Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1687 Simple and easy to get started
Looking up, Xia Duo can vaguely see the complex mechanical connections behind these joysticks from the gap between the airbags, and even the [endless gas cylinder] that Stern said can be vaguely seen.

It was an open bottle about the size of a circle, and the mouth of the bottle was connected to the airbag through a mechanical device, but Xia Duo could clearly hear the sound of gas whistling through it.

Moreover, there are multiple pipes on the mechanical device leading to various directions of the airbag. Combined with some phenomena just observed on the platform, Xia Duo can basically confirm that the airship uses a moving method similar to that of a hovercraft.

The movement in the horizontal direction is achieved by spraying air in all directions, and the movement in the vertical direction can be achieved by injecting or discharging gas into the airbag of the airship.

Seeing that Xia Duo raised his eyes to observe the direction of the pipeline in the upper airbag, Stern introduced it in a timely manner, "This is an airship power plant that was built by inviting the dwarves on the Huangfeng Hill and the dwarf craftsmen of Danzuo. Of course, human craftsmen can also build it. Just a little slower."

Xia Duo nodded, walked around the console in the middle, and asked Stern: "What is the fastest speed of this airship?"

"With no load, it can fly 100 miles per hour, and with a full load, it can fly 7 or 8 miles per hour, but it is not conducive to deceleration, and it needs to start deceleration farther in advance."

"If you use the flying technique, you don't need to slow down in advance, why not use the flying technique?"

As soon as he said this, Xia Duo immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question. If he could use the flying technique, he wouldn't need such a big airbag.

In fact, as long as you don't use magic, you will always face inertia problems.

For this question, Stern answered very cleverly, "When we first handed over the [Endless Gas Cylinder] to the craftsmen, we didn't mention the issue of forward momentum. This was their own idea."

"The wisdom of ordinary people should not be underestimated!"

Xia Duo sighed, this topic is over, "By the way, can I control this airship?"

"Of course, this airship is already yours, Lord Xiaduo, and you can manipulate it as you like."

After finishing speaking, Stern called the operator next to him again, "Danny, give up your position and tell Lord Shaduo how to operate the airship."

"Yes."

The young operator named Danny immediately turned his body aside, and after Xia Duo held the control with both hands, he began to explain:
"Respected Lord Xiaduo, the two joysticks you are holding now, the one on the left turns left, turns right, pulls down to accelerate, releases to have no power, and pushes up to slow down. The one on the right has no rotation operation , only up and down, pull down to exhaust and drop, release to stop exhaust, push up to inflate and rise."

"It's pretty simple!"

The most important thing is that these operations are quite in line with the logic of ordinary people. Xia Duo almost remembered them after hearing them, but he saw that there were two joysticks on the opposite side of the console, so he asked again:
"Then what do those two on the other side do?"

"Same as here, just in the opposite direction."

This was not what Danny said, but Stern rushed to answer, "The airship is different from the ships on the surface. There is no distinction between the front and the back. Whoever flies there will be in charge and the other will be assisted."

"Then what if you want to fly sideways?"

The hovercraft-like movement method can theoretically fly sideways. Xia Duo doesn't believe that an airship can be built, but he can't let it fly sideways.

Although flying horizontally has a lot of resistance, sometimes you just need to fly like this. If you can't, you will be blind.

Stern didn't expect that Xiaduo would ask such a question, and he happened to have never understood it himself, so he ordered others, "Matt! You come to answer Lord Xiaduo's question."

"Yes. Dear Lord Xiaduo, if you want the airship to fly sideways, you can turn the left-hand joystick left or right at the same time. Left-handed means you fly horizontally to the left in your direction, and right-handed means to fly horizontally to the right."

"understood."

Regarding this design, Xia Duo repeatedly nodded. Originally, if two people rotated to the left at the same time, the operation would conflict, but the ingenuity of the craftsman turned this conflict into another operation.

But having said that, if it is designed in this way, the airship will not have front and rear distinctions like what Stern said. It is obvious that he is now facing the bow, and the two joysticks he is holding are the main joysticks. .

"Next, let's try flying!"

Xia Duo first released the traction lock of the No. 1 spire near the platform, and then held the joystick with his right hand and pushed it up lightly, and the mechanical device connected to the endless gas cylinder above it immediately made a dull clicking sound.

Immediately afterwards, some of the pipes above had whistling airflow, but now the sound suddenly became smaller, while other pipes seemed to make sounds again.

Following that, the hull below the airship shook slightly, and the vision of everyone on board began to rise slowly.

Xia Duo controlled the strength and pushed the joystick on his right hand to the apex, directly pulling up the inflation speed to full, and the airship rose rapidly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

"It's such a long-heard feeling of overweight!" Xia Duo sighed inwardly.

The power of this airship is much greater than he expected. The No. 1 minaret is more than 100 meters high, and it is already the tallest existence in the vicinity. After only a moment of floating up, Xia Duo began to pull down the left joystick.

The airship then slowly moved towards the direction he was facing. Of course, corresponding to the reality, it was flying south, and while advancing, he did not forget to continue to rise.

As the speed and altitude gradually increased, the wind on the boat gradually became more textured. Fortunately, this is summer. If it is winter, it is somewhat inconvenient to operate in the open air.

For Xia Duo, this airship undoubtedly greatly satisfied his regret of not being able to drive an excavator on Earth. After operating hard, he noticed Niya's eager eyes and asked:
"Niya, do you want to try?"

"want!"

Nya squeezed Xia Duo away without hesitation, held the joystick with both hands, and twisted it vigorously. The second and third times, the scene was very embarrassing.

Xia Duo almost forgot that he could operate it easily when he got started, but in fact, for ordinary people, these two joysticks are quite difficult to use.

--【man of Steel】

A transmutation spell from Feld's spell book was used by Xia Duo on Niya. This spell cannot turn the human body into steel, but it also has the characteristics of steel and can move freely.

With the blessing of the Man of Steel, Niya immediately turned into an Iron Man, and the mere two joysticks were no longer her opponents.

It's just that compared to Xia Duo who still has the influence of traffic rules in his subconscious, the operation is relatively elegant, and he basically never thought about deliberately playing any tricks.

But Niya has no concept of this aspect at all. It is a "test drive" anyway, and she can operate almost as she likes. There are more than three spellcasters on this airship, and there are three ordinary people including two operators and Lord Leisen. people.
