If you dare to show off your skills, you won't be afraid of others learning from them. Lin's attitude is the real reason why others are willing to cooperate with him for a long time.
As long as I can watch from the side, I can take the time to ask a few questions when I have the opportunity. Not to mention the mathematics that no one really understands, not to mention the automobile manufacturing with infinite prospects. The name of the airship Sid, these contacts are the latest
How could technical people have never heard of it? They even mentioned it to someone in private, but Lin never let go.
Now, thanks to his friends coming forward, everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with this area. There is no reason to extrapolate.
But it was at this time that everyone realized that the magician in front of them who everyone looked up to also came from the wilderness. Even many new things in recent years also emerged from that wilderness...
Thinking carefully about the scary things, they were quickly forgotten by everyone. Since he made his fortune in the Holy City, achieved the reputation of a master of mathematics in the Holy City, and obtained the honor of a great magician in the Holy City, then he is a person from the Holy City.
The past is not important. The most important thing at hand is of course that airship.
But no matter how enthusiastic everyone is, there are only two people who really have the decision-making power on the Gauss Bertone. Juan Javier, the captain of the airship, also made a decision on the Gauss Bertone far away from the Southwest Leon District Chapter.
No. is the person who has the power to act expediently. The other one is of course the great magician Guy Blasch Tripwood, the main designer.
It's okay for others to watch from the sidelines; it's okay to ask most questions. As long as it starts with 'I have a question...' instead of 'Isn't this right?'
For the former, Lin will give a complete or partial answer depending on the situation; for the latter, someone will directly say: "Please leave if you feel it's wrong. My design is not worthy of your ideas." The meaning of this sentence is almost a slap in the face.
Said: Your level is too low to keep up with my skills. So get out of here!
However, the person who was being scolded did not dare to be really angry, because the other party had the performance of the Sid in front of him. For a pragmatic magician, having works that prove his strength is more important than anything else. Unless there is other evidence to prove that,
De Hao is not the work of the person in front of him, or his subsequent works are all failures, destroying the reputation he has established before.
Back to Juan Javier and Lin. The airship captain finally decided to upgrade the existing Gauss Bertone. Even with the funds he has available now, it is not a problem to build another airship.
Maybe it's not a top-notch one, but as Lin can describe it, it's a real next-generation airship, not a modified semi-finished product like the Sid.
However, building a new ship faces an unavoidable problem: future maintenance costs!
A stingy traveler, in line with the principle of saving what he can and using it when he is using it, will certainly not forget the maintenance costs that will occur in the future when calculating costs. This is also the part that Juan ignored at the beginning.
.
In the modern world, "car maintenance" is not an unfamiliar word to most people. And an inorganic car also needs to use the word "maintenance". You can imagine that the daily cost is definitely not light. Even if you don't go there
After making unnecessary modifications and upgrades, if the car wants to move, it cannot be bypassed by refueling, let alone regular maintenance.
The situation is similar for airships, with Gaussbottom being particularly important.
The construction of the Gauss Bertone was completed 313 years ago. This is an unimaginable force of magicians in the southwest, which is considered a "barbaric" area. Therefore, from the completion of the construction to the present, although it has participated in many wars
, but they didn't suffer much damage. Basically, they are the kind of armed forces that can make a final decision as soon as they appear.
There was no serious damage, and it was the only one. In addition, the southwest was remote, and there were no colleagues to discuss and learn from each other. Therefore, the Gauss Bertone basically maintained the appearance it had when it was built more than 300 years ago, without any experience.
What kind of modification? The generations of magicians who served on the airship just guarded this old ship and learned how to maintain it. They never thought about changing it.
However, it is the fault of the wilderness area. Even more than 300 years ago, the design of the Gauss Bertong was quite old. But even if it is an old style, it is still used by people in the traditional cultural circle in the center of the land. Yes.
Imagine how slow the speed of technology replacement in Midland is for a time traveler accustomed to Moore's Law.
The biggest difference between Gauss Bertone and the airship technology developed later is that there is no air bag. Midi did not discover hydrogen or helium, but found a special gas found in magic experiments. Its characteristics are heating and cooling.
Extremely fast, and the higher the temperature, the stronger the buoyancy, even breaking through the height limit of traditional airships.
This gas is not characteristic of any earth gas that Lin knows. It is used in the airbag of the airship, of course, to provide buoyancy for the airship to fly. Before there were airbags, the buoyancy of the airship came from magic, and it must be
It consumes power, and it's a lot of power. Even if the air bag cannot completely replace the function of floating magic, it can reduce the consumption of power, thereby increasing the time of floating.
However, the airbag is also a very obvious weakness, so the new airships in modern times and airships used for military purposes still maintain designs that do not use airbags.
The traditional ship design of the Gauss Bertone, although many modern airships are still in use, the disadvantage of this design is that it cannot be anchored on the ground, and can only choose to be anchored on the water, or moored. Moored state
That is, the airship is only fixed to the ground by one or several cables, and the hull basically remains in the air. In short, it continues to consume power.
I won’t go into detail about the internal design and magic array of the Gaussian Bertone. In the eyes of Lin, a modern person on earth who values efficiency and energy conservation, this airship is a disaster.
To use the terminology of mobile phone advertisements on Earth, the standby time is short, the talk time is short, and the charging time is long. Moreover, the functions are not very complete, and the appearance is not that good. It is simply a brick in the mobile phone industry. But there will be no one.
I want to take it out with me and use it to make phone calls. Its best use is to hold down newspapers that will be blown away by the wind.
No matter how proud the magicians who were chosen to be the crew of the Gosbottom are, Lin probably has a higher opinion of this airship than the Hindenburg built by the predecessor of the Sid, the goblin Totokani.
Just a few. I mean I haven’t been on many airships.
According to calculations, after the transformation led by Lin, it is conservatively estimated that the endurance of the Gauss Bertone can be increased three times, the cruising range increased to fifteen times, and the conventional energy consumption reduced to one-ninth of the original. The annual savings
If all the expenses are saved, the cost of saving for eleven or twelve years will be the price of a new airship.
Looking at such data estimates, Juan Javier has no reason to oppose such a transformation plan.
