One of the most surprising things about the Lost Lands is that there is the word "gravity" here. In a world where mathematics does not exist at all and knowledge other than magic is quite poor, if you suddenly hear a similar term that only appears in classical physics, someone will think that you are abnormal.
But the fact is that the gravity that Midi refers to is actually what the earth calls 'gravity', but Midi's understanding of this concept is still quite superficial.
Just like the 'anti-gravity device' Lin is going to make next. The floating stone created based on the three-ring apprentice-level magic - gravity change. In fact, in use, only the floating stone itself can resist the gravity of the lost star.
Various reinforcement methods are used to firmly fix the floating stone on the airship hull to achieve the effect of freeing the airship from the constraints of gravity. The device created by this method is called an 'anti-gravity device'. But to be honest, the name is just a bit scary.
To use a simple description, to lift a ball, a certain amount of force is required. But lifting the ball with the palm of your hand is different from lifting the ball with the tip of a needle. The contact point must be handled differently. Otherwise, even if the same force is used to push the ball up with the tip of a needle, there is a high possibility that the ball will be punctured.
In actual terms, the complete buoyancy of those airships is provided by floating stones. If the quality of this so-called 'anti-gravity device' is not sufficient, the floating stones will float in mid-air, but the rest will The hull fell to the ground.
This is usually due to damage to the device that fixes the floating stone on the ship's hull. After the two are separated, the airship without support will of course only be in close contact with the ground. In order to strengthen the connection between the floating stone and the airship, various magic materials with both toughness and rigidity were piled around the floating stone as if they were free of charge.
But if they can only do this kind of thing, then Lin, the time traveler who transformed the Tower of the Great Sage, will be blind.
The reason why the water-marked copper is all over the inner wall of the cabin and the reason why the secret iron penetrates into the keel is to find a way to add the magic of gravity control to the entire hull. It would be troublesome to lift a ball with a needle, but it would be less troublesome to hold it with two hands.
However, water-patterned copper and secret iron can only be used to carve magic circles, and do not have the effect of floating stones. In this regard, Lin plans to use the results of a past study.
When I was making a magic gun, I found that the too dense power channels, that is, the patterns of the magic array, would interfere with each other. An extended study of this phenomenon is that when magic circles are within a certain distance from each other, they will resonate when conditions are met, and then amplify the effect of magic to form a larger 'whole'. In fact, this is a kind of magic circle.
So based on this foundation, can we develop a magic circle with the effect of floating stones? With this idea, Lin once completed a simulation experiment and passed various verifications. All we have to do is put it into practice and prove its effectiveness.
The floating stones that were originally supposed to be spherical were changed into thin stone slabs, which were evenly and symmetrically arranged on the entire body of the airship, and then the floating stone slabs were connected with magic arrays to form a huge resonance magic. Array. The key point is the special magic stone mechanism removed from the peaceful arms of the Silverbeard Dwarves.
A major requirement for resonance is that the magic power output of all nodes reaches a level of coordination. It is not completely the same, but has different requirements according to the quantity and arrangement position, and eventually becomes a huge magic item.
Coupled with the secret iron that penetrates into the keel of the ship, the characteristics of this magical material are not only strong enough to strengthen the keel, but also have the effect of assimilating to the surrounding magical effects. In other words, the secret iron keel will also achieve a certain degree of gravity change effect under the influence of the floating stone resonance magic array. It can be said to be the best keel repair material at the moment.
To adjust the power output of the resonance magic array, according to someone's previous method of transforming the magic tower, it depends on the number of lines of the array, which is the amount of power input. In doing so, not only the early calculations, but also the later adjustments and modifications are very labor-intensive, and a lot of raw materials will even be wasted for modifications.
But using peacefully armed special magic stone mechanisms can avoid such problems. In order to provide power to each component of the Peace Arms and thereby generate power, the energy center of the Peace Arms is an important component used to control the power output.
Able to supply multiple parts at the same time, with different supply amounts for each part. Although the silver-bearded dwarves were unsatisfactory in terms of control, the potential of the special magic stone mechanism was far beyond anyone's expectations. It can be said that the entire peace armed force actually still has potential that can be tapped.
