The military airships of the Haider Empire were modified from old airships. The hull layout maintains a semi-open sea-ship type, that is, the upper deck is an open platform through which the cabin can be entered.
The three masts are not equipped with sails, but three sets of spiral lift-off propellers, combined with magic, to provide the airship with buoyancy. The main modification is to install a set of propulsion propellers on the side of the hull, front, rear, left and right, to speed up the flight.
.
In the past, these four positions were used to place sails and use the wind to push the airship. Different from the situation at sea level, in the air, there is wind anyway. There will be no windless zone, so the ship cannot move.
But in light wind conditions, the speed of the airship is almost the same as floating. So it still depends on the weather.
After the addition of engines and propellers, the speed of the airships of the Haider Empire has increased a lot. It is no longer subject to changes in the natural environment as before. However, because the hull has not been significantly modified, the wind resistance layout is not ideal, so
It is difficult to increase the speed of these military airships to the extreme.
In the past, the open upper deck remained unchanged, and there would always be lookouts and guards on duty patrolling in strong winds at all times. But since the speed of the airship increased, the wind on the upper deck has become more serious, without the help of magic.

Only when the airship is in combat mode, the airship is no longer flying at full speed, or someone must stand guard, will the upper deck be occupied again.
If airships need to dock with each other, the safest way is to transfer the people to other airships after landing.
But the airship army of the Haider Empire is so troublesome. As long as there are not many people, they have been trained to perform aerial docking operations. The only requirement is that the speed must be slowed down to a certain extent.
After receiving news from the Twin Griffins that the commander of the airship was going to take the information about the target location and submit it directly to the flagship of the detachment, the adjutant in charge of commanding the formation was worried about how to coordinate this foreign aircraft.
Aircraft conduct aerial docking operations.
If this dangerous behavior is not carried out correctly, it is very likely that the docking personnel will fall directly from the air to the ground. Forget it if the person dies, what if the information is lost? As for landing docking, it will seriously delay the speed of the team.
Does it fit?
But the adjutant was still worried. The Twin Griffins had flexibly penetrated the airship formation of the Hydel Empire, got close to the flagship, and retreated at the first touch. The whole process was only watched by the control officer who relied on magic to monitor the formation flight of the outside world.
arrive.
However, due to military regulations, the control officer could not yell in the command room. By the time he confirmed the situation and wanted to report back, the Twin Griffins had already left the danger range and returned to the outer position.
After a while, someone reported that the commander of the Twin Griffins had boarded the ship and was on the upper deck, asking for permission to enter.
In response to this sudden report, everyone in the command room looked at each other. In the end, the nobleman who served as the captain came forward and said to the old general who was the commander in chief: "Your Excellency, let me go and have a look. I recognize the Twin Griffin."
Commander, if he comes in person, I will bring him in."
The old general thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The captain, who was also a noble, performed a standard imperial salute and exited the command room.
As the military airship of the Haider Empire, this is a standard aristocratic unit. People with no identity and no ability are not even qualified to serve on the airship.
If the entire airship is filled with people like this, then the interior decoration and design cannot be so shabby. At least compared to the Twin Griffins, where it is very difficult for two people to pass side by side, the Heidel Empire
The military airship is much more spacious.
[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.
Even on the airship, there are personal attendants. In addition to serving the upper-ranking nobles, these lower-ranking nobles also have the duty of protection, so the captain will take them to the door leading to the upper deck.
The trivial matters are naturally handled by the people below, and as the door to the open deck, it is naturally guarded by guards. Under the vigilance of everyone, the sealed hatch opened.
In an instant, a large amount of biting cold wind poured into the airship, and those who were slightly less protected were immediately shivering. As an experienced crew member of the airship, of course the captain had magic props for wind protection and warmth.
A thin layer of warm orange light rippled around him.
Outside the open hatch, two tall young men stood. They seemed to have no self-protection tools, but they were still not afraid of the strong wind and gave a military salute to everyone. However, one of them had an injury on his arm, so
This military salute seems a bit nondescript.
"Twin Gryphon Commander Ezio." "Marine Captain Noah Von Kram III." "Come and report."
The rank of the soldiers of the Hydel Empire can be easily identified by their clothing. So when they saw that the person behind the hatch was a high-ranking officer, Ezio and his wife announced their identities. After all, people like them
It's a bit embarrassing when no one knows you.
However, the captain who came here paid special attention to the commander of the airship Twin Griffin at the previous airship captain meeting. This is because of the background of the Twin Griffin, both the designer and the owner.
