Magic Tower Starry Sky

After repeatedly confirming that everything was ready, Lin made some changes to Finn's control program of the airship, because the next thing to do was an unconventional tactical maneuver.

When the airship descended to an altitude of 9,000 meters, it no longer continued to descend, but its speed was still about 350 kilometers per hour. At this speed, letting the Sid land directly will only result in a crash.

So Lin pulled the rudder back abruptly, and the nose of the aircraft lifted quickly. Everyone sitting in it felt like they were being slammed behind their heads, and the elevation angle was as high as 110 degrees in the end. Although there is no similar experience, everyone has the same feeling, maybe sitting on the trebuchet and being thrown out, that's the feeling.

Under the action of inertia, and without any other external force intervening, the Sid stood upright and flew forward with its belly. This is the classic flight maneuver of the Earth fighter, the Pugachev Cobra maneuver.

If you want to reduce the speed of the aircraft suddenly, what is more efficient than using the largest part of the aircraft to increase the wind resistance.

What's more, on the earth, some fighter jets cannot do such actions because they are afraid that the plane will stall and then fall. This trouble is not a problem for the Sid, because the buoyancy source of this airship is different from that of the earth's aircraft, and it is not afraid of stalling and falling at all.

In a sitting position, you are actually lying down, moving towards your buttocks. This kind of weird experience is something no one has ever had. In fact, there have been countless firsts ever since I got into this airship. So although it feels weird, everyone has been trained to be familiar with it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone maintained their strange postures and waited with bated breath. During this period, only Kaya reported once every ten kilometers per hour when the speed dropped, and this period of time seemed as long as a lifetime. But when the data of 20 kilometers per hour was reported, there was no movement for a long time.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Lin, who can directly see the dashboard data, has the most intuitive feeling for the speed drop. When the hull is upright, the speed drops sharply after the wind resistance area increases. But the lower the speed, the slower the deceleration. It stopped falling until it maintained a speed of 17 kilometers per hour, and this was also the wind speed outside.

It seems unlikely that expectations will drop to zero. Lin tried to restore the attitude of level flight, but no matter how much the rudder was turned, the hull did not respond, and even the elevation angle increased, and it seemed that it was about to turn backwards.

It wasn't until someone pushed the throttle forward a notch, and the Sid regained some power, that it recovered smoothly, returned to the hull, and resumed level flight. Lin then pulled back the throttle valve to keep the engine idling and move forward slowly. At the same time, it adjusted its direction and flew straight towards Abadan City. This action further reduced the speed of the airship to a speed of just over ten kilometers per hour.

Such a situation is actually not difficult to understand, because the direction facing Abadan is not downwind, and the forward power can only be obtained by the blades driven by the engine at idle speed, so the speed will not increase but decrease. At the same time, the journey that was originally only two minutes away has also been stretched to nearly an hour. This is because the velocity drops too low.

Pull back the first throttle valve again, lowering the altitude of Sid to the altitude range that ordinary airships can fly, which is about 800 to 7,000 meters. Lin chose to sail steadily at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and everyone also let go of their seats and got up and moved casually. Totocani stepped forward and asked: "Do you want to increase the speed? It seems a bit of a waste of time to float past like this."

After fixing the rudder, Lin smiled and said, "No, slowing down is too troublesome. If you speed up now, you will have to worry about slowing down again when you arrive at Abadan. With the current speed, just find a place and land directly. It will take an hour. fine."

Totokani shrugged noncommittally. For him, what should have been a journey of two to three days was shortened to about two hours, which is an incredible speed. It's not a big deal to wait that long for an hour. That is to say, looking at the speed that is no different from floating now, I just asked a lot.

Now that he has made up his mind to float over, there is no trouble in the next step, it just takes some time. And during this extra time, Lin asked everyone to check the status of the airship again. See if Cobra's maneuvering flight action has left any damage to the airship. It is not without reason that only some fighter jets on the earth can do such actions.

In addition, it is to summarize the problems found in this flight and consider the deceleration device. Installing a gearbox for the engine to realize the possibility of reversing is one of them; another thing Lin thought of was the speed parachute that some fighter jets on the earth would use with short runways. Another major project is to integrate thrust and buoyancy equipment to achieve a more flexible maneuvering method.

