Chapter 629 The Era of Wings Is Over
"Great Patriarch, this is the wind cannon you want. This should be the phenomenon, right?" The half-elf natural mage ran in with the wind cannon in his arms. It's not that the wind cannon is too heavy, but that the wind cannon has been spraying air into the air.
This spraying caused a downward propulsion force, which made the wind cannon heavier.
"Very good, this is it. Finally, the mutation was successful." After constantly mutating various wind cannon plants, the continuous spraying wind cannon that Chi Nan wanted finally appeared. Chi Nan placed it on the floor and touched it with his hand.
With Chi Nan's control, the wind cannon gradually stopped spraying randomly, but began to spray steadily and systematically.
"So that's it. I understand that using the power of the wind element to mobilize the real wind."
All along, his wind cannon condensed the wind element and then directly sprayed it out. But there are only a few wind elements, and they are even more violent. The power required to condense the wind element is too strong.
This caused the accelerators he used to only spray for a short time and hurt himself. The ejectors on those missiles would be useless after spraying for a period of time. If the missile itself was not a one-time weapon, Chi Nan would not do this, but now it is different.
Chi Nan found that the magic pattern inside this new wind cannon had undergone a huge mutation. Chi Nan did not know the principle of this mutation because it was the natural growth of plants. He could control plants, but he had no way to control the magic pattern.
Or, he knew too little about the magic pattern and had no relevant knowledge in this area.
The newly mutated magic pattern can condense the wind element, and then use the wind element to compress the surrounding air and then eject it. The wind element used is very small, so the pressure on itself is negligible.
Under such pressure, this wind cannon can continuously compress and eject air to generate powerful propulsion.
As long as this wind cannon is manufactured and then changed, it will be a complete propeller. Just add a few special baffles at the back to control the direction.
"With continuous stability, the speed of the airship will be several times faster than before, and it will be more flexible. I didn't expect that the last shortcoming of this airship, the propeller, has also been solved. The second-generation airship has truly become an existence that can compete with the flying boat."
Chi Nan was very happy. When he fought against the flying boat before, Chi Nan had already discovered that the speed and stability of the flying boat were better than flying, and it was more flexible. If they were not too confident, they would have come too close later and had no way to escape. If those flying boats wanted to escape, he really had no way to destroy them in one fell swoop.
But now it's different. With the propeller, Chi Nan believes that as long as he improves it, it won't be a problem even if the speed exceeds the opponent. It seems that the era of airships flying with wings can finally end.
This second-generation airship has finally become worthy of its name here.
Thinking of this, Chi Nan immediately waved his hand to let people leave, and he himself entered the research state again. It is not an easy task for new plants to be transformed into usable items.
For this propeller, Chi Nan did not come out of the room for three whole days. If Hemi and Sophia hadn't been able to see Chi Nan from a distance, they would have been worried.
Three days later, Chi Nan adjusted the seeds and modules that he had made before so that they could adapt to his propellers. Then he didn't ask anyone else to help him. He first completely gave birth to a new airship.
He controlled it from below, allowing the airship to fly continuously in the air, and then conducted experiments.
"In terms of speed, the acceleration time has been shortened to one-tenth of the previous time. The propeller is indeed better than the wings. The maximum speed is five times the previous speed, which has exceeded the alchemy flying boat, and it is continuous and stable."
Suddenly, Chi Nan narrowed his eyes: "No, no, accelerating to five times will cause great damage to the airship. Flying at this speed for a long time will cause the airship to fall apart. It seems that it is usually necessary to run at three times the speed. Five times the speed is used for pursuit or escape." A guard next to him quickly recorded everything Chi Nan said.
The speed reached the limit before, and Chi Nan felt the pressure information from the airship after a long flight. This one was completely born by himself, not assembled modularly.
If this kind of airship can feel the pressure, then the connection position of the modular airship will definitely be unable to bear it. After all, no matter how much it merges, it can't be as strong as the one that grows completely by itself.
However, if it is only three times the original speed, this speed is slower than those alchemical flying boats. At least it must reach four times the speed to suppress those alchemical flying boats.
But to achieve such a speed, the problem of modular connection stability must be solved. "It seems that the connection position needs to be thickened. By the way, there is a kind of plant whose mucus will form a layer of colloid after drying, which can buffer the impact of force. In this case, let's add it to the connection position and see if it can effectively reduce the impact."
Chi Nan continued to experiment, and the others around him saw this new airship with their eyes wide open.
"Oh my God, the speed of the airship can be accelerated to this extent. It's a bit difficult to adapt."
Chi Nan waved his hand: "What is this? It can only fly horizontally. It can't even fly up and down." Chi Nan looked disdainful. There was no way. After all, the airship is not an airplane. It relies on the floating ball to float in the air by gravity.
It is very difficult to change up and down suddenly. However, such a fast speed is prone to problems. "It seems that the seat belt should also be added." Chi Nan touched his chin and said to himself naturally.
It took two days for Chi Nan to refer to the suggestions of other natural mages and airship commanders. With the help of Sophia and Hemi, the new airship was finally adjusted and formed.
Various modular seeds were delivered to the hands of natural mages, and large-scale production began. At this rate, the first batch of second-generation airships can be produced in just two months.
And this batch is not just the amount of one airship formation. With the current production capacity of the territory, it can directly produce ten airship formations at one time. At that time, the air force of the territory will expand to a terrifying level. It's only two months, which is not a long time. Perhaps his army has not yet conquered the entire territory of Rusya.
The matter of the airship has finally come to an end, and Chi Nan can finally focus on other places.
