The scope of airship activities is very large, but the circle is very small. Especially after the rise of forums, a small number of airship manufacturers and operators can get together across the power network, brag, compare, and live a happy life.
little days.
In this atmosphere, people in this small circle know exactly which airship can fly, how fast, how high, what kind of monster it has fought, and what kind of bird it has chased. There is no need to steal information.
Everyone blew it by themselves and everything leaked out.
Finally, everyone still has the brains. The detailed parameters will not be known to outsiders, and the detailed design and key technologies of the airship are also kept secret. Besides, since it is just a boast, there will of course be exaggerations and falsehoods.
In other words, there are exaggerated data about airships on the forum, and there are also data that are concealed for confidentiality. So for the listeners, how to distinguish the truth from the false and judge the quality of an airship?
True strength is a considerable amount of knowledge.
But there are still some generally recognized indicators that are recognized by everyone. The name of the strongest airship must be the ace airship legion of the Haider Empire. I don’t specify which one, after all, although the technology of airships is not
The world is changing rapidly; but every time a new ship is built, there are more or less technical improvements. Based on the number of constructions in the empire, it can be regarded as the fastest accumulation of technology.
However, all new technologies need to be verified. It does not mean that something new is invented, it must be practical and good. If you take a detour and end up in a dead end, it will be proven that it is the wrong technology, and you will be confused. Even if
In this way, the Haider Empire can still stand out among the others in the field of airships. Before a certain time-travel alien appeared...
The fastest airship recognized is the Sid, owned by father and daughter Totokani Afstein and Polly Afstein. The Sid can travel one-sixth the distance of other airships.
The race can be completed in one to one-seventh of the time, which is an incredible speed. This is a fact that has been witnessed and certified by many people, and there is no need for the owner of the boat to brag about it.
However, there is only one, and it is a small airship according to the regulations. It is unarmed. In addition, the owner of the goblin boat claims that dismantling the Sid without authorization will cause a big explosion. The "reputation" of the goblin products comes first, and most people are not satisfied with the owner of the boat.
The claims are dubious.
At the beginning of this year, the reform of the Gauss Bertone entered the attention of this small circle. The reason is very simple. The leading reformer is the magician who renovated the Sid, Guybrash Tripwood.
Juan Javier has not changed his slutty personality, and of course there is a lot of praise in this small circle. It is as if the Gauss Bertone can crush the Hilde in every aspect. Whether it is speed, tonnage, or crew.
In terms of quantity, and even the strength of the force, the Gaussbertong was designed as a military boat. Of course, all indicators can overwhelm the Hilde.
In fact, what Juan said is true. But in the small circle of airships, there are too many people who brag. Occasionally, there are people who tell the truth, but they may not be believed by everyone. Unless someone takes it
If there is real evidence and enough people authenticate it, otherwise everyone in this circle will assume that they are just blowing it.
As for why everyone is so keen on bragging?
Answer: Of course it’s for people outside the circle!
People who regard airships as a force deterrent will naturally find ways to make their fists bigger to make themselves appear more threatening.
Next, there are those who do business based on airships. Of course, they must brag about the performance of the airship to make people who don't own an airship feel that it is worth the money and willingly pay to rent it. For example, the speed of the Sid,
It's an excellent advertisement to solicit business.
The third type is those who build airships. Of course, they must try their best to tell others that what they build is great! Others cannot compare to it!
As long as a fool entrusts him to build a new airship, not only can he take the opportunity to verify the new technology, but of course he will receive a large reward. I am not happy because I will pay for the materials. You just play around with it.
Why should you ask for wages from me? 'Such words.
The makers of airships are already considered high-level technical workers, not to mention that these people are more or less magicians or magic apprentices. It is impossible for them to contribute their knowledge and skills without sufficient funds.
Violence forces each other... let's see who is violent in the end.
In this environment, the Goblin Totokani, the owner of the Sid, who is recognized as the fastest boat, is in a very difficult situation. His way of making money is very narrow, and the only way to make money is the second one, which is to rely on the speed of the Sid to give away or send people away.
Just goods.
If outsiders wanted to commission him to build an airship, he would only be able to build an airship. Think of the bird-like appearance of the Hindenburg before the modification of the Sid, a standard goblin product. If someone really commissioned him to build it, he would probably get the final reward.
Without it, it would be considered a great blessing among misfortunes, and it is possible to be directly crushed by the employer. Regarding this kind of self-knowledge, Totokani still has some.
Therefore, Totokani could only tearfully refuse the request to build a new boat. Therefore, the name of the real reformer of the Sid will be known to outsiders. Otherwise, with the nature of the goblin, how could he not
To cover up news that is detrimental to one's own reputation.
But the goblin's dissatisfaction with the magician was a semi-open secret. Totokani used the words "evil" and "despicable villain" more than once to describe the magician. Especially the one passed down from his family.
