Chapter 461: Boarding and Transfer
"Mr. Li Yan, this is your room. If you need anything, please contact me directly."
The officer took Li Yan to the living room at the front of the airship. It was originally a storage room, but now it was built into a simple temporary living area with temporary plank beds and bedding.
Beds, wooden tables, cabinets, everything is available.
It's just a little simple.
"As for the lady next to you...if you need an extra room, please tell me."
The officer's eyes were on the elf next to Li Yan.
The outpost core that Li Yan brought was mounted on other airships with empty pods. The airship that dropped the flesh turbine had a free mount point to carry other things. .
"No, we live in the same room."
Li Yan glanced at the incarnation of the ancient tree of wisdom standing next to him, Atali, who nodded to him to show that she had no problem.
"Don't we live in the command ship?"
The officer coughed lightly. He couldn't say that this guest lived better than his commander.
While the 30-meter airship has a relatively faster movement speed and higher variability, the lack of carrying space is also a big problem... Even Ji Lin only slept in a small room of 3.75 square meters when he was fighting with the army.
The extra space of the command ship must be ceded to other departments such as the map room and the communication room, which is more crowded than the space of ordinary cruisers.
Next to Ji Lin's lounge is a pile of ammunition.
There is no space at all.
"Because there are no rooms left in the main command ship, if you need to talk to the commander-in-chief... we will dock in the air."
The officer pointed to the cabin connected by multiple fixed hanging cabins. The soldiers who had just experienced a battle sat on the movable wooden bench lowered from the bulkhead to rest.
The hatch and the shooting holes were wide open, replacing the turbid air in the cabin due to the battle, and the fresh and slightly cold wind flow into the cabin refreshed people.
That was not only their combat area, but also their living area.
"Our 30-meter-class fast airship needs to leave enough space for ammunition and survival supplies. Every bit of weight and every bit of space needs to be carefully calculated."
Provide soldiers with living, dining, and all other functions.
So the only living areas that can be divided are the head and tail of the airship. After dividing the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen in these two areas that are not part of the combat readiness area, there will be a little space left.
Don't ask how to deal with the toilet, just deal with it like this.
And officers are better than soldiers. There is a small space of about one cubic meter in the front of the airship for rest, divided into upper and lower bunks.
Li Yan nodded, not quite understanding. He asked Atali to go to the room to rest first. As for the communication with Ji Lin.
They can communicate directly using the system's chat system, and seeing words is like seeing each other.
"By the way, I saw that the flesh and blood turbine you deployed carried a steam engine, but the airship did not carry a steam engine?"
Li Yan remembered the ships driven by steam engines. These airships should also be able to install similar auxiliary propulsion devices.
"Ah, actually, we have tried it, but we found that installing a steam engine would greatly affect the mental state of our soldiers. The academy is considering optimizing this problem..."
Because our airship is not big enough and the total space is too small, we cannot use thick bulkheads to reduce the roar of the steam engine.
The officer took off his military cap and put it in his hand, sighed and continued.
"Can you imagine a very noisy steam engine constantly turning next to you? Only a special reconnaissance airship has enough space to install such a speed-up machine."
Li Yan nodded again, not quite understanding. In short, it was something that sounded very powerful, but he couldn't understand it at all.
The feeling of knowledge flowing through the brain was great.
"Anyway, if you have any needs, just tell me, I will be responsible for the daily docking work with you temporarily."
That's it.
The officer walked to the cab and took a look at the fixed mechanical clock. The clocks of the troops all used this kind of fixed mechanical clock.
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon now, dinner will be delivered at seven o'clock...Tomorrow we will go to the nearest island for resource replenishment, and the return time will be one week..."
Ji Lin is not rich enough to equip each officer with a clock.
The officer looked at Li Yan, and only turned around and left to return to the cockpit after Li Yan confirmed.
The oppressive feeling of the modern army also disappeared with the other party's departure. Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the soldiers sitting on the ground in the cabin to check and repair their weapons.
The soldiers sat on the ground holding their tubular rifles, using cotton cloth and iron fiber to clean the remaining residue in the barrel.
The remaining smell of gunpowder in the cabin, the yellow and orange reflective shells on the ground, and the ammunition boxes piled up in the corner all meant that he had come from a civilization dominated by cold weapons and magic runes to another different environment.
The feeling they gave Li Yan was different from anyone in the Ring Island Alliance. It was more like a modern army rather than a classical army.
Li Yan stood in the aisle for a while before realizing that he had successfully boarded the ship and left the sphere of influence of the Ring Island Alliance.
After he realized that this army would fight alongside him in the future, and he could just sit back and play tower defense games...
The excitement and excitement in his heart made him want to shout out, but he gave up the idea when he thought that if he shouted out, he would be watched immediately.
After all, he was one of the superiors of these soldiers, and he had to have his own dignity and majesty as a lord.
Even if he was a pseudo-superior, he was still a superior!
He had already successfully clung to the thigh.
Rub his hands.
Moreover, the 20mm anti-armor guns in the hands of those soldiers fired long-range steel nail armor-piercing bullets. In the future, he could ask Ji Lin for one to play with - this thing is much more powerful than magic!
The soldiers watched Li Yan pacing in front of the room with a happy expression, straightening their backs from time to time, and all lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't see anything.
As for what the Ring Island Alliance would do when they saw the tree people appearing in their enemy's defense facilities in the future... that was all in the future.
And now the Ring Island Alliance was not as relaxed, happy and optimistic as Li Yan.
