The Defeated Dragon - Chapter 906

[Chapter 827 The power of steam]

Inuit’s words reminded Liszt that both horizontal sails and vertical sails are types of sails. A large ship can have two or three masts, so why can’t the horizontal sails and the vertical sails be hung at the same time?

When the wind is down, the horizontal sail is raised, whistling and galloping; when the wind is headed, the longitudinal sail is raised, and the serpentine maneuvers.

In this way, it can basically be said that the sailboat can move freely at sea at any time, which will greatly shorten the sailing time.

Moreover, Liszt seems to have some impressions. In the era of great navigation on the earth, there were many sailboats, that is, the triangular longitudinal sails were hung at the bow and stern, and the horizontal sails were hung in the middle.

It was after listening to Inuit’s suggestion that Liszt immediately ordered the shipbuilders in the dock to study the hybrid sailing ship.

However, Liszt didn’t pay much attention to the Inuit’s proposal to fix the sails with wood, because it was rejected by several old boatmen and considered unrealistic at the time.

“It now seems that I have to have a good chat with this creative magician. If I can get the affirmation of the smoke mission and the power of destiny, this person should be a gifted character.”

The power of destiny represented by the smoke mission, Very mysterious and mysterious, so far Liszt has not figured out the root cause.

But it is undeniable that the characters who can be selected by the smoke mission will always have something unusual and special.

In plain words, these people are roughly equivalent to “Children of Destiny”, with a “protagonist halo” around them… Of course, no matter how strong their halo is, they can’t be stronger than Liszt’s “plug-in”.

Emily is talented in fighting spirit, Lucy and Ruth have outstanding magical talents, Paris is involved in the light magic swordsman… Ake is a rare sea monster in the world, and he has become a magician as a sea monster.

Inuit talent is unclear.

Lister needs serious attention.

Soon, Inuit Truth was led by the squire knight. He is not a magician who follows the rules. It seems that he has improved the magic cloak and changed it into a tight suit: “Your Highness, are you looking

for me?” “Because Newt, do you like sailing very much?” Liszt motioned for the other party to take a seat, and then asked casually.

“Yes, Your Highness, I grew up by the sea, and I have longed for the blue sea since I was a child.”

The information about the Inuit has been presented in Liszt’s hand, when every magician was directly transferred from the Magic Association to join the association, They will provide detailed identity information, and finally issue an identity card similar to an ID card, and the people of Heima Island will have one.

Inuit is a sapphire man,

but a magician from the outer islands. He came to Black Horse Island with his teacher.

His teacher is just an ordinary magician, and he is currently studying natural magic with the great magician Lars Truth, that is, Druid farming and transformation.

He himself does not like to study magical content that is too theoretical in nature, but is full of enthusiasm for the business of sailing.

Liszt knocked on the table and asked, “What other inspiration do you have for the improvement of sailboats?”

Inuit replied with a little excitement: “His Royal Highness, I have been studying sailboats for a long time, and there are a lot of designs. I want to play. I have communicated with the shipbuilders in the dock before, but they are too rigid. They don’t let go of the rigid shipbuilding skills, and they don’t understand my design at all!”

“Then tell me now.”

“Yes. , Your Highness!”

As soon as he opened the chat box, Inuit couldn’t stop and revealed his full design of the sailboat.

These designs involve everything from sails, masts, slings to hull structures.

A lot of content is really whimsical, and even Liszt finds it a bit difficult to understand.

There are also some designs that, in Liszt’s opinion, are pure nonsense.

For example, the Inuit felt that the work of furling was very busy and heavy, so they simply designed the mast to be foldable, so that when a storm came, the mast could be directly lowered to the sides, and it could also be used as a support rod for the hull to keep the boat. Stability on the sea, never sinking.

Strictly speaking, this idea is very interesting. However, the mast itself is the most important part of the sailboat. It is necessary to choose the same high-quality iron wood as the keel as the mast, so that the mast is not easy to break.

