What's the big baby's name?

Magic airship.

Zhou Ming and the Continental Chamber of Commerce worked together for nearly a year to develop a magic aerostat.

There is a kind of magical gas in this world. Its density is very low, its physical and chemical properties are very stable, and it does not participate in any chemical reactions.

If we compare it with the hydrogen gas on Earth, the density of this gas is actually only one thousandth of that of hydrogen... which is equivalent to having no mass at all.

Zhou Ming and engineers from the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry named it "Wu Qi".

It means "gas of nothingness" and "massless gas".

And through systematic calculations: "airless" actually accounts for about 95% of the material composition of Azeroa.

This ratio is higher than the 75% mass ratio of dark matter in the Earth universe where Zhou Ming's body is located.

Why is the content of "airless" so high?

The system gave an explanation:

"The magic particles and fighting energy particles in this plane do not have anti-gravity properties."

“All matter has mass, and no other force counteracts it.”

"So according to normal physical laws, the entire continent of Azeroa will collapse into a sphere under the influence of gravity."

"Depending on the size of this plane and the total amount of matter, this plane will not only collapse into a sphere, but may also become a sun or a massive black hole."

"But instead of that change, it turned into a spinning disk."

"The reason is lack of energy."

"The airless mass is very small, the density is very low, and it does not participate in any chemical reactions, so it is a good 'partition' material."

"If you look at it in a microscopic environment, you can see that this plane is filled with airlessness everywhere."

"Especially thousands of kilometers underground, there is a huge 'airless' mattress. The surface of this mattress has great tension, like a coin floating on the water. The continent of Azeroa floats like this... …So it appears as a flat disk.”

"It is precisely because of the large number of airless existences that this plane can exist stably."

So after Wu Qi's discovery, Zhou Ming immediately applied it to a device: the aerostat.

According to the principle of buoyancy, a 1 cubic meter hydrogen balloon, ignoring its own weight, can lift approximately 1.26 kilograms of weight.

The density of airless is only one thousandth of that of hydrogen, so 1 cubic meter of airless can lift approximately 1.28 kilograms of weight, regardless of its own weight.

If you build a large aerostat with a length of 160 meters, a diameter of 18 meters, and a volume of about 30,000 cubic meters, it can lift objects weighing 38.4 tons, or nearly 40 tons, just by relying on its own buoyancy.

40 tons, this figure is quite impressive. The load capacity of a Hercules propeller transport aircraft is only about 40 tons.

What's more, aerostats have less power requirements. Using aerostats for air transportation can save a lot of fuel and greatly improve endurance.

but……

In terms of flight speed, this is the weakness of aerostats... Due to their large size, large flight resistance, and structural endurance, the flight speed of conventional aerostats generally does not exceed 200 kilometers per hour.

Given the vastness of the Azeroa plane, this kind of aerospace craft is only suitable for domestic transportation within short distances, or international transportation between a few countries.

The flight distance should preferably not exceed 20,000 kilometers.

In addition, in dealing with complex weather conditions, such as strong winds, etc., it is very inconvenient to use aerostats and can easily lead to accidents.

Based on the development experience on the other side of the earth, aerostats are destined to be eliminated, and are far less convenient than fixed-wing transport aircraft.

But this is a magical plane.

There is magic here.

If the word "magic" is added to the aerostat and it becomes a magic aerostat, the situation will become completely different.

What exactly is the difference?

One, the magic aeroboat has a larger carrying capacity!

Zhou Ming carved the wind array runes on the surface of the magic aeroboat. After evenly painting 108 "floating" magic runes on the conventional aeroboat, the load capacity of the aeroboat doubled. .

From 40 tons to 80 tons!

After optimizing the shape of the aerostat and changing it from an elliptical spindle shape to a "lifting body" structure with a convex top and a concave bottom, as long as it reaches a certain speed, the load capacity will be doubled based on the former!

That is, it increased from 80 tons to 160 tons.

This load capacity is quite exaggerated.

After Zhou Ming and the engineers from the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry installed two sets of four fire demon engines with an average of 1,500 horsepower each on the magic aeroboat with a lifting body structure.

Driven by a total of 6,000 horsepower, the magic aerostat is instantly impressive. After accelerating through a 2,000-meter-long slide, it can easily fly even if it is fully loaded with an object weighing 300 tons.

The ultimate load capacity actually reaches 300 tons!

If the size of the magic aerostat is enlarged and the power system is strengthened, it can fly even if it is pulling 500 tons of cargo!

What's more important is that the magic aeroboat, which has been heavily modified and structurally strengthened, is not slow at all.

In the thin air of 20,000 meters high, the magic aerostat can fly at a high speed of about 450 kilometers... This speed is already half that of the Hercules transport aircraft.

Coupled with the abnormally powerful carrying capacity, Zhou Ming and the Continental Chamber of Commerce agreed that the development potential of the magic aerostat is greater...even if its cost is much higher.

The emergence of magic aerostats will undoubtedly bring about earth-shaking changes to the world's transportation industry!

Although steam locomotives with speeds of about 100 kilometers per hour have appeared in this world.

Although this world already has a space teleportation array that spans tens of millions of miles.

However, due to cost considerations, conventional horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, cargo ships, and railway transportation still occupy the absolute mainstream.

In addition, although the gryphon mounts of the Continental Chamber of Commerce have long been spread across various countries.

Although the total number of Hercules transport aircraft in the Yadud Kingdom has reached more than 300, their flight range covers all kingdoms within a radius of 100,000 miles.

However, the load capacity of the Griffin is extremely limited, and the Hercules transport aircraft is limited by the production of oil and has not been promoted on a large scale.

