Chapter 585

Rose said: "anyway, since this device can generate energy similar to magic crystal, it's very good. The nature of magic crystal is like battery, and the cost is too high. If it can be replaced by more long-term energy."

I nodded, "well, I'm in favor of this plan. I don't consider the role of this spherical capsule. This energy center alone is worth a try. The energy consumption of large cities is very high. In cities like ours, which are equipped with a lot of magic machines, we need to use them sparingly. This plan can be started when the funds for the dark temple arrive. However, we suggest that you use your own team to repair the dark temple. The labor of the dark temple can only be used to build the above ground part of the city, and we can repair other things ourselves. "

Su Mei said, "if you don't tell me, I can't let them repair it! Don't treat me as a layman as the guild engineering director? "

Rose playfully rubbed Su Mei's head: "how big are you! Don't talk like an old man. "

The eagle said: "urban construction is not just a design plan. What about the specific project? Are we still building some special buildings? "

I thought for a while and said, "the ground Eisinger needs to build a new transnational transmission array. The sky's Eisinger may need to leave China in the future, so it's better to use the transmission array separately. In the future, the Research Institute will move to the underground area designed by Sumei. It is almost enough to leave a large building on the ground with a sign. The internal equipment should not be installed. The magic experiment equipment is also very expensive. If you can save it, you can save it. This part of the dark temple will not help us pay for it, so it can't be wasted. "

Rose said: "I think the advanced technology dock should be built at the Eisinger ground station. I think it is more appropriate to change it into a battlefield support base. In addition, I think it is better to replace the high-rise dock with something else. It's not really necessary to release warships in such a large space. It's a waste. "

When Rose said that, I suddenly remembered. "Volma, didn't you say you could design mobile fighters last time? How did it turn out? "

"The result is a little bit, but it's a little different from the expectation. I think it's better for us to go to the scene after the meeting."

"OK, now we will decide how to arrange the defense facilities of Eisinger ground station and so on."

We held this meeting for more than two hours. Eisinger's design drawing was too complicated. So many of us were talking about it. Sumei simply stood on the table and took a pen to talk about where to change. When we discussed the final plan, we all felt a little dizzy. The plan was too complicated.

I leaned back to my seat and kneaded my temple and said, "OK, the plan has come out. Let's go to work according to the plan."

"Let's go first." Hawk and red moon all left the conference hall to assign work. Woma, Sumei and rose stayed and decided to take me to see the pilot model of the flying regiment, which had been planned for a long time.

Along the way, I kept asking woma, but she said that I couldn't understand if she didn't see things, so she didn't tell me that she had to take me to see it.

The research base of aircraft model is not in steel city, but in new Eisinger. The new eisenegger is divided into three parts. The command area at the top is much smaller than the middle area on the second floor. Therefore, there is a circle of platform empty at the top of the second floor. This area was later changed into a runway, which is reserved for aviation. Now, this is where voma brings us.

We were still on our way, and woma had already informed the people here to pull the samples out, so by the time we arrived, the samples were already on the platform. Even I was dumbfounded to see this row of large and small experimental objects. "This Isn't this a piston plane? "

There are so many kinds of aircrafts on the platform, and the one closest to us is familiar to me, because you can see similar things in almost any Aviation Museum. We are clearly in front of us is an old aircraft, and is not the general old, this guy is actually three wing.

"Did you come up with such a thing in a long time?" To tell you the truth, I'm very disappointed. This thing is really advanced in ancient times, but this game has flying Warcraft and magic technology, which is too backward.

"No, this is actually a trainer," voma explained

"Ah? Trainer? "

"Everyone in our guild has long guns. Airplanes don't mean much to us. What we need is flying warships, but warships can't be without aircraft protection. But our players are limited, and we can't have a large number of players on each ship. So I went to ask for help. Finally, Sumei thought of a way."

I looked at Su Mei and asked in surprise, "did you think of it?"

Sumei nodded and said, "before I say this idea, I want you to know two things first."

"What's the matter?"

Su Mei said: "brother ziri and sister rose have been busy outside, so I don't know. Recently, notices have been posted in all system cities saying that the game needs to adjust some strategic settings. Because it is still in the adjustment period, there is no direct opening notice. Instead, it should be reminded in the form of a notice, and then the whole game will be announced when it is officially upgraded. ""What is the change?"

"It's about the adjustment of urban defense NPC. In the future, there will be no restrictions on the actions of city guards. The guild of a city can direct the city guards to attack other cities, and will no longer be restricted by the scope of the city. "

"What? Can our guild attack other guilds wantonly? How wonderful I'm so excited. The biggest strength of this guild is that NPCs have many guards, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. In the past, they were not allowed to go out of the city to attack the enemy actively. They can only be used as guards. Now they can be sent to participate in the war.

