Chapter 1,180 Magic Collision with Technology

Following Juan's gaze, Lin also looked at his feet. A special magic spell is printed on the sole of the foot, forming a clearly visible magic pattern. It is this magic circle that changes one's perception of the direction of gravity, allowing one to stand firmly on the plane in contact with the soles of the feet.

Lin replied: "Yes, it is the technique of walking on flat ground."

"Do you think it's possible to conversely add this magic to an object so that all people standing on it can stand stably?"

"Use the flat ground technique to replace the gravity device. What an interesting idea." Lin rubbed his chin while thinking.

The reason why many hard science fiction works are still classified as "fantasy" and cannot rise to the level of "science" is because they always propose technologies that cannot be proven to be achievable even if they are scientific theories. One of them is the gravity device. This includes Magnesia's two major science fiction works: Star_War and Star_Trek, both of which have the same problem.

Life in a spaceship is supposed to be gravity-free, and everyone's actions are mainly about floating. However, in many science fiction works describing space navigation, humans in spaceships can walk and move normally, as if they are still in the earth's environment.

If there is an object directly below the spacecraft with a mass of 59,722 gigatons, which is approximately the same as the mass of the Earth, and the volume is not too small to form a singularity, then it is possible to provide information related to the Earth. The considerable gravitational environment allows people living on it to live normally as on the earth... Whose spaceship takes an earth with it when it goes out.

Some people say that centrifugal force can be used to simulate a 1G gravity environment. This scientific theory is correct and technically feasible. But look at the forms of spaceships in those works. Which one looks like it can use centrifugal force to create 1G gravity?

But Lin Ke never thought that this eternal problem in the world of magic would be so easy to solve. Just use the "Walk on a Flat Earth" technique and you're done.

Speaking of this magic, there is a considerable degree of 'idealism'. It changes people's understanding of the direction of gravity, thinking that as long as they step on it, it is the ground that they can stand on. As for why it can cause such an effect, it is still unclear to some people.

When Lin cast this magic, he only used its most basic form, which was the version provided by the Magicians Association, and could not make other modifications. The main reason is because I don’t understand it, so I can’t change it.

Although the Technique of Walking on Flat Earth is applied to a 'person' or 'object' to change its cognition, thereby obtaining its effect. But in turn, it is applied to the 'object', so that the contact's passive cognition is changed, and then the same effect is obtained. This approach is very difficult in the field of magic, but it is not completely impossible. It just requires some research.

But just solving the problem of the direction of gravity does not mean that the airship can make waves. Another big challenge is G-force. In those hard science fiction works, there are so-called inertial dampers to minimize the impact of G-force.

However, magic has no good solution in this regard. At most, it just strengthens people's physique so that they can adapt to higher and longer accelerations. But this is not a fundamental solution after all, it is just a symptom of treating a headache with a headache and a sore foot with the feet.

But just as their understanding of magic is still based on the scientific knowledge accumulated in the first half of their lives, the natives of Midi have no baggage of those science fiction works in their minds. In addition, Juan himself was a well-informed magician. Regarding the problems that arose during the trial of the airship Gaussbottom, Juan came up with many solutions that Lin had never thought of.

The two old friends just entered into a very serious discussion about magic and ideas for improving the Gauss Bertone. The other people on the bridge also recovered from the original chaos, left their seats one after another, or loosened their too-tight seat belts, and began to check various data within their areas of responsibility. These are all tasks assigned before the sea trial.

The second officer who was staying on the bridge at the same time, after a brief exchange with the other deputy captains, inspected various cabins of the airship. Although there are returns from the copper pipes, the recovery after the chaos is in good shape. But what the actual situation is, you still need to confirm it with your own eyes to have the most direct understanding.

First he was teleported away from his original position, and then he was pushed to the ground by two apprentices. After a heavy fall, the helmsman Oliver also recovered his original situation and returned to the helmsman's position. But this time, he just checked the condition of the rudder and didn't dare to make another extreme operation casually.

Oliver knew exactly how much his ugliness had played a role in the chaos. If this account is brought up and discussed on the table, I am afraid that this well-paid position will be far away from me. So now he prioritizes stability, for fear of making another mistake and having several accounts jointly settled.

As long as people are afraid of something, something will happen easily. People who thought everything was back on track, except for Oliver who was worried, were suddenly frightened by the violent shaking of the airship. Everyone instinctively grabbed their seats, and some even quickly secured themselves with seat belts.

Just after a period of violent shaking, the entire ship body made a rumbling sound and shook slightly. Everyone just felt baffled.

"The airship was damaged, the second right engine was shut down, and the right hull suffered extensive damage." The magician in charge of the airship's defense system yelled.

Lin first said in surprise: "How is it possible? At an altitude of more than 9,000 meters, what kind of monster would attack others at such a height? Not to mention other airships. This height cannot be reached, but it is common sense for most people. . Is it possible that we hit a rock in the air?"

Only then did everyone realize what had just happened. The engine of the Gauss Bertone is installed inside the airship, and then connected through the crankshaft to pull the propeller set outside to generate thrust. This is due to the convenience of maintenance at high altitudes. After all, the buoyancy of the airship is not provided by the propeller engine. If a shutdown accident occurs in the air, it can be repaired directly.

But even if the engine is installed inside the airship, it is still very close to the outer wall of the hull. This means that damage sufficient to cause damage to the hull may directly damage the engine and cause shutdown.

But just like someone's doubts, the altitude of more than 9,000 meters is basically a forbidden area for living things. No birds fly at such altitudes because there are no prey species to provide them with the food sources they need to survive.

In this case, what kind of attack did the airship encounter that caused such damage?

Lin flashed forward and came to the observation officer's seat where he was monitoring the external situation of the airship. Switch screens neatly and check every corner of the boat.
