Airship.

Neither land nor sea, but sky.

The development of airships is the second most important goal that Midi has already identified when he stepped on the deck of the Southern Sky Star, in addition to awakening.

After all, the emergence of Sky City does not mean the end of the competition, but a new starting point. This huge world realm like a tall tower is connected to the Arad continent at one end, and the sea of the sky at the other end is connected at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

If Sky City is the hunting ground for the strong, then the Sky Sea, located above Sky City, is an adventure paradise for the Awakened. However, for humans who have no ability to fly and are born to walk on two legs, the world realm with white clouds as the ocean and the suspended flying continent as the land seems too dangerous.

If you want to gain a foothold in such a world, flying vehicles are indispensable.

And in today's war situation, if you want to defeat the powerful Delos Empire, another invincible surprise soldier is also the most effective way.

In fact, in Midi's memory, the previous Delos Empire dominated the West Coast and spent a lot of effort to blockade the entire sea area, but in the end, it was still unable to monopolize Sky City, and a considerable part of the reason was the emergence of flying vehicles.

At first, only a small number of powerful adventurers smuggled into Sky City to awaken.

Later, the material gradually flowed out of the Arad continent.

Then, in just two years, vehicles flew short distances.

The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and soon, the defense line that the Delos Empire had painstakingly built was full of holes in front of the flying vehicles, and finally completely lost the effect of blockade.

It was also at that time that the Arad continent finally entered the era of awakening.

And now, as a reborn Midi, she wants to reproduce this trick in advance, so that the Delos Empire will not be able to realize their dictatorial ambition of blockading Sky City from the beginning, so that the Falcon Regiment can be ready to stand on the top of Sky City and go to the Holocene Realm from the beginning!

Therefore, in the agreement he concluded with the dragonman tribe, he would ask the other party to provide a large number of empty bright stones as soon as he came up.

Because this is the core material for the development and manufacture of airships.

The stone itself has a certain floating characteristic, and if it is accelerated, it will produce buoyancy that far exceeds its own weight. As long as the empty stone is ground and dissolved into a specific medicinal solution, it can be made into an empty liquid, and then the empty liquid is introduced into the annular tube, and the liquid can be put into a high-speed circulation state by adding thrust, which can lift the entire hull and even make it fly.

In previous lives, such annular tubes even had a special name - "Sky Ring".

With the help of reborn memories and experience, Midi can easily bypass those initial groping and common sense, and directly take the ready-made ideas, thus greatly speeding up the development of airships.

It's just that he is a warrior after all, not a researcher, and although he knows a lot about airships, the standard of this understanding is only superficial.

Midi could provide the basic idea of the "Sky Ring", but he didn't know how much weight and how diameter of the Sky Ring was most appropriate. He knew that the Kongming liquid could dissolve the Kongming stone powder, and even remembered the location and origin of several main materials needed for the Kongming liquid, but he had never seen a formal formula, let alone many details of the blending.

And the most important point is that, except for the core components of the levitation, the design of the airship itself, Midi knows nothing about this.

Therefore, Midi did not have lofty ambitions when he came up, on the contrary, he only put forward the simplest goal based on the current battle situation.

"Two people. In the huge new alchemy factory on Deep Rock, Midi said to Norton, "All I need is an airship that can carry two people." ”

Just like the heavily armed knights in the ground forces, the two-person airship can basically be regarded as the smallest unit in air combat.

After all, the operation of an airship is much more complicated than that of a war horse, and the machinery is not human, unable to act autonomously, and it is unlikely that there will be miracles such as a heart and a soul, so one person must focus on maneuvering. The other person, naturally, is responsible for the attack, from bombing to shooting, these will be the responsibility of the second person, and if necessary, it is not impossible to directly let a gunsmith act as the attacker.

"The two-person airship is small in size and has a relatively close cruising range, so they also need ironclad battleships as their vehicles. Transform some of the ironclad warships, remove the cannons and ammunition depots, increase the gnaw, and expand the area of the battleship's deck for airships to take off and land. ”

"In addition, because it is an attack from the air, it is good to say that the bombs thrown should also be changed, and it is better to change to the type of automatic target locking, in this regard, I will ask Sigmund and other gunsmiths to come and cooperate in the production. ”

As she spoke, Midi drew her ideas directly on paper and illustrated them.