Su Mei said, "don't get excited. The main system won't be so stupid to give you such a big vacancy

"Is there a limit?"

Su Mei nodded: "there are not only restrictions, but also several restrictions. On the one hand, it is restricted economically, on the other hand, it is restricted by social relations. "

"What kind of restriction is this? The more you say it, the more confused I am! "

"It's easy to understand," Sumei explained. The first is economic constraints. In the future, the NPC guard will no longer be a lossless army. Each NPC will consume some special resources according to its own situation. That is to say, if you want to maintain a large standing army, you must spend a lot of money, not one-time expenditure, but all the time. "

"Dizzy! What about so many people in our guild? " I asked anxiously, "what kind of money should I spend?"

"The reasons for spending money are not necessarily the same. They are differentiated according to the arms. The most important one is the consumption of food and rates. Each NPC has to pay a monthly salary, and they have to eat. "

"Isn't it?"

Su Mei said: "you can rest assured. I have consulted with the paid question and answer system. Our guild has taken a big advantage."

"What do you say?"

"First of all, our troops are totally dependent on our isolated legions. They don't have families and things like that, so they don't have to pay. It's said that the most troublesome army is the paladin Legion. The sick soldiers are very expensive and frightening to death. The second cheapest is food. Most of the guards on our side are undead, and there are not many branches that need to eat, which saves a lot of expenses. It is said that several guilds have begun to plan major disarmament. "

"Disarmament?"

"What can I do if I can't afford it?"

I heard a glance at the rose and she laughed at me. It seems that I guess it's right. This modification probably comes from Rose's economic bomb plan. If it goes on like this, players will spend more and more money on the game. It's really dark enough! But anyway, the money is black to our Longyuan, which I am still happy to see.

I went on to ask, "what does that social relationship limit mean except for economic constraints?"

Su Mei said, "if you want to send troops, you have to go there? If there are other player forces or NPC forces between the other side and your city, will you drive through like this? In reality, is it not necessary to borrow from the surrounding countries in order to fight a war? This is going to test your social skills. Running all the way, it is estimated that many guilds along the way will have to find a way to get through the joints. "

I asked in doubt: "find a nearby city to borrow the transmission array and use it."

Before answering rose, Sumei said, "you really want to come out. Don't you think, such a large army into other people's cities, people don't worry about you taking the opportunity to attack them? It's so troublesome to pass by the way from outside the city, let alone the transmission array in the city. What's more, you don't want to think about it. It's nothing if you go alone. How much does it cost to transmit millions of troops? In addition, the transmission array still has the problem of error probability. If you pass an army, some of it will be lost. "

In this way, the actual attack is much more difficult than imagined!

Su Mei said: "in fact, the economic limit just now does not include the cost of military support."

"What? That's not enough? "

"Military training is only an important part of it. In addition, there are many settings that need to be paid attention to." Su Mei pulled her fingers and said, "soldiers can't go to battle naked! You have to have armor. After upgrading, the combat effectiveness of NPC will be divided into three parts, one is self attack defense, another is weapon attack and the other is armor defense. All of these should be calculated separately. If your guild can produce armor, you can save a little. If you don't have production capacity, you have to buy it. You can buy it from the system store or other players. It seems that NPC can use armor with players. "

"Don't our guild soldiers already have armor?"

"But they will die!" Sumei said: "after upgrading, the NPC of the guild's Legion will not be automatically revived. After death, they must spend money to summon souls and then revive. After resurrection, only coarse cloth clothes are left, and armor and weapons have to be bought again. But our guild will take advantage of it. "

"What do you say?"

"After the death of a NPC on the battlefield, just like players, their bodies will not disappear. We can clean the battlefield, remove all the armor from the dead, and then equip our own troops. However, the damaged armor needs to be repaired, which also costs money, but it is much cheaper than buying it again."

"We can pick on others! Why do we take advantage of it? ""But they don't like other people's armor. The morale of human soldiers wearing body armor will decrease, and paladins will not accept it at all. "

"That's a big advantage."

Su Mei said: "in fact, the cheapest thing is the beast army. They even wear clothes and don't need armor at all. By the way, it seems that when the troops are resurrected, our ghost arms can be sold at half price. Are they very profitable? "

Rose said: "after this change, it is said that the control of NPC Corps has been released, but the actual result is that everyone has invested a lot of money, and finally offset each other. It is tantamount to not letting go, but the battlefield makes the scene bigger and consumes faster."

