Li Shizhao's inference is based on a basic premise.

Although Daxia Continent has embarked on a different development path from Dahua Continent, their development height should be at a basically equivalent level, and there is no generation gap that is too large. Only then can we compare the situation of Dahua Continent with the situation of Daxia Continent.

If the generational difference between the two is too great, and the glass beads that the primitive tribes consider priceless are just worthless products on the assembly line of industrial civilization, then they will lose their comparative value.

However, although they knew very little about the situation in Great Xia Continent, Mo Yuan believed that the premise of this assumption still stood up. Forty years is not too long, although Dahuazhou and Daxiazhou are on different paths, but unless everyone in Daxiazhou is open, it would be too mysterious to want to get rid of the more profound Dahuazhou in this continent-level competition.

What's more, if Da Xia Zhou's pace had really left Da Hua Zhou far behind, it would not have waited until now to start exploring the new world almost tentatively.

Therefore, Mo Yuan used Dahuazhou's experience to judge that the overall cost of this airship was at least more than one billion, and even if Daxiazhou went further in this regard, it would be impossible to open a qualitative gap.

This kind of judgment may seem of little value, but it allows them to look at the pulse of the entire Great Xia Continent from a more macro perspective.

If this airship is really as popular as the vehicles of the old era, then the future development strategy of Flying Fish Island will have to be completely reversed.

After looking around outside the airship, Mo Yuan walked towards the hatch first.

"Let's go, go in and have a look. ”

The sections were divided into rooms of different sizes and functions, and there was nothing to see, just a cursory glance and a walk through the hallway. All the way to a relatively separate compartment area at the far end of the other side.

There are some exposed pipes, a console-like setup in the center, several rows of neatly numbered hand bars and buttons, and some buttons in different colors on the walls.

Except for the side behind them, which is connected to the other cabins, the other three directions have a very good view, with large pieces of complete transparent material that allow them to clearly see the outside scene.

Even the top of the head and the feet are mostly made of this material. There is a 45-degree inclined horizontal screen above and below the diagonal slope, which can be seen above the airbag on the top of the airship and under the cabin at the bottom of the airship.

It is conceivable that when the airship flies in the sky, in this space, you can completely grasp the situation of the airship in all directions, up and down, left and right, front and back, without dead ends.

Looking at everything in this room, there are many things he can't understand, and he has to guess, but his interest has not diminished at all.

Finally, he asked Li Shizhao, "Can you fly and try it?"

Li Shizhao nodded and said: "After they were captured that day, we conducted a separate interrogation of each person, all of which were targeted, those airship operators are the objects of our secret focus, they themselves have a clear division of labor, and, in order to prevent some harm caused by human error, the same kind of post is basically equipped with less than two people and more than three people cross operations, and then after their answers are comprehensively sorted out, plus our own exploration, we have mastered the basic flight functions." In fact, after today, our test crew has already made two small test flights. ”

When Mo Yuan heard this, he said excitedly: "Then fly up and take a look!"

"Okay, I'll let them prepare. ”

In this regard, Li Shizhao has been prepared for a long time, and today he accompanied the owner of the island to see the airship, and it was strange if he didn't really fly into the sky to try it.

Soon, the Flying Fish Island test personnel, who had been exploring and studying for a while, were in place and began to operate on the different button levers, and they also reported the instructions loudly in their mouths for everyone in the room to hear.

"Master No. 1, ready to go. ”

"No. 1 auxiliary position, start the heat engine. ”

"The second main position, the air valve is normal. ”

"The third auxiliary position, the vision is clear. ”

“......”

The cabin was completely in a working state, Mo Yuan listened with interest for a while, and found that under such a decomposition and division of labor, the whole operation was actually very simple, because the work that everyone had to complete was equivalent to doing a simple multiple-choice question of "yes" and "no", and when everything was put together, it included all the actions of the airship, and as for more, it couldn't do it, it was so mechanical and simple.

Mo Yuan even thought that if it was put in the old calendar era, only one person would be able to do it, and all the actions would be integrated through intelligent information.

Li Shizhao gestured to Mo Yuan and led him into a room next to this cabin.

He pointed to the slowly starting machinery that took up almost half of the room, and said, "This is the heart of the entire airship. ”

Mo Yuan looked at this strange-looking metal machine, and said in a speculative tone: "Steam engine?"

Li Shizhao nodded sometimes and shook his head, and said:

"Actually, to figure out how to manipulate it to fly, it didn't take too much time for everyone, and more of everyone's energy was actually on this machine, if it weren't for the old principal's personal speech to deter the professors in the university, they would have already dismantled this thing and moved it back to the school laboratory for dissection. After research, this machine does borrow the principles of the steam engine of the old era, including many other aspects of mechanical engineering, but there are also many new things, which should belong to this era, the unique achievements of the Great Xia Continent. ”

Li Shizhao said: "There are many things contained in it that no one has studied and understood, but it is very simple to use. ”

He came to a row of wooden cabinets against the wall, opened one of the cabinets, and found that there were neatly placed cubes with a length of about ten centimeters, width and height.

And, from their texture, he even saw their essence at a glance -

Wood?

Li Shizhao picked one up, handed it to Mo Yuan, and said: "This machine, there is neither water, nor water vapor, nor coal and charcoal in it, so that the entire airship can fly and explore the sea frontier for thousands of miles, behind all this, it is this wood that provides the initial force." ”

Speaking of this, he picked up a cube of wood again, opened a valve on the machine, and could see that there was a similar cube of wood burning calmly and slowly, emitting a faint green flame, Mo Yuan not far away couldn't even feel the heat coming from there, but he felt another power - aura.

