At this time, the person sitting in the cab could not notice that the Longyun had changed at all. Zhuo Ziqiang could only see through the screen that the Longyun appearance was changing rapidly.

The Longyun's original narrow hull was kneaded by an invisible force, and it turned from a long strip to a circle, or a semicircle.

Zhuo Ziqiang saw the shape of the Longyun on the screen, which looked like an upside down bowl with a semicircle on the top and a plane below.

"This, isn't this a flying saucer?" Zhuo Ziqiang suddenly let out a low voice when he saw this familiar form.

Indeed, the current Longyun number looks like an UFO.

However, the flying saucer is really too big. The Longyun is as heavy as 10,000 tons. Its shape has changed, but its mass will not change.

In fact, the body consciousness of the Longyun is not too large. If it uses the technology of contemporary aircraft manufacturing to build a ten-ton aircraft, its size will be astonishingly large.

Although the current aircraft are very large, their weight is very light. The larger heavy bombers, transport aircraft and large passenger aircraft weigh only a few hundred tons. This is because the lighter the weight, the easier it is to take off, so the fuselage is all made of the thinnest materials.

The Longyun is different. Its original hull was made of thick special steel, so although it was very heavy, its size was not too large.

But a 10,000-ton aircraft is definitely a behemoth in the sky.

Zhuo Ziqiang observed the Longyun in flight mode. There are eight thrusters around its round hull, four thrusters below, and twelve thrusters in total. With so many high-consuming thrusters, no wonder it consumes so much energy in flight mode.

Ordinary aircraft mainly rely on the airflow and its high-speed inertia to fly, which naturally does not consume much energy. However, the Longyun relies entirely on thrusters to support its suspension and mobile flight, which naturally consumes huge amounts of energy.

Data shows that the flight speed of the Longyun can reach up to 950 kilometers and its cruise speed is as high as 600 kilometers, which is more than doubled to twice the speed on the water surface.

In the suspended state, only the two thrusters below the Longyun can work. When flying upward at high speed, the four thrusters below start to work at high speed at the same time.

When it moves horizontally, in addition to the lower pusher working, the two subsequent pushers also need to work at the same time.

When you want it to fly at full speed, you need to work at the four thrusters behind it to work at the same time, plus one thruster on the lower part, which means that five thrusters need to work at the same time.

These twelve thrusters have two gears: half-speed working gear and full-speed working gear to meet various speed requirements.

As for the original various weapon systems, except for the ballistic missiles that are still at the top of the hull, most of the other weapons are transferred to the circular edge of the Dragon Cloud to facilitate attacks.

The position of the driving command room has basically not changed, and is located in the middle of the semicircle with a wide field of view.

After the Longyun changed into flight mode, it naturally left the water surface and rose to a height of tens of meters away from the water surface.

Because it rose extremely steadily, the people in the Longyun can't feel anything unusual at all. However, the Longyun can now be more stable and there is no sway.

Since it is night and it is pitch black outside, people in the Longyun account have not noticed that the Longyun account has undergone major changes unknowingly.

Zhuo Ziqiang pointed and pointed on a large screen and quickly set up a general flight route, with the destination pointing directly to the island where the British Empire was located.

The British Empire was an island country like Japan. Because it was far away from the war-torn European land, its economic and military fields developed very rapidly and quickly became an extremely aggressive force.

If an island country wants to continue to develop, it will inevitably give priority to strengthening its maritime power.

This was especially true for the British Empire. For hundreds of years, its navy has been the most powerful maritime force in the world. Especially in the 18th to 19th centuries, it reached its peak during this period.

During this period, the British Royal Navy conquered countless countries of all sizes from east to west, including ancient and rich but old feudal dynasty like the Daxia Kingdom.

This maritime force not only helped the British Empire become the most economic and military power, but also helped it achieve global invincible hegemony.

Although the British Empire has gradually declined and no longer has its glory, the foundation of the old maritime power is still there, and it still has the second maritime power besides the United States.

To date, many naval officers and soldiers from member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization still need to go to the Royal Navy for training, which shows that their combat effectiveness is still excellent.

This time, Zhuo Ziqiang came to meet the oldest naval force of the Royal Navy.

"It seems that the lesson I learned last time was not profound enough." Zhuo Ziqiang couldn't help but sigh for the Royal Navy.

Although the two British Emperor ships destroyed last time caused them heavy losses, they may think that the South China Sea is far away from the local area and the failure is understandable.

This time they dared to seize Daxia cargo ships and suspected prohibited items, and they might rely on their local advantages.

