Yaha then discusses a series of detailed improvements with Chriss. Before you know it, it's noon, and the discussion is finally coming to an end......

"Whew......" Chrissy closed her densely written notebook, "there's no other need, right?" ”

"No, that's all I can think of here." Yaha said.

"Great, it's time for lunch, so let's go together......" Chrissy got up from her seat with a smile of "finally off work".

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Summer Night: "Wait, I haven't started yet!" ”

“…… Hey? ”

Chrissy had no choice but to sit back silently, there was no way, the other party was a shareholder and Party A, and she was just Party B.

However, when Summer Night spoke, her curiosity was immediately aroused:

"Is there a small aetheric ramjet, I mean very small kind, preferably no more than a meter in length and within twenty centimeters in diameter; The weight of each thruster does not exceed 15 kg; It is better to have afterburner capacity, and it is acceptable to have none, but the thrust-to-weight ratio should be at least 5 or more. ”

"Nope." Chrissy shook her head and said, "The smallest thruster on the market, also more than 3 meters long. ”

"Is it technically difficult if we customize it?" Summer night asked.

"Difficulty...... It shouldn't be big, after all, it's generally easier to shrink the size than to expand the size, especially since the performance index you mentioned is not too high. But because it is customized, even if the performance is poor, the price should not be low...... But why do you need such a miniature thruster, and the metrics are quite specific. After Chrissy finished explaining, she finally couldn't help but ask.

"Because I had an idea and wanted to give it a try anyway." Xia Ye smiled, "This engine is not used to propel ships, it is used to propel people. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the other three all showed surprised expressions.

"It's too much trouble to say, I'll draw it, and you can understand it at once." After saying that, Xia Ye picked up the pen again and drew in the blank space of the chart according to the image in his memory.

Her drawing skills are very good, and in just a few minutes, a girl in the image of a comic book appeared on the paper.

The girl has a pair of cat ears and wears a sailor suit, but instead of a pleated skirt underneath, she wears a tights that resembles dead reservoir water. The girl had a cat's tail at the back of her waist, and most of her legs were encased in two metal cylinders with horizontal and vertical rudder wings.

Summer Night pointed to the metal cylinder: "This is the Aether ramjet I need, although the actual structure is not necessarily exactly the same as the picture, but that's probably what it means." Because it needs to be mounted on a person, it can't be too big or too heavy. But on the other hand, because the load is only a person and the weapon she carries, the requirements for thrust are not so high.

"As for the design goal, it is to be able to fly faster than whaling ships in the Aether Sea, with a range of no less than 200 nautical miles. That's right...... I also named her this profession 'Strike Witch'! ”

"Install thrusters on people...... It's a really new idea. Chrissy frowned: "But the temperature of the Aether Ramjet Thruster is very high when it operates, and the body can't withstand this kind of heat at all." Moreover, the thrusters are mounted on the legs, and although it seems feasible at first glance, it can actually fly...... For example, when turning, the hip joint can't withstand such a strong torsion, right? ”

Xia Ye had already thought about this question, and immediately replied: "Yes, as long as she uses 'structural strengthening', the problem of high temperature and physical strength will be solved." If you need to overload a larger maneuver, you can also use 'Synchronous Enhancement', which can be applied because the thruster is also a mechanical mechanism. ”

The last time she went to sea, she saw the chief engineer lying on a working propeller repairing it, and her clothes were burned to ashes, but she was unscathed.

"Then why does she have cat ears and a cat tail?" This time it was Yahab who asked the question.

"That's where it matters!" Xia Ye smiled: "The Raider Witch must first be a Cat Witch!"

In other words, she had to successfully fuse Shogues so that her tail could be mimicked into an interactive interface, plugged into the thruster, which on the one hand could control the power and rudder surface of the thruster, and on the other hand, the tail could be used as an output conduit for the magic power, directly delivering the magic power as fuel to the thruster. Of course...... You have to add enough magic to the cup before you take off, otherwise you will go bankrupt if you fly. ”

"Cat Witch...... Isn't that just repair? Yaha said.

"Yes, only Xiu is eligible now, but we can 'create' more cat witches next, just eat one of Xiu's eye pupils......"

When she said this, Xiu, who was sleeping on the table, protested "whoops".

"Don't be so stingy, you have so many eyes anyway, and you can grow back...... I'll give you 10 moles for every eye you contribute, how about it, it's quite a good deal, right? Summer Night said to Xiu.

The black cat shook its head quickly.

"20 Mor?"

Shake one’s head.

"50 Mol! It really can't be more. Sell it, sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll use 'Rift' again, and let your ontology wholesale a lot of eyes for me. "Summer night threatened.

Seeing that the buyer was about to find another supplier, Xiu quickly "meowed" in agreement, and then went back to sleep.

"You see, 50 moles can make a cat witch." Summer Night said with a smile.

Yaha and the other three all looked at her with complicated expressions.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Curran then asked, "While it's possible that your plan is possible, I'm still curious as to why you had to create a witch who could fly alone in the Aether Sea?" If you want to sail long distances, it is obviously more suitable for boats, and even if you want to leave the ship for a short time, you can use contracts such as 'Red Knight' and 'Felling'. ”

- Because it's fun! Summer Night said in my heart.

In this world, it would be a shame not to be able to reproduce an image that used to only appear in anime.

Ever since she saw that Xiu was able to directly contact the thrusters unscathed, a vague thought had arisen, and when Xiu turned into a cat witch and had a tail that could be mimicked into various things, this idea instantly became clear - the witch who uses thrusters, holds various cannons and even missiles, and flies in the Aether Sea like a fighter jet is really hot, and she has to find a way to make a few of them anyway, right?!

Of course, the above is only her own mental activity, as for the reasons for convincing others......

"Because, Raiding the Witch can greatly expand the scope of detection, and based on the experience of the last time we went to sea, the importance of investigation is even greater than we imagined, especially when exploring uncharted waters." Summer Night said solemnly.
