goddess of revolution

Chapter 587
"Okay, let's start working, the sky of Beta City is waiting for us to protect!"

Early the next morning, Li Qi was refreshed, and came to the Institute of Magical Aircraft in the eastern part of Beta City, and issued a mobilization order to the director, Help, and all researchers.

Don't get me wrong, last night he briefed all the witches and the Central Committee on the Sifein situation, but it didn't do much.

What should be done was done yesterday afternoon...

The director and the researchers were stunned for a while before responding, and everyone was still looking at the person who followed behind him.

The person is Karin, and the horse is Little Gray, which is nothing unusual.

That dragon, which is more than ten meters long with its neck upright and two stories high, has a dexterous body and is covered with ice blue scales, is very rare.

Probably because he thought it was troublesome to scold "you are blind", Haligos turned back into a dragon body as soon as he entered the research institute, and Xiaohui shrank to the side in fright and digged in depression.

"Leave them alone," Li Qi greeted, "Didn't I send back the drawings? How's the progress?"

Fortunately, the people in the research institute are basically adventurers, and they have seen a lot of travels, and they quickly regained their minds.

Help said: "Yes, Chief Cardinal, you sent back the drawings, and we tried it right away. However, because many parts have changed again, adjustments must be made, and now only the keel is completed."

keel……

Looking at the skeleton made of iron and wood in the workshop, Li Qi subconsciously said: "This is not a ship, but an airplane. How did it become a keel?"

In her head, Xiaohong scolded: "Since you don't need wings, then of course it's a boat!"

This guy also pays special attention to the research progress of the magic flying boat. She was the one who urged Li Qi to come here early in the morning.

Help also asked suspiciously: "Isn't a flying boat just a flying boat?"

"It's my dogma", Li Qi admits when he is wrong, this is really a boat.

Originally, Li Qi had already drawn a sketch and sent it back, thinking that he could see the completed "Red Star No. [-]", but unexpectedly, something went wrong again.

After carefully understanding the situation, he was very happy again, which is a good deviation.

The magic furnace has made progress again. After being approved to use magic steel to manufacture the special magic cylinder for flying boats, the technicians have made further improvements, reducing the weight of the third-level magic furnace to [-] kilograms, and the power of the energy supply circle has also increased. Significantly improved.

Help explained that this is also related to the slime research project. They have made progress on the rubber slime, and have made a rubber gel that can shield the magic field and have a sealing function.

The energy system project knew about this achievement for the first time, and used it on the magic furnace to change the magic cylinder from the casing type to the internal stirring type.The new design greatly reduces the amount of magic steel used, and the magic diffuser does not need to be so large, and the weight is naturally reduced.

Ewen Tiwan did a great job!

The improvement of the Magic Furnace is another fruitful fruit of the Mobile Fortress Project. Li Qi feels extremely honored and proud of starting the [-] Project.

"Wait, what's going on with this power?"

Li Qi pointed to the "bearing output power of 6.8 dragon power" on the surface of the magic furnace and asked Help, who scratched his head and said, "This is the power unit specified by Dean Youzan. One dragon power is equal to one thousand horsepower, one horsepower It is equivalent to raising a 75-kilogram object by one meter in one second. According to this calculation, how much power the magic power output from the magic furnace can be used on the magic power bearing, to be honest, I still don’t understand it very well.”

Li Qi suddenly realized that it was Youzan who moved the units of the earth world to Finn.

It makes sense to specifically mark "bearing output power". After all, the magic power is used in other spells, and the output power is different.

Li Qi remembered two laws proposed by the Institute of Basic Principles of Magic. One was that the lower the spell level, the higher the energy conversion rate.The other is that the energy conversion rate of evocation magic is the highest, and that of transformation is the lowest.

For example, the levitation technique, if it still has this power, it means that it can raise a 510-ton object by one meter in one second.In other words, it can support big guys like An 225, which is awesome.

Look at the label below again, sure enough, "The floating output power is 0.55 dragon force."

It was less than one-tenth, but this magic furnace can still support a forty-ton airplane... no, a flying boat.

"Unfortunately, Cardinal, our test is..."

Help has already done a lot of preliminary work. He reported: "All the magic power output by the magic furnace is used on the floating furnace, and it can only support [-] tons of weight and keep it in a suspended state."

Eh, why?
"Because we can only use the third-level floating furnace, if the level of the floating furnace is raised to the fourth level, the number of magic power output by the magic furnace will not be enough." Help said: "Well... that means the pressure is not enough, replace it with In the case of a level [-] magic furnace, the activation and control of the magic furnace and floating furnace must be performed by a hero-level person, which violates the design principles you proposed."

