Chapter 669 Magic Airship

What's the big baby's name?
Magic airship.

Zhou Ming and the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry worked together for nearly a year to develop the magical airship.

There is a kind of magical gas in this world, its density is very low, its physical and chemical properties are very stable, and it does not participate in any chemical reactions.

If you compare it with the hydrogen on the earth, the density of this gas is actually only one-thousandth of that of hydrogen...it is equivalent to having no mass.

Zhou Ming and the engineers of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce named it "Qi Wu".

That is, the meaning of "empty gas" and "massless gas".

And after systematic calculations: "Airless" actually accounts for about 95% of the material composition of the Azerothian continent.

This ratio is higher than the 75% mass ratio of dark matter in the universe where Zhou Ming's body is located.

Why is the content of "airless" so high?
The system gives an explanation:
"The magic particles and vindictive particles in this plane do not have anti-gravity properties."

"All matter has mass, and no other force cancels it out."

"So according to the normal laws of physics, the entire continent of Azeroth will collapse into a sphere under the action of gravity."

"According to the size of this plane and the total amount of matter, this plane will not only collapse into a sphere, but may even become a sun or a massive black hole."

"But instead of that change, it became a spinning disk."

"The reason is lack of energy."

"The airless mass is very small, the density is very low, and it does not participate in any chemical reactions, so it is a good 'blocking' substance."

"If you look at the microscopic environment, you can see that this plane is full of airlessness."

"Especially thousands of kilometers underground, there is a huge 'airless' mattress, the surface of this mattress has great tension, like a coin floating on the water, the continent of Azeroth floats like this... ...so it appears as a flattened disk."

"Because there are a lot of airless beings, this plane can exist stably."

So upon discovering Wuqi, Zhou Ming immediately applied it to a device: airship.

According to the principle of buoyancy, a hydrogen balloon of 1 cubic meter can lift a weight of 1.26 kilograms, ignoring its own weight.

The density of airless is only one-thousandth of that of hydrogen, so 1 cubic meter of airless, ignoring its own weight, can lift a heavy object of 1.28 kg.

If you build a large airship with a length of 160 meters, a diameter of 18 meters, and a volume of about 30000 cubic meters, it can lift objects weighing 38.4 tons or nearly 40 tons just by relying on its own buoyancy.

40 tons, this figure is quite impressive, and the load capacity of a Hercules propeller transport aircraft is only about 40 tons.

What's more, airships have less power requirements. Using airships for air transportation can save a lot of fuel and greatly improve endurance.

but……

In terms of flight speed, this is the weakness of the airship... Due to its large size, high flight resistance and structural bearing capacity, the flight speed of conventional airships generally does not exceed 200 kilometers per hour.

With the vastness of the Azerothian plane, this kind of airship is only suitable for domestic transportation within a relatively short distance, or international transportation between a few countries.

The flight distance is preferably no more than 2 kilometers.

In addition, in dealing with complex weather, such as windy weather, etc., it is very inconvenient to use the airship, which may easily lead to accidents.

According to the development experience on the earth, the airship is destined to be eliminated, and it is far less convenient than the fixed-wing transport aircraft.

But this is the magical plane.

There is magic here.

If the word "magic" is added in front of the airship to turn it into a magic airship, the situation will be completely different.

What's the difference?
One, the magic airship has a larger load capacity!
Zhou Ming engraved and painted wind magic circle runes on the surface of the magic airship. After evenly painting 108 "floating" magic runes on the conventional airship, the load capacity of the airship doubled. .

From 40 tons, it has increased to 80 tons!
After optimizing the shape of the airship and making it from an elliptical spindle shape to a "lifting body" structure with convex and concave, as long as it reaches a certain speed, the load capacity will be doubled on the basis of the former!
That is, from 80 tons to 160 tons.

This load is already quite exaggerated.

Waiting for Zhou Ming and the engineers of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce to install two sets of four fire demon engines with an average of 1500 horsepower each on the magic airship with a lifting body structure.

Driven by a total of 6000 horsepower, the magic airship is awesome. After a 2000-meter-long slide and acceleration, it can easily fly even if it is fully loaded with a 300-ton object.

The ultimate load capacity has reached 300 tons!
If the volume of the magic airship is enlarged and the power system is strengthened, it can fly into the air even if it is pulling 500 tons of cargo!
More importantly, the speed of the magical airship after numerous modifications and structural enhancements is not slow.

In the thin air at a height of 450 meters, the magic airship can fly at a high speed of about [-] kilometers... This speed is already half of the Hercules transport plane.

Coupled with the abnormally powerful carrying capacity, Zhou Ming and the Mainland Chamber of Commerce agreed that the development potential of the magic airship is even greater...even if its cost is much higher.

And the emergence of magic airships will undoubtedly bring earth-shaking changes to the world's transportation industry!

Although this world already has a steam locomotive with a speed of about [-] kilometers per hour.

Although this world already has a space teleportation array that spans thousands of miles in one step.

However, due to cost considerations, conventional horse-drawn carts, ox carts, cargo ships, and railway transportation still occupy the absolute mainstream.

In addition, although the griffin mounts of the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry have long been spread all over the world.

Although the total number of Hercules transport planes in the Yadude Kingdom has reached more than 300, the flight range covers all kingdoms within a radius of 10 miles.

However, the load capacity of the Griffin is extremely limited, and the Hercules transport aircraft has not been widely promoted due to limited oil production.

The appearance of the magic airship perfectly solved all problems.

