As it is a temporary forward base, there is no lighting in the airfield, and the runway on the ground is not lighted, which means that the planes can only take off during the day.

"Fill up the gas! Fill up the gas! ”

"Check the dashboard, check the balance rudder, check the joystick, check the pipeline, check the transmission shaft, check the gun chain, check the propeller, check the tail..."

Around each plane, shouts rang out one after another.

Nowadays, the size of the air force has been repeatedly expanded, and the goblins in the air force have slowly changed from the majority to the minority, and more work is undertaken by human soldiers, which has further increased the number of human engineers in the Iva Air Force. Much of the work of maintaining the day-to-day operation of the aircraft is undertaken by human soldiers trained by goblins.

Iva's human engineers have long since begun to break away from the support of the goblins and begin to research and build airplanes on their own.

For greater optimization of the existing aircraft, and also to meet Locke's requirements ... Forehead... With Locke's strong support and some cosmetic guidance, the engineers began to make significant improvements to the helicopter. Today, the appearance of the helicopter parked on the lawn has changed dramatically.

Almost all the planes are in the driver's seat, and they are equipped with some rudimentary clear glass cabins. And, in the middle of the airport, several helicopters, much larger than the others, were quietly parked there.

They... But the history of blood and tears and pride of Eva engineers....

First of all, they are huge, with a pair of short wings extending out of their fuselage to the left and right, each with two hardpoints, each of which carries a 30mm single-barreled cannon. Together with the cannons in the nose, the number of cannons in each aircraft reached five.

This seemingly simple modification has been studied by Eva's engineers for many years. In order to overcome the problems that arise... Looking back, Eva's engineers can be said to have tears on their faces.

For Locke, a time-traveler, he always can't help but compare things in this world with his previous life. But through his understanding of the world's engineering science, he found that the world is not as different from the engineering disciplines of his original world as he imagined.

Although, it's still quite primitive.

This is actually mainly because the human beings in this world do not recognize this kind of thing very much.

If you don't approve it, it means that very few people use it. This is evidenced by the fact that only goblins and gnomes use engineering on the planet Azeroth. Humans and dwarves would rather spend a lot of time taming griffons than use mechanical flying machines, why?

As I said earlier, engineering in this world is still in a relatively primitive stage. Accidents have hindered people's love for this kind of thing. If nothing else, would you use a phone that freezes and explodes frequently? Would you like it?

In the same way, a thing was invented, because it was the first generation of machines, and the failure rate was too high to be recognized and no one used it. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the creator to generate a new passion to transform and refine the machine. Other mechanical creations will face this problem.

In this case, the scientific and technological development of this world will come to a standstill, and only those who are truly interested in this discipline will continue to study until the last patience is exhausted.

In fact, the main reason for the emergence of this is that there is no unified standard for engineering in this world. For example, the goblins and gnomes, two races that have become inseparable from engineering in their lives, do not have a concept of a unified standard within themselves.

Locke was also surprised when he found out, almost every goblin and dwarf who relied on engineering students to survive, they strictly followed the standards they had set!

Yes! You read that right! It's the standard they set 'themselves'!

Each goblin hides the blueprints of his mechanical creations as treasures, and then makes his own things that require all of them; From screws as small as a few centimeters to cutting steel plates as large as several meters, the engineers operate them themselves. Especially the material of steel, engineers know that the material of steel is very important, and some minerals should be added in different proportions when smelting, which determines the quality of steel when it is baked.

All of the above is done by each independent engineer with his own apprentice. Almost every engineer doesn't communicate with each other about what they have in their own hands. This has led to an uneven level of development in engineering...

And there is also the phenomenon that every engineer must be a rich man ... Because their research requires a lot of mineral resources or other things, ordinary people simply can't afford it. But every time engineers create something worthwhile, they are noticed by others. Then the engineer may have all the expenses of the past few years back, and even make a lot of money.

This also led to the fact that most of the inheritance of the project was circulated among the wealthy...

money, but also restricts the spread of engineering.

What the? You say that every engineer has a large number of apprentices?

Oh yes, there are tons of apprentices...

But the sad thing is that these apprentices may be apprentices for the rest of their lives. Because they're the cheapest labor for engineers, engineers aren't kind enough to teach you how to eat, unless you're a relative, a junior in the family, or... Rich.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people are ingenious and will look at it?

