Don't call me evil god

Chapter 449 Humanoid Power Source

A large number of people worked day and night to speed up the repair process of the Jinchao Pofeng.

On the first day, materials were transported and the old frame was removed.

The next day, after the first batch of materials arrived, "reconstruction" began.

On the third day, the airship was completed, with only some minor details left to be worked on.

In 3 days, you can quickly build an airship.

After the production and transportation efficiency in the Ceylon region is liberated, as long as people are willing to concentrate their strength, under the catalysis of divine power, the production capacity will be so outrageous.

Captain Ronald was simply dumbfounded.

In his estimation, even if he just hammered and patched up the original airship, such as nailing some wooden boards on it and sewing some patches on the damaged airbags, it would take at least more than a week.

As a result, the members of the Church of Seeking Knowledge were overwhelmed.

Three days of work!

This speed even exceeds the speed at which the airship factory in Green Port produces new airships.

……

Originally, according to the idea of ​​Nowen's followers, when rebuilding the Jinchao Fengpo, they planned to expand its specifications.

The original airship was used for both passengers and cargo, and there were only 10 cabins reserved for passengers. Assuming that each cabin could accommodate 5 people, there were only 50 tickets that could be sold to passengers.

In that case, why not just expand the airship!

If we replace it with bigger airbags, a bigger hull, a bigger power structure and propellers, wouldn't it be possible to carry more passengers?
However, before construction began, objections were raised to the idea.

"No, the size of an airship is limited, and this method cannot expand it."

A believer who has exchanged relevant knowledge and studied airship repair and maintenance explained the reason:

"The size and strength of the [Elemental Core], the core power source of the entire airship, determines the scale of the airship."

"If we want to build a bigger airship, we must first replace it with a bigger and stronger [Elemental Core] so that we can operate enough goblin engineering machines."

"The [Elemental Core] on the Jinchao Pofeng is specially used for small-scale airships. In fact, before this, this airship had already been expanded to the extreme."

"Its previous size was the maximum weight and size that the power compartment could carry."

Goblin engineering cannot achieve miracles through sheer force.

On the contrary, all the machines and engineering devices developed by the goblins ultimately rely on the [Elemental Core] to maintain their operation.

In other words, [Element Core] looks more like a permission to "unlock the power source".

Without sufficient permissions, the machine will not receive the corresponding power and will not be able to operate on its own.

[Element Core] is an absolutely scarce item in the continent of Plantis. It can basically only be bought from the goblins, and the price is high and the quantity is extremely small.

After understanding this.

Soon, a smart believer came up with a bizarre idea that was "unconventional".

"The machine itself isn't powerful enough, so... can we use human power to provide power?"

"Just like the new workshop over in Dawn City."

As soon as these words came out.

"Hey? Hey hey?"

The believers responded one after another.

They seem to have found a solution that seems outrageous at first glance, but is very reasonable if you think about it carefully!
The new workshops in the Dawn City area are a new production method that uses those who master divine arts as high-quality cattle and horses.

For example, the process of weaving cotton into cotton cloth.

Ordinary people just rub the cotton yarn slowly by hand, sort it out little by little, make it from coarse yarn into fine yarn, and finally wind it into cotton thread, and then start weaving.

The intervention of divine magic accelerated this process.

Under the catalysis of the divine power, the large balls of cotton that have been collected will skip a series of processes in the middle and quickly turn into a corresponding amount of cotton thread that can be used for weaving immediately! Give the raw materials and get the results.

This is the powerful effect of divine magic.

The same is true.

Theoretically speaking, the goblin airship can indeed be powered by manpower.

Because its principle is essentially the two links of "suspension" and "propulsion".

The buoyancy provided by the airbag allows the airship to take off, and the rotor at the rear provides power to keep it sailing in the right direction.

The difficulty in increasing the size of an airship lies mainly in the latter.

As for the suspended part, it is nothing more than adding more water to flour, or more flour to water.

For a bigger airship, equip it with bigger air bags to provide more buoyancy. In short, it will definitely be able to fly if it wants to.

The focus is on how to drive the expanded behemoth.

If the power is insufficient, a gust of wind in the sky may cause the airship to lose balance, roll over and cause a series of accidents.

The idea behind goblin engineering is to use higher-specification [Element Cores] to build larger machines and provide greater power.

The seekers of knowledge took another approach.

Use other methods to provide power!

The mages carved a large number of [Hurricane Array] runes on different locations of the hull of the Jinchao Windbreaker.

Using mental energy to activate this magic circle will create hurricanes in the magic circle until the energy is disconnected and the magic circle stops working.

The strong wind will make it difficult for people within the range of the magic circle to maintain their balance, and can effectively restrict their movements.

Although this spell is only a tier 2 magic, few people can master it.

It is a rather unpopular magic.

There are not many traditional magicians who can use the [Hurricane Array] because they usually do not pray to the Goddess of Magic to obtain the blessing of this magic.

There aren't many people willing to learn in the Church of Knowledge.

As a tier 2 magic, [Howling Wind] is more useful than [Hurricane Array]. It is no longer in a fixed area and does not need to be drawn in advance. After chanting the corresponding spell, a fierce wind will condense at the target location to attack the enemy and make them lose their balance.

The reason why [Hurricane Array] is unpopular is simple.

Again.

Magic does not distinguish between friend and foe.

It is true that enemies who accidentally enter the magic circle will be blown away by the hurricane and unable to move.

The problem is - it is difficult for people outside to hit the enemies inside with conventional attacks.

No matter whether it is arrows, throwing axes or ice arrows, as long as it is an attack that requires throwing and has a trajectory, it will also be blown away by the hurricane and lose its accuracy.

Compared with [Howling Winds], [Hurricane Array] is more effective, but the scope of application of this effect is too narrow.

This unpopular magic has found its most suitable use on the goblin airship!

Simply use it as a source of motivation!
After the carved magic circle is activated, as long as the mage continues to inject mental power into it, a howling hurricane will form outside the airship, providing the airship with power in the corresponding direction!
The advantages and disadvantages of this method are very obvious.

The advantage is that it bypasses the limitations of the [Elemental Core] and replaces the machine with a "humanoid power source". The combination of the mage professional and the magic array becomes the power source of the airship.

The disadvantage is that it’s a bit time-consuming!
During the flight, a wizard is required to continuously charge the magic circle. During this period, you cannot move at will and must stay focused.

And there are more than one or two mages.

The noble spellcaster master is unwilling to do such menial work.

But this shortcoming is not a problem at all in the Church of Knowledge!
