Chapter 515: Cui's Anti-Gravity Device
One of the things that surprised a traverser the most was the term 'gravity'. In a world where mathematics does not exist at all, and knowledge other than magic is quite barren, suddenly hearing a similar term in classical physics appears, someone should think that they are not normal.
But the fact is that the gravity referred to by the mirage is actually the so-called 'gravity' of the earth, but the understanding of this concept is still quite rudimentary.
It's like the 'anti-gravity device' that Lin will make next. Based on the apprentice-level magic of the Three Rings, the Floating Stone is created based on the gravity change, but in fact, in terms of use, only the Floating Stone itself will resist the gravity of the Lost Earth.
The device made by this means is called an 'anti-gravity device' by using various reinforcement means to firmly fix the floating stone on the hull of the airship to achieve the effect of freeing the airship from the constraints of gravity. But to be honest, it's just a bit scary in the name.
To put it simply, to lift a ball, it takes a certain amount of force. However, lifting the ball with the palm of the hand and lifting the ball with the tip of a needle must be handled differently at the point of contact. Otherwise, even if you use the same force to push the ball up with the tip of a needle, there is a high chance that the ball will be punctured.
In practice, the complete buoyancy of the airship is provided by the floating stone, and if the quality of the so-called 'anti-gravity device' is not good, the floating stone will float in mid-air, but the rest of the hull will fall to the ground.
This is usually due to the damage of the hull holding the floating rock, and after the two are separated, the airship that has lost its support can of course only be in close contact with the ground. And in order to strengthen the connection between the floating stone and the airship, all kinds of magic materials that take into account both toughness and rigidity, as if they didn't need money, desperately piled up around the floating stone.
However, if this kind of thing is only done, then Lin, the traverser who transformed the tower of the Great Sage, will be blind.
The reason why the water-patterned copper is all over the walls of the cabin, and the reason why the secret iron has infiltrated the keel, is to find a way to attach the magic of gravity control to the entire hull. It would be troublesome to hold a ball with a needle, but it would not be so much trouble to hold it with two hands.
However, the water pattern copper and the secret iron can only be used to depict the magic array, and do not have the effect of floating stones. In this regard, Lin intends to use the results of a past research.
Once, when making magic guns, I found that too dense power channels, that is, the formation patterns of magic arrays, would interfere with each other. An extended study of this phenomenon, when the magic arrays are within a certain distance from each other, when the conditions are met, they will resonate, and then magnify the effect of the magic to form a larger 'whole'. In fact, this is also a kind of magic array.
So with this foundation, can we develop a magic circle with the effect of floating stones? With this in mind, Lin once completed a simulation experiment and passed various verifications. It's just a matter of doing it and proving its effect.
The floating stone that was supposed to be spherical was replaced with a thin stone slab, evenly and symmetrically arranged on the hull of the entire airship, and then connected each floating stone slab with a magic array to form a huge resonant magic array. And the key point is the special magic stone mechanism that was removed from the peace armament of the silverbeard dwarves.
One of the key elements of resonance is the coherence of the magical power output of all nodes. It's not exactly the same, but it has different requirements depending on the number and location of the arrangement, and eventually it becomes a huge magic item.
Combined with the secret iron that has penetrated into the keel of the ship's hull, the characteristics of this magic material, in addition to being strong enough to strengthen the keel, also have a slight assimilation effect with the surrounding magic effects. That is to say, the Secret Iron Dragon Bone will also achieve a certain degree of gravity change effect under the influence of the Floating Stone Resonance Magic Array. It can be said to be the best keel repair material at the moment.
To adjust the power output of the Resonance Magic Array, according to someone's previous method of transforming the magic tower, it depends on the number of array lines, that is, the input of power. In this way, not only the calculation in the early stage, but also the modification of the later adjustment is also very laborious, and even a lot of raw materials will be wasted in order to modify.
However, such a problem can be avoided by using peacefully armed special magic stone mechanisms. In order to supply the power of each component of the Peace Armed Forces and thus generate power, the energy center of the Peace Armed Forces is an important component used to control the power output.
Multiple parts can be supplied at the same time, and the supply amount is different for each part. While the Silverbeard Dwarves are not doing a good job of control, the potential of the special magic stone mechanism is far beyond someone's expectations. It can be said that the entire set of peace armed forces actually has potential that can be tapped.
With the special magic stone mechanism of the peaceful armed forces as the core, and with Fen's control program, the large floating stone resonance magic array designed by Lin played a role without accident. Even during the experiment, if Fen's control did not reduce its output, this half-finished airship would probably have to float into the air with the support of a few Hongyao-level magic stones.

