Chapter 1033: Functional Battle
Maybe building a new one, and having your own Leon district have two airships is also an option. However, in his bones, the pursuit of perfection made Juan unable to stand the backward technology of the Gaussbergen, so he resolutely chose the transformation plan. And it is also a major change towards various new technologies, rather than a small transformation.
If he had been a businessman at heart, perhaps Juan would have chosen to build a new airship. After all, two boat runners and one boat runners make money at different speeds. Even if there is a boat that is technologically backward and has heavy daily consumption, so what. But after all, he chose the path of transforming the Gaussbergen, who called him a nobleman, not a businessman.
The Gauss Broadcom transformation plan given by Lin, the data of those improvements and decreases are only the most basic changes. But an airship is definitely more than that. All kinds of expanded functions, combat capabilities, and load capabilities are related to how wide the use of airships can be.
It was as if the first point of contention between Lin and Juan was whether to keep the open upper deck of the Gaussbergen.
Someone said bitterly: "Do you know why so many airships with car engines and propellers can't fly at the speed of the German?" It's not because the car's engine isn't powerful enough, or it's not specifically for airships, but the most important thing is because they don't have good aerodynamics. There are too many parts of the open ship that will create strong air resistance, which restricts the speed of the airship. ”
To illustrate this, Lin also used a whiteboard pen to show a simulation of the performance of the German and Gaussbergen in a wind tunnel. At the same time, he said: "The fully enclosed streamlined hull can effectively exhaust the air and reduce air resistance; Get higher speeds with the same horsepower engine output. But the open hull is not so good, and everywhere wind resistance is created. No matter how much engine horsepower is, the speed is slowed down. Have you ever seen a parachute and race against someone else? ”
"I don't understand your analogy. Have you ever thought that the Gaussberg is not essentially a merchant ship, but a combat weapon? The open deck ensures that there are the most mages and can cast attacks at the same time. If it's all covered, how do you want the magicians to attack, to hang themselves from the shell of the airship? This is not a merchant ship, and no one in the land will build a pure merchant airship. Your Sid, it's just that in an emergency, that goblin can't beat your compromise products. "Juan? Javier unceremoniously pointed to the thumbnail of the Sid and retorted.
Juan's rebuttal is well-founded. Even about the transformation of the Sid, Lin now thinks back that he really didn't ask the goblin Tokani much for his opinion at that time, and he did what he wanted. This silenced him.
The airship does not look like flying in the sky, its status and purpose in the lost land for a long time were the same as those of ships sailing on rivers and seas. While carrying people and goods, it also has the function of combat. There are basically three methods of warfare, broadside combat, corner collision and archer shooting. In the maze, there is also one more kind of magician spell attack.
The 'building ships', or warships of similar structure, that have appeared in the history of China and other countries on Earth, are actually like fortresses on the water, allowing archers to shoot condescendingly, and then the opponent is not easy to counterattack, and that's it. It can be said that this is a very important means of attack, until the advent of artillery, far beyond the range and power of manpower, the archers were eliminated.
Although artillery has already appeared in the Lost Land, goblin artillery is not trustworthy at all. Because whether that thing is going to hurt others or hurt oneself, many people don't understand. In addition, the full output of the Master is not inferior to the power of artillery, so the Lost Land is not like Earth, and artillery has become a mainstream weapon so quickly, and even the speed of development here is far inferior.
So Lin originally thought that it was because the people who were fascinated didn't understand aerodynamics, so no one learned the shape of the Sid, and the fully enclosed hull design was used, so that the speed could not be improved. But I didn't think that the reason why no one did this was because there was a more fundamental reason, that is, it was related to the attack power of the airship. You know, the Sid doesn't have the slightest attack power to speak of.
However, Juan did not refute it, but did not give advice. He was a colleague in the college, and of course he also mastered the art of whiteboard pencil. He skillfully added a magic shield-like diagram in front of the schematic diagram of the transformation of the Gaussbergen, and said: "According to you, if the resistance of the wind is very important, then we will use magic to solve this matter to increase the speed." How is it? ”
Isn't this just a fairing? Let's not consider whether Juan can have a positive effect on whether Juan has made a flat and huge magic shield and puts it in front of the airship; How much additional power would it take to build such a large shield?
For the use of power, the principle of saving is to save money, so as to increase the endurance of the airship. How is it possible to use the mechanical structure to achieve a zero-loss method, and choose to hang such a large magic shield to increase the power consumption. It is important to know that the larger the area of the shield, the power cost is not proportional, but the level of progression.
So offer your own artillery design? This idea was vetoed by Lin himself at the first time.
It's not so much that he doesn't want to become a merchant who sells death and let the war pattern of the Lost World set off another wave of revolution, so compassionate that he doesn't want to receive too much attention. A magician who is very skilled in civilian technology and has a good way of making money is not the same as a magician who can produce powerful military magic weapons, and the threat and importance of those in power are different.
Now that he has attracted enough greed, Lin doesn't want to let himself be raised to the point of being feared by the level of attention. The former is just something to remember, and the latter is terrible. Even if you have a powerful ability to save your life, the endless troubles that come with it are of course avoidable.
Otherwise, he has done so many things in the earth elemental plane, but he said that he didn't want to promote the development of war weapons in the Lost Land because of his peace and purity and great love, that would be no joke. It's just a fear of trouble.
However, in response to Juan's question, Lin remembered a magic he had seen, or a magic prop. He quickly found the relevant introduction from the collected materials, displayed it on the water mirror screen, and transferred it to the old friend in front of him to watch.
Juan? Javier swept through it with some confusion and asked, "Do you have any purpose in showing me this thing?" ”
Magical Equipment - Magic Amplification Shield. The large tower shield protects the mage, and it can also release the magic cast on the back side to increase its power and release it from the front. It is a powerful magical equipment that can be used both offensively and defensively.
On the downside, it's fucking heavy, and it takes two strong warriors to carry it. Also, the magic will be distorted after the kicker is converted, rather than the original magic.
Coupled with the kicker effect, it will need to consume the power of the shield itself, that is, it will always replenish the magic stone. For the Fa Ye, after this prop was invented, no one cared about it. The typical concept is good, the technology is not good, and the invention of the wrong era is born.
