After careful consideration, Lin decided not to explain what 'braking' was. Instead, Totokani was put in the driver's seat and actually operated the take-off spacecraft.

Although the layout of the driver's seat of the restored airship is said to be in the shape of the earth, it is actually much simpler than the real thing. Because someone has only experienced flight operations from some flight simulation games, the cockpit layout has at most been seen from online photos and movie scenes. Therefore, the restoration work is only based on the experience of the earth, and is basically designed based on actual needs.

To put it simply, apart from a few switches, there is only the rudder; Responsible for the floating magic array, that is, the first throttle valve to control the height; The second throttle valve that is responsible for engine throttle and speed control. Then there is the switch between the two modes of navigation map and enemy radar.

Because unlike the earth, there is global climate data to support it, as well as the licensing restrictions of shipping lanes and navigation rights. So in navigation mode, after specifying the city ahead, the map will only point in the direction of the shortest distance in a straight line. The rest of the detailed control, including the relevant parameter setting and the coordinated operation of multiple devices, is actually in the control program written by Fin.

To put it simply, it is to simplify the control of the airship into a fool mode, and it is only necessary to learn from Lao Mei to use the handle of the X-box to control the submarine.

Although the nerves of the goblins may not be in the right place, their IQ is still online. Having been simplified to this level of airship control, Totokani certainly has no reason not to learn. Even others are jumping on the bandwagon.

After a brief lesson, Lin said to the goblin, "Since you are controlling the Sid for the first time, I suggest that you don't do too fancy flights, just fly smoothly." Now the most important thing is to get used to this control method and the operation of the instrument. ”

Totokani pointed to each piece of equipment in the driver's seat, repeated the name and purpose, and after making sure that the basic knowledge he had learned from the operation manual was the same as the actual situation, he took the fixed rudder, unfastened it, and truly mastered the airship. Totokani asked a question: "But none of these features seem to be related to landing." Is it going to be done somewhere else? ”

Although the Sid has Fen's integrated program, all controls and condition gauges can be carried out from the driver's seat. However, the operation of individual equipment can still be done elsewhere. That's why the goblins have this question.

But the answer is not as the goblins suspected. Lin smiled and patted Totokani's thin shoulder, and said, "It's really worthy of someone who has piloted an airship, you can think of these things." I'm just going to start thinking about the landing function now, so I'm going to ask you to sit in the driver's seat and take over the airship. That's it, let's open it safely. ”

"Alas, alas~!" The goblin, who didn't understand at first, just responded casually, but after thinking about it, he fussed and shouted, followed by a crackling goblin greeting. But just looking at the expression, Lin didn't bother to understand what the goblin was trying to express. It's still important to figure out how to brake and how to land first.

A common image in science fiction movies, the spaceship has helicopter-like power and can take off and land vertically on any terrain, something that Sid can't do. Because Sid's buoyancy is buoyancy, and propulsion is propulsion, the two are not integrated.

Secondly, as the engine of the propulsion mechanism, the propeller blades are directly connected to the engine crankshaft, and there is no gearbox in between. Therefore, the amount of propulsion depends entirely on the throttle controlled by the throttle valve, which determines the speed of the engine. Neither variable speed nor reversing.

Although it can be used to match the flight maneuvers of the airship, the engine has an adjustment range of 15 degrees up and down, for a total of 30 degrees. But after all, it is not possible to change the propeller to vertical upwards like the Osprey tiltrotor and achieve the maneuver like a helicopter. What's more, the engine is placed in the tail of the aircraft, which can really rotate 90 degrees upward, which is also a situation where the front is light and the rear is heavy, and it cannot fly normally.

On Earth, the same propeller aircraft, in the air, to slow down, in addition to relying on the speed of the blades to slow down, is to open the flaps to increase wind resistance. Eventually, you have to land at the airport and rely on the friction between the tires and the ground to stop the inertial force of the advance. This set didn't work for the Sid, because the Sid didn't have tires.

Originally, I thought that it would be good to rely on the vertical take-off and landing ability of the floating magic array, so someone didn't consider the problem of slowing down at all. But after really going to the sky, slowing down has become a difficulty that has to be faced, and it cannot be gently let go as originally estimated.

It can only be said that no matter how well you think about it on the ground, once you go to heaven, you will always find a fatal omission. It is no wonder that the Earth develops aircraft and needs to go through countless test flights.

Although the sides of the Sid have wings, they are more like rudders that control the airship's posture, and the use of inclination to increase wind resistance has limited effect.

By stopping the engine, so that the propeller blades no longer provide thrust, the airship will naturally not be able to maintain full speed as it is now. But waiting for the airship's speed to zero like this is something that is unlikely. Because even if there is no power, just by gliding, the aircraft can still ride the air flow and maintain a certain speed. Therefore, it is impossible to expect the airship to be naturally stationary in the air.

Then, we have to think about ways to increase wind resistance from other directions.

