Chapter 1062 New World Airship Technology

Information about the next battle plan, as well as various personnel arrangements and operational details, have been sent to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland by special messengers on pterosaurs.

Gordon and Feng Ying, who were supposed to return immediately, were temporarily left behind.

Perhaps it was a mistake in the previous meeting that made the commander-in-chief realize the importance of the opinions of front-line combatants. He asked Gordon and Feng Ying to participate in the formulation of the support material list.

In fact, the two hunters didn't help much. They just pulled out the equipment and ammunition requested by their companions. They were also a little confused as to what else they should bring.

But Pork Chops provided plenty of suggestions.

This makes at least half of the first batch of supplies to be various "explosive" big bangs.

The veteran craftsmen of the second phase team were very fast. On the second day after returning to the Star Stronghold, Gordon and the others witnessed the scene of the survey team's airship, which had been sealed for many years, being debugged and launched into the air.

The shape of this airship is quite unique.

Gordon was okay, after all, he had the research base of the third phase of the group to lay the groundwork, but Feng Ying was shaken to the core.

"What kind of crap is this?!" She couldn't help but complain.

next to them.

An old craftsman with gray shawl hair and a thin figure. Regardless of his clothes, posture, or face, he gives off a strong sense of decadence, but his eyes are shining. He is crossing his arms and looking at the platform not far away. On the boat, the airbag gradually fills up, and the airship rises slowly and steadily.

There was no concealment of emotion and pride in his tone, "Finally, the day has finally come. The sky is the romance of men!"

"Hmm"

Gordon knew this person, he was the airship developer mentioned by the leader of the second phase group.

Before that, Gordon had only one impression of this guy - a drunken drunkard.

I only complete the most basic work every day, and then I go to the Bobcat Pavilion, or buy a few bottles of wine, and sit in the corner and waste the whole day drunk.

Later I found out that this old drunkard was a very powerful engineer and an absolute expert in aircraft.

In the Old Continent, resources are abundant, the market is vast, and the development of various types of airships is booming. In recent years, there have even been large airships such as the Longshi Ship, which embodies the crystallization of countless technologies.

But these aircraft have one characteristic. They are specially designed and finalized after repeated practice.

The center of gravity is stable, the streamlined cabin, the modular buoyancy airbag, and even the length and thickness of the cables have special standards.

But it's different in the New World.

Even now that the fifth phase of the team has arrived and the number of people has increased sharply, the number of airships required by the investigation team is only two or three at most. If more are unused, mass production is impossible, and resources are extremely limited.

Building a cabin from scratch is time-consuming, laborious, and material-intensive, so the investigation team's airship was modified from the wreckage of a sea-going ship.

Just like the one in front of me.

The pod seems to be modified from one-third of the stern of a fifty-meter-class sea-going ship.

The center of gravity of this thing is not as stable as the cabin of a conventional airship.

Therefore, it does not have a specially configured huge airbag like those airships in the old world. Instead, it consists of dozens of hot air balloons of different sizes, which together form a buoyancy component.

Anyway, from Feng Ying's perspective, this thing can't be called an airship. It's just a wreck of a sea ship with many balloons tied to it and it just flew up!

The test flight was very successful.

The moment the airship landed smoothly, the airship developer rushed forward. He would make final fine-tuning for some minor problems exposed during the test flight.

A petite figure jumped out of the airship and ran towards Feng Ying and the others.

It's Isana.

As she ran towards here, she shouted to Feng Ying, "It's awesome! This airship is awesome! The uncle who modified the airship is awesome too!"

Feng Ying twitched the corner of her mouth, "Is it more powerful than your Isana?"

Isana was choked, but she still said happily: "It's different! Have you seen the cabin made of the stern wreckage? To be honest, that thing is not suitable for use as a pod at all.

But the uncle just transformed it into an empty boat. Relying on the distributed airbag arrangement, the controllability and stability were adjusted to a perfect state. Even the father (the head of the Tulong tribe) found it difficult to achieve. "

The leader of the second phase of the group came over with a smile, "Hahaha, little girl, your forging technology in Naguli Village is absolutely top-notch, and your father is a world-famous craftsman, but when it comes to airship design, you can count. It’s not like I’m an expert.”

Isana pursed her lips, "One-eyed boss, the Isana built by our Naguli Village has killed an ancient dragon."

".?"

Gordon couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard Isana's angry words to save face, but he still followed her words and said: "That's right, the Celestial Dragon that spread the dragon disease and ravaged Sky Mountain was killed by Isana. Killed by a collision."

The leader of the second phase team scratched his bald head, "We have been away from the Old World for more than 30 years, and the airship technology in Naguli Village has developed to this?"

A terrifying scene appeared in his mind of the Naguli Village airship equipped with a huge ramming horn, chasing the ancient dragon flying everywhere.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. In fact, the Celestial Dragon was beaten to death by Gordon and the others. It was knocked down by our boat with a dragon gun when it was about to escape." Isana finally explained.

"I see."

Isana brought the topic back to the airship in front of her, "But that uncle is really amazing. I heard that even if one-third of these airbags are broken, the airship can still barely maintain flight.

The airship will crash only if more than half of the airbags are lost?"

"Yes."

Looking at the airship developer who regained his spirits and loudly directed the craftsmen to debug, the leader of the second phase group couldn't help but sigh, "Whether it is the 'Starry' in front of us or the 'Learning' of the third phase group, they were all designed and modified by him alone.

Over the years, he has been guilty of the crash of the Learning, but it was not his fault at all.

It is better to say that the third phase group was attacked by the wind drifting dragon, but still managed to make a successful forced landing and minimized casualties. This is his credit."

Gordon couldn't help but recall the research base that had gone through twenty years of wind and rain and was still floating steadily in the air, and nodded in agreement.

"Captain of the Second Phase, how long will it take for this airship to complete the debugging and officially set sail?" Gordon asked the question he was most concerned about.

The captain of the Second Phase patted Gordon's back vigorously, "Don't worry! We replaced the aging parts overnight yesterday, and now the debugging is almost done. It can be put into use tomorrow!"

Gordon was relieved when he heard it. Fortunately, it was not an answer like "at least one more week".

Coincidentally, under the coordination of the material class, the preparation of the first batch of materials is almost done. It seems that we can set off tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

The companions over at the Great Ant Mound Wasteland are afraid that they can't wait.

At this time, Feng Ying suddenly poked Gordon's waist, "Master Gordon, didn't Pork Chop say that we should prepare some 'additional' things? Are you ready?"

"I almost forgot about this." Gordon curled his fingers and knocked on his forehead.

"After dinner yesterday, it has been locking itself in the studio, and asked the material department to send a lot of materials in. I'm afraid it will make something terrible."

"Something terrible, eh, this should be a good thing, right?"
