Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 358: Airship Development: Introduction
"Well, it's been a long time since I've developed a new one....."
Take a look around the R&D department.Of course Ira is here. And there's the R&D department.Others are Gerda and Meme, my sidekicks of the day.
"What is it?"
"What is it?"
"Well, it's unusual for Mr. Aquawil to be here anyway."
"If you're in my way, I'll go home."
"It's not like that."
There is no doubt that Ifrita is close to the R&D department in the middle of the year, but Aquawil feels really unusual.
"I've been looking pretty good when Koske hasn't been here."
"You see a lot of unusual things here."
I see?
Certainly there are many unusual things, but this is like the heart, where the latest technology in the Kingdom of Merinard is developed.Is it okay to put an outsider in such a whiskey?Well, I can't imagine that Mr. Aquawil would pass on the information, and you're being silenced.
"Well, if that's the case. This time, it's an airship."
Oops!
"You're finally building a vehicle that flies in the sky!"
"It's a dream ride!"
The R&D department is very excited to hear about the airship.
"Why a ship?"
"Airboards are vehicles designed to carry small numbers of people and small quantities of luggage at high speeds, but this time they are designed to transport large quantities of people and supplies.It's going to grow naturally, and it's going to look like a ship, so I named it Airship.Well, it might end up in a completely different shape, so let's think about the name again. "
He seemed convinced by my explanation, and there was no particular objection from the attendees.
"Wind magic propulsion systems are used for propulsion as well as airboards.It is necessary to consider whether to use something larger than that used for airboards, or whether to operate multiple outputs that are the same as those used for airboards.After all, it's good to be able to move the airship.It may be more cost-effective to produce one high-output material than one low-output material, so research is needed around it. "
Ifrita also nods to my policy of being aware of manufacturing costs.Before, Ifrita taught me about the area.I am a good student.
"That's the key design, but I have a few ideas.This proposal I put forward is only one example, and it is not necessarily the best solution.However, whatever you think, the neck will be floating itself.I mean, how do we get buoyancy? "
With that said, I will use chalk to draw some images of the airship on the blackboard installed in the R&D department.I'm honest and subtle, so I'm not really sure if it will be passed on properly.
"First of all, this is the type of airship I had in my world.Use its buoyancy to lift the lower gondola by placing gas lighter than air in a heavily airtight, sturdy bag.Of course, if the bag were to come out, birds and flying monsters would have to be protected with lightweight and durable materials to prevent it from leaking and losing buoyancy. "
First of all, I will draw a so-called airship - something that has a gondola attached to it to get under a big airbag.
"The advantage of this type of airship is that it basically covers buoyancy with an airbag, so it can turn less power into buoyancy.I mean, you don't have to pay magical fees to float. "
That's the point of view in this world.In the original world, there is less fuel needed to maintain altitude.They were using power for ascent and descent, so they didn't seem to be able to keep flying perfectly unsupply.
"The disadvantage is how to collect gases that are lighter than air in the first place.Can you make a lot of that with alchemy? "
"I can't help it. However, if it becomes large enough to float the ship, the cost is not foolish.And there's something dangerous in those gases. "
"Oh, methane burns, hydrogen explodes, ammonia is toxic.I think helium was probably the safest, but I don't know how to make it. "
I wish I could make it at the concierge, but I don't think I can do it somehow.I wonder if it would take me to give up from the beginning.
"So, the other problem is how to keep it level.This can be said for any type of airship that I'm going to describe, but it's probably the hardest to keep it level in the air.The airboards were struggling to do something about it at first. "
"Nh, I had a hard time. It was full of costumes."
"No, just remembering makes me sick."
I remember putting a golem sensor on the flotation device installed in the four corners, measuring the altitude, changing the output of the flotation device according to the unevenness of the ground, and it was very difficult.
"It will be necessary to calculate and design the weight of the structural material, the weight of the load, the size of the buoyancy, and the weight balance. Think about it normally."
"Nh, there's plenty of possibilities to magically solve that."
After all, the airboard should have used magic equipment that generates plankton magic without applying poor compensation.Leaving everything to the magic of "floating things (horizontally)," rather than trying to balance them badly, didn't matter. Fucking fantasy.
"Honestly, I can only design within a range that uses little magic.I rarely get out of the common sense of the world I lived in.So I'm going to give you directions.I'm counting on everyone's head and arms to solve this specific problem. "
I don't really want to do this.
"It's okay, development is teamwork."
That said, I will begin to write another diagram on the blackboard.
"Here's the second way.It's not a landscape, it's a vertical sail, it's a wind blowing up into the sky. "
What I wrote was a picture of a large cloth sail on a flat box.In the middle of the box is a blow-out, designed to place a magic device that blows wind onto the sail.
"This is how we blow wind from the bottom onto the sail and fly up.However, of course, there is a problem of fuel consumption, and the impact of the crosswind is unknown.If you get the same upward thrust, you might want to use a wind magic propulsion system. "
Now draw a square box fitted with a wind magic propulsion system.It's a wind magic vertical takeoff and landing plane, so to speak.
"However, this type of wind magic propulsion system that rises and falls is likely to be quite difficult to control.If any of the four corners of the propulsion system fails to balance the output, the position will collapse readily.When you fall into the air and tilt, you're right upside down on the ground. "
That's not creepy.
"Depending on the altitude, you won't be able to save him first."
Put the chalk back in front of the R&D department.
"Here's what I can come up with.In any case, I intend to use a wind magic propulsion system for the propulsion force.It has absolutely impeccable performance to use as a horizontal thrust. "
"Nh, that's for sure."
Not only Isla seems to agree with the use of the wind magic propulsion system as a thrust, but others also agree.For now, as a propulsion system, it has a breakthrough capability.
"I have a few questions."
"OK, I know the flying machine, and I'll answer within my knowledge.But I'm not a flight machine expert or anything.I have absolutely no idea what it is to be an expert, so thank you for being there. "
I raised my hand to the female Dwarf artisan in R&D before I started accepting questions.Anyway, let's start with a Q&A and an exchange of views.Like the purification magic I used when I made the cans, I might have a solution in a direction that I had no idea.
