Chapter 587: The First Air Crash in History
Before a terrified Orlando could figure out what had happened and why he was still alive, the Archdemon of Clipgan, who had completed his mission, disappeared into thin air with an eerie flash of fire and a signature sound.
Then Orlando finally saw clearly what it was that was cut in two by the other party.
It was a pipe, a hollow pipe that was obviously made of metal, the outer diameter of the pipe was large, and now, the pipe had been cut by the Archdemon Kerrigan, and the sharp long-handled scythe and the strong force of the Great Demon made the cut of the pipe extremely smooth.
Orlando's level was too low, so he didn't know what the use of this pipe on the deck of the flying ship was, he only saw a milky white gas snorting out of the broken pipe, and there was a lot of it, and it was endless.
What kind of gas is this? What kind of pipeline is this? These two questions flashed through Orlando's mind, but the joy of immortality soon made him forget about it, and he got up from the deck with a shudder, scrambling to check whether he was injured, and was very happy that he could follow the careful practice of the drill code to give himself a magic shield before the battle, but he did not notice how ugly the face of a high-ranking magician not far from him turned after seeing the milky white gas leaking from the broken pipe.
"Plug that pipe! Don't let the gas leak out! ”
The magician screamed, his tone full of panic, causing the other magicians around him to look at each other in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
Isn't it just a pipe cut by the enemy? Some people share Orlando's thoughts, and they don't know what that pipeline means to the flying ship beneath their feet.
It was a pipe that extended from the inside of the hull and connected directly to the float to transport the buoyancy air.
The designer of the flying ship obviously did not give too much thought to the practicality of the flying ship at the beginning, perhaps because the designer has been carried away by the huge surprise brought by the buoyancy, maybe because the flying ship was not used in the military field at the beginning of the design, maybe because the designer lacked enough imagination and creativity, maybe because the designer's thinking has entered a misunderstanding, or maybe because of some other reason, in short, as Chen Jian thinks, the flying ship of the Kingdom of Bracada, There are many extremely serious flaws and hidden dangers in the design.
And the most serious flaw is the three huge external floats.
It is true that the plug-in type has the advantages of the plug-in type, such as the plug-in type is more convenient to grasp the overall balance of the flying ship, etc., but such a design is obviously not suitable for use on the battlefield.
The Bracada magicians used a simple method to connect the float to the float with a special metal pipe, and then they designed another pipe to drain the float to the float vent, so that they could adjust the amount of float in the float inside the ship, so that they could adjust the height of the float.
There is nothing wrong with such a design, but as I said before, this rudimentary design really shouldn't be on a ship that is used as a warship.
However, this may also have a lot to do with the strong self-confidence of the magicians, who may never have imagined that someone would be able to break through the double blockade of their powerful magic and flying classes and rush to the airship to destroy it.
Of course, this may not be a mistake in the design of the magicians, after all, the mechanical technology of this world is still at a fairly primitive level, and the magicians themselves are not masters in this industry, magic and alchemy are their specialty, and they can drum up a battleship that can fly into the sky under such conditions, which is already a great achievement, and they can't expect them to do this new thing so perfectly from the beginning, maybe they will realize this problem in the future, But definitely not now.
The strict secrecy of the mages may also be one of the important reasons for this situation, just imagine, this important secret is not only qualified by high-level magicians, but only the goblin craftsmen who participated in the creation of the flying ship but were severely gagmatized.
Other people don't even know the principle of why flying empty ships can fly, so how can they put forward suggestions for improvement?
Or maybe someone among those who know the secrets of the airship has figured it out, but who in Bracada would dare to question this great masterpiece? The magicians who regarded the Immortal King as a god would never dare, because it was said that the great Immortal King also participated in the important design of the airship, who would have thought that the wise Immortal King would make such a low-level mistake? Maybe there's something special about it; As for those goblin craftsmen, they are only slaves of the magicians in Bracada, and they don't even have many human rights, and of course they don't have the right to speak, and no goblin will be bored to think about this kind of thing, and it is the right thing to complete the work assigned by the magicians so as not to be beaten and scolded.
In short, the flying air ship that was not suitable for the battlefield but was used as a warship was designed by the magicians, and then it was robbed by Jian Chen.
