This is a qualitative change.

Because this makes an action that originally required consuming magic power no longer need to consume any magic power.

Imagine this scenario: Due to various reasons, you have overdrawn your magic power to the upper limit, which is -10,000 magic. At this time, if deploying Thunder Feather requires additional magic, even if it only requires 1 magic, the "Thunder Feather" contract will no longer be usable until you find magic replenishment and re-release the overdraft limit.

But the consumption of [0] is different, which means that you can use it without any scruples, without considering the restrictions on magic power.

At the same time, Xia Ye also noticed that the time for "Thunder Feather" to reassemble is [10-2N] seconds, where N is the contract level.

Then, if you sign a level 5 "Thunder Feather", the re-aggregation time will be shortened to 0, which means that it will become a "no CD" skill. In addition, it does not require anything to deploy the Thunder Feather. consumption, then wouldn't he be able to continuously unfold the "Thunder Feather" into wings, and at the same time immediately bloom the wings into thunder and lightning to attack the enemy...

She couldn't help but have this picture in her mind: she was like a big firework that never stopped, banging, banging, banging, banging...

I really want to test the actual effect of "Thunder Feather" now. Remember last time Luka said that there is an abandoned city area in the lower city, which is used by many witches as a testing ground for new contracts?

Just as Xia Ye was thinking about whether to go out again, the crystal ball placed on the bedside suddenly sounded a "ding-dong" sound. She walked over, picked up the crystal ball and took a look, and found that it was Yaha who had sent it to her. A message.

The renovation work on the whaling ship was nearing completion, and Yaha asked her if she wanted to go over and take a look.

So fast? !

Xia Ye remembered that the time limit he proposed was one week, but now it has only been three and a half days, and the work is basically completed?

She quickly replied to Yaha: Go now.

"Lillian, I have to go out temporarily for something. I won't be at home for lunch."

Xia Ye walked out of the bedroom. She had already changed into the clothes she had worn out in the morning. She said hello to Lilian and walked towards the door of her house.

"Eh...well, I feel like Sister Xia Ye is busy again."

Lillian leaned out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron, obviously halfway through cooking.

"I'll be back for dinner in the evening." Xia Ye added apologetically and hurried out of the house.

Downtown area.

The No. 3 dock of "Yuan Ship Leasing" is located next to the factory that Yaha forcibly occupied last time.

When Xia Ye arrived, Yaha and Chris had been waiting outside the dock for a long time.

"Miss Xia Ye... er, sir." Yaha seemed to have not yet decided what to call her.

Chris greeted him skillfully: "Sir Xia Ye, you are here." At the same time, he bowed slightly and saluted.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Xia Ye nodded in response, "From now on, just call me 'Xia Ye' instead of 'my lord'... Ah, you finally cut off your bangs."

"After all, it was your order last time." Chris said with a wry smile.

She looks much better, but her hairstyle is still bad enough, which at least lowered her appearance rating by 0.5 points. Xia Ye commented in her heart, but did not continue the topic. What she was most concerned about now was the whale ship.

"You said the ship is almost finished?" she asked Yaha.

It was Chris who answered: "The current progress is 80%, and it will be completed in one day at most. I asked you to come here today mainly to see if there are any other needs, so that we can quickly add them before the completion."

"Then go and have a look."

"Okay." Chris nodded and led her and Yaha into the dock.



It turns out that this is the shipyard of this world.

Xia Ye looked around and thought silently.

It was very similar to the previous world. Although she had never seen the dock before traveling through time, she had a rough idea of ​​it through the Internet and TV.

If there are any differences, firstly, the shipyard here does not have a hanging tower, and large equipment or materials are basically transported up through the witch contract. More specifically, it is a witch contract that can summon a huge skeleton arm. A white bone arm with a length of more than thirty meters stretches out from the summoning array, and easily grabs various materials. Under the command of the summoner, it carefully Place them in the designated location.

Another difference is that this place is not close to the sea at all, which is easy to understand. After all, the so-called ships in this world are flying in the air. Once completed, the top of the dock will open to both sides, allowing boats to fly out directly from above.

Now Xia Ye and the three of them were riding on specially equipped broomsticks in the dock, flying slowly around the huge whaler.

Compared with the transport ship I saw in Lower City before, the whale ship in front of me looks very different.

The entire ship is long and narrow in shape, about 80 meters long, but only 10 meters at its widest point. The length-to-width ratio is about 8. It is obviously designed to pursue high speed.

The bow of the ship carries a sharp angle. According to Yaha, the angle is also a powerful weapon, but the premise is that the captain who uses this weapon must have the courage to lead the entire ship towards the whale.

In the middle of the ship's side, there are two short small wings on the left and right sides. They are horizontal wings that can control the whale ship to fly up or down. There are two huge cylinders hanging at the stern of the ship. When I first see them on a summer night, I think of jet engines.

"What's that?" she asked, pointing to the cylinder.

This time it was Yaha who answered: "YT2500 ether ramjet thruster."

"Aether... stamping?" Xia Ye heard a completely unfamiliar word.

"Ah, this is how it works..." As soon as Yaha mentioned something related to whaling, she immediately started talking non-stop. She introduced the working principle of the ether ram thruster in detail, although it was a bit verbose. , but Xia Ye still understood.

After listening, her first thought was: It seems that the witches in this world only use witch contracts.

For example, the thruster in front of you is a rather industrial-style thing.

The way it works is based on a simple principle: ether can "burn".

Ether is a very stable substance, but under high temperature, high pressure and specific magic field conditions, the structure of ether will be destroyed. This phenomenon is called "ether deflagration". During the deflagration process, ether will release Afterwards, the ether whose structure is damaged will repair itself and return to normal.

The ether ramjet thruster uses whale oil as fuel. When it works, it first inhales the ether through the magic-driven fan, heats and pressurizes the ether through the contract engraved inside, and builds a specific magic field, thereby triggering the ether detonation.

The energy released by the deflagration will be ejected backwards along the nozzle, generating thrust, thus accelerating the whaling ship. When the whaling ship accelerates to a certain speed, the ether will form an ether wind, which will blow into the cavity of the propeller from the front.

At this point the fan no longer needs to rotate, it will stop and lock the blades to save valuable whale oil. The ether wind will compress itself in a specially designed cavity, reaching extremely high temperatures and pressures. After being induced by the magic field, it will explode and be blown out through the nozzle, while new ether wind will continuously blow in from the front. , repeating this cycle, thus continuously generating thrust.

The clever thing about the ether ramjet thruster is that most of the thrust it generates comes from the energy generated by the detonation of ether, and only a very small part comes from the magic power generated by burning whale oil. In the ether sea, the most indispensable thing is ether.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the invention of the ether ramjet that the witches of Debsotta have ships that can sail in the ether sea for a long time, at high speeds, and long distances. It is precisely because of such ships that There would be a rise in the whaling industry.

"So, which genius witch invented this propeller?"

After listening to Yaha's explanation, Xia Ye asked immediately.