This is obvious, Fei Gong currently has more than 500 hero-level members, and non-Fei Gong people are either senior experts or important figures at this level, and it is impossible to directly pull them to the front line of the battlefield.Li Qi set several principles for the magic flying boat. The first one is that it can be operated by a strong person.

From this point of view, the level of the floating magic circle in the floating furnace further limits the output power, and this magic furnace can actually meet the magic power requirements of two third-level floating furnaces.

Help sighed: "Yes, but if the floating furnace is too close, there will be interference, which will not only weaken the effect, but also make it difficult to maintain balance. This is also the most difficult problem with the floating system of the mobile fortress project."

"Okay, I'm still too greedy, let's solve the problem first." Li Qi had no choice but to put aside his plan to soar into the sky, and start from the beginning steadily.

With the data of the magic furnace and the floating magic circle, the theoretical indicators of the first generation of magic flying boats are determined.

Equipped with a magic power furnace and a three-level floating furnace, assuming that half of the magic power is used to supply the floating furnace, the total weight of the airship cannot exceed ten tons.The remaining half of the magic power is used on the output of the magic bearing, which is 3400 horsepower, enough to provide surging power for the electric fan.

During World War II on Earth, the fighter jets with a single fan and a full load did not exceed ten tons.It is also barely close to the ultimate model P-47N of the feeding bottle (Thunderbolt).The matching engine is only 2800 horsepower.

Li Qi made a calculation, and his heart was pounding, that is to say, under the current conditions, it is absolutely possible to create a magic flying boat that surpasses the wild horses!
Now that the power and lift problems are solved, the only propulsion problem that needs to be solved, oh, and the maneuvering problem, if you don't want wings, it's a small case.

Looking at the "keel" that Help and the researcher made according to the drawings, Li Qi suddenly realized that it was not suitable.

This is designed according to the nearly one-ton magic furnace. Now the magic furnace is so much lighter, and the heat dissipation system has been improved, and its volume is also much smaller.Based on the XP-55, the wings are cut off, the cockpit is moved to the front, and the nose is changed to a rotating turret design. It seems that there is still room for improvement.

"Pterosaur! Yes, it can be changed to a pterosaur!"

Xiaohong is excited, and Li Qi bets that she is looking through the airplane illustrations in the earth world.

Pterosaurs, predators, etc., all have the same shape. Except for the wings, the streamlined nose is bulging in front, the waist and tail are straight, and the projection looks like a tadpole with its tail cut off.

Although it was extremely ugly, the widespread adoption of this aerodynamic body showed that the design was successful, and the bulging nose just accommodated the driver.

Li Qi didn't hesitate too much, and asked Xiaohong to send the blueprint and pass it on to Help to make the keel again.

Help waved his hand, and the researchers immediately moved, and Li Qi immediately saw the terrible productivity in the magical world.

The drawings were enlarged to actual size on a wooden board, and the researchers who were magicians, warlocks, druids and rangers showed their skills.

The magician cut and polished the iron wood with the wind blade technique, the warlock bent the wooden strips with the power of the underworld fire, annealed with the power of the shadow, and made various curved components.The ranger uses eagle eye to check the size against the blueprint, and the accuracy can be as small as the micron level.Druids used wood healing techniques to fuse the components together, using neither rivets nor mortise and tenon joints.

Then lay ring-shaped copper pipes on the left and right sides of the spine of the keel, and pull through the entire spine to ensure that the floating field generated by the floating furnace evenly acts on the hull of the spacecraft. In less than an hour, dozens of researchers completed the new keel.

If it is replaced with steel or even magic metal, it will not be too slow, after all, it is only a very rudimentary spell.

Then it is to install the magic furnace, the floating furnace, arrange the pipeline, install the steering system, the control system, the cockpit and the turret.

Seeing the blueprints become reality at a speed visible to the naked eye, Li Qi suddenly felt a little scared. This is no different from installing a computer.

Even the propeller, which seemed to take some time to process, was easily solved by a scarlet tyrant.

This tyrant placed his hand on a piece of painted iron wood, unleashed the divine power of destruction, and precisely split the unnecessary parts into sawdust. It was like a 3D printer for human flesh.

Fortunately, I finally encountered a difficulty.

What about the steering and handling systems?
Li Qi's original design was to set up a circle of eight nozzles on the front of the flying boat, and realize attitude control by injecting steam.The steam comes from the cooling system of the magic stove. Unexpectedly, the new "aviation magic stove" improves the heat dissipation design and directly uses the airflow during flight to dissipate heat.

