Following Juan's line of sight, Lin also looked at his feet. Special magic spells were printed on the soles of his feet, forming a clearly visible magic array. It was this magic array that changed his own response to gravity.
Awareness of direction, and the ability to stand firmly on the plane in contact with the soles of the feet.
Lin replied: "Yes, it is the technique of walking on flat ground."
"Do you think it is possible to reverse this and add this magic to an object so that all people standing on it can stand stably?"
"Using the Earth-walking Technique to replace the gravity device. What an interesting idea." Lin rubbed his chin while thinking.
The reason why many hard science fiction works are still classified as "fantasy" and cannot rise to the level of "science" is because they always propose technologies that cannot be proven to be achievable even if they are scientific theories. One of them
It’s the gravity device. This includes two major science fiction works by Magnesia: Star_War and Star_Trek, both of which have the same problem.
Life in a spaceship is supposed to be gravity-free, and everyone's actions are mainly about floating. However, in many science fiction works describing space navigation, humans in the spaceship can walk and move normally, as if they
Still immersed in the earth's environment.
If there is an object with a mass of 59,722 gigatons, approximately equal to the mass of the Earth, directly underneath the spacecraft, and the volume is not too small to form a singularity, then it is possible to provide information related to the Earth.
The considerable gravitational environment allows people living on it to live normally as on the earth... Whose spaceship takes an earth ball with it when it goes out?
Some people say that centrifugal force can be used to simulate a 1G gravity environment. This scientific theory is correct, and it is technically feasible. But look at the forms of spaceships in those works, which one looks like it can use centrifugal force to create a 1G gravity environment?
?
But Lin Ke never thought that this eternal problem in the world of magic could be so easy to solve. He could just use the Walking on Flat Earth spell and it would be over.
Speaking of this magic, it has a certain degree of "idealism". It changes people's understanding of the direction of gravity, and they believe that as long as they step on it, it is the ground they can stand on. As for why it can cause such an effect, for someone
The words are still incomprehensible.
When Lin cast this magic, he only used its most basic form, which was the version provided by the Magicians Association, and could not make other modifications. The main reason was because he did not understand it, so he could not change it.
Although the "Treading on Flat Earth" technique is applied to a 'person' or 'object' to change its cognition, thereby obtaining its effect. But in turn, it is applied to an 'object' so that the cognition of the person in contact is passively changed.
, and then obtain the same effect. This approach is very difficult in the field of magic, but it is not completely impossible. It just requires some research.
However, just solving the problem of the direction of gravity does not mean that the airship can make waves. Another big challenge is G force. In those hard science fiction works, there are so-called inertial dampers to minimize the influence of G force.
However, magic has no good solution in this regard. At most, it can strengthen people's physique so that they can adapt to higher and longer accelerations. But this is not a fundamental solution after all, it is just a headache.
Treating head and foot pain is just a symptom of treating foot pain.
But just like their own understanding of magic is still based on the scientific knowledge accumulated in the first half of their lives, the natives of Midland have no baggage of those science fiction works in their own minds. In addition, Juan himself is a visionary.
A great magician with extensive knowledge, Juan came up with many solutions that Lin had never thought of in response to the problems that arose during the trial of the airship Gaussbottom.
The two old friends just entered into a very serious discussion about magic and the improvement ideas of Gauss Bertone. Others on the bridge also recovered from the original chaos and left their seats one after another, or
He loosened his too-tight seat belt and began to check various data in his area of responsibility. These were all tasks assigned before the trial voyage.
The second officer who was staying on the bridge at the same time, after a brief exchange with the other deputy captains, inspected various cabins of the airship. Although the reports from the copper pipes revealed the recovery status of various places after the chaos
Good. But the actual situation needs to be confirmed with your own eyes to have the most direct understanding.
First he was teleported away from his original position, and then he was pushed to the ground by two apprentices. After a heavy fall, the helmsman Oliver also recovered his original situation and returned to the helmsman's position. Only this time
, he just checked the condition of the rudder and did not dare to make another extreme operation casually.
Oliver knew very well how much influence his ugly appearance had in the chaos just now. If this account was brought out and discussed on the table, I am afraid that this well-paid position would be far away from him. So now
He prioritizes stability and is afraid of making any mistakes again. Several accounts will be jointly settled by others.
As long as people are afraid of something, something will happen easily. People who thought everything was back on track, except for Oliver who was worried, were suddenly frightened by the violent shaking of the airship. Everyone instinctively grasped
Some people even quickly secured themselves with seat belts.
Just after a period of violent shaking, the entire ship made a rumble and shook slightly. Everyone felt puzzled.
"The airship was damaged, the second engine on the right was shut down, and the right hull suffered extensive damage." The magician in charge of the airship's defense system yelled.
Lin first said in surprise: "How is it possible? At an altitude of more than 9,000 meters, what kind of monster would attack others at such a height? Not to mention other airships. This height cannot be reached, but it is common sense for most people.
.Is it possible that we hit a rock in the air?"
Only then did everyone realize what had just happened. The engine of the Gauss Bertone was installed inside the airship, and then connected through the crankshaft to pull the propeller set outside to generate thrust. This was for maintenance at high altitude.
Convenience considerations. After all, the buoyancy of the airship is not provided by the propeller engine. If a shutdown accident occurs in the air, repair work can be carried out directly.
But even if the engine is installed inside the airship, it is very close to the outer wall of the hull. This means that damage sufficient to cause damage to the hull may directly damage the engine and cause shutdown.
But just as someone suspected, the altitude of more than 9,000 meters is basically a forbidden area for living things. No birds move at such a height, because there are no prey at such a height, providing them with the food sources they need to survive.
In this case, what kind of attack did the airship encounter that caused such damage?
Lin flashed forward and came to the lookout officer's seat where he was monitoring the outside of the airship. He switched screens neatly and checked every corner outside the airship.
