"Okay, that's all I'll say about the improvement plan for the appearance of the new fighter aircraft." Linn described the shell shapes of several of the Federation's most advanced fighter aircraft. Of course, he used his own research on fluid mechanics as an excuse. Then Dennis and others were asked to build a wind tunnel and conduct preliminary experiments on the ground. After confirming that there were no problems, they would consider flying the actual machine...
Supersonic fighters are extremely fast and cannot tolerate any mistakes. If the appearance design is not reasonable enough, the sound barrier when breaking through the speed of sound will become a fatal blade, causing the fighter to become unbalanced and even tear the fuselage apart, causing a very horrific air crash.
However, Lin En has full confidence in the research and development of supersonic fighter aircraft, because he has avoided most of the problems that will be encountered in the design, which is equivalent to directly announcing the correct answer, saving decades at once Time for research and improvement.
This is undoubtedly a bit of a backfire. If the parliament was not facing a cross-border war, Linn would not directly show Dennis the most perfect hydrodynamic structure. After all, correcting mistakes is a very valuable experience.
Dennis kept several design drawings drawn by Lynn firmly in mind, and even Lydia and others were no exception, because the shape and structure of the aircraft on these drawings looked extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye. It's a work of art!
Tim hesitated to speak, and after a while he said worriedly. "Speaker Linn, if the speed of the fighter plane continues to increase, will the pilots inside feel unbearable or unable to react quickly during the battle?"
"You underestimate the limits of what humans can achieve. As long as you undergo corresponding training, there is no big problem in withstanding high pressure several times the acceleration of gravity." Linn explained.
Before federal researchers deciphered the genetic modification technology, supersonic fighter pilots were selected from ordinary people. Since they had no problems, let alone wizards with stronger physical fitness and faster reaction capabilities. !
The only thing that needs to be considered is how the fighter pilot can distinguish between friend and foe while flying at high speed.
At the technological level, radar is usually used to solve the problem, but this is obviously not safe enough because the other party may have some means of shielding or interfering with electromagnetic fields.
Therefore, Lin En plans to add a layer of insurance, using the position of each fighter plane as the base point, to build an airspace network that can sense magic, and realize real-time sharing of information and distinguish between friend and foe through the magic network link of the intelligent brain.
During the battle, the targets in the air and connected to the magic network are your own people, and the rest are enemies that need to be dealt with.
"In this way, you don't have to worry about the most critical issue of finding enemies." Dennis nodded, and then continued to ask. "Then should we burn wind-proof arrays on the outer shell of the fighter plane as usual to slow down or eliminate the impact of the shock wave..."
"No, there is no need for the wind protection array. This will increase the wind resistance of the fighter plane, thereby reducing the speed..." Lin En shook his head.
Although the windproof magic is easy to use, its working principle is to create a pointed cone-shaped magic barrier in front of it that is constantly flowing to separate the airflow. It is very useful when flying at low speeds, but not at high speeds.
Because the output speed of magic power cannot keep up with the flight speed of the fighter plane, the barrier itself will be torn apart by the continuous high-speed airflow.
Lin En suggested that they could consider coating a layer of graphene on the outer shell of the fighter plane. Once activated, it would form an electromagnetic shield around the fighter plane, which is enough to effectively resist some low-level magic attacks. The most important thing is that it can Preventing the driver from being harmed on an external mental level—this is what fighter pilots fear most.
After thinking about it, Linn took a drawing, wrote a chemical formula, and handed it to Dennis. "This is the method of making Eternal Flame. You can try to use it in the development of offensive weapons for fighter planes, but...be careful!"
After being promoted to Legend, chlorine trifluoride is no longer his most important means of attack, so it is time to join the wave of industrial production. Only large-scale mass production can truly unleash its power!
Dennis took it over very solemnly. He had heard about the horror of this thing, and it could swallow almost all known elements as nourishment.
Tim looked at the blueprint in Dennis' hand with great envy. Eternal Flame was one of the few ways that a great wizard like them could threaten the Legend.
Before this magic star could complete his promotion, he used it to kill the legendary priest Edwell!
After Lin En gave the chemical equation for making chlorine trifluoride, he also did not forget the other purpose of coming to the Alchemy Research Institute this time, which was to second some halflings to contact Raphael and others outside the time and space gate. .
Dennis didn't pay much attention to this. With Tim's promised full support, the help of these halflings was dispensable. It didn't matter how many or how few.
Lynn left a book on fluid mechanics for Dennis to study on his own. Then he called Lydia, Darren and others and told them about the news that the exploration team had discovered a group of halflings outside the time and space gate.
"That means our ancestors may have come from outside the gate of time and space?" Darren said in shock after listening to Linn's story.
"It is indeed possible." Linn nodded, and then said with a smile. "But does it matter where you come from? Nowadays foreign lands are almost becoming forbidden places for living creatures..."
Naturally, Darren and others have never thought about following the footsteps of their ancestors and returning to a foreign land. The halflings have been rooted in this continent for hundreds of years, and this is their homeland.
"In short, I need to select a few of you to carry out a dangerous mission - to assist Master Raphael and go to foreign lands to detect intelligence..." Lin En told all the goals of the mission and possible risks. Again.
He did not mean to force these halflings to order, but followed the principle of voluntariness.
After all, after arriving in a foreign land, the parliament's control over them will become extremely weak. Even the magic network cannot connect there, and Raphael cannot cover everything, and all actions must be done consciously.
All the halflings hesitated. According to the magic star, the world outside the door of time and space is not only very cold and cannot see the sun, it is also filled with a large number of dangerous monsters. If you are not careful, you may die somewhere. in a corner.
"Leave it to me!" Darren gritted his teeth and was the first to agree.
"I'll go too, I'll go too!" Lydia agreed enthusiastically.
"No, Lydia, you should stay at the Alchemy Research Institute first. The test flight of the new fighter plane still needs suitable manpower." Lin En shook his head. Lydia's personality is not suitable for intelligence work. It would be a bad thing, so it is better to stay. It's better to be in the royal capital.
After Darren and Lydia spoke one after another, the other four halflings soon stood up and expressed their willingness to take on this dangerous intelligence investigation work.
"Very good, as long as you can complete this task, I will give you special permission to join the Magic Network and become a wizard!" Linn promised.
Hearing this, Darren and others immediately became excited. In the Magic Kingdom, wizards are a symbol of power, right and status. Halflings like them who have no magical talent will never be able to do anything without external help throughout their lives. Way to become a wizard.
Lin En's words undoubtedly represent an opportunity to reach the sky one step at a time.
The halflings who had hesitated because of fear were annoyed and regretful. Although foreign lands were dangerous, taking risks was nothing compared to becoming a wizard.
"Speaker Lynn, when will we set off?" Darren asked impatiently.
"About a week later." Lin En then said. During this period, they still have to learn how to use some instruments, as well as the common language of other worlds...
Raphael sent a prisoner over before, and he should be able to get a lot of information from the other party's mind.
PS: The number of words today is relatively small. Let me sort out the plot and see how to write it more interestingly. Recently, due to the opening of a new map, there will be slightly more foreshadowing chapters. After all, there are a lot of things to explain. I should have finished them in the church chapter before, but there were many people pushing for progress, so I wrote it quickly. Some of the content is only I can write it now.
