Ordinary airship builders will of course hope to create the most perfect work. But the reason why anti-gravity devices cannot be popularized is of course cost and technology.
The principle of this device is to use several precious magic materials to create a device called a floating stone, fix it on the airship, and take the ship body away from gravity. Not only is the manufacturing cost high, but the continuous replenishment of subsequent capabilities is also a shocking expense. The top-level floating stones are undoubtedly the top-level devices powered by Myseronic cores on those five sky islands.
On the other hand, there are very few magicians who can make floating stones, especially the larger the floating stones, the more difficult it is to make. That's not just a matter of enlarging the small floating stone several times.
In addition, it is necessary to integrate the magic array and the pipeline to supply magic power, and install it on an airship with limited space to become a veritable 'anti-gravity device'. The knowledge required is even more complex and complex.
That being said, for someone who can transform the magic tower to a point that no one else can imitate, none of the above is a problem. What's more, someone had completed the relevant design plan a long time ago, but he just couldn't find the opportunity to put it into practice. Now is a great time to experiment.
After explaining the various parts of the new airship, Lin began to assign work. "First, I will take the lead on the main hull part, and then Totokani and six other people, including Polly, Jermaine, Marit, and Freya, will be responsible for it. Then Riley, I will give you the ship-cutting knife to use. Your mission It’s about getting enough wood. I’ll give you the requirements list and specifications later.”
"Using the ship-cutting knife? Am I alone?" The simple and taciturn silver-bearded dwarf didn't know whether he was flattered or a little surprised to be excluded from important work.
In this regard, Lin explained: "Don't be fooled by the name of the ship-cutting knife. It was originally used to saw wood. As for the job of cutting wood to you, it is because although this job seems boring and Simple, but the wood needed to repair the airship cannot be used casually. There are many requirements. Including processing, it will not be easier than blacksmithing. But you can’t waste too much manpower on it. In this regard, I can only leave it to you who is the most trustworthy and capable of completing the assignment on your own. You also know what your good brother is like."
"Hey!" Jermaine yelled dissatisfied when he was glanced at with a hint.
"That's right. So leave this aspect to me." Riley gave his brother a timely stab. Of course Jermaine said again: "Hey! Am I so unbearable?"
Regardless of the dissatisfaction of a certain dwarf, Lin turned to look at his two apprentices and said, "Your job is not easy either. You have to distill and separate the oil from the original airship and purify it as much as possible." Its characteristics. However, the remaining residue cannot be discarded casually. It may come in handy depending on the situation."
"Distillation?" "Separation?" The two girls, each with a question, tilted their heads and looked at their teacher.
When he discovered that Totokani's airship was powered by fuel, Lin went out of his way to take a look at the fuel situation. Sure enough, although the oil was dug out, it was still in a very primitive state without any refining and had quite a lot of impurities.
A lot of impurities means it is easy to deposit carbon, which is the main source of black smoke. At the same time, the combustion efficiency will also be reduced, making the machine unable to exert its original designed power, and the situation will get worse.
By using distillation to separate, we do not expect to obtain aviation-grade fuel, but we must at least remove impurities and purify them as much as possible. As long as you do this, the engine life, horsepower and maintenance intervals can be increased.
So Lin said: "I have taught you a lot of relevant chemical knowledge in the past. If you still don't understand, you can read books or ask people. But don't think about relying on others for everything, just waiting for others to give orders. If you In this life, you just clean, cook, and help in experiments, so anyone can replace you. So work hard. If you want to leave this hellish place as soon as possible, I don't have time to keep an eye on your progress. "
These words were quite serious, and the expressions of the two girls became serious. From childhood to adulthood, when their teacher spoke some truth seriously and did not listen carefully, he would always change some methods to impress others, which would only lead to a lot more suffering. But someone's request caught them off guard, so they all turned to look at their elder sister.
"There's no need to look any further." Lin said, "You sisters also have things to be busy with."
When he heard his name being called, Fen cast a curious look but said nothing. Lin directly threw a list of requirements into Fen's virtual field of vision and said: "I have to trouble you about the program control part. I didn't take them to do the hardware part of the airship. I just stared at it. I would be worried. As for the software part, there is no one more suitable and more reassuring than you."
After briefly browsing the requirements, it doesn't look like something that was rushed out in a hurry. The interfaces, processes and scenarios of various mechanical controls above are quite clearly stated. There won't be any big problem in doing it; the problem is that this amount is too much.