This is called invisible consumption. In order to keep what they have, players have to constantly invest in new ones. When they find out that they have invested more than they have received, they will not give up the part they have. In this way, they will continue to invest money into it, which is the recycling of money.

I asked again, "although it is very expensive, most guilds should be able to maintain a medium-sized NPC army. But what about those guilds without quotas?"

Sumei said, "this system is also arranged. In the future, there will be a large number of scattered battle NPCs wandering between cities. Players' guild can recruit these NPCs to become their own guards. When recruiting, they should negotiate with NPC and give one-time money to let the NPC join the guild force. If you feel trouble, you can go to the army task and take the completed Legion directly. Of course, the scroll of military mission should be purchased and completed The process costs a lot of money. What's more, the future NPC troops will not completely follow their lords' Guild. NPC will have a sense of autonomy. They will have high morale, low morale and even escape and mutiny according to their treatment. "

"Will NPC rebel?"

"Of course, Vader and his men have defected, and the dark temple has followed us?"

"That's right

Su Mei said: "in a word, as long as you can afford it, you can recruit more troops."

"It's estimated that all guilds will lose money now!"

Sumei said: "one of the reasons why I asked voma to design the trainer is because of this change. In the future, NPC operations will certainly not be able to take the transport station, and they will have to travel a long distance. However, since our guild has the technology, we can transport the troops to fight by air. Moreover, high NPC level means high maintenance cost. In order to find the best combination between military expenditure and combat effectiveness, I plan to cultivate these low-level NPCs to use high-level magic machines. Everyone knows that a pilot is more important than an infantry soldier, and they are the same person, so I plan to train low-level soldiers into pilots. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of air length is calculated according to weapons, but not the attack power of pilots. In this way, we can develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and bring maximum combat effectiveness with the least money. "

"But aircraft also need money

"Flying machines do cost money, but it's a game." Sumei explained: "the cost of producing an aircraft in our guild is almost the same as that of arming five soldiers. However, one aircraft is definitely more powerful than five soldiers, so it is better to build an aircraft to save money."

"Can NPC fly a plane?"

Su Mei said seriously: "this is about to talk about my second discovery. According to my survey, since the last upgrade of NPC intelligence, many NPCs have the ability to learn. As long as they are not beyond their physical limits, they can learn. When sister wolma asked me to help, I did the experiment specially. First of all, we asked a skeleton soldier with a long knife to learn how to operate bows and arrows. As a result, we only taught him how to shoot bows and arrows in one hour, but the basic operation of archery was almost the same. This proves that NPC can actually learn. "

"But archery is so simple, flying a plane is quite another matter."

"It was an early attempt. After that, we tried to train all kinds of NPC soldiers to use gunpowder guns, and they all learned it."

Rose was surprised and asked, "last time woma asked me for funding to manufacture 100000 gunpowder guns. Isn't it for the purpose of setting up NPC firearm team?"

"Yes," she said with a smile. After the experiment, Sumei and I want to equip the NPC with muskets, so that all arms can shoot the enemy from a long distance. When they get close, they can put on big knives and spears. Isn't this to improve the combat effectiveness? "

If a group of skeletons charging with rifles appear on the battlefield, it is estimated that the enemy will faint directly.

Sumei then said, "we don't have to let NPC understand how the aircraft flies. They just need to know how to use it. The flexibility of these white skeletons is very good. We have trained more than a dozen skeletons to fly aircrafts, and the effect is good. They are all learning fast. "

How dizzy! Skull pilot?

"So this three wing plane is the equipment for training skeletons to fly?"

"This is a junior trainer, followed by an intermediate trainer and an advanced trainer, and then a combat aircraft," voma said"I think there are more than four kinds of aircraft here."

"There are only three types of training aircraft. There are many kinds of actual combat aircraft. Because there is no decision on the final finalization, a lot of samples have been made."

I looked at the three wing aircraft nearest us and said, "isn't this trainer a bit old-fashioned?"

"It's just to be a trainer," voma said "Didn't the last three people you brought in converted Atlantis into air thrusters?" she explained? After we miniaturized that thing, we removed the external contour and changed it to a paddle type connection, so this imitation piston engine was born. This is actually a magic machine, not a real piston engine. "

"Is it a magic stone?"

"Of course. There's nothing else to do with it. "

I looked at the three-layer wing and said, "if this wing is made like this, the lift is enough. Isn't the speed and flexibility lost?"

