I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 67 Lynn's Space Airship (for further reading)

  Under Lynn's extremely 'kind' eyes, Darren swallowed hard and shut up immediately.

  Lydia seemed to have remembered something, and asked in surprise. "Professor Lynn, did Master Herram ask you to come? Have I passed the examination?"

   "The purpose of my coming here has nothing to do with Master Herram!" Lynn vetoed the girl's guess, and then spoke again amidst the other party's disappointed expression. "I'm going to ask you to make something."

  While talking, Lynn took out a scroll of parchment from his pocket and handed it over. Lydia reached out to take it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"so beautiful…"

   On the parchment roll is a very large and novel-looking alchemy machine.

The top is like an upside-down elliptical sphere, and the bottom is connected by hanging ropes. It is similar to the hull of a ship. Even the internal structure diagram is very clearly drawn. The overall framework is complicated but not messy. It has a strange beauty.

   "What is this? Is it the latest alchemy ship?" Lydia asked in amazement. She saw propellers and rudders on it, which are only used by sailing ships.

   "This is called an airship!" Lynn replied out of words.

In the beginning, he actually made a hot air balloon, which was the simplest way to fly into the sky without magic, but after careful consideration, he gave up on this idea, and decided to get a long-distance sailing balloon directly. Airship out!

  The purpose is naturally not as simple as just looking good, he has already inquired about it in the past few days.

Although some of the three-ring wizards who are proficient in elements and shaping can fly in the sky, the consumption is too high, the flying height is limited, and the speed is not fast. Only great wizards can stay in the air for a long time, and generally they will not be used as rush s method.

  The island under their feet is very large, with many mines, and the entire city of wizards is built next to a huge magic mine in the center of the island. Land transportation is actually not easy.

  For example, it will take seven or eight days to use camel beasts to load a batch of goods from the port of Iyeta to the wizard's land around the mountain road, and you may encounter monsters on the way.

   It would be different if it started from the air, at least half the time. Although the load capacity of the airship is not large, it is still very cost-effective to transport some important materials or novelties that are not available in the city of wizards.

  In addition, the steam airship itself is also a commodity, as long as two magic crystal cannons are mounted on it and some protective spells are added, then it will become a mobile sky fortress!

   It is not easy to sell this thing for thousands of magic gold coins.

  As for the issue of technology leakage, there is no need to worry about it in the short term. As long as he can get the steam airship out and fly around in the sky, he can apply to the parliament for alchemy patent protection.

   Yes, there is a protection mechanism for the production formulas of various magic items in the wizarding land, and only in this way can wizards publish the results of their hard research.

  In fact, in addition to alchemy items, the same is true for high-level magic. Even as a professor in his academy, he can only learn some low-level magic for free.

As for the long-term, there is no need to worry. What he brought out are just low-level toys. After a few years, after finding out the situation in the wizard's land, and directly producing an internal combustion engine, the so-called steam airship will compete with snails in the sky. as slow.

   "Airship, a ship flying in the sky?" Lydia asked impatiently.

   "Yes, that's what it means." Lynn nodded.

Lydia immediately seemed to have found some treasure, her pupils shone with excitement, but she soon discovered that the design of the airship did not have wings like wings, only a small propeller, The power provided is definitely not enough to suspend the airship, it should only be used to adjust the course.

   "Can this thing really fly?" Lydia asked very strangely, is it necessary to cast some kind of magic?

   "Of course it can fly." Lynn said with certainty, and then continued to ask with a smile. "Do you know why wood floats on water?"

  Lydia shook her head in confusion, isn't it common sense that wood can float on water?

   Lynn explained. "Because wood of the same volume is lighter than water, that is to say, its density is lower than that of water, and the weight of the water it displaces is greater than its own weight, so the buoyancy force is greater than gravity... You can try it, not only wood, it has the same properties Anything that floats on the surface of the water, and vice versa falls in the water."

   "The fact that an airship can fly into the sky is the same as wood floating on water! As long as the gas density in the air chamber is lower than the normal atmosphere, then flying will naturally be no problem."

  Lydia listened very seriously, and nodded half understanding. "Then we are sitting on the airship, just like sitting on a ship, we use this very light gas to ascend to the sky, right?"

   "Your comprehension ability is very good, but the knowledge you understand is too little. If you can take a few more lessons in my Olympiad, maybe you can design your own aircraft!" Lynn said with emotion.

Hearing what Lynn said, Lydia's originally happy expression immediately stagnated, and then she had a mournful face. She had to join the Iyeta Academy to learn this knowledge, but the key is that she had to fly to the sky before passing Exam...

   This looks like an endless loop...

   "If you can make the airship perfectly according to the design drawings, then I can consider letting you fly it for the first flight." Lynn said with a smile. "I remember the agreement you made with Master Herram to fly in the sky without using magic, which barely meets the requirements."

"Can I really fly it?" Lydia jumped up excitedly, and then bumped her head against the frame of the wing. Tears rolled in her eyes due to the pain, but she still looked at Lin with her head covered. kindness.

   "Of course, but let me tell you something first, my requirements are very high!" Lynn said freely.

  Although one of his goals this time is to fool...cough...to recruit this halfling girl as his assistant to help him make and sell those novel creations, thus saving more time to study magic.

  However, the way of doing things is also very important. If you directly come to the door and invite to help the other party, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion and will not achieve good results.

  Only by forcing the other party to win the opportunity through their own efforts will people cherish it, and they will be more serious when learning Mathematical Olympiad in the future.