I am particularly dissatisfied with the fact that the airship was modified without authorization and used as my own.
It is said that the goblin's airship was killed in the snowy mountains. The magician took out all the precious magic materials in his personal belongings and combined them with the remaining parts of the crashed airship to create the Sid. Then he left the snowy mountains.
.
There are different opinions as to which statement is true. The magician never came forward to clarify. The goblin also had one theory, which was confusing, and he was just trying his best to vent his dissatisfaction.
However, as we all know, the goblins' words must be taken at a discount. They are a tribe full of nonsense and lies. If you believe the goblins, you will not be far from death.
But even if all the belongings of a magician are contributed, what proportion can they account for in an airship? This question is also the view held by those who are more inclined to goblin speech. They think that only those little things of value can
, it is really too much to invade someone else's airship.
So strictly speaking, even if Goblin Totokani complained or even uttered evil words when he met others, it did not bring him a reputation of being ungrateful. On the contrary, there were also many people who supported him and sympathized with him.
Coupled with the advantages of the Sid, his business can be said to be quite good, with no days to rest. Even if the cabin is empty, it is because of the invitation of distinguished guests.
After all, he is not a businessman, he is just an airship owner. On Earth, he is almost at the level of a truck driver. Without familiarity with prices in various places, it is not easy to grasp this opportunity to make money along the way, and there are even
There was a possibility of losing money. So after making a few jokes, Totokani stopped deliberately pursuing the matter of keeping the Sid empty.
This time, the goblin Totokani was flying empty again. His daughter Polly was busy behind. The engine built by the magician was not only vibrating violently, but also spouting black smoke.
In fact, according to that person's request, the lubricating oil in the engine must be changed regularly to maintain lubrication. But how can a stingy goblin possibly comply with this requirement? If something is not used until it breaks, it means it can still be used. Maintenance? Doesn't exist.
.
This is also due to the fact that when Lin was building the engine in the wild, he used all the magic materials he carried with him, and used them beyond the specifications. The materials used in the custom-made car engines now built by the car center are not so gorgeous.
The Sid's engine one and two.
This is why, despite insufficient lubrication, the two engines are still running strongly. It is because the basic materials are too good. Even so, the problem of reduced horsepower cannot be avoided. At the same time, the engines also have some minor problems.
, air leakage and black smoke are some of them.
And Totokani was flying to the White Fox Castle of the Risa family. Because the Grand Duke entrusted him with transporting a treasure to be paid as tribute to the emperor.
In addition to being timely, flying airships in the air are much better than traveling on land in terms of safety. The speed of the Sid can release most flying monsters at sea;
The threats are so numerous that even a grand duke cannot ignore them.
Therefore, Totokani has no doubts about this commission. At least the five times the remuneration offered by the Grand Duke of Risa is genuine Jin Kein. Although it has not been obtained yet, there is no need to doubt the credibility of the Grand Duke, nor can it be tolerated.
Suspect.
Yes, this money-grubbing goblin also immediately exchanged all his property into the coins of the goddess of gold coins. And he is not like others, the money is just to go to the goddess's kingdom to live, Totoka
Nico deposited quite a bit of money into his bank account.
The most important thing is that he has no fixed address and all his belongings are on the airship. If the cargo is not bad, when transporting guests, he will always keep an eye on those who look like thieves. When they get close to his money
When someone is near a box, Totokani always wants to throw people out of the air!
So Totokani's favorite job is simply delivering goods. Unfortunately, no one believes in his noble character, so he always sends people to follow the goods and use his airship's seat.
This time, the commission from the Grand Duke Rizal was in a similar situation. But what surprised the goblins was that the Grand Duke agreed not to send any personnel to follow the ship. He only needed to deliver the goods to the Rizal family residence in the Imperial City of Nineveh.
Just be the deacon.
The reason why they were so anxious and agreed to the goblin's conditions was because the value of this goods was quite high, and it was sent to the imperial city as tribute to the emperor, asking the emperor to mediate the misunderstanding between the Risa family and the Kawi family.
Of course, Totokani is not the kind of homebody who is indifferent to foreign affairs. He is also very concerned about current affairs. He did not explain everything about the trivial matter between the two grand dukes, but he also understood about seventy-eight points.
It's just that Duke Risa killed Duke Kawei's young son and his wife, and then somehow he found out about it. Even if no definite evidence was disclosed, Duke Kawei still held high the blood flag and shouted for revenge. No evidence was needed.
, to start a war just based on what I think, the arrogance of the nobles is evident.
But this isn't a formal fight yet. Both sides are still holding back their strength and preparing for war. It's because of this that Goblin Totokani dared to go this way.
If the emperor succeeds in mediating in the end, Totokani will have one more bargaining chip in the future, a heavyweight bargaining chip that can win people's trust. He is a stakeholder in the peace between the two grand dukes.
