Magic Tower Starry Sky

Moving forward, there is always a destination or direction. Unlike land carriages, ships can only choose to berth in the port, and cannot sail to the middle of a certain desert. Although the airship is relatively free compared to the aircraft on the earth, not everyone welcomes the airship to dock. In particular, the place to sail next is the territory within the Gwana Empire.

For the convenience of management, including tax collection and management of entry and exit personnel, lords in various places only allow airships to dock in specific cities within their territories. In addition, when it is not an emergency, such as a force majeure crash, the goods will be regarded as smuggled, and the personnel will be regarded as entering the country without permission. The former will be confiscated, and the latter will be directly executed.

In addition to the cities designated by the nobles, other options for airships are magic towers with anchor positions. Of course, choosing these places to stop is not only because of various restrictions, but also because of its convenience.

Among the supplies needed by airships, food and water are the best to deal with, and they are basically available everywhere. But some airships need to use the energy pool of the magic tower to supplement the small energy pool on the airship, which is not something that can be done anywhere.

Just like the Tower of the Great Sage in the past, with the assistance of the magicians from the Leon District Branch, facilities for anchoring piles for airships were added. In addition to being used to tether the airship, it can also be used to transmit magical powers.

Sometimes some airships also need maintenance and repair of equipment. In addition to the boat owner and the technicians accompanying the boat, it is best to have a special dock for operations. Even some relatively large cities will develop workshops for manufacturing airships. To put it simply, a city similar to the concept of an airport on the earth is formed.

In other words, although Midi does not have concepts such as air supremacy and flight paths, it does not fly wherever it wants. Especially driving an unarmed airship.

All of the above was learned from chatting with the goblin Totocani; some of them were obtained by someone's own deliberation. But because I was too busy before, I didn't think about that issue. Now that he was about to set off, that question was right in front of him, and he had to think about it. Where are you going? Fuel and magic stones that can replenish power are limited, so someone is not allowed to fly around like a headless chicken.

Because someone asked a question so shallow that no one could answer it. So Lin took the goblin out again and asked, "How did you navigate the airship before?"

"Navigation? Your Excellency, what does this mean?"

The goblin's rhetorical question made someone feel a little confused, maybe they fly based on their intuition and mood. Lin had no choice but to ask in another way: "When you controlled the airship before, how did you plan to get to Estali?"

"Oh, this one. Originally, my flight route was after crossing the Jura Mountains. I took the Abachi Line. Depending on the situation along the way, I would stop at cities such as Abadan, Hailis, Minab, and Save. About **** (20 ) day’s voyage, you can reach the holy city of Estali.”

While the goblin was talking, Lin also pulled out the built-in navigation map of the Sid. With Totocani reporting a name, a city is marked on the map.

For such a map on the airship, Totocani's eyes lit up on the spot. For him who is always navigating around the Lost Land, he knows the importance of maps better than anyone else. And the picture in front of him was more detailed than any he had ever seen.

But just having a map and knowing the destination is useless because there is no direction. Lost ground is not like the earth with GPS navigation. You know where you are and where you are, so you can correct your direction. Relying on the appearance of terrain and features to determine the direction is one way, but Lin still asked the goblin: "In the past, how did you determine which city you were flying to?"

To this question, the goblin showed a troubled look. Totocani let his daughter go into the warehouse area to find something, while he himself came to the driver's seat and looked at the map carefully.

After a while, Polly walked over with a small wooden box in her arms. Totocani opened the wooden box and let everyone see that there were some broken things of similar shape inside. Lin puzzled and asked, "What is this?"

Totocani picked up one of the intact, and possibly the only, intact artifacts. It was slightly smaller than the goblin's fist; the base seemed to have lettering, but Lin hadn't looked carefully; the upper half was a glass-shaped spherical cover, and inside was a half-painted pointer. Goblin said:

"Which city we used to fly to, we had to rely on the compass of that city. These compass not only can indicate the direction of our flight, but also the docking permit of that city. With this compass, the tax for entering the city will be cheaper , but now all the compass needles I have are broken. Although they can still be used as a permit to enter the city, the broken ones can also be replaced in the city for a small fee; This one leads to Yasuj. And Yasuj is too far away from here, if we don’t stop for supplies on the way, we won’t be able to reach that city.”

Lin took a look at the location of Yasuj City. In terms of straight-line distance, it is about one-third to one-fourth from the Jura Mountains to the front of the holy city of Estali. In other words, it was very close to the terminal. If the airship before the goblin had to sail for more than 20 days and stop at nearly ten cities to reach it, then it is indeed impossible to reach Yasuj directly.