Although Jian Chen is a traverser, if you want him to build an air warship from scratch, he will never be able to build it, but with a wealth of knowledge that people in this world do not have, he wants to make some improvements to the stolen Bracada flying ship, but it is more than enough.
His vast knowledge of the Earth allowed him to quickly discover many of the major flaws in the airship, and then he made various important suggestions for its redesign, and asked the little Hesfa to implement them, and the Alliance's air warships were just baked.
By the way, Jian Chen did not forget to use these flaws as a weapon to strike at his opponent.
In Sylvia's possession, there was an anatomy of the Bracada air battleship that Chen Jian asked Little Hesfa to provide to the First Fleet, and in this dozens of pages of dissection, Little Hesfa used eye-catching colors to identify and explain in detail all the fatal or non-fatal flaws of this air battleship called the flying airship by the Bracada magicians, for the First Fleet's reference against the enemy.
With this anatomy map, Sylvia, who was already an expert in shipbuilding, of course, easily figured out the weaknesses of the enemy's airships, and trained his flying units in this area very early.
Now, she's just leaving the task of destroying the enemy's airship in the hands of the Black Dragons to Archdemon Kregan, who is clearly better equipped for the job in this situation.
In addition to the inconspicuous pipeline at Orlando's feet, the Magic Light Skyship has been destroyed in many places by the archdemons who act as the special attack team of the Alliance Army, and the three huge floats have now been opened by more than a dozen big demons, and the pipes used to transport the floats are also destroyed, and the thick iron cables that hang and fix the floats have also been cut a lot, and the bottom half of the full iron cable fell heavily on the deck, knocking down some mages who were defenseless against it, There was a scream, if it weren't for the magic shield that the magician had blessed before the battle, maybe someone would have been stoned to death on the spot.
But this attack was not a successful operation from the perspective of the Alliance Army, if it weren't for the fact that the Archdemon Krigan himself was also jealous because of the prestige of the previous Bracada magicians and the large number of enemy flying troops around the flying ships, and acted too cautiously, and a small number of people also temporarily abandoned those difficult targets because of their cowardice and lack of confidence in their own tactics, so that there were some problems with each other's cooperation, The airship was supposed to have destroyed most of its vital buoyant-related devices during this attack, and then was immediately incapacitated.
But even so, the Magic Light Flyship was still fatally damaged by the combined blow of the Archdemon Kerrigan, and the heavy air leakage everywhere made the Skyship no longer able to maintain its original height, and one of the floats on the left side of the rear of the ship was almost cut off from the airship's main body, which caused the Skyship to lose its balance, and then under the horrified gaze of all the Bracada soldiers, the hull of the Magic Light Skyship began to tilt to the left.
Although the magicians have tried their best to minimize the weight of the flying ship, in any case, the huge flying ship still has an amazing weight because of its size, and this weight, after the flying ship lost its balance, brought a huge burden to the hull, some iron cables and fixed brackets that were not attacked by the big demons broke on their own because they could not withstand this change in this situation, and the huge hull also made a tooth-squeaking cracking sound, and finally, The float on the left side of the hull finally broke away from the airship, and as the leaking float drifted away from the cable bracket that connected the float and the airship, the airship, which was losing height, suddenly tilted to the left.
The sudden change caused the magicians who were standing on the deck of the airship to lose their balance and scream and fall to the ground because they didn't have time to grab the things in their hands, and then their bodies rolled all the way along the deck that had been tilted to the unstandable, slammed into the side of the ship and were bounced up, and finally were thrown out of the air, dancing in midair, and some unsecured things on the deck were also the same fate as these magicians, wooden chests containing sundries, huge crossbow arrows stacked on the deck, Spare parts for repairs, tables and chairs for the magicians to rest temporarily, and some barrels of unknown use, flew into the air with the hapless magicians, then tumbled, spun, and fell to the sea below or the battleship.
The inside of the flying ship was also a mess because of this flying disaster, and the magicians and goblins who stayed inside the cabin became rolling gourds one by one, and they didn't know what was going on outside, and they were hit by more various things and bulkheads in the cabin than on the deck, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, their heads were broken and bleeding, and some guys with bad character directly hit something sharp, and they died on the spot.
The first air crash in the history of the Erathia continent officially happened at this moment, on this battlefield in full swing.
