The average airship builder will of course want to create the perfect work. However, the reason why anti-gravity devices cannot be popularized is, of course, cost and technology.

The principle of this device is to use several precious magical materials to create a device called the Floating Stone, which is fixed to the airship and carries the hull out of gravity. Not only is the manufacturing cost high, but the continuous replenishment of subsequent power is also a terrifying expense. And the top-of-the-line floating stone is undoubtedly the top-level device used on the five empty islands to be powered by the Miser Energy Core.

On the other hand, there are very few magicians who can make floating stones, especially the larger the floating stones, the more difficult it is to make. That's not just a matter of magnifying the small floating stone a few times.

In addition, it is necessary to integrate the magic array and supply the pipeline of magical power, and install it on an airship with limited space, becoming a veritable 'anti-gravity device', and the knowledge required is even more complex and complex.

That being said, none of the above is a problem for someone who can transform a magic tower to the point that no one else can imitate. What's more, someone completed the relevant design plan a long time ago, but they just couldn't find the opportunity to put it into practice. Now is the time to experiment.

After explaining the various parts of the new airship, Lin began to assign work. "First of all, I took the lead in the main hull, and then Totokani and Polly, Jermaine, Marit, and Freya were in charge. Then Reilly, the Chopper is for you to use, and your task is to get enough wood. I'll give you the list of requirements and specifications later. ”

"Using a ship-chopper? Am I alone? The honest and reticent Silverbeard Dwarf was flattered or a little surprised to be excluded from important work.

In this regard, Lin explained: "Don't bluff people by looking at the name of the ship chopping knife, that thing was originally used to saw wood." As for the logging work entrusted to you, it is because although the work seems boring and simple, the wood needed to repair the airship is not something that can be used casually, and there are many requirements. When it comes to machining, it's no easier than striking iron. But you can't waste too much manpower on this, so you can only leave it to you who are the most trustworthy and capable of completing the homework alone. You know what your good brother looks like. ”

"Hey!" Swept by the meaning, Jermaine shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes. So leave that to me. Reilly duly made up for his brother's stab. Jemaine, of course, again: "Hey! Am I so unbearable? ”

Regardless of the displeasure of a certain dwarf, Lin turned his head to look at his two apprentices and said, "Your work is not easy. You have to distill and separate the oil from the original airship to purify its properties as much as possible. However, the remaining residues should not be discarded casually and may come in handy depending on the situation. ”

"Distillation?" "Separation?" Two girls, one with one question, tilted their heads to look at their teacher.

Previously, when he found out that Totokani's airship was fuel-powered, Lin went out of his way to look at the oil. Sure enough, although the oil was dug up, it was still in a fairly primitive state, without any refining, and there were quite a lot of impurities.

Impurities mostly represent easy carbon deposits, which is the main source of black smoke. At the same time, the efficiency of combustion will be reduced, so that the machine will not be able to use the power of the original design, and this situation will get worse.

Using distillation to separate, it is not expected to obtain aviation-grade fuel, at least to remove impurities and purify as much as possible. As long as this action is done, the engine's life, horsepower and service intervals can be increased.

So Lin said: "I have taught you a lot of relevant chemistry knowledge in the past. If you don't understand, you can read books and ask people. But don't think of relying on others for everything, just waiting for them to call the shots. If you are just cleaning, cooking, and helping in experiments all your life, then anyone can replace you. So keep trying, if you want to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, I don't have the time to keep an eye on your progress. ”

This was said quite seriously, and the expressions of the two girls became serious. From childhood to adulthood, when their teacher said some truths very seriously, he didn't listen carefully, he would always change some methods to impress people, and then he would suffer a lot more. But someone's request was also a little unprepared for them, so Qi turned his head to look at their sister.

"Don't look at it." Lin said, "Your sisters, you also have something to do. ”

Hearing that he was named, Fen cast a curious look, but did not speak. Lin directly threw a list of requirements, went to Fen's virtual vision, and said, "The part of program control has to trouble you." The hardware part of the airship, I didn't take them with me, and I would be uneasy to stare at the side. And for the software part, there is no more suitable and reassuring candidate than you. ”

After a little skimming through the requirements, it didn't look like something that came out in a hurry. The interfaces, processes and situations of the various mechanical controls above are clearly stated. It won't be a big problem to do; The problem is that that's too much.

