Chapter 1527: Departure
Ning arrived at City 3 from where he was to board a ship and leave for Urelon. As he was still officially a cadet, he was tasked with the proper coordination of taking people from their
homes to the ship.
To Ning's surprise, the ship was in fact not in any of the cities and was instead outside on the surface.
As it turned out, not all of the expeditions to the outside had been for finding Spark. Some of them had been for making sure that ships hadn't been harmed.
These ships were the same ships that had brought them here from the previous moon, and it would be the same to take them away from Urelon when the time came for them to move.
There was a special duct that connected directly to the ship, from where people were boarding the ship without coming into the toxic environment of Zoultan.
The ship itself was massive, no different from a mountain of pure white metal. It was bulbous, almost spherical, similar to many of the technology in this place. And there was a small section at the bottom for exhaust.
For whatever reason, the propulsion system of the ship appeared by far
unequipped transferring nearly 2 million people at once. Ning simply couldn't figure out how they were going to get the ship to fly off the surface.
To begin with, it seemed to be made without much care for air resistance. But then again, that wasn't much of a big deal when most of the moons did not have any sort of atmosphere to them.
Ning was more than sure that people with the power of Spark were to be involved in one way or another.
Of course, this was not simply a propulsion system.
There were people all around the bottom section of the ship, pouring what seemed to be fire and air directly into the bottom of the ship through special holes built along the side panels.
One section of the ship had Breathers, capable of creating air, and the other section had Burners, capable of creating fire.
The sudden fusion of air and fire caused the air to expand at such a fast rate that the force that came out of it was enough to give enough aid to the Attracted ship that it began lifting from the moon.
Due to the situation, the escape velocity of the ship ended up being far minuscule in comparison to the original amount. At a fraction of the force, the ship was lifted off with neither the air resistance nor the mass of the ship being of much trouble.
In fact, the massive size of the ship and the sheer weight it held actually helped the Attractors make the ship lift even easier as the multiplicative force of the Attraction was more than happy to work with something this massive and heavy.
Ning saw another Connector working in tandem with the many people, coordinating them. Perhaps, this woman was even working with the Connector at the top of the ship, coordinating that way.
As the ship took flight, it quickly reached the thin upper atmosphere of the moon. As the ship continued, Ning noticed that it was slowly taking on a new direction.
The ship's movement was different from what it was, as though an external force had suddenly taken over.
Ning teleported over to the top of the ship and realized that these people were once again changing the direction of the Attraction, which was now a completely new target.
Based on Ning's understanding, they were now targeting Urelon which was in the direction where the sun shined.
As he noticed that change, another message rang throughout the ship.
"Take off successful," the voice said. "Next destination - Urelon."