The emergence of the magic aeroboat perfectly solved all problems.

It has a huge load capacity, low operating costs (it can carry less fuel if equipped with a small number of magicians, or equipped with a propeller engine), has a long range, a longer endurance, a large internal space, more complete facilities, and a high speed. It's slow.

Therefore, for the transportation field in this dimension, the emergence of magic aeroboats is of epoch-making significance!

So when the press conference held on the sunny day of November 23rd at the Continental Chamber of Commerce’s open-air test flight site began, Zhou Ming’s introduction sounded like a tarpaulin used to cover the aerostat. After opening it, there was a cry of exclamation when Zhou Ming, this big treasure, appeared in front of the world.

"Her name is 'Beautiful Princess', you can call her princess!"

In front of more than 20,000 spectators, Zhou Ming, holding a microphone in his hand, first introduced the name of the magic aerostat.

Then it introduces its fixed parameters such as length, width, and maximum diameter.

Finally, her performance parameters such as load capacity, flight altitude, maximum flight speed, maximum range, etc. are introduced.

It attracted a lot of exclamations.

"Oh my god, it can actually send 3,000 people to an altitude of 10,000 meters at the same time?"

"The speed is five times that of the fastest steam train. It only takes one day to fly from the westernmost edge of the empire to the easternmost edge of the empire?"

"If it is controlled by a magician, she can fly continuously in the air for 50 days. If an ordinary pilot controls the propeller engine, she can sail continuously for 15 days?"

"This...this is simply a miracle on earth!"

"Then... that bastard boy has created something so surprising again. What kind of monster is he?"

Among the people attending the press conference, Wei Ni was mumbling to herself again.

Looking at the bastard guy who was still introducing him nonstop, Winnie felt very complicated in her heart at this moment.

Does she still want to kill that bastard?

think!

Of course I really want to.

But more than a year has passed, and it has been more than a year since that bastard came to the Waitrose Empire, and Winnie has not found any opportunity to attack or challenge him.

Even though she had taken the initiative to find him at least ten times and asked them to compete in the ring, this bastard was always busy.

Busy with various things.

Not busy moving the assembly line of a pharmaceutical production factory.

He was doing experiments on preparing the [Extreme Ice Potion].

There is also the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where he is engaged in research on his "magic aerostat".

I almost never saw him stop, it was all kinds of things anyway.

The opponent's prevarication of "I will compete with you in the ring when I am free" has not come true until now.

After being prevaricated too many times, Winnie became angry, so for a period of time, she stayed with him all day long to see how "unavailable" he was.

In the end, Wei Ni had no choice but to discover that this bastard did not prevaricate her. He was indeed very busy, often working for two or three months in a row without a day off in between.

His busyness is not just an act.

He really didn't have time to compete with himself.

so what should I do now?

Could it be that he was forced into the ring to compete and then took his life?

Shaked his head.

Winnie had this idea but gave up in the end.

Because that bastard guy has fans.

And there’s more than one fan.

In the entire Nilata High School of Magic, half of the more than 5,000 students have become his fans.

Because of the boy's invention of the [Extreme Ice Potion] and his brave exposure of the drug nature of Datura Flower, he became the first hero to stand up and openly oppose Datura Flower.

He is very young, and his words are very down-to-earth. He often has witty words and golden sentences. Countless young students at the Higher Academy of Magic are impressed by his charisma.

Coupled with his endless variety of genius inventions, he has become the idol of many people!

In Wei Ni's class alone, more than half of her classmates idolize this bastard guy, and they all want to be like that bastard guy... There are many girls among them. Several of Wei Ni's best friends said that marrying One must marry someone like Lemoton Lelin.

Wei Ni was extremely unconvinced. Is that bastard guy qualified to gain the admiration of others?

but……

Privately, Wei Ni had to admit that this bastard guy was indeed a genius... because she had visited that guy at work, his omniscient performance while working, and the impression he left in the minds of others was like a God, the almighty and omniscient God!

Several times, Winnie almost fell into submission.

So her mentality now became complicated. She still wanted to kill that bastard, but as time went on, it gradually faded away.

And she also gradually realized that it was impossible to kill him, and it gradually reduced to an angry word.

Because that kid became a public figure... an idol star worshiped by countless people.

There are many important people who value him, such as the Emperor of Waitrose Empire, such as the top leaders of the Magic Association... His weight in the hearts of many important people has become extremely huge.

Winnie didn't say anything about killing him. Even if she said a few bad words about this bastard behind his back, if anyone heard them, they would immediately refute her.

So being an enemy of such a character is like being an enemy of a righteous hero, like being an enemy of millions of people...Only a clown would do that.

Winnie is a person who cares about face very much. She has great concerns about doing something like that.

She could only wait for a legitimate and suitable opportunity to challenge him, and she had to take into account the public's feelings and not take his life.

So this was very frustrating and uncomfortable for her. Sometimes she even thought about giving up, but she was unwilling to do so.

After being spanked by him like that, should I just let it go?

no!

Absolutely not!

"Sister Winnie~"

While she was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came from Winnie's ear.

Taking a closer look, a smiling face appeared in front of her.

"Sister Wei Ni, the Beautiful Princess is about to have its first trial flight. I want to select 500 lucky passengers to be the first batch to board the Beautiful Princess for a test flight experience. You are the first lucky passenger I selected. I wonder if you can A favor?"

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

Seeing his bright smile and the cheering gazes of the people around him, Wei Ni blushed slightly for some reason.

Nodding, he took two steps forward and walked straight towards the Beautiful Princess.

Don't hit the smiling person. Since he is so please, just give him some face.
