Chapter 1,177 Moving Forward at Half Speed

,!

On all the seats on the renovated Gauss Bertone, there is a design that is very strange in the eyes of others, and that is the seat belt. Regarding this design, Lin Ke adopted an uncompromising attitude and insisted on setting it up.

Although Juan and others did not understand this insistence, they only added two pieces of ordinary fabric and a copper buckle made of ordinary material to each seat. For an airship that is almost entirely made of magic materials and is very expensive, it is like a drop in the bucket, so everyone no longer goes against the insistence of the chief designer.

Now that the Gauss Bertone airship was on its first trial voyage, the magician and his men actually tied themselves to the chairs like this. In addition to being incomprehensible to everyone who acted like this, they were more amused, laughing at how a magician could be so timid. Even the old Duke, who thought he knew the strength of a certain magician, was puzzled.

However, of course there is a reason for someone to be so careful. To understand this, we need to start with the flotation device of the airship.

The flotation device of a traditional airship is to make a giant floating stone, and then 'fix' the hull to the floating stone, allowing the entire ship to float into the sky. Sometimes, the floating stone floats upward but the hull falls down due to improper fixation or loosening due to external impact.

Therefore, how to secure the floating stone firmly to the hull is the most important issue for all airships.

Midi's engineering logic is that if something is easy to break or malfunction, the quality of the material itself is not up to standard, so just replace it with better and more expensive materials. This is one of the reasons airships are so expensive to build, as everyone scrambles to use the best materials they can find to build the fragile device.

In order to solve such problems, the airbag airship was born. The strength requirements of the pumice stone fixtures can be reduced by using giant air bladders filled with lighter alchemical gases. As for the reason behind it, no airship technician can come up with a reasonable explanation. Just because other people do it, they do it and it works.

From someone's point of view, this is just because the airbag provides additional buoyancy and reduces the burden on the hull, so the pumice stone fixing device does not need to be made of very good materials to improve its strength. As for why there is such a design whose principle is unknown to everyone, Lin suspects that this is actually an invention brought by a certain time traveler. Everyone in Midi recognized it based on the theory of consequences and continued to use this design.

The principle of the floating stone, a magical prop, is a stone that solidifies the magic of light objects and the magic of levitation. Rather than some very sci-fi anti-gravity device. Of course, in order to adjust the lifting height, there must be other kinds of magic for control. But the main subjects are still two items: light objects and floating.

Now that he knows that the main functions of the floating stone are those two magics, it is not difficult for Lin to integrate the two magics of light objects and floating into an airship made of magic materials. What he is best at is integrating magic array patterns into basic magic materials in a way similar to circuit boards, so that they can exert their proper effects.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, the airship's most important floating stone fixture has become a meaningless superfluous existence in Lin's design. Instead, it is a frame that strengthens the airship structure. This is similar to the floating stone fixed frame in the eyes of others, but the structure is more complex and the scale is larger.

The advantage of this is that the material strength requirements for the fixtures are greatly reduced, and the cost will naturally decrease accordingly. Then the light object technique was applied to the entire airship, which also reduced the airship's flying burden in disguise.

You must know that on earth, a major problem that all power machines must face is self-weight. Take a car as an example. The higher the horsepower of the engine, the greater its weight will inevitably be. As the speed increases, other problems will inevitably arise due to the increase in weight.

But in the Mysterious Land, the huge hull of the airship is under the influence of the magic light object spell, which means that once the airship takes to the sky, it itself has no weight. Only the humans on it and the cargo loaded have a bearing. Come on weight.

For people in Midi who have no mathematics and rely solely on experience and knowledge of physics, they probably have no idea what this means. But to Lin, it was like putting a propeller engine on a feather. It's not clear what happens once the engine is started at 'half speed'.

Just as someone expected, when the roar of the engine was transmitted to the bridge through the copper pipes, it was followed by powerful propulsion, which quickly took the entire airship away from the place. However, people who boarded the airship and did not secure themselves properly were caught off guard and fell into pieces, turning the ground upside down...

Everyone, including Juan, who stood up coquettishly to give instructions before setting sail, rolled into one piece, and from the corner of their eyes saw the magician's family who were firmly fixed on their seats, and the look on someone's face. A thief's smile. Compared to Mingwu, more people cursed in their hearts! At least you should give me a warning first, so you can watch the show next to me.

Even Grand Duke Kawi, who thought he was familiar with the zero-second acceleration of custom-made cars and was an extraordinary person, was not immune to this sudden and powerful thrust. Although he didn't roll on the ground like the others, he still staggered and took a few steps before he stabilized himself.

As a warrior-type transcendent who is in such a miserable state, how can this ship of magicians be any better? Even the people sitting on the seats were staggered by the sudden acceleration because they had not fixed themselves properly.

But they are not just desk-bound clerks, they are all magicians who were killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. So no matter how bad the situation is, they adjust quickly.

Just before they could question the person who knew how to fix himself to the chair, why not remind everyone that the speeding airship was facing another crisis. Juan, who immediately confirmed the situation in all aspects, looked straight ahead and shouted: "Oliver, ahead!"

The person whose name was called was the chief helmsman of the Gauss Bertone. The front of Juan's loud reminder refers to the sentry tower outside the automobile manufacturing and R&D center, which is getting bigger and bigger on the airship's main screen!

The airship was flying straight forward. The built-in buoyancy caused the Gauss Bertone's flight trajectory to rise slightly without control. This may be able to dodge the wall outside the center, but the height of the sentry tower will definitely give the airship a head-on attack.

The magician who was the main helmsman pulled the spoke rudder back to the limit without thinking. Under the control of the flight rudder, the Gosbottom immediately turned and climbed at a large angle.

Outside the airship, all over the car center, magicians and engineers put aside their work to watch, just watching the airship advancing at an incredible acceleration, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Within a very short distance, the ship almost stood upright, flying towards the sky like a cannon.

"Wow, it's heaven." A group of people who didn't know what to understand clapped and cheered.