He didn't say anything either, just looked at someone with his eyes. Lin Huiyi said: "In the early stage, when the hardware has not been completed, the program only needs to build a rough framework. Wait until the hardware is matched with the hardware in the later stage, and then adjust it together. As long as the progress allows, I will ask Freya to go I’m here to help you. Also, the requirements may change during the manufacturing process. So please pay more attention to the freedom of adjustment.”
Fen nodded and started studying the contents of the list. At this time, Uzov Gantia, who was not named, asked: "Sir Tripwood, I also need to rely on everyone's efforts to get out of this mountain alive. But I also know that for repairing the flying My knowledge is of no use in an empty boat. So where labor is needed, please let me help and do my best."
"No, no, no, I have a very important job that I must entrust to you."
"Please say."
"That's hunting."
"Hunting?" Although he was a little confused at first, Uzov soon noticed that after the airship crashed, most of the supplies and food stores were destroyed in the fire. How to ensure food sources has become the most important thing. As for water, there is a world of silvery snow outside, so there is no need to worry about the source of drinking water.
But it's really difficult for him, who was originally an assassin, to do the work of a hunter. Especially now it is still very cold in the mountains, and with the snow covering everywhere, it is even more difficult to find prey. This does not include the levels of the monsters active in the Jura Mountains. A few other hunters are just here to stuff the teeth of these monsters.
But what needs to be done must be done, otherwise everyone will starve, let alone escape alive. So Uzov gritted his teeth, patted his chest and promised, "Leave it to me."
"Oh, you're really trustworthy." After praising him, Lin turned his head and said to Kaya: "Girl, bring that rifle over."
Someone made a short gun and a machine gun, how could he not make a long gun? But there are really not many uses for the spear for this group of people.
In the war against the centaurs, a spear was of no use. Normally, self-defense is the domain of short guns. Although it has been specially adjusted for hunting functions, Kaya prefers crossbows, while Halumi is a sling, so this rifle has not had a chance to be officially unveiled since it was completed.
But now I have to ask Uzov to hunt, and this rifle will come in handy. In view of the situation where the magic bullet will cause great damage to the target object after hitting it, which means that the hit part cannot be eaten at all, the rifle has been designed to adjust.
Its attack is armor-piercing, that is, the magic bullet does not remain in the target's body, but mainly penetrates it. In this way, it is possible to avoid the expansion of the damage scope of the magic power within the target object and reduce the edible part.
Such a change caused the magic gun's attack power to drop significantly. The lethality of this rifle was not even as good as the imitation PPK the two girls were accustomed to using. This is one of the reasons why things are discarded after they are made.
However, this rifle is specially designed for hunting and is equipped with a small arcane eye and water mirror magic stone. Used together, it can detect a range within a radius of one to three kilometers, and no living thing can escape.
And because it is a magic gun, even ordinary people may use strong emotions to control the direction of the shot to a minimum during the aiming process. Therefore, as long as the target hole, front sight, and target are in line, and you have a strong psychological desire to hit the target smoothly, the enchantment effect of the gun will be that you will hit the target with perfect accuracy. The disadvantage is of course that it is easy to get mentally tired, because mental energy will be consumed during the shooting process.
After demonstrating the various functions of the rifle, Lin put the gun in Uzov's hand and warned: "Although it is very convenient to use, new weapons always have some weaknesses that we have not discovered yet, so please be careful Be careful. If you really face a threat to your life, please pull the trigger and shoot out the magic stones in the magazine with live ammunition. This approach is not the same as the original power. However, this approach , the amount of ammunition is limited. Considering that when we leave, we may need magic stones to provide power to start or operate the airship, so please use it with caution in this regard."
Uzov took the rifle and opened the life detection map, which was displayed on the water mirror screen. Because it was a rough guide map for hunting, the map displayed did not contain much useless information. It only had contour lines of simple terrain heights and light spots marking life forms.
The light spots range from white to colorful. White represents ordinary beasts without magical power, while Warcraft corresponds to its color according to the level classification of the Adventurer's Guild. As can be seen from the picture, the most numerous white light spots are of course, but there are also a few colored light spots, most of which are distributed between green and cyan, which can be regarded as mid-to-high-level Warcraft.
By the way, the group of snow wolves killed last night will appear yellow-green on the picture according to the detection of the rifle. In terms of ability value, they can be said to be the weakest monsters within the detection range, but they have a numerical advantage.
