Of all the groups, the one with the most complicated work is of course the repair group of the airship body. Although this level of repair, in the eyes of others, it is no different from a re-production.
The first thing to be completed is the main structure of the airship, which is the shuttle-shaped hull part. The reason why we rush to complete this part is because there are no docks or worker dormitories on site. The hull is completed as soon as possible, and it is still possible.
It can be used as a place for rest and work.
Basically, as long as the work does not occupy a large area or requires ventilation, it will be carried out inside the ship. After all, it is too cold outside. Even if you are wrapped in a layer of snow wolf fur, the biting wind will still get through the gaps in your clothes.
When you come in, you will be shivering with cold.
Although the original airship pod that crashed has been repaired and modified, some bulkheads are still damaged. It will have to wait for Riley to make suitable wooden boards before it can be completely closed. However, the extra wolf skin was temporarily used to cover it.
It's not a big problem either.
Lin even took out the magic metal of water-patterned copper from the materials he carried, and applied a film to the inside of the ship. Using this metal film, Fen carved the magic circle all over the ship.
In addition to blocking the intrusion of wind and snow, it also has the function of heating the cabin. In fact, this magical metal film plays a big role in Lin's design, although it has a very experimental nature. But we have to wait for the follow-up
Only when the work is completed can we coordinate with the arrangements.
The part that needs more attention is the ship-shaped cabin on one side of the original pod. Due to the fall, part of the keel was damaged. According to other people's suggestions, the damaged part but the keel has not been broken is used as a
The reason for the fusiform hull's upper half is that the weight is borne by the lower half.
However, this opinion was not adopted by Lin. Because in his design, the entire fusiform hull will withstand the wind pressure brought by high speed, and no part can use such substandard and almost damaged parts. In addition,
Lin's design was different from the conventional anti-gravity device requirements of the lost land, so the keel that was about to be damaged was reinforced with the secret iron collected by someone.
The processing characteristics of secret iron are very similar to that of rippled copper. The rippled copper can be transformed into very thin sheets using magic shaping techniques, and can be wrapped around any object to form an outer film.
It is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to make use of the characteristics of water-patterned copper to make good weapons and equipment. Most of them are magicians who are interested in art and use them to make floating plate carvings. Therefore, water-patterned copper belongs to magicians.
In the market, the unit price is not high, but it is also a very rare material. Because there is no market, no one will mine it in large quantities.
But with such a characteristic, ordinary materials can be covered with a layer of film, and then a magic circle can be carved to form a magic circuit. This kind of use has actually been discovered a long time ago, but all previous weapons and equipment were of the melee type, and
The water-patterned copper film has no defensive power at all, especially if it is thinner, it is easier to damage.
But someone uses it in areas that are not directly against the enemy, such as the magic tower in the past or the airship now.
The characteristics of secret iron are also very similar. They require a basic material and then adhere to it. Secret iron can be transformed into a liquid form by the shaping spell and penetrate into the pores of other materials. Even high-level magicians can make it
Secret iron becomes like water, 'wetting' other materials.
But this is not the same as the so-called alloy on Earth. One is one, and two is two. The same object has two properties and can be used for two purposes. Therefore, for most magicians in the Lost Land, secret iron
It is a difficult material to work with.
But at the moment, secret iron can be used as a material to strengthen the keel, and allow the keel to be attached with magic and carve magic circles. Ordinary materials cannot be messed up like this. Ordinary materials that cannot carry magical power will be affected by the power.
erosion and decay.
The joint between the upper and lower halves of the fusiform hull is made of magic material embedded in the edge of the original hull, and then the upper and lower halves are fastened together. This is done so carefully because the wings, stern rudder and prepared external
The engine joint point is to be arranged along the horizontal central axis of the fusiform hull. Ordinary materials cannot achieve the required strength of the complex structure designed by Lin.
The main structure was completed, and then Lin did a second small division of labor. Marit and Freya, two female silver-bearded dwarves, were responsible for making the wings and stern rudder, using "even a fool can understand"
There is no difficulty in this part of the exploded view of three-dimensional solid imaging, as long as you follow the table.
As for the source of materials, the airfoil part is the remaining airbag fabric of the original airship; the frame part is the magic metal with relatively good rigidity, light tile steel, among the magic materials of the original airship.
Ware steel, which has a similar name, is characterized by its hardness and heavy weight; incline ware steel is hard, light and tough. Of course, its value is also relatively high, so there were only a few goblin cannons on the original airship.
