Given that the Divine Fire Dragon's transformation—or rather, hatching—would take around two days.
Cheng Han did not pay it much attention and began drawing a second blueprint.
Every so often, he glanced at the scenery outside the window.
To be honest.
There was hardly any scenery to speak of when traveling long distances by airship.
The view within the Sky Connecting Path could only be described as monotonous. Whether one looked ahead or behind, all one could see was the passage stretching on without end.
It seemed endlessly long.
Whenever the Airship Squadron passed through a Spirit Branch node, the Sky Connecting Path's diameter would suddenly narrow considerably, and the passengers could not help but take a few extra looks.
Cheng Han was no exception.
He even put down his pen and conducted an analysis.
The result made him remark inwardly, "So the Divine Banyan follows science too!"
After a while.
Several passengers from first-class cabin, apparently merchants who all knew one another, entered the spacious Observation Hall together.
Cheng Han glanced at them from the corner of his eye and put away his blueprints in the Leather Case.
The designs were simply too important. It was no big deal if children saw them, but if adults did, it might lead to unexpected trouble.
Very soon.
The merchants began enthusiastically discussing the purpose of the Nodes.
"This should be to make the Spirit Branches sturdier."
"I think so too. The Nodes are thicker, so naturally they are stronger."
"The thinnest parts of the Spirit Branches are at least twenty kilometers wide! I don't think it is a matter of strength, but rather to prevent strong winds from blowing through the passage."
"That makes sense! When the node suddenly narrows so much, incoming winds are obstructed and cannot keep growing stronger."
