Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

After careful consideration, Lin decided not to explain what is meant by’brake’. Instead, let Totocani sit in the driver’s seat and actually take off the airship.

Although the layout of the driver’s seat of the re-restored airship is similar to Earth’s shape, it is actually much simpler than the real one. Because someone has only experienced flight operations from certain flight simulation games, the cockpit layout is at best seen from online photos and movie scenes. Therefore, the repair work is only based on the Earth experience, and the design is basically based on actual needs.

To put it simply, except for some switches, there is only the rudder; the first throttle that is responsible for the floating magic array, which controls the altitude; the second throttle that is responsible for the engine throttle and controls the speed. Then there is the two mode switching of the navigation map and the enemy radar.

Because unlike Earth, it has global climate data support, as well as permission restrictions on waterways and navigation rights. Therefore, in the navigation mode, after specifying the forward city, the map will only guide the direction of the shortest distance in a straight line. The rest of the detailed control, including related parameter settings and coordinated operation of multiple devices, are actually in the control program written by Fen.

Simply put, it is to simplify the control of the airship to a fool mode, just learn from the old United States and use the X-box handle to control the submarine.

Although the nerve line of the goblin may not be connected to the correct position, the IQ is still online. Having simplified the airship control to this degree, Totocani certainly had no reason to learn it. Even others be eager to have a try.

After a simple teaching, Lin said to the goblin: “Because you control the Sid for the first time, I suggest that you don’t do too fancy flying, just fly smoothly. Now the best The important thing is to get used to this control method and the operation of the instrument.”

Totocani pointed to each device in the driver’s seat, and reiterated the name and purpose once, and determined that he would operate After the basic knowledge learned in the manual is the same as the actual situation, he grasped the fixed rudder and released the fixation, and truly mastered the airship. Totocani asked a question: “However, these functions do not seem to be related to landing. Is it to be operated in other places?”

Although Sid has Fen’s integration program, all control And the status instrument can be carried out in the driver’s seat. However, the operation of individual equipment can still be completed in other places. That’s why the goblins have this question.

But the answer is not as the goblin guessed. Lin smiled and patted Totocani’s thin shoulders, and said, “As expected of someone who has piloted an airship, you can think of these things. I just want to start thinking about the function of landing now, so I will ask for it first. You sit in the driver’s seat and take over the airship. Just like that, you can drive it steadily.”

“Ai, oh~!” The goblin who didn’t understand it was just complied at random, but he wanted to understand it. Make a fuss about nothing shouted, and then there was a crackling goblin greeting. But just looking at the expression, Lin didn’t bother to understand what the goblin wanted to express. It’s more important to figure out how to brake and how to land.

A common picture in science fiction movies, the spaceship has the power of a helicopter and can take off and land vertically on any terrain. This is something that Sid can’t do. Because the buoyancy of the Sid is buoyancy, and the propulsion is propulsion, the two are not integrated.

Secondly, as the engine of the propulsion mechanism, the propeller blades are directly linked to the engine crankshaft without passing through the gearbox. So the size of the propulsion depends entirely on the throttle controlled by the throttle, which determines the engine speed. You can neither shift gears nor reverse.

Although it can cooperate with the flying maneuvers of the airship, the engine has an adjustment range of 15 degrees up and down, for a total of 30 degrees. But after all, it can’t be like the Osprey tilt-rotor. The propeller can be changed to a vertical upward direction to achieve the same maneuvering mode as a helicopter. even more how The engine is placed at the rear of the aircraft and can really rotate up to ninety degrees. It is also a condition of light forward and heavy weight and cannot fly normally.

In Earth, the same propeller aircraft must slow down in the air. In addition to slowing down the speed of the blades, it is to open the flaps to increase the wind resistance. In the end, I have to land at the airport, relying on the friction between the tires and the ground to stop the forward inertial force. This set does not work for the Sid, because the Sid does not have tires.

I originally thought that the vertical take-off and landing ability of the floating magic array would be good, so someone did not consider the problem of deceleration at all. But after going to heaven, slowing down became a difficulty that had to be faced, and could not be let go as lightly as originally estimated.

It can only be said that no matter how you plan on the ground, once you go to the sky, you will always find a fatal omission. No wonder Earth needs to go through countless test flights to develop aircraft.

Although the sides of the Sid have wings, they are more like rudders that control the airship’s posture, and the effect of using the angle of inclination to increase wind resistance is limited.

By stopping the engine, so that the propeller blades no longer provide thrust, the airship naturally cannot maintain the full-speed flight like it is now. But waiting for the speed of the airship to return to zero like this is unlikely to happen. Because even if there is no power, the aircraft can still ride the airflow and maintain a certain speed by just gliding. Therefore, it is impossible to expect that the airship will naturally stand still in the air.

Then, we have to think about ways to increase wind resistance from other directions.

