Scene 340: Through the Sea of ??Clouds

 .<

Fang Plover watched as the huge floating ship was being built bit by bit in the dry dock.

After all, this is just a game. Thanks to the help of the goblin dolls, the construction speed of the sailboat is naturally far beyond what can be compared in the real world. Its hull has already been built, and the ship's materials are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

.

MTT, Whisper, Xiaoyao and Wuxian discuss the design of the magic engine. Kingfisher Workshop’s series of engines benefit from the special design of the magic reagent operating inside it, allowing it to be far more stable in overloading for a longer period of time.

The capabilities of other types of magic engines.

This is not only reflected in ship-type magic furnaces. In fact, all magic furnaces in this series have such characteristics. Fang Yu systematically studied this category of magic furnaces when he first went to Elpaxin.

's structure.

For the Kaolin-Yinxiulian delegation, many of the designs of the Kingfisher Workshop are more familiar than eating and drinking. They are advocated by the craftsmen association and school they belong to, and some of them are even themselves.

It comes from the Southern Territory, where craftsmen like Yin Si learned their craftsmanship.

In the same vein as Kingfisher Workshop.

As a crystal craftsman, Xiaoyao has considerable knowledge of any type of magic furnace, not to mention that he is from Silver Vislan - the latter has deep cooperation with Kingfisher Workshop.

Since the people of Giant Tree Hill have made a pledge, they are not afraid of challenges. The people who can be here are not the best in various fields, at least they are geniuses at this stage.

On the contrary, Fang Plover didn't know much about the new series of Kingfisher Workshop. The Kapka Society itself is an alternative to Kaolin-Yin Xiulian, and it is its own school. And after leaving the Society, his experience was even more unique -



He learned a lot of magical skills during his adventures and had many teachers. However, except for the Southern Warlock Guild President, most of the people who taught him had knowledge systems that were incompatible with the mainstream orthodoxy on the mainland.

.

When ordinary craftsmen want to upgrade their own magic furnaces, they usually have to choose from the most popular types of magic furnaces in the continent, or at the worst, they have to consider the latest models from the Empire. But he is different. He has almost all of them.

The magic furnace is designed and completed by myself.

Therefore, when discussing the Kingfisher series of magic furnaces, he can neither intervene nor help. It is not that the idea of ​​​​his Zero magic furnace cannot be applied to aerospace ships. It was used in the construction of the Seven Seas Traveler.

Got into the heart of the fairy.

But the topic that the Giant Tree Hill man set was Potions, so it had nothing to do with his Zero Crystal.

Fortunately, this is not difficult for a group of geniuses. Xiaoyao and MTT jointly proposed the plan and came up with the latest design of Kingfisher Workshop, and then Weiyu and others were responsible for completing it. In fact, the most complicated part is still

Magic reagent.

The Magic Furnace of Kingfisher Workshop does not have any innovative design in terms of structure. It mainly relies on the extraordinary performance of the special magic reagents operating inside. Even the Imperial people can't match it in this aspect.

Otherwise, this series of magic furnaces would not stand out among Kukai and create their own reputation.

Xiaoyao and MTT have mastered the formula of special magic reagents, but it is not easy to prepare them stably, not to mention that the magic furnace used in ships requires a large amount and needs to be able to produce it stably.

And this job fell to Roland.

Ming and Soul regard this young man from Yasha as a special soldier, and in fact, he has played the role that this special soldier should have, both in the previous games and in the current session.

The question in the central area delayed the Imperial people for a long time before they had time to defeat the Oshu coalition forces. The question about active metal must have left a deep impression on the people in the Imperial workshop——

The key is that the mechanical enemies in the central area are also determined by the direction of the question. If the last active mechanical army had not appeared, the Imperials would have finally used the methods they obtained in the Nozpitz underground mining area.

——I’m afraid it’s not that easy to reach Tower 4.

As for the progress on the Giant Tree Hill side, Fang Plover was a little surprised to be honest. That Forin was unremarkable in the previous competition, but he didn't expect that he was not inferior to the Imperial Twins.

However, he chose such a topic in the tower, which was an unexpected surprise to the people of Kaolin-Yinxiulian.

Fang Plover withdrew his gaze.

