Sword Hilt: Thirty-six wind-blowing shells, meticulously tuned by Sky Island craftsmen, arranged in a Bagua formation.
Each shell's surface is etched with intricate patterns, and when energy flows, blue light trails emerge.
Franky's personally designed cola power converter is hidden in the sword guard, occasionally making a "gurgling" sound.
Passenger Area: A foot-stepping area approximately two meters wide, with antique-style anti-slip patterns etched on the surface.
A translucent protective shield rises along the edge, Carrera Company's latest invention, using bubble coral coating technology, which doesn't obstruct the view and prevents passengers from falling.
The protective shield also thoughtfully displays the "Three Essentials of Sword Riding":
1. Stand firm and hold on.
2. No spitting allowed.
3. Do not attempt if you have acrophobia.
"Test pilot Blueno is in position!"
The burly Blueno, wearing ill-fitting white ancient clothing with price tags still hanging from the cuffs, tremblingly stepped onto the flying sword. He was tied with a safety rope around his waist and carried an emergency parachute on his back, looking like a zongzi forced into cosplay.
To better go undercover, he chose to join this flying sword manufacturing process, as they suspected that Iceberg and others might use technology from the Pluton blueprint!
"Sword, come!"
Following the activation command, the wind-blowing shell array activated simultaneously.
Cyan-blue airflow surged from the sword hilt, stirring up a strong wind in the dock.
The flying sword emitted a dragon-like hum, wobbling as it floated upwards—
One meter... three meters... five meters...
"Ahhh, I'm going to fall!" Blueno desperately clung to the railing on the sword hilt, his knuckles white. "This thing is harder to ride than a bull!"
The engineers below frantically operated the control console: "Adjust the shell array output! Insufficient wind on the west side!"
"Don't panic!" The chief engineer shouted, holding a physical copy of "The Snowy Path of the Blade XX," "Think about how Xu Fengnian rode his sword in the novel! You need to become one with the sword!"
"The novel didn't say anything about wearing a seatbelt!" Blueno cried with a long face. His wig had been blown askew by the airflow, hanging diagonally by his ear like a comical earmuff.
Just then, an unexpected situation occurred!
The sword body suddenly vibrated violently, and the protective shield emitted a strained "crackling" sound.
On the monitoring screen, the indicators for three wind-blowing shells instantly turned red.
"The sword is going to crash! Activate the emergency plan!"
"No! Below is the Mayor's favorite viewing fountain!"
At this critical moment, Franky suddenly pressed a red button.
Ten cans of Super Cola suddenly ejected from the tail of the flying sword. With the recoil, the flying sword narrowly hovered just half a meter away from the fountain sculpture.
Blueno's wig finally completely fell off, swaying down to land on the sculpture's head.
And this terrified test pilot was currently hugging the sword body like a koala, constantly muttering, "I want more money... I must get more money..."
The video of this accident made it to TikTok's hot search that night:
-#Water 7 Sword Riding Scare# 120 million views
-#The Importance of Wigs# 500,000+ related imitation videos
-Franky Cola Propulsion System Patent Pending
Iceberg Mayor looked at the surging tourism reservations and gave the stiff Blueno a kind smile: "Are you ready for the second test flight tomorrow? This time we've prepared two wigs."
Meanwhile, in the shadows, CP0 agents were frantically taking notes: "Recommend listing'Sword Riding Technology' as a military secret... Wait, why is that idiot pointing the observation mirror at the women's bathhouse again?!"
...
After seven days and seven nights of emergency work, the engineers at Carrera Company finally controlled the "Sword Riding" failure rate to below 15%!
According to Iceberg Mayor: "Much higher than the survival rate in the New World sea, it can be fully commercialized!"

"We expect to start trial operations next month," Iceberg announced to the arriving reporters. "We've already received an order from Mary Geoise—a Celestial Dragon requested a custom golden flying sword, saying it should be exactly like the one described in 'battle through the heavens.'"
Just then, a loud bang came from the test site.
The experimental flying sword was seen going out of control, charging towards the city hall, dragging a long tail flame behind it.
The engineers chased after it, shouting, "Get out of the way! This sword has achieved 'man-sword unity'!"
Everyone was "???"
Iceberg wiped away a cold sweat and turned to whisper to his secretary, "Go increase the liability insurance coverage tenfold..."
Man-sword unity, but the nonsense here is too perfect, it can once again get their flying swords a wave of publicity!
