Main Text Volume Chapter 422 Wherever the Ship Goes, It Is the Sea
The last time they encountered danger in the ice cave, the main reason was that Isabel's residual soul revived without warning. Now, Isabel has returned to the soul realm, so there is basically no great danger in the ice cave except for the cold.
After Angel chose the materials, he planned to stay in the ice cave to do alchemy nearby.
In order not to expose the secret of the holographic tablet, Angel still opened the nightmare realm and opened the boundless silence for this refining. After achieving double protection, he took out the materials to prepare for alchemy.
He had two goals for alchemy this time: first, to refine the illusion props for Greya. Second, to refine a flying vehicle.
He planned to refine the flying vehicle first, because he had already completed the preparatory work for refining the vehicle in the surface world of Waterglass, and he could refine it as long as the materials were gathered. As for the illusion props for Greya, he did not have a specific plan yet, and it would take some time to think about it.
The core part of the vehicle is the power device. He did not bother to study this part, but planned to use the blueprint of a micro power device that already existed in the "Basic Alchemy Collection".
Its name - Leaping Core.
The Leaping Core is the most cost-effective among all similar power devices, and he can also gather the required materials.
After choosing the power device, he must also choose a shell that can adapt to the Leaping Core and drive it. Although this part is not as important as the power device, it is the most critical step. After all, if you want to have a superior user experience, the appearance is very important. Moreover, this step also requires the selection of the future direction of the vehicle by engraving magic patterns, or blending and mechanical alchemy.
In the "Basic Alchemy Collection", the Leaping Core power device has many types and branches that are compatible, including flying vehicles with floating magic patterns, mechanical alchemy that can be transformed into land vehicles, and vehicles on the water.
There are single types and composite types. The so-called composite type is actually a vehicle that can be used on sea, land, and air.
But generally speaking, composite vehicles basically need to use magic array enchantment instead of magic pattern enchantment. This means that the refined transportation vehicle is likely to be above the middle level.
He did not dare to refine props above the middle level for the time being, because he himself could not guarantee that he would be able to successfully survive the aura. Moreover, the aura he created last time was already eye-catching enough. If he made a fuss again in a short period of time, it would be too high-profile. Now he had to keep a low profile, especially on someone else's territory.
Therefore, the transportation vehicle he planned to refine was not a composite one.
As for which single type of vehicle, there is no need to think about it. It must be the fastest and most convenient flying vehicle.
After determining the type of vehicle, the next step is to determine the appearance of the vehicle.
Angel flipped through several pages in a row. The shell drawings that can accommodate and operate the leaping core to the maximum extent are mainly light. Most of them are made into shuttle shapes, and the thinner the better, which can guarantee speed priority to a large extent.
But Angel considered that there might be multiple people in the vehicle... After all, he still had to take Dodolo with him, and he couldn't let him stay in the bracelet all the time. So he didn't plan to choose a vehicle shell that was so thin that it was almost like a knight's sword.
And even if it was thinner, as long as the same power device was used, the change in appearance would not increase the speed much.
So, it would be better to choose a more spacious and comfortable vehicle.
"Magic carpet? Although it is easier to clean, it needs to be engraved with an additional protective magic pattern.".
"Floating cabin? It looks good, and the furnishings inside can be designed by yourself, but is it too luxurious? It can be considered for the time being."
"Single-person airship? It looks a bit too bloated."
"Broom? Although it is very common, multiple people sitting side by side on the broom handle are too beautiful to look at."
"Tail grass? Omitted."
There are about dozens of shells suitable for this power device and suitable for flying vehicles in the book. Angel flipped through them one by one, and most of them were rejected by his subjective consciousness.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on a small vehicle for riding.
This is a small boat, which looks a bit like the boats rowing in the Waterglass Channel. However, this boat is curved at both ends, like a crescent moon. From this point of view, it is very similar to the Venice "gondola" that Angell saw in the Earth documentary.
But if you put aside the two ends, from the structure in the middle, it is somewhat similar to the black-winged boat. It is divided into two areas, front and back. The front area is not blocked, and the back area has a semi-covered closed compartment with a starry sky curtain.
When he saw this boat, Angell's eyes lit up.
According to the shape of the boat, it is no problem to accommodate two people, and the two ends can be folded and split according to the design drawing, which can save a lot of space. After all, there is not much storage space in his bracelet.
The appearance is also very delicate, with curved eaves and corners, and carved stars and moons.
After comparing with other shells horizontally and vertically, Angel finally chose this crescent boat as the shell of the flying vehicle.
