Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

The materials for the energy center of the Peace Armed Forces are available, but construction will not start for the time being. The reason Lin gave is also very simple. Now the atmosphere in Abadan City is weird. Jermaine intends to directly carry out the restoration work of the peaceful armed forces in such an environment, or find a quieter and peaceful environment before starting. the study?

Although the silverbeard dwarves are urgent, they also accept this reason. Rather than repairing the peaceful armed forces as soon as possible, it is more important to keep secrets from outsiders. Maybe the human magician and Lich were forced to join the repair work. But let more people have the opportunity to spy on the secrets of the peace armed forces, it is estimated that they will want to hang themselves.

So in Abadan City, in the officially designated workshops, everyone’s work is still centered on the reconstruction of the Sid.

The original plan was to add a transmission gearbox to the engine, and at least one more reverse gear. But because the materials sent were a lot more, Lin planned to add a high-speed gear in addition to the reverse gear and the original one-to-one gear, and also design an additional file position that could use magic power to drive the propeller blades. Avoid the airship can only float when there is no fuel.

If there is no magical power, even floating does not raise. Coupled with the design of the Sid, it simply cannot provide the buoyancy of flight. So the reverse situation, that is, there is fuel but no power reserve can be ignored. Anyway, it is impossible to leave the ground.

The other is to cancel the buoyancy control throttle valve and integrate this function into the rudder. At this point, there is no major structural change. The main work is still on Finn, that is, the program modification. Just a few days ago, in addition to helping Kaya to organize the forum data, Fen also carried out the integration of the rudder function.

the past few days to transform the Sid, Fen also boarded the airship together, implemented the program and performed a simulation test.

But such corrections are not easy. In the simulation test of Fen’s integrated program, there will always be some weird errors. For this reason, Lin also re-examined the operation of the Shide.

First of all, this airship is less and less like Earth’s aircraft. There is no reversing design for normal propeller aircraft. In order to maintain buoyancy, the propeller can only rotate continuously. It will stop only when the engine breaks down or the landing stops.

But the current propeller blades of the Sid, not only have a variable speed design, but also reverse. In addition, the ascent and descent of the airship is not determined by the elevator, but by the floating magic array.

It is more like operating a submarine than controlling a propeller plane. It’s just that this submarine is not in the water, but floating in the air, and it can do some fighter maneuvers, and it’s fast.

After discovering this difference, I discussed with Lich, who was mainly responsible for the procedure, and corrected many of the mistakes in the original idea. This made progress in the integration of the rudder.

Among the new equipment scheduled to be added, the top priority is of course the parachute. The reverse function of the engine cannot completely replace the function of the deceleration parachute. Each has its own timing, so it is difficult to choose one device and discard the other.

The design of the deceleration umbrella is the easiest and most difficult part of this transformation. Simple refers to simple materials, simple structures, and simple control methods. The difficulty lies in how to fold the umbrella so that it can be opened smoothly and completely. At this point, someone has no clue, so it is very irresponsible to leave it to others for research.

Two apprentices, plus the silverbeard dwarf Marit, Freya, Riley, and the goblin Polly, the six people studied in this way, really let them study some famous. Therefore, the parachute device placed at the stern of the ship was made up of three, and all of them were installed. These parachute devices can be recycled and discarded in the air so that they can be used flexibly in various situations.

Apart from this, because I learned from Totocani that the fuel that can be found in Midi is like the crude oil used before the Hindenburg, which has not been refined. But the fuel used in the Sid’s engine is the product of fractionation and removal of impurities. If you have to pour crude oil into it for use, the engine will have to be a great cultivator immediately or even scrapped.

I originally wanted to use refined techniques to hold the goblins, but later realized that doing so would only pit myself into it. At the place where they were killed in the Jura mountain range, the two girls only refined the crude oil on the airship, and they were all finished almost just before they left. is it possible that such a thing will be repeated in the future.

In order to save trouble and improve efficiency, it is bound to need industrial grade refining equipment. So the question is, where is it installed?

Now the entire group is still in a state of no fixed place. Even if the petroleum refining equipment is put into the carriage, it will be inconvenient to move the carriage because the center of gravity of the equipment is too high. Not to mention refining crude oil on the go.

Considering the weight of the equipment, the airship adds additional power consumption for the floating magic array due to its weight. The refined heavy oil is used in the Generator, and then converted into power for storage, and the fractionation tower itself The required consumption and the size of the refining equipment with the best economic efficiency are enough to fill the cabin that was originally used as a warehouse.