With the peacefully armed special magic stone mechanism as the core, and coupled with Fen's control program, the large-scale floating stone resonance magic array designed by Lin worked without any surprise. Even during the experiment, if Fen's control did not reduce the output, this semi-finished airship would probably float into the air with the support of a few red-level magic stones. haha literature network
This also reflects another advantage of the improved floating stone resonance magic array. It consumes less energy than making those stone slabs into a whole, that is, a whole ball. For such a result, someone was relieved in his heart.
For Lin, setting up the floating stone resonance magic circle was a last resort. Because the existing materials are not enough to build an anti-gravity device with a floating stone as the core. The reinforcement part is not done well. I am afraid that the moment the floating stone is activated, the whole stone will break away from the airship and float directly into the air.
As for other flight methods, they are basically either facing a shortage of materials, or they only exist in theory, and someone has not even come up with the most basic design plan. For example, two V2 rockets are tied to both sides of the fusiform hull, which is enough to reach the moon in one go.
When Tripwood's improved version of the floating stone resonance magic circle and the two engines used as propulsion mechanisms are completed, it can be said that the repair of the airship has been mostly completed. The consumption of existing materials was also expected, so Lin asked Jermaine and Totokani and his daughter to make a small engine with relatively high adaptability, using oil other than light oil to serve as a generator. use.
This was of course due to the need to make effective use of the results of the two girls' busy work. Because oil and gas are difficult to collect, only a small amount is stored in special jars and used for cooking. Light oil, also known as gasoline, mainly supplies the engines of the two propulsion mechanisms. The final residue of oil refining, asphalt, is applied to the outside of the ship body, on the surface of the wooden boards and between the gaps, to provide windproof and waterproof effects.
Other types of oil, including kerosene, diesel, heavy oil, etc., are supplied to the small engine used as a generator. However, electricity cannot be stored directly in the Lost Land, so it must go through a conversion magic circle before it can be turned into power and stored in the special magic stone mechanism in the energy center of the airship.
However, the conversion efficiency of this method is very low, that is, most of the energy is converted into entropy and is wasted. But someone doesn't have time to do optimization design slowly, so he just muddles along.
After the third engine for power generation is completed, the overall work has reached the final stage.
All fuels except fuel and oil gas are poured into the power generation engine and burned. Under Jermaine's supervision, an endless stream of magical power is generated and stored in the special magic stone mechanism.
Seeing the restored power, the silver-bearded dwarf had an impulse to stuff this thing back into the peaceful arm. Fortunately, he still had some sense and knew that this was the key to escape, so he didn't do such stupid things.
The Totokani father and daughter worked with Marit and Riley, who completed the carpentry work, to fix the wings, stern rudder and two external propulsion engines into position. And it uses a mechanical boom structure to retain maximum maneuverability.
The two girls did not use any special distillation equipment and used magic to do hard work. Therefore, there is still a small part of the oil that has not been refined yet, and they are continuing to work hard. Besides, the magic power of the two of them is not enough to be used 24 hours a day. This is achieved by using all the power recovered after waking up every day for refining.
Freya went early to assist Fin in his work. Therefore, the progress of the airship control program can be said to be beyond imagination, and it has entered the third stage of integration operations.
Lin was checking the improved version of the floating magic circle again. At the same time, two magic arrays for two purposes are engraved on the water-patterned copper film on the inside of the ship. One is to control the temperature, which has been prototyped before, and the other is to pressurize the cabin. In other words, this airship went to a high altitude, not the flying height of an ordinary airship.
Seeing that the airship's repair work was about to be completed, one thing came to everyone's attention, and that was naming.
The goblin seemed to want to declare his sovereignty and name this almost new airship. Lin directly grabbed his hairless head, put it close to his ear, and said threateningly: "You can try to say something It’s a name that shouldn’t be said. Believe it or not, I will smash you into a pulp, mix it with blood, and paint that name on the outer wall of the airship.”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, please come." After getting along with each other these days, Totokani has caught the temper of this magician and knows how to deal with him. Most of the time it's easy to talk, but when you hit the bottom line, it's life-threatening. So don't take the threat as a joke, the goblin's life will be in danger.
Patting the somewhat disappointed goblin on the shoulder, Lin said: "Don't be too disappointed, this airship will be handed over to you in the end."
"Oh, is it true?" Totokani's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly. Of course he knew what the many subversive technologies on this airship meant. He even planned to use the technology here if he had the chance to build another airship of his own. But how could building it yourself be better than the one in front of you? So he can't help but be inactive.