Locke was also deeply surprised, it turned out that there is also a concept in this world, that is, the apprentice of the church starved to death of the master...

So, in the end, Locke found that there were various reasons that constrained the spread of engineering. That's why magic is rife on this planet.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are other great gods who do not want engineering to spread in Azeroth. After all, this thing has developed in the later stages, who still has faith?

Far from it...

By now, many of Locke's Army officers have been critical of the Air Force, even if the Air Force has already made great gains.

If it weren't for Locke's prescient unification of Eva's metrics and standards, Eva's current Air Force development would be difficult...

At that time, Locke's idea was directly applied to the old aircraft and directly modified... The aircraft was equipped with short wings on both sides, which increased the number of cannons on both sides ....

After the modification of the aircraft, the power did increase. But then the number of shells consumed by the plane will be much faster, so that the plane will be out of bullets in a few minutes of fighting in the sky.

Good! The engineers decided with great interest! Then increase the drum space on the plane! As long as the drum capacity increases, the bullets of the plane will be enough!

Yes, increasing the drum capacity has greatly increased the time for the aircraft to fight in the sky, but this problem has arisen again. The speed at which the planes could supply bombs could not keep up with the speed consumed by the five cannons, and the guns fired bullets intermittently. And the weight of the aircraft has increased a lot, the original steel structure can not bear it and began to break, and the power of the aircraft is too low to ensure a smooth take-off....

Problems arise again...

The engineers of Iva tragically discovered that the aircraft was at risk of being redesigned....

It was already difficult for the existing aircraft architecture to support two short wings and three external cannons, but at the request of their Grand Lord, the weapon systems he had requested had to be added. The plane can only be reluctantly added, not to mention whether it can go to the sky, it will also end up falling apart. Even if it doesn't fall apart, the speed and agility of the aircraft will inevitably suffer.

It's all the result of Locke's command...

If it weren't for the high salaries of their gang and the generous treatment of their families, they would have quit a long time ago...

What to do? Can only be redesigned... Refit.... Eva's engineers were only able to play for a long time...

Their lord always made various modifications to these prototypes that were being tested, but the previous aircraft skeleton could not support what he requested, so he could only find a way to improve the steel material and enlarge the previous aircraft skeleton at the same time... But the engineers also found that when the bones of the plane were enlarged, almost all the parts were larger! But all the existing machine tools that make these parts can not be made by modification, and most of the machine tools have to be rebuilt or developed....

This is a disaster for the engineers trained by Eva...

Helplessly, Eva's engineers can only build it by hand and take a look first...

Then, after all the hard work to build a few strange-shaped planes, the big lord nodded with satisfaction, but the engineers were annoyed to find that the big guy was facing other problems when he took off....

The plane still can't take off, the power problem is still not solved ....

As the actual leader of the goblins on the Iva side, Gates has a soft spot for this. He took the goblin engineer and made many improvements to the original engine, and directly increased the power of the engine by five times!! However, after several explosions, the experiment still did not progress after injuring many goblin engineers.

Until one of the goblins patted his head and said that the engine of the airship was very powerful. Why don't we try to put the engine on the airship?

At first, the goblins laughed at him, because the airship's engine system was so large that it could cover a house. Such a power system is installed on an airplane, so what is an airplane?

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and Gates took the engine drawings of the airship and studied them carefully, and found that it was possible. So they combined the power system of the airship with reference to the power system of the airship, and reluctantly cobbled together a new engine...

Despite repeated downtimes, the new engine was a success. He made the original airplane engine at least five times more powerful, which made everything Locke wanted to put on the plane a reality.

Then the engineers assembled the plane with great interest, and on the day of the test flight, the plane had just taken off and plunged headlong into the ground....

The balance is not enough... It also needs to be redesigned...

In the end, it was found that the reason was that the tail was too close to the fuselage, and the aircraft was unbalanced in front and rear .... Yes, the fuselage has to be redesigned again ....

In short, in the past few years, these problems have continued to appear.

As the only customer of the aircraft, the Air Force actually does not look down on these strange new aircraft. It's just that their great lord still insists on going his own way....

After redesigning the new drawings of the previous aircraft, the engineers of Eva worked hard for a long time, and the aircraft was finally able to take off.

When the plane flies in the sky, then the problem comes again ...

This is an old problem, and the plane's cannon jams intermittently.