Li Shizhao put the cube in his hand on top of the burning one like adding honeycomb coal, and then closed the valve again, sealing the leaking aura disturbance inside.

Li Shizhao said: "After testing, such a cube of wood can support the entire airship to fly in the air for two hours, if the output power is increased, the load is larger, the speed is faster, and the consumption will be accelerated accordingly." ”

Mo Yuan's spiritual power carefully scanned the seemingly ordinary piece of wood in his hand while listening to Li Shizhao's introduction.

Under the careful scanning of his spiritual power, he finally discovered the unusualness in this seemingly ordinary wood, and the aura that was originally active in the air was bound, blocked, and precipitated in the cell walls of this wood, and was solidified.

And the wood he saw burning inside the valve before was indeed not really "burning", but a means to stimulate the aura precipitated in it.

It was a green flame, but it was actually a special flame produced by the aura being stimulated from the wood in large quantities.

"This machine can not only release the special power contained in this wood, and automatically adjust it within a certain range, just like controlling the faucet to adjust the size of the flowing water, in addition, there are other functional partitions, one of which can make the density of the air much lower than the normal level, injected into the airbag through the pipe, and flexibly adjust the air density in the airbag according to the airship load, flight height, take-off and landing and other factors...... In other words, there is no special gas in the air bag, it is air, but the density becomes different. There is also an area where the air is extremely compressed. By spraying out from different directions of the airship through different pipes, the flight direction of the airship can be flexibly adjusted. Through the test, it can move forward against the blowing of the eight-level wind to the greatest extent. ”

Such a machine, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of this airship, because it is meant to be.

Eighth-level gale, on land, is already a very strong wind, people will feel very difficult to walk against the wind, but it can blow off tree branches, blow off tiles, but put on the sea, it is a bit insufficient. It can only cope with most of the situation, when the storm wind or even the typhoon hits, it can only be blown with the wind, however, because the quality of the airbag itself is extremely high, I don't worry about being damaged in such an environment, at most I can't move autonomously, and I am forced to walk away by the wind, and when the wind stops, it can naturally be corrected to the original position, but it takes some more time.

Moreover, such a harsh climate, even above the sea, does not happen very often, but only occasionally.

If you have the experience to take measures in advance, you can better avoid it.

It can be said that such an airship has an extremely strong survivability.

With the development of time, it is conceivable to occupy the skies of the entire planet again.

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and asked again, "How is its load capacity?"

Li Shizhao said: "The really useful part of the airship is the airbag, the command and control cabin in front, and this core cabin, with a total weight of about five tons, and the back cabins are all mounted, with ten tons, however, they can be removed, or even directly suspended with goods, and the maximum load can reach 100 tons." However, the larger the load, the more affected the flight, and under the premise of not affecting the flight, 60 tons is more appropriate. ”

Sixty tons, which is already very good.

At this moment, Mo Yuan and Li Shizhao walked out of the core cabin and came to the command cabin again, the shock-absorbing support frame that stretched out from the airship to the ground had been retracted, and the airship was slowly and steadily leaving the ground, constantly rising to a high altitude.

Under the control of the conductor, the airship performed a spin on the spot, and finally, flew towards the depths of the sparsely populated jungle.

And just outside the cabin, through the transparent crystal bulkhead, you can see seven spirit birds flying over from a distance, flying around this "big monster" with a curious and inquiring look in their eyes, and their eyes also look at Mo Yuan and them in the command cabin.

One of them seems to have taken an interest in the air sac overhead, flapping its wings and flying up.

Seeing that it was as sharp as a blade, and its sharp beak nearly a meter long was about to peck at the air sac, Mo Yuan immediately moved his mental power and drove it away.

The texture of this air bag is more than enough to defend against the fierce birds of the Great Martial Master level, but he is not sure whether the attack of the spirit bird can still be defended, and he does not dare to try. However, he was sure that he would not be able to stop their claws.

Although Mo Yuan did not directly control them, they were very familiar with Mo Yuan's breath and listened to him, although their spiritual intelligence was far from the level of humans, they were also much smarter than ordinary animals. From the time they were still chicks, Mo Yuan was by their side, and he gave them the opportunity to transform, which was deeply imprinted in their hearts. It's just that they can't command them like Zhen Zhen's arms and fingers.

Feeling Mo Yuan's intentions, they didn't attack the airbags, and flew around twice again before they stopped following and flew into the jungle to forage for food.

Now, the airship has risen to the most suitable altitude and is beginning to fly horizontally.

Mo Yuan said: "Try to fly as fast as possible." ”

When the airship flew up at maximum speed, Mo Yuan was slightly disappointed.

Is this speed more than 100 kilometers per hour?

He turned into a flying bird himself, and he could easily fly at a high speed seven or eight times as high, even if a spirit bird flew manned, he could fly four or five times as fast, and he had felt the state of flight in the air, and he had become accustomed to it, and then felt the speed of this airship.

It's a bit of a personal rush!

His body seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, as if urging, hurry up, you should hurry up.

His performance was not obvious, but Li Shizhao still saw it, and said a little helplessly: "Well, compared with the speed of those spirit birds, it really can't be compared, but in other aspects, it is completely victorious." ”

Mo Yuan nodded in agreement with his statement.

Limited by its shape, the faster the speed, the greater the flight resistance, and it is indeed much more difficult to increase the speed, but its value will not be much diminished by this.

Even if the speed of 100 kilometers per hour is what, if you continue to fly 10,000 kilometers, it is only a hundred hours, four or five days. Moreover, as long as the materials are well prepared, there is no need to rest, no need to eat, it can fly forever.

Mo Yuan thought for a while and said to Li Shizhao: "You say, how about we open an airship route between Dahua Island and Flying Fish Island?"