"It's designed to slow it down," voma said

"Ah? You don't want to be fast, but slow? "

Sumei explained: "the power of the magic thruster is too high, the space on the plane is limited, and we can't slow down through a large number of gear sets, so in order to counter this too hot power, we built this three wing aircraft. These wings provide lift while slowing down flight speed, and they seriously affect flexibility, making the aircraft fly very smoothly. Although these are disadvantages for fighters, this is a primary trainer. It needs to fly slowly and steadily to train novices! If it starts like a rocket, how can we train? "

"Well, it makes sense."

Woma pulled me around the three wing aircraft and said, "this is a secondary trainer, which is an intermediate training aircraft."

This one looks better. This is a monoplane propeller fighter, which looks like the British jet fighters of World War II.

"This one is the same as the junior trainer just now, but it has fewer wings, and its wings are very narrow, so it's much faster and more flexible for training. Behind that is the advanced training aircraft

We went around the middle one, and the one in the back looked really weird. It looks like a big cylinder with two wings on each side, and the cockpit above is almost riding on it.

"This is a jet," voma explained, seeing my expression. The last time you brought the three technicians to transform the air turbine, we made it smaller and lengthened the length of the pipe to become the middle tube. In order to save time, we directly welded a pair of wings on both sides of the engine. The upper cockpit is completely inlaid with nails, so it looks ugly

Rose said: "I've heard that the German style is only practical, regardless of shape. Today I've seen it. It's like a garbage can with wings

Su Mei said: "anyway, it's a trainer. What's the use of making it so beautiful? It's OK to fly."

"What are those things?" Rose asked, pointing to the strange looking aircraft behind her? Why is it different from the one in front? "

"That's an experimental fighter."

We went to the front of this row of airplanes and looked at them. To tell you the truth, these things have nothing to do with my impression of airplanes. "Is this a plane?"

"It's almost an airplane," voma said! But I think it's better to call it a flying machine. "

These things in front of us are not like airplanes at all. They are not only strange in shape, but also have no wings. I went around an aircraft three times and I couldn't find a propeller or a jet, which means it wasn't propelled by any known means.

Rose goes to one of the aircraft and knocks twice, listening to the echo. "Pure steel? How much does that weigh? "

"Because the speed of this aircraft is too fast, and the steering mode is very special, so the torsion of the body is very huge. If you don't make the fuselage stronger, it will not be able to withstand it!"

I said to woma, "steel is still too hard. How about using crustacean shells instead?"

"We have considered using materials like Warcraft bones or crustaceans, but the cost of those things is too high, and the output is too small. It's OK to buy a little scattered. If it is produced in large quantities, I'm afraid it can't keep up with the consumption rate."

"Mix it up. A part of the skeleton is used as the supporting beam, and the outside is covered with steel. By the way, next time I contact the dragon people to see if I can use the keel of the Dragon cemetery. It's big enough. One can change several aircrafts. "

"Of course, but for the time being we can only find steel."

I went to one of the aircraft and looked. It looks like a comma shaped whistle. The whistle's big belly supports the ground, and several retractable wheels support its balance. Behind this belly is a not too long tail, although the tail is there, but did not let the aircraft tilt, I think the weight is concentrated in the front of this belly.There are some small connecting devices on both sides of the "whistle", which may be used for hanging weapons.

Rose also looked at the aircraft for a long time, and then asked, "which side is the head?"

"This way."

Woma refers to the big belly of the comma, because the little tail is the real tail. But it looks like a propeller helicopter, but it doesn't have a propeller.

I knocked on the steel belly and said, "this thing has no windows. How can the pilot look at the road when sitting inside?"

"That's not the cockpit!"

"Ah?" I was surprised to stare at the large steel fairway with a diameter of more than three meters: "this is not the cockpit. Where is the pilot sitting?"

"In the tail at the back, you can see it when you go up."

At woma's suggestion, I climbed onto the aircraft and saw that there were three holes in the tail, which were arranged in finished shape. This thing has completely subverted my understanding of aircraft. Even if it looks strange, even the seats have such characteristics. There are two holes side by side near the belly of the three holes, and a single hole is a little farther away from the two ahead, and it's just on the axis of the aircraft.

From below, woma called out to me, "the two in front are the arms controllers' seats, one for each side, and the other at the back is the driver's seat."

Dizzy! The pilot actually sits in the back position. This aircraft is really special.

Rose asked, "how does this thing fly? With no propeller and no ejector inlet, is it the same gravity resistance device used by Eisinger? "

"You're right." "This is the gravity resistance device used," voma said

"Isn't the gravity resister unable to move during start-up?"

"Isn't there a special track principle?" voma said

"You mean the ball is actually a track?"

"It's not the track, it's the ball."

