Chapter 670 Double Reward

After the first batch of 500 experience passengers entered the "Beautiful Princess".

The hatch was closed, and the eight senior magicians located in the power room, in groups of two, each drove a fire demon engine.

"Buzz~"

The four fire demon engines spewed out fiery flames.

At one end of the runway, the beautiful Princess, which is 160 meters long, only went through a slide of less than 300 meters, then raised its head and slowly rose into the sky.

After increasing the horsepower.

The Beautiful Princess quickly rose to an altitude of [-] meters and entered the relatively flat stratosphere.

The speed is about 300 or so.

On the forward deck with a good view, the passenger door climbs above the safety railing and enjoys the beautiful scenery below.

Blue sky and white clouds.

Wide field of view.

On the flat land, houses are like beans, fields are contiguous, rivers are like nets, and forests are like green belts.

"So beautiful."

"The house below is so small that the castle can hardly be seen."

"I've never seen this kind of scenery, it's just amazing."

Passengers made various exclamations.

Standing at the front of the deck, at the best viewing position, Winnie also felt refreshed and pleasing to the eye.

This kind of scenery has a special flavor compared to the scenery seen at high altitude in a flying backpack.

"Sister, this is the fruit wine prepared on the airship, would you like a glass?"

Zhou Ming held two goblets in his hands, and handed one of them to Wei Ni.

Winnie nodded and reached out to take it.

"Sister, what do you think of this magical airship?" Zhou Ming asked.

"It's okay, very good."

Taking a sip of the fruit wine gracefully, Winnie nodded lightly... This year Winnie is also 28 years old, she is no longer a girl, she exudes a mature smell.

Zhou Ming cast his eyes forward, and said something meaningful:

"If nothing unexpected happens, in the next 20 years, the magic airship will become the most important means of passenger transport and the second means of freight transport. It will spread across the skies of various countries on the mainland at an astonishing speed."

"From then on, the exchanges between various countries will increase, and the development speed of each country will be significantly accelerated."

"If I donate the magic airship technology to the Magic Association for free, they will give me at least 30 contribution points, which is more than the reward of [Extreme Ice Potion]."

Zhou Ming said.

30 contribution points?

Winnie was a little taken aback. The contribution points of the Magic Association have always been difficult to obtain. Even many legendary mages have given up the idea of ​​earning 10 contribution points and going to the city of magic. It's hard to save enough.

The lifespan of a legendary mage is about 500 years old, and not all legendary mages can do it if they spend a hundred years serving the Magic Association.

But this kid actually said that after he donated the manufacturing technology of the magic airship to the Magic Association for free, the Magic Association would give him at least 30 contribution points...

Is the technology of the magic airship really so important?

This stuff looks pretty simple.

Seeing Wei Ni's confused and puzzled expression, Zhou Ming smiled lightly and explained: "Perhaps you think that the magic airship is just filling an airbag with air, engraving some magic circles, and then installing a few more. The fire demon engine is so simple, but..."

"I can tell you responsibly, except for the Continental Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Association, it will take at least 50 years for any country in the human world to manufacture the same 'Beautiful Princess'!"

"The fire demon engine technology, airbag weaving technology, airless extraction technology and even the seemingly simple lifting body structure design technology and large hull manufacturing technology on the Beautiful Princess... These technologies, no matter which one, can be put into any A country needs at least ten years of technological research and massive resource investment, and they must not give up halfway.”

"Is it so mysterious?"

Winnie looked suspicious. When this kid was developing the magic airship, she observed it closely for more than a month. She didn't see any complicated tricks, but thought it was quite simple.

Zhou Ming smiled and said nothing, of course he would not tell Wei Ni, if it wasn't for the system in his brain that helped solve a lot of mathematical calculation problems, no matter how good he is personally, it would be impossible for him to design such a high-tech magic float. Airship... With the assistance of the system, he can be said to have avoided all detours and paying tuition fees, and went straight to success.

So it left the impression of "this thing is very simple" to others.

But in fact, if there wasn't a system acting as a cheat for him, would it be so simple?
For example, the extraction of "airless" has a very low density and a very small atomic volume. How to collect airless is a world-class problem. Zhou Ming even asserted that in this world, under experimental conditions, no more than one hundred A single person can discover the existence of qi, and no more than ten smart people can figure out a way to collect qi.

Even Zhou Ming himself, with the assistance of the system, successfully collected and stored "Qi Wu" through a very complicated method.

In other words, currently in the entire continent of Azeroth, apart from the China Chamber of Commerce, which has a cooperative relationship with Zhou Ming, there will be no second organization that can invent a way to store air.

Without the "airless" resources provided by the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry, there would not be a second organization that has the ability to manufacture magic airships.

But what is puzzling is why Zhou Ming is so sure that the Magic Association will give him 30 contribution points with the big treasure of "magic airship"?

It's just a faster means of transportation.

Why reward so many contribution points?

So in the following conversation, Winnie was full of doubts about this point.

Zhou Ming looked at the boundless continent below, and asked meaningfully: "Sister Wei Ni, do you think this world is big?"

"Big, very big." Winnie nodded. In many geography books at school, the adjective "infinitely vast" mostly appeared in the description of this world.

"How many countries are there in this world?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"A lot, a lot."

"Do you think the world is peaceful?"

