The materials for the Peace Armed Energy Center are available, but they will not work for the time being. The reason given by Lin is also very simple, the atmosphere in Abadan City is treacherous, does Jermaine plan to directly carry out the restoration of the peaceful armed forces in such an environment, or find a quieter and peaceful environment, and then start researching?

The Silverbearded Dwarves, though urgent, accept such reasons. It is more important to keep secrets from outsiders than to repair the peace forces as soon as possible. Maybe it was a last resort to get the human mage and the lich to join the restoration. But if more people have the opportunity to snoop on the secrets of the peace armed forces, it is estimated that they themselves will want to hang themselves.

Therefore, in the city of Abadan, in the workshop designated by the official cooperation, everyone's work still revolves around the transformation of the Sid.

Originally, it was just planned to add a gearbox to the engine and add at least one reverse gear. But because there were a lot more materials sent, Lin planned to add a high-speed gear in addition to the reverse gear and the original one-to-one gear, and also design an additional file slot that could drive the propeller blades with magic power. Avoid a situation without fuel, the airship can only float.

If you don't have magical powers, you can't even float. Coupled with the exterior design of the Sid, it simply does not provide buoyancy for flight. So the reverse situation, that is, the situation where there is fuel but no power reserves, can be ignored. Anyway, you just can't get off the ground.

The other is to remove the throttle valve that controls buoyancy and integrate this function into the rudder. At this point, there is no major structural change, and the main work is still on Fin, that is, the modification of the program. Just a few days ago, in addition to helping Kaya organize the data of the forum, Fen was also carrying out the integration of the rudder function.

In the past few days, the Sid has been transformed, and Fen has also boarded the airship together to implement the program for simulation testing.

But such a correction was not all smooth sailing. The program that Fen has integrated with will always have some strange bugs when it comes to simulation testing. For this reason, Lin also re-examined the operation of the Sid.

First of all, this airship is less and less like an aircraft on Earth, where would a normal propeller aircraft have a reversing design. In order to maintain buoyancy, the propeller has to rotate non-stop. The only time it stops is when the engine breaks down, or when the landing stops.

But the Sid's current propeller blades not only have a variable speed design, but also reverse. In addition, the ascent and descent of the airship are not determined by the elevator, but by the floating magic array.

It's not so much about controlling a propeller aircraft as it's about operating a submarine. It's just that this submarine is not in the water, but floats in the air, and can do some maneuvers of fighters, and at great speed.

Realizing this discrepancy, he discussed it with the Lich, who was primarily responsible for the program, and corrected many of the mistakes that had been originally conceived, which allowed the integration of the rudder to progress.

Among the new equipment planned, the most important thing is, of course, the parachute. The function of engine reversing cannot completely replace the function of the parachute, and the two have their own suitable timings, so it is difficult to choose one device and abandon the other.

The design of the parachute is the simplest and most difficult part of this renovation operation. Simplicity means that the material is simple, the structure is simple, and the control method is also simple. The difficulty lies in how to fold the umbrella so that it can be opened smoothly and completely after the umbrella is opened. Someone has no clue about this, so it's very irresponsible to throw it to others for study.

The two apprentices, plus the silverbearded dwarves Marit, Freya, Reilly, and Goblin Polly, the six of them really made some famous research. Therefore, the parachute device placed in the stern of the ship was made into three pairs, and all of them were installed. These parachute units can be recycled and disposed of in the air so that they can be used flexibly in various situations.

In addition, because I learned from Totokani that the fuel oil that could be found in the miraculous land was similar to the crude oil used by the Hindenburg before and had not been refined. However, the fuel used in the Sid's engine was the product of fractionation and removal of impurities. If you pour crude oil into it, the engine will have to be overhauled or even scrapped immediately.

Originally, I wanted to use refining technology to control the goblins, but later I found that doing so would only trap myself. At the site of the death in the Jura Mountains, the two girls only refined the crude oil on the airship, almost until the moment before they left, and it was all completed. Could it be that this kind of thing will be repeated again and again in the future.

To save trouble and improve efficiency, industrial-grade refining equipment is inevitably required. So the question is, where is it?

Even if the petroleum refining equipment is stuffed into the carriage, the center of gravity of the equipment will be too high, and the carriage will be inconvenient to move. Not to mention refining crude oil on the go.

Considering the weight of the equipment, the airship increases the power consumption for the floating magic array because of its weight, and the refined heavy oil is used for the generator, which is then converted into power for storage, as well as the consumption required by the fractionation tower itself, the size of the refining equipment with the best economic benefits, which is enough to fill the cabin that was originally used as a warehouse.