It is quite eye-catching. So of course this veteran nobleman with military status will pay special attention to it.
Seeing that the person coming was the one he remembered, the imperial nobleman returned the greeting and welcomed the person into the airship. He said, "Your Excellency, the General, is waiting in the command room. Please come with me."
There are not so many etiquette rules in the army. Ezio was not humble and walked towards the command room of the military airship under the leadership of the imperial captain.
Along the way, Ezio would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in the internal passages of a non-airship that were different from the Twin Griffins and were elegantly arranged, even a little aristocratic. But he didn't either.
Acting like the person behind you is really like a country bumpkin coming into town, turning his head and looking around.
You must know that Ezio does not have a noble status, he is just a wild child without a father and a mother. And the person behind him is a direct descendant of a serious nobleman of the Karlsruhe Empire. How can he be more miserable than himself, Ezio?
Ouguai said.
However, after the fellow traveler tried to reach out and pick out the glowing magic stone embedded in the wall, Ezio couldn't help it. He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said behind him: "Noah, be restrained. Don't tell me that.
You have never seen this kind of bright stone before."
"Hehe, boss, you are blind this time. This is not just a bright stone used for lighting. Under the control of the magician, in addition to instantly emitting strong light to temporarily blind the intruder, it can also emit colorful magical energy.
Danshu. Anyone who underestimates it will be in bad luck."
"Just guess." Ezio didn't believe it. This was also because when Noah was talking, the few Haider soldiers leading the way had no emotional fluctuations. If they weren't so good at pretending, it might as well have been Noah.
They guessed wrong, so they said nothing.
But the aristocratic child who was rejected was a little unhappy and said: "How can it be a wild guess? My grandfather told me about the layout here. I find it interesting. Everything is similar to what my grandfather told me.
It seems like nothing has changed in the past few decades.”
"Your grandfather served on this airship? Or did he come here to visit?" Ezio asked mindlessly without thinking much.
"No, my grandpa fought up there in the beginning. He had to go through a lot of hardships with a group of comrades in this passage to be deeply impressed. But he also took down Haider's airship and passed one by one. He's cute.
I'm exaggerating on that. Ah, it's not this ship, it should be the same type of ship. It could also be other models, after all, it was decades ago."
It's okay that there was no explanation. Once explained, under Ezio's observation, the few people leading the way had quite a mood swing. They even stopped and turned to look at Noah who was smiling carelessly.
This guy looks silly, but in fact the acidity in his words is off the charts. It all irritates the soldiers of the Haider Empire, who are as fragile as glass.
self-esteem.
Ezio couldn't help but cover his face and was speechless. He had forgotten the representative significance of the two backgrounds of the Karlsruhe Empire and the Heidel Empire. He also regretted that he was greedy for convenience and asked Noah, the sky knight, to take him to Heidel.
The flagship comes up.
While the people in front stopped and stared, Noah smiled maliciously and said, "Is there anything shameful inside? Do you want me to go back to the deck and wait?"
The noble captain turned away and said, "No, just follow along. As long as the devil is still there, we are comrades-in-arms, and there is nothing to keep secret." After that, he led the way.
Ezio glanced helplessly at his companion. Young Noah shrugged, looking helpless, as if he was not at fault.
In fact, he has different ideas from Noah, a young man from the Karlsruhe Empire who is full of tit-for-tat ideas. The aristocratic captain of the Haider Empire is not only older, but on the surface he is broader and has a deeper palace. He will use this
The attitude is also based on interests.
Ever since the Twin Griffins cooperated with the Sky Knights from the Karlsruhe Empire and conducted several beautiful airborne special operations, the Haider Empire also thought about expanding their trump card, the strength of the airship army.
As a part of strengthening air-to-ground combat, Sky Knight is a very attractive direction. And from a technical and tactical perspective, the various improvements and changes after adding Sky Knight are not difficult to achieve.
The only difficulty is that the Sky Knights, as an old enemy of the Haider Empire and the ace unit of the Karlsruhe Empire, cannot recruit people even if they want to recruit people for these airship legions with official status.
There are still many people building airships outside the Heider Empire. However, Sky Knights are really not produced outside the Karlsruhe Empire. Occasionally, it is seen among the people, and it is only the children of nobles who go out to experience.
There is no such thing as an empty knight with no identity or background.
And these young people with the inheritance of Sky Knight combat skills would rather stay on the ground as infantry than use the airships of the Haider Empire as airborne troops. This stubborn character also left many veterans speechless.
