The next day.
The sky is clear and the air is fresh, with not a single cloud in sight.
After Jiang Cheng finished his breakfast, he jogged around the beach in front of the villa twice and came to an open space near the villa.
At this time, he turned on his mobile phone, called up the construction system of the Tropico APP, and began to browse it carefully.
As his fingers slid, various infrastructures, skyscrapers, super factories, and 3D models of future projects flashed before his eyes like slides.
Every time Jiang Cheng sees these high-tech mega projects, he can't help but feel yearning. He wishes he could build them all in one go and create the city of the future in his inner world. However, he also understands that this takes time and cannot be achieved overnight.
So, suppressing his excitement, he continued browsing until his fingers felt sore.
At this time, a peculiar car model appeared in Jiang Cheng's sight. It was similar in size to an ordinary car, but had four smaller wheels and a pair of foldable seagull-like wings. The streamlined body with a high-tech feel and the dazzling dark black paint gave it a full metallic texture.
If I have to describe it in one word, it would be "crazy cool and awesome"!
Jiang Cheng glanced at the top of the 3D model of the car, where its relevant information was displayed.
[Name]: 'Transformer' flying car
[Properties]: Water, land and air
[Maximum speed]: 180km/h
[Maximum range]: 2000km
Cost: US$800,000
[Time Consumed]: None
[Evaluation]: The first generation of "conceptual-level" flying cars, a test product of the "TSL-X" aircraft. The Transformer flying car can take off vertically without a runway, has a spacious interior and is comfortable to ride, and is a solution for future transportation.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes had turned into searchlights, shining brightly!
"This is definitely a system of black technology!"
No obstruction to water transportation!
Act fast!
This is the main feature of the Transformer flying car. With it, Jiang Cheng can go up to the sky and on the sea very conveniently, and it can provide great help for his survey of Emerald Island.
Although a 3D model of the island can be generated with the help of the system's auxiliary planning function, Jiang Cheng feels that some things are better done personally, which at least allows him to have a clear idea of the island under his name.
Moreover, he has always had some extremely creative and grand ideas, which can only be implemented if he knows the Emerald Isle well enough.
After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Cheng decided to investigate it personally.
Jiang Cheng did it as soon as he thought of it. He stretched out a finger and tapped directly on the model of the Transformer flying car. After a ripple-like light wave appeared, a striking prompt box popped up in front of him, and at the same time, the system's mechanical prompt sound rang out.
"Ding..."
"The Transformer Flying Car is a system-related product. It can be produced without building a factory. It doesn't take a long time. The cost is 800,000 US dollars. Do you want to produce it?"
"yes!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Cheng answered directly and straightforwardly with a determined look.
800,000 US dollars may seem expensive to buy a car, but you have to know that the Transformer is not an ordinary car. It is a combination of a car, a yacht, and a private jet. It can be used on land, sea, and air. It is fast and convenient. This is very worthwhile for Jiang Cheng, who currently lacks a means of transportation.
“Ka-ka…”
As soon as the words fell, a crisp mechanical combination sound was heard.
Jiang Cheng's eyes became sharp and he stared straight at the open space in front of him.
Sure enough, a magical scene appeared!
Circles of dazzling blue halos appeared out of thin air, and dense data light spots kept flashing and rapidly converging in the middle, instantly transforming into a domineering luxury convertible sports car!
The brand new cool deep black paint, the streamlined body with a full sense of technology, and a pair of folding gull-like wings make it look like a ferocious bird of prey spreading its wings and ready to fly, breathtaking!
TSL-X, the shapeshifter!
"I'll just call you Xiao Hei!"
Jiang Cheng looked at the luxurious car in front of him with a smile, feeling extremely satisfied, and gave it a name casually.
The next moment, he jumped out, opened the car door and got in.
The way of driving a flying car is similar to that of a modern car, except that it has two special functions: one is super acceleration and the other is flying function.
For the veteran driver Jiang Cheng, driving a flying car is not a difficult task. It didn't take him much time to fully master Xiao Hei's driving method.
Flip the switch!
Instrument self-check!
Release the flaps!
Start your engines!
Push the accelerator!
Pull up the joystick!
Turn the rudder!
Jiang Cheng opened his hands left and right, and after a dazzling operation, Xiao Hei was already roaring and slowly flying up.
As the altitude continued to rise, Jiang Cheng's vision became wider and wider. The blue sea, golden sand, white waves, and green peaks in the distance, all kinds of beautiful scenery were within his sight.
“Ouch~~”
Feeling the infinite beauty before his eyes, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a loud shout. This feeling of flying was so exciting!
Jiang Cheng, who was in excitement, suddenly stretched out a finger and directly pressed the super acceleration button!
"Boom boom..."
Suddenly, Xiao Hei let out a loud roar, and a dazzling blue flame spurted out of his tail. Then he spread his wings and soared into the sky, riding the oncoming sea breeze.
…
In the next few days, Jiang Cheng completely transformed into a hardworking little bee and became busy on the Emerald Island. He drove Xiao Hei over mountains and across lakes, and was everywhere. He went out early and came back late almost every day. With the convenience of Xiao Hei, his footprints had covered the entire island in just a few days.
Then, combining some geological, hydrological, climatic and other information provided by the system, Jiang Cheng figured out the basic situation of Emerald Island. He even named some major outlying islands, mountains, lakes, rivers, bays, beaches and other geographical units, and finally formed a comprehensive map of Emerald Island.
Through the investigation over the past few days, Jiang Cheng has a deeper understanding of the Emerald Island under his name.
…
In fact, Emerald Isle is not just an isolated island.
There are 12 outlying islands nearby, the largest of which is Ivory Island, which is 15 square kilometers in size, and the smallest is Octopus Island, which is only 0.3 square kilometers in size.
These outlying islands of various shapes are scattered in a chain-like manner to the southwest of Emerald Island. Looking down from the sky, they look like a string of emerald green pearls.
The main island, Emerald Island, is a typical volcanic island formed by the eruption of an undersea volcano. There are as many as seventy dormant volcanoes in the northern part of the island, with unique landforms and beautiful scenery.
Emerald Island has a special geographical location, located in the border area of the western Pacific Ocean, 880 nautical miles from the Hachimiya Island Base, 1,120 nautical miles from Subic Bay Port, and 1,750 nautical miles from Taro Island.
The three major bases surround the Emerald Island in the center, which is also the reason why Jiang Cheng has always been troubled.