Of course, the pursuit of the best economic benefits is to build an oil refinery. Unfortunately, it’s still the old question, where is it covered? It is too difficult for a wandering person to build a factory. Before that, you have to settle down first.

Because there is nothing else to do, and because I want to leave this place as soon as possible, the restoration of the Sid is in full swing. It only took six days to complete the aforementioned work. But standing in the airport in the sunset, looking at the airship in the dim sun from the outside, someone always feels that there is still something imperfect?

Everything I can think of is added to the Sid. The problems found during the first flight have all been improved. The rest should be to continue to verify the reliability of each device in flight.

But…what seems to be missing?

Someone tilted his head thinking.

Other participating people stood side by side by Lin’s side. Most of them were satisfied, watching this unprecedented airship, completing it bit by bit in their hands.

But two of them looked at everything in the past few days in disbelief as if they were in a dream. They are Abadan Airport, the administrator responsible for collecting taxes-Hassan Bakhsh, and General Javid Poole’s most favored young adjutant-Rashid.

The former is the official person who is most familiar with airship-related affairs and has come forward to coordinate many issues. The latter serves as the liaison between the two parties and the military representative responsible for coming forward to requisition the materials required by the magician.

They joined the airship renovation project as it should be by rights, but it is not the labor part, but the supervision, and secretly record the various parameters of this new ship, Pros and cons. Someone does not shy away from these ulterior behaviors and allows others to watch. Anyway, judging from the other’s dumbfounded expression, most of them should be unintelligible.

Even the officially designated workshop owners and the craftsmen underneath assisting in the transformation work, who have decades of experience in manufacturing and repairing airships, have been at a loss during these six days. Originally, they wanted to see if this famous former Great Sage tower master could inspire them some creativity.

Who knows that there are so many new gadgets that their eyes are dazzled, and they don’t know where to start. From the design drawings of the parts, to the manufacturing process technology, and some equipment of unknown purpose, these things, although each step is perfectly clear. But no one can figure out how to do it, and if you want to copy it, you can’t copy it.

Just like someone’s self-confidence, without a solid enough foundation, you can’t see the reason just by looking at it. It’s just that this awkward feeling that seems to be missing something, where does it come from? Lin in the heart is puzzled.

When he came to someone, Lich also looked at the airship, with a faint sense of pride in his heart. Whenever I finish a work that I am satisfied with, I always feel this way. For example, in the past, creating skeletons with transcendent realms, or the Knights of Death with coordinated attack skills, thinking of how these creations could help her defeat the old gods, there was an indescribable sense of joy in her heart.

It’s just that someone squashed her mouth and looked at the newly completed Sid with a dissatisfied look. She was puzzled and asked: “What’s the matter?”

“There is always It feels like it’s not finished yet.”

A certain Lich asked casually, and someone answered smoothly. Instead, he caught the hint of inspiration and thought of what he lacked. Lin grinned obscenely, rubbed his hands, walked towards Rashid, and said: “Adjutant, do you think the airship is so ugly, do you sponsor us some more paint to beautify the appearance?”

Young The general’s adjutant wrinkled the pair of beautiful eyebrows, appropriately expressing some dissatisfaction. This is because he is familiar with the character of this man, and only after he knows that the other party is a negotiable person, did he dare to do such a move. To put it bluntly, the other party is not suitable to be a robber.

From the standpoint of the Gwana Empire, Rashid is of course impossible to let the magician get what he wants. In particular, such requirements are still not mentioned in the original agreement, and are purely additional requirements.

If the opponent is too weak, how can you manage this kind of thing? He hit the ticket directly.

The opponent cannot afford to offend. Therefore, Rashid’s frowning action was only a slight expression of his opinion. But he would still cooperate with someone’s request and ask: “Your Excellency, I don’t know how much paint you need, do you have a designated color?”

Before the chemical industry flourished, paints and pigments were expensive in unit prices. Expensive materials, not all who can afford it. So in the face of magician’s additional requirements, Rashid of course had to ask carefully.

And this time, someone is really lion’s big mouth, saying: “I want the amount that can paint the entire airship appearance. As for the color, Hallumi, ──” He called his apprentice, searched for something from his own picture database, and displayed it in front of everyone, “──Look at how much material is needed to paint such a pattern on the outside of the Sid.”

It doesn’t matter. After watching it, everyone looked at a magician who was immersed in their own world and smug with contempt. The picture shown is of a classic beach, palm trees, and a beautiful blonde with big breasts in a bikini lying on her side.