Such magic materials were used in key parts. Therefore, during the repair process, the amount of light varnish steel that could be used was quite small. Moreover, before the cannon could be dismantled, Totokani had to fight to the death to block it.
In the end, Lin used it for the skeleton part of the 'wing'. As long as Marit and Freya did not waste it during the production process, it would be just enough for the wings and stern rudder designed by Lin.
Lin, Jermaine and the Goblin father and daughter started making the engine.
Although someone has touched the earth's engine, there is a huge difference between being able to repair it, or watching others repair it, and building one yourself. Especially the locomotive engine that someone has touched is a single-cylinder, and the car engine is also
I have only touched the V-shaped six-cylinder. As for the radial engine, I have only seen the schematic diagram and never touched the real thing.
To this end, Lin used a lot of calculations and simulations, and actually built and tested the effects of the actual engine. Only then did he finally finalize the design of the engine. During the process, Marit, who was originally interested in getting involved,
After hanging up the two engines, I impatiently returned to the work on the ship's wings.
In fact, this was expected by someone. Compared with other silver-bearded dwarf men, Marit has skills and strength, but she has no patience and the courage to face setbacks. The end of the ship's wing production can be seen.
It requires meticulous work. But for an engine that has never been built before, it is necessary to find a way forward amidst constant failures. Jermaine can do this, and so can Goblin Totokani.
Fortunately, there are races like dwarves present who are very familiar with metals, and magic materials can be shaped and changed by magic at will. This way, materials can be recycled and then remade despite constant failures.
Moreover, making engines in Midi is not like on Earth, where there is a major difficulty that needs to be overcome: materials. Material science on Earth has no meaning in Midi.
This is because there are very few craftsmen in Midland, or even no habit of using 'alloys'. After all, the types of magic materials are too complicated. If one material does not pass the standard, you can always find another that meets the standards and can pass the test.
Secondly, the alloys of the earth, no matter what kind of smelting process is used, different metals are still different metals. From the perspective of molecular structure, different metals are distinct from each other.
But magic materials are different. After Lin obtained microscopic observation methods, he also analyzed the magic materials. The so-called magic materials combine a variety of materials at the molecular level that are impossible to combine based on geochemical knowledge.
Heavy metal atoms form a stable molecular structure, and it must be a complex polyhedral type.
Lin had some guesses as to how these heavy metal atoms broke through the limitations of valence electrons, reacted with each other, and combined together. And it seemed that the answer was obvious, that is, magical power. Power filled the molecular chain,
These atoms that cannot be synthesized are connected together, and this should be the reason why they are called magic materials and have special properties.
Lin once thought that since he could observe the molecular formula of magic materials and knew that power was used to catalyze their reactions, would it be possible for him to mass-produce certain expensive and rare materials?
But this idea just comes to mind after I think about it. Not to mention that on Earth, pursuing the alchemy of turning stone into gold is still a joke among people drinking and having fun in modern times. In the Lost Land, even if it is really possible, then
I'm afraid it's not a way to attract money, but a way to attract jealousy and death. And it's conceivable that what you will face this time will be a national-level greedy beast, and an endless pursuit.
In addition, the biggest use of magic materials in the Lost Land is in the production of weapons. To put it simply, if magic materials with certain characteristics can be mass-produced at will, it will only expand the war conflict in the Lost Land. It is both detrimental to
It is not good for the people, nor for self-interest, so it is sad to spend so much time doing these studies. So someone simply gave up on this idea.
He also once thought about using alloy materials to play with magic materials and create the material science of the Lost World. But the conclusion is that when different magic materials are fused together, in most cases, the advantages of each other will be canceled out, or the other will be destroyed.
Weakened and unlucky, unimaginable reaction changes will occur, causing harm.
This makes it understandable why humans, elves, and dwarves, the way of forging in Midland is just to forge, shape, and other processing of raw materials, and then enchant them, without considering other deep processing that changes the properties of objects.
Way.
Due to this environment, there are quite a few ways to use magic materials, which can simply solve the problems that have troubled people on the earth for a long time. Among them, among Lin's original concerns, the two biggest difficulties in the production process were
It's welding and sealing.
On Earth, the joint between the same metal or between different metals is not like wood, which can use a mortise and tenon structure. In addition to using a large number of rivets, it is welded.
When making machines such as engines, sealing is particularly important. Whether it is a cylinder that relies on pressure changes to operate, or a crankcase that maintains lubricating oil capacity to prevent leakage, if the sealing is not good enough, the engine's power will be reduced.