I jumped down from above and asked, "what is a track ball?"

"The caterpillar ball is a connected track just like the track, but the general tank track is opened into a trapezoid, and we wrap it on a steel ball and turn it into a circle."

"How do you turn?"

"Have you ever seen a gyroscope?"

"Yes."

"We use the same principle to drive the aircraft," voma explained. Two steel rings that are just big enough to be nested cross each other to form a universal rail ring. We make the ring close to the outside steel ball and apply lubricant inside. The largest steel ring is just equivalent to the inner diameter of the outer steel ball. With the help of lubricating oil, the large ring can rotate freely in the steel ball, but because it is a round ball, no matter how I can't get out. The small ring in the big ring is welded to the big ring at a vertical angle, and then a rotor track is made in the inner ring, on which there is a gravity resistance device that can slide freely due to inertia and gravity

"Ha, I see." I excitedly said: "because the gravity resistance device can move freely on the orbit, and the large orbit itself can also slide, so it completely relies on inertial rolling. When the aircraft turns, it rolls along the inner wall of the ball, which is equivalent to buffering, and because of its own gravity, it automatically slides to the opposite direction to the direction of going forward. As long as the ball starts the track like propulsion function, it can drive the aircraft to move. What a clever design. But there's no computer here. How do you control when and which anti gravity component works? "

"We don't have to control it." Worma said with pride: "although the anti gravity can slide, in fact, its contact point with the rotating shaft is unchanged. There are two free swinging energy brushes on both sides of the ball. This principle is the same as that of Eisinger's drive device. However, Eisinger relies on gravity to make the energy brush vertically point to the anti gravity device that needs to be started. This is the movement of the propeller Inertia and gravity work together to just keep the altitude and offset the inertia. It's really convenient. "

Rose asked, "but this can only control the attitude adjustment of the aircraft after turning. Where does the initial steering power come from and what about the control of the lift force?"

"That's easy to do." "Because we have three gravity balls in orbit that are connected by supporting steel tubes, their relative positions are fixed no matter how they slide," voma said. These three balls are respectively equipped with magic crystal resonance device. We use this device to control a power ball to start up, and the control can be completed through the relative starting of the three balls. However, because the three balls are always rotating, it is very difficult to control them. We must judge the position of the gravity ball according to their flying attitude at that time, so as to accurately control the flight. That's why we need to have the pilot at the back, because that's exactly where the gravity ball is pointing. However, this design also brings a lot of disadvantages. For example, the pilot's vision is completely blocked. He has to rely on the guidance of the combat controller in front of him to fly. The pilot himself can not see anything except the dashboard"Terrible aircraft." I sighed: "this thing must be driving more than playing a unicycle!"

Voma said with a gloomy face: "that's why I've been hesitating. I don't know if I want to produce this kind of aircraft. Its speed and flexibility are unknown. But it's too difficult to control when it flies. Especially when it lands, it can't be stabilized. We can only use the block to slow it down and fall into the net. The runway has no meaning for it. At most, it's for take-off One second. "

Rose said, "don't we have jet turbines? Why not just build jet fighters

Voma has just reached the limit, but I think it's the jet trainer you've seen. This game is not exactly the same as the reality, aircraft without computer assistance, jet aircraft can not fly, unless you can let three pilots like a person to operate the aircraft, otherwise there is no way to control the high-speed jet, this kind of low-speed and too slow, even Griffins fly faster than it. Moreover, the flexibility of jet fighters is too poor. In reality, it doesn't matter if an airplane hits a plane. Anyway, everyone is the same. But what we have to deal with in this game is flexible creatures. That kind of flexible aircraft is just a living target. As long as someone calculates the lead time, you can't dodge it. "

"By the way, let me try it. I want to see what the difference is between this thing and a real airplane."

Sumei immediately asked, "have you ever flown a fighter before?"

"Ah...!" Oops, it's a slip of the tongue! "No, no, I've just been on a tourist plane before. I think the real plane is like that. If you take this thing again, you can roughly understand the performance difference."

"I suggest you don't try." Fortunately, Sumei didn't ask.

"Why?"

"Because it's not for people at all."

"But how do you know if you don't try?"

"Well, I'll go up with you. Anyway, the functions of the three cabins can be interchanged. If you can't control it, I'll take your place. Now I'm the most skilled operator."

At my request, we finally decided to have a test flight, and even Rose came up to join us in the fun. But for the sake of safety, I summoned luck and pepper in advance. In case of an accident, Chili's mental field can help stabilize the aircraft. Fortunately, just catch us.

This chapter is 9000, and the remaining 24000.
