Magic Tower Starry Sky

After careful consideration, Lin decided not to explain what "braking" is. Instead, let Totocani sit in the driver's seat and actually operate the airship to take off.

Although the layout of the refurbished airship is said to be in the shape of a globe, it is actually much simpler than the real one. Because someone has only experienced flight operations from some flight simulation games, and the cockpit layout is at most seen from Internet photos and movie scenes. Therefore, the restoration work only takes the experience of the earth as a reference, and basically designs based on actual needs.

Simply put, except for some switches, there is only the rudder; the first throttle valve is responsible for the floating magic circle, which is to control the height; the second throttle valve is responsible for the engine throttle, which controls the speed. Then there is the switch between the two modes of navigation map and enemy radar.

Because unlike the earth, there is global climate data support, as well as permission restrictions on waterways and navigation rights. So 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 the coordinated operation of various devices, are actually all in the control program written by Fen.

To put it simply, it is to simplify the control of the airship into a fool mode, and only need to learn how to use the X-box handle to control the submarine.

Although the goblin's nerve line may not be connected to the correct position, its IQ is still online. The airship control has been simplified to this level, of course there is no reason why Totocani can't learn it. Even others jumped at it.

After a simple teaching, Lin said to the goblin: "Because you are controlling the Sid for the first time, I suggest you not to do too fancy flying, just fly smoothly. The most important thing now is to get used to this kind of flying." controls, and instrumentation."

Totocani pointed to every piece of equipment in the cockpit, and repeated the names and uses. After confirming that the basic knowledge he had learned from the operation manual was the same as the actual situation, he held the fixed rudder and unfixed it. Really mastered this airship. Totocani asked a question: "But none of these functions seem to be related to landing. Is it to be operated elsewhere?"

Although the Sid has Fern's integration program, all controls and status instruments can be accessed from the pilot's seat. However, the operation of individual devices can still be done elsewhere. That's why the goblin asked this question.

But the answer is not as the goblin guessed. Lin smiled and patted Totocani's thin shoulder, and said, "As expected of someone who has piloted an airship, he can think of these things. I'm just starting to think about the function of landing now, so I will Please sit in the driver's seat and take over the airship first. That's it, drive steadily."

"Ah, ah~!" The goblin, who didn't understand at first, just responded casually, but after he figured it out, he shouted in a fuss, followed by crackling goblin language greetings. But just looking at the expression, Lin didn't bother to understand what the goblin wanted to express. It is more important to figure out how to brake and how to land first.

A common scene in sci-fi movies, the spaceship has helicopter-like maneuverability and can take off and land vertically on any terrain, something the Sid cannot do. Because the buoyancy of the Sid belongs to the buoyancy, and the propulsion belongs to the propulsion, the two are not integrated.

Secondly, as the engine of the propulsion mechanism, the propeller blades are directly connected to the crankshaft of the engine without a gearbox in the middle. Therefore, the size of the propulsion depends entirely on the throttle controlled by the throttle valve to determine the engine speed. Neither shifting nor reversing.

Although it can cooperate with the flight maneuvers of the airship, the engine has an adjustment range of 15 degrees up and down, a total of 30 degrees. But after all, it is impossible to change the propeller to vertically upward like the Osprey tilt rotor aircraft to obtain the same maneuvering mode as a helicopter. What's more, the engine is placed at the tail of the aircraft, and it can really rotate 90 degrees upwards. It is also a situation where the front is light and the rear is heavy.

On the earth, the same propeller aircraft needs to slow down in the air, in addition to slowing down the rotation speed of the blades, it is to open the **** to increase wind resistance. In the end, you still have to land at the airport, relying on the friction between the tires and the ground to stop the forward inertial force. This set also doesn't work for the Sid, because the Sid has no tires.

Originally thought that relying on the vertical take-off and landing ability of the floating magic circle would be enough, so someone didn't consider the problem of deceleration at all. But after going to the sky, deceleration has become a difficulty that has to be faced, and it cannot be let go as gently as the original estimate.

It can only be said that no matter how well thought out you are on the ground, you will always find fatal omissions once you go to the sky. No wonder the development of aircraft on the earth requires countless test flights.

Although there are wings on both sides of the Sid, they are more like rudders that control the posture of the airship, and the effect of increasing wind resistance by using the inclination angle is limited.