Again, he didn't speak, just glanced at someone with his eyes. Lin Huiyi said: "In the early stage, when the hardware is not yet completed, the program only needs to build a general framework. Wait until the later stage with the hardware, and then adjust it together. I'll ask Freya to help you as long as progress allows. In addition, the demand may change during the manufacturing process. So in terms of the degree of freedom of adjustment, please bother more. ”

Fen nodded, and went straight to the list. At this time, Uzov Gantia, who was not named, asked: "Your Excellency Tripwood, I also need to rely on everyone's efforts to get out of this mountain alive. But I also know that my knowledge is not useful when it comes to repairing airships. So where you need labor, please let me help you a little bit. ”

"No, no, no, there is a very important job that must be entrusted to you."

"Please."

"That's hunting."

"Hunting?" Although he was puzzled at first, Uzov soon noticed that most of the supplies and food reserves had been destroyed in the fire after the airship fell. How to ensure the source of food has become the most important thing. As for the water, it is a snowy world outside, so there is no need to worry about the source of drinking water.

But it's really difficult for him, who was originally an assassin, to do the job of a hunter. Especially now that it's still very cold in the mountains, and with snow everywhere, it's even more difficult to find prey. And that's not even counting the levels of the magical beasts that are active in the Jura Mountains. A few hunters are just here to stuff these monsters.

But what needs to be done has to be done, or everyone will go hungry, let alone get out alive. So Uzov gritted his teeth, patted his chest and promised: "Leave it to me." ”

"Oh, that's pretty trustworthy." After complimenting him, Lin said to Kaya, "Girl, bring that rifle here." ”

Someone made a short gun, and also made a machine gun, how could he not make a long gun. But the use of the spear was really not much for the group.

In a war against centaurs, a spear will not come in handy. In ordinary times, self-defense is also the world of short guns. Although it has been tweaked specifically for hunting, Kaya prefers the crossbow and Harumi is a sling, so this rifle has not had a chance to make an official appearance since it was completed.

But for now, if you have to ask Uzov to hunt, this rifle will come in handy. In view of the fact that after the magic bullet hits, it will cause a great degree of damage to the target object, which means that the part that is hit cannot be eaten at all, the rifle has made design adjustments.

Its attack is in the form of armor-piercing, that is, the magic bullet does not remain in the target's body, but mainly penetrates. In this way, it is possible to prevent the destruction of the magic power inside the target from expanding, and reducing the edible parts.

Such a transformation causes the attack power of the magic gun to drop significantly. The lethality of this rifle is even inferior to the imitation PPK that the two girls are used to. This is one of the reasons why things are discarded after they are ready.

However, this rifle is also specially designed for hunting, and is loaded with a small Arcane Eye and Water Mirror Magic Stone. Together, it can detect areas within a radius of one to three kilometers, and no life form can hide.

And because it is a magic gun, even ordinary people, in the process of aiming, strong emotions may control the direction of shooting to a low extent. Therefore, as long as the hole, crosshair, and target are in a line, and the psychological hope is strong that it can be hit smoothly, 100 shots and 100 hits will become the enchantment effect of the firearm. The disadvantage, of course, is that it is easy to get mentally tired, because mental energy is consumed during shooting.

After demonstrating the various functions of the future rifle, Lin put the gun in Uzov's hand and warned: "Although it is very convenient to use, there are always some weaknesses in new weapons that we have not yet discovered, so please be careful." If you really face a threat to your life, please pull the bolt and shoot the magic stone in the magazine with live ammunition. Such an approach is not the same as the original power. However, the amount of ammunition is limited. Considering that we are leaving, we may need magic stones to provide powers to start or run airships, so please use them sparingly in this regard. ”

Uzov, who took over the rifle, opened the map of life detection, which was displayed on the water mirror screen. Because it is a rough indicator map for hunting, the map does not have much useless information, just contour lines that outline the height of the terrain and points of light that mark life.

The points of light range from white to colorful colors, with white representing ordinary beasts without magical powers, and magical beasts corresponding to their colors according to the level classification of the Adventurer's Guild. As you can see from the picture, the most are of course white light spots, but there are also a few colored light spots, most of which are distributed between green and cyan, which can be regarded as medium and high-level magical beasts.

By the way, the group of snow wolves killed last night will be yellow-green on the map, judging by the detection of the rifle. In terms of ability value, it can be said that it is the weakest monster in the detection range, but it is superior to them in numbers.
