Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 367: Completing a Prototype Airship
"Lifting cylinder activated, maximum output"
"Confirm takeoff. Floating gear activated.It's working stably. "
"The output of the lifting cylinder is 20%.When the altitude reaches 100 degrees, it goes to the offset output. "
Copy that.
The ground gradually fades away from the enchanted glass windows installed from the front to the diagonal downward.
This is the take-off process.Firstly, it floats slightly by using a large diameter wind magic propulsion system mounted on the front and rear of the airship, and two on the left and right.At the moment of floating, activate the magic device that uses the magic formula of improved fall control. At this point, the mass of the airship will be less than one-tenth, so the output of the wind magic propulsion device for ascent is narrowed.Even the improved fall control technique cannot float completely, so the gradual fall is offset by a wind magic propulsion system for lifting.
"Altitude 100, set the output of the lifting cylinder to offset output"
"The Wind Magic Barrier is working. The output of the Magic Stone Furnace is stable."
"Hull stability, within assumed value"
"Nh, then output to the propulsion cylinder.Output is 10% for now.Slowly swing over Merlinesburg. "
"Okay."
The prototype airship starts moving at Isla's behest.A stable airship over the sky is covered with a magical barrier of wind, which is no longer influenced by wind from all directions.The magic required to maintain the powerful wind magic barrier that covers this huge hull is enormous, but we use a Magic Stone Furnace to gain its enormous magic output.There is still room for power, so it is possible to increase the strength of the wind magic barrier when fighting flying monsters such as flying dragons.
"You're doing fine for now."
"Nh, I'm going out of Mélinesburg for now."
"It's going to be a lot of trouble falling into the city."
By the way, the prototype airboat crashed into the city about twice.Fortunately, there were no injuries, but I naturally needed something to repair the broken house, and Merti was angry and scattered with me because I had to do extra work with it.
"How stable is the improved fall control technique?"
"I'm fine for now.There seems to be no problem with the load on the conductive wire. "
An alchemist at R&D says, peeking into Isla's question like a crystal sphere.
Well, I made a magic conduction wire out of a fairly high ratio of mythrills.As long as we don't spin the two Magic Stone Furnaces for as long as we can.
"Rudder 0-2-0. Circle around Melinesburg."
Roger that, rudder 0-2-0.
That's how the Night Demon Wizard, who was the steering wheel, started turning the airship right by manipulating the wheel with the numbers written on it.Um, our voyage - aviation?The technique is an amateur technique with baked blades.The ship's carpenter, who is not on board now, was not so familiar with navigation technology, and I would like to invite someone to teach me navigation technology to educate me.
Incidentally, the rotation of the airship is carried out by a wind magic propulsion system mounted laterally on the rear of the hull.Air resistance is much smaller than water resistance.A rudder like the one used on a regular ship could not achieve a proper reorientation, so this is also a bitter measure.
"Speed it up. Thirty percent thrust"
Copy that.
Isla's orders increase thrust and increase the speed of the airship.There are no strange sounds so far, and there seems to be no problem.
Are you okay?
"For now. Even the information from the wizard that is being emitted to various parts of the ship has not been able to detect suspicious sounds or phenomena."
Now, there are many small animals in this ship that are being manipulated by magicians - messengers.Now that we have only the minimum number of people on board to move the ship, it is more difficult to detect what is happening everywhere on the ship.So, I'm throwing birds and mice that were manipulated by the magicians onto the ship to see if anything went wrong.
"In the meantime, I'll try to run it at 80% output."
"Do it. I hope you're okay."
We intend to operate at 60% of the thrust of normal navigation and 80% of the thrust in a hurry. We are taking a safety margin of 20% each.Of these, operation at 100% must also be tested, but up to 80% is fine for now.It would be nice if you could fly to the Dragons mountain kingdom on a regular voyage without any shortage.
For a while, the prototype airship took a right-hand turn around Melinesburg and circled around to the left before successfully landing at the temporary arrival and departure site at the rear of the royal castle, formerly the experimental site of the R&D department.
If the test flight succeeds, the outfitting and interior finish will soon be delighted.Now, prototype airships are finally flying for a really short time, and they can't fight and sail like this - aviation?I can't travel long distances for now.They're unarmed, and they don't have any equipment to support their crew.
Fortunately, this prototype airship doesn't need to be fueled, so it's surprisingly large.Most of the luggage is going to be in my inventory, but I need to get the minimum supplies to the warehouse.If I can't use the inventory in any way, we'll all starve to death.Even if the magician can manage water with magic, mesh alone is difficult.
There is also the problem of discarding garbage around the water and the toilet.If it's a boat that goes to sea, it might as well drift into the sea, but it's not going to do so on this boat that goes to the sky.No, well, if it's a native forest or a wilderness where nobody lives down there, it might still be okay, but if you fly along the street, that's not the case.I hate airships that fly with dirt drifting away, and I don't have any dreams or hopes.
"When that happens, isn't the cruising distance that long?"
Sylphie leans his neck as he watches a prototype airship being loaded, outfitted and decorated one after the other.
"No, if we can get a wizard who can load food and pump water, we'll be able to keep flying without supplies until the food runs out.However, the waste that comes out of the living will no longer be dumped from the sky. "
"It's going to be a weapon on the battlefield."
"It's an airship that spreads bombs and dirt out of the unattainable sky... I don't know"
One can only threaten a small city, but when it becomes operational with ten or twenty ships, it will be easily destroyed in cities like Melinesburg.If you're going to attack a city, it's not a grenade, it's an incendiary bomb - it's simply an oil pot filled with flammable oil.
"If it's as high as it was flying today, there might still be an attack coming, but could it be higher?"
"Hmm, that's right. The wind magic barrier doesn't seem to pose much of a problem with air or atmospheric pressure, and if you want to fly, you can fly from 30 to 50 times the height you flew today.I mean, if you can't fly that much, you can't cross mountains, right? "
There should be room for between 3,000 and 5,000 meters above ground.I don't know what happens if it's more than 10,000 meters.
"If you go up that high, you'll find it hard to find."
"Even if it's that big, it looks like beans.It doesn't sound much, and if you don't pay too much attention, you won't notice. "
"If you were flying at that height, you wouldn't be able to help yourself."
"Would you like to move away from a military perspective?"
"What are you talking about? Big ships are military weapons in the first place, right?"
"That's true, but come on...."
Large ships capable of transporting large quantities of personnel are primarily used for military purposes.At least in this world.
Of course, there are transactions, but there are monsters in this world.And of course, the sea. It seems that most of nature and the world's large ships are under military jurisdiction, as only states can provide enough weapons and combatants to counter it.
"But you really made a ship flying in the sky.If you look at that, the small group of countries in the West will get away with it. "
"You'll be surprised by the dragonish mountain kingdom.At the very least, we will not be despised as the kingdom of the Dragons. "
I hope so.
The prototype airship is loaded with lightning cannons, and I can use heavy machine guns to attack the air.However, the history of air warfare is overwhelmingly longer there.You wouldn't be a good opponent to despise.
"In the meantime, it looks like we're on time."
I want to go to bed now. After the test flight was successfully completed, I began to get tired.
