Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Reflections on Flying Boats

At a cave entrance, two figures suddenly appeared

One of them stretched lazily and said, "Finally out! The air outside is better. If I stay underground any longer, I'll be suffocated

Where are we going next? "This is another figure.

Let me take a look. According to the dwarves' words, we are located slightly to the east of the central part of the continent. I will take you to Mirror Lake City, where I have discovered a relic that you can take a look at. The magic array in that place is used to make magic crystals, and I can only see that the energy source is the water element aggregation array, and the cornerstone is the water cloud stone. There are many magic patterns on the action array that I cannot understand their use. Although I also copied a blueprint, it feels better to see it on site

Ruins? Until who was the creator

I know, the old alchemist from Biya Esso who lived for over three thousand years, I really hope to find him. He's a good teacher. "The first person to speak fell into a fantasy

Shrinking his neck, the other person said, "Um... it's hard to find people who have been around for over 3000 years... Let's find a place to rest first

These two people are Nia and Dia, who came out of the dwarves' residence.

Interrupted from her fantasies, Nia could only glance at the map. Five thousand years is enough time to change the location of the city, so Dia doesn't even know the current map, and the task of leading the way can only be done by Nia.

The road we are seeing now should be the way for dwarves to transport goods for exchange. Going straight, it should be a medium-sized city, as if it was established through dwarves' trade

After speaking, he strode forward with great strides, and Dia immediately followed suit.

Ten minutes later, looking at the same scenery, Nia became a little annoyed. "Dia, do you know any alchemy products that can be used for transportation

Dia thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there used to be something called an airship in our area. It was powered by magic crystals and could travel between large cities. It was one of the ways for wealthy people to travel. Of course, there were also some people who had the money to make small airships for transportation. The smallest airship used to be only 25 meters long

The problem is that no one is using it now, and we can't find any samples at all. The speed of the space magic array is very fast, and it can be reached in an instant. Let's talk about the principle. When will we make one for transportation? By the way, how fast can the smallest one be

The principle is very simple. Use a magic array to add buoyancy to the airship, making it fly. Then use a level seven magic tornado to accelerate and decelerate, and the speed can reach more than 500 kilometers. Besides acceleration and deceleration, the amount of magic crystals consumed in other times is very small. However, if you want to use magic crystals with other attributes, you need to create an additional magic guidance magic array. But I know these drawings, and if you want to do it, I can give it to you

[Using wind magic tornado acceleration? Force and reaction force? It seems like I can try using a fire based flame column and a wind based tornado to make a jet engine...]

Dia continued, "Also, private airships often have defense magic powered by magic crystals added to them, which can have some defensive effects

[Xiami... If I were to install some weapons, wouldn't it be a heavy fighter with a protective cover?]

With this crazy idea in mind, Nia began to ask, "Dia, can you create a magic array that can shoot explosive fireballs continuously in a directed manner

Sure, I've done it before, but it's not very useful and can't be moved. At most, it can be used as a mechanism. However, no one in the mechanism uses explosive fireballs, so the power is not enough. The mechanism requires a one-time high-power magic. "Dia was surprised by Nia's question, as it seemed that her open thinking was not enough.

What if I install this magic array on an airship? The airship is movable and doesn't have to be afraid of close range attacks from warriors in the air. Coupled with a magic shield that can defend against magic and bows and arrows, there is almost nothing that can threaten the airship. Moreover, after installing attack weapons, there is no need to worry about others trapping the airship in one place and waiting for the magic crystals to be consumed before catching people

There are a few beads of sweat on Dia's face. "The idea is good, you can give it a try..." While others use it for transportation, Nia thinks of going to war... "Let me first talk about the materials... the main material for airships is steel

Steel? Is aluminum not acceptable

Ah? Aluminum? No. First of all, we can't extract aluminum on a large scale. Alchemy can separate it, but the yield is too small. If you are a psychic pervert like you, you can try it. The main reason is that the strength of aluminum is not enough, and it is easy to bend when used as a supporting skeleton

If only I had learned the formula for aluminum alloy

Of course, it can also be made of wood, but this type of airship has a slow speed of only 200 kilometers per hour at most, and it will fall apart any faster. The weight of the airship determines the approximate consumption speed of the magic crystal, so in the past, our airships were all made of wood, which was actually relatively light

Nia smiled and waved her hand. "It's okay, I found hundreds of tons of magic crystals from Tianjing Lake, so let's make them pure steel. When designing the shell, we can make it a little thinner, after all, using a magic array for protection is enough. I can make an airship that can use the triple defense magic of Wind Shield, Water Compassion, and Wind Guardian, so I can choose which one to activate based on the situation. I can't do a magic array like Water Curtain Tianhua, Absolute Barrier

The time for discussing things was relatively fast, and now we can see the city

As Nia and Dia discussed the outdated mode of transportation, the airship, they slowly approached this mining city. It is said that someone once discovered a large number of magic crystal mines at a location below this city, hence its name. Of course, there's nothing down there now, it's already been picked up by someone.

At this moment, Dia suddenly realized and let out a voice, "Oh! I remember, there's still a small means of transportation that hasn't been mentioned. The flying skateboard can take one or two people to fly in the sky, with average load-bearing capacity. The consumption of magic crystals is not high, and the speed is also about 150 kilometers per hour, which requires at least the spiritual power of a wizard to use. Because this requirement is too high, although some people have imagined using this thing to let wizards carry out air raids, it was not successfully realized because the spiritual power consumed by this flying skateboard was too high. In the end, it was gradually eliminated due to this abnormal requirement. However, it has nothing to do with you, your spiritual power is very high, and you can use it leisurely. This one. Can you help me find some materials to make one for you later? It's quite easy to make. Just add some magic silver to the steel plate and place the magic crystal in some places. The appearance can be designed freely, as long as it is not too exaggerated. Um... are you listening to me

Nia stopped and stared intently at a stone on the roadside. 'Ah? Oh... I heard it, why didn't this good thing remember to wake up just now? Uh... you wait a moment...'