Of course, the best economics are to build an oil refinery. It's a pity that it's still the same old question, where is the cover? It's too difficult for a homeless person to build a factory. Until then, you have to settle down.

With nothing else to do, and a desire to get out of the place as soon as possible, the Sid's restoration work was in full swing. It only took six days to complete all the above tasks. But standing in the airport at sunset, looking at the airship in the twilight sunlight from the outside, someone always feels that there is something imperfect?

Everything you can think of has been added to the Sid. The problems found in the first voyage have also been improved. All that's left is to continue to verify the reliability of each device in flight.

But...... Seems to be missing something?

Someone tilted his head in thought.

The other people involved stood side by side beside Lin, most of them with satisfaction, watching this unprecedented airship be completed in their hands, bit by bit.

But there were two people who looked at everything in disbelief as if in a dream. They were Hassan Bakhsh, the tax collector at the Abadan airport, and Rashid, the young lieutenant most favored by General Javed Poole.

The former is the official who is most familiar with airship-related affairs, and comes forward to coordinate many matters. The latter acts as a liaison between the two sides, as well as a military representative responsible for requisitioning the materials required by the magician.

They naturally joined the airship renovation project, but it was not the labor part, but they were responsible for supervising and secretly recording the various parameters, advantages and disadvantages of this new type of ship. Someone does not shy away from these unspeakable acts, allowing others to watch. Anyway, judging from the other party's dumbfounded expression, it should be that most of them can't understand it.

Even the official owner of the workshop and the craftsmen underneath who assisted in the renovation work, with decades of experience in building and repairing airships, were equally confused during these six days. Originally, they also wanted to see if they could inspire them some creativity from this former Great Sage Tower Master who seemed to have a very famous reputation.

Who knew that there were too many new gadgets, and they were dazzled when they saw it, and they didn't know where to start. From the design drawings of the parts, to the manufacturing process technology, and some equipment with unknown purposes, these things, although every step is clear. But no one can figure out how to do it, and there is no way to copy it if they want to.

Just as someone's self-confidence does not have a solid enough foundation, it is impossible to see why it comes from just looking. It's just that this awkward feeling that seems to be missing something, where does it come from? Lin was puzzled in his heart.

When he came to someone's side, the lich also looked at the airship with a faint sense of pride in his heart. I always feel this way when I finish a piece that I am satisfied with. For example, the Death Knights, who created skeletons with transcendent realms in the past, or the Death Knights with coordinated attack skills, felt an indescribable sense of joy in her heart when she thought that these creations could help her defeat the Old Gods.

It's just that someone flattened his mouth and looked at the newly completed Sid with dissatisfaction, which made her puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's always a feeling that it's not done yet."

A casual question from one of the lichs, and a casual answer from another, made him catch that glimmer of inspiration and think of what he lacked. Lin smiled obscenely, rubbed his hands, walked towards Rashid, and said, "Lord Adjutant, you see that the airship is so ugly, do you want to sponsor us with some paint to beautify the appearance." ”

The young adjutant of the general furrowed his beautiful eyebrows, and appropriately expressed some dissatisfaction. This is because he is familiar with this man's personality and knows that the other party is a negotiable person, so he dares to do such an action. To put it bluntly, the other party is not suitable to be a robber.

From the standpoint of the Gwana Empire, Rashid certainly couldn't let the magician take what he wanted. In particular, such a request is not mentioned in the original agreement, and is purely an additional request.

If the opponent is too weak, where can he care about such a thing? I directly called the ticket back.

But the opponent can't afford to mess with it. So Rashid's frowning move was only a slight expression of his opinion. But he would still cooperate with someone's request and ask, "Your Excellency, you don't know how much lacquer you need, is there a specific color?" ”

Before the boom of the chemical industry, lacquer and pigments were expensive materials with high unit prices, and not everyone could afford to use them. So in the face of the magician's additional request, Rashid of course had to ask carefully.

And this time, someone really opened his mouth and said, "I want to paint the entire airship once." As for the colours, Harumi,—"a man called his apprentice, and searched for something from his database of pictures, and put it on display," and showed it to the people,' and see how much material it would take to paint such a pattern on the outside of the Sid. ”

I don't care. After reading it, everyone looked at a certain smug magician who was immersed in their own world with disdain. The picture shown is a classic beach, palm trees, and a bikini-haired, big-breasted beauty lying on her side.