He doesn't need to worry about the magic engine, and the focus of his work is naturally on supervising the construction of the floating ship itself.

"This ship seems a little different..."

Shui Wuming held a thick stack of design drawings and said to the side. She was acting as Fang Pliback's deputy here, and Luo Wei was also there - because of the presence of Miss Tata, she actually didn't expend too much effort.

, I still have time to look over.

She didn't know much about sailboats, but she could roughly recognize the core part of the giant ship, which was somewhat similar to some of the knowledge she was familiar with.

Luo Wei also asked: "That doesn't seem to be a Gain generator?"

There was indeed a difference between the giant ship in the distance and Fang Plover's impression, but it was not surprising that Luo Wei could recognize it, because the crystal device in the core part was originally derived from the technical route of the fairy user.

That is the legacy design of the great alchemist Luo Zhen—the last legacy he left for this world—the Fairy Heart.

He chooses Tower Five.

Choose Miss Tata.

It's just for this moment.

"That's the heart of the fairy," Fang Yu had previously explained to them the existence of the fairy dragon soul. Although the concept of the fairy dragon knight sounds shocking, it is after all one of the ultimate technical routes that the craftsmen have been pursuing all their lives.

one.

It is unbelievable in reality, almost no one has ever reached that realm, and the secrets of the Silver Tower are unknown, even judging from the look of Miss Tata that Atush saw in Ayinbrok...

Maybe even the occultists themselves don't know that they have reached the final goal.

What's more, so what if the second technical route is realized, the dragon soul must be matched with a holy crystal without attributes, and the sixth technical route has long been lost in the dust of history.

It was even a coincidence that Fang Plover himself brought the star dagger carrying Miss Tata's soul into the temple located under the Vana Forest. However, one of the links among these coincidences was broken.

It is impossible for the Fairy Dragon Knight to become a reality.

But since this is a high tower, both the existence of the fairy dragon soul and the fairy heart can be reasonably explained.

"You should be aware of the grievances between the Fairy Workshop and the three major families in the South. Especially since Senior Sister Luo Wei was born as a Fairy Envoy, you should have heard of Luo Zhen, the great alchemist." Fang Plover recounted the history that had taken place.

Come on.

Luo Wei nodded, she naturally understood.

"This is the legacy left by Luo Zhen," Fang Yu replied. "This design later fell into the hands of Sir Ma Wei, and finally passed into my hands."

He didn't mention anything more, after all, it was related to Sylvide's personal privacy. Besides, most of the people in the group had heard the story after that, and also knew the origin of the ship officer on his ship, so naturally they didn't.

Will ask more.

Shui Wuming looked at him with a little envy, "You and that ship officer lady had such an experience. It's so romantic. If someone is willing to risk everything for me..."

She still couldn't help but hold her face and fantasize about it.

Luo Wei looked at her calmly, "Wu Ming, do you have any ideals that you want to achieve?"

Shui Wuming suddenly got stuck, coughed and said: "Sister Luo Wei... I haven't thought about it yet..."

The two of them chatted about each other and diverted their attention. Naturally, no one thought that the fairy dragon knight could really be realized in the real world, and it might even have been realized in this tower earlier.

Prototype——

Fang Yu was also happy to see this. After all, the Fairy Dragon Knight was the most important secret to him. It was not only related to Sylvester, but also related to the safety of Sir Mawei and a series of related people.

Before the situation in Kaolin-Yinxiulian was undecided, before he had solved the mystery about Hain-Fam, and before he understood the enemy facing the Silver Tower, he would never be able to easily

To reveal this secret.

But Luo Wei is much more perceptive than Shui Wuming after all.

She glanced at Fang Yu and suddenly asked:

"Ed, if the Fairy Dragon Knight you mentioned exists, Dragon Soul No. 5 must rely on some kind of medium to appear in reality, right?"

Fang Yu was startled and couldn't help but nodded.

After hearing this question, Shui Wuming responded: "Yes, in fact, the fairy dragon knight also exists in the ultimate idea of ​​the craftsmen. Because after all, we craftsmen cannot become dragon knights, and people have thought of many ways for this.

, among them, the Fairy Dragon Knight is already the one closest to reality."

