Sky-cracking Rider

The large Conical Deflector Magical Instrument produced by Sky Dragon City is the unmatched treasure for penetrating the atmosphere, more economical and practical than the initial one-time disposable deflector.

Even when hurtling through the atmosphere like a Fire Meteor, the interior of the slowly rotating deflector remains calm and tranquil, hardly feeling the scorching heat and noise outside.

Flying at ten times the speed of sound within the ionosphere filled with plasma for nearly ten minutes, the intense flames enveloping the deflector gradually dissipated, and a long trail of condensed water vapor began to appear behind it, with the temperature plummeting to around minus one hundred degrees Celsius.

The interior temperature of the deflector did not fluctuate even one degree Celsius due to the extreme changes in temperature outside.

"Lord Illusion Dragon Clodia, we have exited the ionosphere and are slightly off course, two degrees to the left. We need to correct,"

One of the four fourth-generation "Sky Falcons" from the First Squadron of the Silan Dynasty's North District One Sky Cavalry Group, along with the two Giant Dragons inside the deflector, Sky Knight Micro confirmed the electronic signal was restored, and received the satellite positioning signal immediately.

Although Cangqiong Star is mainly a civilization of Magic and Battle Qi, it has not rejected the conveniences brought about by technological civilization in the many years of exchange with Blue Star, and examples of combining Magic Artifacts with electronic products are not rare, even showing an increasing trend.

Stubborn old fogies who insist on tradition and refuse to accept new things and new technologies are not unique to Cangqiong Star; Blue Star has many too, but after all, they are the minority. With the passage of time, they will eventually be crushed into dust by the wheels of history.

Entering Blue Star from the outer atmosphere, even following the planned route, deviating in the electromagnetically isolated ionosphere is not strange at all. However, a millimeter of error leads to a kilometer of deviation. If not corrected in time, the destination will become increasingly distant.

The information technology standards of Cangqiong Star and Blue Star are inherited from the same lineage. Even across dimensions, they can still be used without interruption, just with the addition of a stellar code to the existing digital address recognition protocol IPv6—Blue Star is "0000:", Cangqiong Star is "0001:".

A four-digit hexadecimal code can support the origin recognition of 65,535 stars, reserving space for the future conquest of the sea of stars and is completely sufficient for at least the next three hundred years.

The populations of the two planets and other Intelligent Species are not expanding fast enough to deplete the massive amount of digital address recognition codes any time soon. The IPv6 address is already a vast quantity similar to the sands of the Ganges, let alone with the additional star codes multiplying the capacity exponentially.

"Ah! I see it! Beginning correction, 800 kilometers from destination Aircrew Base 911."

The female Psychic Illusion Dragon Clodia, in charge of controlling the Conical Deflector Magical Instrument, expended a bit of spiritual power, causing the evenly rotating deflector to slightly falter before resuming normal rotation.

The flight trajectory feedback from the navigation satellite has once again overlapped with the planned route.

Among the Dragon Race, the psychic talent of the Illusion Dragons is unrivaled, not only possessing a formidable spirit that is on par with that of Cangqiong's other famous Intelligent Species renowned for their spiritual power, the Xuanyu Huang Star, but also more adept at the fine manipulation of spiritual power and creating convincingly deceptive Illusions.

The Conical Deflector Magical Instrument, from leaving Sky Dragon City, passing through the "Halo" Dimensional Gate, then entering Earth's atmosphere, and all the way to its destination, was all controlled by this female Illusion Dragon, leaving no sense of vibration or excess noise, making the cross-dimensional trip extremely comfortable and pleasant.

"We're almost there, we're almost there!"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan was especially excited, as it was her first visit to Blue Star and she was curious about everything.

The Metallic Dragons were not all stationed at Cangqiong's side of the "Halo" Dimensional Gate. Most of the newly born young dragons lived on the ground, taken care of and educated by the Silan Dynasty.

The new generation of Metallic digital dragons didn't have the old generation Metallic Dragons' plethora of bad habits and issues; their values were shaped to align perfectly with the mainstream.

This was also why the Psychic Illusion Dragon Clodia was willing to chat amiably with the Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan. As for those old Metallic Dragons that didn't know their place, they wouldn't even dream of receiving any pleasantries from her.

"Distance 500 kilometers, verify the temporary identification signal, verification passed, begin accepting guidance, recommend deceleration."