"Uh~"

Facing this esoteric question, Winnie pondered for a while, and said, "Some places are peaceful, and some places are not so peaceful."

"Yes, some kingdoms are caught in war, and some kingdoms have enjoyed a thousand years of peace. However, what I want to ask is, if a war suddenly breaks out across the entire continent after 30 or [-] years, if they are divided into two camps, what is the use of The colors are used to distinguish, one is the red camp and the other is the white camp.”

"If there are 1000 kingdoms belonging to the red camp and 100 kingdoms belonging to the white camp, and a war breaks out between the two sides, which side do you think will win?"

"That goes without saying, of course the red camp won, they have 1000 kingdoms!" Winnie said without thinking.

"That's right, it's logically so, but I'm still assuming: If in a war between the red and white camps, the white camp with fewer kingdoms has a transportation device like a magic airship; while the red camp with more kingdoms doesn't have magic floating airships." Boat, which side do you think will win?" Zhou Ming asked.

"This……"

This question stumped Wei Ni a bit. She wanted to say that the red camp, whose troops were ten times stronger than the white camp, would continue to win. After all, the ratio of troops was too disparate.

But this bastard always likes to play tricks, if he accidentally falls into his trap, she will be ashamed again.

She simply shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know which side will win."

"Let me tell you the answer, the outcome should be five to five points."

"If the white camp, which is relatively weak, has the help of the magic airship, its winning probability will increase to [-]%!"

Seeing that Winnie's lips moved, as if she wanted to refute, Zhou Ming continued: "There are two decisive factors in war, one is time, and the other is military strength!"

"At the same time, whoever gathers the most troops wins!"

"With the same number of troops, the one who is more prepared for war wins!"

"As we said just now, this world is very big, and there are many countries in this world. If a large-scale war breaks out, even if the red camp has more than ten times the strength of the troops, because the distance is too far, the march is slow, and it can move to The troops on the border of the white camp are actually very limited."

"Even the combat range of each unit's soldiers will not exceed [-] miles, because if it is riding a horse, the distance of [-] miles, even if it takes more than three years on the march... Few troops are willing It took three years on the road, traveling thousands of miles, to attack another country, and even if there were, the soldiers of this army would suffer from a sharp drop in morale and a sharp drop in numbers due to reasons such as supplies, homesickness, and acclimatization.”

"So in the vast battlefield, the war between the red and white camps is limited to those countries that are close to each other, and it is impossible for both sides to use 100% of their troops."

"But the white camp has magic airships."

"The magic airship can fly [-] miles a day, and can transport thousands of soldiers and a large amount of war materials at a time."

"The utilization rate of troops in the white camp is higher, and the efficiency of mobilizing resources is higher!"

"The white camp can even mobilize troops from 10 or 20 kingdoms in a relatively short period of time to attack a kingdom in the red camp, forming a partial absolute advantage!"

"If this operation is repeated, the white camp can even defeat thousands of kingdoms in the red camp one by one!"

"In this 'fast against slow' war, the white camp, which is outnumbered, may even win!"

Hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, Wei Ni's pupils suddenly shrank.

But she immediately shook her head violently: "Impossible, this is unlikely. The situation you are assuming refers to the situation of ordinary troops. Don't forget that there are swordsmen and mages in every kingdom, especially legendary mages. It can destroy millions of troops, if the legendary mage joins the battle, the situation you assume will not happen!"

Legendary mages are a kind of power that subverts the rules. In front of legendary mages, some kingdoms with millions of troops and tens of millions of troops are particularly ridiculous.

"Senior sister is right. Magic airships are not that scary in front of legendary mages, but the red camp has legendary mages, but the white camp doesn't?"

"If both sides use legendary mages, release powerful magic at every turn, or even destroy the country's forbidden spell, this red-white war will not be fought at all."

"So I'm leaning towards this kind of war, which may be divided into two battlefields."

"The battlefield of mortals and mortals, the battlefield of gods and gods."

"Mortals and gods will not fight on the same battlefield."

"Before the start of the war, the red and white sides will abide by the rule of separating the two battlefields."

"If this rule is not followed, the world will be destroyed and everyone will be a loser."

"If both sides abide by the rules, then in the mortal battlefield, the magic airship will play a vital role."

"Even if the side has a magic airship, that side has a better chance of winning."

"So the magic airship may seem ordinary, but in a war, its value will become extremely huge."

"So I think it's worth 30 contribution points."

Zhou Ming said without further ado.

Looking at the boundless land below, senior sister Winnie nodded as if she had some understanding.

……

A week later.

One week after the successful test flight of the magic airship "Beautiful Princess".

From the Magic Association, Zhou Ming got the "30 contribution points" he asked for.

The old wolf on the phone didn't bargain too much with him. In order to get the technical information of the magic airship, he readily paid 30 contribution points.

Give 2 of them to Mr. Searles, and make up 10 for him.

In this way, Zhou Ming, whose contribution points in the Magic Association member badge reached 37, obtained the qualification to enter the "Magic City" through the space teleportation array.

　The author is an old author who has put three books on the shelves. The first book is ordered for 350, and the second book is 70. This book is loved by the readers. After 3000, everyone can see that it is from a street to here. With luck, it is impossible to suddenly open your mind and write a book that caters to all readers without any poisonous points.
