469. Air barriers
While they were studying in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the work on the Steam Ironclad was still progressing steadily, but during this time, the nascent navy (with Hyde as the commander for the time being) presented them with a problem, they needed a new propeller to propel the ship to speed up and perform some unbelievable maneuvers.
Knowing that Morey attaches great importance to the navy, and then thinks of the huge military expenditure that is very likely to occur in the future, these goblins immediately began to study, and even did not hesitate to embezzle funds from other projects to continue research when the funds were insufficient in the later stage.
It's a pity that what they have created is very different from what the navy needs, if it is really according to the tiltable propeller they invented to make power, then the current hull shape absolutely needs to be overhauled, and it is developing in the direction of the arc, which conflicts with the speed requirements of the navy's first article, and Hyde will naturally not approve of this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, these goblins were not willing to fail, and still invested more in this project, trying to build a multi-purpose warship that could fly and sail, in order to avenge the humiliation.
Yes, in their opinion, what they have worked so hard to design, if you don't agree with it or don't buy it, it's the biggest humiliation for them.
And in order to slap the face, they even designed the first multi-purpose warship to be extremely large, wanting to overpower the navy in one fell swoop, but they were dumbfounded after only building a propeller to power the battleship, and the budget that was originally intended to be used to build a multi-purpose warship was squandered by them, just four propellers are gold-swallowing monsters, almost all the funds are swallowed, and the budget of the main hull is completely gone.
But he didn't want to hit it crookedly and solved the power problem of the space carrier.
......
When Morey came back with these four huge propellers with a bad face, the Sykes and his companions, who had already devoted all their energy to the transformation of the Helicarrier, didn't care how Morey brought these four propellers over, but immediately devoted themselves to the transformation work.
This state of dedication made Morey feel a lot better, and it was acceptable for such a dedicated employee to do something out of the ordinary sometimes.
In this way, while continuing to study with Yarman in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, Morey went to this forest in the western part of the continent from time to time to monitor the progress of the transformation.
Although he was a little busy, Morey enjoyed it.
Especially when I saw that they had preliminarily cleared out the entire space carrier and launched the floating ring for the first time.
Although the entire Helicarrier only flew one person high and then landed on an experimental basis, it was a great encouragement to everyone.
The equipment is in good condition, but it doesn't mean that they will be able to control this big guy to fly, if they don't activate all eight floating rings of different sizes, maybe this big guy will have to turn over here directly.
Therefore, this success gave everyone a [morale boost] super-large blessing technique, making them more confident to devote themselves to the next modification work.
Although the Helicarrier is still in the process of being refitted, Sykes and his crew have an important takeaway.
In fact, there is a huge magic circle hidden on the deck of the Helicarrier, once activated, it can form an invisible protective shield around the Helicarrier, blocking damage while reducing the resistance of the air to the aircraft, so that the speed of the aircraft can be exerted to the fastest.
However, for those goblin ancestors who could only develop a crappy power furnace, the speed increase brought by this [Air Barrier Array] did not have much effect, and it was mainly used to prevent the attack of some ranged weapons.
But for Morey, the situation is reversed, and now the miniaturization of the Flame Pillar Steam Engine is progressing extremely smoothly, and it is foreseeable that in the near future, every goblin ship will be equipped with this powerful heart, further speeding up the speed of the goblin ship.
But what bothered Sykes was that the goblin spacecraft was made of light hull materials because it had to fly, and the usual speed was fine, but once it flew at high speed, the damage to the spacecraft would be devastating, and if the hull material was changed because it was necessary to maintain high speed, then the loading weight would be greatly reduced, so there would be no point in doing so at all.
But if the goblin engineer eats the [Air Barrier Circle] engraved on the deck, then it will bring a qualitative leap to Morey's goblin spaceship troops.
High-speed goblin ships can try to break into more dangerous flight areas, and the ferocious flying creatures can't catch up with them, or they can even try to kill them directly by piloting the ship.
What's more, the strategic significance of the shortening of the time and space distance brought by the high speed is incomparably significant, if Red Leaf City is equipped with a high-speed goblin spaceship this time, then Morey can directly mobilize a large army from Red Leaf City, and he can arrive at Ohs City overnight, and directly attack the city.
In his previous life, he had seen the convenience of high-speed rail, and even when he came to this magical world, he never forgot it.
Whether it is an underwater transportation system or a high-speed goblin spacecraft, it is just a product of Morey's idea, and the so-called obsessibility must have repercussions, which is the truth.
This made Morey have to sigh that this Helicarrier is worthy of being the comprehensive embodiment of the highest goblin engineering technology in the Goblin Empire, even if it is just to understand one of the technologies can bring so many improvements.
From this, it can be imagined that if the transformation of this space carrier is really completed, even if this space carrier is only a semi-finished product, the inspiration it will definitely bring to Sykes in the end.
It's just that while the technology has made great progress, Morey's gold coins are also flowing out, and the income brought by Black Corner City has not lasted for a month before it is exhausted, and Morey is now in pain and happy.
However, at this moment of wanting to die, Morey suddenly received a message from his teacher, asking him to hurry back to the Scarlet Mage Tower.
Although he was a little depressed when he was disturbed during the vacation that he finally invited, he immediately returned to the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, knowing that his teacher would not be untargeted.
When Morey reached the top floor, he found that his teacher was drinking the iced potato tea he had brought back.
The expression on his face also looks relaxed, so it should be a good thing.
"I called you back to ask you, are you interested in the position of the lord of Ohs City?"
"Huh?"
Morey thought he was hallucinating, and his teacher called him over to ask him if he was interested in the position of the lord of the city.
Is this a big gift package just thrown to yourself?
Although the city of Ohs is very dilapidated and looks like a withered appearance, Morey knows that because the goal of the Drow army was mainly on the Tablet of Destiny, there was not much slaughter, and the population of the entire Ohs City counted those who died in the war and fled, and now only half of the people still living on this ruin, but there are also nearly 10,000 people, which is a huge demographic dividend.
Thinking of his true eye in the Far East, Morey was excited.
During this time, Vivien Haili has completely paved the trade route with the help of the militia she has helped, and she has occupied a little home advantage, and now if she becomes the lord of the city again, with his secret support and the friendship of Vivien Haili's rescue, I think there will be a situation soon.
And more importantly......
"This Ohus City doesn't seem to be far from the Heavenly Pit!"