At first, he was interrupted and asked questions, but gradually, the entire alchemy factory fell silent.

Whether it is a layman like Dixon and Kelvin, or the magic research and development team of the Falcon Regiment, or Wells, who is quite proud of his design, or even Master Norton who stands at the forefront of Aradd's technology, and even the two dragonmen who have always paid little attention to human machinery, can only watch Midi tell here in a blank at this moment, and they don't even dare to interject, for fear of interrupting the other party's train of thought.

In everyone's eyes, a mixture of shock and curiosity awe, because the idea of "air combat" proposed by Midi at this moment, as well as the various supporting strategies, was too advanced!

Midi was talking about it, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the situation around him, and the atmosphere was too solemn, so he came back to his senses, and immediately found that people with different positions and identities were looking at him with different eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Midi, no, no, Master Midi, your thinking is too far ahead of your time, and I swear by my honor that what you propose today will definitely become the most important alchemical invention in the history of the Arad continent in the future!" Norton jumped to his feet and said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of excitement.

"If the airship vision can really be realized, the Belmar Kingdom may be able to become a powerful country on a par with the Delos Empire. Kelvin pushed his glasses and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Giving up Faroe Bay, but getting an airship, is a good deal. Wells said, secretly making up his mind that he would have the Flying Sail family tied to the big ship of the Falcon Regiment no matter what.

Even Tanius, who had fought all over the West Coast during this time, couldn't help but mutter, "Humans are terrible."

Dragonmen are indeed very arrogant and have always looked down on weak humans, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to evaluate their combat power.

Just imagining an airship hovering overhead, spewing a rain of bullets, gave Tanius a headache. And if it was Midi sitting on the airship, he thought it was unimaginable.

And when Midi listened to everyone's emotion and praise, he didn't have any fluttering or secretly proud feeling in his heart.

In his previous life, as a commander who was always favored by the goddess of victory, Midi had created countless classic air combat tactics, but now at least two-thirds of what he said came from others-

The great designers who designed airships.

Those high-level adventurers who traverse the Imperial blockade.

And then there are the Awakened who have gone on an expedition to the Sea of the Sky without hesitation.

At the end of the day, Midi was just standing on the shoulders of giants.

And at this moment, the reason why he was able to speak these classic theoretical views, strategies and tactics was because he had paid the price of death and was fortunate to be reborn.

That's all.

He can take advantage of being born again, but if he is complacent because of the knowledge he has gained in his previous life, he can only say that he is lost. If you can't defeat the empire, you can't awaken at the first time, you can't grab the power in your hands and protect your beloved, all praise and fame are just a dream.

Midi, who had died once, knew best.

So, he just showed an unfathomable smile and made a gesture to stop everyone's gushing praise and emotion.

"Give me a result in a week. Midi issued the first order.

"Wrap it up with me, Master Midi. Norton patted his chest and replied loudly.

"I'll fully cooperate with Master Norton. Wells replied in a categorical tone, now that he had officially joined the Falcon Regiment and become a member of the Magic Research and Development Department, he was naturally determined to use his talent for design in the new invention of airships.

"Give a week for the troops in Faroe Bay to evacuate smoothly, and don't forget to teach them a lesson before leaving. Midi issued a second order.

"Look at me beating those little bunnies of the Empire to the ground!" Dixon was the first to roar.

And Randall on the side also nodded secretly, as the host of the Lionheart Dojo, he had long wanted to compete with those Zhenluo Dojos who had never been reasonable.

"Deep Rock is yours to guard it. Midi issued a third order.

"Understood. Kelvin pushed his glasses and replied succinctly.

"Are you going back to Sky City?" Xie Na, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

Since walking out of the Three Towers Tree Sea and coming to this world that belongs to the human race, this daughter of the patriarch of the Thunder and Fire Wings clan has been patiently observing and learning, knowing her allies and enemies, and now, she has faintly learned some of Midi's style.

This black-haired and black-eyed young man will always stand at the forefront, in the most dangerous place, on the fiercest battlefield, and will be indomitable, allowing others to follow behind his sword.

This is probably the so-called charisma of leadership, right?

Xie Na thought to herself.

And just as the female dragon man expected, Midi nodded lightly and replied, "It's time to start the real battlefield." ”
