Chapter 538 No Constructive Suggestions
"So, that uncle has experienced this kind of thing, meow."
Gordon folded up the letter paper, "It is understandable that he gave up everything and desperately chased the ancient dragon that killed his family.
But when he couldn't find more information, he hunted monsters indiscriminately to vent his anger. The guild would never let him go."
At this point, Gordon was silent for two seconds and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It may be a bit arrogant to say 'understand'. After all, we have not really experienced the so-called 'hatred', and there is no such thing as empathy.
No matter whether the ancient dragon really exists, the moment he saw his family being shattered, he was no longer the same person."
"Gordon believes that what Uncle Black Hawk encountered was an ancient dragon, not a meteorite, meow?"
"It is impossible to judge this, I can only say that I tend to believe it." Gordon thought for a while, "Take Lanlong as an example, Do you remember the first time we encountered Lanlong? "
"Of course meow!"
"If the airship crashed, all the crew members, including me, would have died, and only you would have survived.
You ran to the guild alone to report that you had encountered an ancient dragon that manipulated the storm, but the guild determined that the airship had just hit an ordinary storm and crashed.
At this time, how can you prove that what you said is true, not an illusion? "
Pork Chop repeatedly scratched his beard and lowered his head and said, "There is no way to prove it meow. The wreckage of the airship showed signs of being torn apart by the wind meow, and Lanlong hid in the wind and clouds, coming and going without a trace meow, and it is difficult to be witnessed meow.
Even if you catch up with Lanlong in other places afterwards, there is no way to prove that Lanlong is the culprit who caused the airship to crash meow. "
With an unclear expression, he stuffed the folded letter into the drawer.
Gordon spoke again: "Let's take a step back and assume that everything is really the work of an ancient dragon. Black Hawk has found evidence and even found the lair of that ancient dragon.
What can we do?
Ancient dragons are 'natural disasters'. People can avoid natural disasters, prevent natural disasters, and work together to stop natural disasters, but can they retaliate against natural disasters?
Unless it is some kind of ancient dragon that frequently attacks human strongholds and is extremely vicious, the guild will never organize forces to attack it, and will even strictly prohibit Black Hawk's private revenge.
It's not that I'm pedantic. The elders must consider the problem from a higher level. If they anger the ancient dragon, it will only cause a more terrible disaster.
It was because Black Hawk realized this that he completely broke with the guild and embarked on a journey of revenge alone.
His own life, the safety of others, and the balance of nature, everything is irrelevant. As long as he can avenge his family, he is willing to pay any price."
"Meow" Pig Chop didn't know what to say for a while.
Gordon patted its little head, "Okay, don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with us, let the people of the Dark Night Guild worry about it."
"That's right, even if Gordon is unlucky, he won't be hit by a meteorite!"
"Yeah, right."
Life is back on track.
That day, Gordon got a good news that made him excited. He immediately dropped the work at hand and ran to the workshop of the master craftsman of the Dragon Calendar Institute.
——The enhancement of the big sword [King Tiger] has been completed, and it should be called [Big King Tiger] now.
This naming method is really random.
In the workshop, Gordon not only saw the old craftsman with a funny beard, but also the chief engineer of the Dragon Calendar Institute.
The two were discussing fiercely around a few drawings.
A few days ago, he handed over the modification suggestions proposed by Black Hawk and the letter from the master to the master craftsman and asked him to pass it on to the chief engineer.
It seems that the latter has achieved some results.
"Ah, Gordon is here." Noticing that the light at the door was blocked by a tall figure, the master craftsman looked back and greeted casually.
The chief engineer's attention was not distracted by the visitor at all. He slapped the blueprint vigorously, "Is Black Hawk's idea valuable? Of course it is.
We can make a sword that is much more powerful than the prototype according to his modification suggestions.
But it is destined to be only a fine work of art, not a weapon for hunters!
Put a gyroscope in the weapon?! He thought of it!
The large gyroscope used on the airship still cannot avoid failure, not to mention miniaturizing it to less than the size of a fist, and putting it in the weapon, constantly undergoing the test of collision, impact, and vibration!
Even if this sword is made, it will definitely fail frequently!"
Gordon, who did not dare to disturb the two, overheard this and nodded in agreement.
Hunters require weapons not only to be powerful, but also reliable.
Just like the epitaph sword, although the material is special, the structure is extremely simple. As long as it is not completely broken, the failure rate is zero.
If we change to the explosive knife and the bombardment sword, which contain a retractable mechanism, the reliability is slightly inferior, but the structure of this mechanism is very mature and the failure rate is very low.
Looking at the current trial jet sword, due to its complex structure and the use of too many new technologies, the failure rate may be between 10% and 20%.
This failure rate is already unacceptable to hunters, and for this reason, the master craftsman reminded Gordon not to use this trial product to hunt monsters that are too difficult, just practice.
And Black Hawk proposed that the "automatic control nozzle" plan drafted by the master craftsman can be barely produced with current technology, but considering the fragility of precision parts, the failure rate is more than 50%.
After hearing this, Gordon felt that he would never use such a thing anyway.
Risking your life? !
After mumbling for a long time, the chief engineer finally noticed Gordon's arrival. He pointed at Gordon and said, "Master You also made some suggestions that were not very constructive."
"Huh?" Gordon raised a question mark over his head.
Why don't you offer any constructive suggestions?
But he still subconsciously asked, "What suggestions?"
"Do you know about 'bionics'?"
The old dragon man jumped down from the table, without any intention of waiting for Gordon to answer, and said to himself: "Nature is the greatest designer.
From fish, humans learned streamlined shipbuilding technology; from birds and floating jellyfish, they learned to build airships; from the breath of flying dragons, they learned to make artillery.
In the face of nature, human technology and knowledge are too insignificant. It is better to find answers from the creatures that have survived countless years of natural competition and eliminated the fittest.
Perhaps the perfect solution to the power and reliability of the jet sword can be found in some creatures.
Sounds reasonable, right? "
"Uh, yeah." Gordon nodded.
"I also think it makes sense, but it's useless. There are indeed creatures in nature that use jet fluids to obtain propulsion, such as octopus, squid, certain fish, shellfish and so on.
But all that provides is a burst of propulsion, and we've already solved that part of the problem.
After the trial product is slightly improved, the structure is optimized, and the reliability is improved, it can be regarded as a finished product.
But there is no way to achieve the perfect state of explosiveness and continuity, stability and flexibility that we expect from Cambay and Blackhawks, well, and me.
But there is no such creature in nature! "