On the current Sid, level flight is level flight, and elevation is elevation, and the control of the two is separated. As a result, many tactical flight maneuvers cannot be used. Such as the immelman roundabout, the barrel roll and so on. love book

Although the Sid is positioned for civilian use, it is not a military fighter that requires dogfighting performance. But after being chased by Thunder Falcon once, who knows if he will be able to escape from the weird skills of the monster next time just by relying on speed. If there is no plan to install additional weapons and equipment for the Sid, then the method of escape must be perfected as much as possible.

But for the time being, we can only make plans, and the required materials need to be purchased separately.

Before repairing the Sid in the Jura Mountains, almost all the magic materials that someone brought with him were consumed. There are some parts in it that don't even need to be of such a good grade, but there are no other alternative materials around. In order to survive, I don't care whether to waste it or not. What can be left is only a very small number of rare materials.

During the period when the Sid was drifting towards Abadan City, the group also saw many airships flying past the Sid. An airship with an ordinary ship-shaped structure, saw the strange-looking Sid, and a group of sailors were pointing on the deck. Even if you can't hear the sound, you can still feel their banter from your body movements and expressions.

Just watching a group of people walk away with mocking expressions, Lin and the others surprisingly did not have any unpleasant reactions. That kind of feeling is like the loneliness of a master, so why bother to care about a low-handed one. Even Thunder Falcon's pursuit can be thrown until the taillights of the car can't be seen. It's really meaningless to care about speed with other people.

In the discussion of modifying the flaws of the Sid, the figure of a city rose from the other side of the horizon. It's not huge, but its sky is quite busy. All kinds of airships float in the air around the city, like a fair. It is far more lively than Waikato on the other side of the Jura Mountains, the town that the group set off before.

If we want to talk about its characteristics, it is that the city is quite vibrant under the background of every airship that comes in and out. And because the time when someone arrived in Abadan was only close to noon, many airships were just taking off and were about to leave. The number of airships preparing to leave is also greater than the number of arrivals.

Also because there are quite a lot of airships coming and going, the sky of Abadan is in a state of chaos and order. There is no waterway, no tower to issue orders, everyone comes and goes as they want, and in this chaos, there is no airship colliding with each other.

For the cross-travelers who are accustomed to accepting the command of traffic lights, this kind of traffic rules that rely on mood and tacit understanding cannot adapt to it. So Lin got up from the driver's seat and gave way to Totocani. For free-flowing fellowship, it is better to leave it to experienced people.

The goblin lived up to expectations, and found a berth in a seemingly chaotic scene without any guidance. The Sid, which lowered its landing gear, also stopped firmly at this berth. Although the goblin's method of landing was a bit rough, it finally landed safely and no one was injured.

After landing safely, a group of people planned to leave the airship and enter the city. Only the goblin father and daughter were in a hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything. A certain time traveler had also traveled abroad by plane on Earth, so he stopped everyone before asking about Totocani. "Is there any procedure we should do next?"

"Your Excellency, we should open the hatch and stay in the airship, waiting for the administrator to collect the tax. We can enter the city only after the tax is collected." The goblin said in a panic.

Well, it should be said that it is not surprising at all~www.NovelMTL.com~ In line with the principle of following the customs when entering the country, Lin did not intend to do whatever he wanted, but asked everyone to stay in the airship and wait. At the same time, Kaya was asked to fetch a few bags of money first, including large bags, small bags, and change, depending on the situation, which bag to take out to collect coins and pay taxes. This is also to avoid opening the cash box, which is too eye-catching. This is the self-protection method of the little people, a certain unconscious man thought so.

At the same time, Totocani also asked his daughter Polly to find out the compass of Abadan City. Although the thing is broken, as long as the handwriting on it is still legible, it can be used as evidence.

But what someone thinks is the point is that it didn't take long for the administrator in charge of tax collection to board the Sid. I remember that when we descended, Lin Ke had confirmed the landing location, which was quite a distance from the management hut mentioned by the goblin. They can appear so quickly, it can only be said that those responsible for collecting taxes are really very active.

Only two people appeared, one standing outside the hatch. Another fat human with a slightly rich appearance walked in with a big belly. He saw the goblin who was coming forward at a glance, and said, "Oh, it's you, Totocani. What about your original airship, why did you change it to the current Sid?"

"Master Hassan, these things are a long story." The goblin rubbed his hands wretchedly and said.