She paused, "But the difficulty of the Fairy Dragon Knight actually lies in the carrier crystal. Craftsmen can only accept the blessing of non-attributed crystals, but the non-attributed crystals are too fragile and difficult to use on vehicles."

She suddenly thought of something and looked at Fang Plover, "By the way, Ed, haven't you mastered the design method of a type of crystal? In my opinion, if this route reaches the end, maybe we can design a non-attribute that can really suit the dragon soul."

Where’s the crystal?”

"The difference in strength between the core crystal used in the magic furnace and the dragon soul crystal cannot be measured," Luo Wei replied, "There is still a long way to go, but this can indeed be a direction.

"

She looked at Fang Yu and said, "That's why the significance of a crystal is so great. To be honest, Ed, all the abilities you showed in this game, whether it was the subsequent Valkyrie construction or the Creation Technique,

The real meaning is not as important as a single crystal. After you leave this place, many people will come to your door, so you have to be careful about your own safety."

Luo Wei frowned and said something worried.

Fang Yu nodded, but he did not think that the significance of the Elf Creation Technique was inferior to that of a crystal. The Peace Knight was indeed a wonderful work for him and Weiyu.

But even that piece of work may have more meaning than people imagine. Many people think that it is just a main structure with a pseudo-dragon knight design, but people seem to have overlooked another issue.

Who is the real driver of this main unit?

What if it was originally designed as the main construct for a Dragon Soul?

Can it be regarded as a dragon knight in a sense?

But this topic is difficult for Fang Pliance to discuss with anyone. After all, having two dragon souls is probably even more shocking than the Zero Crystal itself.

As for the Type 0 crystal, it was beyond the expectations of Luo Wei and Shui Wuming. In fact, his Type 1 crystal was not designed from the bottom up, but was based on the inversion of the Type 0 crystal. The non-attribute Dragon Soul Crystal was not

It is the future, but a reality.

On the contrary, it is the complete version of Yishi Crystal, which is a future for him.

However, he could not talk about any of these topics. He could only listen silently to the conversation between Shui Wuming and Luo Wei, while at the same time he turned his attention to the giant ship that was about to complete the laying of the keel and ribs——

That was not the Seven Seas Traveler that he was familiar with.

"It's not that I don't want to complete the follow-up deduction of Seven Seas Traveler here," these were Miss Tata's exact words, "but I don't want to do this. Can you understand what I mean, Mr. Knight?"

The fairy lady in the tower was more decisive and independent than the one he was familiar with, but the feeling of spiritual connection between the two was still familiar.

Miss Tata in the tower also cares about his opinion.

Fang Yu naturally understood the meaning of these words. Miss Tata in the tower did not want to bring trouble to him and Miss Tata. After all, the fairy dragon soul was special, so it was fine in the world of the tower.

If someone with a heart comes into contact with him, it will definitely set off a storm.

"So this ship is...?"

"This is the ship type of the elves," Miss Tata replied. "The design of the elves does not mean that it is advanced. After all, mortal magic skills have been developed for a thousand years, but it is indeed more suitable for the hearts of fairies.

design."

"How does it compare to the Seven Seas Traveler?"

"Compared with our ship, it is naturally much more powerful. In any case, this is a mature design," Tata replied, "but compared with the truly complete Seven Seas Traveler, it is far inferior."

"What's it called?"

"Star Flower," Tata replied, "it is the flagship of the silver ship. It once wounded the dragon king in the shadow and ended the doomsday war of Delatere. The silver ship surrounded the giant dragon.

Under the shadow of the tree, I witnessed the elves saying goodbye to this world——"

Fang Yu was confused when he heard this, "Why does Miss Tata know this?"

"I know a lot," the fairy lady in the tower laughed, "When I get out, I...she will slowly tell you these stories. I remember many of those long-standing stories. Mr. Knight, if

What you like to hear."

Fang Plover looked at the giant ship as if he didn't understand.

"Don't worry, Mr. Knight," Tata's calm eyes reflected the same thing, "This is my gift to you. I said I would give Mr. Knight a victory, and this victory must be extremely glorious."

Fang Yu nodded silently.

After the sea of ​​trees.

It's the tower and the sea of ​​clouds.