They believed that no matter how powerful the Great Xia Kingdom was, they would not lead a fleet to bypass half of the earth to attack them. Even if they really came, with the maritime power of Great Britain, even if the Great Xia Kingdom poured out the entire navy, they would be defeated if they came.

But they must have never expected that this time they came, it was a flying pirate group - Dongfeng pirate group

After setting the route, Zhuo Ziqiang gave an order: "Depart at full speed"

The Longyun began to move slowly and accelerate evenly, quickly reaching the highest speed and advancing rapidly towards the northwest direction.

Everyone in the boat felt that the hull was moving forward at high speed. Liu Yaqi shouted first: "Oh, I almost fell down, why did this boat drive so hard?"

But within a short while, she felt relieved: "This is really stable, it's completely like it's on the flat ground. It's so comfortable to sit on the boat. I will never leave here again."

"Are you no longer afraid of falling into the water to feed the fish?" Christie asked her with a smile.

Although Liu Yaqi has not had much contact with Christie these days, it can be seen that she is easy to get along with and has no scruples when talking to her.

"This ship is so big, I think no matter how big the wind and waves are, they will not blow it to the bottom of the sea. You are not afraid, nor am I afraid." Liu Yaqi was completely relieved.

Looking at the time, it was already late at night, so Zhuo Ziqiang asked everyone to go back to their room to rest.

Although the speed of the Longyun is high enough, even the straight line distance from here to the British Empire is almost 16,000 kilometers. I am afraid that when I arrive at the place, it is already the afternoon of the next day.

During this period, they had nothing to do, so they had to go to bed first.

The Longyun flew over the airspace of various countries invisible state, and was not afraid of being discovered by their air defense facilities. It was still very safe along the way.

Seeing everyone out of the cab, Zhuo Ziqiang and Christie did not follow him. He stood at the front of the cab, looking at the dark night outside and the lights below, wanting to experience the feeling of flying.

After Liu Yaqi left the cab, she saw that the outside seemed to have changed a little, but asked strangely: "Sister Chuchu, do you see that there has been going on there all the time? Why has it become a corner now?"

Ye Chuchu smiled and said, "Maybe you were dazzled? Or did you remember it wrong?" She had seen Zhuo Ziqiang's operation just now and knew that the Longyun account had changed its shape, so it was not surprising.

Liu Yaqi was even more confused: "Is that so? My memory is so bad? It's so strange."

After walking to the door of her room, she shouted again: "No, look, my house and this row of rooms are all leading to the back, but now it has become a semi-bent shape?"

"I said, you may remember wrongly, go back to the house to go to bed. Do you want me to call you tomorrow morning?" Ye Chuchu said that, and pushed Liu Yaqi into her room.

Liu Yaqi shook her head in confusion and replied, "You don't need to call me tomorrow morning, I will get up early. Strange, why is it weird here?"

Ye Chuchu watched Liu Yaqi enter the house and close the door before returning to her room with a smirk.

Zhuo Ziqiang and Christie were standing at the front of the command room, enjoying the night view outside. The fiberglass at the front of the Longyun were spotless, and everything outside was in sight. Whether it was the starry sky or the lights on the ground, they all looked like a dream.

"Is it fun to fly?" Christy asked Zhuo Ziqiang from the side when he saw that he was very enchanting.

Zhuo Ziqiang nodded and said, "Yes, it looks good."

"If you fly into space, it will be even more fun. Without the interference of the atmosphere, the starry sky is even more pure, thousands of times better than this." Christie seemed to be yearning for it, and it seemed like she was recalling it.

Zhuo Ziqiang felt Christie's emotional change, hugged her and kissed her gently, and said, "Don't worry, there will be one day when I will definitely take you into space, out of the solar system, or even out of the Milky Way, maybe I can take you back to my hometown."

Christie leaned her head against Zhuo Ziqiang's shoulder, but because Christie's figure was almost the same as Zhuo Ziqiang, her posture made her look a little inconsistent.

"I'm waiting for that day to arrive, and we will hold a grand wedding. What do you think?" Christie rubbed his cheek against Zhuo Ziqiang's shoulder and asked Zhuo Ziqiang what he said.

"Wedding?" To be honest, Zhuo Ziqiang hasn't considered this issue yet.

However, since the raw rice has been cooked and is about to be cooked, it seems that a big thing is necessary to hold a wedding.

But when I returned to her hometown, I had to wait for a year or a month. Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the boundless night sky and was a little fascinated.
