Chapter 438: Breakthrough of Technological Bottleneck
If the floating battleship can be put into practical use as scheduled, it means that the Kingdom of Light established by mankind will gain strategic deterrence capability for the first time in the long tug-of-war with the sworn enemy, the Goblin Second Empire, and the offensive and defensive forms will be reversed.
Don't look at the power of the magic card master is staggeringly strong, and it can even be called a walking humanoid nuclear bomb, the god of war and conquest Bane has also planted the sage, but that can't stand Luo Zhengdao, a self-taught half-man, compared to those predecessors who cut off the Aragami from the horse, he should really reflect on why he is so useless.
In the test ground, Luo Zhengdao's face has not been very good, it is better to be famous when you meet, he often repeats two sentences when he has nothing to do, and today he can be regarded as understanding the true meaning. Nima, it's flying when it's flying, you say the hull of the ship is shaking like a swing, what's going on? This can also be considered a floating battleship? A floating battleship with Parkinson's?
Looking at the rapid change of the face of His Majesty the King, who was not inferior to the master of Sichuan Opera Face Change, even if his emotional intelligence was not high, the person in charge of the project knew that he had not done things well, and he was embarrassed to defend himself:
"Uh, Your Majesty, there may be an error in our center of gravity calculation, and it would be better to correct it."
Encountering this kind of master with high IQ and low EQ, Luo Zhengdao was also speechless, paused for a moment, he brought the topic back on track, and said:
"Where is the technological breakthrough?"
When it came to the technical details, the person in charge of the project was immediately full of energy, and he gushed endlessly:
"We found the correct arrangement of the sea driftwood, and the main point is the sequence ......"
The more he listened to this topic, the more confused he became, Luo Zhengdao interrupted his tirade and asked:
"Arrangement?"
"Yes, His Majesty. Sea driftwood has a weak magnetic field similar to magnetite, and the result of improper matching is that the magnetic fields cancel each other out, and only by arranging and combining them in a certain order can we ensure that the minimum number of sea driftwood can reach the lower buoyancy required for flight. ”
At this point, he finally understood the key link, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and said:
"Why didn't anyone know about such a simple thing before?"
I have to say that Luo Zhengdao's questioning is very reasonable, the researchers of the new world are not a bunch of fools and fools who eat and wait for death, a large number of legal professionals have mentioned it, and naturalists have diligently studied knowledge, there is really no reason to keep such a superficial natural phenomenon undiscovered, right?
Regarding the confusion expressed by His Majesty the King, several engineers who were the specific managers disagreed, saying:
"Your Majesty, ordinary ships do not need much buoyancy reserves, and the increase in buoyancy will correspondingly have to load more ballast, which will affect the loading capacity of the ship. Unfortunately, we found that this wonderful magnetic effect was only manifested in an arrangement with a sufficient number of sea driftwoods. ”
Nodding, Luo Zhengdao felt that he understood this question, and then asked:
"Well, then when will our floating battleships be put into practical use? Is there a specific timeline? ”
"At present, maintaining flight stability is the biggest difficulty, the test of the propulsion system is relatively simple, and the rest are minor problems."
"Alright! I hope to see as many results as possible. ”
Luo Zhengdao's statement satisfied the professionals, everyone knows what disadvantages will occur when a layman commands an insider, and a leader who is willing to give strong support to researchers and does not meddle in blind command is really more valuable than picking out a thousand-mile horse from a group of grass donkeys.
"Of course, Your Majesty, this is also the common wish of all of us."
A big step forward at the technical level, floating warships have not yet had a chance to dominate the battlefield in the short term, and on the whole, it is undoubtedly a promising development project with a bright future, and it is necessary to be patient with this kind of big project. Luo Zhengdao, who knows the drawbacks, can't urge his subordinates to speed up, the radish is fast and does not wash the mud, the eggplant is fast and does not peel, and the root cause of all kinds of problems in those gift projects is not in technology but precisely in people!
If the floating battleship is like a flower in the mirror, the cutting-edge steel-armored battleship Titan is a real usable combat power, how to properly use this giant ship that can be called the world's first in tonnage and combat effectiveness, and seek the greatest benefits for his own side, really made Luo Zhengdao think hard
In the spacious hall like a basketball court of the Qiongzhou General Staff Headquarters, several sets of illuminated crystal chandeliers illuminated the giant sand table below, and the high-level human beings who were performing war games here looked solemn one by one.
Although it is not to show the actual combat situation, but every detail and step deduced here is hundreds or thousands of casualties and losses on the battlefield, how dare they not be cautious?