Help asked, "Should I change it back?"

After finally losing so much weight, and also omitting the cooling circle, why add it back?
Xiaohong is also coming up with ideas: "How many rudders to add directly?"

Then it's not the rudder but the wings!
It's just that the rudder that controls the direction is safe, but the steering efficiency must be very low, and some maneuvers cannot be solved by the rudder.

For example, in a dive, if you don't use jet propulsion, you can only reduce the output of the floating furnace, but that is a straight fall instead of a dive.

In the end, even Xiaohong felt that it was still necessary to use air jets to control it, but it was impossible to install a blast spell circle on each jet.

Every magic circle needs to be activated. If too many magic circles are used, the pilot will be exhausted in one flight, so the fewer magic circles on the airship, the better.

"This is too simple..."

A muscular researcher with calloused hands, who seems to be a blacksmith, said: "Each nozzle is equipped with a small air intake, and there is a leather bag inside, which is full when flying. When it needs to jet, it shields the air intake. Mouth, wouldn’t it be enough to open the air vent? It’s the same as the air bag used for blacksmithing.”

It's really a blacksmith...

This is too much of a joke, how big the leather bag needs to be for the airflow to have enough momentum.

Another druid's eyes lit up: "Use a bouncing slime, the kind of slime that lives in the dark underground and jumps to the light if there is any light. It's small but powerful."

Several people with rich adventure experience agreed, saying that the thing is very powerful, and if it is accidentally hit, it will either be fractured or internally injured.But it's also easy to deal with, just throw the divine light ball in other directions, or just wrap it with a thick cloth.

Li Qi hasn't reacted yet, slime?

Are we talking about the magic flying boat? How did slime get involved?

"To install a control ring, of course it must be tightly connected to the keel." Huple understood, and explained to Li Qi: "Put eight jars on the control ring, and put a bouncing slime in each jar. The jar faces the outside. A trap door is installed in the place, and a solid crystal plate is installed."

"Usually the trap door is closed, and the bouncing slime will not move around. When you need to turn around, open the trap door to let in the light. Even at night, as long as there is a little light, the bouncing slime will jump out vigorously. If you don't close the door, it will keep jumping..."

Li Qi understood, and almost vomited.

This seems to... really work!
The slime jumped out and was blocked by the crystal plate, didn't he just take the airship and turn in that direction?Although it is a pulling force rather than a pushing force, the control needs to be reconsidered, but if the force is enough, it is really a good way to protect the environment!
Pay homage to the almighty slime!

"Inconceivable!"

Xiaohong was also yelling: "In the future, our fighter maintenance work will also include cleaning up those slimes,"

Some people are still talking about things that are even weirder: "All things can be eaten are researching popping candy, they must have this kind of slime."

With the "Slime Attitude Control Ring", the driver's control system also needs to be modified, and there is no way to complete it today.But this is really not installing a computer, and Li Qi didn't expect to build an airplane from scratch in one day.

But such an efficient progress made him look forward to seeing the "Red Star One" take off today.

Then there was another problem, the fuel tank was not enough.

It wasn't a problem originally, just install the rear fuselage, but according to the new design, the rear fuselage is flattened and can't hold much oil.

The aviation magic furnace needs to supply the floating furnace, which consumes a lot of fuel. Huple roughly estimated that the fuel consumption per [-] kilometers would be [-] liters.After all, most slime magic oils are neutral oils that do not participate in the reaction, and the actual consumption of magic slime liquid is very little.

In this way, before the magic oil technology is further developed, it will be difficult for the magic airship to compare with the electric fans in the earth world in terms of voyage.The fuel tank was originally designed to hold [-] liters, but now that the fuselage is flattened, it can only hold [-] liters, and the combat radius may only be [-] kilometers.

"Let's add two fuel tanks to the rear fuselage." Li Qi drew a thick and short streamlined auxiliary fuel tank on the three-dimensional perspective view of the workbench, copied another one, and glued them to the rear fuselage respectively.

Magic oil will not be directly ignited or explode like gasoline, so there is no problem in terms of safety.

Huple tilted his head and looked around: "It seems a bit..."

After all, he didn't finish his sentence, Li Qi was looking at the perspective view and didn't pay attention.

Then there is the arrangement of the driver and machine gunner or gunner. Speaking of this, Li Qi now thinks that the design of installing the electric fan behind the buttocks is extremely wise, so that the nose can be vacated to install powerful firepower, and even Directly use the triple or even quadruple Harlem machine guns from the previous machine gun car.