The two levels, Tower and Sea of ​​Clouds, have always been fixed levels in the Mainland League. There is no elimination pressure in these two levels, but the advantages gained from the previous two levels will be concentrated here -

Whether it is a mechanical artifact or a fairy doll, it can eventually be fed back into the gain of shipbuilding. Among them, the mechanical artifact can be used as an important device or core component of the floating battleship.

And more fairy dolls often mean more efficient construction efficiency, and more complex projects can be carried out.

But in the final analysis, it still depends on the abilities of the players themselves——

Because how to design and build a floating ship - starting from the selection of materials, to the hull design, the installation of the keel and ribs, the distribution of cabins and the selection of masts and sails, and even as trivial as the specific rigging components and the layout of the magic circuit

They are all highly professional and complex projects.

Sailboats are vehicles that must adapt to the sea of ​​clouds environment.

Every part of it must have wind element adaptability. The wind element circulation is generated in the hull through the Gain generator, and the circuit arranged on the entire hull needs to circulate this circulation through every part of the hull, so that

It forms a balance.

In this way, the sailboat will not capsize while sailing on the empty sea.

In ancient times, about 800 years ago, when the first generation of sailboats were designed, the wind element circulation was often arranged on the outer shell. The first generation of mortal ancestors of Aitaria rode on this

ship to open up a new world——

But the ancient sailboats had many shortcomings, the most fatal of which was that they were too fragile. Once the sailboats of that era were damaged - or there were any holes in the hull, the balance of the elements of the entire ship would quickly deteriorate.

Out of balance, resulting in an accident or air crash.

Early sailors gave this situation an apt name as "flooding" based on the experience of sailing ships sailing on the water, because once the hull of the ship is damaged and flooding occurs, the hull will lose balance and then capsize.

The brave navigators in the early years overcame such difficulties and set out from Xinta'an and Kaolin-Yinxiulian, extending the footprints of human activities from the stormy sea to today's Giant Tree Hill area.

A route was opened from San Juan to Rotao.

During these great adventures, human shipbuilding technology also underwent revolutionary changes.

The first is the improvement of the Gain generator.

The second is the improvement of the wind element circulation. The circulation distributed outside the hull is gradually built into the hull, and the magic circuit is gradually penetrated into the structure inside the hull.

From then on, the circulation flows through the structure of each cabin - making the sailboat balance from the center of gravity, rather than from the outer shell as before. In this way, even if the outer hull is damaged, the sailboat will not be completely unbalanced and capsize.

.

At the same time, the Gain generator also forms multiple systems, often with three or four return circles. Even if one of them fails, the remaining ones are enough to make the sailboat hover above the empty sea.

The influence of this design continues to this day, but it also leaves a negative impact - that is, new circulation systems often place higher requirements on shipbuilding materials, requiring shell materials to have higher wind element suitability.

So that the internal circulation will not be dragged down by external materials.

The reason why Fang Yu was troubled by the high price of ship materials for so long when he was building the Seven Seas Traveler was that he finally solved the problem with the help of Ms. Kuisu, her logging team and Princess Instania.

For this reason.

The same disadvantages are.

Today's shipbuilding technology has become increasingly complex. It has gone from a project that could be completed by three or five people in the past to a complex and systematic project that is costly and consumes countless manpower.

In short, the design of sailboats has become more and more complex and expensive in the past seven centuries. Shipbuilding has changed from a job that a few craftsmen could complete together to a complete competition of national strength between big countries.

.

It is precisely for this reason that the construction project of the sailboat is called the jewel in the crown of contemporary magic arts together with the Dragon Knight project.

Such a complex project seems complicated and even unfamiliar even to the geniuses who have reached this stage.

Basically, in this link, in addition to the main teams in the top four divisions, even top teams such as the Kapka Craftsmen Association and the Guta people may not be able to complete the construction of the sailboat independently.

Not to mention overseas teams.

But for those people, they at least have the next best thing.

The tower provides the most basic ship types for contestants, and there is an auxiliary fairy soul in the tower called the "Soul of the Tower", which can provide certain guidance and assistance to teams that are not so good at shipbuilding.

Therefore, even if the contestants do not have any knowledge about shipbuilding at all - as long as they have basic craftsmanship, they can still build the most basic ship type with assistance.

However, relatively speaking, both the choice of ship type and the progress of the project will be far slower than other teams.