Walking to the workbench that had not been removed, Lin took out the first coffin and placed it on, and started a new round of simulation calculations. At this time, other people who realized afterwards, under Polly’s translation of Totocani’s yelling, understood a little bit the problem they were facing now. Everyone didn’t complain, but everyone talking at once put forward their own opinions and methods.

In view of the multiple ideas and multiple paths, Lin still listened to their opinions very seriously. After all, one’s own thinking logic is easily confined to Earth’s nest, and perhaps the magic of the maze can find a different way to achieve its goal. But it turned out to be a pity, none of them came in handy.

To slow down and land, the most important thing is to maintain the integrity of the Sid. As long as the structure of the airship is not damaged by any movement, the people in it will not have any major problems.

But the method proposed by others, after simulation, the airship smashed into mud at the moment of landing as high as 90%. Half of the airship is about to disintegrate, and the remaining half. It was the airship that was seriously damaged, and the people in it would suffer more than half of the casualties.

Almost no one proposed a deceleration method that can pass the test, which is also limited by the existing conditions of the Sid. The only thing that is more promising is to turn off the engine and find a way to make the airship turn around 180 degrees and fly with the tail of the ship facing forward.

However, the airship’s exterior design takes into account the wind resistance of up, down, left and right, but does not consider the situation directly behind. If you are flying forward with the stern of the ship, the low-speed situation is fine. In the medium-to-high speed environment, structural instability is prone to occur, and there is a risk of disintegration. In other words, if you want to fly in this way, you still have to find a way to slow down to below a certain speed.

The king who once soared in the sky could not give any useful suggestions. Most important Augustus easily ignores the structure of the airship and proposes some methods that the body of a giant dragon can do.

But to be honest, this old dragon will speak, and it feels like he just wants to join in the fun, not really wanting to propose a solution. Nevertheless, Augustus’s views on flying imitating creatures are an inspiration to someone. And when everyone was at a loss and tried to come up with some bad ideas, they did simulation calculations by themselves.

Seeing that the calculation result has a success rate of more than 70%, Lin does not intend to continue thinking about other methods. The destination Abadan city is about to arrive, unless you have to hover in the sky to waste time and fuel. Otherwise, if you want to do something, you should act now.

After making up his mind, Lin began to assign all the tasks. The first thing to do is to fix all the moving things in the airship. The second is the seat belt, regardless of comfort, only requires that people can be firmly tied to the seat.

Although during the repair of the airship, some ropes were made from bark. When they left, these ropes were preserved, but the number was still far from enough. Therefore, under Lin’s instructions, the complete snow wolf skins were torn into strips, knotted into long strips, and used as ropes.

Such behavior is a waste in the eyes of the knowledgeable Uzov Gantia, but he dare not say anything. Even when the magician gave clear instructions, no one in the entire group raised objections, but obeyed the instructions obediently.

For the two apprentices and the four silverbeard dwarves, they have long been used to not questioning someone. Anyway, when there is a need to explain, that person will naturally explain it to everyone. And when he doesn’t want to talk, even if he asks, he will only get some more confusing answers, after all, the knowledge of both parties is not on the same level.

As the former Demon King Lich, he will not question anything. Because that man seldom assigns work to her, but whenever she wants her to take action, it is something that is particularly troublesome and other people can’t do. The general heavy work is impossible to her.

Black Dragon Augustus also belongs to this level. Lin didn’t want to offend this humanized Dragon Race, nor did he think that he needed a disabled old fogey to help. It could really help. It would be fortunate not to be a hindrance.

The two goblins have long succumbed to the magician’s lust. Since someone, like a few treasures, compiled his past experience in killing uncivilized goblins, compiled a detailed goblin Dissection, and introduced it to Totocani and Polly one after another, when they saw this man again, they had no legs. Shaking is already commendable for courage.

Merry doesn’t want to continue to offend this magician, so if he can fawn, just fawn. It’s okay to commit yourself to bedtime, even more how is just some simple work. However, Uzov Gantia didn’t understand the brain circuit of this magician anyway. If you can’t even raise questions, what else can be done except obediently.

So the airship cabin was quickly handled according to someone’s request. Everyone also returned to their seats and fixed themselves firmly, Lin and Totocani handed over the driver’s seat.

When someone holds the rudder again, there is only about twenty minutes away from Abadan. Move the second throttle valve back to the bottom end, and say: “The two cars stop and enter inertial flight. Start to descend.” At the same time, move the first throttle valve to the middle position.

When the engine is stopped, it is to maintain the idling state, not to stall. This is to avoid the need for the engine’s power when an emergency occurs. If the flame is turned off and it is to be started temporarily, it will be easy to make mistakes under tension.

The Sid is now 23,000 meters high and has a speed of 380 kilometers per hour. Both altitude and speed are declining.
