The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

"what"

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Kong Ming lay on the sofa next to the elemental pool with a satisfied look on his face. He also held a newspaper in his hand and read it comfortably.

Kong Ming is not being lazy. Now one of his projections is teaching Ace, three shota and one lolita. Because the projection is not a mirror image after all, Kong Ming's body is not suitable for doing very mental activities during this period, so he simply reads the newspaper and relaxes a little.

"Queen Boya Hancock of the Amazon Lily went to sea for the first time and became a great pirate with a bounty of 8000 million berries. According to internal sources in the World Government, the Five Old Stars are preparing to invite Empress Boya Hancock to become a member of the King's Shichibukai one"

"Did you see that, Arrita, she is also a beauty. As soon as she went to sea, she offered a reward of 8000 million, and she directly became the Shichibukai, known as the most beautiful woman in the world. What about you?"

miamiamia uh uh uh uh ton tons tons tons tons

"I said, Arrita, can't you eat slower?" Kong Ming looked helplessly at Arrita, who almost choked herself to death on snacks, and said helplessly, "Is there anyone else trying to rob you?"

"No problem, boss, everything is under control."

""

A week has passed since I returned from Shuangyue Village.

In general, other than finding that Luffy didn't do his homework at all, and that Ace and Sabo's homework answers were exactly the same, there were no other problems.

But this was a small matter, so Kong Ming casually assigned them three times as much homework again, and then asked Ah Fu to find someone to watch the three of them complete it, and not allow each other to plagiarize, and then let the matter go.

Oh, by the way, there is another little thing. Luffy, Ace and Sabo have become good friends. Kong Ming doesn't know how Luffy did this magically. But no matter how Luffy did it, it can't be the same as the original history. There will never be any members of the pirate group here who will covet Ace and Sabo's savings, so they torture Luffy.

Maybe this is the will of the world

Moreover, what Kong Ming was worried about did not happen. Like Sabo, the little Loli Kuina successfully meditated and became a mage apprentice. Kong Ming told Kuina frankly that he could only teach her how to To become a mage, but how to combine magic and swordsmanship to form Kuina's own unique magic swordsmanship, and become the world's greatest swordsman, all depends on Kuina's own efforts.

After Guina learned the news, she became even more diligent, and her current level of diligence has surpassed that of Saab

As for Kong Ming himself, he is currently busy working on a large-scale airship project

That's right, it's the one Kong Ming boasted about in front of Jesus Bu.

Kong Ming originally had a good idea. He took out the drawings from the library in Karazhan, then found a shipyard in Navia City to assemble the main body in three steps, five divided by two, and the matter was settled.

But when he actually started doing it, Kong Ming discovered that this matter was far more than he imagined.

First is the drawing

After Kong Ming took out the structural drawing of the airship made by the goblins for the tribe in the library of Karazhan, he realized that he could not just take it out. He had to redraw the entire hundreds of drawings, and then add the dimensions and The comments are translated into the text of the pirate world, which is Japanese.

The reason why I had to redraw it was because Kong Ming found that the drawings of these goblins were very omissions. There were many places in the middle that were completely solved by the goblin engineers using my thinking skills. If I directly copied their drawings, Kong Ming felt that it would be possible to complete the drawings. Even if this thing is manufactured, there is no guarantee that it will not explode on the spot.

You know, only fools read the operating manual, and only idiots read the blueprints. This is the creed of goblin engineering.

If it weren't for the reproductive capabilities of these goblins, such an awesome race would have perished long before they started studying engineering.

And redrawing the drawings is also a learning process for Kong Ming. After all, this thing is likely to be Kong Ming's car for a while. If he doesn't understand all the steps, what if this thing happens in the sky? What to do about malfunctions? After all, accidents often happen, which proves that this thing is indeed a creation of goblin engineering.

After you figure it out yourself, you can at least know how to repair it.

After Kong Ming translated and redrawn the drawings, he found that the drawings had to be changed.

Because the airship built by the goblins for the tribe is similar to what Kong Ming thought. It basically does not have much technical content. That is, it is two air bags plus a hull with jet propulsion. The rise and fall are completely dependent on controlling the amount of gas in the air bags. , it can be said that it is very simple, and the principle is not much different from that of ordinary goblin airships.

The problem now is that the goblins in Azeroth dare to carry rocket backpacks, rocket helmets and other things to jump up and down on airships to perform high-altitude operations, manually open valves to deflate or carry helium bottles on their backs. Add gas.

But Kong Ming has no guts to let his crew do this. Not to mention the crew, Kong Ming himself does not dare to use rocket backpacks or rocket helmets casually.

In his previous life, Kong Ming was blown up to the sky by that thing in the game, not just once or twice.

