Meng Chao could feel powerful energy, like magma at thousands of degrees, surging endlessly along the Fuel Pipelines between the Crystal Engines in different gondolas.
He could even faintly hear the liquid crystal fuel about to boil, roaring as though an Evil Dragon were awakening.
This was absolutely not normal.

Under normal circumstances, not even one-third of the Golden Roc's Fuel Tanks would be filled, much less would the barriers between all Fuel Pipelines be opened to connect every Fuel Tank together.
Doing so would indeed allow every Crystal Engine to unleash maximum power.