The accompanying Sky Knights were not only there as an escort, but they also carried the responsibility of navigation.

It was rare for Sky Dragon City to send out a diplomatic mission, with the destination being an Aircrew Base of Blue Star Humans. With the Cangqiong Star People acting as intermediaries, even if there were misunderstandings in the exchanges, at least there was some leeway for adjustment.

After all, there is a significant gap in the worldview between Dragons and Human Race, and it is not unusual for communications to be plagued by ambiguities and misunderstandings.

The spiritual power of Illusion Dragon Clodia fluctuated a few more times.

The speed at which the Conical Deflector Magical Instrument traveled through the atmosphere of Blue Star gradually began to slow. The initial ten times the speed of sound is insignificant for meteors and meteorites.

Most "uninvited guests" entering Blue Star's atmosphere can reach forty to fifty times the speed of sound, but they never have deceleration in mind. They plunge toward the ground, with usually not even one in ten surviving.

"Distance 100 kilometers, three times the speed of sound!"

Sky Knight Micro had done his homework before departure, but this was still his first time entering Blue Star using the Dragon Clan's Deflector Magical Instrument, and he dared not overlook any detail throughout the journey.

If anything went wrong, the two giant dragons might be unscathed, but he and his comrades would definitely be done for.

The innate physical strength of the Human Race could not compare to that of the Dragon Clan, no matter what.

Clodia reminded them, "Sky Knights, activate your 'Sky Falcons' and prepare for landing!"

This was mainly to accommodate the four Human Race Sky Knights, otherwise, even if Yilan, the little dragon, was thrown out right now, it probably wouldn't even harm a single dragon scale.

As an older aunt—no, elder sister of the Illusion Dragon species, she would definitely not have any problems.

Half a minute later, the descending "meteor" could be seen with the naked eye from the various aircrew bases in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area.

The tower announcement rang out timely within the 911 Aircrew Base.

"All units, please take notice, all units, please take notice, a diplomatic envoy from the Dragon Race of Cangqiong Star is about to arrive at our base. Please stay at your posts, and remain quiet and calm."

The Apocalypse Defense Group, which had already received the news, was quite worried that someone in the 911 Aircrew Base might have a lapse in judgment and offend the two giant dragons, leading to irreversible consequences.

Therefore, the news had been kept secret until just before the other party's arrival, and psychological counselors had been dispatched to eliminate any potential issues.

"A diplomatic envoy from the Dragon Race? What are they here for?"

"Are they here for revenge? Has 911 been abandoned?" Enjoy new adventures at m-v l|e'm,p|yr

"Quick, find a place to hide, go to the underground air-raid shelters."

"Don't run around! They are a diplomatic envoy, not a military force. Look how scared you all are, don't disgrace us Blue Star People."

"Easy for you to say, those are giant dragons, with one bite, you're gone, where would you even argue about it?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier; we didn't even have time to get psychologically prepared!"

The 911 Aircrew Base fell into chaos. The apprehensions of the higher-ups at Apocalypse Defense Group were not misplaced; the impending arrival of the Dragon Race's envoy indeed caused widespread panic. Everyone was not afraid of waging war against their own kind, as in the end, all humans could possibly be reasoned with, but reasoning with giant dragons, wasn't that just insanity?

When the Sky Dragon City's Deflector Magical Instrument appeared, many fake admirers within the 911 Aircrew Base were exposed. Daily, they claimed to be fans of the Dragon Clan, but now that they were truly here, those supposed fans were scared witless. What kind of love was that? Heeee... Puh! You're no true fan!

"Security team, check all posts; control anyone who is walking around aimlessly."

The female executive manager, Hanna Gagar, was someone who could make decisive decisions quickly, cutting through the confusion with resolution.

The security team immediately deployed, and more and more emotionally out-of-control individuals were captured and dragged away, and order began to be restored throughout the aircrew base.

A pilot from the "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron pointed up at the sky and shouted, "They're here!"

The "meteor" became a visible conical object in the mid-air, blooming into a "flower" in an incredibly surprising manner, its petals slowly rotating as it neared the aircrew base.

The conical Deflector Magical Instrument, made of twelve unconnected parts, revealed its ingenious design only during landing.

Behind the "petals," the figures of one large and one small giant dragon and four assembled combat aircraft emerged.
