Magic Tower Starry Sky
Chapter 1032: Airship Retrofit Program
The technology that dares to show is not afraid of people learning. Lin's attitude is the real reason why others are willing to cooperate with him for a long time.
As long as you can watch from the side, if you have the opportunity, you can ask a few questions. Not to mention the mathematics that no one really understands, not to mention the promising automobile manufacturing. The name of the airship Sid, these people who have been exposed to the latest technology have never heard of it. They even mentioned it to someone in private, but Lin never let go.
Now, thanks to his friends, everyone has the opportunity to get in touch with this area, so there is no reason to push it out.
But it was at this moment that everyone realized that the magician who everyone looked up to in front of him also came from the wilderness. Even many new things in these years have emerged from that wild land...
Think carefully about the fearful things, and they will soon be forgotten by everyone. Since he made his fortune in the holy city, achieved the reputation of a mathematician in the holy city, and won the honor of a great magician in the holy city, then he is a person from the holy city. What happened in the past doesn't matter. The most important thing in front of me is, of course, the airship.
But no matter how hot everyone is, there are only two people who really have the right to decide on the Gauss Berton. Juan Javier, the captain of the airship, is also the person who has the power to act cheaply on the Gosperton when he is far away from the southwest Leon branch. The other is, of course, the great magician Gabrash Tripwood, the main designer.
It's okay for other people to watch from the sidelines; it's okay for most of them to ask questions. As long as it starts with 'I have a question...' instead of 'This is wrong! '
For the former, Lin will answer in full or in part depending on the situation; for the latter, someone will directly say: "Please leave if you feel wrong. My design does not match your thinking." Said: Your level is too low to keep up with my skills. So go away!
But the person who was scolded didn't dare to be really angry, because the other party had the performance of the Sid in front of him. For a pragmatic magician, having a work that proves his strength is more important than anything else. Unless there is other evidence to prove that the Sid is not the work of the person in front of him, or his follow-up works are all failures, destroying the reputation he has established before.
Back to Juan Javier and Lin. The captain of the airship finally decided to upgrade the existing Gosperton. Even with the funds he can move now, it is not a problem to build another airship. It may not be a top match, but it is also what Lin can describe. The real next-generation airship is not a modified semi-finished product like the Sid.
However, building a new ship will face an unavoidable problem, future maintenance costs!
A certain stingy traveler, based on the principle of saving what can be saved, and using it when it is needed, when calculating the cost, of course, will not forget the maintenance cost that will only occur in the future. And this is also the part that Juan ignored at the beginning.
On the modern earth, "keep a car" is not an unfamiliar word to most people. And an inorganic car also needs to use the word 'maintenance'. It can be imagined that the daily expenses are definitely not light. Even if you don't do extra modifications and upgrades, if the car wants to move, you can't get around the barrier of refueling, let alone regular maintenance.
The same is true for airships, especially the Gosperton.
The construction of the Gospelton was completed three hundred and thirteen years ago. This is an unimaginable force of magicians in the southwest, which is regarded as a 'wild' area. So since the completion of the construction, although it has participated in many wars, it has not suffered much damage. Basically, they are the kind of armed forces that are enough to make a final decision as soon as they appear on the stage.
There were no serious injuries, and it was the only one. In addition, the southwest is located in a remote place, so there were no peers to learn from and discuss with each other. Therefore, the Gauss Berton basically maintained the appearance when it was completed more than 300 years ago. What modification. Generations of magicians who served on the airship just guarded the old ship and learned how to maintain it, and never thought of changing it at all.
However, it was the fault of the barbaric area. Even more than three hundred years ago, the design of the Gosperton was quite old. But even if it is an old style, there are still people using it in the traditional cultural circle of Midland Central. It is conceivable how slow the technological replacement speed of Midi is for a traveler who is accustomed to Moore's Law.
The biggest difference between Gosperton and the airship technology developed later is that there is no airbag. Instead of finding hydrogen or helium, Midi finds a special gas found in magical experiments. Its characteristic is that it heats up and cools down very quickly, and the higher the temperature, the stronger the buoyancy, and even breaks through the height limit of traditional airships.
This gas is not a property of any earth gas known to Lin. Used in the airbag of the airship, of course, it provides the buoyancy for the airship to fly. Before there were airbags, the buoyancy of the airship came from magic, which had to consume power, and it was a lot of power. Even if the airbag cannot completely replace the effect of floating magic, it can still reduce the consumption of power and increase the time of floating~www.readwn.com~ However, the airbag is also a very obvious weakness, so the new airship that is lost in modern times However, airships used for military purposes still maintain a design that does not use airbags.
The traditional ship design of the Gosperton, although there are still many new airships in use in modern times, but the disadvantage of this design is that it cannot be parked on the ground, and can only be parked on the water or tethered. The tethered state means that the airship is fixed to the ground by only one or several cables, and the hull basically remains afloat. In short, it is the continuous consumption of power.
I won't talk much about the interior design and magic pattern of the Gosperton, but in the eyes of Lin, a modern person who pays attention to efficiency and energy saving, this airship is a disaster.
To use the words of the earth mobile phone advertisement, it means that the standby time is short, the talk time is also short, only the charging time is long, and the functions are not very complete, the appearance is not very good, it is simply a brick in the mobile phone industry. It's just that no one wants to go out with it and use it to make a phone call. Its best use is to hold down newspapers that will be blown away by the wind.
No matter how proud the magicians who were selected as the crew of the Gosperton were, Lin's evaluation of this airship was probably higher than that of the predecessor of the Sid, the Hindenburg built by Goblin Totocani. Just a few. It means that there are not many airships that I have been on.
According to calculations, after the renovation led by Lin, the Gosperton conservatively estimated that its battery life could be increased by three times, its cruising range increased by fifteen times, and its conventional energy consumption reduced to one-ninth of the original. If the annual savings are saved, after eleven or twelve years, it will be the new construction price of an airship.
Looking at such data estimates, Juan Javier has no reason to oppose such a transformation plan.
