menjie did not take the opportunity to take a short rest as before, but greedily looked at the land and the prosperous Shanghai under his feet.
There were not many clouds in the sky, but fortunately the sun was not yet scorching.
In the bright and bright yellow morning sun, the busy traffic on the elevated road and the pedestrians running on every road like capillaries were like ants at this moment.
You can only see the surge of the group, but not the individual style. Large tracts of green land and residential areas were interlaced, and soon gave way to increasingly tall buildings, whose curtain walls shone in the sun.
When the flying car flew across the Huangpu River along the route, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
On both sides of the Huangpu River, which is like a winding ribbon, the high-rise buildings that have existed for decades still occupy the best viewing positions, as if they are watching the long dragon under their feet. On the port side, you can see the "three-piece suit" of Lujiazui. They continue to support the height of this city and may not be surpassed for a long time. On the starboard side, you can see the sea in the distance. At this moment, the sea water looks completely still and harmless to people and animals. It is hard to imagine that just a few days ago, they were madly pouring towards the shore. Although the waves were blocked by the automatic lifting flood control dikes built along the coast, they still eroded the city's precarious fresh water supply. "My hometown is such a beautiful city, such a beautiful world... After a few days, let's say goodbye temporarily..."