Therefore, the tower level does not involve elimination, but people who are familiar with the steeple trial actually understand that from this level on, the various delegations have been divided into priorities.

Not to mention that this level is also deeply affected by the results of the previous two levels. If a team did not get enough fairy dolls in the Sea of ​​Trees trial, they may not even be able to complete their sailboat in this level.

Very difficult.

After all, the soul of the tower can only be used as an auxiliary, and the shipbuilding process itself requires real 'workers'.

This is not a tree sea space. The role of multiple parallelism has been greatly weakened here. It is impossible for less than ten contestants to build a real sailboat on their own. That’s why the commentators on the main stage value the tree sea test so much.

Refining.

It's not without reason.

In fact, in every competition in the past, teams have fallen behind in this stage - there is no time limit in the tower stage, but those who complete the sailboat construction first can often advance to the next level first.

It’s just that this year’s competition is a bit special.

Although the Imperial people's plan has not yet been launched, the alliance has had a substantial impact. The Imperial Workshop has distributed most of the loot obtained from the Sea of ​​Trees space to each team in the alliance.

This allows, in addition to the first few teams to exit, those teams that may have fallen behind in the tower level may also be able to catch up with the first-line teams through the benefits gained from the Sea of ​​Trees Trial.

There is no live broadcast of the tower session.

However, Jerros could still make predictions based on the results of the previous session. After reading all the details of the previous game, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and noticed that this year's competition was unusual.

.

But soon, the teams that completed the construction work first began to enter the fourth level of the competition.

This level is not too challenging. In fact, it is mainly a test of the seaworthiness of the built sailboat. The level is called Sea of ​​Clouds. In fact, it only requires the participating teams to drive their sailboats through a simulated air and sea area.

They may face some unexpected conditions in this sea area, such as storms, submersible waves and turbulent air currents, and may even have to pass through the elemental layer, but all challenges are based on the sailboat itself.

And there is no interference between other teams.

As long as the players are familiar enough with the sailboats they built, they will basically not be eliminated in this level.

However, there have been several mistakes in history. It is not that the sailboat without a team fell apart under the wind and waves at this level. But once the race is halfway through, the elimination system will take effect. If you make a mistake in the sea of ​​clouds here, you will

Loss of overall eligibility.

From this level on, the tower trial entered a brutal knockout stage.

However, the situation of this competition was much better than expected. The three teams that started first successfully passed the sea of ​​clouds stage without encountering many setbacks in the process.

The identities of these three teams are not too unexpected. They are the Imperial Workshop, the Sanshak Craftsmen Association and the Kaolin-Yinxiulian Craftsmen Group. The one who set off later was the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association.

, Kapka Artisans Association and Mirrodian Artisans Association.

But when Jerros got the list of the team that was going to start later, the Imperials had already entered the fifth stage.

bridge--

This is also the most interesting part of the entire tower trial. It requires contestants to use their own floating ships to pass through the real land bridge and finally reach the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

The realm of heaven.

The door to the world is a legendary existence for any chosen person who goes to Etalia. How many people have listened to such stories and come to this dream world?

The pioneers set foot on the continental bridge, passed through the treacherous sea area, passed through many dangers and miracles of nature, and finally arrived at the door and opened it.

Go to the second world.

Although the levels in the Tower Trial are only simulated links, for many craftsmen, this may be the only opportunity in their lives to witness what a real continental bridge is like.

At the same time as it entered the fifth level, the broadcast of this mainland league was finally able to continue.

The moment the image of the Imperials and their giant ships appeared above the arena, the audience in the arena where the main stage was located couldn't help but let out a low cry:

"look!"

"It's the Imperial Storm!"

Deep cheers echoed throughout the arena.

Because that was the pride of the Imperial people.

Its reputation spreads far and wide in the southern border of the empire. It once participated in the Doomsday War and was the flagship of the Empire's Second Fleet, which completely defeated the Lizard Fleet in the Ancient Battle.

It is also one of the oldest legends of the Empire and one of the most primitive early designs of constructed battleships that continues to this day since the battle between the Lightbringer and the Silver Helmet.

Dragoon type battleship.



I woke up late recently so the update will be a bit late, but there should be no need to take leave for the time being.