“…… After the successful attack on Dongning and the Grand Canal City, he immediately advanced against the current to recapture the imperial city. Your Majesty, your plan is too idealistic, do you think those green skins will admit defeat lightly? Assuming that the goblins do back down, we must also maintain a long supply line from Dongning to the Imperial City, where we may be attacked and harassed by the goblin army at any time, which will drain our last drop of blood, no different from suicide. ”
If another person comes up with this kind of adventurous and radical battle plan, nine out of ten will be besieged by the participants, and even if Luo Zhengdao, the king, opens the golden mouth, if he can't tell any common sense truth, he can't let these people bow their heads and admit their accounts.
If you don't count the vassal fiefdoms named by those pirate nobles, the core territory of the Kingdom of Light is only Qiongzhou and Wake Reef, at most, counting a few limited overseas territories such as the Spice Islands, the total registered population is about four million, and the comprehensive national strength is relatively weak in the middle countries of the New World. rashly smashed all the chips in his hand on the gamble of counterattacking the main continent, in addition to not measuring himself, it is estimated that he will not be able to find a more appropriate judgment. Looking at today's posture, Luo Zhengdao can't take out some dry goods to serve the public, just with red mouth and white teeth, he wants to make everyone bow down and obey orders, like this kind of thing, you don't have to think about it!
"Do you know the legend of the Holy Spring?"
Hearing this, he looked at Luo Zhengdao, who had an unfathomable posture, and several high-level executives looked at each other's expressions, and Brando Scarlet Yan said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the ancient legend that purifies a qiē filth and is called the 'Fountain of the Holy Spirit'? That's just a legend! ”
"No, that's not just a legend, I'm vouching for it in the name of the Magic Card Master."
made a resounding promise in person, and Luo Zhengdao did not hesitate to use his title as a magic card master as collateral, which shows how strong self-confidence he has in his statement. The Great Eternal Library, which I don't know if it's real or imaginary, is far more than just a collection of materials for the magicians, who are as professional in the legal system and whose thirst for knowledge is no less than that of the current Arcanists. Compared to the era when the magic card master was active, many of the ancient legends and stories circulating in the new world still belong to the level of real life, how can Luo Zhengdao return empty-handed with his back against this treasure house of knowledge? If you dare to speak so openly, you naturally have first-hand materials as the basis for your argument.
Zola Hegel had always been interested in these mysteries, and could not help but interject:
“…… Your Majesty, do you mean that the Holy Spring is in the Imperial City? ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao was a little unhappy, he was not a person who liked to make random promises, and he didn't want to make presumptuous assertions if he didn't have something he was completely sure of, so he frowned slightly and said:
"According to the clues I have, this conclusion is the most likely, but it is not necessarily limited to the Imperial City, it is also possible in the nearby area, at least I think it is worth trying."
The Dinosaur Claw, which was suspected to be the evidence of the Blood Sea Overlord from the Hermitage Society, had already been contaminated by an unknown spell, and less than ten people around Luo Zhengdao knew the general course of the incident. Speaking of which, now that he has obtained six of the seven evidence of the hegemon, he is extremely close to finally succeeding, which is of course a piece of great news. It's just that if the hidden danger of the Dinosaur's Claw is not solved, how can Luo Zhengdao feel at ease to find the last proof of the Storm Sea Overlord? As the so-called flock of birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand, and run to try your luck without making enough preparations, this is not Luo Zhengdao's style.
"How long will it take for the Titan to be ready for battle?"
Brando Scarlet was the chief of the navy, and he had to answer this question, and the commander immediately responded:
"Your Majesty, optimistically estimated, will be able to complete the rearmament before the end of the month."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Well, then we will set the time for the start of the war next month, and you must keep it strictly secret, especially to our allies, not a word can be leaked."
"Do your will, Your Majesty."
The fall of the main continent is really not much news material, and in the tavern of the New World, there is no need to deliberately inquire, and you can hear a little gossip after a glass of wine.
Now that everyone knows that the main continent is about to fall in love with the lower planes, the Second Goblin Empire has to regrettably abandon the established policy of sticking to the main continent and insisting on the supremacy, and instead seek overseas immigrants to colonize, but it cannot simply be said that they will be happy to reach a reconciliation with the old enemy because of this.
You know, humans and goblins are bitter feuds, do you know what kind of concept this is? If you want to start a war with other countries, the first step is to create a suitable atmosphere of public opinion, and advocate that your side is fighting for the maintenance of world peace, the pursuit of fairness and justice, or the great and righteous goals of ethics and morality, and then you can pull the team out to start the film, otherwise it will greatly lose morale. If it is an old enemy with a buff like a sworn enemy, it is much simpler, even if you use the incorrect posture you slept in last night, or your face is too disgusting, Lao Tzu can use it as an excuse to see it, and it will not damage the morale of the army and the support of the people.
