Chapter 1176: Preparations for Sea Trials

The driver's seat layout of the Sid Airship is actually similar to that of a car in the holy city of Estali, which is about to rot on the streets.

A steering wheel with a dashboard in front of it, but the accelerator pedal and brakes have been changed to a hand-operated throttle valve, and the passenger seat has the same device. In addition to being used for the first time when the co-pilot has an accident, the more commonly used use is actually the main and co-pilot taking turns to rest during a long-distance flight, and there is no need to change seats.

To put it simply, the Sid is the kind of design where one person can control everything.

Considering the combat use and the complexity of control, the Gaussberg has separated many functions and left them to a dedicated person to control and monitor. In fact, this is a bit back to the original form of the sailboat, the helmsman, lookout, sailer, etc., is divided and cooperated by different people or different groups to control a large ship. The Gaussberg is similar.

The fully enclosed hull transmits images of the outside world to the bridge's surround view screen in real time through the arcane eyes installed in various places on the airship's hull. Fixed surround view screens, distributed in front and left and right.

The monitoring of the rear and the top and bottom is in the form of a picture of the child, narrowed down to a specific area. In doing so, people don't have to turn their heads and ignore other directions in order to look in a particular direction. You can gather information in more directions in the same field of vision.

As for the function of the Arcane Eye, it is only the initial form of ability documented by the Wizards' Guild. Rather than being upgraded by someone several times, it can be used as a microscope or an astronomical telescope, and even a multi-purpose new arcane eye that can see different phases, different dimensions, and extra-visible energy.

The original function of the Arcane Eye was enough for the Gaussboth. If you want to 'see' more, the magicians of this ship have to figure it out for themselves. Lin Ke was not so mad as to set up a self-destruct device on someone else's airship. In the future, Juan or his successors will have no problem renovating the Gaussbergen.

Solved the vision problem, and the main pilot used the same spoked rudder as a ship on the water. In addition to controlling left and right rotation, the spoke rudder can also be pushed forward and pulled back to control the pitch angle.

The speed of the airship is controlled by the chief engineer in the other cabin. The brass pipes in most of the connecting boats transmit the sound and issue orders.

Although it is possible to solve the problem of sound transmission with magic, considering that the combat state will consume a large amount of the energy pool reserves on the boat. Problems that can be solved by simple mechanical principles can be solved in a power-free way.

Although the laying of copper pipes will take up part of the space in the boat. But after several discussions with Juan and the other airship crews, they still chose to use brass for communication. Compared to the manpower of a herald, or the lack or interference of magical power in the heat of battle, the cost of brass communication can be said to be quite light.

In addition to the helmsman and the engine, there was also a gunnery chief in charge of giving instructions to the various gun emplacements. Outside of the main screen, a lookout officer who is responsible for monitoring the outside world; A defense officer who is responsible for monitoring the status of the airship itself, including all aspects of data, hull integrity, and defense capabilities. and the boatswain who is responsible for the manpower dispatch and rotation of the boat. …

Each of these people has their own seats in the bridge and a corresponding control panel to help them better handle their duties. The method of using programming language to integrate complex instructions into short instructions is quite unfamiliar to the crew of the original airship, and it is necessary to start from scratch.

But no one who has used it has ever thought of going back to the old way. On the contrary, on the basis of what has already been done, I have added a lot of my own ideas, so that my work can be more simplified and faster.

The captain's seat is in the center, high and raised. You can look down on the people in all the seats and even see what they're doing.

Although there is some authoritarian implication in it, it is of a positive significance to command the airship by keeping track of the movements of all personnel. So Juan liked the design of the captain's seat, and he also ordered an ergonomic seat from the technical guild to be installed on the captain's seat.

As for the so-called ergonomics, it's actually just a chair that is comfortable to sit on, and the ghost knows what the ergonomics of the mysterious ground are.

The position of the airship's deputy is behind the captain's side, near the brass pipe. He was responsible for conveying the captain's orders, issuing them to the correct cabins.

It is usually the first mate who sits in this seat, but the Gosbergon also has a second, third, and fifth officers, a total of five co-captains, and although they have their own functions, they still float the ship, at least one of them stays with the captain, and temporarily takes over the command of the airship if necessary.

In addition to the seats of these officials, there are also some guest seats that fold into the wall at the rear of the bridge and can be lowered if necessary. For non-bridge personnel, there is a place to sit.

But the seat is a seat, and if you can stand, you can see more. So none of the 'guests' who boarded the boat sat down. They all looked east and west, even Lin, the chief designer. But the former is mostly out of curiosity, while Lin discusses with the people in the seat whether there are any deficiencies in the design and function that need to be modified.

When Juan entered the bridge, the second officer, who had been sitting in the captain's seat to help check the status of the airship, got up and gave up his seat. Juan sat down in the chair he had custom-made, moved his ass comfortably, and sat down. He instructed the second officer, who was now in the deputy's seat, "Report on the readiness of each department." ”

The second officer immediately lifted all the brass lids and instructed the whole ship to report back. According to the regulations, this return has a sequence, so as to avoid the crowd of chaotic voices huddled together and nothing can be heard clearly. Although some are not smooth, but the ship

^0^ Remember for a second

All the cabins outside the bridge were still prepared one by one. Then there is the situation of the people in the seats on the bridge.

When the deputy reported that the whole boat was ready, Juan immediately got up, waved his hand majestically, and instructed: "Engine, go forward at half speed." The Gaussberg sets sail! Then he winked backwards at someone, and the smug expression was self-evident.

But as soon as someone heard the key word, half speed, he pulled out the guest seat at the back of Cambridge and sat down. The most important thing is to use the seat belt to hold yourself tightly. Halumi and Kaya were not slow to react, and as soon as they saw their teacher's movements, they immediately followed suit. Kaya also took some effort to secure the dazed Marquis of Balaan in her seat.

Leonardo saw that his two juniors had done this, and although he didn't understand why, he did it anyway. Then there was Fen, though she was somewhat reluctant. And Grand Duke Kaveh, who also boarded the boat as a guest, looked at the family of magicians who made a fuss with the eyes of fools.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