The turret is an omnidirectional rotating turret modeled on the B-29. Xiaohong has given him the design drawings, and Help has already built it. Waiting for the other parts to be installed, and finally put it together.

"The layout of the driver and machine gunner..."

Considering that several magic circles need to be controlled to control the flying boat, and the weapons also need to consume a lot of power, "Red Star No. [-]" is designed as a two-man crew, with the positions placed in front, and the two of them get together.

Li Qi suddenly had a whim and drew a schematic diagram.

Seeing the two people in front of each other, the one in front lying on their stomachs and the one in the back sitting upright, Help's cheeks twitched again.

"Li Qi, you are being funny, don't think I haven't watched the animation of the national team!"

Xiaohong said contemptuously: "That kind of objectification of women, full of sexual hints, you have the nerve to show it! Don't tell me you want to match a man and a woman?"

Li Qi was puzzled: "This posture is very suitable for the needs. The machine gunner needs to use his body to drive the turret, so he has to ride on his stomach. The driver needs a good view, so of course he has to sit upright. What does this have to do with a man and a woman? , two men, can't you?"

"puff……"

Xiaohong spit, coughed and said, "Just be dirty, don't tell me that you and Aurora have never used the posture of an old man pushing a cart."

"Ah! Is this an old man pushing a cart?"

Li Qi shouted innocently: "It's an eye-opener!"

"The one who is lying down is in the posture of riding a motorcycle, and the one who is sitting is in the posture of riding a Harley motorcycle. How come together they become the kind of mental pollution you said?"

Xiaohong snorted coldly: "I know you are teasing me, Li Qi, don't try to defeat me with this kind of mental pollution!"

"The benevolent sees benevolence, and the filthy sees filth." Li Qi said seriously in his heart: "I am also referring to real history."

"Ha, real history!?"

Xiaohong exclaimed: "There really is such a..."

Li Qi held down his heartbeat, which was a little too fast, and this was a good opportunity to trick her: "Whatever it is, let's bet?"

What responded to him was the sound of turning the pages of the book...

Well, there is no reason to talk about hanging up.

"Ah, how is it possible!?"

After a while, Xiaohong called out: "It really is!"

Of course, for Li Qi, who has played the War (Magic) Thunder German bombing line, the machine gunner and driver poses of the entry-level machine impressed him deeply.When I saw the animation of the national team back then, I always felt that those old guys borrowed the model of the bomber.

"I can't look straight at it!"

Xiaohong muttered bitterly: "Anyway, this layout is not allowed!"

Li Qi was about to speak, but Xiaohong said again: "You never thought that Catherine would go to the sky to fight, she must be a machine gunner, are you willing?"

"Change! Change it now!"

Li Qi waved his hand to erase the cockpit layout design on the workbench, making Help next to him confused.

Just after noon, all components, including the external fuel tank, were installed, even the turret was installed.Li Qi asked for a lift-off test, and only installed the line from the magic furnace to the floating furnace, which was directly activated by the tester.

Without even skin, the "Red Star No. [-]" that looked like a skinned mouse slowly lifted into the air amidst the buzzing sound. The tester said that the power was abundant, and the floating performance was no problem.

People on the ground applauded thunderously, but as the Red Star No. 30 rose higher and higher, and reached a height of [-] meters, the applause gradually stopped.

Everyone looked at the aircraft above their heads, their cheeks twitching.

Li Qi was also stunned. Xiaohong saw the figure of Red Star No. [-] through his eyes, and immediately exploded: "I said you are dirty and you are still calling for injustice. Let's see what this is!?"

Li Qi had no choice but to complain: "This shape is determined by you!"

Xiaohong roared: "The two eggs at the back, and the head in front, didn't you add it!?"

"Without the tadpole you ordered, nothing else would be like this!"

"I'm a tadpole, do you have to add eggs and heads!?"

"Are you saying that the fault lies with me, the person who added the details, rather than you, the person who determined the main body?"

"The dirty master can pollute everything, even if the trunk is a straight line, he can also pollute this... thing!"

The two were arguing, and Karin, who was knocking melon seeds next to her, looked at the aircraft in the sky, which was thick at the front and thin at the back, with a round head protruding from the front and two slender oval eggs hanging from the back. root……"

The blue dragon who was dozing off beside him was bored and woke up. He opened his eyelids and saw something in the air, and said in surprise, "It's so big! Whose hanging is that?"