This also reflects another advantage of the improved Floating Stone Resonance Magic Circle, which consumes less power than if those stone slabs were made into a whole, that is, a whole ball. For such a result, someone is also relieved in his heart.
For Lin, arranging the Floating Stone Resonance Magic Array was a last resort. Because the existing materials are not enough to build an anti-gravity device with a floating stone as the core. If the reinforcement part is not done, I am afraid that the moment the floating stone is activated, the whole stone will break away from the airship and float straight into the air.
As for the other means of flight, they are basically either faced with a shortage of materials, or they only exist in theory, and someone has not even come up with the most basic design scheme. For example, two V2 rockets tied to the sides of the fusiform hull are enough to rush to the moon in one go.
When Tripwood's improved version of the Floating Stone Resonance Magic Array and the two engines used as propulsion mechanisms are completed, it can be said that the repair of the airship is more than half complete. The consumption of existing materials was also expected, so Lin asked Jermaine and Totokani to build a small engine with high adaptability, using oil other than light oil to use as a generator.
Of course, this is because of the need to make effective use of the results of the work that the two girls have been working on. Because oil and gas are not easy to collect, only a small amount is stored in special tanks for cooking. Light oil, also known as gasoline, is mainly supplied to the engines of the two propulsion mechanisms. Finally, asphalt, the residue of oil refining, is applied to the exterior of the ship's hull, between the surface of the wooden planks and the voids, to protect against wind and water.
Other fuels, including kerosene, diesel, and heavy oil, are used for the small engine, which is used as a generator. However, electricity cannot be stored directly in the Lost Land, so it has to go through a converted magic array before it can be transformed into power and stored in the special magic stone mechanism in the energy center of the airship.
However, the conversion efficiency of this method is very low, that is, most of the energy is reduced to entropy and wasted. But someone doesn't have the time to do the optimization design slowly, so they have to get by.
When the third engine for power generation is ready, the whole work is in the final stage.
All oil, except for fuel oil and oil gas, is poured into the power generation engine and burned. Under Jermaine's supervision, an endless stream of magical powers is generated, which is stored in that special magic stone mechanism.
Looking at the restored power, the silverbearded dwarf had an urge to stuff this thing back into the peace arm. Fortunately, he still had a little sense, knowing that this was the key to escape, so he didn't do such a stupid thing.
Totokani and his daughter teamed up with Marit, as well as Reilly, who had done the carpentry work, to secure the wings, rudder and two outboard propulsion engines into position. And the mechanical boom structure is used to retain maximum maneuverability.
Because the two girls did not use any special distillation equipment, they used magic to do hard labor, so there is still a small part of the oil that has not yet been refined, and they continue to work hard. Besides, the magic power energy of the two of them is not so much that they can work 24 hours a day, and this is still the power recovered after waking up every day is all used in refining, so that there is such a result.
Freya had been assisting Finn early on. Therefore, the progress of the airship control program can be said to be beyond imagination, and it has entered the third stage of integration operations.
Lin once again inspected the improved version of the Floating Magic Array. At the same time, on the water-patterned copper film on the inner side of the ship, a magic array for two purposes was also depicted. One is the temperature control that has been completed before, and the other is the pressurization in the cabin. In other words, this airship is going to a high altitude, not the flight altitude of a general airship.
Seeing that the repair work of the airship is about to be completed, one thing has been put in front of everyone's eyes, and that is the naming.
As if the goblin wanted to assert his sovereignty and name the almost new airship, Lin grabbed his hairless head, put it close to his ear, and said in a threatening voice, "You can try to name something that shouldn't be said." Believe it or not, I'll smash you into a pulp, mixed with blood, and paint that name on the outer wall of the airship. ”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, please come." These days of getting along, Totokani can be regarded as catching the temper of this magician and knows how to deal with him. Most of the time it's easy to talk, but when you hit the bottom, it's a game of death. So don't take the threat as a joke, the goblin's life will be at risk.
Patting the shoulder of the somewhat lost goblin, Lin said, "Don't be too disappointed, this airship will still be handed over to you in the end." ”
"Oh, really!" Totokani's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly. Of course, he knew what the many subversive technologies on this airship meant. He even planned that if he had the opportunity to build his own airship, he would definitely use this technology. But how can it be better than the one in front of you if you build it yourself. So I can't help but think that he is not active.