It has a huge load capacity, low operating costs (with a small number of magicians, or the installation of propeller engines, it can carry less fuel), large range, longer endurance, large internal space, more complete facilities, and a higher speed. It's slow.

Therefore, for the transportation field of this dimension, the appearance of the magic airship has epoch-making significance!

So when the press conference was held on the sunny day of November 11 at the open-air test field of the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in the sound of Zhou Ming's introduction, when the tarpaulin used to cover the airship After opening it, amidst the exclamation, Zhou Ming, this big treasure, appeared in front of the world.

"Her name is 'Beautiful Princess', you can call her a princess!"

In front of more than 2 spectators, Zhou Ming, holding a microphone in his hand, first introduced the name of the magic airship.

Then introduce her fixed parameters such as length, width, and maximum diameter.

Finally, after introducing her load capacity, flight altitude, maximum flight speed, maximum flight range and other performance parameters.

It caused a burst of exclamation.

"My God, it can send 3000 people to an altitude of [-] meters at the same time?"

"The speed is five times that of the fastest steam train. It only takes one day to fly from the westernmost point of the empire to the easternmost point of the empire?"

"If it is operated by a magician, she can fly continuously in the air for 50 days. If an ordinary pilot controls the propeller engine, she can fly continuously for 15 days?"

"This... this is simply a miracle in the world!"

"Then... that bastard boy, he made such a surprising thing again, what kind of monster is he?"

Among the crowd attending the press conference, Wei Ni was muttering to herself again.

Looking at the bastard who was still talking about it, Wei Ni felt very complicated in her heart at this moment.

Does she still want to kill that bastard?
miss you!
Of course I really want to.

But more than a year has passed, that bastard has been in the Waitrose Empire for more than a year, and Winnie has not found any chance to attack or challenge him.

Even though she had taken the initiative to find him at least ten times and asked them to compete in the ring, the bastard was always busy.

busy with various things.

It's not busy moving the assembly line of the pharmaceutical production plant.

It is doing the preparation experiment of 【Extreme Ice Potion】.

In addition, he was doing research on his "magic airship" at the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

I didn't see him stop at all, anyway, it was all kinds of things.

The other party's prevarication words of "I will go to the ring with you when I am free" have not been realized until now.

Being fobbed off too many times, Winnie also got angry, so for a period of time, she stayed with him all day to see how "unavailable" he was.

In the end, Winnie found helplessly that this bastard did not prevaricate her. He was indeed very busy, often working continuously for two or three months without taking a day off in between.

His busyness is not pretended.

He really didn't have time to compete with himself.

so what should I do now?
Could it be that he was forcibly dragged into the ring to compete and then took his life?

shook his head.

Winnie had this idea, but finally gave up.

Because of that bastard, he has fans.

And not just one fan.

Half of the more than 5000 students in Nirata Higher Academy of Magic have become his fans.

Because of the [Extreme Ice Potion] invented by that kid and his brave exposure of the nature of the Datura flower drug, he became the first hero who stood up and publicly opposed the Datura flower.

He is very young, and his words are very down-to-earth. He often utters witty words and golden sentences frequently. Countless young students of the Higher Academy of Magic are impressed by his personality charm.

Coupled with his endless genius inventions, he has become the idol of many people!

In Wei Ni's class alone, more than half of the students worship this bastard, and they all want to be like that bastard... There are quite a few girls among them, and some of Wei Ni's girlfriends said that marrying People were going to marry a man like Lemorton Ralling.

Winnie was extremely unconvinced. Just that bastard, is he entitled to be admired by others?

but……

In private, Winnie had to admit that this bastard guy is indeed a genius... because she had visited the working state of that guy, and his omniscient performance at work left an impression in the minds of others, like a God, the Almighty and All-knowing God!
Several times, Winnie almost fell into admiration.

So her current state of mind has become more complicated, and she still has the desire to kill that bastard, but as time goes on, it gradually fades away.

And she also gradually realized that it has become impossible to kill him, and it has gradually become an angry word.

Because that kid has become a public figure... an idol star that countless people worship.

There are also many big figures who value him, such as the Emperor of the Waitrose Empire, such as the high-level executives of the Magic Association... His weight in the hearts of many big men has become extremely huge.

Winnie doesn't say kill him, but she says bad things about this bastard behind her back, and when people hear it, they will immediately refute it to her.

So making an enemy of someone like that is like making an enemy of a righteous hero, it's like making an enemy of millions of people... Only a clown would do that.

Winnie is a person who values ​​face very much, and she has great concerns about doing such a thing.

She can only wait for a proper and appropriate opportunity to challenge him, and she has to take care of the public's feelings and not take his life.

So for her, this is very aggrieved and uncomfortable, and sometimes she even thinks about giving up, but she is very unwilling.

His ass was spanked like that, so it's all for it?

No!

Absolutely not!

"Senior Winnie~"

While thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came from Wei Ni's ear.

Taking a closer look, a smiling face appeared in front of her.

"Senior Sister Winnie, the Beautiful Princess is about to undergo its first trial flight. I want to select 500 lucky passengers, and the first batch will board the Beautiful Princess for a test flight experience. You are the first lucky passenger I have selected. I wonder if it is possible. Appreciation?"

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

Seeing his bright smile and the booing eyes of the people around him, Wei Ni blushed slightly for some reason.

Nodding her head, she took two steps forward and walked straight towards the Beautiful Princess.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, since he is so flattering, give him some face.
