Chapter 1,176 Preparations for Trial Navigation
The layout of the driver's seat of the Cid airship is actually similar to the car that is about to be ruined on the streets of the holy city of Estali.
There is a steering wheel with an instrument panel in front of it, except that the foot-operated accelerator and brake are replaced by hand-operated throttles, and there are exactly the same devices on the passenger seat. In addition to being used by the co-pilot to take over immediately when an accident occurs to the pilot, the most commonly used use is actually for the main and co-pilot to take turns taking a rest during long-distance flights without having to change seats.
Simply put, the Sid is the kind of design where one person can control everything.
Taking into account the combat purpose and the complexity of control, the Gauss Bertone separated many functions and handed them over to dedicated people to control and monitor. In fact, this is a bit back to the original form of sailboats. The work of the helmsman, lookout hand, sail hand, etc. is done by different people or different groups working together to control a large ship. Gauss Bertone is similar.
The fully enclosed hull, in the bridge, transmits images from the outside world to the bridge's panoramic screen in real time through the arcane eyes set up everywhere on the airship. Fixed panoramic screens are distributed in the front and left and right.
The rear and up-and-down monitoring is done in a picture-in-picture format, narrowed down to specific areas. This way, people don't have to turn their heads to look in a particular direction and ignore other directions. Information from more directions can be collected in the same field of view.
As for the function of the Arcane Eye, it is only the original ability recorded by the Magician Association. Rather than being upgraded several times by someone, it can be used as a microscope or an astronomical telescope, and it can even be a multi-purpose new arcane eye that can see different phases, different dimensions and energy outside visible light.
The original function of the Arcane Eye is enough for the Gauss Bertone. If you want to 'see' more things, the magicians on this ship have to find a way on their own. Lin Ke was not so crazy as to set up a self-destruct device on someone else's airship. In the future, there will be no problem for Juan or his successors to modify the Gauss Bertone.
To solve the problem of vision, the main driver uses the same spoke rudder as a floating ship. In addition to controlling left and right rotation, the spoke rudder can also push forward and pull back to control the pitch angle.
The speed of the airship is controlled by the chief engineer in another cabin. The sound is transmitted and orders are issued through copper pipes connected to most locations in the boat.
Although magic can be used to solve the problem of sound transmission, considering that in a combat state, it will consume a large amount of the energy pool reserve on the boat. Problems that can be solved using simple mechanical principles can be solved in this way without consuming power.
Although the laying of copper pipes will occupy part of the space inside the boat. But after several discussions with Juan and other airship crew members, they still chose to use copper pipes for communication. Compared with consuming the manpower of a messenger, or when the magic power is insufficient or interfered with when the battle is fierce, resulting in the failure of the magic communication to be completed, the price paid by the copper pipe communication can be said to be quite light.
In addition to the helmsman and engine, there is also a gunnery officer on the bridge who is responsible for issuing attack instructions to various gun positions; in addition to the main screen, there is a lookout officer who is responsible for monitoring the external situation; and is responsible for monitoring the status of the airship itself, including various A defense officer who provides aspect data, hull integrity, and defense capabilities. As well as the boatswain who is responsible for the manpower dispatch and rotation of the ship. …
These people have their own seats in the bridge and corresponding control panels to help them better handle their duties. The method of using programming language to integrate complex instructions into short instructions is quite unfamiliar to the original airship crew members, and they must start from scratch.
But no one who has used it has ever thought about going back to using the old method. Instead, I added a lot of my own ideas based on what was already done, so that my work can be simplified and faster.
The captain's seat is in the center, raised high. You can overlook the people in all seats and even see what they are doing.
Although there is some authoritarian connotation in it, being able to control the movements of all personnel has positive implications for commanding the airship. Therefore, Juan liked this design of the captain's position very much. He also specially ordered an ergonomic seat from the Technical Guild and installed it on the captain's position.
As for the so-called ergonomics, it is actually just a chair that is very comfortable to sit on. Who knows what the ergonomics of Midi are.
The position of the airship's second-in-command is on the side and behind the captain's position, close to the copper pipe. He is responsible for relaying the captain's orders to the correct cabin.
Usually the first officer sits in this seat, but there are also second officers, third officers to fifth officers on the Gosbottom, a total of five deputy captains. Although they have their own functions, they will still take turns, and at least one will stay next to the captain. , and temporarily take over the command of the airship when necessary.
In addition to these official seats, there are also some guest seats that are folded into the wall against the wall behind the bridge and can be lowered when necessary. There is a place for those who are not officially on the bridge to sit.
But a seat is a seat. If you can stand, you can see more things. Therefore, none of the 'guests' who boarded the boat sat down. They were all looking east and west, even Lin, the chief designer, was doing the same. But the former was mostly out of curiosity, while Lin was discussing with the people on the seat whether there were any deficiencies in design and functionality that needed to be modified.
When Juan entered the bridge, the second officer who was originally sitting in the captain's seat to help check the status of the airship stood up and gave up his seat. Juan sat down on the chair he had customized, moved his butt comfortably and sat down. He instructed the second officer who was currently in the deputy's position: "Report on the preparation status of each department."
The second officer immediately lifted all the copper pipe covers and reported to the whole ship. According to the regulations, the rewards are given in order to prevent everyone from being crowded together and unable to hear anything clearly. Although there were some difficulties, the ship
^0^ Remember in one second【】
All cabins outside the bridge are reported one by one and are ready. Then there is the situation of the people in each seat on the bridge.
When the deputy reported that the entire boat was ready, Juan immediately stood up, waved his hand majestically, and instructed: "Engine engine, move forward at half speed. Gosbertong sets sail!" Then he winked back at someone with a proud look. it goes without saying.
But as soon as someone heard the key word - half speed, he immediately pulled out the guest seat behind Cambridge and sat on it. The most important thing is to secure yourself tightly with a seat belt. Halumi and Kaya were not slow to respond. As soon as they saw their teacher's actions, they immediately followed suit. Kaya also spent some effort to fix the unconscious Marquis Baran in her seat.
Leonardo saw that his two seniors had done this. Although he didn't understand the reason, he still did it. Then there was Fen, albeit reluctantly. The Grand Duke of Kawei, who was also on board the boat as a guest, looked at the magician and his family who were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
