Chapter 1031: From the Wilderness
The southwest of the lost land is not a rural area, it is simply a wild area. Therefore, people who come from the wilderness will not be taken very seriously.
The students of the Royal Academy of Magic, led by Juan Javier, were so unashamed to have a friendly exchange with the academy in the holy city of Estali. They had come with an attitude of broadening their knowledge and learning, and in fact, the magicians of the Holy City of Estali were indeed not inferior to the students taught by the Royal Academy of Magic of the Kingdom of Huelva. So this friendly exchange went smoothly.
In comparison, the story of Grand Magician Gabrash Tripwood, who was eventually awarded the title of Grand Wizard of the Holy City,—— led the transformation of the old airship, is not too much news.
The reason why it is not big is because airships are not just toys for the rich in this era, but more high-end and rare things. Not only must you have money, but you also need to have enough professional knowledge to play this big guy. Since the group of people concerned is very small, it naturally does not cause much turmoil.
But it's not small, because in the small circle related to airships, there is not a single one, and no one pays attention to the rumored maker of the Sid finally made another move. Of course, on the forum, there are more related discussions.
Before seeing the second next-generation airship, whether that man was the maker of the Sid and the pioneer of the next-generation airship was the main axis of the forum. Those who believe naturally want to see what kind of airship this person will build after a few years; Those who don't believe are, of course, waiting to see the joke. Naturally, there was a polemic between the two sides.
Of course, Lin didn't care about the comments on the forum, and he didn't think about keeping them secret. The transformation of the Gaussbergon requires not only manpower, but also craftsmen to help make parts. It is difficult to avoid this matter of many people, even on the modern earth. Unless it takes more effort to keep it secret. But depending on someone's laziness...... Never mind.
Lin is not completely abandoning the secrecy of the technology he provides, at least it is not so easy for people to learn it, which is a direction. A good segregation plan can avoid the need for inconsequential outsiders to master all the processes effortlessly.
If someone is willing to collect bit by bit, there is no way, so they can only admit it. Without the evil forces backed by the national hierarchy, how can it be possible to achieve airtight secrecy.
In addition to the magicians to whom the Gaussberg belongs, the apprentices brought by Juan will also help. The local staff of the Holy City of Estali are from the Technology Association and the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center, which were founded by Lin and represent the world's most high-tech manufacturing groups in the Holy City and even the entire Lost Land.
The engine needed for the airship, of course, came from the automobile center, which is their old business. In front of a group of magicians who turn whimsy into innovation, the accumulation of various technologies is naturally not a problem. It is not so difficult to choose from them suitable for airship and high-altitude use.
Of course, things are not directly usable, and some adjustments need to be made according to the situation of the airship. After all, the original design of the engine was provided for use in the car on the ground. To operate at high altitudes, there are some additional design requirements.
All parts other than the engine, the construction of the shell, etc., are entrusted to the Technology Guild, an organization that has gathered all the freelancers in the holy city of Estali. All parts have qualified strength parameters. For the parts that are not up to standard, of course, it is to be rebuilt; If it really doesn't work, then make it again.
This set of processes, the technical guild has long been played. And the people who dare to take the commission, which one is not holding back the strength to achieve perfection. If you give someone a return, the compensation for breach of contract is a small matter, and the loss of face is a big thing.
In addition, the completion and evaluation of the commission are related to the level evaluation of oneself in the technical guild. And the grade evaluation is related to what level of work you can take and how much money you make. So I went around and around and went back to the word 'money'.
The reason why the engine was commissioned not by the Technical Guild, but by the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center, was because there was another thing related to the center, that is, the location of the Gaussbergen's renovation project. Since the center can't be bypassed, then don't bother the two masters, and the airship engine will be handed over to the center to build.
Of course, the holy city of Estali has a dockyard for the maintenance and construction of airships, but after all, it is someone else's territory. Moreover, those so-called special tools and facilities for the construction of airships, for a certain crosser who is engaged in technology upgrading, nine out of ten things are useless, and the rest is still improvised. In short, there is no need to compromise on the existing dockyards for the sake of tools.
Regardless of the existing facilities, only the center and Kabanbai Academy had enough space to carry out the airship renovation project. However, the latter is a high-end magic teaching facility, and although the technology of the airship is high-end enough, it does not match the positioning of the academy, which is a little embarrassing. Then the most suitable location is the automobile manufacturing and R&D center.
Ahanu, the deacon of the Duke family, who was appointed by Grand Duke Kavi to oversee all matters in the center, actually didn't like this nominal advisor, but he rarely went to further magicians to do things. But the old deacon, who was concerned with the transformation of an airship and understood the significance of new technology to the whole world and to the Grand Duke's family, did not dare to directly veto the request of a magician.
In fact, as long as the magician's request can be sent to the Grand Duke, none of them will be refused. Those who serve the family can no longer be seen, at most they are just dragging some time on their hands. I really didn't dare to intercept it directly and put it on the shelf. As a deacon of the duke's family, he has no eyesight, not to mention that he has no job, and it is possible to die.
But the nature of the matter today is different. New technologies represent a monopolistic or even monopolistic market, not to mention the military significance of these new technologies.
The old deacon will be in charge of how long the automobile manufacturing and R&D center has been established. No matter how conservative he is, he will not be blind and can't see the powerful relationship in this. So the old deacon reported the matter to the two bosses behind the center at the first time. One is, of course, the Grand Duke of his own family, and the other is the Nguyen family.
The reply was not surprising, and both the Grand Duke and the Nguyen family agreed.
Can you disagree? Not to mention greedy for new technology, I've been dealing with this magician for a long time, and I know the other party's personality somewhat. Leaving without a word, and flipping the table without a word, is almost this guy's daily life.
There is room for negotiation, but it depends on the occasion and the situation. If you want to be upright, take care of the other party...... I really don't have the ability to handle the other party. In other words, in this world, no one can hold this magician who is proud of being 'the best at escaping'.