When a foldable mast encounters a storm, the first thing to break is probably the mast itself.

Besides, the sail is very heavy, and once the mast is folded, trying to put it up is definitely more tiring than raising it.

What’s more, how to ensure the stability of the hull when the mast is raised and folded is also a huge trouble.

All in all, unreliable.

Most of the Inuit designs are similarly unreliable.

But Liszt found an interesting content from his creative design. Inuit actually proposed the idea of using a huge rotating wheel to drive the ship forward.

This is simply the design of the “ship”!

On earth, the age of sailing ships was replaced by steam ships and gradually reduced to a sailing competition.

“Have you ever thought about how much power it takes for a huge wheel to move a ship forward, and such a wheel cannot be turned by manpower alone?” Lisztzuo asked with interest.

The Inuit seems to have already made a draft: “His Royal Highness, although manpower can’t push such a big wheel to turn, but the power of magic can. You can use the magic circle to push the wheel to turn.”

“Use the magic circle to drive?” This is a A very good solution, but Liszt was not satisfied, “The magic circle is indeed widely used, and it is not impossible to push the wheel to turn. However, the manufacture and consumption of the magic circle are huge expenses, and it is not suitable for use on ships. .”

This idea of combining magic and technology, he thought about it for a long time.

However, at the moment when the magic net is shrinking, it is difficult for the magic circle to absorb the magic power through the magic net, and it all needs to consume the magic power of the magic circle material itself.

To maintain such a magic circle operation, the consumption is huge.

In this world, there is no such thing as a spiritual stone to store magic power.

Even the small magic table needs to frequently replace the magic rune running materials. It costs a lot of money to communicate once, not to mention driving the huge wheels to run.

“This…” Inuit suddenly became embarrassed. As a magician, he was very aware of the value of magic materials, and his ideas were indeed very creative, which made him proud of it.

But according to his design, it may be possible to buy several barques with just one magic circle.

Coupled with the materials for maintaining the magic circle, I am afraid that such a ship will lose money every time it travels to trade.

A fool would design this way.

Looking at the embarrassed blushing Inuit, Liszt did not show disappointment, on the contrary, he valued Inuit very much.

Not only because of the smoke mission, but also because of the idea that the Inuit want to develop technology, not afraid that the idea is difficult to achieve, but afraid that there is no idea,

“Inuit, the power of magic is difficult to apply to the people, but this does not mean There is no power that can replace magic, there is a power I call it steam, you can study more in this direction… Also, some of your ideas for sailboats, I can’t judge the value of it, but I can let you participate in new sailboats Are you willing?”

Inuit immediately replied, “Thanks for your approval, I am of course willing to participate in the design of the new sailboat!”

Inuit personally designed the sailboat to sail the sea, which made Inuit what he wanted, but he still had doubts in his heart: ” Your Highness, what does the power of steam mean?”

“You will understand the power of steam when you go back and boil a pot of boiling water.” Liszt pretended to be mysterious.

In fact, he didn’t know much about the steam engine, the big killer that set off the industrial revolution. He only knew that it used coal, oil and other raw materials to burn, and then pushed the piston to do work and drive the machine to run.

“Boil the water, I’ll go back and boil the water!”

Inuit hurriedly retired.

Looking at his back, Liszt shook his head, the steam engine probably couldn’t start an industrial revolution in this world.

The reason is very simple, so far have not heard of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.

Without these fuels, burning wood alone would provide little power.

The lack of metal will also seriously restrict the manufacture of steam engines.

Of course, the steam engine is not without development potential, the reason is also very simple Liszt has a fire dragon!

When the little fire dragon grows up, the fire dragon super-magic can be released at will, and at that time, there will be a steady stream of magical little fire dragons as fuel.

Go to the legendary continent to grab a few more iron mines.

Steam steamer, it’s really possible to get it out!