Walking to the workbench that had not yet been removed, Lin took out the coffin and placed it on again, starting a new round of simulation calculations. It was only then that the others, who realized it later, understood a little bit about the problem they were facing, thanks to the shouts of Polly's translation of Totokani. Everyone didn't complain, but put forward their own opinions and methods. Number Six

In view of the fact that there are many ideas and multiple paths, Lin still listened to their opinions very carefully. After all, the logic of one's own thinking is easily confined to the nest of the earth, and perhaps the magic of the land can find a different way to achieve the goal. But the results are regrettable, and none of them come in handy.

Slow down, land, and most importantly, maintain the integrity of the Sid. As long as the structure of the airship is not damaged by any movement, there will be no major problems for the people inside.

However, the method proposed by others, after simulation, the proportion of the airship smashed into mud at the moment of landing was as high as ninety, half of it was about to disintegrate in the air, and the remaining half was seriously damaged by the airship, and most of the people inside were killed or injured.

Almost no one has proposed a slowdown method to pass the test, which is also limited by the existing conditions of the Sid. The only thing that is more promising is to turn off the engine and find a way to make the airship turn 180 degrees and fly with the stern facing forward.

However, the exterior design of the airship takes into account the wind resistance in front of the up, down, left and right, but does not consider the situation directly behind. If the ship is flying with the stern facing forward, the situation is fine at low speeds, but in the medium and high speed environment, it is easy to become structurally unstable, and there is a risk of disintegration. In other words, if you want to fly in this way, you still have to find a way to slow down below a certain speed first.

The king who once soared in the sky couldn't come up with any useful advice. The main thing is that Augustus easily ignores the structure of the airship and proposes a way that can only be done by the body of a dragon.

But to be honest, the old dragon would speak, and it felt like he was just trying to join in the fun, not really trying to come up with a solution. Still, Augustus's idea of flying that mimics creatures gives someone an inspiration. And when everyone was at a loss and had some bad ideas, they did their own simulation calculations.

Seeing that the calculation results had a success rate of more than 70%, Lin did not plan to continue thinking about other methods. The destination of Abadan City is almost there, unless you have to waste time and fuel by hovering overhead. Otherwise, if you want to do something, you should act now.

Once he had made up his mind, Lin began to assign tasks to everyone. The first task is to find a way to fix everything that moves in the airship. The second is the seat belt of the seat, which does not consider comfort, but only requires that the person can be firmly tied to the seat.

Although during the repair of the airship, some ropes were made from tree bark. At the time of leaving, these ropes were preserved, but they were still far from sufficient. So under Lin's instructions, the whole snow wolf skin was torn into strips, knotted and joined into long strips, and made do with it to be used as ropes.

Such an act was an out-and-out waste in the eyes of the knowledgeable Uzov Gantya, but he did not dare to say anything more. Even when the magician gave a clear instruction, no one in the group objected, but obediently obeyed the instructions.

For the two apprentices and the four silverbearded dwarves, they had long been accustomed to not questioning someone. Anyway, when there is a need for explanation, that one will naturally explain it to everyone. And when he doesn't want to say it, even if he asks, he will only get some more incomprehensible answers, after all, the knowledge of the two sides is not on the same level.

As a former demon king, the lich doesn't question anything. Because the man rarely assigns her work, but whenever she is asked to do it, it is the kind of special trouble, which others cannot do, and it is impossible for ordinary heavy work to reach her.

The black dragon Augustus also belonged to this rank. Lin didn't want to offend this humanized dragon clan, nor did he feel that he could really help a crippled old man to do things, so it was fortunate not to have to pull back.

The two goblins had long since succumbed to the sorcerer's obscenity. Ever since someone had compiled a detailed goblin anatomy from his past experience in slaughtering uncivilized goblins, and introduced them to Totokani and Polly one by one, it was already a sign of courage that they didn't tremble when they saw the man again.

Mai Erjiao didn't want to continue to offend this magician, so if she could, she stammered. It's all right to commit to bed, let alone just some simple jobs. Uzov Gantiya, on the other hand, did not understand the brain circuits of this magician in any case. If you can't even question it, what else can you do but do it.

So the airship cabin was quickly disposed of according to someone's request. Everyone returned to their seats and secured themselves securely, and Lin and Totokani took over the driver's seat.

By the time someone got on the rudder again, there were only twenty minutes or so left before Abadan. Pull the second throttle back to the very bottom and say, "Double stop, enter inertial flight." Begin to decline. At the same time, pull the first throttle valve and retreat to the neutral position.

Engine shutdown is to maintain idling, not stalling, which is to avoid the power needed for the engine in the event of an emergency. If the ignition is turned off and it is only activated temporarily, it is easy to make mistakes in a tense state.

The Sid is now at an altitude of 23,000 meters and a speed of 380 kilometers per hour. Both altitude and speed are decreasing.