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

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

Walking to the workbench that hadn't been dismantled, Lin took out the first coffin and put it back on, and started a new round of simulation calculations. At this time, other people who were belatedly understood the problems they were facing now under the yelling of Polly's translator, Totokani. Everyone didn't complain, but put forward their opinions and methods in a hurry. number six

In view of multiple ideas and multiple paths, Lin still listened to their opinions very seriously. After all, one's own thinking logic is easily limited to the nest of the earth, maybe the magic of the lost ground can find a different way to achieve the goal. But it turned out to be a pity that none of them came in handy.

Slow down, land, and most importantly, maintain the integrity of the Sid. As long as the structure of the airship is not damaged by any action, the people inside will have no major problems.

But the method proposed by others, after simulation, the proportion of the airship smashed into mud at the moment of landing is as high as 90%, half of it is about to disintegrate in the air, and the remaining half is due to serious damage to the airship. At least half of the people inside would suffer casualties.

Almost no deceleration method proposed by anyone can pass the level, 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 stern facing forward.

However, the exterior design of the airship takes into account the wind resistance in front, left, and right, but does not consider the situation directly behind. If it is flying with the stern facing forward, the low-speed situation is fine, but in the medium-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 need to find a way to slow down to below a certain speed.

The king who once soared in the sky could not offer any useful suggestions. The most important thing is that Augustus can easily ignore the structure of the airship and propose some methods that can only be achieved by the body of a dragon.

But to be honest, the old dragon would speak, and it felt like he just wanted to join in the fun, not really want to propose any solution. Still, Augustus's idea of ​​flying in imitation of living things gave someone an idea. And when everyone was at a loss and came up with some bad ideas, they did simulation calculations by themselves.

Seeing that the calculation results have a success rate of more than 70%, Lin does not intend to continue thinking about other methods. Destination Abadan City is almost here, unless time and fuel are wasted by circling overhead. Otherwise, if you want to do something, you should act now.

After making up his mind, Lin began to assign tasks to everyone. The first task is to find a way to fix all the moving things in the airship. The second is the safety belt of the seat, regardless of comfort, it 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 kept, but the number was still far from enough. So under Lin's instructions, the complete snow wolf skins were torn into strips, tied into long strips, and used as ropes.

In the eyes of the knowledgeable Uzov Gantia, such behavior is out-and-out waste, but he dared not say anything more. Even after the magician gave clear instructions, no one in the group objected, but obeyed the instructions obediently.

For the two apprentices and the four silverbearded dwarves, they had long been used to not questioning someone. Anyway, when there is a need to explain, that one will naturally explain 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 the two parties is not on the same level.

The lich, who is a former devil king, would not question anything. Because that man seldom assigns work to her. Whenever she is asked to do something, it is a very troublesome thing that others can't do. It is impossible for her to do ordinary heavy work.

The black dragon Augustus also belongs to this level. Lin didn't want to offend this humanized dragon clan, nor did he think that asking a disabled old man to help with things would really help, and he would be lucky if he didn't want to hinder him.

The two goblins had already succumbed to the magician's despotic power. Ever since someone compiled the detailed anatomy of goblins from his past experience of slaughtering uncivilized goblins, and introduced them to Totocani and Polly one by one, when they saw this man again, their legs did not tremble. , is already commendable.

Maier doesn't want to continue to offend this magician~www.NovelMTL.com~ so if you can curry favor, you can curry favor. It's okay to commit yourself to bedtime, let alone some simple tasks. But Uzov Gantia didn't understand the magician's brain circuit no matter what. If you can't even raise a question, what else can you do but obey it obediently.

Therefore, the cabin of the airship was quickly disposed of according to someone's request. Everyone also returned to their seats, and after fixing themselves firmly, Lin and Totocani handed over the driver's seat.

When someone grabbed the rudder again, Abadan was only about twenty minutes away. Flip the second throttle back to the bottom and say, "Dual stop, coast. Start descending." Simultaneously pull the first throttle back to neutral.

Engine shutdown is to maintain the idle state, not to turn off the flame, which is to avoid the power of the engine when an emergency occurs. If the engine is turned off and it is only necessary to start it temporarily, it is easy to make mistakes in a tense state.

The Sid is currently at an altitude of 23,000 meters and a speed of 380 kilometers per hour. Both altitude and speed are decreasing.