Therefore, this way of rising and landing must be changed. Anyway, controlling the amount of gas in the airbag is actually just increasing or decreasing the buoyancy generated by the airbag. Kong Ming feels that he can arrange a gravity-enhancing formation on the hull to increase the weight of the hull. Or reduce it, which can have the same effect.

Why is Dara able to fly in the air later? Isn't it because of the anti-gravity array?

If it weren't for the fact that Kong Ming didn't have enough magic metal and a tough enough alloy, Kong Ming could even directly use the gravity-reducing magic circle to levitate the entire ship, and then cooperate with the turbine propulsion system of dwarf engineering to create A true flying battleship.

Kong Ming took out his notebook and carefully blackened, bolded, and underlined the line "Magic Metal" to indicate that it was very important.

Then, Kong Ming checked the current output of several mines, then estimated the possible consumption of magic metal in the next six months, then considered his own inventory, and finally pulled out a piece of paper and calculated for more than half an hour. .

Well, now the amount of magic metal that can be used on the airship has been revealed.

Then, Kong Ming looked at the amount of magic metal that could be used, and without hesitation rejected the method of using magic metal to reduce the weight of the entire hull. Instead, he decided to engrave magic metal on the counterweights in the counterweight cabin. Array, increase or decrease the weight of the counterweight, so as to achieve your goal by changing the direction.

This not only saves money, but also has the advantage that in the event of a battle, even if the airship's hull is damaged, it will not affect the operation of the ship.

The above processes alone have completely consumed all the time from Kong Ming's return from Shuangyue Village to now.

But to change the airship demon to the world of pirates, the things that need to be changed are far more than just the issue of floating and falling.

There are also the size, weight, fixation method of the naval gun, the fuel and material of the engine, the position of the cockpit, the material of the air bag, the large-scale production and transportation of helium, and so on.

These things are easy to solve in Azeroth, because goblins and gnomes already have complete engineering base factories, but the pirate world is really poor in this regard. Kong Ming has to count on Kong Ming to find a solution to everything.

Still lack of talent?

By the way, when was Caesar, the gas fruit ability user, captured by Vegapunk?

Kong Ming thought about it, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed to be two years before Luffy went to sea, that is to say, ten years later

Kong Ming silently deleted the name from his mind temporarily

Kong Ming, you have to believe in yourself. Although the workload is heavy, it is still not a problem for an all-round talent like you, Godfather.

In this way, Kong Ming continued to attend classes, meditate, practice spells every day, and magically change the life of the airship.

The sun and the moon flew by, and two months passed in a flash.

After more than sixty days of hard work, Kong Ming finally completed the modification process of all airships, and this airship has become similar to the famous Orgrimmar ship of the tribe in the world of Azeroth. The Hammer no longer resembles him at all.

First of all, due to the weight of the airship, the hull shell should have been entirely made of iron, but now except for the keel and the frame of the hull, the rest of the hull has been changed to wood. Secondly, also because of the weight of the airship, Kong Ming canceled the counterweight cabin and chose to arrange the gravity array on the all-steel keel.

Because most of the hull was changed to wood, Kong Ming's final hull was much larger than the Hammer of Orgrimmar, and its firepower was also more powerful. Moreover, the two air bags do not have to float on the hull forever like the Hammer of Orgrimmar. Instead, after all the gas is released, they can turn into two large cylinders and hang on both sides of the hull.

Yes, this ship is used both in air and sea.

When in the air, it relies on the reaction force caused by the engine injection gas to move forward. When in the sea, it relies on the engine to drive the propeller to rotate forward, completely abandoning the sail, and can easily move forward even in windless areas. This eliminates the disadvantage that the Hammer of Orgrimmar will definitely be destroyed if it falls into the sea.

Overall, this is a very successful, magically modified, reduced version of the airship.

There is no way, in this society where ordinary metals are not strong enough and magic metals are extremely rare and precious, this is the best solution Kong Ming can think of.

Kong Ming decided that in order to commemorate the first airship he designed and built, he decided to name the ship

"Bancina"

"Jesus Bu," Kong Ming pushed up his glasses with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Do you need me to remind you that you already have one or two Banchinas that can be launched?"

However, Jesus Bu, who sent little Usopp back to Kong Ming, was obviously not listening at all.

"I decided that as soon as this boat is built, I will take it to pick up Banzina, and then tell her face to face that this is my gift to her, and then we will go to Navia City for a holiday first. honeymoon"

Kong Ming gritted his teeth fiercely

"First of all, this is my boat, Jesus. Secondly, you and Banchina have been married for almost ten years, and the child is five years old."

"It's okay" Jesus Bu didn't care, "Boss, what's yours is not my stuff, they're all the same."