After research, it was found that although each cannon is equipped with some auxiliary equipment, and the device has a separate ammunition supply slot, the ammunition supply speed is indeed much faster, but the drum chamber is still uneven in supplying ammunition to the five cannons at the same time, which will still cause the cannon to be stuck in the air from time to time...

In order to deal with the problem of cannon ammunition, the goblins brainily installed a small generator in the back of the plane, which supplied the five 30mm cannons on the entire plane with electricity.

Problem solved.

When the plane can fly smoothly in the sky, smoothly hitting the cannon shells on the ground, the Iva engineers are really in tears!

But when Locke saw it, he was still a little dissatisfied... He forced the engineers to cover the fuselage with iron sheets ... It is said that it is to protect these exposed key parts, and also to prevent the enemy from knowing the real situation inside the aircraft,

So when the engineers asked Locke to visit the planes again, Locke couldn't help but come forward and pet them, although it was still very different from the planes he had seen in his previous life...

The engines on the left and right sides of the helicopter are placed on the left and right edges of the belly, which looks a little weird. If it weren't for the four propellers overhead, it would look a lot like a modern fighter jet, except that it takes off and lands vertically. However, this is still within the acceptable range, you must know that this is already an epoch-making invention, and it is not easy to achieve this kind of situation in a world where technology is not very developed.

Locke was satisfied, and finally made something different.

As for whether it will later evolve into a modern fighter or a helicopter, it doesn't matter to Locke. The seeds of Iva technology have been planted and carried forward, and it will be up to him to see how it develops in the future.

According to the engineers, because of the protective glass panel installed in front of the pilot, the fuselage of the aircraft is also covered with steel plates, and the aircraft will travel much faster in a straight line than before, but because of the increase in weight and size, it is no longer possible to make various flexible and maneuverable flight skills like the previous small aircraft.

And because of the generator on the plane, the dashboard and cockpit of the aircraft are equipped with lights. Under the nose of the aircraft is installed a movable searchlight. This allows the plane to take off at night, but it may be difficult to fight.

In addition, this new helicopter can be piloted by one person or operated by two people. It can be difficult to drive alone, and it can be dangerous if you don't have enough energy. It's much easier if two people fly the plane, one of them pilots the plane, and the other operates the plane's weapons systems. Of course, the co-pilot can also fly the aircraft, and the main pilot can also control the weapon. The two can switch at will.

When the Air Force girls bravely jumped on the plane and flew the plane smoothly and at high speed in the sky, Locke was rarely excited. This is the first time he has touched his previous life in so many years since he came to this world.

However, it is not enough, and it needs to be improved gradually. Of course, this batch of aircraft can be put into production. As for the later improvements, you can take your time and find problems in use to improve the problems...

And then sell the old plane to someone else? ...

As for what kind of changes it will bring to this world, Locke smiled and pouted, his appearance is the biggest change for this world itself.

Will the Industrial Revolution happen in this world? That was his business, in fact he wanted to see what they would think of this industrial change in a world full of legends.

"Apache! Apache! Goblin Cledge shouted around the new planes, and soon eight girls surrounded them.

Cleich snorted a few times, and saluted the girls who stood in front of him in a row with characters much taller than him.

"Seriously, as a pilot, I'm really envious that you guys can fly this kind of plane..."Klic looked enviously at the helicopter behind them, "This is the most advanced aircraft in Iva... No! ”

"This is the most advanced plane on the planet!" Not one of them! ”

"Captain Cliffy, you were the first to fly such an airplane. You're not flying any shorter than we are. ”

In the face of the girls' ridicule, Klic smacked his lips, and he said with some grievances, "I'd rather not be the captain and be the pilot of these planes..."

Speaking of which, Klic was also quite aggrieved and helpless, he couldn't understand why Locke would treat the test pilot as a treasure, so that he was not allowed to fly these new planes....

Isn't a test pilot something that anyone can do ....

After a brief pause, Klitch cleared his throat and coughed a few times and said, "Don't interrupt, I hope you understand your worth." You are Eva's most precious treasure, yours..."

"You're worth immeasurable, aren't you? Captain? Credge laughed at the girls' snatching, and he always liked to say that to every girl.

"Yes, if the war is unfavorable, if you can get out of the battlefield, you can get out of the battlefield. The fighters you are flying are all prototypes, and there is a lot of experimental data to collect, so if you can, don't damage it. But if you can't save it, then save your lives and parachute out of the battlefield, understand? ”