During the refining process, except for the time when Angel was refining the leaping core, the other refining processes were basically successful at the first try. The large floating magic pattern on the shell was projected by the holographic tablet without any mistakes.
Two days later, Angel successfully made the flying vehicle.
And the final product also brought Angel an unexpected surprise!
Although most of the materials for alchemy are low-level materials, or even non-level materials. But after all, they are magic materials. As long as they are smelted, they may stimulate special effects.
For example, the material that Angel is most familiar with is the Demon Blood Copper. Although the Demon Blood Copper is a non-level material, the hardness and wear resistance of items made of the Demon Blood Copper will be greatly improved, and there is a very small chance of obtaining special effects.
The probability of this special effect due to the material itself is very small, and it is difficult to get one in ten thousand.
Therefore, alchemists have always ignored it when refining. If they are lucky enough to trigger the special effect of a certain material, it will be regarded as an easter egg.
If there is no special effect, it will be fine, but once the luck is full, a special effect will appear. This is equivalent to an alchemical item having a compound effect, then both the value and the grade will be greatly improved. If a high-level item or a strategic item has a special effect... then the value is simply immeasurable.
But this itself is something that can only be encountered but not sought.
Since Angel started learning alchemy, the materials he has consumed so far are calculated in "hundreds of tons". But he has never been lucky, but this time, the refining of a flying vehicle by accident brought him an unexpected surprise!
The material that brought him this surprise was a material called "wave shell". Moreover, it was a material that Angel had thought about whether to change many times during the refining process.
Wave shells are small white shells. Unlike other shells that sink to the bottom of the sea or wander to the beach, wave shells like to drift on the sea.
Because of ocean currents, wind power and other factors, there are often white pearl-like foam on the sea surface. This white foam is connected into a piece and has different shapes. Wave shells like to hide in the white foam, hiding their bodies while drifting with the waves.
Wave shells are often used in the refining of the base of underwater vehicles, which can make the vehicle faster when sailing on the water.
Although Angel refined a ship-shaped vehicle, it is still a flying vehicle after all, not a water vehicle. Although the ship-shaped flying vehicle can still enter the water, its sailing speed is similar to that of ordinary ships. Even if it uses wave shells, it can only speed up by one or two points, which is about the thrust of a strong wind.
Therefore, Angel did not plan to use wave shells at first, after all, wave shells are more suitable for water vehicles.
But the texture of wave shells is very beautiful, and the color is also very pure white, which matches the "gray and white wood" of the bottom of the boat. After comparing several materials, Angel still thinks that the texture and color of wave shells are most suitable for the base.
So Angel still used it after careful consideration, just as a bonus.
As a result, it was this bonus that gave Angel an unexpected gift.
...
The flying vehicle was successfully refined. In order to save trouble, Angel directly used "Gondola" as the name of the boat.
Gondola is 10.36 meters long and 2.78 meters wide. The overall color is gradient, the main color is black with a hint of blue, but the bottom of the ship is the milky white of the wave shell.
The two ends of the horns are the color of the night sky, decorated with star crystals, and there is a white sun and a dark moon on the top of the horns. Holding the sun and the moon are two goddesses wearing gauze and with wings on their backs.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the horns alone are exquisite, not to mention other places. Especially the "black tent" compartment at the rear, the carved patterns are extremely exquisite, matched with low-key and luxurious colors, and decorated with translucent starry sky gauze floating all over the ship. Just from the appearance, it is full of mystery and exquisiteness.
Moreover, the most eye-catching part of the whole ship is the bottom of the ship.
Because the ice cave is too narrow and the speed of the flying vehicle is fast, it is easy to have problems. So Angel did not test it immediately, but just let it hover in the air through the carved floating magic pattern.
When the gondola floated in the air, its bottom was exposed.
Although it was clearly suspended in the air, Angel vaguely saw the water ripples and white foam that only appear on the sea surface around the bottom of the boat. When pushing the gondola forward, the water ripples will also produce corresponding ripples, as if it is in the water.
If Angel didn't know that he suspended the gondola in the air, he would have thought it was on the sea surface just by looking at the water ripples and white foam around the bottom of the boat.
It is an illusion, but not an illusion.
This is the great gift from the "wave shell" - wherever the ship goes, it is the sea.
The effect of the wave shell is to increase the speed of sailing on the water surface. Angel hit the jackpot and activated the special effect of the "wave shell". Now its speed increase is not limited to the water surface, but also the sky.
Because it regards the sky as the sea!
This means that the speed of the flying vehicle will be faster!
This is a deal of 1+1=3. It can be said that the gondola made by Angel, with the effect of the "wave shell", is completely comparable to the speed of the mid-level flying vehicle!
