Chapter 914: Anna's Thoughts

After finishing the affairs of Chenxi, Roland returned to his residence, a manor located deep in the camp.

This place should have originally belonged to a wealthy businessman. Not only were several two-storey stone houses built together, but they also surrounded a huge front courtyard and backyard. It's just that the turmoil in Hermes made the original owner disappear, and he took this place as a temporary place to stay.

Walking into the main room in the middle, Anna was sitting at the table, seriously flipping through the books he found from the dream world. The sun shining through the window turned her bangs into a beautiful golden yellow, and at the same time left a light edge on the outline of her fair face.

"Is the meeting over?" Hearing the noise, she turned her head and asked with a smile.

"Well, I've said everything I need to explain. Nana and the others have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Soak your feet first," Anna got up, brought a basin of water, put it on the low stool beside the bed, and then leaned over to help him take off his shoes and socks. The leather boots used on the plateau in this era are not only hard, but also extremely airtight, so every time he returns to the bedroom, the first thing he does is to soak his feet to relax, and then change into a pair of lightweight soft-soled cloth shoes. At first Roland insisted on coming by himself, but in the end he couldn't resist the other party's stubbornness.

"How's the water temperature?" Anna plunged the black fire into the water.

"It's hotter... Ah, this is just right." Roland felt his feet were surrounded by a burst of warmth, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Not only that, but the black fire will also turn into balls, squeeze his insteps and soles like a massager, and finally cover the entire feet to dry the remaining moisture.

It's really easy to get addicted to this kind of life.

"What about you?" Anna sat down beside him, "Will you go with Nana tomorrow?"

"No, the other person is Sylvie, and her surveillance ability is irreplaceable for the garrison." Roland held the opponent's hand, "Of course my going back will be able to stabilize people's hearts, but they always have to I am used to dealing with troubles by myself without me in charge. In addition, the main force of the first army is not in place, and the role I can play alone is very limited. After Maggie transports the two of them, it will be the turn of me and the second batch. is you."

Since the hummingbird's ability cannot affect living creatures, the number of people Maggie can carry at a time is limited to about two people, and the fluctuation depends on the specific weight of the passengers. Lightning can also carry one person on its back, but the height will drop significantly, and basically it can only fly close to the treetops, which is okay for emergency use, but it is too unsafe for long-distance flights.

It is a long journey from Hermes to Neverwinter. Even if Maggie can continue to fly after the sun goes down and doesn't have to spend time looking for food every day, it will take nearly three days for one way. He could only deliver them in batches according to the witch's urgency.

Fortunately, the army will gradually advance south along the inland river, and the interval between each batch of personnel transportation will be shortened accordingly.

"It would be great if there is a faster transportation method," Anna raised her head, "such as a machine that can fly in the sky."

"That's not easy, unless—" Roland wanted to say that without an internal combustion engine, it would be impossible to make a truly usable aircraft, but halfway through the conversation, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to change subconsciously. He said, "Wait, maybe it's not impossible."

"What should I do?" Anna's blue eyes sparkled suddenly.

"Using the abilities of Wendy and Mystery Moon," Roland thought, "if it's just for carrying people...the combination of the two might work!"

This is also the inspiration from Maggie's bombing plan. If mass production or versatility is not pursued, the abilities of witches can have the same effect as machines in many aspects.

After three years of accumulation, Neverwinter now has lightweight aluminum materials, an arithmetic academy capable of large-scale calculations, and a central carrier for verifying results. An unpowered or weakly powered glider is not An unattainable goal.

Of course, the most important thing is Wendy's wind control technique and the power--0---0---small--say---this is the gorgeous dividing line--let go of that witch.

To put it simply, the reason why an airplane can fly is because the engine provides backward thrust, so that the wings can move forward in the wind, and use the airflow passing above and below the wings to form a pressure difference, thereby obtaining lift.

According to the existing technology in Neverwinter, the power of an electric motor is far from enough to pull up a plane, but he doesn't need lift from the movement. Wendy's wind is the "air pressure" that can act directly under the wings. Difference". The electric motor only needs to provide the component force in the horizontal direction, just like the lightning adjusts the direction of the bomb in the air-only a small force is applied, and the plane can be lifted into the air.

"In order to obtain efficient airborne capability, its wings should be as long as possible," Roland recalled the appearance of later generations of glider, and the more he said, he became more and more excited, "but to maximize the lift before takeoff, it must have a wider wing. Root, can cover all of Wendy's wind control range. And..."

A well-designed glider can use thermals to climb heights, thereby greatly increasing the gliding distance, but here, the witch can provide updrafts anytime and anywhere, which means that as long as the magic power is not exhausted, it can fly forever.

In other words, as long as a runway is built at the destination, the aircraft can transport ten people or more at one time—even the slowest glider can exceed two hundred kilometers per hour, which is almost the speed of Maggie after transforming into a terrifying beast. Three times, you can reach any city in Graycastle within a day.

Of course, whether it is prototype manufacturing or manipulation training, it is a step-by-step process. Even if they do it now, by the time they can go to heaven, the witch and the First Army will have already returned to Neverwinter.

However, this idea still made the two discuss with great interest for a long time - flying has always been the greatest temptation for humans who were born and died on the ground. And the glider is different from the clumsy hydrogen balloon, the former can really fly on the wind.

If Edith could bring surprises to Roland in terms of governance, then in terms of technology, the only one who could communicate with him on an equal footing was Anna.

"By the way," she meticulously collected the discussion results and model sketches, "Did you hear any good news at today's meeting? Ever since you received the letter from Neverwinter, you haven't felt so relaxed."

"That's right," Roland raised the corner of his mouth, and briefly talked about the private meeting with Pearl of the Northland.

Anna couldn't help laughing when she heard Edith's reason.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help asking curiously.

"I want to say that she has a little too much confidence in everyone. Can you learn everything you teach? Advanced mathematics alone is very difficult, let alone physics and chemistry..." Anna made a grimace, "I think even if Even after a hundred years, I can't understand all those orange books."

"Pfft," Roland also laughed, "There are many books like this in the dream world."

"Also, I don't think the future world will be like what she said."

"Oh? Then what do you think it will look like?"

"She thinks that if you can't gain prestige through two-sided offensive, it's better to let Chenxi fall into chaos, but I think the way to accumulate prestige is far more than this way. When you lead everyone to fight against the devil and wipe out all the terrible enemies who invaded the kingdom, that's a good idea." It is a prestige that is difficult for anyone to match." Anna said seriously, "You destroyed the church and won the battle of divine will, the witches will remember it in their hearts, and the survivors of Taquila will also be proud of you. You brought all kinds of knowledge to Public, as long as you open the books, you can always find your name. Whether in history or in the present, you will be known to everyone, and everyone will know you. Under such prestige, the lords of other kingdoms have asked to join in order to seek refuge. Under your rule, no one dares to violate your will—because there have been too many examples before to prove the fate of those conspirators. After a hundred years, there may be only one kingdom left in this world, and its borders have already expanded To the Fertile Plain, the human kingdom is gradually restoring its former glory..." She paused, "Is it wrong for me to think like this?"