Taking the compass needle from the goblin, holding it in his hand, Lin changed several directions. The compass needle was indeed pointing in the same direction, and it was not the north and south poles of geomagnetic field. pointer. It's just that in that comic, the record pointer relies on magnetic force, so what about the lost ground? It always has a rationale.

Let Kaya take out the coffin and related analysis equipment, and start analyzing the compass as a magic tool. Soon, he found the magic circle engraved on it, and studied its effectiveness, such as the guidance magic circle that can track specific powers from a long distance.

The reason for this inference is that the magic circle with the same function is also one of the topics that Lin has recently studied. One of the achievements is the magic circle used on the box cut, which can be used for remote positioning and used as the reference coordinates of the flashing technique.

The difference is that the compass is more like a receiver, receiving a signal source from a specific band. And this signal source is a specific arrangement and combination of power messages sent from some kind of magical signaling device, like a combination of a radio station and a radio.

Since it was something that had been explored, Lin quickly wrote a program that could search for these bands, and had Fin integrate it into the Sid's control system. The multifunctional reconnaissance device outside the airship quickly found a special signal source scattered throughout the space, and reverse searched to find its source location and distance, which were displayed on the airship's map.

However, it seems that the search effect is too good, and the locations highlighted on the navigation map far exceed the known locations that Totocani has visited. There are even cities or magical towers that don't exist in someone's map information. The number of places that can be used as navigation guides far exceeds Lin Yuan's estimate. Lin even used this information to correct the location of cities on some maps.

The most surprised by this, of course, is the goblin Totocani. He spent most of his life on an airship. Every time it is necessary to open up a channel to reach a new location, it is very troublesome. In addition to the cost of purchasing the local compass, there is also the trial flight of the airship, confirming the supply points on the way, and contacting the local managers to obtain permission.

Sometimes, just to be on the safe side, they would choose to advance to a new location by land, and they would only drive the airship to go there after getting the compass. And the cost of this, in addition to the cost of the journey, there is also a lot of time. In short, it is not easy to light up a certain city or a certain magic tower on the map like someone.

The goblin originally expected that when the collected compass was almost completely wiped out, it could only fly slowly in a certain direction. Apart from observing the terrain and features, it also had to bet some luck. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find a city that can be used to replenish the airship with supplies other than food before the supplies are exhausted. But unexpectedly, the problem seemed to be solved in one go.

Lin Yuan was also surprised by such a result. But when I think about it carefully, it makes sense. The magic tower is lost, just like the computers on the earth that are connected to the Internet but without firewalls. In the eyes of top hackers, it is a broiler at the mercy of others.

Of course, the magic tower is still quite primitive to computers, and it may not be possible to use hacking methods to play tricks. But as long as it's an external broadcast function, it's like being defenseless to him.

The deeper this level of feeling is, the more regret someone will feel about letting go of the knowledge of p language. If some evil methods are really discovered by people, the harm will be no less than the natural disaster of the undead.

But when things are done, they are done, and the immediate focus is on getting out of trouble. To be on the safe side, the first destination Lin chose was the first stop planned by Totokani, the city of the Gwana Empire—Abadan, because it was the closest.

Because at this stage, there is only an estimated value for the various consumptions of the airship, and the actual situation has yet to be verified. Arrive at the city early, if there is a problem with the airship, at least you can buy resources to repair it. Instead of staring blankly in the snow like now.

All the function switches of the Sid have already been warmed up~www.NovelMTL.com~ Lin grasped the rudder with both hands, and various instruments and data were immediately displayed in front of the driver's seat along with the unfolded water mirror screen. I thought about using a mechanical meter, but the reading itself comes from magic detection. It needs to be converted to drive the movement of the mechanical watch, which consumes more power, so I gave up.

The cockpit layout of the earth-like airliner, the driver is on the left, and Fin is sitting in the co-pilot's seat on the right. She and Kaya behind are monitoring the various records fed back by the program, so that when an error message occurs, it can be repaired as soon as possible.

Totocani, who was sitting in the third driver's seat, and Polly, who was further behind, both had the magic stone book of the operation manual in one hand, and they secretly imitated Lin's driving movements. If they want to control this brand new airship, the father and daughter will have to work hard.

Lin pushes the first throttle to control the power, and the magic side energy, which is different from the earth, begins to flow into every corner of the magic circle, and those mysterious and unexplainable magical effects gradually increase, and begin to affect reality. At the same time, all functions are launched one by one.

Sid, officially launched!
